Kidney Infection

Definition of Kidney Infection

Two of the most common kidney disorders due to infections are glomerulonephritis and bacterial pyelonephritis (pyelos means pelvis of the kidney).

Description of Kidney Infection

Glomerulonephritis

Acute glomerulonephritis is an inflammatory disease involving the renal glomeruli of both kidneys. It is thought to involve antigen-antibody reaction which produces damage to the glomerular capillaries.

Chronic glomerulonephritis is a slowly progressive disease characterized by inflammation of the glomeruli, which results in sclerosis, scarring and, eventually, renal failure. This disorder usually develops insidiously and without symptoms, often over many years.

Acute glomerulonephritis usually follows a streptococcal infection of the respiratory tract or, less often, a skin infection such asimpetigo. However, most often it is due to an allergic or immune response to infections in other parts of the body.

There are many different kinds of infections that lead to glomerulonephritis, includingpneumonia, syphilis, malaria, hepatitis, andmeasles. If the cause is not treated immediately, or adequately or kept on antibiotics for a long enough period to eliminate the infection, then the disease continues to progress. Chronic glomerulonephritis also may be caused by structural abnormalities or systemic disorders.

If the disease is still present after one to two years, it may be considered chronic. This occurs in a very small percent of patients. Typically, the damage to the kidneys continues to progress, but so slowly that the patient is without symptoms. A normal life may be possible for 20 to 30 years, until the kidneys can no longer function. At that time, a kidney transplant or dialysis is necessary.

Pyelonephritis

Pyelonephritis is an inflammation of one or both kidneys with variable manifestations. It may be acute, relapsing or chronic. The complications of this disorder are hypertension, chronic infection, renal insufficiency and renal failure. The course is extremely variable but typically the chronic disease progresses extremely slowly, with patients having adequate renal function for more than 20 years after onset.

Most cases of this condition are caused by bacterial infection. Infecting bacteria usually are normal intestinal and fecal flora that grow readily in urine. There are certain conditions that increase the likelihood of such an infection which include scars from previous infections, urinary tract infections, abnormal growth of the prostate gland, kidney stones, tumors, stagnation of urine due to backflow from the bladder, diabetesmellitus, trauma and even pregnancy.

Mobile packages in Pakistan spoiling students’ character

Talk to friends whole night free, good night package browse or download from internet midnight to morning in 5 rupees, crazing night packages, night SMS packages, etc these are the cellular companies night packages for the users to talk with their friends. These are the packages to attract the student community.

 Its reality that all over the world cellular companies give special discount rate offers during off peak hours when traffic is low. But the night packages and offers in Pakistan are too much. Every cellular company offers lots of packages at night timings and also on weekend, which are now spoiling the character as well as health of students.

Everyone knows the reality of night mobile packages in Pakistan. There is a trend developed among young generation to talk with opposite gender (boyfriends/girlfriends) via night packages, which was obviously developed by cellular companies. It was in observation that students talking on mobile phones whole night as usually the timings of these packages start after midnight. Here one thing is very important that the advertisements of late night packages of different companies are very much attractive to students and promoting girlfriend/boyfriend culture in Pakistan, which is not our culture.

Prof. Dr Muhammad Irfan said that late night packages are spoiling the character of students as first they started to talk with boyfriend/girlfriend on different kind of matters and topics but after the few days talking they haven’t anything new to discuss. Then they talk on the matters which they should never talk with each other, at that time they lift the curtain on all the limitations.

Bilal a physiatrist said that late night packages are responsible for many mental and physical diseases among students. He further said “sleepless nights are very unhealthy for human body and this may cause serious mental disorder among students if they keep using late night calling packages”. He believed that late night talking on mobile phones with opposite gender surely lead them to adult talking and it also very much harmful for their physical health.

Last year a resolution was unanimously passed by the Punjab Assembly about the banning of late night packages which was tabled by Ms. Samina Khawar Hayat. But there is no action was observed in this regard. Government and Pakistan Telecommunication Authority should do some actions regarding it. The advertising campaigns of these packages should be revived according to our culture and teachings.

What parents should do to control their children from the harmful affects of mobile phone packages. First of all one of the important thing is that, parents should always keep busy their children in healthy activities. When they are free from study provide facilities about the healthy leisure activities like different sports, family parties, gatherings and function, going to parks, etc. Parents should set the schedule of their children in such a way that have lots of leisure activities with studies. When students busy in healthy activities they obviously not have time to waste in futile love on cell phones.

