Government agencies suggested a temporary halt in elective surgeries amidst the COVID-19 emergency situation, which Dr. Mohit Bhandari feels is right. According to him, there are two good reasons behind this suggestion given by government agencies.
Inslee announced new restrictions today on non-urgent medical and dental procedures so the state can make sure Washington health care workers have enough protective equipment to wear as they work the front lines of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Banned procedures include (but are not limited to):
most joint replacements
most cataract and lens surgeries
non-urgent cardiac procedures
cosmetic procedures
some endoscopy
some interventional radiology services
This order does not apply to patients with heart attacks, strokes or motor vehicle accidents. Hospitals and ambulatory surgery centers may perform surgery as long as a delay or cancellation would worsen the patient’s condition. For example, the prohibition would not apply to a patient who needs a serious cancerous tumor removed, or a patient who needs their dentist to relieve pain or manage an infection.
Caffeine contributes to development of diabetes!!!
A study has suggested that caffeine disrupts glucose metabolism and may contribute to the development and poor control of type 2 diabetes, which is a major public health problem . The study examines the latest evidence, contradicting earlier studies suggesting a protective effect of caffeine.
James Lane, PhD, Duke University, describes numerous studies that have demonstrated caffeine's potential for increasing insulin resistance (impaired glucose tolerance) in adults that do not have diabetes, an effect that could make susceptible individuals more likely to develop the disease. In adults with type 2 diabetes, studies have shown that the increase in blood glucose levels that occurs after they eat carbohydrates is exaggerated if they also consume a caffeinated beverage such as coffee.
This effect could contribute to higher glucose levels in people with diabetes and could compromise treatment aimed at controlling their blood glucose. "More than 220 million people worldwide have diabetes," Editor-in-Chief Jack E. James, PhD, School of Psychology, National University of Ireland, Galway, Ireland, said.
"The links that have been revealed between diabetes and the consumption of caffeine beverages (especially coffee) are of monumental importance when it is acknowledged that more than 80 per cent of the world's population consumes caffeine daily. "Dr. Lane's review of the topic gives the clearest account to date of what we know, what we don't know, and what needs to be done – urgently!" he stated.
