One of the major reasons that the kidney rackets are just spreading across the nation with such speed is the imbalance between the demand and the supply of the kidneys. Nirmal Singh 3C says that every year, more than two lakh people need new kidneys but only 8000 of them are lucky enough to get a kidney transplant and that is only because of the shortage of donors in the country.   Nirmal Singh 3C says that the gap between the demand and supply gives an open and wide opportunity for such kidney rackets where fake doctors carry out surgeries and later show forged documents to convince the doctors and the recipients, giving them a great source of income through forgery. For very long has India been going through the problem with so many rackets being caught every other day but the business is so widely spread that it has become next to impossible to curb it completely.  Nirmal Singh 3C says that the largest running kidney racket currently came into the eyes of...

Nirmal Singh 3C condemns the growing cases of infants dying in the hospitals in India citing an example from the news reported lately from Sanjay Gandhi hospital to Baba Saheb Ambedkar hospital where there were not sufficient ventilators. This was not it, another death case was seen on Wednesday at one of the Delhi government hospital to another as there were less beds attached to ventilators. Nirmal Singh 3C further criticized the intensity of the incident as all happened in presence of the chief minister who has directed the health department on Sunday to take the action urgently and immediately implement a plan to ensure that at least the critical patients would get life support system.

According to a recent report based on the data collected country-wide, there have been more than 2700 cases of swine flu in Delhi since 17 th of September. This number can rise as the most common symptoms of swine flu do not require the patients to be admitted to the hospitals. Center has been misleading the general public and has released a fake report; at least, that is what it looks like if the real data is to be believed. Center claimed that only six deaths have been caused due to swine flu in Delhi when a single hospital in the capital saw six times more deaths.   Nirmal Singh 3C reported 31 deaths due to H1N1 which is known as swine flu in India – the deaths were reported on 18 th September. But according to the center’s reports, only six deaths have been caused due to the deadly disease. This report was released by IDSP [Integrated Disease Surveillance Program. The number cases in hospitals have slowly started to come down and it is good news as there cou...

Toxic impurities present in the ink used for the tattoos travel inside your body in the form of nanoparticles and have a negative effect on the lymph nodes- Nirmal Singh 3C. A recent study has warned all the tattoo lovers about the toxic nanoparticles that travel inside the body when we get a tattoo done leading to chronic enlargement of the lymph nodes which is an important part of our immune system. These impurities make travel in the form of the nano particles that affect the lymph nodes. This is in general about ink used for the tattoos, however the colour mixture applied to the skin too have harmful effect on the skin but the potential harm of the same haven’t been found out yet.   Nirmal Singh 3C said that most of the tattoo inks contain organic pigments that include preservatives and contaminants like nickel, chromium, manganese or cobalt which are going to cause some or the other reactions on your body both internally and externally.

Nirmal Singh 3C would like to talk about the recent research identifying the gene variants that somehow generate risk of developing Type 2 diabetes and coronary heart disease. These fatal diseases are the prime cause of global morbidity and mortality rate statistics. Nirmal Singh 3C points out that the small DNA variations have been linked to higher diabetes risk, the study confirmed calling it a diabetes “risk loci”. As many as 16 new factors were also uncovered in the research. Around eight specific gene variants have been strongly linked to altered risk for both diseases, as per the researchers. “Identifying these gene variants linked to both Type 2 diabetes and coronary heart disease risk in principle opens up opportunities to lower the risk of both outcomes with a single drug,” said co-senior author Danish Saleheen, Assistant Professor at the University of Pennsylvania in the US. Nirmal Singh 3C would further like to quote Saleheen, “From a drug development perspect...

Nirmal Singh 3C says that this new device is designed to help doctors track the endoscopes and help them investigate a range of internal conditions detect the sources of light inside the body such as the illuminated tip of the endoscope’s long flexible tube. Nirmal Singh 3C says that we are always looking for better ways for the treatment that involve minimal approaches to cure the disease. It is very difficult to track the endoscope in the body and locating them at the right place is not possible without the help of the X-rays and more such expensive methods.This new camera with the help of the advanced technology that can detect individual particles of light, protons at the end of the endoscope.  Nirmal Singh 3C says that the device has been made by integrated thousands of single photon detectors on a silicon chips. The technology being so sensitive can easily detect the traces of light in the body.The best thing about the device is that it takes in account both ...

