RALRENOCOL


                              RALRENOCOL 
  For URINARY TRACT INFECTIONS 
  and Pain of Renal Calculi
Urinary tract infections can occur in women or men, but women are at a much higher risk of developing one. Common symptoms include pain when urinating and the feeling of having to urinate often.
According to a new research study, urinary tract infections affect 53 percent of women and 14 percent of men at least once in their lives, and the side effects can often be painful enough to prevent someone from proceeding with their regular daily activity. Urinary tract infections lead to missed work and 6.8 million doctor's office visits annually.
Germs usually get into your system through the urethra, causing an infection. Factors that make infection more likely include sexual activity, lack of fluids, having diabetes and being pregnant.
According to Mayo Clinic, after menopause, a woman is at higher risk of developing a UTI because loss of estrogen causes thinning of the tissues around the urethra.
Recurrent infections
Many women suffer from frequent UTIs. Nearly 20 percent of women who have a UTI will have another, and 30 percent of those will have yet another. Of the last group, 80 percent will have recurrences.
Usually, the latest infection stems from a strain or type of bacteria that is different from the infection before it, indicating a separate infection. Even when several UTIs in a row are due to E. coli, slight differences in the bacteria indicate distinct infections.
Research funded by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) suggests that one factor behind recurrent UTIs may be the ability of bacteria to attach to cells lining the urinary tract. A recent NIH-funded study found that bacteria formed a protective film on the inner lining of the bladder in mice. If a similar process can be demonstrated in humans, the discovery may lead to new treatments to prevent recurrent UTIs. Another line of research has indicated that women who are "non-secretors" of certain blood group antigens may be more prone to recurrent UTIs because the cells lining the vagina and urethra may allow bacteria to attach more easily. Further research will show whether this association is sound and proves useful in identifying women at high risk for UTIs.


Infections in pregnancy

Pregnant women seem no more prone to UTIs than other women. However, when a UTI does occur in a pregnant woman, it is more likely to travel to the kidneys. According to some reports, about 2 to 4 percent of pregnant women develop a urinary infection. Scientists think that hormonal changes and shifts in the position of the urinary tract during pregnancy make it easier for bacteria to travel up the ureters to the kidneys. For this reason, many doctors recommend periodic testing of urine during pregnancy.
There are chances of albuminuria also during pregnancy.


New Vaccine
Scientists at the University of Michigan are working on a new vaccine that may effectively prevent urinary tract infections. The vaccine prevented infection and produced key types of immunity when tested in mice.
It works by alerting the immune system to iron receptors on the surface of bacteria that perform a critical function in allowing the infection to spread. It prepares the body to fight Escherichia coli, which is the cause of most uncomplicated urinary tract infections.
          A new study confirms that women who have incontinence during pregnancy are more likely than other women to have the problem after giving birth as well. The good news, researchers say, is that there are ways for women to reduce their risk.
In a study of more than 1,100 first-time mothers, Spanish researchers found that 39 percent reported urinary incontinence, or urine leakage, at some point during pregnancy. Another 10 percent said they had anal incontinence, which included uncontrolled passage of gas or stool.
These women were more likely than those without incontinence during pregnancy to have symptoms seven weeks after giving birth.
Overall, 16 percent of women in the study had urinary incontinence seven weeks after giving birth, while 7 percent had anal incontinence.
The risks for women who'd had those problems during pregnancy were three and six times greater, respectively, compared with women who had remained continent during pregnancy.
The study, reported in the journal Obstetrics & Gynecology, also confirmed that vaginal childbirth carries greater risks compared with cesarean section. Women who had a vaginal delivery were three times more likely than those who had a C-section to have urinary or anal incontinence after childbirth.
Of 692 women who had a vaginal delivery and responded to questionnaires seven weeks after childbirth, 139 reported symptoms of urinary incontinence and 57 reported anal incontinence.
 Management 
Dipsticks that change color when an infection is present are now available without a prescription. The strips detect nitrite, which is formed when bacteria change nitrate in the urine to nitrite. The test can detect about 90 percent of UTIs when used with the first morning urine specimen and may be useful for women who have recurrent infections.



Doctors suggest some additional steps that a woman can take on her own to avoid an infection:
  • Drink plenty of water every day.
  • Urinate when you feel the need; don't resist the urge to urinate.
  • Wipe from front to back to prevent bacteria around the anus from entering the vagina or urethra.
  • Take showers instead of tub baths.
  • Cleanse the genital area before  and after sexual intercourse.
  • Avoid using feminine hygiene sprays and scented douches, which may irritate the urethra.

RENAL STONES

Renal  stone constitute one of the commonest diseases in our country and pain due to kidney stones is known as worse than that of labour pain. In India, approximately 5 -7 million patients suffer from stone disease and at least 1/1000 of Indian population needs hospitalization due to kidney stone disease.
Types of stone
There are various types of urinary stones, but the most common ones are
  • Calcium oxalate.
  • Uric acid.
  • Struvite.
  • Cystine stones
Symptoms
Kidney stones in the kidney or ureter do not cause any symptoms until and unless they obstruct the urinary passage. The nature and the location of the pain can vary from person to person depending upon the size of the stone, the position of the stone within the urinary tract, and the damage it causes to the urinary system. "It should be however remembered that the size of the stone does not interrelate with the severity of the pain."

