THE AIR WE BREATHE •Molecules in the air include primarily nitrogen and oxygen as well as water, carbon dioxide, ozone, and many other compounds in trace amounts - some of these are naturally occurring while  others the result of human activity. •In addition to gases, the atmosphere contains extras such as smoke, dust, acid droplets, and pollen. •The composition of the atmosphere changes constantly and depends on the season, weather, time of day etc. WHAT CAUSES  AIR POLLUTION ? Most of the air pollution results from the burning of fossil fuels, such as coal, oil, natural gas, and petrol/ diesel to produce electricity and power our vehicles.  Carbon dioxide (CO2) is a good indicator of how much fossil fuel is burned and how much of other pollutants are emitted as a result. AIR POLLUTANTS  are of three types •Gases •Particulate Matter Bacteria and Viruses  COMMON AIR POLLUTANTS  ARE •Carbon Monoxide •Ground Level Ozone •Lead •Nitrogen Dioxide •Particulate Ma...

There has been tremendous controversy recently about the "Asymptomatic Patient" - who are they and can they spread Corona virus infection? To understand the terminology in its context, let us look at three different but closely related situations -  1.  The Mildly Symptomatic Patient - This patient of confirmed Covid-19 has mild symptoms like fever, occasional cough or mild breathlessness. They gradually recover without any specialized treatment.  2.  The Pre-Symptomatic Patient -  These patients have been recently infected, have currently no symptoms, but will gradually develop them. They can transmit infection during this incubation period. This is usually about a week from contracting the infection, but could be up to two weeks. 3.  The Asymptomatic Patient  - This is a confirmed case of Covid-19 who never develops any symptom. What makes this disease pursue a relentless and fatal path in some patients and leaves many practically untouched is still ...

A Hearing Aid is a device that amplifies sound and transmits it into your ears. PARTS OF A HEARING AID A traditional Hearing Aid will have the following components: Microphone - this picks up sound around you Amplifier - this makes the sound louder for you. Receiver - sends sound into your ear. The sound is louder TYPES OF HEARING AID  Depending upon the type and degree of  hearing loss , patient profile, ear anatomy, etc different types of hearing aids are prescribed. These commonly are: ITE - In The Ear - These are discreet and though visible they fit into the ear canal. Though preferred by patients on account of the fact they are practically invisible, the truth is that these hearing aids can only be offered to patients with a mild or moderate hearing loss. Unfortunately, by the time patients decide to use hearing aids their hearing loss is usually in the severe category and these hearing aids may not be adequate. RIC - Receiver In canal - This open fit...

During health human blood maintains an Oxygen saturation of about 94-99 %. This is also called SPO2 ( the amount of blood saturated with oxygen or also the percentage of Oxygenated hemoglobin in the blood). This level is measured by a simple device that is clipped on to your finger and which gives an accurate reading in a few seconds( a Pulse Oximeter - see picture above). Hemoglobin is the Oxygen Carrier in the blood and it helps transport Oxygen to various tissues all over the body for their functioning.  Our breathing is controlled by a very complex mechanism called the Respiratory Drive - it has many components including the involvement of Neural and Peripheral Chemoreceptors. The Central Chemoreceptors in the brain are very sensitive to Carbon Dioxide (CO2) levels.  Even a minor increase in CO2 levels brings about immediate changes in our breathing - a 5mmHg change in PaCo2 can double breathing rates in healthy persons.  Build up of excessive CO2 normally...

Once Lockdown measures are eased and people are gradually allowed to move out of their homes what should their strategy be? It is important to understand that the Virus (Covid-19) has not gone away. Until a  viable Vaccine is made available and most of us get vaccinated we will continue to be vulnerable to this threat.  In fact, as the numbers increase our chances of catching an infection increase proportionately. And since a large percentage of affected persons are asymptomatic or have only mild symptoms it is impossible for us to predict who is carrying the disease. Thermal scanners can only pick up patients who have a fever - not the pre-symptomatic or asymptomatic cases.  So the onus is upon us to prevent ourselves from this infection. How to proceed post Lockdown First and foremost step out ONLY if necessary. Avoid going out for the purpose of a fun drive or for a casual social interaction - go out only for a specific important purpose- this ...

Is there more than one strain of the Coronavirus? There has been a lot of speculation recently about two strains of the Coronavirus – namely the S and the L strain. The alphabets refer to the names of the Amino acids in the sequence of the virus- ‘S’ denoting Serine and ‘L’ denoting Leucine. The theory is that probably from nearly the beginning of the outbreak in Wuhan the two strains co-existed. The popular theory is that the ‘S’ strain was the earlier strain which was replaced by the ‘L’ strain which had a greater propensity to spread amongst humans, and then the ‘S’ strain returned once physical distancing and other precautions were adhered to. The ‘L’ strain has been blamed for many things - from higher transmission rate to higher virulence to higher mortality rates, though the evidence for this is lacking. The ‘S’ strain is thought to transmit the milder form of the disease. According to the leading experts in the world, however, the evidence for this is lacking ...

Age-Related Hearing Loss (Presbyacusis) Presbycusis or age-related hearing loss is a gradual progression in hearing deterioration which happens because of factors in the hearing apparatus. The Hearing Loss can be  Sensory  (loss of Hair Cells in the Cochlea),  Neural  (some abnormality in the Neural pathways which transmit sound from the Inner Ear to the Brain),  Strial  (due to damage in the cells of the Stria Vascularis) or sometimes,  Mixed -   a combination of the above pathologies. Some Statistics (UK) Hearing loss at age 17-30 was only 1.8 % (in the better hearing ear). this went up to 60% in the age group 71-80 years of age. The prevalence of hearing loss approximately doubles every decade of life. Causes AGE - the most obvious cause MALE SEX- more prone NOISE EXPOSURE - the higher the exposure to loud ambient noise, the greater the chance of developing a hearing loss GENETIC- if a close family member has ...

There are multiple intricate mechanisms that help us to maintain our balance. These include -  Inner Ears  - The Vestibule in the inner ear contains the Utricle, Saccule and the three Semicircular canals that help to orient our body in a three-dimensional plane as well as maintain balance during movement, acceleration and deceleration, turning on an axis etc. -  Eyes  - The Eyes coordinate with the Vestibule through the vestibule ocular reflex. -  Joints - Our Joints contain receptors called Proprioreceptors which help us to judge our position with respect to the ground beneath us. As we grow older there is a gradual enfeeblement of our senses which makes us prone to falls. Some of these are Failing eyesight Poor muscle and bone strength Loss of proprioception Presbyastatis - loss of hair cells in the Vestibular sense organ Medication - especially sedatives and tranquillizers Concomitant Neurological disorders like Parkinsonism Chronic Al...

There are three main types of  hearing loss : 1.  Conductive Deafness  - This is on account of disease/ discontinuity in the External and Middle ear - from the Pinna to the entrance to the Inner Ear. 2.  Sensorineural Deafness  - These are related to problems in the Inner Ear ( Cochlea- Sensory) or the Acoustic Nerve (Auditory Nerve - Neural).  3.  Mixed Deafness  - Arises out of a combination of both of the above.  A patient of Conductive Deafness can be treated with medicines, simple procedures (like wax removal) or surgery (like the repair of the eardrum). The hearing loss is not complex and a simple amplification will make them hear better. A patient with a Sensorineural Deafness has a more complex hearing requirement.  In the Sensory type of deafness, there is a phenomenon of Recruitment- that is, initial sounds are heard less, but as the amplitude increases the ear 'recruits' and more and more of the...