Some parents think that children should not take cell phones. But it would fell them in complexity and depression because now every student has mobile phone and they should also feel that their parents have not faith on them. It doesn’t mean to give mobile phones to your school going child. Parents should make sure that students should not take mobiles with them during study hours. Parents should keep an eye on there children mobile activities, but don’t be a mobile inspector but just like a friend check there mobile contacts, received calls and text messages or without taking it in their notice. Parents should always guide their children regarding this in a friendly manner not like a dictator.

10 Blunders Dieters Make

You’ve already heard the many variations on this advice. As a dieter, you know what you’re supposed to do to succeed. But what about the things you’re not supposed to do?

Did you know, for example, that drinking diet soda can make you fat? And so can eating low-carb protein bars and eliminating fruit! Here, for a refreshing change of pace, are the top 10 things you shouldn’t do if you want to lose weight and keep it off long term:

1. Eat too little or infrequently. Keep moods and energy up, hunger satisfied, and metabolism in high gear by eating three meals and two to three snacks a day. Don’t skip breakfast!

2. Eliminate all fruits. Extremely low-carb diets that forbid fruit are punishing and invite cheating. Stay on track with moderate portions of fiber- and nutrient-rich strawberries, raspberries, blackberries, kiwi, grapefruit, or peaches.

3. Eliminate fats. Several studies at Harvard and elsewhere prove that low-fat diets result in weight gain. To lose weight, you need to increase your consumption of good fats (monounsaturated or polyunsaturated fats).

4. Get snacks out of your kitchen. Snacking helps with weight loss. Make sure you replace commercial baked goods, candy, chips, crackers, cookies, and pretzels with healthy snacks such as hard-boiled eggs, cheese, celery, nuts, sugar-free gum, homemade “slow-carb” bars and muffins, protein shakes, cucumbers, yogurt, and sugar-free JELL-O.

5. Splurge away from home. Your healthy eating program is a way of life. Try to stick to your new behaviors and habits everywhere you eat–at restaurants, friends’ homes, and while traveling.

6. Consume lots of artificially sweetened foods and beverages. Artificial sweeteners trigger cravings for additional sweets in some people. Others gain “false fat” or bloating caused by the body’s inability to digest sugar substitutes.

7. Count calories. Hormone (insulin) levels, not calories, are what determine your metabolism — the rate at which you burn fat. Eat balanced meals to keep your insulin levels steady and your metabolism working efficiently.

8. Eat lots of commercial low-carb products. Many companies have jumped on the “low-carb” bandwagon with high-calorie, low-nutrition snack foods that will not help you change your eating habits or lose weight.

9. Adopt a rigorous exercise routine. Exercise is important, but daily activity that you enjoy and can sustain over a lifetime is more important than killer workouts that are hard to stick with. The name of the weight-loss game is adopting habits that become second nature.

10. Load up on protein, eliminate carbs. Protein-loading has serious health risks, and few people can stay on radical high protein, low-carb diets long term. Switch to a balanced diet that features healthy amounts of protein balanced with lots of high-quality “slow carbs” — carbohydrates that convert slowly into blood sugar.....read more........

Humanity's High Hopes for Our Robotic Offspring

Why is nobody scared of robots anymore? It seems like only yesterday we could barely get the popcorn to our mouths, so atremble were our puny fingers at the sight, and the thought, of the Terminator. On the written page, Isaac Asimov was spending an outsize chunk of one of history’s more prolific careers wondering, and worrying, about the line between man and machine, both where and whether it could be drawn. The whole gosh-darn concept of “the uncanny,” supposedly under pinning much of human fear, was described—at the term’s coining in 1906 by psychologist Ernst Jentsch—as “doubts whether an apparently animate being is really alive; or conversely, whether a lifeless object might be, in fact, animate.” Robo-fear, he might just as accurately have titled it, if people had talked like that back then and if the relevant Japanese hair-metal band had traveled back through time to grant its permission.
But our robo-fear, all of a sudden, has gone away. Robots in movies these days are too busy finding true love and overcoming adversity to use the barrel organ of machine guns in their chests. Bearded thinkers in the snowy North east no longer pause for hours before animatronic window displays, conducting frantic inventories of their inner fauna for something that might pass for a spark of ineffable humanity. Even blue-collar types who once ranted and wept into their beer about the very real possibility of a robot stealing their assembly-line jobs have retargeted their panic onto the denizens of Bangalore and Guangzhou. It’s not that we’ve somehow become braver as a species. No, it’s only robots that we are no longer scared of. Which is mysterious when you think about it, given that all those old robo-nightmares are coming true before our eyes.
I suppose I shouldn’t overgeneralize. If you’re a jihadist hunkered on a Waziri crag—or if you’re planning to attend a wedding in the region—killer robots in the sky are a new and quite valid concern, and I bet you worry about them. Oh, and academics, including the ones that actually design and construct robots, are more worried about them than ever. “Scientists Fear a Revolt by Killer Robots” blared a headline in The Sunday Times of London, crystallizing the minutes of last year’s International Joint Conference on Artificial Intelligence in Pasadena.
But the rest of us, the people—we’re listening with a new equanimity to news reports of the EATR (Energetically Autonomous Tactical Robot), which sustains itself indefinitely on the battlefield by the scavenging and consumption of “organic material,” particularly when Robert Finkelstein, the president of Robotic Technology, assures us the EATR is “mostly vegetarian.” We have robot vacuum cleaners living in our homes, right under our roofs, and never think to accuse them of sleeping with our wives. Most tellingly, we stare at the innovations of someone like robotics mastermind David Hanson, with his warm, witty, seemingly flesh-covered cyborgs, and no longer feel that 20th-century chill, that foreboding, that dizzying uncertainty as to whether what we are seeing belongs to us or to them, is a “you” or an “it.” (All the robots in the related gallery are products of Hanson’s robotics facility in Richardson, Texas—judge for yourself.)

