“Supwa lele o babua…, chhathi maiya suniya…, pehle pehli chhathi maiya…”
Today these songs are resonating in every house and ghat in North India. Folk singer Sharda Sinha, who popularized Chhath across the world by mixing these folk songs with the magic of her voice, is no longer in this world.
Bihar’s nightingale Sharda Sinha passed away at AIIMS, New Delhi at the age of 72. AIIMS said in its bulletin that Sharda Sinha suffered refractory shock due to septicemia and due to this she died.
Sharda Sinha was suffering from Multiple Myeloma for the last 6 years. This is a type of rare cancer, which affects plasma cells (white blood cells). Due to this the immune system becomes very weak and the risk of infection increases. Sharda Sinha also suffered from septicemia due to this, which took her life.
so today ‘medical certificate‘I will talk about multiple myeloma. You will also learn that-
- What is multiple myeloma and why does it happen?
- Why does this increase the risk of septicemia?
- What are the treatment and prevention measures for this disease?
What is multiple myeloma?
This is a rare blood cancer, due to which healthy plasma cells change into abnormal cells. These abnormal cells start multiplying rapidly and start producing abnormal antibodies called M.
How many people does multiple myeloma affect?
This is a very rare cancer. In the whole world, only 7 people out of every 10 lakh people are affected by this cancer. According to a study published in the National Library of Medicine, in the year 2018, only 1 lakh 60 thousand people were affected by it in the whole world.
How does multiple myeloma affect the body?
Its biggest impact is on the immune system. In fact, abnormal cells multiply rapidly and start spreading throughout the body. All organs are affected by this. Decrease in red blood cells causes anemia and weakening of bones can increase the problem of bone fracture. The kidney’s filtering process fails.
What problems can this cause in the body, see in the graphic –
What are its symptoms?
There are no symptoms of multiple myeloma in the initial stages. However, even during this period it can be detected through blood test. Its symptoms develop slowly over time. The problem with this is that its symptoms are very similar to other medical conditions. Therefore this disease is detected late.
Dr. Sarita Rani says that if symptoms of several medical conditions are visible simultaneously, then it is very important to get it checked after consulting a doctor. See the graphic below to see how the symptoms usually appear:
What is the treatment for multiple myeloma?
This disease cannot be cured completely. Therefore, its treatment is done on the basis of symptoms, so that the symptoms can be reduced and the patient can be given long life and relief. Since the immune system is more affected due to this, immunotherapy can be given. Antibiotics may be given to prevent bacterial infection.
What is septicemia, the cause of Sharda Sinha’s death?
AIIMS Delhi’s bulletin said that Sharda Sinha died due to septicemia. In such a situation, the question may arise that he had rare cancer. Then how did septicemia become the cause of death? Dr. Sarita says that first of all understand what septicemia is.
Dr. Sarita says that our immune system is most affected in multiple myeloma. This increases the risk of infection. In such a situation, any germs can easily attack the body. If any bacteria, fungus or virus enters the blood stream, it becomes poisonous.
Understand it this way, all the organs of our body are supplied oxygen and nutrition for their functioning through blood. When septicemia occurs, these germs reach all the organs directly through the blood, attack them and damage them. Due to this their functioning collapses and the person dies. ……………………..
