Neurology is the branch of medicine concerned with the study and treatment of disorders of the nervous system. The nervous system is a complex, sophisticated system that regulates and coordinate body activities. It has two major divisions:
·         Central nervous system: the brain and the spinal cord
·         Peripheral nervous system: all other neural elements, such as eyes, ears, skin and other “sensory receptors”
A doctor who specializes in neurology is called a neurologist. The neurologist treats disorders that affect the brain, spinal cord and nerves, such as:
·         Cerebrovascular disease, such as stroke
·         Headache disorder
·         Infection of the brain and peripheral nervous system
·         Spinal cord disorder
·         Speech and language disorders etc.
Neurologist do not perform surgery. If one of their patients require surgery, they refer them to neurosurgeon.

Signs of Neurological Disorders.

The signs of neurology disorders can vary significantly, depending upon the type of disorder as well as specific area of the body that is affected. In some instances, you might experience emotional symptoms while in other cases physical symptoms may be the result.

Physical Symptoms

Physical symptoms of neurological problems may include the following:
·         Partial or complete paralysis
·         Muscle weakness
·         Partial or complete loss of sensation
·         Seizures
·         Difficulty reading and writing
·         Poor cognitive abilities
·         Unexplained pain
·         Decreased alertness
·         Spinal cord disorders, including inflammatory and autoimmune disorders
·         Headaches, such as cluster headaches and migraines
People who are having problems with their senses, such as touch, vision or smell, may also need to see a neurologist. Problems with senses are sometimes caused by nervous system disorders.

During your appointment with a neurologist, they will likely perform a physical exam and a neurological exam. A neurological exam will test muscle strength, reflexes, and coordination. Since different disorders can have similar symptoms, your neurologist may need more testing to make a diagnosis. Neurologist may recommend a variety of procedures to help diagnose or treat a condition.

These procedures may include:
1.      Lumbar puncture
2.      Tensilon test
3.      EEG
Your neurologist may help you manage your symptoms and neurological disorder alone, or with your primary care physician and other specialists.

Max Healthcare Hospitals provides with team of expert neurologists who offer the best treatment in caring environment. The group of doctors insures proper care. Although they may not perform the test, they may order it, review it, and interpret the results. 

Play it Safe when Getting a Gastric Bypass

The Gastric Bypass is a type of surgery in which the stomach is divided into a small upper pouch and a much larger lower remnant pouch and then the small intestine is rearranged to connect to both. Surgeons have developed several different ways to reconnect the intestine, thus leading to several different gastric bypass procedures.
The operation is prescribed to treat morbid obesity, type 2 diabetes, hypertension, sleep apnea, and other comorbid conditions. Bariatric surgery is the term encompassing all of the surgical treatments for morbid obesity, not just gastric bypasses, which make up only one class of such operations. There are many types of weight-loss surgery, known collectively as bariatric surgery. Gastric bypass is one of the most common types of bariatric surgery in the US. Many surgeons prefer gastric bypass surgery because it generally has fewer complications than do other weight-loss surgeries.
Still, all forms of weight-loss surgery, including gastric bypass, are major procedures that can pose serious risks and side effects. Also, you must make permanent healthy changes to your diet and get regular exercise to help ensure the long-term success of bariatric surgery.
Risks of Gastric Bypass Surgery
People who have gastric bypass surgery are at risk for:
  • Pouch stretching: The stomach gets bigger over time, stretching back to its original size.
  • Band erosion: The band closing off part of the stomach disintegrates.
  • Breakdown of staple lines: The band and staples fall apart, reversing the procedure.
  • Leakage of stomach acid into the body: This is dangerous because the acid can eat away other organs.
  • Nutritional deficiencies: Your body will be less able to get nutrients from food.
Gastric bypass surgery also may cause "dumping syndrome." When that happens, food moves too quickly from the stomach to the small intestine. Symptoms include nausea, weakness, sweating, fainting, and, occasionally, diarrhea after eating, as well as becoming extremely weak after eating sweets.
You can get gallstones when you lose weight quickly. If that happens, your doctor can give you medicine to dissolve them.
Because these surgeries change how your body handles food, you should talk with your doctor about making sure you get all the nutrients you need.
Try to get your treatment from reputed hospitals such as Max Healthcare in order to minimize the complications of your surgery.

Liposuction

Trying to eliminate pockets of excess fat that accumulate on the abdomen, flanks, thighs, and other areas of the body can be a frustrating process. Often, diet and exercise on their own are just not sufficient to the task. In such cases, many people who want to achieve a pleasant body structure turn to liposuction, which has been one of the most popular plastic surgery techniques for more than three decades now. This safe, proven procedure has allowed millions of patients to improve their figures through the precise targeting and removal of isolated deposits of fat.

Fast facts on liposuction
·         Liposuction involves sucking fat from various parts of the body
·         The operation is normally carried out under general anesthetic
·         Liposuction is not a weight-loss tool, its is purely cosmetic and its effects are subtle.
·         Liposuction is not a treatment for obesity
·         Risks include infection and scarring

Treatment Overview

Liposuction treatment removes fat from your body using suction. During liposuction, small, thin, blunt-tipped tubes are inserted through tiny cuts in the skin. Fat is suctioned out through these tubes as the doctor moves the tubes around under the skin to target specific fat deposits.
In recent years, improved techniques have made liposuction safer, easier, and less painful. These newer techniques include:
·         Tumescent liposuction
·         Ultrasound-assisted liposuction
·         Laser-assisted liposuction
Liposuction is usually done as an outpatient procedure in a properly equipped doctor’s office, ambulatory surgery center, or hospital. In general, it does not require an overnight stay unless a large volume of fat is being removed.

What to think about?

If you are trying to lose weight, liposuction is not suitable for exercise and a balanced diet. In fact, most cosmetic surgeons agree that the best candidates for liposuction are healthy people who are at or close to a healthy weight but who have stubborn fat deposits that do not respond to exercise.

Liposuction may also be used to treat certain medical conditions, including:
·         Benign fatty tumors(lipomas)
·         Abnormal enlargement of the male breasts
·         Problems with metabolism of fat in the body
·         Excessive sweating in the armpit area.

It is mainly used to improve how a person looks, rather than providing any physical health benefits. Max Health care hospitals invites you for free consultation with chosen best liposuction surgeons in India and assures you hassle free arrangements for examination, procedures, recovery, travel and stay in India.
