As per estimates, around 500,000 people in the country are affected by tardive dyskinesia. It is a condition where patients display repetitive, involuntary movements, such as tongue thrusting, lip-smacking, and rapid blinking. The disorder could be due to several factors, but it is often the side effect of specific treatments. So, the symptoms may reduce once the treatment plan is revised. Here are the treatments, foods, and lifestyle changes to manage tardive dyskinesia: Treatment options The first thing to do after experiencing the symptoms is to visit a doctor. The health expert may recommend a few treatments to manage tardive dyskinesia, such as those discussed below. Patients must keep the professional informed about the disorder’s progression after starting these treatments: INGREZZA This treatment is recommended for adults with tardive dyskinesia. Its effectiveness is not proven for children. INGREZZA must be used orally once a day or as advised by the doctor to control movements in the tongue, face, or other body regions. It reduces the effects of a specific brain chemical responsible for involuntary movements. INGREZZA may have side effects like sleepiness and heart rhythm problems. Deutetrabenazine It is another effective treatment to control involuntary movements in tardive dyskinesia patients and help them get on with their day-to-day routine work. Deutetrabenazine prevents the absorption of specific chemicals into the central nervous system, helping the nerves and muscles work naturally.  Some side effects include body pain, chills, diarrhea, and difficulty breathing. Foods choices Choosing the right foods when dealing with tardive dyskinesia is crucial for two reasons. One, patients have difficulty swallowing, and two, the right foods help keep the gut healthy and avoid issues like constipation, which can be detrimental for those with this condition. Here are the foods to eat: Fruit juices Juices of fruits like grapes and pomegranates are best for people with this disorder as they are easy to swallow.

Multiple myeloma is a type of cancer that affects the plasma cells in the bone marrow. Here, cancerous cells begin accumulating in the bone marrow and outnumber the healthy cells. This leads to huge amounts of unwanted proteins rather than helpful antibodies. About 34,000 adults in the country are estimated to be affected by this condition in 2022. However, the disease can be managed through the following treatment options, foods, and lifestyle changes: Treatment options Multiple myeloma does not have a permanent cure, but the disease and its symptoms can be managed with the right treatment. Doctors may recommend immunotherapy to treat this blood-related condition.  Immunotherapy This is a treatment method that empowers the patient’s immune system to fight cancerous cells. It is a biological therapy where certain substances derived from living beings are used for the treatment. Here are a few options: CAR T-cell therapy: This is a form of immunotherapy prescribed for multiple myeloma patients. This works on the T-cells (a white blood cell type), stimulating them to fight cancerous growth. The therapy involves drawing blood from the patient and adding chimeric antigen receptors (or CARs) to the blood, helping the T-cells target certain cancerous cell antigens. The CAR T-cells are then infused into the blood of the patient. Doctors can recommend BCMA-targeted immunotherapy for patients to enter remission. The B-cell maturation antigen or BCMA helps regulate the growth and survival of B cells, and it is heavily present in myeloma cells. Targeting BCMA to kill cancer cells can slow the progression of the disease. BCMA-targeted treatment is a form of CAR T-cell therapy. Monoclonal antibodies: These are synthetic or man-made antibodies that attack the proteins on the myeloma cell surface. The antibodies attach to the CD38 protein on the myeloma cells, killing them and strengthening the immune system to attack the cancerous cells.

One of the most vital systems in our body is the digestive system. It is responsible for the digestion of food and the distribution of nutrients throughout the body to meet the bodily requirements for energy, development, and cell repair. Issues in the digestive can interfere with the body’s ability to get energy from food. While some gastrointestinal issues can go away with healthy eating habits, other concerns may require treatment.  Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) IBS is a functional bowel disorder. This means the cluster of varied symptoms categorized as IBS is brought on by changes in the normal functioning of the digestive system. The primary sign is abdominal pain, which can develop before or after a bowel movement, and is a reliable indicator of IBS. Additionally, one may experience both constipation and diarrhea. The form of IBS can be determined depending on whether a person has diarrhea or constipation more frequently or both equally. Other IBS signs and symptoms are incomplete bowel motions, white mucus in the stool, and bloating. Nutrition is important for managing the symptoms of IBS, which includes eating low-fat, high-fiber meals and avoiding common trigger foods when the cause of the condition is unknown. Food poisoning or gastrointestinal infection are common causes. During an infection, the immune system in the gut becomes active and produces cells and proteins that make the gut nerves more sensitive, affecting one’s digestive health. The gut experiences bloating and pain as a result of highly sensitive nerves. A low-FODMAP diet, which calls for avoiding foods high in certain carbohydrates (fermentable oligosaccharides, disaccharides, monosaccharides, and polyols), has been shown to relieve the symptoms of IBS. Crohn’s disease Crohn’s disease is an inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). The portions of the GI tract that are most usually impacted by Crohn’s disease are the terminal ileum and cecum.

