Global Breakthrough in Lung Disease Diagnosis: Jaipur Doctor Develops “HP-SAQE” Tool to Identify Hypersensitivity Pneumonitis

Desk News — Tue, 21 Apr 2026 16:01:02 +0530

Jaipur (Rajasthan) [India], April 21: In a major leap for respiratory medicine, senior specialist Dr. Sheetu Singh has developed a pioneering diagnostic tool to identify Hypersensitivity Pneumonitis (HP)—a severe lung condition that often leads to fatal fibrosis.

The research, which boasts an impressive accuracy rate of over 90%, has gained international acclaim and has been published in Thorax, one of the world’s most prestigious journals for respiratory research.

The Crisis: A Silent Killer in South Asia
Interstitial Lung Disease (ILD) is a group of disorders that cause scarring (fibrosis) of the lungs. Hypersensitivity Pneumonitis is the leading cause of ILD. The disease is particularly rampant in South Asian countries like India, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, and Bhutan.

Tragically, due to the difficulty in pinpointing the exact environmental triggers, 50% to 70% of patients succumb to the disease within three to five years of diagnosis.

The Innovation: What is the HP-SAQE Tool?
The newly developed tool, named HP-SAQE (South Asian Questionnaire for Environmental Exposure), is a scientific scoring system specifically designed for the unique environmental exposures of the South Asian population.

How it Works:
Unlike traditional methods, this tool measures a patient’s environmental exposure and assigns a numerical value.

The Threshold: A score of 9 or higher indicates a high probability of HP, allowing doctors to distinguish it from other forms of ILD.
The Criteria: The questionnaire analyzes contact with common regional triggers, such as:
Pigeons and other birds.
Agricultural dust and farming activities.
Mold from air coolers or damp environments.
Wood dust, flour dust, and industrial fumes.
The Analysis: It evaluates the duration, frequency, and location of the exposure, and whether these factors correlate with the onset of symptoms.

Filling a Global Gap
The need for such a tool was highlighted in the 2020 international guidelines by the American Thoracic Society (ATS) and the European Respiratory Society (ERS).

“Reaching the correct cause in complex lung diseases is often the biggest challenge,” says Dr. Sheetu Singh. “In India, nearly 40% of patients suffering from lung fibrosis have HP. Because its symptoms mimic other lung diseases, diagnosis is often delayed. HP-SAQE simplifies this complexity.”

Dr. Singh’s research involved clinical data from patients across India, Nepal, Pakistan, and Sri Lanka, ensuring the tool’s relevance to the region’s specific lifestyle and climate.

Symptoms and Prevention: What You Need to Know
HP often presents with symptoms that can be mistaken for a chronic cold or asthma, including:

Persistent shortness of breath and a cough lasting months.
Gradual weight loss and constant fatigue.
Chest tightness and swelling in the feet.
Preventive Measures Recommended by Experts:
Avoid Birds: Maintain distance from pigeons; prevent them from nesting on balconies or windows.
Maintenance: Regularly clean air coolers and AC filters to prevent mold and dust buildup.
Home Hygiene: Ensure proper ventilation and sunlight to prevent dampness and seepage.

This breakthrough not only marks a proud moment for the Indian medical community but offers a literal lifeline to millions of patients across South Asia who previously faced a bleak prognosis due to misdiagnosis.

Preventive Health Checkups vs Diagnostic Tests: What Does Your Family Policy Pay For?

Desk News — Mon, 20 Apr 2026 21:00:15 +0530

New Delhi [India], April 16: Many people expect every medical test to be covered, but insurers usually decide based on why the test was done. Preventive health check-ups are routine screenings done when you feel fine, while diagnostic tests are done to confirm a problem or guide treatment.

A health insurance policy for a family may cover both, but often under different terms and conditions. In this article, you will learn what is typically paid for, what may be excluded, and how to avoid surprises at claim time.

Preventive Checkup vs. Diagnostic Test: The Simple Difference

A preventive health check-up is something you plan, even when you feel healthy. You do it to catch early warning signs, like routine screenings or an annual health package.

A diagnostic test is different. It happens when there is a symptom or a concern, and your doctor orders tests to find the reason, confirm a condition, or monitor recovery.

This difference matters because insurance usually covers diagnostic tests more easily than preventive tests, unless your policy clearly includes a preventive check-up benefit.

What Family Policies Usually Pay for

Most family plans mainly cover hospital stays. So, tests are usually covered best when they are connected to a hospital admission or a treatment that the policy covers.

