AUTISM SPECTRUM DISORDER
Autism spectrum disorder is a condition related to brain development that affects how people see others and socialize with them. This causes problems in communication and getting along with others socially. The condition also includes limited and repeated patterns of behavior. The term "spectrum" in autism spectrum disorder refers to the wide range of symptoms and the severity of these symptoms.
Autism spectrum disorder includes conditions that were once thought to be separate — autism, Asperger's syndrome, childhood disintegrative disorder and a form of widespread developmental disorder that isn't specified.

Causes, Symptoms and Management
Problems in social interaction and communication
- Limited eye contact and expressions
- Delay or difficulty in speech
- Difficulty in socialising
- Lack of responsive gestures
- Non engaging in play
Restricted or repetitive behaviour
- Flapping hands, rocking the body, spinning in circles
- Unchanged routines , rigid and distressed by minor changes
- Obsessive focus on single topic or objects like wheels , cars, toys but not playing with it.
- Sensory sensitiveness - Hypo or Hyper - to noises, cloth textures or food
Early signs in babies (0 - 12 Months)
- Not smiling or making any joyful expressions in 6 months
- Non responsive to sounds , not turning head to locate sounds or to their names
- Dislike being cuddled or held
- Not reaching out to be picked up
Risk Factors
- Sex of the Child : Generally boys are diagnosed 4 times number than the girl
- Family history of autism have a higher risk
- Associated Medical conditions like fragile X syndrome, tuberous sclerosis, Rett syndrome.
- Premature Delivery (26 Weeks)

Causes
Autism spectrum disorder has no single known cause. Since the condition is complex and symptoms and severity vary, there could be many causes. Both genetics and the environment may play a role.
One of the greatest controversies in autism spectrum disorder centers on whether there is a link between the condition and childhood vaccines.

DIABETES MELLITUS
Diabetes is a condition that happens when your blood sugar (glucose) is too high. It develops when your pancreas doesn’t make enough insulin or any at all, or when your body isn’t responding to the effects of insulin properly. Diabetes affects people of all ages. Most forms of diabetes are chronic (lifelong), and all forms are manageable with medications and/or lifestyle changes.
Types, Causes, Symptoms and Management
Types of Diabetes (Common)
There are several types of diabetes.
The most common forms include:
- Type 2 Diabetes: With this type, your body doesn’t make enough insulin and/or your body’s cells don’t respond normally to the insulin (insulin resistance). This is the most common type of diabetes. It mainly affects adults, but children can have it as well.
- Prediabetes: This type is the stage before Type 2 diabetes. Your blood glucose levels are higher than normal but not high enough to be officially diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes.
- Type 1 Diabetes: An autoimmune disease in which your immune system attacks and destroys insulin-producing cells in your pancreas for unknown reasons. attacks and destroys insulin-producing cells in your pancreas for unknown reasons.
- Gestational Diabetes: Develops in pregnancy to some people. Gestational diabetes usually goes away after pregnancy. You’re at a higher risk of developing Type 2 diabetes later in life.
Acute Complications:
- Hyperosmolor Hyperglycemic State (HHS)
- Diabetes Ketoacidosis (DKA)
- Severe low blood sugar level (Hypoglycemia)
Other Types of Diabetes:
- Type 3C Diabetes: This type of diabetes is caused due to any damage to the pancreas other than auto immune causes like pancreatectomy, pancreatic cancer, fibrosis of pancreas due to injury or hemochromatosis which results in defective insulin production.
- Latent Autoimmune Diabetes in Adults (LADA): Similar to Type 1 diabetes, LADA also results from an autoimmune response, but it develops much more slower than Type 1 usually over the age of 30.
- Maturity-Onset Diabetes of the Young (MODY): Also called monogenic diabetes, happens due to an inherited genetic mutation that affects how your body makes and uses insulin. There are over 10 different types of MODY. About 5% of people with diabetes fall in this category and commonly runs in families.
- Neonatal diabetes: A rare monogenic form of diabetes that occurs within the first 6 months of life. About 50% of babies with neonatal diabetes have the lifelong form called permanent neonatal diabetes mellitus. For the other 50% the condition disappears within a few months from onset, but it can recur later in life. This is called transient neonatal diabetes mellitus.
- Brittle Diabetes: A form of Type 1 diabetes that’s marked by frequent and severe episodes of high and low blood sugar levels. This instability often leads to hospitalization.
Causes
- Insulin resistance: Main cause for Type 2 Diabetes. Insulin resistance happens when cells in your muscles, fat and liver don’t respond as they should to insulin. Several factors and conditions contribute insulin resistance, including obesity, lack of physical activity, diet, hormonal imbalances, genetics and certain medications.
- Autoimmune disease: Type 1 diabetes and LADA happen when your immune system attacks the insulin-producing cells in your pancreas.
- Hormonal Imbalance: During pregnancy, the placenta releases hormones that cause insulin resistance which may lead to gestational diabetes if your pancreas can’t produce enough insulin to overcome the insulin resistance. Other hormone-related conditions like acromegaly and Cushing syndrome can also cause Type 2 diabetes.
- Pancreatic damage: Any physical damage to your pancreas — from a condition, surgery or injury — can impact its ability to make insulin, resulting in Type 3c diabetes.
- Genetic mutations: Certain genetic mutations can cause MODY and neonatal diabetes.
Chronic Complications:
- Heart and Blood Vessels (Cardiovascular):
- Coronary Artery Disease (CAD)
- Stroke
- Atherosclerosis
- Heart attack
- Others:
- Neuropathy - Nerve Affections
- Nephropathy - Kidney Failure
- Diabetic Foot - Non Healing Ulcer
- Amputation of parts
- Sexual Dysfunction

