Will Smith smacking comedian Chris Rock at the Oscars 2022 has left people around the world in utter shock. What initially seemed like a planned skit was later confirmed by the officials as something unscripted. The heated confrontation between the two celebrities was a reaction to a joke made at the expense of Jada Pinkett Smith, wife of Will Smith. Referring to her as "GI Jane", Rock made an unsavoury joke about Jada's baldness, to which her husband, Will reacted with a slap onstage. While walking back to his seat, the actor said, “Keep my wife’s name out your f**king mouth.” To which Rock responded by saying, "Wow, dude. Yeah it was a GI Jane joke,” which further prompted Smith to repeat, “Keep my wife’s name out your f**king mouth.” Soon after, Will Smith was awarded the Best Actor in a leading role for his performance in “King Richard”, where he says, “I’m being called on in my life to love people and to protect people and to be a river to my people. I know to do what we do, you got to be able to take abuse. You got to be able to have people talk crazy about you. In this business you got to be able to have people disrespecting you. And you got to smile and you got to pretend like that’s okay.” The shocking instance comes after the actress, singer and talk show host Jada Pinkett Smith had recently opened up about her struggles with hair loss due to a condition called alopecia areata, an auto immune disorder. She posted a video of her hair loss in December last year, under which she wrote, "Mama’s gonna have to take it down to the scalp so nobody thinks she got brain surgery or something😜 Me and this alopecia are going to be friends … period!😆

Hemorrhagic stroke Hemorrhagic stroke occurs when a blood vessel in the brain leaks or ruptures. Brain hemorrhages can result from many conditions that affect the blood vessels. Factors related to hemorrhagic stroke include: Uncontrolled high blood pressure Overtreatment with blood thinners (anticoagulants) Bulges at weak spots in your blood vessel walls (aneurysms) Trauma (such as a car accident) Protein deposits in blood vessel walls that lead to weakness in the vessel wall (cerebral amyloid angiopathy) Ischemic stroke leading to hemorrhage A less common cause of bleeding in the brain is the rupture of an irregular tangle of thin-walled blood vessels (arteriovenous malformation). Transient ischemic attack (TIA) A transient ischemic attack (TIA) — sometimes known as a ministroke — is a temporary period of symptoms similar to those in a stroke. A TIA doesn't cause permanent damage. A TIA is caused by a temporary decrease in blood supply to part of the brain, which may last as little as five minutes. Like an ischemic stroke, a TIA occurs when a clot or debris reduces or blocks blood flow to part of the nervous system. Seek emergency care even if you think you've had a TIA because your symptoms got better. It's not possible to tell if you're having a stroke or TIA based only on the symptoms. If you've had a TIA, it means you may have a partially blocked or narrowed artery leading to the brain. Having a TIA increases your risk of having a full-blown stroke later. Risk factors Many factors can increase the risk of stroke. Potentially treatable stroke risk factors include: Lifestyle risk factors Being overweight or obese Physical inactivity Heavy or binge drinking Use of illegal drugs such as cocaine and methamphetamine

Lifestyle and home remedies Heart disease can be improved — or even prevented — by making certain lifestyle changes. The following changes can help anyone who wants to improve heart health: Stop smoking. Smoking is a major risk factor for heart disease, especially atherosclerosis. Quitting is the best way to reduce your risk of heart disease and its complications. Control your blood pressure. Ask your doctor for a blood pressure measurement at least every two years. He or she may recommend more frequent measurements if your blood pressure is higher than normal or you have a history of heart disease. Optimal blood pressure is less than 120 systolic and 80 diastolic, as measured in millimeters of mercury (mm Hg). Check your cholesterol. Ask your doctor for a baseline cholesterol test when you're in your 20s and then at least every five years. You may need to start testing earlier if high cholesterol is in your family. If your test results aren't within desirable ranges, your doctor may recommend more-frequent measurements. Most people should aim for a low-density lipoprotein (LDL) level below 130 milligrams per deciliter (mg/dL), or 3.4 millimoles per liter (mmol/L). If you have other risk factors for heart disease, you should aim for an LDL level below 100 mg/dL (2.6 mmol/L). If you're at very high risk of heart disease — if you've already had a heart attack or have diabetes, for example — aim for an LDL level below 70 mg/dL (1.8 mmol/L). Keep diabetes under control. If you have diabetes, tight blood sugar control can help reduce the risk of heart disease. Exercise. Physical activity helps you achieve and maintain a healthy weight and control diabetes, high cholesterol and high blood pressure — all risk factors for heart disease. If you have a heart arrhythmia or heart defect, there may be some restrictions on the activities you can do, so talk to your doctor. With your doctor's OK, aim for 30 to 60 minutes of physical activity most days of the week. Eat healthy foods. A heart-healthy diet based on fruits, vegetables and whole grains — and low in saturated fat, cholesterol, sodium and added sugar — can help you control your weight, blood pressure and cholesterol.