Your policy is more likely to pay for tests when:

They are part of a hospitalisation bill during treatment.
They are done just before admission, and your plan allows pre-hospitalisation expenses for the same illness.
They are done after discharge, and your plan allows post-hospitalisation expenses for the same claim.
They are connected to a covered daycare procedure, where admission is not required, but the procedure is covered.

When people compare the best health insurance in India, they often focus on sum insured and cashless hospitals. Test coverage rules are equally important because they affect daily out-of-pocket spending.

How Preventive Checkups are Usually Covered

Preventive health checkups are typically offered as a wellness benefit. This benefit may be included in some plans or offered under specific conditions. In many policies, it is not the main promise of the plan, so you need to read the benefit wording carefully.

In simple terms, preventive checkup cover usually works like this:

It may be available only after you complete a certain period with the policy.
It may have a defined process, such as using a partner centre or following an insurer-led booking method.
You may need to submit invoices and reports, even if the amount is small.
The benefit may cover only certain tests or packages, as described in the policy terms.

When are Diagnostic Tests Usually Covered

Diagnostic tests are more likely to be paid for when they are medically necessary and clearly connected to treatment. The link to a doctor’s advice and to a covered illness is what strengthens your case.

Here is how it typically plays out in real life.

Before admission: If your plan covers pre-hospitalisation expenses, tests can be payable when they are prescribed, and the hospital admission happens for the same condition.
During admission, Tests done in the hospital are usually easier to settle because they are part of the inpatient bill and treatment notes.
After discharge: If your plan covers post-hospitalisation expenses, follow-up tests may be payable when they are part of recovery or monitoring for the same claim.

OPD tests are handled differently. If you are not admitted to a hospital and your policy does not include OPD cover, the insurer may not pay for those tests, even if your doctor suggested them. That is why you should check whether your family plan covers only hospital stays or also outpatient expenses.

Final Thoughts

Preventive checkups and diagnostic tests may look similar on a lab bill, but insurance treats them differently. Preventive tests are usually covered only if your plan offers a wellness benefit, and you follow its rules.

Diagnostic tests are more likely to be covered when they are prescribed and tied to treatment, especially around hospitalisation. If you understand this clearly, your health insurance policy for your family becomes easier to use, and you avoid unpleasant surprises.

Healing Hospital Chandigarh Introduces Adaptive DBS for Parkinson’s Disease

Desk News — Mon, 20 Apr 2026 21:00:05 +0530

First in Tricity; among select centres in India to offer next-generation brain stimulation therapy

Chandigarh [India], April 17: Healing Hospital Chandigarh today announced the launch of Adaptive Deep Brain Stimulation (aDBS), an advanced therapy for Parkinson’s disease. With this development, the hospital becomes the first centre in Tricity and among a limited number of centres in India to offer this next-generation treatment.

This milestone builds on the hospital’s established expertise in Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) surgery, with multiple successful procedures performed for patients across North India. Healing Hospital has emerged as a trusted referral centre for neurology and neurosurgery, managing complex brain and spine conditions across the region.

Adaptive DBS represents a significant advancement over conventional DBS. While traditional systems deliver continuous stimulation, adaptive DBS uses real-time brain signal monitoring to automatically adjust stimulation levels—offering a more precise and personalized approach to Parkinson’s treatment.

In simple terms, the procedure involves implanting a small device (similar to a pacemaker) that sends controlled electrical signals to specific areas of the brain, helping regulate abnormal activity and improve movement-related symptoms.

“Patients with Parkinson’s often experience fluctuations throughout the day. With adaptive DBS, we aim to improve stability and reduce these variations, leading to better day-to-day functioning,” said Dr. J.P. Singhvi, Neurologist, Healing Hospital Chandigarh.

“Deep Brain Stimulation has already transformed the management of advanced Parkinson’s disease. Adaptive DBS further refines this by making therapy responsive to the patient’s brain activity in real time,” said Dr. Jaspreet Randhawa, Neurosurgeon, Healing Hospital Chandigarh.

Commenting on the development, Mr. Sahibjit Singh Sandhu and Mr. Drishmeet Singh Buttar, Managing Partners, Healing Hospital Chandigarh, said:
“This advancement reflects our continued focus on bringing cutting-edge medical technologies to North India. Our goal is to ensure that patients in the region have access to globally aligned, advanced treatment options without the need to travel far. Adaptive DBS is an important step in strengthening our neurosciences programme.”

Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) is a well-established treatment, with meaningful improvement seen in approximately 70–80% of appropriately selected patients. Adaptive DBS builds on this by aiming to further improve symptom consistency, reduce fluctuations, and enhance overall quality of life.

Patients typically require a hospital stay of 2–4 days and are able to resume routine activities within 1–2 weeks, with further programming and optimization carried out over time.

Adaptive DBS at Healing Hospital is enabled through advanced, sensing-enabled neurostimulation technology developed by Medtronic, a global leader in medical devices. With this development, Healing Hospital joins a select group of centres in India offering Adaptive DBS, alongside leading institutions such as Medanta – The Medicity and Apollo Hospitals Chennai.

Parkinson’s disease is a progressive neurological disorder that affects movement, coordination, and quality of life. Patients with long-standing disease, medication-related complications, or motor fluctuations may benefit from advanced therapies such as DBS surgery.

With the introduction of Adaptive DBS, Healing Hospital Chandigarh further strengthens its position as a centre for advanced Parkinson’s treatment and brain stimulation therapies in North India, bringing global-standard care closer to patients in the region.

Healing Hospital Chandigarh is a NABH-accredited and one of the largest private healthcare institutions in the region, known for its clinical excellence, rapid growth, and strong focus on advanced medical technologies. The hospital offers 25+ specialties and caters to patients from across Punjab, Haryana, Himachal Pradesh, and beyond.

The hospital is particularly recognized for its expertise in neurology, neurosurgery, spine surgery, and minimally invasive procedures, supported by modern infrastructure and an experienced clinical team. Driven by a vision to deliver global-standard healthcare, Healing Hospital continues to integrate advanced technologies with patient-centric care to improve outcomes and accessibility.

Choosing The Best Health Insurance Company in India: Look Beyond Premium And Sum Insured

Desk News — Mon, 20 Apr 2026 20:31:17 +0530

Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], April 17: When you compare health plans, it is easy to focus only on the premium and sum insured. Both matter, but they do not tell you how smooth your experience may be when you actually need medical cover.

If you are trying to shortlist the best health insurance companies, you need to look deeper. A well-chosen insurer is not just about affordability. It is about clarity, help, flexibility, and how confidently the programme fits your real healthcare needs.

Why Premium And Sum Insured are Only the Starting Point

Premium tells you what you pay. The sum insured tells you the broad financial cover available. Neither, on its own, tells you how useful the policy may feel during a medical emergency.

A more balanced evaluation should include the following:

Wording clarity: You should be able to understand what is covered, what is restricted, and what falls outside the plan without struggling through vague language.
Scope of Coverage: Look at the range of treatments, hospitalisation benefits, pre- and post-hospitalisation cover, daycare procedures, and other built-in features.
Exclusions and Limits: A plan may appear attractive at first glance, but certain exclusions, condition-specific waiting periods, or treatment limits can affect its real value.
Renewal Terms: Long-term dependability matters. You should review renewal conditions and continuity benefits carefully before making a decision.

What to Review Before Shortlisting an Insurer

If you want to identify one of the best insurance companies for your needs, it helps to examine how the insurer operates, not just how the plan is priced.

Pay attention to these factors:

Claim Support Experience: A policy becomes meaningful when claim assistance is easy to access and simple to understand. Look for smooth communication, guided help, and transparent documentation requirements.
Cashless Hospital Access: The convenience of cashless treatment can make a major difference during stressful situations. Review the insurer’s hospital network and check whether it matches the cities and medical facilities you may prefer.
Customer Service Quality: Responsive service is important at every stage, from buying the policy to renewal and claims. Good support should feel accessible, informed, and timely.
Digital Convenience: Many buyers now expect access, claim tracking, and service requests to be available digitally. Ease of use matters, especially when you need quick help.

Why the Suitability Matters More Than a Low Price

A lower premium may seem appealing, but the right plan is the one that suits your profile, family needs, and expected medical requirements. Cost should be weighed against usefulness.

When assessing suitability, consider:

Your Family Structure: Individual cover and family-based cover work differently. Your choice should depend on who needs protection.
Health and Lifestyle Needs: Existing conditions, recurring medical concerns, and stage of life can influence what kind of features you should prioritise.
Treatment Preferences: If you prefer access to certain hospitals, specialists, or city-based healthcare options, your policy should support that preference.
Flexibility at Renewal: A good policy should continue to remain relevant as your needs evolve over time.

