Newsletter August 2023

Our Dear Readers,

We greet you at the dawn of the month of August, with a great news!

We have just added the tenth star to the Kauvery flag, like the U.S do in their flag!

We welcome our doctors, nurses and all staff of the new unit at Vadapalani to our great and grand Kauvery family, and extend our best wishes to them.

June-July was the season of holidays and we got to interact with many non-resident Indians living abroad.

To my pleasure and surprise, outpatients' clinics were mostly filled with our international brothers and sisters who had come to have a complete health check before leaving their motherland.

Coronary artery calcium score or Calcium score test

A calcium score test is nothing but a CT scan that gives us an idea about the amount of calcium deposited in our coronary arteries. This gives us an indication of plaque build-up in them. The plaque build-up can narrow down the arteries or even block them completely resulting in a heart attack.

Mosquito Borne Disease Prevention in Children

Vectors are living organisms which are responsible for the transfer of infections between humans or from animals to humans. According to the WHO, they cause a shocking 700,000 deaths annually. Mosquitoes, flies, ticks and lice are all examples of vectors and among these, mosquitoes are the deadliest.

Swelling of the Legs – Edema

Swelling of the legs is a common symptom that most of the patients complain about. Sometimes, the swelling starts with its appearance after prolonged travel that often gets dismissed. When the swelling becomes a bit more, then it gets attention.

Vesico-Ureteric Reflux [VUR] in Children

Vesico-ureteric reflux [VUR] is an abnormal reverse flow of urine from the bladder back to the kidneys. VUR is the most common urological problem associated with urinary tract infection (UTI) in children.  Most of the VUR cases are congenital (primary); however, they can occur following conditions causing bladder outlet obstruction (secondary).
