Urticaria (Hives): Understanding the Types, Causes, and Why It Happens -  Welcome to this comprehensive guide on a very common skin condition known as Urticaria, often called Hives in English, or locally known as "Pitti" or "Daphad" in Hindi. It’s a global phenomenon, affecting people of all ages and ethnicities. Epidemiological studies estimate that approximately 20% of the population experiences this condition at least once in their lifetime, making it an extremely frequent dermatological complaint. In this two-part series, we will cover everything you need to know about Urticaria. In this article (Part 1), we will focus on what it is, why it happens, and the different types. In Part 2, we will discuss diagnosis, the myths surrounding testing, and effective treatment protocols. Let’s dive into the details.

# Lice in Hair: The Silent Killer No One Talks About - (And Why It Could Be Far More Dangerous Than You Think) - You think lice are just an itchy embarrassment — something that happens to “other people’s kids” after a sleepover?   Think again.   While head lice themselves don’t carry plague like rats or malaria like mosquitoes, a hidden, explosive chain reaction is happening on the rise — one that starts with “just a little scratching” and ends in emergency rooms, permanent scarring, kidney failure, and, in extreme documented cases, death.   This is the story nobody wants to tell you. The one pediatricians whisper about in break rooms. The one dermatologists see every single week but rarely makes headlines.   Welcome to the dark side of Pediculus humanus capitis — the silent killer living in millions of heads right now. ### Chapter 1: The Perfect Stealth Parasite Head lice have evolved over 100,000 years to be undetectable for weeks — sometimes mo...

# Edema Explained: The Ultimate 2025 Guide to Understanding, Managing, and Preventing Fluid Retention - Swelling in the legs, ankles, feet, hands, or even the face is something millions of people experience every single day. Most brush it off as “my feet are just swollen from the heat” or “I ate too much salt yesterday.” In many cases, they’re right. In others, that same swelling – medically known as edema – is the first visible warning sign of heart failure, kidney dysfunction, liver disease, blood clots, or lymphatic problems. ### What Edema Actually Is (And Why It Happens) At its simplest, edema is excess interstitial fluid – the liquid that normally bathes every cell in your body – accumulating in the wrong place. Normally, fluid moves out of capillaries into tissues and is efficiently returned by veins and the lymphatic system. When that balance breaks, swelling occurs. The human body contains about 42 liters of fluid. Roughly 28 liters stay inside cells, 11 liters circulate in bl...

  *Sleep Paralysis: Symptoms, Causes, Myths & Effective Treatment – Complete Guide -  Sleep is one of the most essential processes for the human body, yet for millions of people around the world, it brings an experience that can be terrifying and confusing — Sleep Paralysis. Many describe it as waking up but being unable to move, breathe freely, or speak. Others feel a presence in the room or see shadow figures around them.

Hello guys,welcome to my blog, we will learn about the formation of gas in the stomach. What are its causes, how much is normal, when do we call it abnormal, how to control it, and what is good food to eat? We will learn all about this. "Gas" can mean belching (which we call eructation), or stomach heaviness (which is called bloating), or passing gas from below through the anus (which is called flatulence). These are the medical terms. Gas formation is a natural process. What is commonly called "gas"—acidity, reflux, ulcer, gastritis (stomach inflammation)—is also often referred to as gas. But that gas is different. In that case, the problem is due to acid, and acid-reducing medicines are given, along with some dietary changes. The gas problem I am talking about—excessive belching, belching after eating, sour burps, belching all day, stomach heaviness, or passing a lot of gas—is different. This is when gas is formed while food is being digested. If it's happenin...

Hello,friends! Welcome to my blog, we’re going to learn about antioxidants—what they are, what they do in our body, their types, and the impact of their deficiency or excess. We’ll also see whether you get them from supplements or food, as antioxidants are becoming quite popular these days, and many people want to learn about them. So, let’s dive in and understand this topic. First, let’s clarify what antioxidants are. Simply put, antioxidants are substances that control or neutralize the oxidants or free radicals produced in our body. Basically, our body undergoes reactions or inflammatory processes that require the production of oxidants. These could be superoxide, hydrogen peroxide, or lipid peroxides—all of which are free radicals. These free radicals are essential for processes like fighting infections or supporting metabolic functions. They can also be produced due to environmental toxins, excessive fatty acids, high sugar levels, or exposure to ionizing radiation. So, these fre...

  Introduction: Seeing the World Through a Different Lens - Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is not a disease — it’s a different way of experiencing the world. Individuals with autism perceive, think, and interact uniquely, often showing extraordinary abilities alongside social and sensory challenges. The word “spectrum” reflects the vast range of strengths and difficulties that vary from one person to another. In recent years, awareness about autism has grown significantly. Yet, many myths and misunderstandings still exist. This article dives deep into what autism truly means, how it develops, how it’s diagnosed and treated, and — most importantly — how families and society can support those who live with it. 1. What Is Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD)? Autism Spectrum Disorder is a neurodevelopmental condition that affects how a person communicates, learns, and interacts socially. It is called a spectrum because symptoms and their severity differ widely. Some individuals need full-ti...
