Loosing energy: Make sure you get it back!

Isn’t it quite common nowadays that people are complaining about feeling tired and low in energy? Especially old ones!! Is your Mom, sleeps off as soon as the TV blares or just nods off sitting at the chair in daytime? Are they feeling tired often? If yes, it may be because they generally start losing energy as they hit middle age. However, despite normal fatigue which is known as natural progression of aging, it could as well be a sign of a medical problem. As according to the researchers, it has been reported that napping over two hours a day, feeling tired and being functionally de-active can be associated with health problems like sleep disorders, cardiovascular disease, arthritis  and other common afflicts.

Before taking it as a serious issue, let’s focus on the things which are responsible for keeping your energy low and how that energy can be regained. Things that cause tiredness and fatigue are lack of sleep, lack of multivitamins, obesity and depression. If you are not sleeping properly it can increase the risk of other diseases. Your body needs rest to work the next day, so sleep well and get rid of tiredness. Fatigue also results due to lack of vitamins in your body; consult your doctor to avail those vitamins to fill the energy tank.

Many times, you might have experienced that you are staying longer in your bed without doing anything. Now, that may be a couch potato syndrome, leading you to be more stressed and tired.

Exercise and doing some physical activity will boost your energy levels to great extent.  For that matter, Yoga is also considered as a great treatment of almost all the diseases. Doing daily yoga exercises not only improves energy level but also boosts up confidence and make you feel fresh. Along with being active, diet is equally important to switch your body’s energy. Make sure, you are drinking enough amount of water in a day; as dehydration zaps energy and impairs physical performance.

If you have tried almost everything to feel younger and active and nothing is actually helping you then to keep you a little younger than your age; in terms of strength, stamina and fitness, let me introduce you with the advanced Stem Cell Treatment for Anti-Aging.

One of the most prominent uses of Medical science is implementation of Autologous use of adult stem cells in Anti Aging Treatments.

We have the most potent stem cell reservoirs in our body such as Fat that can be utilized in order to regenerate aging cells. Their value in terms of Anti Aging Treatment Procedures, centers around their ability to self renew and to generate every type of cells that our body needs in a crisis. Scientists have proved that, the Stem cell Technology for Anti Aging Treatments could have dramatic influence on our ability to live longer, replace some of our failing parts and to improve overall physical and mental condition such as stamina, vigor, glow, concentration. The effect of stem cells technology can be enhanced, when stimulated with patient's own platelet rich plasma. PRP is a rich source of platelet, which can secrete large number of growth factors to reduce inflammation and accelerate the process of healing.

Thus in order to fulfill the inner deep desire of almost everyone to look younger, Advancells has developed following amazing natural products “Look Fit”, “Feel Fit” & "Hair Loss Treatment"

How to identify early signs of Autism in Toddlers?

As a parent, it would be very heartbreaking to suddenly realize that your chirpy baby has a medical problem; and knowing it to be incurable will be all the more disheartening. Although, autism was mainly linked with genetic manipulation of an individual, recent research has revealed the fact that some of the environmental triggers may also have key effects in the development of Autism. As a matter of fact, it is well understood by the pattern so far that early detection of autism can reduce or slow down the progressive damage, helping your baby to be more independent.

Autism is categorized as a developmental disorder and is mainly affecting social as well as emotional well being of a child. The signs, symptoms as well as severity of their exhibition may be child specific, depending upon the extent of damage; although, as a responsible parent, it is very imperative to understand normal developmental pattern of a baby and if at any point of time, you feel your child is not reaching the milestone, you should consult your medical practitioner for early detection of any abnormality.

There are certain red flags, which have been outlined and should be taken as an indication that your child may be at risk of developing an autism spectrum disorder. If any of the following symptoms have been exhibited by your child, you should get an immediate help from your practitioner.

·         No expression of joy and/or smile on your baby’s face by six months or thereafter.

·         No sharing of sound, smiles or other facial expression at the end of nine months.

