| Gene Therapy | Stem Cell Therapy |
| Gene therapy is a procedure that helps replace defective genes. It is an artificial technique that introduces normal functioning genes in the place of defective genes. | Stem cell treatment is a kind of regenerative medicine that helps treat various diseases. The induced stem cells heal the damaged cells or accelerate the repair response in the damaged tissue. |
| Types of Gene Therapy: Somatic Gene Therapy and Germline Gene Therapy |
Types of Stem Cells: Adult stem cells, induced pluripotent stem cells, embryonic stem cells and mesenchymal stem cells. |
| It involves introduction or modification of genes to prevent or treat a disease. | It involves introduction of cells to replace or repair the damaged cells. |
| This usually involves a virus vector to deliver the new gene. | Some stem cells like mesenchymal stem cells can themselves act as a vector. |

Usually, top surgery is suggested when you are 18 or above the age of 18. But you can get top surgery at 16 if you have your parents approval and after consulting with a qualified doctor.

Hi mam, spandana speaking. I have this fear of getting attached to the people and when they get attached to me it's like I'm unable to detach from them. Sometimes developing my own imaginations about the person and overthinking about the situations. Fear of losing people who are very close to me. And i couldn't take a the closest person avoid me that's more painful and when they are trying to avoid I feel so dipressed and obsessed. I couldn't take that special avoid me .... Who was once very much interested in me and due to that I'm not interested in trusting people. And sometimes I'm loosing my self control. The urge to text them or ask them anything I want. The more the person is avoiding...the more attention I'm seeking. All i want that is that person to have interest in me again and live happily. I want him need him. But i know we can't force someone to have feelings for me. I got struck here and not able to move on. Your answer would be very much helpful to me. I have even faced a lot more difficult situations than this...the same issue 3 years back. But that person didn't give me any expectations and i had very good reason to let him go. After that this person came into my life and made me feel special again...who is now making me feel I'm worthless. That's even more painful for me. It's not that i want revenge. I need to answers why he did so...why he made wrong promises and wrong expectations. I have lost my emotional connection with my cousins...my relatives..... I even lost the person whom I loved first....but this person I'm not ready to lose. I'm done giving people all the love and care I have , they ended up leaving me and this person is also doing the same but I'm not ready to let him go yet!. There is a small hope that someday he might change. I gave all love and care that i have. I just want to be feel loved ...taken care of and valued again. Could you please help me through get out of this messy thoughts.

Hi, I am 14 years old and I have had pain in my knee for months now and I am a gymnast and sometimes when I land there is a shot of pain that goes straight through my kneecap and it feels like it just breaks and then it will hurt for about 5 minutes and then I will be fine. I can’t lunge or squat without it hurting and we have tried a lot of things but nothing is working. Thanks!

Your knee pain could be due to ligament sprains or tears, tendonitis or a meniscal tear.. Its common cause of knee pain in young athletes often caused by overuse or repeated stress on the knee joint. It can cause pain around the kneecap that worsens with activities like jumping or squatting. Contact a specialist to get it checked thoruoghly. You need to rest your knee to avoid pain and activities that aggravate your symptoms. Try using ice packs or a cold compress for 10-15 minutes to help reduce pain and swelling.