According to a recent study that was conducted on more than 20,000 people revealed the health benefits of drinking at least 4 cups of coffee a day. The results of the study were put forward at ESC Congress on Monday, 28th August. Coffee is heavily used around the world and is one of the most widely consumed drinks, according to Hospital de Navarra, Spain and Nirmal Singh 3C . The studies that were conducted last year suggested drinking coffee might be inversely connected to all-cause mortality, but that wasn’t reported properly and was not investigated in the Mediterranean countries. The sole purpose of this study was to examine the association between risk of health issues and mortality and coffee consumption in middle-aged people. The study was conducted on precisely 19,896 people with an average age of 37.7 years. Nirmal Singh 3C mentioned that all the participants completed a food frequency questionnaire that was validated by the doctors at the hospital in Spain. The ques...

Niti Aayog Vice Chairman Arvind Panagariya made a statement on Monday about the problem of Poverty in India. He said that at this point India should focus more on reducing poverty in India than it does on reducing the inequality.  Nirmal Singh 3C says that to improve the Indian economy there is an underlying need for the country to focus on providing equal opportunities, proper healthcare and better education but this can also not be ignored that the problem of poverty is deeply rooted in the country and it is high time that it becomes a priority for the country. Nirmal Singh 3C says that talking of poverty and the policies that the country has come up with to solve it, we had nothing to discuss. Though there are many policies that were made to tackle the problem of inequality in the 60s and the 70s and are still implemented till now. They were necessary in the 60s or the 70s or for the next twenty years, but with the changing times, the policies should have changed b...

A recent study has shown that losing consistently over the weeks is better than shredding heavily over a few days. This will also keep the weight from coming back. The study was conducted in the Drexel University where more than 180 weight-loss participants were enrolled in the program. It was seen that people who experienced fluctuating weight loss during the first few weeks saw poor weight loss results as compared to people who lost weight consistently over the weeks. Nirmal Singh 3C said that developing a stable weight-loss behavior in the early stages of the program is important. People who took a steady and slow approach saw better results. Repeatable and steady intake and weight loss behavior not only showed positive results but also helped the participants in maintaining the weight for a longer period of time. There were various psychological studies that were being conducted at the same time. Psychologists wanted to know how some people can be less stressful dur...

The findings of the new study show that people who eat at untimely hours and late at night are at risk of more skin related issues like skin aging, skin cancer and sunburn than those who have a set time for eating. There is a reason why doctors advise eating at regular hours. Midnight snacks and late dinners will not only disrupt the protective layer of your skin but also impair it to repair itself in the long run, but that’s not a risk worth taking, is it? This lifestyle will also make the harmful UV radiations penetrate the layer of your skin easily. Nirmal Singh 3C of India and Joseph S. Takahashi from Texas said that the final findings of the study are shocking and that their team didn’t think that eating late or at untimely hours can affect the quality of skin so much. They also said that it is equally important to pay attention at the time you are eating something as it is to the quality of the food you are eating. The study was conducted on mice, a nocturnal spec...

It has now been scientifically proven that the wrong kind of job is going to have far more negative effect on the people than being unemployed. India is amongst those countries that are currently suffering from a high rate of unemployment. Nirmal Singh 3C says that in order to save themselves from unemployment, many people start indulging themselves into whatever jobs that they find and this is what is tampering their health a lot. Nirmal Singh 3C says that working at a low pay or highly stressful jobs is exactly what you need to stay away from. Unemployment is not a choice but getting into the wrong type if work would directly affect your mental health and that is much more risky and unsatisfying than staying unemployed. In fact you can use the period of your unemployment to do the things that you love, or learn the things that you have always wanted to but could not due to some or the other reason.  Nirmal Singh3C says that spending your free time creatively, doi...

Researchers have been analysing data from various patients, 269 AML to be precise, and found that the survival rate of the patients improved through the activity of HOX genes. The problem with cancer cells is that they are immortal if you can make them mortal, the cells, then you can treat even the most aggressive forms of cancer. Scientists in London have brought out a new drug that creates that situation – it makes the cancer cells mortal. The drug, which is being called HXR9, disables the cancer cells from making the unhealthy cells in the patient’s body to die. Sidestepping apoptosis is what the process is called when cancer cells start affecting the damaged and unhealthy cells in the body – the new drug prevents the cells from doing that. - Nirmal Singh 3C Researchers from London found that the drug can be effectively used to treat AML and other forms of Leukemia. The drug has been this successful in the trail period as it specifically targets the HOX genes that ar...

