Slim India Happy India is What a Patient Treated by Dr. Muffazal Lakdawala Spreads The Message

January 31st, 2010 admin

From a whooping 111 kilos to a mere 78 kilos, Nawab Malik is all determined to use his public image to spread the message of ‘slim India, happy India’. Nawab Malik gives the credit of his new found vigor to Dr. Muffazal Lakdawala and his life saving bariatric surgery. The NCP legislator admits that he was lazy before the metabolic surgery, which was the reason for the tremendous weight gain. Nawab Malik has been a State Labour Minister. Before the surgery the politician admits to the fact that he could hardly walk or move. Nawab Malik decided he needed to go for the metabolic surgery as the patient stops feeling hungry after the doctor makes changes in the metabolic system. When Nawab Malik met Dr. Muffazal Lakdawala he had already been diagnosed with high blood pressure, gout, severe joint pains and sleep apnea. All the conditions were due to his obesity and would continue to get worse if he did not lose weight.

Bariatric surgery is a surgery conducted for weight loss in dangerously obese patients. The surgery is recommended for people with a body mass index of 40 or more. It is also recommended in cases where obese people have a BMI of 35 but are also faced with serious medical conditions such as diabetes. Long-term studies have shown that the surgery not only helps in long-term weight loss but also has other health benefits as it helps the patient recover from diabetes as well as show an improvement in cardiovascular risk factors. The procedure of the surgery comprises of reducing the size of the stomach with gastric banding which is achieved by implanting a medical device or through gastric bypass surgery.

Dr. Muffazal Lakdawala performed the gastrectomy on Nawab Malik wherein the size of the stomach was reduced and his intestines were re-aligned to create a dual effect of restriction as well as malabsorption. Thanks to the life saving surgery by Muffazal Lakdawala, now Nawab Malik does not need any medications for any of his health conditions and fells much lighter. Malik always wanted to be able to walk into a store and buy designer clothes for himself. Almost 16 months after the surgery Malik feels healthy enough to become a brand ambassador for bariatric surgery. The politician is so happy with the surgery that he now recommends it to all those who really need the metabolic surgery to help them lose weight.

Chemotherapy is a general term for treatments that use chemical agents (drugs) to kill cancer cells. Many different kinds of drugs are used, either alone or in combination, to treat different cancers. The specific drug or combination used is chosen to best combat the type and extent of cancer present.

Chemotherapy drugs are given for several reasons :-

1. To treat cancers that respond well to chemotherapy
2. To decrease the size of tumors for easier and safer removal by surgery
3. To enhance the cancer-killing effectiveness of other treatments, such as radiation therapy
4. In higher dosages, to overcome the resistance of cancer cells
5. To control the cancer and enhance the patient’s quality of life…….

Types of Chemotherapy Drugs

Common types of cytotoxic chemotherapy drugs include :-

* Alkylating agents modify/damage cancer cell DNA and block the replication of DNA, therefore interfering with the growth of cancer cells…….

Other drugs used in cancer therapy include :-

1) Hormonal agents target the hormonal processes that may stimulate cancer cell growth and/or survival.

2) Biological agents affect natural processes that may stimulate cancer cell growth and survival.

3) Immunotherapy is intended to boost the recognition of cancer cells by the body’s immune system, thereby helping the body to kill cancer cells……

Blood Cancer Surgeons in India – By Internationally Experienced Surgeons

Blood Cancer treatment in India

Blood Cancer (Leukemia) – Treatment Overview

The goal of treatment for Blood Cancer (Leukemia) is to destroy the leukemia cells and allow normal cells to form in your bone marrow. Treatment decisions are based on the type and subtype of leukemia you have, its stage, and your age and general health…

Treatment for acute Blood Cancer (Leukemia)

  • Induction : -The goal of this stage is remission. Remission is a period in which the leukemia cells have been destroyed and are replaced with healthy cells. Induction is done with high doses of powerful drugs which may be given over a period of time from about a week to a month, depending on the type of leukemia. Then it takes several weeks for your body to start growing new blood cells. You probably will stay in the hospital during this time. This can take a month or longer…
  • Consolidation : -Even when tests show no leukemia cells can be found, there may still be some left. The goal of consolidation is to kill any cells that are left. Consolidation often involves the same drugs given in the induction stage, but the schedule and doses may be different. For example, you may receive the drugs in one or two 5-day cycles spread over 1 to 3 months…

Treatment if acute Blood Cancer (Leukemia) gets worse

  • Clinical trials : -People who have Blood Cancer (Leukemia) may enter a research program when they first start treatment or if the leukemia is not getting better.
  • Stem cell transplant : -Donated cells from a “matched” donor can rebuild your supply of normal blood cells and your immune system. (A matched donor is usually a family member. But many people have family members whose stem cells are not a close enough match.) Stem cells can be from bone marrow, from the bloodstream, or from umbilical cord blood.
  • Drugs : -Sometimes different drugs or different doses than those that were used during your initial chemotherapy can help…

What to think about

When leukemia has been in remission for a long time, the word “cure” is often used. Your doctor may use the term “remission” instead of “cure” when talking about the effectiveness of your treatment. Although many people who have leukemia are successfully treated, the term remission is used because cancer can return (recur). It is important to discuss the possibility of recurrence with your doctor…
