Parkinson's Disease

 Parkinson's Disease is a neurological disorder that affects motor function, characterized by the gradual degeneration of dopamine-producing neurons in the brain. This can manifest as a range of symptoms such as tremors, rigidity, and impaired coordination. While a cure for Parkinson's remains elusive, there are various pharmacological and non-pharmacological interventions that can effectively manage symptoms and improve patients' quality of life.


World Parkinson's Disease Day, observed annually on April 11th , serves as a reminder of the global impact of Parkinson's Disease and the importance of raising awareness and advocating for better treatments and a cure. It is an occasion to stand in solidarity with those living with Parkinson's and their families, and to renew our commitment to advancing research and treatment options. Despite the challenges posed by Parkinson's Disease, individuals with the condition can lead fulfilling lives with the appropriate care and support.

Only rare conditions like thalassemia are a concern. Since Islam allows it, it must be safe. As a medical student, I believe it is essential to address these misconceptions using undeniable scientific facts, population genetics, and a responsible interpretation of Islamic ethics. Claim 1: "Cousin marriage is usually safe, so there's no reason to resist it." Truth: It may not always cause harm, but it certainly increases risk. Science does not claim that cousin marriage is always danger...

Medical Students are Humans, not Machines

I'm writing this with a heavy heart, as I'm sure many of my fellow medical students will resonate with the struggles I'm about to share. Pursuing an MBBS degree is already a challenging journey, both physically and mentally demanding. But the recent decisions made by the University of Health Sciences (UHS) Lahore have pushed us to the brink. We're currently dealing with a perfect storm of pressure. The summer season in Pakistan is notorious for its scorching heatwaves, and to make matters worse, UHS has shortened our summer breaks to merely a week. But that's not all, they've also snatched away our most important preparation leaves, which were our only solace in the midst of this chaos. These preparation leaves were our lifeline, allowing us to revise and consolidate our knowledge before the final professional exams. Without them, we're expected to recall and retain the vast syllabus covered over the past three months. It's like trying to drink from a ...
