Trigeminal Nerve Block and Radio frequency Ablation :

What is trigeminal neuralgia?
It is a disease of trigeminal nerve which gives nerve supply to the face. Trigeminal nerve has three branches- v1 which supplies the eyes and forehead, v2 which supplies the cheeks, nose and v3 which supplies the ear, inside of cheek, tongue, chin and lower lip.

What will be the patients complaints?
Orofacial pain, electric shock-like pain, on one side of the face, lasting from 2 seconds to 2 minutes.

What are all the treatment options?
Medical treatments in form of medicines usually works for initial episodes of pain, radiofrequency ablation of trigeminal ganglion, surgical treatment in form of microvascular decompression.

Which is the best mode of treatment?
Radiofrequency ablation of trigeminal ganglion is considered the best among all treatment options because it will decrease the pain immediately without undergoing an major surgeries.

How long the procedure will take?
The procedure will usually take 30 minutes and is done as day care procedure under local anaesthesia and sedation.

How is the procedure done?
The procedure is done in operation theatre under local anaesthesia and sedation, under monitoring. It is a small needle procedure in which the identification of the nerve is done using electric currents and then these currents are used to stop the transmission of pain signals from the affected nerve.

What are the post procedure recommendations?
Patients are advised to take the medicines regularly as prescribed and also to avoid chewing from the affected side for almost 3 months.

Mobile phones may be an easy way to distract children or keep them occupied. However, they come with their own set of vices. Some of the negative effects of regular use of mobile phones include:

1. Tumours
Now, we don’t mean to scare you with this information, but it is good to know that studies suggest a possible increased risk of tumours for those who use cellphones excessively. There is limited evidence that tumours are caused due to cellphone radiation, but as a parent, you may want to limit the time your kids use phones to avoid any other possible risks.

2. Affects Brain Activity

Studies suggest that the human brain is sensitive to electromagnetic radiation; however, there is a need for more studies to prove the radiation could disturb brain activity. Since, mobile phones primarily function on electromagnetic waves for all forms of communication, even internal, and the brain has its own electric impulses wherein communication is carried out in the neural network, it could possibly affect the brain. However, as mentioned earlier, more research needs to be done to prove that radiation affects brain activity.

For now, what could possibly affect the brain is the content the child is exposed to and the screen time. Therefore, it is imperative for parents to control or limit screen time and ensure children have access to only certain programs, games, etc. that are suitable for their age. Limited cellphone time won’t affect the child’s learning or focus on other important things/activities, too, such as studies, hobbies, sports, etc.

3. Academic Performance

Many children carry phones along with them to their schools. Chatting with friends or playing games during school breaks, or even in the class, is increasing day-by-day. This results in children failing to pay attention in the class, missing out on important lessons, and consequently, being clueless about studies and examinations.

4. Academic Malpractice

Smartphones not only distract children from studies but may also be their tool of malpractices to score well in exams. Using the inbuilt calculator in exams where it isn’t allowed, storing photographs or reference information to cheat in the examination, or even exchanging answers with other students over chat during the exam, have been widely observed in various schools. Such behaviour not only affects academic performance but also results in a personality issue.

6. Sleep Disruption

Children may stay up late talking to friends, playing games, or scrolling through social media, which over a period of time, causes fatigue and restlessness. It also disrupts academic life, as kids are too sleepy to concentrate on what is taught in school. Hence, it has a domino effect that seeps into all walks of their lives.

Alzheimer’s disease is a neurological condition in which the death of brain cells causes memory loss and cognitive decline.

It is the most common type of dementia, accounting for around 60–80% of cases of dementia in the United States.

Alzheimer’s disease affects around 5 million people in the U.S. Estimates suggest that this number will nearly triple by 2060.

The condition usually affects people aged 65 years and over, with only 10% of cases occurring in people younger than this.

This article provides an overview of Alzheimer’s disease, including its symptoms, causes, and possible treatment options.

What is Alzheimer’s disease?
Alzheimer’s disease is a condition that affects the brain. The symptoms are mild at first and become more severe over time. It is named after Dr. Alois Alzheimer, who first described the condition in 1906.

Common symptoms of Alzheimer’s disease include memory loss, language problems, and impulsive or unpredictable behavior.

One of the main features of the condition is the presence of plaques and tangles in the brain. Another feature is a loss of connection between the nerve cells, or neurons, in the brain.

These features mean that information cannot pass easily between different areas of the brain or between the brain and the muscles or organs.

As the symptoms worsen, it becomes harder for people to remember recent events, to reason, and to recognize people they know. Eventually, a person with Alzheimer’s disease may need full-time assistance.

According to the National Institute on Aging, Alzheimer’s disease is the sixth leading cause of death in the U.S. However, other recent estimates suggest that it may be the third leading cause of death, just behind heart disease and cancer.

Symptoms :

Alzheimer’s disease is a progressive condition, meaning that the symptoms get worse over time. Memory loss is a key feature, and this tends to be one of the first symptoms to develop.

The symptoms appear gradually, over months or years. If they develop over hours or days, a person may require medical attention, as this could indicate a stroke.