The Mini Gastric Bypass (MGB) is a short, simple, successful, reversible laparoscopic gastric bypass weight loss surgery. It has been recently renamed as One Anastomosis Gastric Bypass. The operation usually takes shorter time, with lesser or similar hospital stay as regular bypass. Indications As per IFSO-APC Consensus statements 2011. Bariatric surgery should be considered for the treatment of obesity for acceptable Asian candidates with BMI ≥ 35 with or without co-morbidities. Bariatric/GI metabolic surgery should be considered for the treatment of T2DM or metabolic syndrome for patients who are inadequately controlled by lifestyle alternations and medical treatment for acceptable Asian candidates with BMI ≥ 30 The surgical approach may be considered as a non-primary alternative to treat inadequately controlled T2DM, or metabolic syndrome, for suitable Asian candidates with BMI ≥ 27.5. Surgery: Mini Gastric bypass surgery is performed under general anaesthesia. Your surgeon makes several small incisions on your abdomen. A laparoscope, a thin instrument with a light and camera on the end, is inserted through one of the incisions, allowing your surgeon to clearly view the internal organs on a monitor. Small surgical instruments are inserted through the other incisions to perform the surgery. The first step is to reduce the size of the stomach so that it holds less food. The stomach is converted into a long slender pouch up to the antral part by stapling. The second step of the surgery involves the creation of a bypass for food to flow from the new stomach pouch. A loop of small intestine preferably between 150 and 250 cms is chosen for anastomosis depending upon the surgeon and the metabolic condition of the patient. The middle section of intestine is attached to the opening in the stomach pouch creating what is referred to as the "omega loop". The loop enables food to bypass the lower stomach, duodenum, and a portion of the small intestine. At the end of the procedure, the incisions are closed with sutures.

Coronary artery disease develops when the major blood vessels that supply your heart become damaged or diseased. Cholesterol-containing deposits (plaques) in your coronary arteries and inflammation are usually to blame for coronary artery disease. The coronary arteries supply blood, oxygen and nutrients to your heart. A buildup of plaque can narrow these arteries, decreasing blood flow to your heart. Eventually, the reduced blood flow may cause chest pain (angina), shortness of breath, or other coronary artery disease signs and symptoms. A complete blockage can cause a heart attack. Because coronary artery disease often develops over decades, you might not notice a problem until you have a significant blockage or a heart attack. But you can take steps to prevent and treat coronary artery disease. A healthy lifestyle can make a big impact. Symptoms If your coronary arteries narrow, they can't supply enough oxygen-rich blood to your heart — especially when it's beating hard, such as during exercise. At first, the decreased blood flow may not cause any symptoms. As plaque continues to build up in your coronary arteries, however, you may develop the following coronary artery disease signs and symptoms: Chest pain (angina). You may feel pressure or tightness in your chest, as if someone were standing on your chest. This pain, called angina, usually occurs on the middle or left side of the chest. Angina is generally triggered by physical or emotional stress. The pain usually goes away within minutes after stopping the stressful activity. In some people, especially women, the pain may be brief or sharp and felt in the neck, arm or back. Shortness of breath. If your heart can't pump enough blood to meet your body's needs, you may develop shortness of breath or extreme fatigue with activity. Heart attack. A completely blocked coronary artery will cause a heart attack. The classic signs and symptoms of a heart attack include crushing pressure in your chest and pain in your shoulder or arm, sometimes with shortness of breath and sweating. Women are somewhat more likely than men are to have less typical signs and symptoms of a heart attack, such as neck or jaw pain. And they may have other symptoms such as shortness of breath, fatigue and nausea. Sometimes a heart attack occurs without any apparent signs or symptoms.

During the procedure In general, a face-lift involves elevating the skin and tightening the underlying tissues and muscles. Fat in the face and neck may be sculpted, removed, or redistributed. Facial skin is then re-draped over the newly repositioned contours of the face, excess skin is removed, and the wound is stitched or taped closed. The incisions for the procedure depend on the techniques that will be used and the patient's preferences. Options include: A traditional facelift incision starts at your temples in the hairline, continues down and around the front of your ears, and ends behind your ears in your lower scalp. An incision might be made under your chin to improve the appearance of your neck. A limited incision is a shorter incision that begins in your hairline just above your ear, wraps around the front of your ear, but does not extend all the way into the lower scalp. Neck lift incision starts in front of your earlobe and continues around your ear into your lower scalp. A small incision also is made under your chin. A facelift generally takes two to four hours but might take longer if other cosmetic procedures are done at the same time. After the procedure After a face-lift, you may experience: Mild to moderate pain Drainage from the incisions Swelling Bruising Numbness Contact your doctor immediately if you have: Severe pain on one side of your face or neck within 24 hours of surgery Shortness of breath Chest pain Irregular heartbeats Your incisions will likely be covered with bandages that provide gentle pressure to minimize swelling and bruising. A small tube might be placed under the skin behind one or both of your ears to drain any excess blood or fluid. In the first few days after surgery: Rest with your head elevated Take pain medication as recommended by your doctor Apply cool packs to the face to ease pain and reduce swelling

