Advanced SearchHomeSubmit ArticlesTop AuthorsLatest ArticlesTop ArticlesLoginHome » Health » Alternative MedicineNarayana Hospitals in IndiaBy IndiahealthJun 3, 2012Narayana Hospitals in India
Narayana Hospitals Bangalore is one the best hospitals in India, in the field of Cardiology, Pediatric care, Neurology, Gastroentrology, Nephrology & Urology and Transplants. The rich come here for the world's best heart care. The poor come here for the world's kindest care, for no one here is turned away for lack of funds. This was the vision of Dr. Devi Shetty, who believed that no child should be deprived of the best healthcare, because the parents cannot afford it. Caring with Compassion, this world's largest heart hospital for children, is set to be transformed into the world's biggest health city, with all super-specialities that the medical world offers. It's a promise of the best healthcare, that brings succour to all, like the divinity of Narayana's Vishwarupa, that greets everyone in the lobby of the hospital.
Narayana Health City currently covers 26 acres of land with a 1000 bed facility at Narayana Hrudayalaya, 250 bed facility at Sparsh, hospital for Accidents/ Orthopedics/ and Plastic Surgery, 300 bed facility at Narayana Netralaya, a super specialty Eye Hospital and a 500 bed facility for the Cancer Hospital, scheduled to be inaugurated in 10 months ( The Cancer hospital is a joint venture between Narayana Hrudayalaya and Kiran Mazumdar Shaw of Biocon Foundation).
The Health city, when commissioned will cover 100 acres housing 5000 beds. The campus will also include post graduation institutes and research centers. Hospitals focusing on women and children and an International Hospital is an integral part of the plan.
Cardiology Interventional Cardiology
Our interventional cardiologits strongly believe in primary interventions on an acute heart attack with medicated stent for all victims. They have vast experience in treating the victims of heart attack. We also conduct post-doctor courses in Cardiology, Interventional Cardiology & Paediatric Cardiology in association with National Board of Examinations, Delhi.
Electrophysiology
Our team is one of the most experienced in the field of electro physiology of the heart which treats rhythm disturbances of the heart commonly called as 'palpitation'. Their special interest is AICD implantation for serious rhythm disturbances of the heart and bi-ventricular pacing for terminal heart failure. We conducts training programs for young cardiologists in the field of electro physiology.
Endovascular Interventions
More and more aneurysms of the aorta are getting amendable from endovascular stent grafting rather than a major surgery. Our team is one of the most experienced in the field of treating complex aneurysm of the aorta with endovascular stent grafting. Narayana Hrudayalaya in association with various hospitals conducts joint discussions via telemedicine for individual patient management.
Pediatric Cardiology & Interventions
Narayana Hrudayalaya has a very well rounded, well trained and active Pediatric Cardiac team. Our Pediatric Cardiologists are adept at complex echocardiograms as well as non surgical interventions in the catherterization lab such as ASD, PDA and VSD closures. It is their good clinical acumen and outstanding echo and cath lab skills that have helped build us into a world class referral center for children with heart disease.

Bone Marrow Transplant (Indiahealth)
Advanced SearchHomeSubmit ArticlesTop AuthorsLatest ArticlesTop ArticlesLoginHome » Health » Alternative MedicineBone Marrow TransplantBy IndiahealthMay 25, 2012Bone Marrow Transplant When stem cells, normally found in the Bone marrow are taken out, filtered and replaced to the same patient or another one then this total process is called as Bone Marrow Transplant. Why is the Bone Marrow Transplant? The stem cells in the Bone Marrow eventually produce blood cells. Bone Marrow is a critical part of our body as Bone Marrow is basically the main Factory of blood cells. A person can fall ill or even can die if there is something much wrong with the Bone Marrow. Diseases like leukemia and aplastic anemia are the result of Unhealthy Bone Marrow. The main objective of a bone marrow transplant is to replace healthy stem cells in place of the unhealthy ones. This process can cure the disease easily. Sources of Bone Marrow Stem Cells -Bone Marrow Harvest: This is a process of collecting stem cells by taking them directly from Bone. -Apheresis: This is a process to collect stem cells after filtering the blood for peripheral blood cells. -Umbilical Cord blood: In this Process stem cells are filtered from blood in the umbilical cord after the birth of a baby. The majority of the transplants are made using Apheresis as this method gives better results for both donor and the recipient.
