Health

My total cholesterol 194 Ldl is 126 Hdl is 49 Triglycerides 95 VLDL 19

Ans: What is your age? Do you have any co-morbidity? Is your weight in normal range?
These are questions I need to have answers.
In absence of any major health issue, these are still acceptable parameters. But should be considered in context of clinical status and patient complaints.

Ans: MIT ( Boston) is having world ranking 1 and fees are very high and acceptance criteria is very very low. So drop this fantasy and try for other universities of USA. Now a days in 99% US universities there is no funding in the 1st semester. If your financial condition is very poor then drop the plan of MS from USA right now. Complete your Mechanical Engg, save substantial amount and then try. Even in India you can prove yourself as one of the best Mechanical Engineers. The formula for being the best is that if you are assigned 'X' amount of work just do slightly extra than 'X'. Best of luck. Just follow me. May God Bless You. Professor...............:)

Doctor, my younger sister, who is 14 years old, had an accident in the kitchen a few months ago and suffered second-degree burns on her arm and shoulder. While her wounds have healed, the scars are still very visible, and it’s starting to affect her confidence. She avoids wearing sleeveless clothes and feels conscious even around close family members. Can burn marks be fixed with cosmetic surgery? She is only 14 now. Will it completely remove the scars? Will it be a painful surgery?

Ans: Yes, the burn marks can be made better with cosmetic surgery. But we may not be able to get absolutely normal skin in most cases.
Only after a physical consultation, a proper comment can be made.

I have a 7-year-old boy who thinks he’s a superhero (and honestly, he’s got the energy for it). The thing is, he’s constantly on the move—running, jumping, climbing—you name it. While I love his enthusiasm, his teachers have mentioned that he’s having trouble sitting still and focusing in class. I don’t want to stifle his energy, but I also don’t want him to struggle academically. Any practical advice would be great!

Ans: Please consult a child psychologist

I am taking 5 mg of prednisolone daily for last five years for a skin disease. Will this affect my future claim if arises any? I am worried about this .

Ans: Hello;

Insurance is an understanding that works on mutual trust.

You need to make appropriate disclosures before signing up and also before renewal, if you were diagnosed with any major illness/medical condition.

Please inform the insurance company about this before next renewal.

what should i choose vit vellore or da iict gndhinagar for msc data science

Ans: HI Sakshi.
If you are financially sound, then you should prefer IICT Gandhinagar, which provides better career prospects and practical skills relevant to the field of Data Science than VIT Vellore. However, this does not mean that VIT is not a better choice. If VIT is nearer to your home town and easily accessible, then you may opt for it. But if distance, money are not issues., then preferably go with IICT Gandhinagar.

If satisfied, please like and follow me.
If dissatisfied with the reply, please ask again without hesitation.

Hello Milind Sir, On the EPF portal, my bank account is my salary account. This account is a joint account with my younger brother. I am a male too. Will this joint account be a problem when I try to withdraw my EPF corpus? I heard only joint account with spouse is allowed for withdrawal apart from single holder account. Should I convert this joint account to a single holder account immediately now or do it after I resign/retire when I want to withdraw the EPF corpus?

Ans: Hello;

It is advisable to convert the bank account to a single holder account as early as possible.

Best wishes;
