National Doctors’ Day is a day celebrated to recognize the contributions of physicians to the human community. In India, National Doctors’ Day is celebrated on July 1 all across India to honour the legendary physician and the second chief minister of West Bengal, Dr Bidhan Chandra Roy. He was born on July 1, 1882, and died on the same date in 1962, aged 80 years.

 Dr. Prabhu Swami, Head of the Department of Gastro and Liver Surgery, Sapra Hospital, said that during abdominal surgery, all the parasites (Peritoneal Hydatidosis) affected bumps weighed around 18 kgs, were removed while protecting the vital organs of the patient.

 According to Dr. Prabhu, this special type of parasite enters into the human body due to contact with domestic animals such as dogs, sheep, etc., and creates parasitic lumps in the stomach. Usually, patients have only one or two cysts, but this patient had more than 100 cysts in the body, which made her condition very serious. The immediate operation was necessary as these lumps were very poisonous from inside, and if any of them get burst, then it becomes very difficult to save the life of the patient. But in spite of all kinds of difficulties, I, along with Dr. Tarun Sapra and Dr. Rajesh Garg (Anesthetist), the entire team of the hospital made this complex operation successful.

About this complex operation which lasted for about three hours, Dr. Prabhu Swamy, Head of the Department of Gastro and Liver Surgery Department of Sapra Hospital said that the operation was complex as we have to keep the patient’s spleen protected while removing the affected part of the pancreas.

 According to Dr. Prabhu, the spleen is an important part of the immune system of the body and in such circumstances, it becomes a complex process to protect it.  But despite all kinds of difficulties, I and Dr. Tarun Sapra as well as the entire team of the Sapra hospital done this complex surgery successfully.  Now the patient’s health is improving and his condition is out of danger and he has been discharged from the hospital after the fourth day after the operation.

 The patient and his family expressed their gratitude to the doctors of Sapra Hospital in Hisar and their entire team for the success of this complex operation.

 Dr. Tarun Sapra, Director of Sapra Hospital, and Dr. Prabhu Swamy, Head of the Department of Gastro and Liver Surgery, said that now in addition to the surgery of pancreas injury, this department also has facilities to treat pancreas and liver cancer and operation of rotting liver through binoculars or open surgery in Sapra hospital.  Now patients suffering from such diseases will not have to go far for treatment that will save both the time and money of the patients.

According to Dr. Amit Saini, Orthopedician at Sapra Multispeciality Hospital Hisar, Patellofemoral pain syndrome shows stiffness and pain in the kneecap and the sufferer may be unable to do his day to day tasks like climbing stairs and kneel down.

Patellofemoral is consists of two words Patella also called kneecap and Femur bone (thighbone). The patella rests in a groove on the top of the femur called the trochlea. While bending and straightening the knee, the patella moves back and forth inside this trochlear groove. The ends of the femur, trochlear groove, and the underside of the patella are covered by a sticky substance called articular cartilage. Articular cartilage helps in moving up and down of the bone. Synovium-— a thin lining of tissue that covers the joint’s surface also helps in movement. A thin pad of fat acts as a shock absorber just below the kneecap, cushions the kneecap.

The reason for the occurrence of Patellofemoral pain is due to nerve pain around kneecap and tissues due to over physical activity including knee joint.

Overdoing of squatting, climbing, and jogging can cause the syndrome

Muscular Imbalance: Patellofemoral pain can occur when the muscles around your hip and knee don’t keep your kneecap properly aligned. This is also known as PatelIar  Malalignment.

Injury, dislocation to the knee can cause Patellofemoral pain.

According to Dr. Amit Saini, patients suffering from Patellofemoral Pain Syndrome have the following symptoms:

Pain in the front of the knee

Pain occurs during running, climbing the stairs, jogging, and bending of the knee.

Pain on while sitting for a long time with bent knees.

There are some steps by doing which knee pain can be prevented. After all the knee pain persists, visit the orthopedics for the treatment.

1. Work on your extra weight. Shed the extra kilos of your body as they lay an unnecessary burden on the knees.

2. Before going any exercise, always try to warm up the body by doing simple exercises.

3. Ask an orthopedician or physical therapist about mobility and strength exercises to improve the technique of jumping, walking, and running — and help the groove control the patella properly.

4.  Always wear properly fitted shoes.

Some home remedies for Patellofemoral pain include

1. RICE Treatment: Rest, Ice, Compression and Elevation.

Rest: Stay away from any physical activities that would put any pressure on the affected area.
Ice: Apply ice to the affected area every 2 to 3 hours for about 20 minutes each time.
Compression: Reduce swelling by wrapping the affected area with a stretchy bandage.
Elevation: Raise the injured area if possible.

2. Over-the-counter pain relievers can also be helpful.

How body works in Excessive Heat:

Our body maintains its temperature according to the environment. When temperature increases our bodies try to keep us cool mostly by evaporation (sweating) and radiation (directing more blood flow to the skin). But as humidity increases, the rate of evaporation decreases. Thus it strains the cardiovascular system because it affects the water and mineral balance in body.

Problem become worse for the persons having weak heart or person on a verge of heart failure. The loss of minerals( Sodium and Potassium) and releasing of stress hormones can become fatal. Increased blood flow and dehydration due to heat can drop blood pressure of the person. Other symptoms of heat related heat related Heart disease are: Nausea, vomiting, Headache, fatigue, etc.

Dr. Sehgal give some important tips for heart patient to follow during hot and humid summers.

Keep your Body Hydrated: Drik enough water to keep the body hydrated and safe from the sun heat. Avoid taking tea, coffee and other beverages.

Exercise: light exercise in morning and evening is also best.

Proper fabrication: one should prefer cotton clothes in summers as it absorbs the sweat.

Apply ice for heat exhaustion and cool compress for heat stroke.

If you think, after doing certain precautions, problem still persists, immediately call the doctor.
