Dr. Prabhu Prasad on World Asthma Day: Breathe easy in Goa I Gomantak Times
World Asthma Day is observed on May 2 every year and is an attempt to raise awareness of the ailment. The theme for this year is 'Asthma Care for All'.Every year, asthma affects over 339 million people worldwide, with over 15 million being Indians. By 2025, 400 million individuals are expected to suffer from the ailment. It can occur at any age and is not contagious. Asthmatic patients, with controlled asthma, can engage in monitored physical activity. It is manageable with an inhaler.
PREVENTION & CONTROL
Environmental factors have an important role in triggering asthma. Some of us get headaches due to air pollution and climate change, but many end up with asthma. Avoiding risk factors that trigger asthma symptoms is an important technique for better control. Not all asthma is the same. Different biologic pathways interact with various factors to present a different type of asthma, which may necessitate specific treatment strategies.

World Obesity Day: Nearly 50% of infertility cases on rise is due to obese male partner |
More than 2 billion adults over the age of 18 years are affected worldwide. This rising prevalence has severely affected fertility in men and women alike and nearly 50 per cent of the cause is attributed to the obese male partner. There is growing evidence that suggests infertility in obese men due to poor sperm generation, increased estrogen (female hormone), decreased gonadotrophin hormone, diabetes mellitus, and sexual dysfunction. This negative effect may be transmitted to the offspring via changes in the DNA of the germ cell of the father.
