Enjoy plus size pregnancy with Female Gynecologists in Surat
Pregnancy,or the desire to become pregnant, often inspires women to take better care of them — quitting smoking,caffeine for example,or eating more nutritiously.But now many women face an increasingly common problem: obesity,which affects 36 percent of women of childbearing age.In addition to hindering conception,obesity — defined as a body mass index above 30 — is linked to a host of difficulties during pregnancy,labor and delivery.These range from gestational diabetes,hypertension and pre-eclampsia to miscarriage,premature birth,emergency cesarean delivery and stillbirth.

The infants of obese women are more likely to have congenital defects, and they are at greater risk of dying at or soon after birth.Babies who survive are more likely to develop hypertension and obesity as adults. To be sure, most babies born to overweight and obese women are healthy. Yet a recently published analysis of 38 studiesfound that even modest increases in a woman’s pre-pregnancy weight raised the risks of fetal death, stillbirth and infant death.

Many clinics and doctors’ avoid taking obese patients for pregnancy because that may reduce their pregnancy success results. It is time for doctors to take a call and they must take more positive steps to treat obese women who are pregnant or want to become pregnant. Obesity is commonly viewed as a personal failing that can be prevented or reversed through motivation and willpower. But the facts suggest otherwise. Many obese women who manage to lose weight are usually highly motivated and use a commercial diet plan. But many obese females fail even though they are very anxious to get pregnant and have a healthy pregnancy. This is the new reality, and obstetricians have to be aware of that and know how to treat patients with weight issues.

Obese patients should not be viewed differently from other patient populations that require additional care or who have increased risks of adverse medical outcomes. Obese patients should be cared for in a nonjudgmental manner, and it is unethical for doctors to refuse care within the scope of their expertise solely because the patient is obese. Obstetricians should discuss the medical risks associated with obesity with their patients and avoid blaming the patient for her increased weight.
Any doctor who feels unable to provide effective care for an obese patient should seek a consultation or refer the woman to another fertility specialist.

Being obese during pregnancy can have a major impact on your health and your baby's health. Most women who are very overweight have a successful pregnancy but if you have a BMI over 30, extra problems for you may include:

Miscarriage and stillbirth
Gestational diabetes
High blood pressure and pre-eclampsia
Blood clots inside a blood vessel (thrombosis)
Infection (urine and post-caesarean wound infections)
Hemorrhage after the birth
Problems with breastfeeding
Having a baby with an abnormally high birth weight

You are also more likely to need:

Induction and instrumental (ventouse or forceps) delivery
Caesarean section

Obesity during pregnancy can increase the risk of complications for you and your baby. To ease your anxiety, work closely with your health care provider. He or she can help you avoid excessive weight gain, manage any medical conditions, and monitor your baby's growth and development.

Obese women who want to get pregnant must get a preconception checkup from there OB-GYN. This is a medical checkup you get before pregnancy.The doctor can help you with ways to eat healthy and exercise. This can help you lose weight before you get pregnant.

As new ARV medicines are coming in market after research,there is growing feeling that if we substitute old with new one better result is found but it is not correct as it has been found in canada that viral load of HIV may increase after starting new therapy.The researchers evaluated the risk for virologic failure in 2807 HIV-infected patients from the CANOC collaboration who initiated antiretroviral therapy from January 2005 to June 2012.CANOC is Canada's largest HIV cohort study. It focuses on evaluating the impact of antiretroviral therapy in people living with HIV across the country.Everyone in the study cohort had achieved virologic suppression, defined as a viral load below 50 copies/mL measured twice, at least 1 month apart. Virologic failure was defined as a viral load above 1000 copies/mL.During the study period, 64% of the patients never switched their antiretroviral regimen, 14% switched regimens once, and 22% switched regimens at least twice. Mean time to first switch was approximately 10 months.
Switching therapy was associated with an increased risk for subsequent virologic failure (adjusted hazard ratio, 2.70), the researchers reporrapy if previous therapy was controlling it nicely so it is advised that we should never try a new therapy or ARV MEDICINE IF CURRENT ONE IS CONTROLLING DISEASE WELL.Change of drug is only done when we get serious side effect which cannot be controlled by easy methods or drugs and we have to stop the drug .
For virologically suppressed HIV patients, a switch in antiretroviral therapy is associated with an increased risk for subsequent virologic failure, Canadian Observational Cohort (CANOC) researchers suggested.

HIV is better controlled by GOOD ARV MEDICINES IF TAKEN REGULARLARLY,NOW A DAYS GOOD LESS TOXIC MEDICINES IS AVAILABLE IF TAKEN REGULARLARLY IT INCREASES CD4 COUNT AND DECREASES VIRAL LOAD AND ULTIMATELY PERSON BECOME FREE OF INFECTION DOESNOT GET OPPURTUNISTIC INFECTIONS AND AS A RESULT LIVES A NORMAL LIFE.

In the UK, where ART is free and available in an established National Health Service, people living with HIV infection can expect to live as long as the general population if successfully treated. Our study showed that longevity depends on both restoration of CD4+ cell count to near normal levels and suppression of the virus to undetectable levels in peripheral blood.
Life expectancy of HIV-positive individuals treated with antiretroviral therapy (ART) in the UK improved by nearly 16 years between 1996 and 2008. Although some groups of HIV-positive individuals may expect to live a similar life span to that of the general population, others have reduced life expectancy due to the impact of late diagnosis and late initiation of ART. A previous study estimated life expectancies of HIV patients in the UK stratified by CD4+ cell count at ART start,but not gains in years of life in response to ART. A European study showed that successfully treated patients who attained a CD4+ cell count more than 500 cells/μl have a standardized mortality ratio (SMR) approaching .However, SMRs are more difficult to communicate to patients than life expectancies and not all patients attain a CD4+ cell count more than 500 cells/μl.The lower limit of the normal CD4+ cell count range is below 500 cells/μl, and therefore exceeding this level might be an unrealistic target for patients who had low preinfection counts. Furthermore, viral suppression is an important factor in treatment success and virological replication may have an effect on prognosis that is independent of CD4+ cell count.
We aimed to investigate the improvement in life expectancy due to CD4+ cell count restoration and viral suppression in patients on ART. We used data from the UK Collaborative HIV Cohort (UK CHIC) Study, on HIV-positive individuals in care in the UK between 2000 and 2012, to estimate life expectancy of those treated for HIV-infection at different durations of ART according to latest CD4+ cell count and viral suppression status.

Appendectomy
Appendicitis is a painful swelling of the appendix, a finger-like pouch connected to the large intestine.

It's located in the lower right-hand side of the abdomen (tummy).
The condition starts as a pain in the centre of the abdomen. It then travels to the lower right-hand side and gradually gets worse.

Appendicitis is a medical emergency that usually requires urgent surgery to remove the appendix. If left untreated, the appendix can burst and cause potentially life-threatening infections.

Bariatric Surgery (Gastric Bypass)
Weight loss surgery, also called bariatric surgery, is used as a last resort to treat people who are dangerously obese (carrying an abnormally excessive amount of body fat).
This type of surgery is available to treat people with potentially life-threatening obesity that will not respond to non-surgical treatments, such as lifestyle changes.

How to cure piles without much pain

This procedure avoids wounding the delicate perianal area thus reducing postoperative pain considerably. The leading stage of stapled hemorrhoidopexy is removal of irregularly swollen pileal tissue.
