Woman as a living entity is a source of tremendous research as this
species is different anatomically, psychologically and emotionally.
Solid evidence shows that men and women do differ in social
relating, aptitude, and personality.Much of the evidence also
indicates that these differences are not simply a matter of
socialization or cultural conditioning.The common-sense view notes
actual observed differences in the ways men and women behave, but
its conceptual framework is too simplified. Significant differences
between men and women do exist.However, they must be carefully
defined and described if they are to pass the test of scientific
scrutiny.Men and women approach problems with similar goals but
with different considerations. While men and women can solve
problems equally well, their approach and their process are often
quite different.Men approach problems in a very different manner
than women.It is wrong to summarily interpret woman as they are
enigmatic.The following pages are the authors' perception of the
women in general and the sayings and analysis of great masters like
Sigmund Freud, Osho.This is a humble dedication to the woman on the
eve of International Woman's Day.

personal collections. The cover picture signifies the importannce
of tender care and caring attitude in dealing with these
unfortunate and poor patients.In the experience of the authors
careful planning, meticulous clinical examination, proper holistic
investigations and appropriate treatment will go a long way in

Death is a difficult topic to talk about. It is believed by some
that just before death all diseases leave the body. The reason for
this may be that life wants you to go unto death with full
awareness. Now, not everyone has to believe in that. But the fact
remains that if you live your life with full awareness, if you have
taken risks in life with full awareness, if you have participated
in crisis (be it natural or planned adventure), you will die with
full awareness too.You must not be afraid to discuss death. Don't
get upright about it. Instead, let this knowledge help you to live
every moment of your life fully, because every moment matters.
That's what happens when somebody knows they only have a week left.
You can be certain that they would tell you that the most important
week they ever had was that last week. Everything is a million
times more meaningful in that final week. In death you have to
encounter this fact: that the body is going; now it cannot be
retained any more. The mind is leaving you - now you are no more in
control of the mind. The ego is dissolving - you cannot even say
'I'. You tremble with fear, on the verge of nothingness. You will
be no more.
Death as a phenomenon has always baffled mankind. No one wants to
die yet every moment we are dying. In fact the medical science has
proven that every cell in the human body degenerates and there is a
constant regeneration. This degeneration or decay is nothing but
death. In fact death as a phenomenon scares us because we have the
limited understanding of life. Death is an absolutely necessary
process for life to be. It is not the enemy, it is the friend. And
it is not there somewhere in the future, it is here, now. It is not
going to happen, it has been always happening. With each exhalation
it happens -- a little death, a small death -- but because of fear
we have put it in the future.The mind always tries to avoid things
which it cannot comprehend, and death is one of the most
incomprehensible mysteries. The following pages is the authors
understanding of death which is a constant companion of a
practicing physician as well as his readings about what the great
philosophers and religion has commented on this intriguing
topic.The topics are a part of collection of lectures taken by
theprincipal author during his discourses on the topic of
understanding death.
Orthopedics as an undergraduate subject has been neglected since
the inception of this subject separate from Surgery in the
undergraduate curriculum.However seeing an increasing surge in the
number of musculoskeletal diseases it has been rightly given
additional time and weightage.However the subject being a vast one
it becomes necessary for the medical student to have a concise yet
desired understanding.The student is expected to learn everything
about certain common conditions and some not so common orthopedic
problems.The present series of topics discussed in this book throw
weight on certain topics of interest which the average medical
student will usually not cover in the usual lecture sessions in the
medical school. The topics covered in the book are topics that will
help the aspiring medical students to learn the clinical
applications of the theoretical conditions which he narrates from
the text books.These topics in essence are the tutorial lectures
taken by the author during his long career as a popular medical
teacher in orthopedics surgery across the globe.The book is
released for the benefit of Medical students and orthopedic
residents and is dedicated to them.
Anger is a very common emotion that usually materializes in
response to a frustrating or upsetting situation. Individuals who
get angry often, and who can't control their anger, are often said
to have an anger management problem. An anger management problem is
common among those who suffered an abusive or unhealthy childhood,
or it could be the result of a mental issue or chemical imbalance.
Many anger management problems are actually the result of mere
immaturity, where the individual is perfectly capable, yet
unwilling to control their nonsensical outbursts. An anger
management problem that is attribute to immaturity can result from
feelings of entitlement, jealousy, or even be caused by the angry
individual's lack of desire to grow up and handle their emotions in
an adult, civilized fashion. If you believe you have an anger
management problem, but you don't know how to manage it, read on to
learn how to control your anger problem.it is imperative to
understand that anger as an emotion is something which every living
entity has to counter if one has to have a smooth sailing in our
day to day life. It is also required to understand the causes, the
trigger points that make one angry.
