One of the highest paid actors and producers in Hollywood, Tom Cruise, did not always lead such a hunky dory life. He was born in a poor family where his dad had to search for jobs regularly and was always on the move. Due to this Tom would most of the time miss his school, and this coupled with the fact that his mother was a dyslexic, he suffered from dyslexia.Dyslexia is a disability where the human brain is unable to translate any written images as seen from our eyes into a meaningful statement. It can occur in children with normal speech and intelligence. In Tom’s case although he was not an intellectually bright student, he was able to speak properly but had trouble translating what was being told to him. He also had trouble writing. Tom’s disability was diagnosed as dyslexics do not show any signs till the time they are at school. It can only be slowly diagnosed as the student faces trouble talking, has a limited vocabulary and has difficulty rhyming. Tom himself faced these problems. It was due to his sporting abilities that he in fact cleared college. He himself calls him functionally illiterate.
Then his most controversial statement that is, “Scientology cured my dyslexia” created a furor in the medical community. Doctors vehemently denied that no sect practices can cure dyslexia.
For the common man though there is no need to despair. You do not have to join any sect. But a realization is important here that there is no underlying method to cure dyslexia. It can be controlled through remedial treatment. And the sooner it begins the better. There are certain teaching techniques that are really helpful in altering a child’ brain. So there is always hope at the end of the tunnel, but be aware that the road is gradual.
As far as Tom goes, well we all know how successful he is.
Serena Williams was recently in the news, not for winning another grand slam, but for a serious health condition. The multiple times Grand Slam winner was taken to a hospital in Los Angeles, where she was diagnosed with pulmonary embolism. While undergoing treatment she suffered from hematoma. Although throughout her career she has suffered from many injuries, this is a serious condition, which can result in death as well.
We need to understand what pulmonary embolism is so judge the gravity of the situation that she is going through. Pulmonary embolism is a problem where more than 1 artery in the lungs gets blocked. The biggest reason for this blockage is blood clots that can travel from any part of the body to the lungs. The common place where the clot occurs is the legs and as one can assume, Serena being a sportsperson, she was definitely prone to these kinds of clots. It is a life threatening condition, but if diagnosed early can be eliminated. Serena was witnessing chest pains and shortness of breath for some time and it was the timely advice of her elder sister Venus that actually made her see a doctor and get prognosis.
It is diagnosed by taking x-rays of the chest, a lung scan and a helical CT scan. As mentioned prompt therapy is a must. Its medications include anti-coagulants, clot dissolvers and surgical procedures. It could have been prevented by preventing the clots in one’s blood vessels.
Serena fortunately is recovering now and she only has her sister to thank for it. It was the early diagnosis that saved from a more serious condition. She is currently on blood thinners, which the doctors say will stop her from playing tennis for the next six months. But that how her career’s been so far, she would always come back from an injury to lift another title. But for now let us all just pray for her speedy recovery.

Celebrities are always held in awe by the common people. What they do, what they wear, how they talk, the way they walk are all scrutinized by the media and even by the common folks. The two most watched and most admired features of a celebrity are their clothes and their bodies. We shall focus on their bodies or rather their health and learn how they are able to maintain such perfect bodies and figures.
