Agra (Uttar Pradesh) [India], August 18: Kidney stone treatment has quietly gone through one of its biggest shifts in years, and most patients have no idea it’s happening. A newer technique called FANS, short for Flexible and Navigable Suction Ureteral Access Sheath, is helping doctors clear stones more completely and with fewer complications, all without a single external cut.For decades, the standard for many kidney stones was either shock wave therapy, which doesn’t always fully clear larger stones, or more invasive procedures that involve making an incision into the kidney. Retrograde Intrarenal Surgery, known as RIRS, changed that by allowing doctors to reach the kidney through the body’s natural pathways using a thin scope passed through the urinary tract. What FANS adds to this ...

New Delhi [India], July 01: There’s a word most people use for everything they take in a capsule form: supplement. Iron supplement. Vitamin D supplement. Omega-3 supplement. The word has become a catch-all and that’s exactly where the confusion starts.What a supplement actually isA supplement is corrective. It is designed to treat a specific, diagnosed deficiency. Your doctor runs a blood test, finds your Vitamin D is critically low, and prescribes a high dose to bring it back to normal range. That is supplementation, a targeted intervention for a verified clinical gap.The problem is that most people are not using supplements this way. They are self-prescribing high-dose Vitamin D, Iron tablets, Omega-3 capsules, and B12 based on symptoms or a friend’s recommendation. Without a...
