Methods of conditioning and training has come a long way in recent decades. Athletes in their forties are now competing professionally, a field that was traditionally reserved for their younger contemporaries, and world records have plummeted, and recovery times have decreased slightly. The modern athlete amazes me with his or her incredible stamina and vigor on the field. The improvement we've seen on the field is mostly attributable to changes in players' diets and training regimens. Clearly, times are different now that functional training is being so widely practiced. What is Functional Strength Training? One of the most widespread approaches ... Read More

Differentiated thyroid cancer describes both follicular and papillary forms of the disease, which share certain characteristics with healthy thyroid glands but exhibit malignant behavior. Both are treatable malignancies that spread slowly and together account for roughly 90% of thyroid carcinomas. However, there are distinctions between the two. What is Follicular Thyroid Cancer? Malignant follicular thyroid cancer with a higher degree of aggressiveness. It accounts for just around 15% of all thyroid carcinomas and is extremely uncommon. The first signs of this disease include a change in voice, pain in the neck, increasing hoarseness, and trouble swallowing; later, the cancer spreads ... Read More

Anxiety may be either helpful or detrimental, depending on the circumstances and how the individual reacts to and processes the pressures, worries, and events they encounter. Readiness for competition was shown to be the most often recognized antecedent of both beneficial and detrimental competitive anxiety in a study. Subjects in the study saw their anxiousness either as an asset or a hindrance to their performance, depending on how well prepared they felt. What is Facilitative Anxiety? Anxiety that is beneficial to performance is known as facilitative anxiety (American Psychological Association, 2020). Anxiety is thought to be motivated because of its ... Read More

Corticosteroids, commonly known as glucocorticoids or steroids, are used to treat a wide variety of conditions, including arthritis, skin and blood diseases, severe allergies, and more. Corticosteroids, such as dexamethasone and methylprednisolone, are given to Covid-19 patients to boost lung function. Patients with coronavirus who were given 2mg/day of intravenous methylprednisolone had better medical outcomes on days 5 and 10 compared to those who were given 6mg/day of dexamethasone. What is Dexamethasone? Corticosteroid dexamethasone is used to treat immune system disorders and hormone deficiencies. Inflammation, allergic responses, rheumatoid arthritis, skin illnesses, intestinal disease flare-ups, multiple sclerosis, chemotherapy preparation, and adrenal ... Read More

Both chronic post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and chronic post-traumatic stress disorder (COPS) are mental health illnesses associated with discomfort, anxiety, traumatic event, and emotional and cognitive abnormalities. PTSD is a distinct mental illness characterised by more than a month of intrusive memories, avoidance symptoms, negative changes in mood and thinking, and changes in physical and emotional arousal, while COVID stress syndrome is a complex phenomenon characterised by a network of interrelated symptoms (traumatic stress symptoms, xenophobia, socioeconomic problems, reassurance seeking, and compulsive checking) with the danger of COVID-19 at its core. In what follows, we'll go even further into these ... Read More

Lung infections, or pneumonia, are quite serious and can even be fatal. Pneumonia in any form is a terrifying disease. Viral or bacterial organisms are the likely culprits. The coronavirus 2 strain associated with the severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS-CoV-2) is the causative agent in cases of covid pneumonia. Streptococcus is the bacterium responsible for causing pneumonia (pneumococcus). Even so, it can also be caused by other microorganisms. As opposed to bacterial pneumonia, Covid pneumonia is far more dangerous. What is Covid Pneumonia? In covid pneumonia, viruses affect both lobes of the lungs, causing an inflammatory reaction with a more ... Read More

The term "convalescent plasma therapy" refers to the practise of using a healthy donor's blood plasma to treat a sick individual with the same illness. Created in the lab, monoclonal antibodies target particular pathogens and are used as a treatment option. What is Convalescent Plasma Therapy? In the medical practise known as convalescent plasma therapy, the plasma from a patient who has previously been infected with but has since recovered from the same disease is used to treat another patient with the same disease. The patient must be well enough to undergo plasma extraction and usage once they have fully ... Read More

When treating SARIs (severe acute respiratory infections) caused by viruses, it is common practice to provide either convalescent plasma (plasma obtained from the blood of a patient who has recovered from a sickness) or serum, or hyperimmune immunoglobulin (H-Ig). Since there aren't many fast-acting treatments for treating coronavirus, convalescent plasma therapy is the best bet. Due to the intricate nature of its production, hyperimmune globulin (H-Ig) is less readily available and requires more time to generate. H-Ig, on the other hand, provides uniformly virus-specific antibodies across all units, reducing the likelihood that patients would contract any virus (not only COVID-19) ... Read More

There are two types of headphones namely, noise-cancelling headphones and noise-isolating headphones, which are designed to suppress the unwanted external noise in the sound. But both are completely different from each other. The main difference between noise-cancelling and noise-isolating headphones is that the noise-cancelling headphones actively reduce external noise by using microphone and electronics, while the noise-isolating headphones create a physical barrier between the ear and the surrounding noise to block the external noise. In this article, we will discuss all the important differences between noise-cancelling and noise isolating headphones. But before that let us first have a ... Read More

Display is the most important part of a visual display unit (VDU) like TV, monitor, etc. Depending on the colors displayed on the screen, displays are of two types namely, monochrome display and color display. The fundamental difference between monochrome and color display is that a monochrome display can display graphics like images, text, etc. in gray shades only, while a color display can display graphics in full color. In this article, we will discuss all the important differences between monochrome display and color display. But before discussing the differences, let us first have a look into their basics. ...
