Understanding Hepatitis: Unveiling the Different Types

An Introduction to Hepatitis – The Silent Threat to Global Health
Hepatitis is a series of viral illnesses that affect the liver and pose a substantial hazard to public health globally. Hepatitis, also known as the “silent menace,” can go undetected for years, slowly weakening the liver and leading to serious problems. Understanding the many kinds of hepatitis and their means of transmission is critical to limiting the spread of this sneaky disease.
Unraveling the Types – Hepatitis A, B, C, D, and E
Hepatitis is classified into five types: A, B, C, D, and E, each caused by a separate virus. Hepatitis A is primarily transmitted by contaminated food and water, whereas hepatitis B, C, D, and E are transmitted through infected blood, unprotected sexual contact, or mother-to-child transmission after childbirth. Because the severity and long-term implications of each type vary, early detection and intervention are critical in illness management.
Hepatitis A and E – Acute Infections and Preventive Measures
Infections with Hepatitis A and E are often transient and do not result in chronic liver damage. While these types are usually self-limiting, they can be severe in some situations, especially in people with weakened immune systems. Vaccination, improved sanitation, and basic hygiene practices are critical in reducing the spread of hepatitis A and E, particularly in areas with inadequate sanitation.
Hepatitis B and C – The Chronic Threats and Global Burden
Hepatitis B and C are the most dangerous because they can induce chronic infections that progress to cirrhosis, liver failure, and hepatocellular carcinoma (liver cancer). These viruses pose a huge global health burden, affecting approximately 300 million individuals worldwide. Antiviral drugs and preventive treatments, such as hepatitis B immunization, are critical in lowering transmission rates and preventing long-term consequences.
Hepatitis D – The Dependent Virus
Hepatitis D, commonly known as delta hepatitis, is a virus that can only infect people who have already had hepatitis B. Hepatitis D worsens the severity of hepatitis B and raises the risk of cirrhosis and liver cancer. The approach to lowering the prevalence of hepatitis D is to prevent hepatitis B infections by immunization.

Unveiling the truth: A ‘Kerala Story’ rooted in facts

[ad_1]
Kerala, the southernmost state of India, is currently in the headlines over the movie ‘The Kerala Story’ which made several controversial claims.
However, as per another ‘Kerala Story’ rooted in facts, the state has always been known for its high literacy rate, progressive outlook, and social indicators. In recent years, Kerala has emerged as a hub of non-resident Keralites (NRKs) who have been contributing significantly to the state’s economy.
Non-resident Keralites contribute 34 pc of all NRI remittances
In 2020, NRK remittances stood at 2.3 lakh crores, which is 34 percent of all NRI remittances.

The per capita income of Kerala is 60 percent higher than the rest of India, and only 0.71 percent of Keralites are below the poverty line, whereas the national average is 22 percent.

Kerala’s literacy rate is 96 percent, which is much higher than the national average of 77 percent. Moreover, the infant mortality rate in Kerala is six, which is far less than BJP-ruled states such as Assam, Madhya Pradesh, and Uttar Pradesh.
Claims by ‘The Kerala Story’ movie
The recently released movie, “The Kerala Story,” claimed that Kerala women are forced to convert to Islam and join ISIS. The original claim made by the movie’s trailer was that 32,000 Kerala women were forced to convert to Islam and join ISIS. However, as the controversy erupted over the claim, the number changed to three. Ever since the release of its trailer, ‘The Kerala Story’ has been in the news due to its alleged communal content.
The film, starring Adah Sharma, created a major controversy when it claimed that 32,000 women had left the state. As a result, a petition was filed before the Kerala High Court seeking a ban on the screening of the film.
Reviews of the movie have been overwhelmingly negative, with critics calling it “distorted,” “melodramatic and manipulative,” “ghastly,” “poorly made rant,” and “steeped in damned lies and comically exaggerated propaganda.”

The Chief Minister noted that Ambedkar incorporated Article 3 for separate states during the drafting of the Constitution, which paved the way for realisation of Telangana state.
He said that India’s tallest statue of Dr Ambedkar, which is next to the State Secretariat, opposite to Buddha statue and located beside the Telangana Martyrs memorial, will inspire people every day and motivate the entire state administration.
The CM recalled that since the decision was taken to erect the statue of Ambedkar, it took at least two years to finalize technical and manufacturing measures.
“The installation of the statue turned out to be more wonderful than what we had imagined,” KCR said. He praised the statue sculptor 98-year-old Padma Bhushan, Ram Vanji Sutar for making such a big effort.
CM KCR said that the state secretariat is named after Ambedkar with the great determination of public representatives and the entire government machinery to work for the realisation of Ambedkar’s aspirations.
