  The human body is a synchronised system of various organs, their functional orchestration and a feedback mechanism controlled by the brain. One of the vital organs - the heart- is a pump that pushes blood to different body parts to provide oxygen and food. Blood travels through a closed network of blood vessels - arteries and veins- putting pressure on their walls. This pressure is called 'blood pressure' or simply BP. In simpler terms, it is the measure of the strength of your heart to meet the body's needs. What are the implications of high/low BP? BP is considered...

Electrocardiograms (ECGs) are an essential tool in the modern medical world for both diagnosing and monitoring cardiac disorders. Doctors rely on electrocardiogram devices to diagnose heart electrical activity problems. This piece will explain a channel ECG machine and discuss its many medical applications. Understanding the Function of an ECG Machine An electrocardiogram (ECG) machine is a piece of medical equipment used to monitor electrical impulses produced by the heart throughout a cardiac cycle. ECG tracings are visual representations of these electrical signals. ECG machines are used for evaluating heart health and spotting any problems by looking at the ECG trace,...

Sleep is reduced mental and physical activity followed by dynamic changes in the body and consciousness. It comprises different phases, and as you move through them, your breathing, blood pressure and body temperature drop and rise. The muscle tension usually stays the same as when you are awake - except during the REM phases, representing up to a quarter of your sleep. During these, most major muscle groups decrease significantly. But if the throat muscles relax too much, the airways collapse and become blocked, resulting in obstructive sleep apnea. Your air supply gets constantly disrupted due to sleep apnea, which...

Endoscopy is the insertion of a long, thin tube into the body for a thorough examination of an internal organ or tissue. Certain functions, including scanning and minor surgery, can also be used. Endoscopes are minimally invasive and can be placed in openings such as the mouth or anus in the body. HOW DOES ENDOSCOPY WORKS? For example in the knee or abdomen, they can be inserted into small incisions. Small incision surgery with special instruments such as the endoscope is also called keyhole surgery. Since modern endoscopy offers relatively low risk, provides detailed pictures and operates  Quickly, it has...

When you use your CPAP night after night, you introduce it into your breath, the dead skin cells on your face and the oils in your hair. Germs, grease, and oils can start to circulate in the machine and grow mold or bacteria. Your CPAP Machine will also pick up dust, allergens, and germs from the surrounding area and can introduce them into your lungs. This could facilitate the attack of an infection such as sinusitis, pneumonia, sore throat or other diseases. Irritation or nasal and ocular infections may also occur.If you have a CPAP device with a humidifier or...
