Newsletter March 2023

Our Dear K-Way Readers,

This month let’s March towards a holistic approach to Woman’s health.

KWAY, March edition, brings warm greetings and best wishes on the occasion of Happy Women’s Day (8-03- 2023), to each and every woman out there.

Dear women, do you realize how special you are?

Precious as you are, your good health becomes even more precious to us.

To quote a greatly loved Hollywood movie, you are the CEO of your home and nothing shall function seamlessly without you. The absence of a person is felt only when those actions are not happening.

Aspiration Pneumonia in Elderly

Risk Factors for Aspiration Pneumonia

Elderly people are at a higher risk of aspiration than younger individuals. This is due to age-related factors and disease conditions. Some of them are mentioned below:

Digit All - A Nutritionist’s Perscpective

Women always represent the cornerstone of a family’s overall health. Thus, their well-being plays a key role in ensuring the health, safety and security of their family. Down the road, do they really take care of their own health? Most of the time the answer would be a resounding NO!

KKK Syndrome – Kai Kaal Kodaichal Syndrome – கை கால் கொடைச்சல் Syndrome

In the continuing series on what I wonder to the question “Why plastic surgeon? Why plastic surgery?” – for a particular condition, I say “Pour quoi pas?”, WHY NOT? I have the pleasure of sharing yet another interesting set of conditions which I have treated. We are in an era where EBM (evidence-based medicine) rules supreme and other EBMs, namely eminence-based medicine or experience-based medicine is generally given a cold shoulder and has a bad name. However, most do believe that EBM in whatever form can be useful to discuss and make some sense of. Today, I am going to discuss the “KKK syndrome” which every medical student in Tamil Nadu would have heard in his lifetime. To me it is almost synonymous with the OPDs we do in medicine in medical colleges as house surgeons. Much talked about and ridiculed but never taken seriously.

Role of Audiologist and Speech Language Pathologist in Rehabilitation

Audiologists are primarily hearing health care professionals. They are experts in the prevention, identification, diagnosis and management of hearing and balance disorders across the lifespan.

Urinary Incontinence
