January 22, 2018

Oral cancer or mouth cancer is a type of head and neck cancer that can happen anywhere in the mouth. From developing on the surface of the lips to the salivary glands, and tonsils, oral cancer can occur anywhere.

Early oral cancers commonly present as:

A non-healing sore in the mouth, despite adequate medication.
Loose tooth or bleeding gums
Painful swallowing or persistent ear ache
Recent onset difficulty or pain during mouth opening or protrusion of tongue.
Visible neck swellings.

These symptoms are usually overlooked and present later as advanced cancers.

Like any other cancer, if not treated on time, oral cancer can also be life threatening.

Below are the factors that are known to increase the risk of the developing oral cancer.

General Factors

Gender: Oral cancer is more common in males than in females. Use of tobacco and alcohol is seen significantly higher in men, thus increasing the risk factor for males. However, the gender factor is gradually declining as more women are indulging in tobacco and alcohol intake.
Age: Oral cancer can occur at any age; however, those falling under the age bracket of 31-40 with an excessive alcohol and tobacco use are at an increased risk.
Ultraviolet light: Lip cancer is more common among individuals who primarily work outdoors as well as individuals who are exposed to sunlight for a prolonged period.

Genetic Factors

Genetic syndromes: Certain inherited genetic mutations can lead to different syndromes in the body which increases the risk of oral cancer. These include:

Fanconi anaemia: This is a blood condition, which is caused by inherited abnormalities in numerous genes. Difficulties can start at an early age and often lead to aplastic anaemia or leukaemia. The danger of oral cancer among individuals with Fanconi anaemia is approximately 500 times greater than the general population.
Dyskeratosis congenita: It is a genetically linked syndrome which can also cause aplastic anaemia. It carries a higher risk of throat and mouth cancer developing at an early age.

Lifestyle Factors

Tobacco use: The chances of developing oral cancer depends on the frequency as well as the duration of tobacco use. Smoking can cause cancer in the mouth or throat, and tobacco products are related to cancer in the inner surface of lips, cheeks, and gums. About 80% of oral cancers are related to tobacco use in one form or the other.
Alcohol: Approximately 70% of individuals diagnosed with oral cancer drink alcohol on a regular basis. For individuals who drink and smoke heavily, the chances of oral cancer may be as high as 100% more than the risk for individuals who do not indulge in these activities.

Other Factors

HPV: Cancers that are related to human papillomavirus (HPV) are usually found in the tonsils, at the back of the throat, and the base of the tongue.
Some other risk factors like excessive exposure to radiation, prevalence of neck and head cancer.

Minimizing your risks

Cancers of the mouth are one of the most curable types. Sadly 3/4th of oral cancer patients present to oncologists in advanced stages. The most crucial thing one can do to prevent oral cancer is to never indulge in alcohol, smoking and chewing tobacco.

The risk can also be reduced by:

Reducing the exposure to the sun and wearing a lip balm with a good SPF
Eating a balanced diet consisting of fruits and vegetables
Avoiding alcohol and smoking
Removing the dentures at night and keeping them clean
Identifying and eliminating any cause of chronic or persisting irritation to mouth for eg. Sharp tooth, repeated cheek bites, or even keeping supari or tobacco squid at a position in mouth.

While it is impossible to fully cure oral cancer, following the above steps can help minimise the chances. Also, getting cancer treatment from one of the hospitals like Max Healthcare, which offers the best cancer treatment in Delhi, can ensure a speedy recovery. Visiting the dentist at regular intervals helps to guarantee that any symptoms of oral cancer are recognised as early as possible.

Thyagaraja Aradhanotsavam-The Musical Fest

SAINT TYAGARAJA

Kakarla Tyagabrahmam (4 May 1767 – 6 January 1847) or Saint Tyagaraja, also known as Tyāgayya in Telugu, was one of the greatest composers of Carnatic music, a form of Indian classical music. He was a prolific composer and highly influential in the development of the classical music tradition. Tyagaraja and his contemporaries Syama Sastri and Muthuswami Dikshitar were regarded as the Trinity of modern Carnatic music. Tyagaraja composed thousands of devotional compositions, most in Telugu and in praise of Lord Rama, many of which remain popular even today and sung at the Thyagaraja Aradhanotsavam every year.

