HIV is better controlled by GOOD ARV MEDICINES IF TAKEN REGULARLARLY,NOW A DAYS GOOD LESS TOXIC MEDICINES IS AVAILABLE IF TAKEN REGULARLARLY IT INCREASES CD4 COUNT AND DECREASES VIRAL LOAD AND ULTIMATELY PERSON BECOME FREE OF INFECTION DOESNOT GET OPPURTUNISTIC INFECTIONS AND AS A RESULT LIVES A NORMAL LIFE.

In the UK, where ART is free and available in an established National Health Service, people living with HIV infection can expect to live as long as the general population if successfully treated. Our study showed that longevity depends on both restoration of CD4+ cell count to near normal levels and suppression of the virus to undetectable levels in peripheral blood.
Life expectancy of HIV-positive individuals treated with antiretroviral therapy (ART) in the UK improved by nearly 16 years between 1996 and 2008. Although some groups of HIV-positive individuals may expect to live a similar life span to that of the general population, others have reduced life expectancy due to the impact of late diagnosis and late initiation of ART. A previous study estimated life expectancies of HIV patients in the UK stratified by CD4+ cell count at ART start,but not gains in years of life in response to ART. A European study showed that successfully treated patients who attained a CD4+ cell count more than 500 cells/μl have a standardized mortality ratio (SMR) approaching .However, SMRs are more difficult to communicate to patients than life expectancies and not all patients attain a CD4+ cell count more than 500 cells/μl.The lower limit of the normal CD4+ cell count range is below 500 cells/μl, and therefore exceeding this level might be an unrealistic target for patients who had low preinfection counts. Furthermore, viral suppression is an important factor in treatment success and virological replication may have an effect on prognosis that is independent of CD4+ cell count.
We aimed to investigate the improvement in life expectancy due to CD4+ cell count restoration and viral suppression in patients on ART. We used data from the UK Collaborative HIV Cohort (UK CHIC) Study, on HIV-positive individuals in care in the UK between 2000 and 2012, to estimate life expectancy of those treated for HIV-infection at different durations of ART according to latest CD4+ cell count and viral suppression status.

Appendectomy
Appendicitis is a painful swelling of the appendix, a finger-like pouch connected to the large intestine.

It's located in the lower right-hand side of the abdomen (tummy).
The condition starts as a pain in the centre of the abdomen. It then travels to the lower right-hand side and gradually gets worse.

Appendicitis is a medical emergency that usually requires urgent surgery to remove the appendix. If left untreated, the appendix can burst and cause potentially life-threatening infections.

Bariatric Surgery (Gastric Bypass)
Weight loss surgery, also called bariatric surgery, is used as a last resort to treat people who are dangerously obese (carrying an abnormally excessive amount of body fat).
This type of surgery is available to treat people with potentially life-threatening obesity that will not respond to non-surgical treatments, such as lifestyle changes.

How to cure piles without much pain
After Italian surgeon introduced stapled hemorrhoidopexy in the early 90's and it has been a broadly accepted practice in Europe. This procedure avoids wounding the delicate perianal area thus reducing postoperative pain considerably. The leading stage of stapled hemorrhoidopexy is removal of irregularly swollen pileal tissue.

“INTERNATIONAL MEDICAL TEXT BOOKS TO TEACH HERNIA OPERATION DEVELOPED BY AN INDIAN SURGEON FROM PUNE”
A new technique of mesh-free inguinal hernia operation developed by an Indian surgeon from Pune has been included in the “Baily & Love Text book of Surgery”, an internationally reputed and widely read text book. This technique called as “Desarda Technique” is published in February 2013 in the 26th edition of this text book. This technique has now become a part of the curriculum and will be taught to all medical students and graduates.
Majority of the surgeons today use mesh for hernia surgery. This mesh is a piece of cloth prepared from the synthetic threads like Polyester or Polypropylene. This is a foreign body so naturally it is associated with many complications like recurrence, infection, rejection, migration, perforation, pain, testicular necrosis etc. Life of the patient gets affected if there are any of these complications.
A famous Pune based surgeon, Dr. Mohan Desarda, through his extensive research proved that hernia is not caused by chronic cough or job of weight lifting. He scrapped old concepts and published new concepts and also developed a new technique of hernia surgery that is accepted and acclaimed worldwide. This technique does not require any foreign body like mesh or any costly equipment like endoscopes during the surgery. Naturally, it is much safe and gives excellent results with fast recovery within a week without fear of any recurrence.

