What is KD? An uncommon disease resulted due to immune hyperactivity, following infectious disease, or any condition which triggers the immune system. Medium-sized arteries throughout the body get inflamed here. So, this can be identified as an Acute systemic vasculitic disease. Prevalence of KD This is prevalent chiefly among infants and children age six months to 4 years. It can be seen that teenagers are also affected by KD. Besides the above-mentioned population, even among adults, KD can rarely be identified. How is KD connected with cardiovascular disease (CVD)? The most common and severe complication of KD is CVD. Here, 1/3 of patients with KD is able to get CVD within six weeks of illness. This can be identified by an echocardiogram or an electrocardiogram (ECG) and is due to aneurysm of coronary arteries, which results in myocardial ischemia. In severe cases, myocardial infarction can occur, and it causes failure of the contractability of the heart. Abnormal val...

Coronavirus disease, recently well-known epidemic, is an infectious disease caused by COVID-19 or novel coronavirus, a respiratory virus that can infect the whole human respiratory tract which consists of both upper and lower respiratory tracts, though most of the respiratory viruses only infect either the upper or the lower respiratory tract. This virus which affects humans via both respiratory and faeco-oral pathways is so life-threatening that it can bring us to death. As the recent experiments have shown, this virus that spread from one person to another through the air, can exist alive on lifeless surfaces for a very little period (for several minutes)  which differs according to the surface. What is the way, COVID-19 acts on our respiratory system?  During inhalation of the air, the virus can enter our respiratory tract through the nose, if the virus is present in the surrounding. After the viral reaching the alveoli, it is attached to a specific rec...

Introduction  Type 2 diabetes is a disease characterized by chronic hyperglycemia resulting from peripheral tissue resistance to insulin action, deficient amount of insulin secretion, and excessive glucagon secretion. Mostly, increase blood glucose level can be resulting from increased carbohydrate intake, decrease peripheral tissue glucose intake(insulin resistance), and decrease insulin secretion.  IF fasting blood glucose level more than 126mg/dl or random blood glucose level more than 200mg/dl; usually diagnose as diabetes  Causes  Inheritance factors; several genes variant involve beta-cell function and insulin resistance.some of these genes have a risk for type 2 diabetes.  Environmental factors; low weight birth, impair glucose intolerance in later life, impair beta-cell development in early life, because of these reasons predisposing to diabetes in later life.  Beta-cell dysfunction; when there is no adequate insulin sec...
