Problems Before Winter Comes & How Astam Products Helps
As the cold winds of winter start stirring, the weather before arrival can bring a jump of hidden health challenges. It is an important time for pre-shelter period healthcare providers and families, which is the same to be cautious-only about cold, but also about specific diseases and conditions emerging during this infection.
Since the monsoon weakens immunity and transfers environmental conditions, the pre-winter weather brings an ideal situation for many infections and health complications. Astam Diagnostics Pvt. Ltd., we rapidly provide a wide range of diagnostics kits and medical devices that help address these problems at their root – with speed, accuracy and strength.
1. Waterborne Diseases: A Silent Threat After the Rains
🌧️ The Problem:
Even when the rains are low, water stagnation is a major issue in many areas. With the temperature of compromised hygiene and ups and downs, this atmosphere creates an ideal storm for the outbreak of typhoid and leptospirosis. These diseases are usually transmitted through contaminated water or food and increase frequency just before the onset of winter.
- Typhoid fever, weakness, causes abdominal pain, and can cause serious complications if not treated early.
- Leptospirosis is often ignored, but can be severe, especially after waterfall or flood. It leads to symptoms such as muscle pain, jaundice and kidney or liver issues.
✅ Astam’s Solutions:
- Salmonella Typhi Test Kit (IgG/IgM)
A quick and reliable equipment to identify typhoid infections, enabling early diagnosis and treatment before complications. - Leptospira Antibody Rapid Test Kit
This test helps in detecting Leptospira IgM antibodies, allowing healthcare workers to quickly manage and combine outbreaks in high-risk areas.
2. Vector-Borne Illnesses: Lingering After the Monsoon
🦟 The Problem:
While mosquito activity is usually reduced in extreme cold, the period of pre-dimer often sees a final wave of mosquito-borne diseases, especially in areas where the temperature is still moderate. There are important dangers in dengue, malaria and chikungunya during this period.
- Dengue can be severe and can cause internal bleeding or shock if not diagnosed quickly.
- Malaria, due to plasmodium parasites, is still prevalent in many areas during the end of the mosquito season.
- Chikungunya resulted in joint pain and fatigue, which is often confused with other fever diseases.
✅ Astam’s Solutions:
- Dengue NS1 Antigen Test Kit & IgG/IgM Combo Test Kit
Within 15 minutes, both detect intense (NS1 antigen) and infection (IgG/IgM antibodies). This allows for early diagnosis even before the completion of antibody formation. - Malaria Rapid Test Kit (P.f./P.v.)
A region-friendly test that identifies the most common malaria parasitic Plasmodium Phalsiparum and Plasmodium Vivax in India. - Chikungunya IgM/IgG Rapid Test Kit
Helps to confirm chikungunya with high specificity, especially important in areas where dengue and chikungunya can occur simultaneously.
These tests are particularly important during community health camps, rural clinics and seasonal monitoring efforts by public health officials.
3. Kidney & Metabolic Health: Cold Weather Stress
❄️ The Problem:
Pre-shelter drop in temperature affects fluid balance, blood sugar and kidney function. People drink less water, and the pre-existing health conditions can worsen in a cold environment. Urinary tract infections (UTIs), dehydration, and early signs of kidney stress can be easily remembered.
Additionally, monitoring glucose, protein and other urinary markers makes it necessary for people with diabetes, high blood pressure, or people recovering from infections.
✅ Astam’s Solutions:
- Urine Reagent Test Strips (2 and 10 Parameters)
Simple, sharp, and efficient – our urinary test strips help to detect abnormalities in protein, glucose, ketones, blood, pH, nitrites, and more, within all minutes. These are essential tools in regular check-ups, especially for elderly or high-risk patients.
By integrating these tests in clinics or home use, the early stage complications can be well recognized before becoming severe
4. Blood Pressure Monitoring: A Must Before Winter
❤️🩹 The Problem:
Cold temperatures can narrow the blood vessels, causing blood pressure to elevate. For persons with pre-existing high blood pressure or heart conditions, this can be dangerous. Before being set in winter, it is important to read basic reading and regular changes.
✅ Astam’s Solution:
- Digital BP Monitor (Blood Pressure Monitor)
Our easy use and reliable BP monitoring device is ideal for both clinical and domestic use. This allows patients and doctors to track blood pressure trends and take preventive action before complications occur.
With a digital display, memory storage and accurate reading, this device becomes an important partner in winter health management – especially for elderly and people with old health issues.