3.WHEN TO START TREATMENT IS OPTIONAL IN OUR COUNTRY INDIA ART CENTRES GIVE ARV MEDICICINES IF CD4 COUNT IS BELOW 350 BUT AS PER WHO,UK,USA TRAETMENT IS STARTED AS CD4 COUNT FALLS BELOW 500,BUT AS PER NEW RESEARCH TREATMENT SHOULD BE STARTED AS SOON AS IT IS CONFIRMED AND IT IS IN CHILDREN STARTED SOON AFTER BIRTH AS WHEN IT IS SUSPECTED AS IN NEW BORN CD4 AND VIRAL LOAD IS NOT DAIGNOSTIC BUT MORE FEW ANTIGENS DETECTED AFTER 3RD WK OR AFTER 09 MONTHS ANTIBODIES APPEAR AND TREATMENT STARTED NOT DEPENDANT ON CD4 BUT ON VIRAL LOAD IF IT IS MORE THAN 500-5000 COPIES/ML TREATMENT SHOULD BE STARTED TAKING CONSENT OF PATIENT.
4.USUALLY 03 DRUGS STARTED,TRAIL WITH 02 DRUGS IS NOT SATISFACORY AND TRAIL WITH 04 DRUGS IS NOT REQUIED AS EFFICACY SAME WITH 03 DRUGS,TWO NTIS AND ONE PROTEASE INHIBITOR BOOSTED OR 03 NRTIS.
5,INFUSION INHIBITOR LIKE RALTEGRAVIR DALUTEGRAVIR SHOWING GOOD RESULT WITH OR WITHOUT COBISTAT AND TWO NRTIS BUT IF PROTEASE INHIBITOR USED GOOD RESULT ALSO FOUND.
6.TREATMENT SHOULD BE STARTED BY A COMPETANT HIV SPECIALIST AS THESE DRUGS AR VERY TOXIC MAY CAUSE ANY SIDE EFFECT.
7.TREATMENT SHOULD BE STARTED AFTER THOROUGH CLINICAL EXAMINATION OF PATIENT AND KNOWING STATUS OF COINFECTION OF TB,HEPATITIS B AND C AND OTHER OPPURUNISTIC INFECTION AND KNOWING LIVER,KIDNEY,LIPID FUNCTION OF THE PATIENT INCLDING IRON,HAEMOGLBIN,TOTAL LEUKOCYTE COUNT ETC.
8.TREATMENT SHOULD BE CHANGED IF VIRAL LOAD INCREASE OR CD4 DOWNS OR CLINICALLY PATIENT DETEIORATES THEN DRUG SENSITIVITY CAN BE DONE IF AFFORDABLE AND GENOTYPE STUDY SHOULD BE DONE.
9.NOW A DAYS NO MORE CLSSIFICATION LIKE FIRST GENERATION, 2ND GENERATION,3RD GENERATION DRUG IS DONE IF PATIENT CAN AFFORD OR MEDICINES AVAILABLE THEN ANY GOOD COMBINATION MAY BE STARTED.
10.WHILE ON ARV GOOD FOOD,AVOIDING ALCOHOL,DRUGS,NICOTINE UNSAFE ,UNPROTECTED SEX SHOULD BE DONE,USE CONDOM ALWAYS EVEN WITH A PARTNER EXCEPT 1-2 TIMES TO HAVE PREGNANCY IF BOTH HAVE MINIMUM VIRAL LOAD.
11.TREAT TB HEPATITIS C ,B OR LUNG INFECTION OR DIARRHOEA WITH IT AND IF PERSON CD4 COUNT IS LESS THAN 200 THEN COTRIMAXAZOLE SHOULD BE ADDED AND ALL PROPHYLAXIS FOR FUNGAL,TOXOPLASMA INFECTION MAY BE ADDED.

Hernia Repair, Umbilical
A hernia occurs when an internal part of the body pushes through a weakness in the muscle or surrounding tissue wall.

An umbilical hernia appears as a lump near the navel (bellybutton) that may get bigger when your child laughs, coughs, cries or goes to the toilet. It may shrink when your child is relaxed or lying down.
Umbilical hernias are very common and affect 10% of infants and young children. They are especially common in babies who are born prematurely.

An umbilical hernia is not painful. In 85% of cases, the umbilical hernia goes back in and the muscles reseal before the child's first birthday.
