Scientists new direction to eliminate male infertility

Scientists new direction to eliminate male infertility

Men and women can have equal responsibility for preventing the birth of a child. However, not everyone is as vocal and conscious about male infertility as women are about eliminating infertility. But the matter is very serious. 

Although earlier women were blamed for not having children, later medical science proved that infertility can affect everyone, regardless of gender. Men can also have problems in this case. And male infertility is nothing new. 

Hopefully, researchers at the University of Toledo have recently found a new direction in male infertility. By examining the new motility of sperm, they got important information about male infertility. Their research paper has been published in the famous journal Nature. 

It has been revealed that it is possible to increase the speed of the tail by artificially increasing the speed at the junction of the sperm head and the tail. That is what the researchers have claimed. The researchers claim that the centriole of sperm is predominantly immobile. Bringing speed to that place is a great discovery. And if it moves regularly then the speed of sperm will increase. As a result, his activism will also increase. And the fast-moving sperm will be more active in fertilizing with the ovum of the female body. As a result, men will be freed from cursed infertility. It will even play an important role in abortion or birth defects. This new motion of centriole is called 'atypical centriole'.

If the head and tail of the sperm do not move at the same speed, it cannot reach the fertile egg at the right time. In that case, the centriole is defective. Scientists have been able to move those centrioles artificially. And because of this inability of sperm, infertility is seen in men. Scientists hope that this new discovery will solve the long-term problems of men. Scientists have the same hope.

What to do when the first period of adolescence begins

What you need to eat during the period

What to do when the first period of adolescence begins

Adolescents should be monitored for at least six months in addition to counseling after the onset of menstruation (period).

'After the onset of the teen's period, she needs to be monitored for at least six months in addition to her counseling. Because it will help girls to cope with the fear of menstruation or menstrual problems at the beginning of life, 'said Shiuli Chowdhury, Professor of Adolescent Friendly Health Care Center at Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical University (BSMMU). 

Salma Begum, an employee of a non-governmental organization in Dhaka, said that the onset of menstruation is frightening to many girls, whose remnants have to carry many girls for a long time. 

"We didn't get a chance to talk about it or get advice from anyone," he said. Because, even a few days ago, it was difficult to talk about menstruation at home and abroad. I knew what my mother said in the beginning. There was no hygiene concept. But I have suffered myself. Again I saw some of my friends endure the excruciating pain. But no one cared. ' 

Excessive bleeding during menstruation is painful for many girls. Some people experience severe pain in the lower abdomen for a longer period than usual.

What to do with the girl and her family

Doctor Shiuli Chowdhury said, firstly counseling, secondly eating an adequate amount of balanced and nutritious food, and thirdly resting - these are the situations that need to be ensured.

"A lot of bleeding can lead to anemia," he said. If you don't take action on time, other complications may occur later. So at this time, you have to eat more nutritious food especially iron-rich food. During menstruation, vitamins and minerals are excreted from the body of the girl - so she should talk to the doctor or nutritionist and make a list of balanced diet and feed her.

However, at the beginning of the menstrual period, mothers talk openly and start counseling by observing the calendar for 1-2 years, i.e. keeping a note of the menstrual period, as well as a healthy lifestyle and cleanliness, he said.

She said, 'At this time, hormonal changes take place in the body of girls. Some people have regular menstrual periods but many have late or heavy bleeding, which can lead to anemia. If there is no other problem, you have to take care of it without worrying. However, if there is excessive bleeding, you have to seek the help of a doctor. 

Professor Shiuli Chowdhury of BSMMU's Adolescent Friendly Health Care Center has suggested considering a few issues in the care of girls centered on menstruation. These are:

1. Nutritious foods, especially iron-rich foods

2. Ideas about hygiene

3. Adequate rest

4. Ensuring adequate protein and vitamins in the diet

5. If necessary, take the help of an adolescent-friendly health care center.

Shiuli Chowdhury said that if there is more pain, some tests may be needed, and if it is done in time, there is no risk of many complications later.

 World Thalassemia Day is being celebrated

Know thalassemia

Dr. Gulzar Hossain

World Thalassemia Day is being celebrated on May 8 this year as every year. This year's theme is Addressing Health Inequalities Across the Global Thalassemia community; In Bengali, it stands for "We are in the process of eliminating global thalassemia inequality."

Sister Marrow transplant is going on somewhere in the world Gene therapy is also going on somewhere. And somewhere there is only blood circulation. Iron chelation medicine also does not match. This time the theme has been adopted to eliminate such inequality. 

Let's know a little at the beginning, what is thalassemia? 

Thalassemia is a hereditary blood disorder. It is a gene-borne disease that is transmitted from generation to generation through genes. 

Red blood cells also contain a special type of pigment called hemoglobin. This hemoglobin works to supply oxygen 
Genetic defects in the formation or production of hemoglobin disrupt its production. Defective hemoglobin reduces the lifespan of red blood cells and causes them to break down more easily. In this condition anemia occurs in the body. There are various symptoms. This is thalassemia.

There are many types of thalassemia. Simply put, there are two main types of thalassemia: alpha thalassemia and beta thalassemia.