AARADHANA

Aradhana means to offer.Tyagaraja Aradhana is an annual Carnatic music festival usually held once in a year during January and February in Thiruvaiyaru, the birth place of the great saint Tyagarajar Many experts of Carnatic music gather here to perform music, and is watched by millions of fervent fans of Indian classical music. To pay a common homage to the saint, Five pancharatna keethanas are selected and sung by all the musicians. As a mark of respect and thanksgiving to the saint, Carnatic musicians from all over the world get together and pay their reverence to the Saint by singing the Pancharatna kritis on the Pushya Bahula Panchami – the day when he attained Samadhi. This is an integral feature of the Aradhana.

THE CULTURE OF THE FESTIVAL

When Saint Thyagaraja passed on, his mortal remains were buried on the banks of the river Kaveri and a small memorial was built at the site. His disciples returned to their respective villages and observed his death anniversary at their own homes. The memorial soon fell into neglect and had become quite dilapidated by 1903, when two of the last surviving students to have been taught by Tyagaraja happened to make a nostalgic visit to the site. These were the elderly and eminent musicians Umayalpuram Krishna Bhagavatar and Sundara Bhagavatar. They were dismayed by the neglect and dilapidation; indeed, they had to search for the memorial in the wild foliage of the riverbank. They arranged for the renovation of the samadhi and decided to commemorate the tithi or death anniversary of their guru every year at the Samadhi itself.
In fact, until 1907, there were no music concerts but only religious rituals, during the aradhana. In 1908, it was Narasimha Bhagavatar and his younger brother Panchu Bhagavatar, disciples of Thillaisthanam Rama Iyengar (‘antharanga sishya’ of saint Thyagaraja) who held a five-day aradhana festival that included harikathas and concerts. The music concerts are now presided over by Sri Thyagabrahma Mahotsava Sabha based in Thiruvaiyaru. The religious part of the Vaidika aradhana celebrations that began during the time of Thillaisthanam Rama Iyengar is continued even today by a Trust called ‘Sadguru Tyagabrahma Aradhana Kainkarya Trust, Madras,’ formed in 1984 by Chellam Iyer, S. Parthasarathy and a few others of the Thillaisthanam tradition. Thiruvaiyaru is situated 13kms from Thanjavur (Tanjore) in the state of Tamil Nadu.

This picture depicts the trust and divinity of people towards Saint Thyagaraja. Many people perform many such activities to seek the blessings of the saint, so that they could get the holy showers of the Almighty as well. This is the live picture of the music enthusiasts who had performed a “Nagara Sankeerthanam” on the eve of the saint’s death anniversary.

THE PANCHARATNAMS

Where ever may the Thyagaraja Aradhanotsavam be held, the main motive of this fest is to protect the great compositions of Thyagaraja and share it with the future generations.The Pancharatna Kritis sung at the fest are:

Jagadananda Karaka – Ragam Natai
Duduku gala – Ragam Goula
Sadhinchane – Ragam Arabhi
Kanakana Ruchira – Ragam Varali
Endaro Mahanubhavulu – Shree Ragam

The melodic forms of these compositions (Nata, Goula, Arabhi, Varali, Sri) are the five Ghana ragas of Carnatic music also called the ghanapanchaka. These 5 ragas lend themselves to elaborate improvisations. They are so called because they are suited for playing tanam on the veena. Nata and Varali are the most ancient of the Carnatic ragas and date back to over a thousand years ago.

Today, thousands of people from all over the world attend this great musical festival to commemorate the Great saint and get lost in the divinity of music. The sacred sounds ringing around the area make the area pleasant and hence satisfy the music lovers.

All About The Tomatina Festival

Have you watched the Hindi movie, Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara? Well, if you have watched it, then you must be knowing that it is like playing Holi with tomatoes. La Tomatina is a festival that is celebrated in the Valencian town of Bunol. Bunol is a town that is located in the East of Spain 30 kilometres (19 mi) from the Mediterranean, in which participants throw tomatoes and get involved in this tomato fight purely for entertainment purposes. Since 1945 it has been held on the last Wednesday of August, during the week of festivities of Buñol.

Rules :

The following instructions are followed for the safety of the participants :

Throwing bottles or hard objects is not allowed.
Tearing or throwing of tee-shirts is not allowed.
Squash tomatoes before throwing them to avoid hurting others
Maintain a safe distance from trucks
Do not throw tomatoes after the second starter pistol shot
Follow the directions of security staff.

