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.

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.

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.

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.