In most cases alpha thalassemia is not acute. In many cases the symptoms are not understood, the patient leads a normal life. 

Beta thalassemia can be of two types. A beta thalassemia minor. These are called thalassemia traits or carriers. The other is Thalassemia Major.

Thalassemia trait is the main carrier of the disease. In most cases, they do not show signs of thalassemia. Many may unknowingly carry the disease throughout their lives. Mild anemia occurs in a few cases. 

If both parents have thalassemia treatment, the child has a 25 percent chance of developing thalassemia major. There is a 50 percent chance of a career 

Fatigue, fatigue, shortness of breath, pale skin, etc. are the symptoms of thalassemia. Jaundice occurs because the blood breaks down at a higher rate. Urine may also be yellow. The spleen becomes enlarged. The liver can also become enlarged. The bones tend to become thinner. There are special changes in appearance. The bones of the nose can be given. The shape of the face is like the Chinese. This is called 'Mongoloid Face'. Decreased body growth. Gradually some special complications appear.

Because the patient has to give blood frequently, the level of iron in the body increases. This iron is stored in the heart, liver and pancreas. This stage is fatal. It can be seen that due to the accumulation of excess iron, the organs start to become crippled. If proper treatment is not given in such a situation, the patient may die due to various physical complications. 

The most common method of detecting thalassemia is a blood hemoglobin electrophoresis test. In our country, the scope of this test outside Dhaka is very limited. The possibility of thalassemia can be inferred from routine blood tests (CBCs). The disease can also be detected by DNA testing. 

Blood transfusion is the main treatment for thalassemia. When iron is increased, it has to be reduced with iron chelation drugs. If the spleen becomes too big, the spleen has to be cut off by surgery. This reduces the rate of blood intake. Bone marrow transplantation is a permanent treatment. Gene therapy is another advanced treatment for this disease But these treatments are beyond the reach of the general public. 

According to the World Health Organization, more than 100 million people worldwide carry different types of beta thalassemia genes. About one lakh children are born every year with complex thalassemia.

According to the World Health Organization, 6 percent of Bangladesh's population, or 11 million people, are carriers of thalassemia. Seven thousand new babies with thalassemia are born every year. 

Awareness is very important to prevent thalassemia. Thalassemia can be greatly reduced by having a blood test before marriage. It is possible to reduce thalassemia if you can ensure that there is no marriage between the two careers. Marriage between relatives should be discouraged. In high-risk cases, fetal thalassemia should be checked in a special way on the advice of a doctor after the baby is born. Abortion can be done on the advice of a doctor if the disease is caught. In many countries of the world, the incidence of thalassemia has been reduced in this way.

Extensive public awareness is needed to prevent thalassemia. Thalassemia can be controlled if the government, private, social and media can create this awareness from all sides.

Red spots on the skin rash, skin problems can be symptoms of covid

Red spots on the skin rash, skin problems can be symptoms of covid?

Compared to last year, researchers are getting to know many new symptoms of Kovid-19 almost every day this year. In the case of mutated viruses, various problems are seen in the body as compared to before. It also has various skin problems. Many may not be able to catch these at first. But if left unmanaged, they can be left astray and lose the right path.

Toes and nails

Coronavirus infections have been reported to cause redness and swelling of the toes for several months. Besides, black or white lines on the nails have been newly known. These are not very serious symptoms, but sometimes frozen wounds can be on the toes. So should keep an eye.

Radh

Swelling, rash, itching or irritation like red discs on different parts of the body - all these can be symptoms of covid infection. Rash is one of the mild symptoms of covid. These can be seen when the infection spreads on the skin. These are more likely to occur in people with sensitive skin. But how do you differentiate between rash and rash due to heat? Kovid's rash can hit any part of the body. Hands, feet, back, toes, neck, abdomen - anywhere. Take note of what is happening suddenly without a reason. Suppose you have a rash on your face when you go out in the sun. But now he is working from home, not getting out in the sun. Despite the radish on the body! If this is the case, consult a doctor.

Reddish spots on the back

Many times the red wheel on the back can be seen swollen like a wheel. These are a little hard to catch. Many times it goes away on its own within a few hours. However, in some Kovid-patients this symptom has been seen so far. This skin disease is called urticaria.

Dry lips

Dry lips and skin rashes are most noticeable in covid patients. Especially those who are not drinking much water along with nutritious food and medicine during treatment. However, while in solitary confinement, the doctors say to keep an eye on whether there is any bluish feeling on the lips. This is because it can happen when oxygen levels are low. And must immediately contact the hospital or monitoring team.

Sensitive skin

Swelling of the whole body and excessive sensation of the upper abdomen is also one of the new symptoms of the second wave of corona. Although not very numerous, several covid-patients have reported these symptoms.

How to differentiate with normal skin problems

These symptoms are still being studied. It is really difficult to differentiate between normal skin problems and the symptoms of covid. But be a little more careful if you see these. Notice if the allergy or rash is increasing. Notice if there are other symptoms of covid like fever, cough, fatigue.