Thousands upon thousands of people make their way from all corners of the world to fight in this ‘World’s Biggest Food Fight’ where more than one hundred metric tons of over-ripe tomatoes are thrown in the streets.Prior to 2013 anywhere from 40,000 to 50,000 (reported to be 50,000 in 2012) people crammed into this huge tomato fight, greatly expanding Bunol’s normal 9,000 person population. Since 2013 official ticketing has been in place limiting the number of participants to just 20,000 lucky people.

At around 11am many trucks haul the bounty of tomatoes into the centre of the town, Plaza del Pueblo. The tomatoes come from Extremadura, where they are less expensive. Technically the festival does not begin until one brave soul has climbed to the top of a two-story high, greased-up wooden pole and reached the coveted ham at the top. In practice this process takes a long time and the festival starts despite no one reaching the meaty prize. The signal for the beginning of the fight is firing of water cannons, and the chaos begins. Once it begins, the battle is generally every man for himself.

After an one hour the fighting ends. At this point, no more tomatoes can be thrown. The cleaning process involves the use of fire trucks to spray down the streets, with water provided from a Roman aqueduct. The authorities seem more concerned with cleaning the town than cleaning the visitors, so some people find water at the Bunol River to wash themselves, although some kind residents will hose passers-by down. Once the tomato pulp is flushed, the ground is clean due to the acidity of the tomato.

If you plan to visit Spain, then do visit Bunol at the time of the La Tomatina Festival and experience it !

5 Must Visit Places In San Francisco

San Francisco holds a secure place in the United States romantic dream of itself—a cool, elegant, handsome, worldly seaport whose steep streets offer breathtaking views of one of the world’s greatest bays. According to the dream, San Franciscans are sophisticates whose lives hold full measures of such civilized pleasures as music, art, and good food. If you are planning to go to San Francisco, then you must visit the following 5 places:

1. Golden Gate Bridge

The Golden Gate Bridge is the most photographed site in the city, with the orange structure backed by blue water, or in many cases, peaking through low lying cloud. At night, the flood-lit structure is equally striking.For a great view of the bridge, or for anyone interested in photographing the bridge, there are a number of ideal vantage points. From the San Francisco side, Nob Hill, an area known for its posh old mansions, offers some beautiful views over the bridge. On the opposite side of the bridge, in Marin County, Golden Gate National Recreation Area is another good spot.

2. Alcatraz Island

The historic and notorious Alcatraz penitentiary, located on Alcatraz Island in San Francisco Bay, is one of America’s most infamous prisons. It operated for almost thirty years, closing in 1963 and re-opening as a tourist attraction in 1973. Some of America’s most well-known criminals were inmates here, including Al Capone and the “Birdman,” who would later form the basis for the fictional movie The Birdman of Alcatraz. While most people come for the history or the novelty of seeing a former prison, the island is now a prominent area for nesting seabirds.

3. Chinatown

You may have been to Chinatown in other cities, but San Francisco’s Chinatown is a whole other realm. It is both the largest Chinatown outside of Asia and the oldest of its kind in North America. Almost completely destroyed in the 1906 earthquake, Chinatown was rebuilt entirely in the Chinese style and was soon even more attractive than before the disaster. Now with its temples, theaters, workshops, small businesses, stores, antique and souvenir shops, teahouses, and traditional pharmacies, Chinatown has become one of the major sites of San Francisco.

4. Fisherman’s Wharf

One of San Francisco’s most popular tourist areas is Fisherman’s Wharf. If this is your first visit to the city and you only have a day or two to see the sights, Fisherman’s Wharf is a good place to start. This old section, once the Little Italy of San Francisco, is an area known for its shops, restaurants, and beautiful setting along the waterfront. It’s a fun place to stroll around and get a taste for the city. From here, you can also take a sightseeing cruise for spectacular views of the city, or organize a fishing charter.

5. Asian Art Museum

The Asian Art Museum is unquestionably one of the most important museums in San Francisco. The museum opened in 1966, with the basis of the collection coming from art collector Avery Brundage. Brundage built up a private collection, which in 1959 he offered to the city of San Francisco “to bridge the gap between East and West.” The museum building was constructed, and on his death in 1975 at the age of 88, the museum also received the rest of his collection of works of art in the form of a legacy. Building on this, the museum has continued to amass various pieces and now contains an extensive collection of sculptures, paintings, bronzes, ceramics, jade carvings, and architectural fragments from Japan, Korea, China, Iran, and other Asiatic cultures.
