Baby-Led Weaning - An Interactive Weaning Experience

Season’s greetings to all the enthusiastic readers of K-Way!

If you are the new generation “Insta-Mom” with Montessori-style philosophy of raising self-sufficient and independent kids, I’m certain the catchphrase in my title sounds very familiar.

Blood Donation

Voluntary blood donors are the cornerstone of a safe and adequate supply of blood and blood products. The demand for blood and blood products has steadily increased every year. Unfortunately, the supply of blood lags far behind the demand. Annual requirement of blood in India is around 26.2 million units. The gap between supply and demand is around 13 million units/year. The main reason behind this shortage is lack of awareness regarding blood donation.

Flu Can Leave You in Silence

Deafness or hearing impairment is most often associated with old age. While old age is the most common cause of hearing loss, there are many other causes too. Repeated exposure to loud sounds, certain medications, ear infections, etc. can lead to deafness. Now and then, we do see patients coming with a hearing loss following a fever or severe cold attack. There are a number of viruses which can cause a hearing loss. Hearing loss caused by viruses may range from mild to profound and can affect one or both the ears. The inflammatory changes following these viral attacks cause changes in the delicate inner ear structures and most often lead to permanent damage.

Stand up for Safety

Head injury is a silent epidemic which claims a lot of lives and disables many more each year. The yearly number of deaths in India alone from head trauma related causes is around 1 million per year and the incidence is similarly high in other developing countries. Even though falls from heights and assault are other causes, the major proportion of head trauma in developing countries is still road traffic accidents.

Importance of Medical Insurance

Medical insurance is very important in every one’s life, and everybody should know the pro and cons before purchasing a medical insurance. Health insurances are vital because they cover a major portion of our hospital expenses and do not affect our finances during tough times.

Did you ask for Rehabilitation Services? Your Treatment Might Never Be Complete Without It!

Ultrasound Abdomen – A Great Invention to the Treasure Hunt

The abdomen is a part of the body that holds many surprises for both physicians and surgeons. The ultrasound is a major invention that has really had a huge impact in the diagnoses and treatments used in modern medicine.

Ultrasound imaging uses sound waves to create an image of the part being scanned. Since there is no hazard of ionizing radiation, it emerges as a great screening tool and a cost-effective modality to identify emerging problems in almost all patients
