A ‘Rapid Algorithm’ Developed By Scientists Will Diagnose Heart Attacks Better, Says Nirmal Singh 3C


Heart attacks and heart problems account for over 10 percent of all the emergency department consultation in India, reports say.
Scientists have developed a rapid algorithm that is able to identify if a patient is undergoing heart attack – the diagnosis done through the algorithm will be superior to everything that the hospitals and doctors have been using.
According to the report released last week, more than 10% of all the emergency consultations in India are for heart problems and myocardial infarctions. Rapidly understanding the issue with the patient and whether or not they are undergoing a heart attack will help the doctors create a treatment plan for them. - Nirmal Singh 3C

The algorithm which is under observation and is being used for research purposes allows timely detection of heart problems and heart attacks; something that was not possible with the available technology and tools at the disposal of the doctors. The system will also allow the doctors to know the alternative causes of acute chest pain. Many of the heart problems that patients visit the hospitals are benign and do not require serious attention, the system will reveal those situations and the patient will be sent home reassured about his health and that there is nothing serious. - Nirmal Singh 3C

The study was finalized after the diagnostic performance of the algorithm was checked based on the data collected from over 4000 patients that came to the emergency department and complained about acute chest pain.

The research was concluded with the algorithm identifying the heart attacks and acute chest pains correctly over 99 percent of the time.
The researchers were not sure about the performance of the rapid algorithm and needed practical proof that it can be used in the hospitals. The suitability and safety of the algorithm for clinical care were revealed only after it was put to work on the data collected over the years. - Nirmal Singh 3C

Nirmal Singh 3C Warns People About Places Mosquitoes Can Breed

Mosquitoes and the diseases they bring cause a lot of deaths in India. They are one of the most troublesome menaces that monsoon and rains bring in the country. The problem is more severe in places that are greener and have the possibility of water getting stagnant. Bengal, North East, Tamil Nadu and Maharashtra are considered to have an environment that is favorable for breeding of mosquitoes. Areas that have poor drainage system and where water can stay stagnant also allow the mosquitoes to multiply. What most people do not know is that mosquitoes can also multiply and breed in our homes if we aren’t careful. There are many places in our own homes that can have mosquitoes multiplying rapidly which can eventually cause severe health issues. Nirmal Singh 3C has revealed some lesser known places where mosquitoes can easily bread in our homes and the remedies and precautions we can take to minimize the breeding and health issues.         Flo...

Does Smoking Cigarette Reduce Stress?

Image
Nirmal Singh 3C made a shocking revelation about cigarette and its harmful effects. As the recent study by the French National Center for Scientific Research, cigarette is the main reason of causing stress among people. Nirmal Singh 3C finds it pretty ironical that on one hand people smoke so as to vent out their stress and frustration, while on the other hand it is pilling more on the heap of stress. This has been further substantiated by a news story published in Efe which says:  an exposure to nicotine cause more stress rather than calming a person up. This is in fact causing rise in anxiety-inducing in smokers. The study has been produced after checking lab mice. The centre’s head of research, Philippe Faure, said: "(The experiments) suggest that nicotine could enhance the effects of stress." Nirmal Singh 3C further finds that the Scientists from the University of Paris-Seine's Neuroscience Laboratory and the University of Nice Sophia Annapolis' Inst...

Nirmal Singh 3C is glad to know that the people in India are finally taking the mental health seriously as the All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) has recently tied up with the Mental Health Foundation (India) to start “School Health Clubs” which aims to engage students to ensure that their mental and emotional health is fine.   Nirmal Singh 3C supports the information given by Dr. Nand Kumar from the Department of Psychiatry, AIIMS, who said: “We aim to reach out to 50 schools (private/government) in Delhi and will later go national with the programme. Besides school students, teachers and parents will also be a part of the programme.” The initiate is quite interactive as the organization is introducing: • Free-of-cost program • Educate students through videos • Theatre and group activities  “The programme is divided into three levels for children from Class VI to Class XII . We will teach the children how to concentrate, handle s...