·         No sharing of gestures such as pointing, showing or reaching towards any object, even after one year of age.

·         No babbling or saying meaningful words by the end of two years.

·         Any loss of skills such as babbling, social response, no response by the age of 2 years.

·         No personal interest in interaction, playing, or any involvement in any activity till the age of 2 years.

·         No emotional response towards cuddling and/or no eye contact. It has been noted that an autism child will behave in a different way.

As a parent, you understand your child well in order to locate the earliest red alerts of autism, and it is very important to pinpoint the difference, which is not normal. For that matter, it is always advisable to:

·         Monitor child’s developmental milestone: - Autism being a developmental disorder, indications like abstinence from social, emotional as well as physical involvement in any activity should never be underestimated.

·         Action against the concern: - Every child can react in a different way, thus when it is a matter of healthy development, the range of normal would be wider. Although, if there is a concern, you should not delay in consulting a doctor.

·         Always trust your instinct: - As a parent, you should always trust your instinct first. If you really feel that something is wrong or not normal with your child’s development, kindly consult your practitioner first.

With recent medical development, multiple treatment regimens can be attempted to stop the progression of damage, such as stem cells therapy. With its application in treating variety of degenerative disorders, stem cells technology has opened new avenues in the cure for autistic children. Besides having potential to stimulate normal functioning of brain cells, these autologous stem cells also have the functional capacity to trigger in viva regeneration of resident stem cells, create a potential microenvironment to secrete growth factors and immunoglobulins, thus promoting symptomatic improvement and stopping the disease progression.

Health Risks of passive or Secondhand Smoking.

Secondhand smoking or passive smoking is when non-smokers are involuntary exposed to smoke. Non-smokers who indirectly as breathe in second hand smoke take in nicotine and toxic chemicals, as the same way smokers do, although not to the same extent. Thus, regular exposure to unwanted smoke may lead to serious lung damage hampering its structural and functional integrity. This in turn may give rise to a serious concern as to why one should risk his/her health without even indulging into smoking. As a matter of fact, as such no known level has been specified so far for passive smoking and hence the health risks associated with passive smoking is generally less well known as compared to those of direct smoking.

What are these health risks?

It makes you more likely to get lung cancer and many other types of cancers. Smoke also makes your blood stickier and raises your bad LDL cholesterol that damages the lining of your blood vessels. This damage can make you more susceptible to heart attack or stroke. Second hand smoking is also a major cause of concern for chronic COPD. Additionally, risk factors of COPD in non-smokers may be associated with individualized genetic makeup, long-standing asthma, outdoor air pollution (from environment and other sources), environmental smoke exposure (ETS), biomass smoke, occupational exposure, diet, recurrent respiratory infection in early childhood, tuberculosis and so on. Smoking related issues might occur at your workplace or at your home, which is because of any active smoker around you. Any family member can develop health problems related to passive smoking. Making your home smoke free is equally important for non-smokers, as children’s growing bodies are especially sensitive to the toxins released through smoking.

Furthermore, hookah bars are emerging as important destinations for smoke free air efforts in many communities. It has been evident that 50% of smokers develop COPD and more than 20% of COPD-associated morbidity is attributed to passive smoking.

Many states in India have implemented smoke free workplace laws to protect employees and customers to secondhand smoke. However, exceptions in these laws have allowed indoor tobacco smoking hookah lounges to increase rapidly in recent years. As a result indoor air quality of hookah lounges is quite unhealthy and can lead to potential health risk for patrons and employees.

Besides the precautionary measures government is anticipating against passive smoking, there are few tips to minimize the risk of COPD and respiratory related problems. Whether you are a nonsmoker with COPD symptoms, there are steps you can take to manage symptoms and slow down the progression.

Take your medications. If you have COPD, your doctor likely will put you on a course of medication to keep flares under control and help you breathe your best. It’s also important to get regular flu shots and other needed immunizations to prevent respiratory infections.

