It is a very correct definition, but what these five words don’t tell you is the wonderfulness of this concept.

Lower Respiratory Tract Infections: An Overview   Commonly known as LRTI, the infections of the lungs and region below the larynx are classified as lower respiratory tract infections. A common misconception about these infections is that they are only pneumonic infections. That is wrong since bronchitis and tuberculosis are also grouped under the umbrella of these infections. More often than not, lower respiratory tract infections affect the airways or the air sacs, which then leads to difficulty in breathing and certain other symptoms that we talk about in the next section. However, what a patient suffering from LRTI has to be wary of most is the risk of complications. Things can take a very ugly route if a patient is not careful, some of these complications can prove to be life-threatening as well. These include congestive heart failure, respiratory arrest, lung abscesses, and sepsis i.e. blood infection. Even though a majority percentage of lower respiratory tract infections is unco

 When words fail to describe the intensity of the effect mental illness entails on an individual. Therefore, to describe the horrors mental illnesses inflict upon its sufferer, we often find solace in metaphors and images. Imagine a big bad wolf living inside your head all the time whose job is to bring you down all the time. Whenever you feel even remotely happy, it whispers mean things into your ears.  Whenever you are about to step outside to see your friends, it makes you doubt their friendship, question their loyalty. Whenever you are about to go to sleep it makes you check the locks over and over again and go over every bad decision you have taken in your life. Some days it does not let you get out of the bed, shower, brush your teeth or hair. Get more information from the official website Transparent Hands Organization.

Introduction There is such a stark difference between the healthcare systems of developed and underdeveloped countries that the whole affair sounds disheartening sometimes. A hospital in Boston, Beijing, and Paris have all the facilities in the world you can think of. The healthcare systems in such countries are designed with an intent to alleviate the sufferings of the patient, as well as the financial pains associated with treatment.  Compare that to countries like Pakistan, for instance.
