Air pollution can increase the risk of developing diabetes by 22%, says Dr Mithal.
VIDEO | Delhi: On rising air pollution levels, endocrinologist Dr. Ambrish Mithal says, "People often think that the currently increased air pollution affects only our lungs or heart, but it also has many metabolic effects, impacting our blood sugar, weight, insulin secretion, and insulin action. The tiny PM 2.5 particles reach our blood through the lungs, travel throughout the body, and can cause inflammation in the pancreas as well as insulin resistance in fat tissue elsewhere..."

Interventional Radiology procedures are often lifesaving and failure can mean life to someone. That is another reason we push boundaries to make it happen.
Any other IRs ever notice that it's okay, almost expected, that other specialties will fail occasionally on procedures, but once IR is involved, failure is unthinkable and unacceptable? IR technical (not necessarily clinical!) success rate is probably the highest in medicine.

This is so heartwarming. There is no better reward than gratitude.
World-leading cardiac surgeon Asif Hasan was surrounded by the children who received the gift of life thanks to his unerring skills at the emotional climax of another memorable Pride of Britain ceremony. 🥹 Now 70 years old, Mr Hasan has just retired after 35 years of service at the Freeman Hospital in Newcastle upon Tyne, but just after receiving his Lifetime Achievement Award, he had an extra special surprise: a cast of patients who would not be alive without him. ❤️

Some patients walk into our clinic carrying more than a diagnosis. They carry the weight of words they've already heard: "There's nothing more we can do." Then something shifts. Patients who were written off for treatment may find new hope. Families who had stopped planning ahead start making plans again. Watching someone's face change when they realize the door they thought was closed is actually open. It's the moment I value most. #InterventionalRadiology #DrKaloo #MaxHealthcare #MaxHospital

Why is there no airplay option for freeform app? It could be super useful! @AppleSupport

As a general rule, if the infection is too lethal and kills most of the infected people: it is unlikely to spread far and wide. Plus we already have effective antibiotics for bacterial infections. That was not the case with COVID19 virus.
Pneumonic Plague cannot become a global pandemic , it is far too lethal, person-to-person spread is inefficient, it is airborne in droplets but not aerosolised. Distant spread is very unlikely. We have good prophylactic antibiotics.

Plague is extremely unlikely to become a pandemic. The reason is that humans primarily get it from rats (bubonic- groins) . Human to human transmission is uncommon (Pneumonic- lungs) . With today’s technology it is very easy to get rid of a rats and fleas and interrupt the cycle. Plus antibiotics can treat those who get infected. Lastly those who get pneumonic plague are unlikely to survive without early treatment- that interrupts the cycle again.

Cancer can be caused by persistent irritation- be it from anything causing irritation, like • H.pylori to stomach, • a jagged tooth to mouth, • a stone to Gallbladder Chronic irritation → metaplasia → dysplasia → carcinoma If you know more, add in comments

You are correct and that is why antibiotics are going to work. Plague is caused by the bacterium called Yersinia pestis.
Replying to @DrKaloo
Antibiotics are not for viruses, they only work on bacterial infections.

People deserve a better healthcare system: more beds, more doctors, more nurses. But, it is not doctors who are stopping people from having all this. People have to understand that it is not doctors who are responsible for the pathetic condition of public Healthcare services.
𝗚𝗼𝗼𝗻𝗱𝗮𝗶𝘀𝗺 𝗵𝗮𝘀 𝘁𝗮𝗸𝗲𝗻 𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗿 𝗜𝗻𝗱𝗶𝗮𝗻 𝗵𝗼𝘀𝗽𝗶𝘁𝗮𝗹𝘀!! A female doctor was reportedly assaulted while on duty at Bhoodan Pochampally PHC, Telangana, after treating a patient. He also attacked staff and took her stethoscope. No one is taking responsibility for our young doctors. Doctors are now reaching hospitals expecting assault rather than treating patients. The Central Protection Act is lying unused, because there is 𝗻𝗼 𝗵𝗲𝗮𝗹𝘁𝗵 𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗿𝗴𝗲𝗻𝗰𝘆 𝗶𝗻 𝗜𝗻𝗱𝗶𝗮. @MoHFW_INDIA @TelanganaCMO — TAKE STRICT ACTION. #StopViolenceAgainstDoctors #MedTwitter