How to Read the Fine Print Without Missing What Matters

The fine print often decides whether a policy feels reliable when you need to use it. This is where many buyers overlook important details while comparing the best health insurance companies.

Focus on reading these parts carefully:

Waiting Period Clauses: Understand when specific benefits begin and how long certain conditions may remain uncovered.
Sub-Limits And Restrictions: Room category limits, treatment caps, and benefit-specific conditions can influence your out-of-pocket spending.
Co-Payment Terms: If the policy includes a mandatory share of medical expenses from your side, you should know when it applies.
Definition of Covered Treatments: Coverage can vary depending on how medical procedures and treatment categories are defined in the wording.

What a Thoughtful Comparison Really Looks Like

Choosing among the best insurance companies is less about finding a programme that looks impressive on paper and more about selecting one that feels dependable in real life.

A thoughtful comparison usually comes down to:

Consistency Over Attractive Marketing
Clarity Over Complexity
Support Over Assumptions
Suitability Over Surface-Level Price Comparison

When you evaluate an insurer through this wider lens, you give yourself a better chance of choosing cover that works for you, not just cover that looks competitive at first glance.

Conclusion

The search for the best insurance companies should go beyond premiums and sum insured. A stronger decision comes from reviewing coverage depth, terms, service quality, claim support, and overall fit with your needs.

Before you choose any plan, take time to read the programme carefully and compare it with a clear head. The right insurance company is the one that offers confidence, clarity, and support when it matters most.

World Autism Awareness Day: Diet and Exercise key to cure Autism

Desk News — Wed, 15 Apr 2026 12:00:16 +0530

Ahmedabad (Gujarat) [India], April 04: Addressing reporters on the eve of World Autism Awareness Day on April 2,2026 Dr Ketan Patel of Specialty Homeopathy said that 80 percent of autism cases can be cured through diet and exercise and in 20 percent of children, medicines are also required along with diet due to metabolic and genetic reasons.

Homeopathy has proven to be very effective in treating in such genetic, metabolic & mitochondrial autism (Syndromic AUTISM). Genetic effects can be largely eliminated or controlled through homeopathic medicines.

Dr Ketan Patel said that the effects of genes affecting sodium channel, potassium channel, aqua channel, epileptic, Encephalopathy, intellectual and other protein disruption can be eliminated up to 90 percent with homeopathic medicines along with diet and exercise. The research of these experts has found that only 10 percent of genes cannot be improved.

Dr Ketan Patel further said that “The protocols for autism treatment of Western countries do not show the effect of treatment in a certain time. There is a shortage of doctors trained to treat autism in India. Therefore, it is necessary for us to improve the protocols of Western countries and formulate our own new protocols. Indian doctors are far ahead in the treatment of autism, compared to Western countries. Therefore, it is necessary for us to implement a new protocol with diet, exercise and individual treatment plan in the treatment of autism.”

Dr Jayesh Sheth said that autism is a type of disease in which children are not mentally retarded, but due to some obstruction or disturbance in the wiring of neurons in their brain, their ability to speak and think is affected. Such a gene problem is found in 50 percent of autism cases. The earlier such children are diagnosed, the more effective the treatment and guidance is.

Dr Patel and Dr Sheth further said that currently, doctors are providing up to Rs. 5,00,000 annually for the treatment, genetic testing and related therapy of more than 100 needy children suffering from autism. In the coming time, doctors from all branches like Allopathic, Homeopathic, Ayurvedic, who are doing treatment and research in the field of autism in Gujarat, are committed to jointly work with the therapists and bring about rapid treatment and improvement.

1 in every 36 children born worldwide is affected by autism. This figure is considered extremely alarming, as the number of children suffering from autism is higher than the percentage of children suffering from life-threatening diseases such as cancer, diabetes and HIV worldwide.

What is autism?

It is a disease affecting the neurological, endocrinal, and gastrointestinal systems, diagnosed in children between the ages of 18 and 24 months and its symptoms are as follows.

The child does not speak on time or does not speak at all cannot use sentences after speaking a few words.

Does not make eye contact with family members such as mother, father, brother, sister.

Does not play with children of the same age group when they are playing and prefers to go away and play alone.

Laughs and cries for no reason.
Plays with a toy, object or piece of clothing for a long time, sleeps with it.
Wiggles fingers, jumps, keeps moving around in one place.
Holds hands over ears in fear of the sound of mixers, vacuum cleaners, firecrackers.
Throws things and screams.
Hurts body with teeth, hits head against wall.