We have all heard it many times before - regular exercise is good for you, and it can help you lose weight. But if you are like many Americans, you are busy, you have a sedentary job, and you haven't yet changed your exercise habits. The good news is that it's never too late to start. You can start slowly, and find ways to fit more physical activity into your life. To get the most benefit, you should try to get the recommended amount of exercise for your age. If you can do it, the payoff is that you will feel better, help prevent or control many diseases, and likely even live longer.

A root canal (also known as an endodontic treatment) is a serious procedure, but one that specialists handle every day. Before engaging in any type of dental work, it’s important to know the facts about root canals. Does a root canal hurt? Since patients are given anesthesia, a root canal isn’t more painful than a regular dental procedure, such as a filling or getting a wisdom tooth removed. However, a root canal is generally a bit sore or numb after the procedure, and can even cause mild discomfort for a few days. How do you know if you need a root canal? Root canals are needed for a cracked tooth from injury or genetics, a deep cavity, or issues from a previous filling. Patients generally need a root canal when they notice their teeth are sensitive, particularly to hot and cold sensations. There are a few symptoms that mean you might need a root canal— Severe pain while chewing or biting Pimples on the gums A chipped or cracked tooth Lingering sensitivity to hot or cold, even after the sensation has been removed Swollen or tender gums Deep decay or darkening of the gums

A type of blood cell that is made in the bone marrow and found in the blood. Red blood cells contain a protein called hemoglobin, which carries oxygen from the lungs to all parts of the body. Checking the number of red blood cells in the blood is usually part of a complete blood cell (CBC) test. It may be used to look for conditions such as anemia, dehydration, malnutrition, and leukemia. Also called erythrocyte and RBC.

To understand how a virus works, it is necessary to think on very small scales. At a so small scale that the human eye could never see the movements of a virus. In fact, viruses are tiny microbes on the planet, yet they can make a person sick and even kill. Then, the questions are: How can something so small make a person so sick? How does a virus reproduce inside the body until it infects another person? Can we avoid getting sick in the presence of a virus? They are more common than you think The first thing you should know about viruses is that they are small pieces of RNA (ribonucleic acid) or DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid), wrapped up in a layer of proteins, which protect their genetic material. This means that they cannot replicate on their own, so they need a host cell to be able to live. They come in very different shapes: as rods, rounds, with crowns or cylindrical tails. However, it is not possible to see this with a simple microscope. To see a virus, it is necessary to use a scanning electron microscope, which uses electrons instead of light to produce an image. Another important fact is that there are many types of viruses. Some can just cause a common flu, while others can be more harmful such as HIV, Ebola or Coronavirus. And, there are viruses that enter the human body, but the immune system manages to fight them, so the person does not get sick. In short, viruses can replicate and create other viruses. This is possible as they can adapt very easily to any environment and any host. They are made to survive very difficult conditions. How do they enter the body? Usually these microorganisms enter the body through the mouth, eyes, nose, genitals or through wounds, bites or any open wounds. Moreover, they are transmitted through different routes. Some diseases are spread by direct contact with infected skin, mucous membranes or body fluids. There is also the possibility of indirect contact, when a person touches an object (door, handle, table), which has the virus on it, when an infected person sneezes, coughs or talks or when the mucous membrane comes into contact with another person. In some other cases, the virus is transmitted through common vehicle such as contaminated food, water or blood. Finally, there are vectors: rats, snakes, mosquitoes etc., which transmit the virus to humans.

A craniectomy is a form of mind surgical treatment wherein docs eliminate a segment of someone's skull. doctors do this surgical procedure to ease the strain on the mind that takes place due to swelling or bleeding. They depart the cranium open until the pressure goes down, at which factor they near the outlet inside the cranium Before deciding to do a craniectomy, doctors will order an MRI or other imaging to get an idea of what is happening inside the skull. They will want to know where any injuries or blood clots are located so they can target the areas with the highest pressure when they operate. You will be under general anesthesia during the surgery. Doctors need to carefully cut the skin to expose the bone of your skull. They’ll use a specialized drill to make holes in the skull so they can make boundaries around the section of bone they will remove. They’ll use a bone saw to cut from hole to hole, then lift the segment of the skull away. Once the doctors can see the brain, they may remove blood clots or clear any excess fluid. They don’t replace the bone right away. Instead, they will give you a special helmet to protect your brain. The hole in the skull will stay open until the swelling and pressure have gone down. This procedure is different from another surgery called a craniotomy. For a craniotomy, doctors open the skull the same way. However, they replace the bone when they have finished operating.