Exercise as you can. This can be difficult for people with COPD symptoms to exercise, but it also makes a big difference. Sometimes, the best way to get started is to take part in a pulmonary rehabilitation program prescribed by your doctor.

Maintain a healthy weight. By eating nutritious diet and maintaining a healthy weight, you help your lungs to breathe easily by carrying fewer pounds on your body.

Avoid irritants.  With COPD, you may be especially susceptible to airborne pollutants. You can use air filters or inhalers to improve the air quality that is being exhaled.

Although diagnosis with COPD can be very shocking; but with few alternative, effective treatment regimen, such as stem cell therapy, now it’s possible to manage your disease with reduced progression.

Healing Sports Injury with Stem Cell therapy

Sports injuries are quite common issue in professional sports or basic sports because, indulgence into strenuous activities, increase usual wear and tear of the tissues and may require immediate medical attention. As our joints and hinges are backed by the muscles, ligaments, tendons and cartilages to provide them the support, strength and ease of locomotion that are highly in demand in a life of an athlete or sports person. However, overuse, sudden trauma or injuries can put them into a lifetime dependency and end of their career.

Sports injury may vary exactly as different sports genres are. Some of the injuries can be so devastating that they stay for long and can make a person permanently disable. While some injuries can be managed with effective physiotherapy along with some effective scientific advancement such as “stem cells therapy”. Stem cells are the repairing cells of damaged tissues, which are operative by harnessing the healing power of body. Apparently, Stem Cells Therapy can be considered as an effective, alternative therapy. Stem cells isolation can be done effectively and quickly from different mature adult sources, such as bone marrow or adipose tissue (fat cells), and injecting it into the damaged body part to promote healing.

In case of sports injuries, these stem cells are identifying to be displaying different types of differentiation capacity, such as bone cells, cartilaginous cells, etc. It has been as well studies so far that autologous platelet rich plasma, if utilized to stimulated patients own stem cells, the secreted growth factors can redirect these stem cells at the site of injury and force them to differentiate into desired cells types.

Some of the injuries that can be greatly helped by stem cells are:

•    Achilles Tendon Injury: - The Achilles tendons, is one of the longest tendons in our body, extending from the calf muscles to the bones of heels. It allows us to extend our feet and point our toes to the floor. The injury is associated with the swollen or broken tendon.

•    Knee Ligament Injuries: - Anterior cruciate ligament, Posterior Crucial Ligament, lateral ligament and medial ligaments are the four very crucial ligaments of the skin and can be injured due to sudden twisting, jumping, landing etc. The injury can be very painful with permanently debilitating changes.

•    Ankle Injuries: - They can be sprains, strains or fractures associated with tearing or breakage of bone, tendons or ligaments.

•    Concussions:- These are the most common traumatic brain injuries, associated with direct low or bump to the head. The brain is made up of soft tissue, cushioned by spinal fluid and encased in the protective shell of the skull. When a sudden concussion is sustained, the impact can jolt our brain; leading to bruising, blood vessel damage, nerves injuries or damage.

•    Dislocation: - This is a kind of injury, wherein the fall or blow causes the bone to pop out of its socket, especially in the case of joints. In severe cases, the tissue and nerves around get damaged leading to the loss of mobility.

•    Golfer's Elbow: - Golfer's elbow cause pain and inflammation in the tendons that connect the forearm to the elbow.

•    Groin Pull: - They are common in people who require a lot of running and jumping. It results in a tendon loss or damage, due to too much pressure on the muscles in an area of the groin or thighs.

•    Rotator Cuff Tear: - It is one of the darkest fears of the pitchers, tennis players. The rotator cuff is the group of four tendons and muscles that converge around the shoulder joints and the upper arm bone. Too much stress can cause tears in the tendons or the bones.

•    Tennis Elbow: - Swelling or inflammation of the tendons, causing pain in the elbow or arm.

