Blood pressure, a basic yet critical measurement, plays a central role in diagnosing and managing cardiovascular health. But experts are raising alarms over how frequently this vital sign is measured incorrectly—often due to avoidable mistakes that most patients and even healthcare providers overlook. A slight error in technique can lead to readings that are 10 to 20 points off the mark. In clinical terms, that’s enough to label a healthy patient hypertensive or, worse, miss signs of an imminent cardiovascular risk. Mistakes That Inflate the Numbers One of the most common—and least discussed—mistakes is using the wrong cuff size. A…
One of the earliest indicators of kidney dysfunction is persistent fatigue. As kidney function declines, the body produces less erythropoietin—a hormone essential for red blood cell production. This results in anemia, depriving muscles and organs of adequate oxygen, and leaving individuals feeling constantly exhausted, even after sufficient rest or sleep. This form of tiredness is often misattributed to lifestyle or aging, delaying necessary diagnosis and intervention. Mental Fog and Difficulty Concentrating Another under-recognized symptom is impaired mental clarity. When kidneys are unable to filter waste from the bloodstream effectively, toxins can accumulate and affect brain function. This may present as…
अक्सर यह माना जाता है कि तीखा भोजन स्वाद के लिए खाया जाता है, न कि सेहत के लिए। लेकिन अब वैज्ञानिक शोध इस धारणा को चुनौती दे रहे हैं। मिर्च में मौजूद तीखापन देने वाला यौगिक कैप्सेइसिन (Capsaicin) न केवल आपके स्वाद कलिकाओं को जगाता है, बल्कि यह वजन नियंत्रण, हृदय स्वास्थ्य और लंबे जीवन के लिए भी लाभकारी सिद्ध हो सकता है। मेटाबोलिज़्म को बढ़ावा और भूख पर नियंत्रण अनुसंधान के अनुसार, कैप्सेइसिन शरीर की मेटाबोलिक दर को लगभग 5% तक बढ़ा सकता है, जिससे कैलोरी जलने की गति बढ़ती है। एक अध्ययन में यह भी पाया गया…
What doctors first diagnosed as heatstroke turned out to be something far more serious: a brain tumor. Moli Morgan, a 22-year-old woman from Wales, suffered two seizures while on vacation in Turkey—episodes that were dismissed as dehydration and exposure to heat. But a medical review upon her return to the United Kingdom uncovered a far more alarming diagnosis: a 4-centimeter glioma, a type of malignant brain tumor. A Medical Emergency Misread The seizures occurred in rapid succession while Morgan was vacationing in Antalya. She had no prior history of seizures and had only experienced occasional mild migraines. Resort medical staff…
The Indian government on Tuesday issued a firm clarification denying claims that traditional snacks like samosas, jalebis, and laddoos would soon carry mandatory health warnings akin to those on cigarette packets. The Press Information Bureau (PIB) labeled the reports as “fake” and “misleading,” following widespread confusion and backlash on social media and in news coverage. Government’s Statement Counters Viral Panic The confusion stemmed from earlier reporting that appeared to suggest a new health ministry advisory would require street food and sweet shop vendors to warn customers about high oil and sugar content. In response, the PIB emphasized that the advisory…
A viral storm of internet speculation has transformed a line of collectible dolls into the subject of mass unease. Labubu, a furry, mischievous-looking toy designed by Hong Kong-based artist Kasing Lung and marketed by the Chinese company Pop Mart, is now at the center of bizarre claims linking it to Pazuzu, the Mesopotamian demon of winds and pestilence. From TikTok montages to Instagram reels and Reddit threads, social media has given rise to a modern-day folk panic, asserting—without evidence—that the popular doll may be “possessed” or cursed. Some posts go as far as suggesting behavioral changes in children and paranormal…
