India’s healthcare system is broken, and nowhere is this more apparent than the way the system neglects its most marginalised. The Swaddle brings you the healthcare story India forgot – the story of the neglected tropical diseases.

Clostridioides difficile (also known as Clostridium difficile or C. diff) is an infection caused by a type
of bacteria that make substances (toxins) that harm the gut. C. diff most often occurs in people who are on antibiotics or have been taking them recently. It is also common in patients who have been in a hospital or long-term care facility for some time. People ages 65 and older are at increased risk, as well.

We might be close to eliminating a second disease: polio.

Only one human disease in history has been fully stamped out; smallpox, with the World Health Organization declaring it eradicated way back in 1980.

But polio could be next.

Yes, the disease that brings up imagery of wheelchairs and iron lungs might soon be on its way out, but we’re not there quite yet.

Polio, also known as poliomyelitis, is an infectious disease caused by the aptly named poliovirus, which comes in three strains, and is spread mostly by consuming contaminated water.

Polio can be passed through the air with oral fluids, like from a cough or a sneeze, but the cycle today usually begins with fecal oral transmission, mostly in areas with poor sanitation.

Those infected with the poliovirus can experience no symptoms, but people can experience fatigue, fever, muscle weakness, loss of muscle, headaches, nausea, and more. Polio’s most severe form can lead to paralysis, weakened lungs, and, sometimes, death.

On this episode of SICK, we talk with Jay Wenger, Director of Polio at the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, about the infectious disease, how it spreads, its symptoms, and the ongoing eradication efforts.

Dangers of smoking | Health | Biology | FuseSchool

Did you know that smokers are twice as likely to have a heart attack? And that one in two smokers will die from a smoking-related disease.

In fact all of these things are negatively affected by smoking… pretty much every organ in your body!

Circulation; Heart; Lungs; Mouth and throat; Stomach; Brain; Skin; Reproduction and fertility; Bones

We all know that smoking is bad, but do you know why?

That’s what we’re going to discover in this video.

When you pass someone smoking, does it make you cough or your chest feel tight?

Perhaps you thought it was the smell? It’s actually because you’re inhaling dangerous substances into your body.

Nicotine is a toxin that stimulates your body to produce adrenaline. This increases your heart rate and raises your blood pressure, thus making your heart work harder. It is also addictive, which is why it’s very difficult for smokers to quit.

Tar contains over a thousand chemicals. It forms a tacky brown or yellow residue – which is why some smokers have stained teeth. And if you could see them – stained lungs too.

Some of the chemicals in tar are carcinogens – so they cause cancer, making lung, mouth and throat cancers more common in smokers.

The last culprit you need to know about is Carbon Monoxide. It is an odourless, colourless and extremely poisonous gas. The carbon monoxide permanently binds to haemoglobin in your blood, blocking oxygen from binding.

So oxygen can’t be transported around the body and used for respiration, causing shortness of breath and fatigue. Your heart once more has to beat even faster to supply the body with the oxygen it needs.

Let’s now look at some diseases caused by smoking…

Emphysema is when the tiny structures in your lungs called alveoli, break down.

As alveoli are responsible for gas exchange, this is not good news. The inhaled smoke causes the walls of the alveoli to weaken and decrease in surface area, making gas exchange less efficient. Unsurprisingly, breathing becomes much harder and smokers are much more at risk of coughs and chest infections.

Smoking also causes the cilia in the lungs to become irritated, and produce excess mucus.

So that’s the lungs. And we saw earlier that nicotine and carbon monoxide make the heart work much harder.

Now the blood vessels.

Plaque building up in the coronary arteries, so the ones that transport oxygen rich blood around the heart, can over time cause a blood clot to form, which cuts off some of the heart muscle and causes it to die. This is the most common cause of heart attacks.

So we’ve seen that smoking increases your risk of heart, lung, kidney disease, strokes and cancers.

Smoking can also make your bones more brittle and so more likely to break. And also it can greatly reduce fertility in both men and women.

So, now you know some of the harmful effects smoking has on your body and why we’re told not to do it. But the good news… once you stop smoking, your health improves and your body will begin to recover. It’s never too late to give up!

Electric scooters are causing mayhem on the streets of America’s cities. They’ve been seen running red lights and flying down streets as fast as 50 miles per hour, and people are getting hurt. People riding scooters have slammed into pedestrians in crosswalks, at bus stops, and even on sidewalks. Earlier this month, actress Lisa Banes was killed in New York City after she was struck by a scooter rider in a hit-and-run. Inside Edition took to the streets to see how much havoc scooters cause. #InsideEdition

Comment down below how many did you get.

I made some pictogram diseases puzzles.
You can guess the disease within the time limit or pause the video.

These puzzles are made by me, I spent a lot of my time building
these puzzles, chopping words and thinking what can be the equivalent picture or emoji for it.

Some of the emoji are made by me.

Vitamin E is considered as a very good antioxidant at all levels and to reach the skin, vitamin E needs to be taken orally. Topical vitamin E which is available in creams and lotions is not found to be too stable to be effective. As regards with the pimples, there is no direct studies depicting the usefulness of vitamin E to control the pimples but indirectly yes, because vitamin E is an antioxidant, what happens in the case of pimples, the oil glands are very active and they produce excess of oils. So if vitamin E supplements are given, they prevent the rancidity of the oils and the inflammation in the acne. Pimples are also known to occur because of a lot of stress factors. Vitamin E would reduce all these stress factors because of its antioxidative capacity and acts as an adjuvant therapy. So per se only with vitamin E there may not be significant improvement in the pimples but the oral formulations of these capsules can be definitely used as an adjuvant.
