Most patients from countries like USA and UK travel to developing countries such as India for treatment because India offers some of te cheapest pricing options of treatment, offers a good holiday, there are no waiting lists or queues to stand in, the doctors are comparable to anyone in the world and finally, language does not pose a problem as most people speak English. Why would someone travel to India and not to Thailand? Although the cost difference between treatment in India and Thailand is not much, India offers what you call a language advantage - a patient would surely prefer a country where English is widely spoken. Also, it is believed that the facilities in India are more suited for International patients. India is also working hard to increase it's infrastructure to better suit the...

DO... Fit in fitness If you want to stay fit, your fingers and your mouth should not be the only parts moving regularly. Following a sedentary lifestyle will make you prone to heart disease, osteoporosis, diabetes, hypercholesterolemia, lethargy and mood swings. Hence, a workout should be an indispensable element of your day. Warm-up and cool-down You just can’t afford to miss this one. A warm-up prepares the body for the activity to follow. Our muscles perform better and are less prone to injury when they are warm. A warm-up can mean simply walking or marching for 5 – 10 minutes to raise the body’s core temperature. A cool-down lowers the body’s temperature, gradually. The last 5 – 10 minutes of the workout should be cool-down time. This allows the blood to return to its resting state. Stretch A good time to stretch is immediately after an exercise session, while the body is still warm. Stretching prevents muscle soreness and increases flexibility. It also relaxes the muscles,...

A journey should always be planned in advance to avoid medical problems. Before a long trip, have a medical examination to make sure your diabetes and blood pressure are in good control. Schedule the examination in such a way that you have enough time to control it before you depart. Before any trip, get a detailed prescription from your doctor that should list insulin, syringes, and any other medication you use. A copy of this prescription may even be needed at the customs checkpoint. Blood pressure patients are sensitive to any type of motion which may cause air-sickness, dizziness, nausea and vomiting. Avoid air travel if your blood pressure levels are out of specified range. Delayed flights, long queues, boarding hassles etc. can add to your stress and elevate blood pressure further. To avoid this condition, you need to take certain precautions: Have a cool and quiet evening before your day of journey, have a light breakfast the next morning Do not consume alcohol and excess s...

A total knee replacement is a surgical procedure whereby the diseased knee joint is replaced with artificial material. The knee is a hinge joint which provides motion at the point where the thigh meets the lower leg. The thigh bone (or femur) abuts the large bone of the lower leg (tibia) at the knee joint. During a total knee replacement, the end of the femur bone is removed and replaced with a metal shell. The end of the lower leg bone (tibia) is also removed and replaced with a channeled plastic piece with a metal stem. Depending on the condition of the kneecap portion of the knee joint, a plastic "button" may also be added under the kneecap surface. The posterior cruciate ligament is a tissue that normally stabilizes each side of the knee joint so that the lower leg cannot slide backward in relation to the thigh bone.

1. Develop a strict-but-realistic security policy Your practice should take basic security measures, if it hasn't already done so. Antivirus, antispam, intrusion detection, and firewall software should be installed, Patel says. Because a hacker online or a thief in your office is more apt to seek patients' financial information rather than health data, do not use Social Security numbers as unique patient identifiers, she cautions. Once you have an EHR, you'll need to anticipate common but potentially insecure scenarios and devise a policy for how to respond to them. Todd Chambers, Chief Marketing Officer at Courion Corp., a Westborough, Massachusetts-based identity and access management provider, cites a few issues to address: Which staffers can access the EHR? Will passwords be used? How strong will they be? How often will they be changed? How will confidential data be shared with others? Should encryption be used? Is it permissible for mobile devices such as lapto...
