Hunger is a primal instinct. It is amongst the first senses you feel when you are born. The satiety after feeding kicks off a lifelong cycle of longing followed by satisfaction! So basic is this need that one never stops to question it.Obesity is a pandemic in its own right. If we hope to address the overweight problem, we must analyze hunger.Ask a young child and he or she will tell Dr Qaedjohar Dhariwalhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01374602408532380663noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36525825.post-15054120641344751192019-02-11T08:45:00.001+05:302019-02-11T08:45:46.809+05:30Unicondylar Knee replacemnt - 2
As we have seen in the previous article, unicondylar knee replacement is a natural evolution of total knee replacement. It has advantages. It is done using a minimally invasive technique. There is less cutting of skin and tissue. Muscles are not cut. This results in a faster recovery and little postoperative pain and swelling. The amount of bone removal and blood loss is less.

Technology has allowed both the camera and the light source to be incorporated in a thin tube. This tube can be introduced inside the joint through a very small incision or cut. The name key-hole surgery has been coined for arthroscopy as it is minimally invasive.

Many of us have done bone density tests and are taking supplements to prevent or treat osteoporosis. But what is sarcopenia? Sarcopenia is a loss of muscle mass that occurs as we age. As we mature into adults, hormonal changes ensure optimal muscle mass by the age of 25.

We now know that obesity is a problem. The pot belly is a house of disease. Obesity and high blood pressure go hand in hand. So do obesity and diabetes and obesity and coronary heart disease (chest pain and heart attack). Losing weight is the need of the hour. Weight loss is no more a goal for mere good looks. It is essential if one wants to lead a healthy life.
Diet is the key to weight loss.

At that time people consumed lots of fat, butter and pure ghee. Sweets were eaten rarely and the sweetener used was honey. Ninety percent of the food that people ate was cooked at home. The fast food industry was nearly non existent and there were few available brands of biscuits, potato chips, cakes, mithai, chiwda, chocolates, colas or ice Dr Qaedjohar Dhariwalhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01374602408532380663noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36525825.post-90961856773190024152016-02-16T15:34:00.001+05:302016-02-16T15:44:50.115+05:30The Pot Belly - a sign of prosperity ..... think again!It's customary in India to see a man with a pot belly/paunch and say "it's a sign of prosperity". The origins of this comment are deep routed. Weight loss is associated with illness. Weight gain is associated with newly acquired wealth and hence access to richer foods. In addition a typical Indian mother is obsessed with feeding her children.

Total knee
replacement is a highly successful surgery. Patients disabled with knee pain
who can barely walk on their deformed legs undergone a dramatic transformation
after the surgery. They experience complete relief from pain and complete
correction of deformity. After surgery they don't need pain killers. They can
walk normally without a stick or walker and at a normal pace.

How often have we seen a personal crisis ruining life? A young man just managing to settle down in life suffers a heart attack! He now faces a prolonged recovery and loses his job. Medical expenses coupled with a loss of income push him into a financial crisis. A young woman juggling her job and family life suffers an accident. A slow recovery means she cannot look after her children.

Many want to lose weight and many need to. Many try but few succeed. What is the secret of their success? Is there one secret or are there many? Do doctors know all the answers? Maybe, but aren't there lots of obese doctors around?

Neck pain is common and most of us have experienced it at
some point. It brings with it the anxiety of a serious illness like spondylitis! Fortunately most cases of neck pain are not
due to spondylitis. One of the commoner and less understood causes is trapezitis!

But do you really need it? How to really know if you require a surgery? Knee Replacement is a major surgery which should not be taken lightly.

If given a choice, all of us would stay away from surgery. Our reasons for avoiding surgery are obvious. Surgeries come with a baggage of complications. Rarely a complication is severe enough to offset any potential benefit promised by the surgery. The complication itself becomes a bigger problem than the original illness.

Few disorders in Orthopedics affect a patient as dramatically as frozen shoulder does. Most often the pain starts suddenly without any warning.

A common myth among patients is that all bone related or orthopaedic problems are related to a lack of calcium. Daily, I see patients who are taking calcium supplements on their own accord. People especially women feel that they need to take calcium beyond a certain age, or taking calcium will prevent orthopaedic problems in the future.

Arthritis affects the hip joint just as it affects the knee. Hip arthritis is less common in Indians and Asians. One disease that we commonly see is avascular necrosis (AVN). In AVN the blood supply to the head of the femur (thigh bone) is cut off due to some pathology. The most common reasons for AVN are alcohol intake and steroid medication.

Time and
again we are inspired to exercise. It may be due to motivation from a family
member or a friend. It may be after seeing someone successfully lose a lot of
weight. It may be the result of a warning given by a doctor. It may be due to a
sudden surge of self motivation or enthusiasm. And when we finally start
exercising, we land up having pain and discomfort. Sometimes the pain is bad

Joints are complex moving parts of
the body made up of bones and ligaments and moved by muscles. Inside the joint,
the bones are lined by a smooth cartilage
that allows friction free movement between the bones. The joint is covered by a
capsule that has an inner lining
