My friend has severe arthritis and can barely walk anymore. The doctors recommended hip replacement surgery, but I read online about stem cell therapy as an alternative. Can stem cell therapy actually help with advanced arthritis like his? If it works, what would the treatment cost and are there any good clinics for this in Delhi NCR?

View allI've been dealing with a throat infection for a month now, and I'm quite worried because my ASO titre levels are sitting at 600 UI. Can you help me understand what this means and suggest any treatments?
I am suffering from throat infection to one month.my aso titrelabel is 600ui.pls suggest treatment Based on your symptoms and ASO titre level, it seems like you may have a streptococcal throat infection. I recommend taking a course of antibiotics to treat the infection. You can take Amoxicillin 500mg three times a day for 7-10 days. Additionally, you can also take Ibuprofen 400mg every 6 hours as needed for pain and inflammation. Make sure to drink plenty of fluids and get plenty of rest to help your body recover.

I'm a 29-year-old guy, and I spend a lot of time sitting in front of a computer because of my software job. It's been about a year since I found out my uric acid levels were high, so I cut back on protein and I'm eating vegetarian now. I don't smoke, and I'm not really working out currently. My last uric acid level was at 7.0. I just got some blood work done, including Liver Function Tests, and it showed my globulin level is low at 1.81, and my albuminglobulin ratio is 2.81. Everything else in the LFT was okay. Is this something to be worried about? Should I be doing other tests to figure out what's happening, or could this all be related to my diet? What lifestyle or dietary changes do you recommend? And which kind of doctor should I get in touch with for advice?