It is advisable that if two or more of the above symptoms are observed in a child take your child to a doctor to get diagnosed with autism and get proper treatment. The earlier your child is diagnosed with autism or a similar condition, the greater the child’s chances of recovering from these symptoms.

Scientists, doctors, universities, pharmaceutical and diagnostic companies around the world are working to diagnose autism more quickly.

In order to make people aware of this disease, the World Health Organization (WHO) has declared April 2 as World Autism Awareness Day every year and the entire month of April as Autism Awareness Month to spread awareness and information about autism. During this month, famous places around the world are decorated with blue lights. Such as Sydney Opera – Australia, Burj Khalifa – Dubai, Leaning Tower – Italy, London Bridge – UK, Pyramids of Giza – Egypt, Eiffel Tower – France (Paris) are decorated with blue lights.

Diagnosis of autism

This disease, which is seen in children from the age of 18 months to 30 months, cannot be detected by any single test or other medical report such as CT SCAN, MRI SCAN, PET SCAN or EEG so apart from the above report the diagnosis can be made in the following two stages.

In the first stage, to know whether the physical and mental development of the children is happening according to their age or not, the child’s learning ability, his way of speaking, words and sentences along with his facial expressions are studied and recorded and the development rate of the children (Physical & Mental Development) is kept in mind at a certain time interval such as 12 months, 18 months or 24 months i.e. at the age of 2 years. In this above study, the diagnosis is made on the basis of the answers of scientifically prepared questionnaires to the child’s parents, his doctors and the child’s caregivers.

The second stage is diagnosed by doctors who specialize in this disease such as a Developmental Paediatrician, Child Neurologist, Child Psychiatrist/Psychologist (specialist in child neurology and behavioural disorders), and DAN (Defeat Autism Now) doctors.

Causes of autism spectrum disorder

Doctors and scientists around the world are trying to find out the causes of this disease but have not been able to come up with a specific cause. However based on the medical history records of old cases/new cases and the similarities and differences in them, they have come to the following conclusions.

Chronic infection in the mother’s body that affects the mental development of the child during pregnancy, such as Torch Infection.
Hormonal imbalance due to the endocrine gland in the mother, thyroid deficiency.
Pollution in the atmosphere, pollution in drinking water

Genetic disorder

Tuberculosis disease in family members
Epilepsy & Seizure Disorder
Serotonin and neurotransmitter related disease

Many children develop autism after receiving the MMR vaccine, and doctors around the world have differing opinions on the matter. According to the CDC USA (CDC – Centre for Disease Control & Prevention), 1 in 31 children born worldwide are affected by autism, and this figure is considered alarming, as it is more than the combined incidence of cancer, diabetes, and HIV.

Dr Anurag Mehrotra’s Swasth Suraksha Yatra and Siddh Hospital’s Hospital on Wheels Take the Fight Against Non‑Communicable Diseases to India’s Doorstep

Desk News — Wed, 15 Apr 2026 12:00:12 +0530

New Delhi [India], April 07: India is confronting a health crisis that does not spread through infection, yet affects millions silently and relentlessly. Non‑communicable diseases (NCDs) such as hypertension, diabetes, heart disease, stroke, cancer, and chronic respiratory illnesses now account for the majority of deaths in the country. Unlike communicable diseases, these conditions develop gradually, often without obvious symptoms, and are frequently diagnosed only after irreversible damage has already been done.

According to the World Health Organization, non‑communicable diseases were responsible for at least 43 million deaths globally in 2021. In India, the numbers are even more alarming. A recent government explainer based on the Economic Survey 2025–26 reported that NCDs accounted for 57 per cent of all deaths in the country between 2021 and 2023. The shift is unmistakable: India’s disease burden is no longer dominated by infections alone, but by lifestyle‑related and chronic illnesses that demand early detection and long‑term management.

A National Wake‑Up Call

The growing impact of NCDs has found reflection at the highest policy level. In the Union Budget 2026–27, the government formally acknowledged that India’s health challenges are increasingly shaped by diseases such as diabetes, cancer, and autoimmune disorders. The Budget also announced Biopharma SHAKTI, with an outlay of ₹10,000 crore over five years, underlining the importance of innovation, prevention, and healthcare preparedness.

