India had launched the medical missions in Kabul. The attacks in Kabul had claimed the lives of nine Indians including a doctor and the operation was a failure  due to lack of  staff and security.

Indian medical mission was treating over 3 lakhs patients in Afghanistan, mostly women and children. They were giving free treatment as well as medicines to the patients.

From Timesofindia.com:

KABUL: India is set to resume its much-acclaimed medical mission work in Afghanistan which was scaled down following the terror attack in Kabul early this year that left nine Indians dead, senior officials said here on Tuesday.

“There is no scaling back. We are in the process of resuming full-fledged operations in Afghanistan,” a senior Indian official said.

India launched the medical missions in Afghanistan in 2001-2002 and was operating five such missions in Kabul, Herat, Kandahar, Jalalabad and Mazar-e-Sharif.

Though the Mazar-e-Sharif medical mission is functioning normally, the other four missions spread around the war-torn Afghanistan were temporarily suspended, the officials said.

The operation of the Indian medical mission at Kabul was suspended temporarily as the required staff and security was not available after the February 26 coordinated suicide attacks by Taliban at two hotels in Kabul that killed nine Indians, including two Major rank Army officers.

Of the 11-member medical team, one of the six doctors was killed in the attack and others injured.

The medical missions in Kabul and Kandahar are expected to resume full-fledged operations soon, the sources said.

“We are putting in extra security measures to ensure that our operations are not hampered in future,” an Indian embassy official here said.

The Indian medical mission in Afghanistan has treated over 3 lakh patients, mostly women and children so far. The patients were given free treatment as well as medicines.

During external affairs minister S M Krishna’s talks with Afghan national security advisor Rangin Dadfar Spanta here on Monday, the issue of security for Indian nationals working in the country figured prominently.

Krishna sensitised the Afghan government on the Indian government’s concern over security for its nationals in Afghanistan and sought adequate security for them.

Spanta assured Krishna that the afghan government would take whatever steps it could to ensure that the “Indian guests” who have been doing impressive work in Afghanistan would be given adequate protection.

Nine years after US-led troops toppled their government, the Taliban have made a comeback and have inflicted heavy losses on foreign forces and has attacked foreign aid workers in the country.

The Taliban have repeatedly turned down past peace overtures from the Afghan government, saying they group will engage in peace talks only when all of the 140,000 foreign troops leave Afghanistan.

We hope that medical missions in Kabul and Kandahar will reassume soon with extra security measures to make sure that the operations are not hampered in the future.

A recently concluded study has suggested that women who are into part-time employment are likely to have healthier children those mothers who stay at home or work fulltime.

Children of part-time working mothers ate fewer unhealthy meals, according to a research led by researchers from Murdoch Children’s Research Institute, in Melbourne, Australia.

From Timesofindia.indiatimes.com:

“What we’re seeing is that mums who work part-time are better able to balance their work demands with family life and are more able to monitor their children’s eating habits and activities, which has direct health benefits for children,”  telegraph.co.uk  quoted Prof Jan Nicholson, from the Murdoch Children’s Research Institute, in Melbourne, Australia as saying.

“We need to find ways to provide full-time working parents with the ability to do that by promoting family-friendly work policies,” she added.

Nicholson said that it was still unclear why children whose mothers did not work were more likely to be obese.

It was also revealed that children of part-time working moms watched less of television and were more physically active than other children of the same age.

Half of the 55 New Zealand women at risk of hepatitis C following treatment at a Melbourne abortion clinic have been identified and health authorities are urging others to come forward.

It is expected that about 3500 women, including the 55 New Zealanders, contracted the disease from Peters.

From Tvnz.co.nz:

Healthline has taken 66 calls from New Zealand women who believe they could have contracted the disease, and transferred 54 calls to the Australian hepatitis C helpline, Ministry of Health deputy director of public health Fran McGrath says.

The calls came after media coverage and advertisements urged the 55 New Zealanders at risk of contracting the disease from Croydon Day Surgery, in Melbourne’s northeast, where anaesthetist James Peters worked between 2006 and late last year, to come forward.

The Victorian Department of Health had notified the ministry 26 of the 55 New Zealand women had been contacted and referred for testing.

McGrath says anyone treated at the clinic between January 2006 and December 2009 should ring Healthline on 0800 611 116 and get tested and treated if needed.

The Victorian police and the Medical Practitioners Board of Victoria have already initiated investigations against Peters over his patients’ infections.

Individuals suffering from Alzheimer’s disease (AD) can enhance their mood with apple juice, according to scientists.

It was revealed by the scientists that intake of two 4-oz glasses of apple juice a day for a month by AD patients can change behavioral and psychotic symptoms associated with their dementia, especially in the areas related to agitation, delusion, and anxiety.

From Timesofindia.indiatimes.com:

Alzheimer’s disease is characterized by a progressive loss of memory, decline in cognitive function, behavioral changes, and the loss in ability to do daily activities, all of which causes a significant caregiver burden and increased health care costs.

While pharmacological treatments can provide temporary reduction in AD symptoms, they’re costly and cannot prevent the ultimate decline in cognitive and behavioral function. That’s why the authors considered it important to discover any possible nutritional interventions.

“The modest, but statistically significant, impact of apple juice on the behavioral and psychological symptoms of dementia in this study adds to the body of evidence supporting the usefulness of nutritional approaches, including fruit and vegetable juices, in delaying the onset and progression of Alzheimer’s Disease, even in the face of known genetic risk factors,” said the authors.

The study appeared in American Journal of Alzheimer’s Disease and Other Dementias (AJADD).

In the world of healthcare, Clomid is an orally administered, nonsteroidal, ovulatory stimulant for anovulatory patients desiring pregnancy. This drug is also used to reduce or inhibit the formation of estrogens after use of anabolic steroids or performance enhancing drugs.

Clomid or Clomiphene citrate is chemically designated as 2-[p-(2-chloro-1,2-diphenylvinyl)phenoxy] triethylamine citrate (1:1) with a molecular formula of 598.09 g/mol at the base. It is highly effective in delaying replenishment of intracellular estrogen receptors and interacting with estrogen-receptor-containing tissues.

It is worth noting here that Clomid can facilitate spontaneous ovulatory menses in some patients and does not interfere with pituitary-thyroid or pituitary-adrenal function. Clomid is recommended for treating ovulatory dysfunction in women desiring pregnancy though impediments to attain pregnancy must be adequately treated or excluded before initiating Clomid therapy.

In the world of professional sports dominated by use of anabolic steroids and performance enhancing drugs, Clomid is used as an antiestrogen for reducing or eliminating the formation of estrogens, especially after the end of a steroid cycle. By using Clomid, steroid users can easily get rid of possible risks of gynecomastia and fluid retention.

The recommended dose of Clomid is 50 mg per day for a period of five days. In case there is absence or lack of response to cyclic Clomid dose of 50 mg, the dose can be increased but only after a qualified medical advice. Clomid is not recommended to people with an existing hypersensitivity or allergy to Clomiphene citrate or to any of its ingredients.

We hope that this detailed information on Clomid, the wonder drug for treatment of ovulatory dysfunction and estrogens, was useful to you in endless ways.
