Monsoon fever can be deceptive In the current season any episode of fever should not be taken lightly as many diseases can cause fever, the commonest being viral, malaria, dengue or Chikungunya. However, fever can also be due to viral jaundice or typhoid. Here are a few tips: Unless you suspect typhoid, no antibiotics are required. Viral fever is associated with cough, redness of the eyes or nasal discharge. Dengue will have fever with rash and pain in eye movement. Chikungunya is a triad of fever, rash and joint pain. Typically the joint pain will increase on compression of the joint. Typically, the fever in malaria comes with chills and rigors and will have normal phase in between two episodes of fever. Fever in jaundice disappears once the jaundice appears. Typhoid fever is often continuous with relatively low pulse rate and with toxic feeling. Precautions No antibiotics are required unless there is a feel

 Several compounds in garlic may have anti-cancer properties, but compounds of one type in particular—the allyl sulfur compounds—are said to play a major role. These compounds reportedly help the body get rid of cancer-causing chemicals and help cause cancer cells to die naturally, a process called apoptosis. There have also been claims that garlic has immune-boosting properties that may reduce cancer cell growth and help the body fight off diseases such as colds or the flu. These claims are currently being studied. Garlic is currently under study for its ability to reduce cancer risk. However, there is not enough evidence at this time to support eating large amounts of garlic or taking garlic supplements for cancer prevention.

Do not ignore transient brain dysfunction Transient ischemic attack or TIA or mini paralysis is a brief episode of neurologic dysfunction caused by lack of blood supply in the focal brain or eye, with clinical symptoms typically lasting less than one hour, and without evidence of acute infarction or brain attack It is a neurological emergency and early recognition can identify patients who may benefit from preventive therapy or from surgery of large vessels such as the carotid artery. The initial evaluation of suspected TIA and minor non disabling ischemic paralysis includes brain imaging, neurovascular imaging, and a cardiac evaluation. Laboratory testing is helpful in ruling out metabolic and hematologic causes of neurologic symptoms. TIA or minor non disabling ischemic paralysis is associated with a high early risk of recurrent paralysis. The risk of paralysis in the first two days after TIA is approximately 4 to 10 percent. Immediate evaluation and intervention after a TIA or

Garlic Allium sativum , commonly known as  garlic , is a species in the onion genus,  Allium . Its close relatives include the  onion ,  shallot ,  leek ,  chive , and  rakkyo . With a history of human use of over 7,000 years, garlic is native to central Asia, and has long been a staple in the Mediterranean region, as well as a frequent seasoning in Asia, Africa, and Europe. Medicinal use and health benefits Animal studies, and some early research studies in humans, have suggested possible cardiovascular benefits of garlic.   Many studies found garlic supplementation reduced accumulation of   cholesterol   on the   vascular   walls of animals   and in humans. Another study had similar results, with garlic supplementation significantly reducing aortic plaque deposits of cholesterol-fed rabbits. catabolism  of garlic-derived  polysulfides  to hydrogen sulfide  in red blood cells (RBCs), a reaction that is dependent on reduced thiols in or on the RBC membrane.
