Dr. Anand Patil on Urinary Tract Infections: How to avoid urinary tract infections that plague us in winter?
Dr. Anand Patil, Consultant - Uro-Oncology, Robotic Surgery, and Renal Transplantation at Manipal Hospital Old Airport Road, emphasizes the importance of preventing urinary tract infections (UTIs) during winter. Cold weather often reduces thirst, leading to lower fluid intake, so staying hydrated is key. He also advises wearing warm, breathable clothing and avoiding holding urine for long periods. Proper hygiene, especially after using the toilet, helps prevent bacteria from entering the urinary tract. Dr. Patil recommends regular urination to flush out bacteria, which can significantly reduce the risk of UTIs during the colder months.

Dr. Devesh S Ballal on Can vaping cause cancer? Know the Truth and Health Effect Can Vaping Cause Cancer?
Dr. Devesh S. Ballal, Consultant in Surgical Oncology & Robotic Surgery at Manipal Hospital, cautions against assuming vaping is a completely safe alternative to smoking. While vaping may contain fewer carcinogens than traditional cigarettes, it still introduces harmful chemicals like nicotine, formaldehyde, and acetaldehyde into the body, which can damage cells and increase the risk of cancer over time. The long-term health effects of vaping remain under research, but the potential for harm, particularly with prolonged use, is significant. Dr. Ballal emphasizes the importance of making informed choices and advises caution when considering vaping as a substitute for smoking.

Dr. Mallinath G Winter And Arthritis: Why Cold Weather Can Worsen Symptoms And How To Manage It
Winter can exacerbate arthritis symptoms due to factors such as thicker synovial fluid, reduced physical activity, and lower vitamin D levels. The cold weather can cause joint stiffness and discomfort, while limited exposure to sunlight may reduce vitamin D, leading to fatigue and joint pain.
Dr. Mallinath G, Consultant - Orthopaedic & Robotic Joint Replacement Surgery, Manipal Hospital, suggests a proactive approach to manage arthritis during the colder months.

Dr. Pramod Krishnan on Epilepsy and seizures: Know the similarities and differences
Though often confused, epilepsy and seizures are distinct medical conditions. A seizure is a temporary electrical disruption in the brain caused by issues like infections, organ dysfunction, or low blood sugar. In contrast, epilepsy is a chronic brain disease marked by recurrent, unprovoked seizures. Provoked seizures linked to external factors do not indicate epilepsy, which requires long-term medication to prevent recurrence. Dr. Pramod Krishnan, HOD & Consultant - Neurology, Epileptology & Sleep Medicine at Manipal Hospital, highlights the importance of treating the underlying cause for provoked seizures while emphasizing epilepsy’s need for sustained care.

The importance of regular health monitoring for athletes
Regular heart monitoring is crucial for athletes, as their resting heart rate is typically lower—around 30 to 40 beats per minute—compared to 60 to 80 in non-athletes. This is due to their well-conditioned muscles, which require less effort to circulate blood. Monitoring heart rates helps athletes gauge energy use during exercise: 50-60% of their maximum heart rate burns fats, while 60-80% burns carbohydrates and other energy sources. Dr. Sunil G Kini, Consultant - Orthopaedics & Robotic Joint Replacement Surgery at Manipal Hospital Old Airport Road, emphasizes how this understanding optimizes athletic performance and training.
