Jameela went on to say that it is a "really serious condition that impacts every single part of your body".
A few days ago, British actor Jameela Jamil opened up about a rare genetic condition called Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (EDS), about which she made a video on Instagram, wherein she showed her stretchy facial skin on camera and her rather bendy elbow joint. “Jesus Christ, that is not an app. That is not a filter. That is just my face. Look how elastic that is,” the ‘She-Hulk: Attorney at Law‘ actor said in the video, wherein she pulled her own cheeks. She added, “The reason it is so elastic is that I have something called EDS, which is Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome.”
The 36-year-old went on to say that she is ‘hypermobile’, which means there is joint hypermobility with a large range of movements in some or all of the joints. “It pertains to my joints, as you can see, nothing bends the right way, everything bends the wrong way,” she explained while extending her arm.
Dr. Reshu Agrawal, consultant – internal medicine, Manipal Hospitals, Baner-Pune told indianexpress.com that connective tissue is a complex mixture of proteins and other substances that provide strength and elasticity to the underlying structures in the body. “Basically, EDS is caused by faults in certain genes which make connective tissues weaker. The symptoms vary from person to person and depend on the type of EDS. Some of the common symptoms include extremely-flexible joints leading to easy dislocation, early arthritis, and fragile skin that bruises easily,” she said.

Worrying signs that your fatty liver is getting worse
Fatty liver in many people goes undiagnosed in the early stages because it's most asymptomatic. Here are signs that your fatty liver is getting worse. Fatty liver often appears harmless and has rarely any symptoms in the initial stages. It all starts with a build-up of fat in liver that is not broken down properly due to consuming too many calories or diseases like diabetes, high cholesterol among others.
"Fatty liver is on the rise due to lifestyle and diet changes. A sedentary lifestyle and excess intake of processed and high-calorie diet are some of the major causes of this condition. Though alcohol tops the chart as an etiology for fatty liver, non-alcoholic fatty liver is equally on the rise due to this," says Dr Amol Dahale, Consultant, Gastroenterology, Manipal Hospitals, Baner-Pune.

The pandemic has been challenging for people of all age groups, including expecting mothers. While pregnancy can be a beautiful time for a woman, it can also become challenging, especially with the sudden surge of diseases. It is important to pay attention to maternal immunization as it increases the benefits for both mother and child. Pregnancy vaccinations can directly protect the mother from diseases that can be avoided, hence protecting the developing fetus.
As newborn babies have a weaker immunity system, there is a higher risk of developing infectious diseases that can even become fatal for them. Hence, there are certain vaccinations that every woman should take during pregnancy which are not only safe for the baby but also protect them from flu for several months after birth.

Dr. Abhijit Joshi- Consultant and Head of the Department Cardiology, Manipal Hospital, Baner, Pune, said that the COVID-19 virus is having an affinity towards cardiac muscle and this disturbs the normal blood clotting mechanism in the body.
He further explained that during the covid pandemic, it was observed that patients who were not diabetic or hypertensive became borderline diabetic and hypertensive. Since coronary artery disease remains without symptoms for a long time and if the patient suffers covid then they may present with acute heart attack, which needs immediate intervention like angioplasty. "The heart attacks during the covid period were more complicated due to late presentation to the hospital as well as nonresponse to routine medication. 5) Many episodes of lung blood vessel clotting (pulmonary embolism) were seen and were potentially life-threatening," Dr. Joshi told TheHealthSite.com.