THYROID DISEASE
Thyroid disease is a general term for a medical condition that affects the functions of thyroid gland which can affect people of all ages.
Thyroid gland is a small, butterfly-shaped gland located at the front of your neck under your skin. It’s a part of your endocrine system and controls many of your body’s important functions by producing and releasing thyroid hormones, like thyroxine (T4) and triiodothyronine (T3).
Your thyroid’s main job is to control the speed of your metabolism (metabolic rate). This is the process of how your body transforms the food you consume into energy. All the cells in your body need energy to function. When your thyroid isn’t working properly, it can impact your entire body.
Types, Causes, Symptoms and Management
Types of Thyroid Disease
There are two main types of thyroid diseases,
- Hypothyroidism (Underactive Thyroid)
- Hyperthyroidism (Hyperactive Thyroid)
Hypothyroidism
Hashimoto's Disease: This could be a lifelong (chronic) autoimmune condition that can cause an underactive thyroid. It’s the most common cause of hypothyroidism in countries with wide usage of iodized salt and other iodine-enriched foods.
- Iodine deficiency: Thyroid needs iodine to make thyroid hormone, so a lack of the mineral in your diet can lead to hypothyroidism. It’s the most common in countries that don’t use iodized salt . It often causes goiter (enlarged thyroid).
- Congenital hypothyroidism: This is a condition occurs when babies born with absence or underactive thyroid gland. About 1 in every 2,000 to 4,000 babies have congenital hypothyroidism.
Hyperthyroidism
- Graves’ disease: This is a chronic autoimmune condition that causes an overactive thyroid. It’s the most common cause of hyperthyroidism.
- Thyroid Nodules:These are abnormal lumps on your thyroid gland. If the nodules are hyperfunctioning, they can lead to hyperthyroidism.
- Excessive iodine:When you have too much iodine in your body, your thyroid makes more thyroid hormones than you need. You may develop excessive iodine by taking certain medications, like amiodarone (a heart medication).
Common Causes of Thyroid Disease
- Thyroiditis: This is inflammation (swelling) of your thyroid gland. It typically causes temporary hyperthyroidism at first and then temporary or chronic hypothyroidism.
- Postpartum thyroiditis: This is a relatively rare condition that affects some birthing parents after pregnancy. It typically causes hyperthyroidism first, followed by hypothyroidism. It’s usually temporary.
Risk Factors
- Higher risk Factors:
- Female - 8 times risk than male

FERTILITY TREATMENT
Fertility treatment is focused on an individual or a couple who are unable to get conceive or unable to give birth to a child. In general any fertility treatments shall be broadly classified in to ,
1. Medical treatment
2. Surgical treatment
3. Pharmaceutical Interventions / Procedures
However homoeopathic treatment aims at natural conception through medical treatment and in certain cases homoeopathic medication helps in improving the chances of success with other procedures that relate to allopathic treatments.
Conception is a complicated process that depends on many factors in the male and female reproductive systems, including:
- Producing healthy male reproductive cells (sperm) and a healthy female reproductive cell (egg).
- Unblocked fallopian tubes that allow sperm to reach the egg.
- The sperm’s ability to fertilize the egg when they meet.
- The ability of the fertilized egg (embryo) to implant in the uterus.
For the pregnancy to continue to full term (39 to 40 weeks and six days), the embryo must be healthy, and the female’s hormonal environment must be adequate enough for the embryo to develop. Infertility can happen if something affects just one of these factors.
Who needs infertility treatment
Fertility treatments are required for people including:
Couples or individuals who are struggling and unable to conceive with regular unprotected intercourse in one year.
Couples or individuals diagnosed with medical conditions that makes them or reduce them the chance of getting conceived.
