My mother has undergone liver transplant at the age of 63 and it has been 31 days post surgery. As of now she is all fine. How is her life ahead?What all precaution she needs to take ? Is she out of risk now? What are the complications that could happen? What is the life span after this? How much more time does she be very cautious?

Ans: Hello. While transplant is viewed as a new lease on life, it is a slightly different life with a lot more care especially after liver transplant. It's still quite early in her journey but the hardest part is over. In the next 2-3 months, she needs to be very careful with her medications and follow ups, so as to prevent and recognize any problem early. After about 6 months post-transplant she can be more relaxed. Life span will depend entirely on the underlying condition for which she received the transplant and how much care she takes of the new liver. All the best!

Criteria: Best placements in terms of Median Package. MNNIT Allahabad CSE, NIT Surathkal IT, NIT Rourkela CSE. Also, please suggest some other NITs/IIITs which he may get for CSE/IT branch, including both JoSAA and CSAB Counselling.

Ans: Preference order should be:
1. MNNIT Allahabad CSE
2. NIT Surathkal IT
3. NIT Rourkela CSE

Other NITs
NIT Warangal CSE/IT (very tough but try till last round)

NIT Trichy CSE/IT (try — chance slightly low, but CSAB gives surprise seats)

NIT Calicut CSE/IT (good chances)

NIT Durgapur CSE/IT (safe option — HS quota also for WB)

NIT Jamshedpur CSE/IT

NIT Silchar CSE/IT

NIT Meghalaya CSE (back-up option if needed)

IIITs

Physiotherapist - Answered on Apr 26, 2025

Question by Mehul - Apr 22, 2025

Health

My right leg starts to shake or tremble when standing on both legs. My mother was suffering from PD. Am I also heading for the same decease?

Ans: Dear Mr. Mehul. Thank you for your question. As a physiotherapist, I understand your concern, especially given your family history. Your leg trembling while standing could be due to muscle fatigue, essential tremor, or orthostatic tremor—not necessarily Parkinson’s disease (PD). PD tremors usually occur at rest, not during standing, and are accompanied by stiffness or slowness. Since your mother had PD, consulting a neurologist is important for proper evaluation. A physiotherapist can assess your strength and balance to rule out muscle-related causes. Early diagnosis is key, but many tremors are manageable. Don’t assume it’s PD yet, get checked to be sure. Don’t panic., many tremors are treatable and not progressive. I wish you quick recovery