Symptoms of Alzheimer’s disease include:

Memory loss: A person may have difficulty taking in new information and remembering information. This can lead to:
repeating questions or conversations
losing objects
forgetting about events or appointments
wandering or getting lost
Cognitive deficits: A person may experience difficulty with reasoning, complex tasks, and judgment. This can lead to:
a reduced understanding of safety and risks
difficulty with money or paying bills
difficulty making decisions
difficulty completing tasks that have several stages, such as getting dressed
Problems with recognition: A person may become less able to recognize faces or objects or less able to use basic tools. These issues are not due to problems with eyesight.
Problems with spatial awareness: A person may have difficulty with their balance, trip over, or spill things more often, or they may have difficulty orienting clothing to their body when getting dressed.
Problems with speaking, reading, or writing: A person may develop difficulties with thinking of common words, or they may make more speech, spelling, or writing errors.
Personality or behavior changes: A person may experience changes in personality and behavior that include:
becoming upset, angry, or worried more often than before
a loss of interest in or motivation for activities they usually enjoy
a loss of empathy
compulsive, obsessive, or socially inappropriate behavior
In 2016, researchers published findings suggesting that a change in the person’s sense of humor might also be an early symptom of Alzheimer’s.

Stages :

Alzheimer’s disease can range from mild to severe. The scale ranges from a state of mild impairment, through to moderate impairment, before eventually reaching severe cognitive decline.

The sections below will discuss the stages of Alzheimer’s and some of the symptoms that characterize them.

Mild Alzheimer’s disease
People with mild Alzheimer’s disease develop memory problems and cognitive difficulties that may include the following:

taking longer than usual to perform daily tasks
difficulty handling money or paying the bills
wandering and getting lost
experiencing personality and behavior changes, such as getting upset or angry more easily, hiding things, or pacing
Moderate Alzheimer’s disease
In moderate Alzheimer’s disease, the parts of the brain responsible for language, senses, reasoning, and consciousness are damaged. This can lead to the following symptoms:

greater memory loss and confusion
difficulty recognizing friends or family
an inability to learn new things
difficulty performing tasks with several stages, such as getting dressed
difficulty coping with new situations
impulsive behavior
hallucinations, delusions, or paranoia
Severe Alzheimer’s disease
In severe Alzheimer’s disease, plaques and tangles are present throughout the brain, causing the brain tissue to shrink substantially. This can lead to:

an inability to communicate
dependency on others for care
being unable to leave bed all or most of the time
Early onset Alzheimer’s disease
Although age is the main risk factor for Alzheimer’s disease, this is not just a condition that affects older adults.

According to the Alzheimer’s Association, early onset Alzheimer’s disease affects around 200,000 U.S. adults under the age of 65 years. Many people with this condition are in their 40s or 50s.

In many cases, doctors do not know why younger people develop this condition. Several rare genes can cause the condition. When there is a genetic cause, it is known as familial Alzheimer’s disease.

Stroke in young, otherwise known as young stroke, is a major public health issue affecting several youngsters as well as a small number of adults who fall under the 45-year mark. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), a stroke is one of the most common neurological conditions that cause long-term disabilities coupled with a large number of emotional and socioeconomic consequences. It also causes severe distress to the patients, their families and health service providers.

Studies have shown that it is the second most common cause of death, affecting one individual every 5 seconds. A research conducted by the Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR) shows that about 10% to 15% of types of strokes occurring in young adult patients result in nearly one-fifth of them being admitted to hospitals. Although this disease is found to be less common, it proves to be devastating in terms of productive years lost and the impact it can have on a young person’s life.

युवा में स्ट्रोक, अन्यथा युवा स्ट्रोक के रूप में जाना जाता है, एक प्रमुख सार्वजनिक स्वास्थ्य मुद्दा है जो कई युवाओं को प्रभावित करता है और साथ ही साथ वयस्कों की एक छोटी संख्या है जो 45 साल के निशान के अंतर्गत आते हैं। विश्व स्वास्थ्य संगठन (डब्ल्यूएचओ) के अनुसार, एक स्ट्रोक सबसे आम न्यूरोलॉजिकल स्थितियों में से एक है जो लंबे समय तक विकलांगों को बड़ी संख्या में भावनात्मक और सामाजिक आर्थिक परिणामों के साथ जोड़ देता है। यह रोगियों, उनके परिवारों और स्वास्थ्य सेवा प्रदाताओं के लिए गंभीर संकट का कारण बनता है।

अध्ययनों से पता चला है कि यह मौत का दूसरा सबसे आम कारण है, जो हर 5 सेकंड में एक व्यक्ति को प्रभावित करता है। इंडियन काउंसिल ऑफ मेडिकल रिसर्च (ICMR) द्वारा किए गए एक शोध से पता चलता है कि युवा वयस्क रोगियों में होने वाले लगभग 10% से 15% प्रकार के स्ट्रोक का परिणाम है कि उनमें से लगभग पांचवां हिस्सा अस्पतालों में भर्ती होता है। हालाँकि यह रोग कम पाया जाता है, लेकिन यह उत्पादक के खो जाने के वर्षों में विनाशकारी साबित होता है और इसका असर एक युवा व्यक्ति के जीवन पर पड़ सकता है।