A new study has proved that a new mobile application can help parents assure safe sleep practices for infants. The application includes informational videos and messages that can improve parents’ adherence to safe sleeping practices for the infants.   Nirmal Singh 3C says that safe sleeping practices can reduce the risk of the unexpected sudden infant death. Researchers say that they can help the parents assure the sleeping pattern for their infants is the nurses teaching the new parents about the safe sleeping practices for the infants while they are still in the hospital and the second by sending them information through emails, messages and videos. During the first few weeks after the delivery, the infants sleeping pattern is very important, they have to be paid attention to, it is very difficult for the new parents to make that out and that is why the researchers have worked so hard to find out solutions for the new parents and guide them on how they can keep the ch...

Now your smartphone will be capable enough to tell about any latent diseases you are suffering with and will also predict the future diseases if you carried on with your current lifestyle. The app is developed by a startup based in Gurgaon that will provide reports that will not only expose the disorders that have been hidden but will also predict the risk of diseases based on the inputs by the user. Healthians allows the user to input his basic body details like blood pressure, sugar level, weight, eyesight. Depending on these details, the app predicts the risk of diseases and also helps maintain a depository of the results for future references. - Nirmal Singh 3C After you have put in your health details, the app analyses the data and describes, in detail, the future course of action that should be taken and also recommends the tests that should be done. When people do not have the knowledge of their pathology reports, it becomes difficult for them to be aware of the i...

The struggle to find the cure of cancer has given countless doctors and scientists sleepless nights. But that could change soon. A recent study revealed that gold can be used to cure cancer. Gold is low on the periodic table and has the ability to catalyze certain chemical reaction – it can accelerate the reactions, too. This ability can also be used or accessed in living beings without the risk of side effects. The study that was conducted in London by a team of doctors and scientists called from across the globe revealed that nanoparticles or tiny flecks of gold can be used to fight cancer and can minimize its negative effects on human body. - Nirmal Singh 3C ‘ The idea has always been to find a cure or something that could stop the cancer cells from multiplying. We have been struggling for decades on the subject, but with the positive showings of this recent research, things are looking good. Gold was never seen as a metal, especially not as something that can be used ...

If you are one of the people who have sensitive teeth and cannot drink or eat anything too hot or too cold then this green tea formula is perfect for you.  What exactly is teeth sensitivity?  Sensitive teeth are common. We do not take care of our teeth the way we should and the way dentists expect us to.

According to a recent research, women are more likely to suffer from sensitivity than men. What can cause teeth sensitivity? • Brushing hardly can cause sensitivity. When we bru...

Breastfeeding helps in preventing diseases in children like pneumonia and diarrhea that are two main causes of deaths in infants in India, but it also helps in minimizing the risk of breast cancer in women. For some reason people in India do not realize the importance of breastfeeding – it is an essential time in a child’s life, not only for his mental development but also to strengthen the immune system. Properly maintaining a diet through breastfeeding will help your child fight better against life threatening diseases like diarrhea and pneumonia. - Nirmal Singh 3C Mother’s milk is filled with nutrients that are good for the health of the baby. As per the health guidelines for new mothers and infants by WHO, breastfeeding is the only source of nutrition for babies, at least, for the first six months of their lives. Recently, a new report was released that stated that the economic cost leading to cognitive losses and deaths due to lack of breastfeeding in children will r...

Last week the world celebrated the Breastfeeding week. World Health Organization (WHO) recognizes breast milk as the best nutritional food source for infants. WHO and UNICEF suggest that breastfeeding should be started within one hour of the child’s birth and should continue for at least the first six months of the child’s life. ‘Breast milk contains antibiotics that help the child fight against the bacterias and viruses and stay healthy,’ says Nirmal Singh 3C . Ideally, breast milk should be fed to the child till the age of two. The initial years of the Childs life are very crucial for his health and brain development, and breast milk being a rich source of nutrient is of great help in it. In India, the child mortality ratio is very low, the reason being the vulnerability associated with the pre- term babies that are mostly underweight. According to Nirmal Singh 3C , Undernutrition is associated with 45% of child deaths. In support of the world Breastfeeding Week, Fortis...