We are just beginning to harness the power of the internet for the
delivery and management of education. Even without a clear
demonstration that e-learning is superior to traditional lectures;
the use of online learning provides solutions that can overcome
some problems with traditional education, especially in the area of
medicine. With increasing constraints being placed on educators,
one needs to explore other avenues for effective knowledge transfer
to trainees especially in health care. e-learning provides
flexibility in both time and location, while accessing curriculum
presented online. The harnessing of computer technology, more
specifically web-based tools open the door for collaboration
amongst both students and teachers. E-learning adds many dimensions
to the educational process and if utilized well, has the potential
to enhance both the students and instructors educational
experience. It will not replace the traditional teaching but can
certainly augment the magnitude of knowledge dispensation to the
ever increasing knowledge hunger of a student that essentially
remains the driving force to excel in thisworld.E learning has come
to stay for long.
Stress, depression and anxiety are the plagues of the modern world.
With modern day busy lifestyles, stress and anxiety are severe
troubles that make the day very demanding and if you're unaware of
how to address stress and anxiety well, then both your
psychological and physical wellness will suffer.The stress is
universal. It is ubiquitous. It is natural. It is inseparable from
life. However; if it is not managed properly then it becomes
detrimental to individual and global blossoming and even survival.
Hence it has to be managed properly. Stress, depression and anxiety
are the plagues of the modern world. The ways of stress management
have been changing as the life and the nature of stress have been
changing. Since the nature of life is vast and complex the nature
of stress is also vast and complex. Knowing how to handle stress
effectively means being continually aware that there is always a
solution. What is important is an holistic approach in which all
the facets of life are understood in its real perspective and
efforts are made to assimilate oneself with the super consciousness
that what is our essential being. Let us live life to its fullest
and not like a living corpse.
The field of osteoporosis has advanced significantly over the past
several years . By definition osteoporosis is a systemic skeletal
disease characterized by low bone mass and micro architectural
deterioration of bone tissue,with a consequent increase in bone
fragility and susceptibility to fracture risk.Research into novel
therapies in osteoporosis is more active at present than at any
time in the past. The use of bisphosphonates and selective estrogen
receptor modulators have revolutionized the treatment.General
hygienic interventions, such as dietary or supplemental calcium and
adequate physical activity are recommended for virtually all
patients.A well planned program of treatment for osteoporosis
depends on correction of all underlying nutritional and physiologic
abnormalities there needs to have a strategic balance between bone
resorption and bone formation.Hormonal prevention of osteoporosis
with estrogen is a major advance in preventive medicine. A
multifactorial intervention to reduce the occurrence of falls and
consequently fractures is mandatory.Back pain could be usually the
first indicator of underlying osteoporosis.Newer strategies to find
treatment is discussed.
As the population ages there is an increasing concern amongst the
population about the aging knee. Osteoarthritis as it iscalled
affects population without distinction of caste,creed,nationality
and gender. Understanding the pathogenesis of this debilitating
disease would certainly help in the proper management. Diagnosis is
usually never an issue as it can be diagnosed by the cardinal signs
of chronic pain, stiffness, crepitations and varus deformities.
Radiologically one finds decrease in joint space, osteophytes,
subchondral sclerosis, subchondral cysts, loose bodies amongst
others. Comprehensive medical research globally points out to
various newer mechanisms in the synthesis of pain in OA knee. The
treatment options are very many ranging from reassuance till
complex replacement surgeries which are so common these days. A
comprehensive discussion of various pathogenesis theories are
discussed and newer concepts of medical management are suggested
keeping the patients compliance as one of the important parameters.
These deliberations should lead to further research in various
conservative management options for this debilitating condition.
Diabetes mellitus is a multi-system disease characterized by
persistent hyperglycemia that has both acute and chronic
biochemical and anatomical sequel.Diabetes mellitus affects the
connective tissue in a variety of ways and so we observe a variety
of alterations in the locomotor system including neuroarthropathy,
hyperostosis, osteoporosis, cheiroarthropathy, limited joint
mobility, muscular infarctions.In this review, musculoskeletal
manifestations in diabetic patients are presented. Late
complications of diabetes mellitus (neuropathic arthropathy and
diabetic muscle infarction), consequences of metabolic derangement
inherent to diabetes (diffuse idiopathic skeletal hyperostosis,
osteopenia, and osteoporosis), syndromes that may share etiologic
mechanisms with changes of collagen and microvascular disease
limited joint mobility syndrome, palmar flexor tenosynovitis
(trigger finger), Dupuytren's disease, adhesive capsulitis of the
shoulder, and reflex sympathetic dystrophy) are described.
Moreover, carpal tunnel syndrome, gout, osteoarthritis and their
probable association with diabetes mellitus are discussed.Effective
diagnostic and therapeutic treatment strategies are discussed.
