Media multitasking can trigger anxiety
एक नवीन अध्ययन के अनुसार एक ही समय पर जन संचार माध्यमों की एक से ज्यादा किस्में इस्तेमाल
करने वालों में मसलन टेलिविजन देखने के साथ साथ जो लोग कम्प्यूटर खेल खेलने का भी कौशल रखतें हैं
उनमें से ऐसा करते रहने वालों में अवसाद के साथ साथ बे -चैनी या एन्ग्जायती के भी लक्षण भी पैदा हो सकते हैं .
मिशिगन स्टेट यूनिवर्सिटी के मार्क बककर इस अध्ययन के अगुवा रहें हैं .आप हतप्रभ हैं दोनों के बीच यानी
मीडिया मल्टीटास्किंग और मानसिक स्वास्थ्य सम्बन्धी समस्याओं के बीच एक साफ़ साफ़ अंतर सम्बन्ध
देख कर .
आप कहतें हैं :
हमें नहीं मालूम असलियत क्या है कहीं ऐसा तो नहीं कि जो लोग अवसाद और बे -चैनी की लपेट में हैं वही तो
दोनों काम एक साथ नहीं कर रहे अपना ध्यान इन समस्याओं से हटाने के लिए .बहर सूरत गत दशक में
अमरीकी युवाओं में संचार माध्यमों उपयोग के मामलों में 20%वृद्धि हुई है .लेकिन इसी दरमियान
मल्टीमीडिया के संग गुज़ारे गए वक्त में वृद्धि की दर 120% रही है .

RISKY SEX DOING US IN
Our country may be winning the war against HIV ,but young Indians are falling prey to STIs
What is common between UK and India ,other than a shared colonial history ?
It is the recent rise in sexually transmitted infections (STIs) among youngsters ,say sexual health experts.
In England ,the infections were spotted in young people failing to use condoms with new partners ,according to a
report by the Health Protection Agency released
around May this year .
Back home ,the Maharshtra State AIDS Control Society (MSA CS) says the total number of new reported cases of
STIs ,in the state including Mumbai ,has risen by
5,328 in just the last one year .Up from 1,34 ,395 in 2011 (men :58,022;women :76,190 )to 1,39 ,753 in 2012 (men
:50,831;women :88,665).
The numbers ,says Dr Rajan Bhonsle ,head of the department of sexual medicine at KEM Hospital ,could be higher
since government figures don't account for
patients at private clinics.
SILENT STRIKERS
What's worrying is that most patients are oblivious to the infections since symptoms can be masked .Dr I S Gilada
,president of AIDS Society of India ,says ,in the
case of herpes simplex virus 2 (HSV2 ),more than half of those affected do not show any symptoms ."Infections appear
in the form of tiny blisters that are ignored
.These can be gradually turn into ulcers ,or disappear within weeks .But this virus has the tendency to recur in a couple
of months despite lack of fresh exposure
warns ,"Gilada.
Stats for 2012 reveal the following infections as the top four in Maharshtra :
(1) chlamydia
(2) gonorrhea ,
(3) HSV2 and
(4)human paillomavirus (HPV)
PROMISCUITY TO BLAME
In the last 10 years ,the ease with which Indians have learnt to juggle multiple partners is responsible for the rise in STIs
,say dermatologists like Dr Manohar H
Sobhani ."Ironically ,while commercial sex workers are particular about using condoms ,the general populace is not
,"says Dr Sobhani .He receives more college
going girls infected with STIs now ,as compared to 10 years ago .
The other hitch is the stigma attached to STIs .Before they know it ,youngsters have transmitted the infection to their
partner .Mirror columnist and sex expert Dr
Mahinder Watsa receives several such querries from readers ,who complain about blisters and abnormal discharge
,asking for a quick fix ."Timely treatmnent from
an expert is crucial in curbing the spread of STIs ,"he says .
THE MYTHS
One of the most widespread misconception among Indians ,says Dr Bhonsle ,is
that the use of a condom will provide
protection against all STIs ."A condom can
can do only so much ,since it shields just the penis .It does not shield the scrotum
or skin around the penis ,so what if
you have a bleeding rash ?"he asks .
Oral sex ,too ,can lead to STIs including HIV.The possibilty of STIs spreading
through saliva is low among humans
,but it is possible ,say doctors."Several people
bleed every morning when brushing .The blood molecules could get locked
between the gums and cheek ,and
release during deep kissing .If the other partner also
has a cut or gash in the mouth , an STI can be easily transferred ,"says Dr
bhonsle.
