Diabetes is a disease in which blood glucose (sugar) levels are above normal. Plant foods which are mostly sugars and starches (carbohydrates) are turned into glucose, or sugar, for our bodies to use for energy. The pancreas, an organ that lies near the stomach, makes a hormone called insulin to help glucose get into the cells of our bodies. When you have diabetes, your body either does not make enough insulin or cannot use its own insulin as well as it should. This causes sugar to build up in your blood. Diabetes can cause serious health complications including heart disease, blindness, kidney failure, and lower-extremity amputations. Individuals who think they might have diabetes should visit a physician for diagnosis. They might have SOME or NONE of the following symptoms like Frequent urination, Excessive thirst, Unexplained weight loss, Extreme hunger, Sudden vision changes, Tingling or numbness in hands or feet, Feeling very tired much of the time, Very dry skin, Sores that are slow to heal and more infections than usual.

Some kidney stones are as small as a grain of sand. Others are as large as a pebble. A few are as large as a golf ball! As a general rule, the larger the stone, the more noticeable are the symptoms. The symptoms as explained by General Physician could be one or more of the following, severe pain on either side of your lower back, vague pain or stomach ache that doesn't go away, blood in the urine, nausea or vomiting, fever and chills, urine that smells bad or looks cloudy. The kidney stone starts to hurt when it causes irritation or blockage. This builds rapidly to extreme pain. In most cases, kidney stones pass without causing damage, but they usually cause a lot of pain. Pain relievers may be the only treatment needed for small stones. Other treatment may be needed, especially for those stones that cause lasting symptoms or other complications. In severe cases, however, surgery may be required.

A kidney stone is a hard object that is made from chemicals in the urine. Urine has various wastes dissolved in it. When there is too much waste in too little liquid, crystals begin to form. The crystals attract other elements and join together to form a solid that will get larger unless it is passed out of the body with the urine. The stone-forming chemicals are calcium, oxalate, urate, cystine, xanthine and phosphate. Usually, these chemicals are eliminated in the urine by the body's master chemist: the kidney. In most people, having enough liquid washes them out or other chemicals in urine stop a stone from forming. After it is formed, the stone may stay in the kidney or travel down the urinary tract into the ureter. Sometimes, tiny stones move through the body in the urine without causing too much pain. But stones that don't move may cause a backup of urine in the kidney, ureter, the bladder or the urethra. This is what causes the pain.

No, Psoriasis cannot be spread from person to person. You cannot catch it from a person affected by it, and you cannot pass it to anyone else by skin-to-skin contact, explains Dr. Sadia Fatima, one of the best General Physician in Hyderabad. She further explains, you can directly touch the skin affected by psoriasis and this will not increase your risk of developing psoriasis. The immune system plays a major role in psoriasis because psoriasis is caused by an overactive immune system. In psoriasis, certain blood cells are put into action by mistake. They become so active that they set off other immune responses. The attack of one's tissues by one's own immune system is characteristic of an autoimmune disorder.
