Why Your Blood Pressure Rises In Winter And What You Can Do To Manage It
As temperatures drop, our bodies adapt in fascinating ways, some beneficial and others less so. Among these responses is vasoconstriction, a natural defence mechanism where blood vessels constrict to preserve core body heat. This process, however, comes at a price: elevated blood pressure. Reduced physical activity, weight gain from festive indulgences and a tendency toward saltier comfort foods all compound the issue. Says Dr. Pramod Bhanudas Narkhede, Consultant – Cardiology at Manipal Hospital Kharadi, Pune, “Cold temperatures can increase stress on the heart, and combined with lifestyle changes during winter, this can pose risks for those prone to hypertension.”

New Discovery Could Lead to Better Epilepsy Treatments
A new study by scientists at UTHealth Houston has discovered two important genes that could help us better understand and treat epilepsy. This discovery is a big step forward in understanding what causes epilepsy, especially in patients whose seizures don’t respond to medication. Epilepsy is a condition that affects the brain and causes seizures. In the United States, around 3.4 million people have epilepsy, and about one-third of them struggle with forms of epilepsy that are hard to treat with drugs. This new research could help doctors find new ways to treat these patients more effectively.

Things You Did Not Know About Heart Valve Surgeries
Heart valve surgery is a procedure to treat heart valve disease, which happens when at least one of the four heart valves is not working properly. However, many aspects of heart valve surgery may surprise a non-medical person. Read on to know what they are. A heart valve surgery fixes or replaces one or more of the four valves in your heart. Your valves, located between the heart’s chambers, keep your blood moving the right way. These act like doors that open and close with each heartbeat, letting your blood flow in and out of the chambers. When your valve works in the right way, your blood should flow through your heart in one direction each time your heart beats. A heart valve cannot repair itself and the disease would get worse with time. As the disease gets worse, you will have more symptoms, and your overall health will suffer. These changes often happen slowly, but they can also occur very quickly. "The flap-like structures called heart valves control blood flow in the heart, making sure it flows in the right direction and avoiding backflow. The heart can discover it difficult to pump blood effectively if its valves are compromised," Dr. Vikrant Khese, Visiting Consultant Cardiology, at Manipal Hospital, told Times Now.

Gastric Balloons for weight loss: 6 Things you should know about it
A sedentary lifestyle is a major factor that affects your metabolism. A slower metabolism equates to fewer calories being burnt by the body and, hence, contributing to food being stored in the form of fat. Obesity happens over time when you eat more calories than the body requires. Obesity adds up to various diseases, including a high risk of diabetes, heart disease or strokes, arthritis, and certain cancers. Even losing a small percentage of the fat helps to relieve the major risk of such diseases. The gastric balloon procedure is a treatment of obesity that is temporary but helps patients lose weight by reducing the volume of the stomach. For those who are looking for efficient weight-management options without going under the knife, gastric balloons have become a very common option. Because of their excellent outcomes and minimally intrusive nature, these devices have become ever more popular.
