MADURAI

 


MADURAI: The vast 

Vandiyur Mariamman Teppakulam

 is inching closer to its full capacity of 14 feet in spite of the peak summer, thanks to copious rain in the catchment areas of dams in Theni district.


The 

Vaigai

 river witnessed flow of water due to overflowing Majalaru and Sothuparai dams and rain water


Teppakulam from Tuesday onwards, through Panaiyur channel. An official from the engineering department of 

Madurai

corporation said that the water level has crossed 13ft and is expected to reach 14ft early on Thursday morning. They left water to flow for one full day before diverting to the Teppakulam to flush out dirt and soil


He added that water is continuously available in the tank since November 12. It went to the lowest of 2.5ft in April. “We will continue to fill the tank as 7.5cm of water level comes down in a day due to evaporation and percolatio,” the official added.

He said that they cleaned the Panaiyur channel only a fortnight ago when the water was released from Vaigai dam for wetting the parched riverbed. Water was brought to Teppakulam for a few days then. So much garbage had accumulated in the channel between Ismailpuram 1st and 12th Street in just 10 days.


Brimming water in the Teppakulam is a treat to the eyes of visitors as well as locals

REVERSING DIABETES

  Reversing diabetes  is a term that usually refers to a significant long-term improvement in insulin sensitivity in people with type 2  diabetes . People with type 2  diabetes  that are able to get their HbA1c below 42 mmol/mol (6%) without taking  diabetes medication are said to have  reversed  or resolved their  diabetes . Not all people with  diabetes  need drug therapy. A healthy eating plan and  exercise alone can be enough if the person makes significant lifestyle changes. This health condition can be prevented by following a low glycemic load  diet  (basically, a  diet  low in sugars), staying physically active, and getting regular medical screenings. If you have this type of  diabetes  the foods you eat should have a low glycemic load (index) (foods higher in  fiber , protein or  fats ) like vegetables and good quality protein such as fish, chicken, beans, and lentils. From that ...

Creatinine

  Creatinine is a breakdown product of creatine phosphate from muscle and protein metabolism. It is released at a constant rate by the body.   Creatinine  is produced from creatine, a molecule of major importance for energy production in muscles. Approximately 2% of the body's creatine is converted to creatinine every day. Creatinine is transported through the bloodstream to the kidneys. The kidneys filter out most of the creatinine and dispose of it in the urine. Although it is a waste, creatinine serves a vital diagnostic function. Creatinine has been found to be a fairly reliable indicator of kidney function. As the kidneys become impaired the creatinine will rise. Abnormally high levels of creatinine thus warn of possible malfunction or failure of the kidneys, sometimes even before a patient reports any symptoms. It is for this reason that standard blood and urine tests routinely check the amount of creatinine in the blood. Medical Definition of Creatinine Creatinine:...

Ovarian cyst or functional cyst

What is a functional ovarian cyst? A functional  ovarian cyst  is a sac that forms on the surface of a woman's  ovary during or after  ovulation . It holds a maturing egg. Usually the sac goes away after the egg is released. If an egg is not released, or if the sac closes up after the egg is released, the sac can swell up with fluid. Functional ovarian cysts are different from ovarian growths caused by other problems, such as cancer. Most of these cysts are harmless. They do not cause symptoms, and they go away without treatment. But if a cyst becomes large, it can twist, rupture, or bleed and can be very painful. What causes functional ovarian cysts? A functional ovarian cyst forms because of slight changes in the way the ovary makes or releases an egg. There are two types of these cysts: A follicular cyst occurs when a sac on the ovary does not release an egg, and the sac swells up with fluid. A luteal cyst occurs when the sac releases an egg and then reseals and f...