SOME FACTS ABOUT RENAL CALCULI
  • Approximately 80-85% of stones pass spontaneously.
  • Approximately 20% of patients require hospital admission because of unrelenting pain, inability to retain enteral fluids, proximal urinary tract infection (UTI), or inability to pass the stone.
  • A ureteral stone associated with obstruction and upper UTI is a true urologic emergency. Complications include perinephric abscess, urosepsis, and death. Immediate involvement of the urologist is essential.
  • White males are affected 3-4 times more often than African American males.
  • African Americans have a higher incidence of infected ureteral calculi than whites.
  • The male-to-female ratio is approximately 3:1.
  • Female patients have a higher incidence of infected hydronephrosis.
  • Peak onset of symptomatic nephrolithiasis is in the third and fourth decades of life.

RALTAL
For Growth and Height
More than 10 years of scientific research and experiments discovered that the major cause for most people's height deficiency is NOT only limited to genetic or hereditary. While human genes do determine a maximum potential height for everyone, over 98% of adults are 2 - 6 inches (5 - 15 cm) shorter than the maximum potential height designed by their genes due to the following three causes:
 
·         The primary cause is insufficient growth hormone production. Growth hormone, also known as somatotropin, is a protein hormone of 191 amino acids that is produced by your pituitary gland. Growth hormone is the most important factor to control your bone growth because it is the only hormone that stimulates the growth of cartilage cells at the end of your bones (which is solely responsible for the vertical growth of your bones). During your puberty (age 12 - 14), your pituitary gland is very active and produces a sufficient amount of growth hormone to stimulate rapid bone growth. So you are very likely to experience a growth spurt. However, soon after puberty most people's pituitary glands become inactive and produce very little growth hormone to stimulate any further bone growth.
·         The secondary cause is short growth period. On average, boys' growth plates should not completely close until 19-20; girls' growth plates should not completely close until 17-18. However, external distresses (school, work, relationships, etc.) can often cause premature closure of the growth plates, which in turn causes a short growth period. Many people stop growing because their growth plates are prematurely closed way before they can reach their maximum potential height.

·         The last but not least cause is any of the common human mistakes such as a poor diet, incorrect sleeping habits, lack of the right exercises, inappropriate postures, etc. In order for your body to grow to its maximum potential height, just having sufficient growth hormone and a long growth period is not enough - your body also needs all the necessary nutrients, efficient rest, the correct exercises, an appropriate posture, etc. So if you have been making any one (or more than one) of those common mistakes, you can not grow to your maximum potential height.
Thus, the joined effects of the above three causes can easily make you 2 - 6 inches (5 - 15 cm) shorter than your maximum potential height. It is just these 2 - 6 inches (5 - 15 cm) that make most of the difference between "tall" and "short”.
Gene behind height regulation identified
A gene called LIN28B strongly influences height growth from birth to adulthood in a complex and sex-specific manner, according to researchers at the University of Helsinki and the Institute for Molecular Medicine Finland (FIMM)
"Interestingly; two separate variants of the gene were found to influence growth, one with a more prominent height increasing effect in males and another one increasing height only in females", said Academy Research Fellow, Dr. Elisabeth Widen. (Courtesy – ANI)
OTHER Inhibiting factors to height-gain
            There are multiple and variable factors that prove as impedimental causes in inhibiting height, as listed below
(a)        Psychological
(b)        Dietary aspect
(c)        Society and family impact
(d)        Physical disabilities, diseases
(e)        Financial Problems
(f)        Lack of Physical activity
(g)        Burden of studies
(h)        Pollution & Environmental hazards
(i)         Heredity and genetic  factor
            In all persons whose growth is retarded, it is not necessary that all the fore mentioned factors could be found/traced commonly but in majority of cases of this type, there could definitely be one or more of such causes. Which have impacted a child or adolescent's growth prospects.
ESSENTIAL FOOD NUTRIENTS - NECESSARY TO GAIN HEIGHT
            All foods are rich in various nutrients, as no single food item is an all-contained item that can give essential nutrients to a person to meet his daily requirements thereof. In order to have balanced diet, certain vegetables, fruits, cereals, dairy products, poultry products are required to be blended or not taken in isolation, except when a particular situation demands. Following nutrients are said to be essential ingredients of a balanced diet:-
            (i)         Carbohydrates (Sugar, wheat, grains, jaggery etc.)
            (ii)        Proteins    (Fish, grains, soyabeans, cheese, etc.)
            (iii)       Fats   (Saturated and unsaturated fats as butter clarified butter, vegetable oils)                        ( iv)            Vitamins                      (A, B complex, C, D, E, K)
            (v)        Calcium                       (Milk)
            (vi)       Minerals                       (Iron, phosphorus, manganese, potassium, etc.)
            (vii)      Dietary Fibre
SPORTS Activities
Children should be encouraged to out door games like football, basketball as these games help in their physical as well as mental growth. Yoga is also helpful, but should be learnt from an experienced yoga teacher.
