THE CREATIVE SPARK

 Sports Injury                         By - Dr. Manuj Dhayal It's the time of the year where we used to play many sports competitions and also see our favourite players from their respective sports playing. As we all know due to COVID-19 all sports league was put on hold and as the things are coming back to normal including all the sports come back to action. Leagues like NBA, NFL, IPL, etc. Have resumed their season, and with the resumption we see how players have to live in a closed condition like THE ORLANDO BUBBLE (NBA), so we are able to see how these players are able to keep themselves in best shape and try to prevent injury, which is the toughest part of a player's life. So here are some of the most common injuries which occurs in the game of basketball 🏀 . This is a general classification of the basketball injuries that a baller has to face some time in his/her lifetime.   1. Foot/Ankle Inju...

 Cancer is a disease that has crippled people for centuries. Be it mentally, physically or emotionally. Hearing someone being diagnosed with Cancer is itself more tragic than the disease itself; the whole family is suffers from cancer and its effects. Especially those who have seen neurological cancers; their whole life is centred around that person.  Early diagnosed cancers are a blessing because they can be treated surgically or by drugs, but those that are asymptomatic for a long period of time and then occur suddenly with clinical presentation, are most problematic as people tend to lose the functionality of the part where it occurs, or they either die because of the severity, but a few survive by battling it, and pediatric age group is most important age group where a cancer can mean life and death situation. Pediatric cancers generally occur in bone, blood or CNS. Majority of them occur in form of leukaemia, lymphoma, or Bone marrow pathology, sometimes osteosarcoma may ...

 Ever wondered what could be the life of people who have their sense of movement and perception, but still can't move? Or what will be their life in these situations? You have your limbs but you cannot use them! What a tragedy! There are millions of people world wide being in such situation where they cannot use their limb(s) even if they want to. These patients come under the category of plegics; where they are unable to move either one or both of their limbs, be it upper or lower; and life is tragic for such people. So an establishment called as NeuroLife came up with a solution. NeuroLife is an establishment developed by Battelle and Ohio State University, that aims to provide a full neuronal control of the limb that has lost its function. UNDERSTANDING BASIC NEUROMUSCULAR PHYSIOLOGY -  We all know how easily the hand raises to give a high five or to punch/slap someone in adverse cases. But the movement of the hand has various activities going on. The receptors at the tip o...

 The cell is the basic and most fundamental structure of the human body. It contains all the things required for the functioning.  A cell is basically the command centre. Millions of such command centres gather together to form an organism. The 1st cells to form are the stem cells. They form the basis of the human body. There are various properties of stem cells that include pluripotency, multipotency, nullipotent and totipotency.   This video shows the mitotic division of the stem cell. Note the mitotic spindle formed that leads to division. As the zygote further grows the fundamental properties of cell become more potent. This is where the cells decide their functions and behave as they are. This property of cell is called as differentiation; a process where the cell takes up a particular function or cells of particular function gather up to perform a function later turning into a tissue and organ. This event generally happens in the 2nd and 3rd week of intrauterin...

  Ever wondered what is this pattern? Some of have seen this pattern get zoom into and then repeating itself from the small outgrowths present and it continues as if there is no end to this.. This is called as the MANDELBROT Set. This set is characterised by a set of complex numbers that come in the equation of  , which does not diverge if z=0, i.e. for the function f(0) and so on. For each value of c the set becomes more stable. and thus sometimes cannot remain stable. There is something common between the reproduction of the population, a leaking tap water, and the human heart beats and neuronal transmission. The amount of times a population can grow is just a multiplication factor, for instance if u know that the population of rabbits double every year then u can easily predict the population next year. If u plot the graph of population of this year and next year, u get an inverted parabola (something similar to shown in graph below). Now if u know the growth factor u can a...

 Telovelar approach is carried out for the removal of any pathology that is present inside the 4th ventricle or the rhomboid fossa of the brain. The Space seen here behind the cerebellum is the rhomboid fossa (Fossa is just a trench or a channel). This rhomboid fossa forms a part of the 4th ventricle, which is connected to the third ventricle above by cerebral aqueduct and then runs downwards into the spinal cord as the central canal of the spinal cord, carrying the CSF (CerebroSpinal Fluid). The part behind the PONS and between the white core of cerebellum is called as the 4th ventricle. {For more information on anatomy of brain, please refer to our another blog on BRAIN}