The world in my Pocket

Nokia 5800 Xpress Music arrived at last.  The Nokia's tardy entry into the (modern) touch screen phone space, and we've gotten some quality face time with the device. Appropriately nicknamed the Tube, the device has a number of Nokia peculiarities that could appeal to certain sensibilities, but probably won't be taking a big bite out of existing touch phone market share -- at least in the S60-phobic United States. Let's dig in.

Hardware

Resistive touch screen, huh Nokia? But certainly wouldn't say impressed. Nokia claims the decision was made to appeal to the world market, particularly Asian countries that prefer handwriting recognition to keyboards. Hence the stylus input option. It doesn't ruin everything for those of us that would rather tap with our thumbs, but means pushing that much harder on the screen, and using the tips of your fingers when you type instead of the flat -- knocking off a good 5 wpm or so in the process -- we'll talk more about software keyboards in the next section. There's also a plectrum (guitar pick) included that can hang from a wrist strap if you don't want to smudge the screen and don't feel like sliding out the stylus.

The LCD itself is certainly impressive, at 640 x 360, but colors and brightness aren't complete knockouts. Purists will enjoy the dull screen surface, which certainly cuts down on glare, but casual users often prefer glossy screens for watching movies, something this aspect ratio is very well suited to.

There's a very, very loud speaker in the back. It's not the clearest thing in the world, but if you want to share a song or something with a friend, they'll certainly hear it.



The 3.2 mega pixel camera focuses well and takes great pictures in daylight -- indoors is likely a different story, as with most camera phones, but there's a rather powerful dual LED flash to help out with that.

All of this -- in addition to things like GPS, WiFi and a side-loading microSD slot (there's a free 8GB card included) -- are wrapped up into an elongated, chubby package, hence the Tube moniker. We'd hate to have something of its shape and thickness in a tight jeans front pocket on a regular basis, but we must admit that it's very comfortable to hold and use with a single hand, something that can't be said for all touch screen phones.

Software

It's S60, so if you were hoping for something else you'll be sorely disappointed. Nokia's done "just enough" to turn the traditional interface into a touchable one with version 5.0, sizing up icons, adding finger-friendly buttons in lieu of traditional menu items and so forth. What Nokia hasn't quite figured out is consistency, requiring double taps in some places, single taps in others. Scrolling through most lists requires dragging a scroll bar, pulling down as the list flies up, but the browser has touch and drag scrolling. Nothing's too frustrating or unreasonable, but this is no seamless experience.

What's new is a touch-sensitive button above the screen that drops down the Media Bar for access to music, movies, photos, the browser and sharing. Not life changing, but quite convenient. There's also a new home screen with a "Favorite Four" of sorts across the top and little else. Tap that friend, and you can get a quick look at recent calls, messages and even related RSS feeds. Luckily, the traditional S60 home screen is also available.

For text input you have four options: handwriting, mini QWERTY keyboard, full screen QWERTY and alphanumeric keypad. The first two are stylus-based (that mini QWERTY is truly mini), while the other two are only available in landscape and portrait modes, respectively. Like we said in the hardware end of things, the resistive touch means using the tips of your fingers instead of the pads, which we find a tad frustrating, but the keyboard in landscape mode is truly amazing. The handwriting recognition looks good enough, but we revert to a 2nd grade writing level whenever we pick up a pen, so that stylus is staying firmly in its holster.

