The recently concluded Kapicon 2025, the 42nd Annual Conference of the Association of Physicians of India – Karnataka Chapter, was a grand event held in Hubballi from June 13 to 15. For me, this conference was not just about attending lectures or scientific sessions — it was an opportunity to be actively involved behind the scenes, as a part of the Souvenir Committee.

ಆಸ್ಪತ್ರೆ ಅಥವಾ ಕ್ಲಿನಿಕ್ ಗಳಲ್ಲಿ ನಾವು ನೋಡುವ ಸಾಮಾನ್ಯ ವಿಷಯವೆಂದರೆ ರೋಗಿಗಳು ರಕ್ತದೊತ್ತಡ (ಬಿಪಿ) ಔಷಧಿಗಳನ್ನು ಪ್ರಾರಂಭಿಸಲು ನಿರಾಕರಿಸುವುದು. ವೈದ್ಯರು "ನಿಮ್ಮ ರಕ್ತದೊತ್ತಡ ಹೆಚ್ಚಾಗಿದೆ" ಎಂದು ಹೇಳಿದಾಗ, ಅನೇಕ ರೋಗಿಗಳು "ನಿನ್ನೆ ರಾತ್ರಿ ನಾನು ಚೆನ್ನಾಗಿ ನಿದ್ರೆ ಮಾಡಲಿಲ್ಲ," "ಕೆಲಸವು ಒತ್ತಡದಿಂದ ಕೂಡಿದೆ," "ಮನೆಯಲ್ಲಿ ಜಗಳವಾಯಿತು," ಅಥವಾ "ನಾನು ಆಸ್ಪತ್ರೆಗೆ ಹೋದಾಗ ನನಗೆ ಭಯವಾಗುತ್ತದೆ" ಅದಕ್ಕೆ ಬಿ.ಪಿ ಜಾಸ್ತಿ ಬಂದಿದೆ ಎಂದು ನೆಪಗಳನ್ನು ನೀಡುತ್ತಾರೆ. ಆದಾಗ್ಯೂ, ನಿಮ್ಮ ರಕ್ತದೊತ್ತಡ ಎರಡು ಪ್ರತ್ಯೇಕ ಸಂದರ್ಭಗಳಲ್ಲಿ, ಕನಿಷ್ಠ 6 ಗಂಟೆಗಳ ಅಂತರದಲ್ಲಿ ಹೆಚ್ಚಿದ್ದರೆ, ನಿಮಗೆ ಅಧಿಕ ರಕ್ತದೊತ್ತಡ ಇರಬಹುದು ಎಂದರ್ಥ.

A 34-year-old female, with giddiness and mild headache for approximately 2 years. She was a mother of two kids, had uneventful pregnancies, and had no other co-morbid diseases.

ನಿಮ್ಮ ವೈದ್ಯರ ಬಳಿ ಹೋದಾಗ ನೀವು ಅವರಲ್ಲಿ ಏನೆಲ್ಲಾ ಹೇಳಬೇಕು ?

Men and women, young and old, happiness and sadness - alcohol completes the celebration and occasion. It's not unusual these days to find school and college kids consuming alcohol. Beer, Vodka, Wine, and Whiskey are commonly consumed. Parenting has been much more difficult now a days. Schools and teachers are facing newer challenges with substance abuses. As a practicing physician, I see the number of young alcoholics is on the rise; including women. The effects of alcohol on the body are significant. Almost every organ system is involved, with few irreversible damages. Significant damage is brunt by the liver and heart. The most commonly asked questions at the doctor's desk are: when can I restart my drink ? How much alcohol is safe for me? How many times a week is safe? 

A 19-year-old, male working as a farmer presented with high-grade fever > 100° F, myalgia, and anemia for 2 months duration. Treated at local hospitals for 6-8 weeks and was referred to us for further management. 15 days later he started developing joint pains involving large and small joints. He did not suffer from any arthritis in the past. No history of fever, sore throat, allergic rashes, bites, or stings in the recent past. He did not have any history of weight loss, cough, hemoptysis, abdomen pain, breathlessness, chest pain, sweating, back pain, urethral discharge, burning urination, or palpitations. No similar complaints in family or contacts. No history of tuberculosis, autoimmune diseases, or recent vaccination. 

In today's fast-paced world, unhealthy lifestyles have become the norm. Lack of exercise, frequent dining at hotels and restaurants, stressful jobs, and disrupted sleep patterns contribute significantly to lifestyle-related diseases. Among these, hypertension or high blood pressure (BP) is emerging as a major concern, even among individuals as young as 18 to 20 years. Decades ago, doctors rarely checked BP in young adults, but today, no age group can be ignored. I, Dr. Chetan K Ganteppanavar, Consultant Physician in Hubli, share my clinical experiences with young hypertensive patients, emphasizing the need for early detection and management.

Everyone would have come into a situation where a friend or family member is admitted in ICU and doctors tells - we need to put the patient on ventilator. Its really scary for anyone to hear the word ventilator. As a doctor, I have seen people going clueless about what next ? is it the end ? is there any other way ? give us half day time to decide ! do we have an alternate therapy ? are commonly seen. Understanding the basics of this wonderful life saving machine would help us in making crisp decisions in hard times.