Procedure of Transplant:
Bone marrow is made of the soft, fatty tissue inside our bones. Stem cells are basically immature cells in the bone marrow that give rise to all of your blood cells. Blood is made of:
-Red blood cells (which carry oxygen to your tissues)
-White blood cells (which fight infection)
-Platelets (which help your blood clot)
Bone marrow transplant helps us to gain new healthy stem cells when our own old bone marrow is destroyed.

Radaition Therapy In India (Indiahealth)
Advanced SearchHomeSubmit ArticlesTop AuthorsLatest ArticlesTop ArticlesLoginHome » Health » Alternative MedicineRadaition Therapy In IndiaBy IndiahealthMay 22, 2012Radaition Therapy In India
Radiation therapy or radiotherapy, also called radiation oncology, is the use of ionizing radiation as part of cancer treatment to destroy malignant cells.
What is Radiation Therapy?
Cells reproducing at abnormally high rates are known as Tumors . Radiation therapy specifically acts against such cells that are reproducing rapidly. Normal cells stop reproducing or dividing as they come into contact with other cells. But in the case of a tumor, dividing of the cells does not stop and the cells continue to divide over and over. It is due to the DNA of the cell that makes it capable of reproducing.
In Radiation therapy high energy x-rays are used to damage the DNA of cells, thus it kills the cancer cells, or else stop them from reproducing.This damage is caused by a photon, electron, proton, neutron, or ion beam directly or indirectly ionizing the atoms by which DNA chain is made up of. Indirect ionization occurs due to the ionization of water, forming free radicals, notably hydroxyl radicals, which damages the DNA. Most of the radiation effect is through free radicals, is commonly used form of radiation therapy. But cells have the mechanisms to overcome the DNA damage. So this technique proves to be the most effective in modifying cell characteristics by breaking the DNA on both strands .Because cancer cells are generally undifferentiated and stem cell-like, they reproduce fast and have the capability to repair sub- lethal damage as compared to most healthy differentiated cells. But this damage in DNA is accumulating to the cancer cell which it inherits through cell division,as a result causing them to die or reproduce more slowly. But normal cells are also damaged through Radiation. Actually normal cells grows slowly, so they are capable of repairing this radiation damage better then the cancer cells. This is to replace healthy stem cells in place of the unhealthy ones. This process can cure the disease easily.
Types of Radiation Therapy:
There are mainly two main types of radiation therapy : -
a). External radiation therapy: In this case a beam of radiation is directed from outside the body. In internal radiation therapy which is also known as brachytherapy or implant therapy, here a radioactivity source is placed surgically inside the body near the tumor.
b). External radiation: This is also known as x-ray therapy, cobalt therapy, proton therapy, or intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT). In this type of radiation a machine called a linear accelerator is used to administered .Depending on the treatment protocol being used, once or twice a day this treatment can be given.
Five days a week and for several weeks the treatments goes on, which depends on the total final dose of radiation that has been planned. In order to give normal cells some time to heal, on weekends patients are given a break from treatment , which reduces the side effects. Someone receiving external radiation therapy is neither radioactive nor dangerous to the people surrounding him or her.
In Internal radiation therapy the source of high-energy rays is placed inside the body, mostly close to the cancer cells. This is done by implanting small pieces of the radioactive substance or else by implanting a reservoir, in which a liquid radioactive substance is injected. Very intense radiation is delivers through this to a small area of the body which limits the dose to the normal tissue. When compared with external treatment internal radiation therapy allows the doctor to give a higher total dose of radiation in a shorter time .