Now coming to the touchable browser is a step up over existing WebKit implementations on Nokia's other handsets, since the tap to zoom function is slow and unreliable -- and no, you can't select text from web pages to copy and paste. Panning around the page is also jittery, perhaps a tad worse than the G1 -- nobody has managed to pull off iPhone smooth yet in this department. We were using a slightly early software build, so some of these problems might be fixed in the final version, but it wasn't encouraging. Still, there's no denying the advantages of viewing the web on a 640 x 360 LCD.

By testing accelerometer-based driving game, but it was overly sensitive and no-fun-at-all -- though they are trying but that wouldn't be a hard fix. The graphics looked pretty good, though. Movies are potentially this phone's killer app, but you'll have to do the conversion just right to get smooth playback at full resolution.

Conclusion

If you haven't picked it up by now, Nokia isn't going after the power users here. The phone will be marketed under Nokia's "Live" banner, and really concentrates on the most basic communications -- calling and texting -- with a whole bunch of multimedia piled on top. Nokia's Comes with Music helps on that end of things, and the screen certainly helps with video, but this is no iPhone when it comes to solid media integration or full-featured media player applications. On the communication side, we're sad to see Nokia almost burying some of its S60 advantages. Everything's still there, but Nokia didn't put the grunt work in necessary to really take advantage a next-generation interface as it relates to keeping track of emails, social networking, IM and the correspondences of more than four people. For those tech-junkies who want the world in their pocket this is the phone to go for.

Google finally deletes all Wi-Fi data

Google has finally deleted all of the private data it illegally collected while scanning UK Wi-Fi connections.
Google was first caught out collecting data from unsecured Wi-Fi connections in May, but the Information Commissioner's Office only took action last month, requiring the company to delete the collected data and submit to an audit.
A first block of the data that was held on Google's servers was deleted at the end of last month, while data that was still on the camera cars took longer, as the company was wary about deleting anything that was required as evidence by other countries.
"We are profoundly sorry for mistakenly collecting payload data in the UK from unencrypted wireless networks," Google said in a statement. "As we have said before, we did not want this data, have never used any of it in our products or services, and have sought to delete it as quickly as possible."
"We can confirm that the UK data has now been deleted, and that this has been independently certified," Google said.

Human Kind and Information Technology

Human kind is the most intelligent and evolving species to have inhabited this world. It is therefore always seeking knowledge, convenient ways of communication and development in general.

It is the result of this quest that in the early 40's the precursor of modern day computing machines was first invented. Ever since there has been no letting in the pace of progress in this exciting field which has profound effects on almost all the aspects of the modern day human beings. The most important and sought after offshoot of the computer or information technology is the internet. It opens up unlimited vistas of knowledge in a fraction of second for the user. The possibilities are literally limitless.

One major branch of internet is the E-commerce. In its early days, it existed simply as a form of facilitation for commercial and financial transactions. Since then it has really transformed.

Technologies such as electronic data interchange and electronic funds transfer were introduced and they allowed the freedom to the businesses to communicate documents such as invoices via electronic network systems, securely. The growth of telephonic banking, credit cards and automated teller machines are all too well known and form the back bone of e-commerce. There are many vistas in this regard which are growing as per the users need and information technology is providing an efficient and secure platform to them.

The major electronic payment systems that govern current online transactions are credit cards processing systems and electronic payment gateways. The electronic payment gateways facilitate financial transactions online by authenticating credit cards and online bank accounts authorizing transactions. They connect the merchant's website and the credit card companies. In doing so, the user has the liberty of doing such transactions from the safety of the home or office and avoiding the physical hassle of going to the financial institutions or the vendors.

E-banking and business of many sorts is now a normal occurrence and part of the daily routine of a sizable population.

The internet has eliminated the distances between friends and family. The internet provides web services of different sorts like, social networking services, chatting services with real time interaction and portals providing free lance business opportunities.

In the beginning no one had envisioned the growth spurt of the internet and its allied e-commerce. The web browsers are instruments which have the ability of finding and organizing the information quickly and thus have become indispensable tools in the hands of common people.

The web was lately considered a medium for sharing mere text files. Now with advanced user interface, animations, video and radio streaming the internet has really evolved.

It is professed that the computer technology especially the internet has a more profound effect on people's lives as compared to the radio or television. This magical box, the computer with its flexibility has become one stop solution to all the media needs of a modern day person.

So it can be safely said that the computers and the information technology are a part and parcel of the modern day man's life and in the years to come are going to flourish even more.

Why we can't live like as our childhood?

