Glycosuria- a condition passing too much glucose in your urine. How does it harm you? – By Dr Harold Gunatillake That is what we are going to discuss today. Glycosuria happens when you have glucose or other sugars like lactose, fructose, or galactose, in your urine. This is sometimes also called glucosuria. A trace of glucose in your urine is normal. Normal glucose range in urine: 0 to 0.8 mmol/l (0 to 15 mg/dL) If a random urine sample shows more than 0.25mg/ml of glucose, this is considered glycosuria and can be caused by too high blood glucose levels, a problem with your kidney filters, or both.

When Ceylon celebrated the Golden Jubilee of Queen Victoria-By Avishka Mario Senewiratne and Nilantha Perera   Statue of Queen Victoria in Colombo Since the fall of Kandy in 1815, Ceylon significant for its innumerable resources and pivotal geographic location, became a colony of the British. Queen Victoria was British Ceylon’s 4th monarch after George III, George IV, and her uncle William IV. However, unlike her predecessors or successors, the impact Victoria created in Britain and her colonies was so paramount that even her 64-year reign has been dubbed ‘the Victorian Era’. She is associated with Britain’s great age of industrial expansion, economic progress and especially the territorial expansion of the empire. When Victoria ascended to the throne in 1837, Britain was largely a trade power. During her rule, Britain became a mighty empire and the world’s most powerful nation. Victoria remained popular in Britain as well as her colonies, throughout ...

River and a National Park in Sri Lanka ” Gal Oya  ” – By Malsha -eLanka Phto Source: Stefan D’silva Gal Oya is a river and a national park in Sri Lanka. The river is 108 kilometers long and is the 16th longest river in Sri Lanka. It begins in the hills east of Badulla and flows northeast, emptying into the Indian Ocean south of Kalmunai. The national park is located in the southeast of Sri Lanka and is home to a variety of wildlife, including elephants, leopards, bears, and birds. The Gal Oya river was dammed in 1948 as part of the Gal Oya scheme. The dam created the Senanayake Samudra — the largest reservoir in Sri Lanka, at Bintenne. Resettlement of the Tamils and Sinhalese people displaced in this scheme gave rise to among the first ethnic riots in Sri Lanka. The Gal Oya project resulted in the ...