The thyroid is a tiny butterfly-shaped gland located at the base of the throat and is a component of the endocrine system. It produces hormones that regulate the metabolic rate, heart rate, and body temperature. Thyroid cancer develops when cancer cells form in the gland. A mass of cancer cells – the malignant tumor is capable of spreading into neighboring areas. While there are multiple forms of thyroid cancer, papillary thyroid carcinoma is the most prevalent. In approximately 70–80% of cases, it often affects only one lobe of the thyroid gland. About 20% of thyroid cancer cases are follicular thyroid carcinoma. Types of thyroid cancer Researchers have uncovered four primary categories of thyroid cancers: Papillary thyroid carcinoma If a person is detected with thyroid cancer, they are more likely to be this type. Although it frequently invades the lymph nodes in your neck, its growth is typically modest. So, the patient still stands a strong chance of recovering fully. Follicular thyroid cancer 17-20% of thyroid malignancies diagnosed around the world are follicular thyroid tumors. In addition to easily spreading into your blood vessels, it can also expand into your lymph nodes. Medullary cancer 4% of thyroid cancer cases reported are medullary cancer. It can be identified earlier in a blood test to rule out elevated calcitonin levels. The thyroid gland produces an abnormal amount of calcitonin in cancerous conditions. Anaplastic thyroid cancer It is the most dangerous type of thyroid cancer that spreads quickly to other body parts, is a rare form, and is very challenging to treat. Causes Thyroid cancer develops because of DNA changes in thyroid cells. These DNA changes, or mutations as they are known in science, command the cells to multiply and spread out swiftly. A tumor is a growth of cells that takes the form of a mass.

Dementia is a neurological disorder that progressively impairs cognitive functions affecting one’s analytical, reasoning, and memory skills. There is no cure for the condition, and it is only possible to improve the quality of life with suggested treatments, changes in nutrition, and daily lifestyle. For this, one must be able to learn and identify early dementia signs for a thorough diagnosis. Here are 9 noticeable signs and symptoms of the neurological disorder to help promptly diagnose the condition. Trouble with memory Dementia primarily affects the brain’s ability to retain information, impacting short-term and long-term memory. Note that there is no consistent or recognizable pattern here. A person who develops dementia will struggle with memory loss and reduced cognitive, analytical, and reasoning skills, impacting daily routine. Memory lapses can start with isolated events where one struggles to recall important things or remember them later in the day. Confusion Lapses in retaining information will also create a lot of confusion. One might forget how to do a familiar task or swiftly adapt to a familiar situation. A person might even ask queries and repeat the question, forgetting it has already been answered. These are all early signs of cognitive decline, and the severity of these symptoms will vary from person to person. Increased disorientation Dementia progressively impacts a person’s ability to navigate, even if one is accustomed to the location. Disorientation can happen at home or outside with symptoms like forgetting the way home from the supermarket or losing a general sense of direction. As the condition worsens, one might struggle to follow or remember simple instructions for navigating. It is also possible to experience trouble adjusting and adapting to the surroundings in general as one loses general awareness. Even gauging distance can become difficult due to reduced awareness. Repetition Repetition is a common sign of developing cognitive problems.

Menstruation is a natural body process where the lining of a woman’s uterus begins to shed and create a discharge of blood and other fluids. It is mainly triggered by hormone changes that occur as part of a monthly period cycle. Women can use several feminine hygiene products as per their preference to prevent the discharge from leaking. Here are the top six period products readily available in the market. Tampons Tampons are the most convenient, readily available, and widely used period products for absorbing menstrual discharge. These small cotton tubes mixed with wool are directly inserted into the vagina to prevent blood from leaking out. Cotton is an excellent absorbent material and does not irritate the organ’s lining. Tampons are use-and-throw products that come with applicators that help insert them correctly so one does not feel pain or discomfort. They are available in different sizes to absorb light, medium, or heavy periods, depending on the intensity of the menstrual cycle. But irrespective of the flow, doctors recommend changing tampons every four to six hours to keep the area clean and avoid the risk of a bacterial infection. If one wears a super-absorbent, heavy-flow tampon overnight, they should remove it and clean the area first thing in the morning. A pack of tampons can cost between $4 and $9, depending on the brand and quantity. Sanitary pads and napkins Sanitary pads and napkins are the second most widely used period products and a sustainable alternative. One-time-use cotton pads can be worn inside the undergarment and positioned in place to absorb the discharge. They come in different shapes and sizes and are made considering the intensity of the flow. Depending on the quality of the product, pads can cost anywhere between $2 and $8 per piece. Budget sanitary napkins are one-time-use cloth pads that can only be placed over the undergarment.

Sunglasses are a must-have accessory for whenever one steps outside, especially on a sunny day. A good pair protects the eyes from the harmful rays of the sun. However, choosing the best glasses requires a bit of consideration. For starters, one must understand the dimensions of their face and its shape to find the accessory that compliments their features. So, here is all one should know about choosing sunglasses according to the face shape: Checking the size To understand the shape of the face, one must first determine its size, which can be measured in two ways: using a card or a measuring tape. If one chooses a measuring tape, they must take the following steps: – Measure the face from one cheekbone to another – Figure out if the chin is rounded or sharp – Evaluate the length of the face, starting from the forehead to the chin – Measure the width of the forehead If using a card—a credit or debit card, here is what one should do: – Stand in front of a mirror – Hold the card vertically and place one of the tips in alignment with the center of the nose – Place the other tip toward the edge of the eye – One can consider their face small if the card goes beyond the corner of the eye. When one has a medium-sized face, the card may touch the corner of the eye. But if the card does not reach the corner, then they have a large face. Popular types of sunglasses Aviators: One of the most popular sunglasses types, aviators typically work well with all kinds of outfits. But, if one is aiming for a classy and chic look, they can opt for these oversized frames as they make for an excellent accessory.