Ah ha!! Good old memories of our childhood, so much to do everyday but those things never makes us tense small thing to care about no worries just peace and peace...
We just make friends and lots of friends no time to make enemies. We got love to share with people and things like our toys .Even when ever we got time we make things with clay or mud small toys without proper shape and size. We make castle with sand and after playing with them we just leave them for other to play with them. We know only one thing that is love, there is no time for hate n selfishness... we don't talk about casts and religions. Everyone is equal for us... nobody ask us from where we belong.
I still remember my first day at school, my friends in school. How can I forget them??
They are my strength in the new world they are my treasure. We share our sorrow and worries with each other and try to solve there problems. Play different games with each other because there isn't competition in between us, there isn't any hate and jealousy in our hearts. How sweet those days are? We never try to harm any one.
But sadly today we lots mostly all that things we lost our friends the people we care about the most...
We don't have time to meet with them, we forgot how to love? We have dumped each and every thing of our childhood. We thing we can try new things because we are grownup. We can't play with toys.
But the interesting fact is we never forget the childhood memories we always want that time back because today we live with problems, today we have to deal with so many thing which we don't like but we have to do because those are our responsibilities... we can't show our pleasure and sorrow to everyone but remember we never try to hide thing from anyone.
Why we change today? Why we can't live like we live in our childhood?
No one have the answers, but one thing we all know that we miss our childhood.

Relationship between inner-self and outer-world

Firstly, let's talk about inner-self which is directly or indirectly affected by one's outer world. Secondly, talking about what one's inner-self want to achieve? And how one does outer-world can help anyone to achieve the goal of inner-self?
To answer above questions there are lot of different approaches which can be used for that purpose. Now answering the first question, the of inner-self want to achieve "satisfaction" - if your inner-self is satisfied / normal to condition then one's outer-world seems to be beautiful, pleasant and mind blowing as well.
For getting satisfaction for inner-self there are some approaches which can be used:
First Approach:
"God has done the best for all His creations"
It explains that if you have lost anything from your life even you have struggled for it from dawn to dusk then this does not mean that you do not deserve that one while you deserve better than that thing. By thinking that you have a real smile and a real smiling is dependent on your inner-self satisfaction, it not just from your face appearance while it has a deep relation with inner-self.
So, by using this approach one can satisfy inner-self.
Second Approach:
According to another approach; this focuses on your daily life situations, circumstances, events and all other happenings.
When all above things are not in your favor it means these are not according to your will/expectation, then it does not mean that you should devalue your self and start to think negatively. By facing all these things you must use 'positive thinking approach'. You can say to yourself that there is a need to change my own self personally rather than anyone else'. Another way to tackle you should understand that all these events are happening to teach you new things.
Third Approach:
Now coming towards 'analytical approach' that also can be useful for gaining self satisfaction. By this approach one can satisfy his/her inner-self but also can handle the running situations. Analytical approach in this sense is a process of analyzing yourself and all happenings during the whole day at the time of sleeping.
By experiencing this approach; you will learn how to maintain and link the things with one another. In this process first of all you have to do some exercises:

• Point out all the mistakes which you've committed during the whole day with reasons and also define possible ways to correct them for future life.
• Point out all good things done by yourself and in response what you have received?

For example, if someone passed real smile when you've greeted him/her in new way. Tell yourself that you have earned something which is much better than money or anything else. In this way you can motivate, satisfy and normal you're inner-self at the current conditions.
At the end of this small but comprehensive article, we can say that we can satisfy our inner-self with reference to outer-world.

Save Water

Read this information to find out why we should all make the effort to save water whenever possible.

Why we should save water

Water is a precious resource and we should use it wisely at all times because it's not as abundant as you might think.  Using water, especially hot water, also uses energy and increases emissions of greenhouse gases contributing to climate change. During a drought situation it's even more important to make sure that water is used efficiently and not wasted. 

The information below tells you why we should all make an effort to save water whenever possible and provides some top tips on how to achieve significant water savings in both your house and garden.  

Did you know?

• The average person in England and Wales uses 150 litres of water a day - imagine 264 pints of milk and that’s 150 litres of water.  By 2020, with increasing population and housing growth the demand for water could increase by 5% - that’s 800 million extra litres of water a day.
• Most of the water is used for washing and toilet flushing, but it also includes drinking, cooking, car washing and watering the garden. We use almost 50% more water than 25 years ago, partly because of the use of power showers and household appliances.
• Using hot water in our homes contributes around 35 million tonnes of greenhouse gases a year (both water treatment processes and re-heating water in our homes contributes to these emissions).  The average family uses 500 litres of water a day, that’s equal to 1.5 tonnes of greenhouse gases a year.read more.............
