Science and technology have helped us improve the quality of our lives and even extend our lives beyond expectations. New and innovative technologies are gaining popularity throughout the healthcare and medical field. Regenerative treatment options such as stem cell therapy and PRP treatment are now widely available.
Sports and injuries usually go hand in hand. Most sports injuries are caused by overuse, direct impact, or the application of force. These injuries affect the bones, joints, cartilage, tendons, ligaments, and other soft tissues. The common sports injuries include fractures, joint dislocation, ankle sprain, ligament tear, tendinitis, etc. Thus, while playing any sports, it is best to use protective equipment to avoid or reduce injuries.
Degeneration of bones may be caused due to some common occurrences, such as trauma, injury, shock, or age-related wear & tear. The patient may experience pain, stiffness, & even reduced mobility, which may hamper the individual's routine and physical activities. The condition may also progress to bone death within a few months. However, patients can get relief from this devastating condition with natural, effective, and minimally invasive bone cell therapy.
The early stages of Avascular Necrosis usually do not have any symptoms. However, it gets painful as the disease gets worse. It even starts hurting when some pressure is applied to the affected bone. And then pain remains constant. If the bone & surrounding joint collapse, the pain gets severe and prevents the patient from using the joints. The progression of the disease from the initial stage to the last can take several months to over a year.
The tube that carries urine from the bladder to the outside of the body is called the urethra. Scarring & narrowing of this tube is known as urethral stricture. The female urethra (3 to 4 cm) is much shorter than males (15 to 20 cm). A urethral stricture restricts the urine flow and can lead to several medical conditions, such as urinary tract infection or inflammation. Swelling, injury, cancer, long-term use of catheters, and surgery are the major causes of urethral stricture.
While inflammation & tenderness in joints are the signs of arthritis condition; the most common form of arthritis is Osteoarthritis, which is rapidly affecting several people worldwide. Broadly, in this condition, the joints are damaged, usually due to overtime cartilage degeneration or wear & tear. Regeneration in osteoarthritis is an effective treatment to get relief from this joint issue. Let’s understand these concepts in detail.
Covid-19 has left long trailing effects such as headache, muscle pain, chest pain, concentration and memory problems, sleep disorders, joint pain, mucormycosis, chronic fatigue, new-onset diabetes, and blood clots.1 Of late, the rapidly rising one is Osteonecrosis or Avascular Necrosis (AVN).
Childhood mostly consists of actively running and playing lots of outdoor games. Owing to our inborn passion for sports, some of us pursue sports as a career or simply a hobby. Recently, various sports such as cricket, tennis, soccer, swimming, gymnastics, etc. have proven to be a rewarding career option.
The second wave of the COVID-19 pandemic had devastating effects such as a rapid surge in cases, reduced supply of essential treatments, increased death rate, and post-covid complications such as mucormycosis, new-onset diabetes, blood clots, chronic fatigue, etc. However, lately there a new add-on to covid-related complications. Several doctors across the country have reported a sudden rise in Avascular Necrosis cases in covid-recovered patients.
In very direct terms, Avascular Necrosis (AVN), also known as osteonecrosis, is the condition which causes bone death. A ball and socket joint in the hip area, which carries the highest weight in our body & gets maximum blood supply is impacted due to the disruption in blood supply & may result in hypoxia (lack of oxygen) in the bone tissue (similar to a heart attack) causing bone death in the hip joint. This death of the bone is termed as necrosis.
The constriction of urethra is usually due to tissue inflammation or a presence of scar tissue. There can be many factors that result in scar tissue. Young boys who have gone through hypospadias surgery (a method to correct an underdeveloped urethra) and men who have penile implants have a higher chance of developing urethral stricture.
The tube that carries urine out of the body is known as urethra. For men, this thin tube is responsible for ejaculation. Narrowing of this urethral tube is known as Urethral Stricture Disease. The narrowing can happen due to scars, injury or infection that blocks or slows the flow of urine in this tube.