.Although minor injuries or skin lesions can be treated with simple remedies; severe cases need only surgical reconstruction of the affected area due to its poor healing. These options can encounter serious complications during the procedure and hence are in strong demand of alternative therapies. Advancells, situated at Noida is excited by the prodigious prospects of stem cells in treating various diseases; hence they are constantly updating our knowledge and technology to suit unique specifications of each patient. They are offering safe treatment pattern, by offering "Autologous stem cells from your own Bone Marrow/Adipose Tissue"

Age related eye diseases and available treatments

Age related eye diseases and available treatments

It’s quite often that we see elderly people struggling with small-small things that we at this age easily do. This was quite heartbreaking for me when I saw a 50 years old lady having problem in identifying a 100rs note to buy something for her. It is said that “eyes are window to the soul” but eyesight is actually window to the world. With increasing number of Age Eye Diseases go hand in hand. Over age 40, an estimated 25 million people have cataracts and more than 2.5 million have glaucoma; whereas more than 2 million people over age 50, are struggling with macular degeneration.

During the process of aging, our eyes also exhibit ageing in terms of their functional capacity, after we reach our 60s and beyond. Whereas, some degenerative eye related problems are considered severe, and if ignored can impact major issues in your personal as well as social life.

Some eye changes are normal and can be managed with proper care, such as presbyopia, floaters, epiphora, and eyelid problems, etc.

·         Presbyopia is when you start losing the ability to see close objects or small print. This problem comes along with headaches or strained and tired eyes. Get your eyes checked, and emphasize to go on with glasses, while reading; which can fix this problem to a great extent.

·         Floaters are those tiny specks which seem to float across your vision. They can be a normal part of aging, but sometimes they can lead to some of the serious eye problems such as retinal detachment. It is advised to see your doctor if problem persist for a longer period of time.

·         Epiphora is a condition in which there is an overflow of tears onto the face due to light, wind, or temperature changes. To treat this problem wear sunglasses to protect eyes from sunlight but if it continues, it may be a sign of a more serious eye problem.

Thus, problems like retinitis pigmentosa, glaucoma, macular degeneration and diabetic retinopathy have more potential for affecting quality of life as we grow older, and hence should be treated immediately.

·         Cataracts are cloudy areas in the eye’s lens causing blurred or hazy vision. While some cataracts stay small, don’t affect your eyesight much; but others become larger and reduce vision.

·         Corneal diseases can cause redness, watery eyes, pain, or a halo effects of the vision. Infection and injury are some of the things that can hurt the cornea.

·         Dry eye happens when tear glands don’t work well. You may feel itching, burning, or other discomfort. Dry eye is more common as people get older, especially for women.

·         Glaucoma often comes from too much fluid pressure inside the eye. If not treated, it can lead to visual loss and blindness. People with glaucoma often have no early symptoms or pain. You can protect yourself by having regular dilated eye exams.

·         Age-related macular degeneration (AMD). AMD can harm the sharp vision needed to see objects clearly and to do common things like driving and reading.

·         Diabetic retinopathy develops slowly and often has no early warning signs. If you have diabetes, be sure to have a dilated eye exam at least once a year. Keeping your blood sugar under control can prevent diabetic retinopathy or slow its progress.

·         Retinal detachment When the retina separates from the back of the eye, it’s called retinal detachment. If you see new floaters or light flashes, or if it seems like a curtain has been pulled over your eye, go to your eye care specialist right away as it’s a medical emergency.

Hence, Regular eye exams are your best protection. If your eye care professional finds a problem early, there are often things you can do to safeguard your eyesight.  A healthy diet and wise lifestyle choice can protect you from almost all the disorders.

There are treatments and surgeries to help you get the vision but the traditional treatment approach is not successful in reversing the damage to the tissue; although with the great progress in the field of stem cells, it is now possible to bring back the normal vision using easy and natural process.

At Advancells Patients suffering from different eye related ailments are being treated by implanting stem cells through retro bulbar or other effective modes to obtain maximum recovery.