Purchasing a car is a significant financial investment that requires careful consideration. Aside from the fundamental aspects such as safety, performance, and esthetics, it is also important to take into account its current resale value.

Using banners is an efficient way to promote a business and its offerings. The design of a banner can significantly influence how potential customers and clients perceive a company and its offerings, so it’s necessary to get it right. Elements such as visual appeal, presentation of information, and amount of information conveyed all play a key role. To help businesses improve their banner designs, here are some common mistakes to avoid. Incorrectly spelled words and typos Typos, misspellings, and grammar mistakes represent the rookie errors one could make while designing a banner. Typos leave a wrong impression on viewers, especially when they see it on a reputed site. Additionally, such mistakes can completely negate all the effort that copywriters, designers, publishers, and media teams put into conceptualizing, ideating, and creating a banner. Spelling mistakes also badly derail the messaging aspect of a banner. For instance, consider a situation where the term “mother’s destiny” on a healthcare-based product is misspelled as “mother’s density.” The audience will simply not get what the banner is trying to convey. Moreover, typos and grammar errors on a banner also make the viewing audience feel that the business does not care enough for its image in the public eye. If that is the case, it is perceived that the company would not care about its customer’s interests and grievances later too. To avoid this issue, creators must ensure that at least two or three copyeditors review their banner’s text. Irrelevant poor-quality images Visual content is usually a sure-shot way to engage audiences. Images and videos do more to catch hold of audiences’ attention than text-based content. A person’s eyes first land on the images on a banner. As it is integral to a banner’s success, poor-quality images (or irrelevant ones) can severely disappoint a viewer. Additionally, people would not bother to read the text on a banner if the image quality is inferior.

Sleep is an essential part of daily routine. As you rest and relax during the night, the body carries out repair and restoration processes to help you stay healthy. The position and level of comfort while asleep can affect this process. Certain sleeping positions may cause or worsen pain, exert stress on the spine, or increase stiffness in the back. Here is a look at how sleeping positions can affect sleep: Finding the best sleeping position When it comes to sleep, there is no one-size-fits-all solution. Your ideal sleeping position depends on factors such as your health, lifestyle, spinal alignment, and comfort. However, sleeping on the back or side is generally considered more beneficial than sleeping on your stomach. This is because your spine is better supported and balanced in the former, making room for pressure relief and muscle relaxation. Sleeping on your side A whopping 60% of adults sleep on their sides. For children, it is common to alternate between different sleeping positions, but as the flexibility of the spine decreases, there is a clear preference for side sleeping. Sleeping on the side is associated with several health benefits, like promoting healthy spinal alignment, reducing pain in the neck and the back, and decreasing the risk of heartburn and snoring. This makes the position popular among pregnant women and others with acid reflux, back pain, and sleep apnea. For ideal spine alignment, doctors recommend using a pillow or a blanket between your knees and a thicker pillow that matches the distance between your neck and your shoulder under your neck. According to experts, sleeping on the side with a well-supported spine is beneficial for pregnant women as it relieves the pressure on the belly. This also improves blood circulation in the body. Ideally, sleeping on the left side facilitates blood flow to the fetus, uterus, kidneys, and heart.

One can almost hear the jingling Christmas bells and see the twinkling fairy lights with Christmas not that far away. With it comes the exchange of gifts—an indispensable part of Christmas celebrations. Choosing a gift is about understanding what the receiver wants and likes and combining visual appeal with utility. To help one narrow down the best options, here are a few gifts that are often returned and, thus, should be avoided: 1. Video games Although buying a video game is a good idea for gamers, if one does not have access to the receiver’s game collection, they may end up gifting a game that the receiver already has. Moreover, if one does not have a fair idea about video games, they may end up buying the wrong game, which may not be useful for the recipient. So, it is a good idea to avoid buying a video game if one is unsure of the exact game the recipient wants. 2. Shoes Few things are more pleasant for fashionable individuals than being gifted a pair of elegant shoes. However, buying the right pair of shoes involves many considerations. First, one would have to ensure that the type and design of shoes are in accordance with the recipient’s preferences. Further, one shoe size definitely does not fit all, so shoes of the wrong size would be returned as a Christmas present. 3. Scented candles Scented candles are perhaps among the most popular Christmas gifts. But candles with an overwhelmingly strong fragrance or those with a scent the recipient does not like can make the gift stay unused. Alternatively, one can consider gifting a loved one a scent diffuser for Christmas, as they can add the fragrance of their choice to it. 4. Clothes Gifting clothes is usually risky, as one would have to consider factors like the size of the receiver, the type of clothing they like, and whether they already have similar options.
