Eating vegetables and protein before rice, bread or pasta can help slow digestion and reduce blood sugar spikes after meals. 🥦

Shrinking the Stomach🤯
- Endoscopic sleeve gastroplasty uses internal stitches to make the stomach smaller without external incisions, helping patients feel full sooner-but how does this procedure actually work?
WATCH!!!⬇️

Do you know your liver will NOT hurt, warn you, or complain while it goes from this to this. By the time you feel pain, you're already at the bottom.
A healthy liver is smooth and reddish-brown. Under constant stress from excess fat, alcohol, viral hepatitis (B and C), or poor diet, fat builds up inside the liver cells and turns it pale and yellow.
This is fatty liver, and it usually has no symptoms. If the injury continues, inflammation sets in and the liver starts laying down scar tissue. This is fibrosis, which is why the surface looks tougher and more textured.

With ongoing damage, the scarring spreads until the liver becomes lumpy, nodular, and stiff. This is cirrhosis, and it is largely irreversible. A cirrhotic liver can't filter blood or make proteins properly, and it carries a much higher risk of liver cancer.
The good news is that fatty liver and early fibrosis can often be reversed when the cause is removed, so the earlier you act, the better your chances of never reaching the last stage.

A few weeks ago, we lost two members of one family to electrocution. Not because current was too strong, but because of same mistakes many people still make after shock.
He touched live wire and got stuck:

They put a needle into your spine while you're wide awake, and it's actually safer than going to sleep for a C-section.
Spinal anesthesia (rachianesthesia) is a regional technique in which a local anesthetic is injected into the subarachnoid space to produce rapid, dense sensory and motor block of the lower body.
It is widely used for caesarean sections and for lower abdominal, pelvic and lower-limb surgery. In the video, the patient sits upright with the back strongly flexed, a position that widens the interspinous spaces and makes needle entry easier.
The anesthesia provider, in a surgical cap and mask, prepares the spinal needle and syringe while the patient is connected to standard monitoring (ECG, blood pressure and pulse oximetry).
After careful skin disinfection and the setting up of a sterile field, the skin is infiltrated with local anesthetic before the spinal needle is introduced.

After careful skin disinfection and the setting up of a sterile field, the skin is infiltrated with local anesthetic before the spinal needle is introduced.
The puncture is usually made at the L3–L4 or L4–L5 interspace, safely below the termination of the spinal cord (the conus medullaris, at about L1–L2 in adults). The needle passes through the skin, supraspinous and interspinous ligaments, ligamentum flavum, epidural space, dura mater and arachnoid mater.
The free flow of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) confirms correct placement in the subarachnoid space. The anesthetic is then injected slowly and the needle withdrawn, after which the sensory and motor block levels are assessed before surgery begins. Continuous monitoring remains essential afterwards, because sympathetic blockade can cause complications, chiefly hypotension and bradycardia, which must be detected and treated promptly.

Imagine feeling something MOVE under your skin.
This Patient did. What we pulled out?
A live Larva that had been growing inside for days.
This is called MYIASIS and it is more common than you think.

A BRAIN SURGERY WHILE THE PATIENT IS AWAKE. AND THE TREMOR STOPS. 👀🧠
After more than 10 years of severe tremors, the patient shows an immediate improvement during the procedure.
In some functional neurosurgeries, keeping the patient awake allows the surgical team to monitor symptoms and assess the effects of treatment in real time.

A woman with a negative blood group can have a healthy baby with a positive blood group.
The + or − refers to a protein on red blood cells: the Rh factor. Positive means present; negative means absent.
If some of the baby's positive blood cells enter her bloodstream, her immune system may see them as foreign and make antibodies. This is called sensitisation.
Those antibodies can cross the placenta and destroy the baby's red blood cells. This reduces oxygen delivery and can cause severe anaemia, newborn jaundice or even death.
The first baby is often unaffected because sensitisation commonly happens at delivery. Without prevention, later positive babies face greater risk. But the first pregnancy can also be affected if antibodies develop earlier.
Doctors check the mother's blood group and antibodies early in pregnancy.
If she has no anti-D antibodies, anti-D injections help prevent them: usually around 28 weeks and within 72 hours of delivering a positive baby. Extra doses may be needed after bleeding, injury or certain procedures.
If these antibodies already exist, anti-D cannot remove them. Specialist monitoring and treatment can help protect the baby.
