BMD (DEXA SCAN)

DEXA scan is the gold standard for measuring bone strength and detecting osteoporosis.

The results of the scan help to estimate your risk of fractures in different bones, for example hip, wrist or bones of the spine monitor how well treatment for osteoporosis is working

What is osteoporosis?
Osteoporosis is bone disorder characterized by by compromised bone strenght leading to increased susceptibility to fracture.

Why we should not ignore osteoporosis?
  • In India, 1 in 6 women over 50 years old will break their femur (hip), while 1 in 4 will suffer severe fractures in one or more bones.
  • It is more common than hypertension, heart disease, breast cancer.
  • In contrast with people with healthy bones, osteoporotic bones fracture easily with little or no trauma and take much longer to heal.
  • Fracture of spine and hip are not simple fractures.
  • Hip fracture:20% die within a year and those who survive require long term care.


Who is at risk of Osteoporosis?
  • All women age 45 years and older and men age 50 years and older (asymptomatic screening).
  • History of fracture with minimal trauma.
  • Low body mass (less than 127 lbs or 57.6 kg).
  • Earlymenopause women either natural or surgical
  • Individuals receiving (or expected to receive) glucocorticoid therapy for more than 3 months.
  • Individuals beginning or receiving long-term therapy with medications known to adversely affect BMD (e.g., anticonvulsant drugs, androgen deprivation therapy, aromatase inhibitor therapy, or chronic heparin).
  • Hyperthroidism, Diabetes

Audiometry

An Audiometry exam test your ability to hear sounds It is a precise measurement of hearing. For this test, you wear earphones attached to the audiometer. Pure tones of controlled intensity are delivered to one ear at a time. You are will be asked to raise a hand, or otherwise indicate when you hear a sound.

Why the Test is Performed
This test can detect hearing loss at an early stage. It may also be used when you have hearing problems from any cause.

Uroflometery

Uroflowmetry is a diagnostic test used to measure the flow of urine during urination. The speed of urine flow is measured electronically and the flow rate is calculated as milliliters of urine passed per second. Both average and maximum flow rates can be measured.

Patients should arrive for the test with a comfortably full bladder. If possible, do not empty for a couple of hours prior to the test.

For the test itself, the patient will be asked to urinate into a funnel connected to the electronic uroflowmeter, which records data about the urine flow on a flow chart. The peak flow rate, is generally used as the basis for determining the severity of any blockage or obstruction. Low flow may indicate such conditions as obstruction of the urethra, enlarged prostate or poor bladder function.

Sleep Study

  • Do you snore night?
  • Do u feel sleepy during daytime?
  • Do you wake up in the morning unrefreshed or feel sleepy during the day while traveling, watching tv or talking to someone?
  • Do you get up with dry throat?
  • Do have double chin?
  • Are you overweight?
  • Do you have uncontrolled BP or Diabetes?

If answer to one or more of the above is yes you could be suffering from Sleep Apnea

What Is Sleep Apnea?

Apnea literally means "cessation of breath." If you have sleep apnea, your breath can become very shallow or you may even stop breathing while you are asleep. This state of not breathing can occur up to hundreds of times a night in some people.

What Is Obstructive Sleep Apnea?


Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) -- also called obstructive sleep apnea syndrome -- occurs when there are repeated episodes of complete or partial blockage of the upper airway during sleep. During an obstructive sleep apnea episode, the diaphragm and chest muscles work harder to open the obstructed airway and pull air into the lungs. Breathing usually resumes with a loud gasp, snort, or body jerk. These episodes can interfere with sound sleep. They can also reduce the flow of oxygen to vital organs and cause irregular heart rhythms.

Why is it important to diagnose and treat OSA?

OSA can affect your quality of life
It is linked to other health problems, including high blood pressure, heart attack, stroke and diabetes
If you have OSA, you are at higher risk of being involved in a road collision and accidents at work
OSA can affect your ability to work The diagnosis of Obstructive Sleep Apnea is done by an overmight SLEEP STUDY, which monitors your breathing, heart activity, oxygen levels and brain activity during sleep with which you can move and walk around and it causes no discimfort. Sleep Apnea is a completely curable condition, treatment of which can be started once your sleep apnea is confirmed,
