HEALTH AND FITNESS - For Stomach Ulcers

What is an Ulcer? A sore that develops on the lining of the oesophagus, stomach or small intestine. Ulcers occur when stomach acid damages the lining of the digestive tract. Common causes include the bacteria H. Pylori and anti-inflammatory pain relievers including aspirin. Upper abdominal pain is a common symptom.  Treatment usually includes medication to decrease stomach acid production. If it is caused by bacteria, antibiotics may be required. How are ulcers caused? The most common  causes  of peptic  ulcers  are infection with the bacterium Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) and long-term use of aspirin and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) (Advil, Aleve, others). Types Stomach ulcers are one type of   peptic ulcers . There are two other types: Esophageal and duodenal ulcers. Esophageal ulcers form inside the esophagus, and duodenal ulcers occur in the uppermost part of the small intestine, known as the duodenum. The ulcers share similar c

ANDROID

What Is the Android Operating System? The Android operating system is a mobile operating system that was developed by Google to be primarily used for touchscreen devices, cell phones, and tablets. Its design lets users manipulate the mobile devices intuitively, with finger movements that mirror common motions, such as pinching, swiping, and tapping. Google also employs Android software in televisions, cars, and wristwatches—each of which is fitted with a unique user interface. It is  free and open source  software; its source code is known as Android Open Source Project (AOSP) which is primarily licensed under the  Apache License . However most Android devices ship with additional  proprietary software  pre-installed,  most notably  Google Mobile Services  (GMS)  which includes core apps such as  Google Chrome , the  digital distribution  platform  Google Play  and associated  Google Play Services  development platform. About 70 percent of Android smartphones run Google'

Spanish Flu

The  Spanish flu , also known as the  1918 flu pandemic , was an unusually deadly  influenza pandemic  caused by the  H1N1 influenza A virus . Lasting about 15 months from  spring  1918 (northern hemisphere) to early  summer  1919,  it infected 500 million people – about a third of the world's population at the time.  The death toll is estimated to have been anywhere from 17 million to 50 million, and possibly as high as 100 million, making it one of the  deadliest pandemics  in human history. Most influenza outbreaks disproportionately kill the very young and the very old, with a higher survival rate for those in between, but the Spanish flu pandemic resulted in a higher than expected mortality rate for young adults.  Scientists offer several possible explanations for the high mortality rate of the 1918 influenza pandemic. Some analyses have shown the virus to be particularly deadly because it triggers a  cytokine storm , which ravages the stronger  immune system  of young a

THOUSAND YEARS OLD Maior Cajueiro do Mondo located in Natal, Brazil

I n 1994, the Guinness Book of Records set aside a separate column for the world’s largest cashew tree called Maior Cajueiro do Mondo located in Natal, Brazil. The gigantic tree has grown from an amalgamation of two genetic tissues. Such tissues allow the branches of the tree to grow outwards rather than upwards. Gradually, hence, the branches tend to stoop towards the ground and eventually make for a root. This new root further grows into a new tree. Image Source The massive tree occupies 80,000 square feet of land or roughly five acres. It is guessed to be around thousand years old. One can easily climb a tower to view this tree from a vantage point or for that matter, even climb up through the roots. Image source You can heartily go and pay a visit to this enormous work of nature. However, beware of the orange caterpillars. These gorgeous looking insects are poisonous. They swamp over the tree seasonally and are a size of a finger. Image source The bea

Heracleion - A city Discovered Under Water After 1500 years

Heracleion, a much prosperous and a known city had been engulfed underwater 1500 years ago. This grand city had also been mentioned by the Greek writer Herodotus, the 5th-century BC historian. He had told a wonderful tale of Helen of Troy, the most beautiful woman in the world, who had launched a thousand ships, travelled to Heracleion, then a port of ‘great wealth’, with her glamorous Trojan lover, Paris.  Image Courtesy: Franck Goddio   But until 2001, there had been no evidence of the city from this classical tale. But when a group led by French marine archaeologist Franck Goddio stumbled upon some relics, it led them to one of the greatest finds of the 21st century, a city underwater. The discovery took place when Goddio had been in search of Napoleon’s warships from the 1798 Battle of the Nile, when he had been defeated by Nelson in these very waters, but to his surprise, he stumbled upon this magnificent discovery.  Goddio’s team has since been joined b