At the same time, national screening efforts under the NCD programme have expanded rapidly, with more than 40 crore screenings each for hypertension and diabetes already conducted. Yet experts agree that screening numbers alone are not enough. The real challenge lies in reaching populations for whom access, affordability, and time remain major barriers.

Taking Healthcare Beyond Hospital Walls

In western Uttar Pradesh, Siddh Multispeciality Hospital has chosen to respond to this challenge by moving healthcare closer to where people live and work. Under the leadership of Dr Anurag Mehrotra, the hospital has launched a focused public‑health initiative centred on prevention, awareness, and early diagnosis of non‑communicable diseases.

At the heart of this effort is Swasth Suraksha Yatra, powered by Siddh Hospital’s Hospital on Wheels—a mobile healthcare unit designed to deliver essential diagnostics and screening services directly to villages, factories, and underserved communities.

“For most people, delaying a health check is not a choice—it is a compulsion,” says Dr Mehrotra. “Missing a day of work can mean losing wages. Travelling to a hospital can mean postponing care indefinitely. Our goal is to remove those barriers by taking healthcare to the people.”

Know Your Numbers: A Simple but Powerful Idea

Central to Siddh Hospital’s outreach is the Know Your Numbers campaign. The idea is simple yet transformative: every individual should know their key health indicators just as easily as they know their mobile number or Aadhaar number.

Under the campaign, individuals are encouraged to routinely track:

Their weight, Body Mass Index (BMI), and waist size, which together reflect obesity‑related risk
Blood pressure, a critical marker for heart disease and stroke
Blood sugar levels, essential for early detection and control of diabetes
Cholesterol levels, closely linked to long‑term cardiac health
Family risk score, indicating inherited vulnerability to NCDs
Average exercise duration, reflecting daily physical activity levels
Sleep time, vital for metabolic, hormonal, and cardiovascular balance
Screen time, increasingly associated with sedentary behaviour and lifestyle disorders

“NCDs are silent killers,” Dr Mehrotra explains. “They don’t always announce themselves with pain or emergencies. But if people know their numbers early, they can act early. Prevention begins with awareness, and awareness begins with knowing your numbers.”

World Health Day: Science as the First Line of Defence

Marking World Health Day, Dr Anurag Mehrotra reaffirmed the importance of evidence‑based medicine and scientific thinking in public health.

“On this World Health Day, we would like to dedicate ourselves as ambassadors of science—helping patients and communities through scientifically guided care, and showing why evidence saves lives,” he said.

The message captures the core philosophy of the Swasth Suraksha Yatra: informed decisions, guided by data and science, are essential to preventing disease, reducing complications, and saving lives at scale.

Hospital on Wheels: Access That Saves Time and Lives

Far more than a medical van, Siddh Hospital’s Hospital on Wheels functions as a mobile diagnostic and care unit. It is equipped with ECG, X‑ray, pathology testing, pulmonary function tests, echo support, ventilator support, ultrasound (where permitted), and integrated health‑education systems.

By entering factory premises, labour clusters, and villages, the initiative significantly reduces hidden healthcare costs such as travel, wage loss, and delayed diagnosis. According to hospital programme data, Siddh Hospital has conducted over 230 free medical camps and reached more than 20,000 people, turning preventive screening into a practical livelihood‑protection tool.

Looking Ahead

As India confronts the long‑term impact of lifestyle diseases, Siddh Hospital is expanding its footprint. Along with its base in Moradabad, the institution is launching Siddh Care in Greater Noida, extending preventive and specialised healthcare services to urban and semi‑urban populations.

Under Dr Anurag Mehrotra’s leadership, the Hospital on Wheels continues to evolve into a true Swasth Suraksha Yatra—carrying not just medical equipment, but a clear message for every household: know your numbers, know your risk, and act before disease takes control.

Expanding Preventive Care

Alongside its base in Moradabad, Siddh Hospital is expanding its services with the launch of Siddh Care in Greater Noida, extending preventive and specialised healthcare to urban and semi‑urban populations.

With the Swasth Suraksha Yatra, Siddh Hospital aims to reinforce a simple but powerful message for households across India: know your numbers, know your risk, and act before disease takes control.

About Siddh Multispeciality Hospital

Siddh Multispeciality Hospital is a leading healthcare institution focused on preventive, diagnostic, and specialised medical care. Through initiatives such as the Hospital on Wheels and the Know Your Numbers campaign, Siddh Hospital is committed to expanding access to scientifically guided healthcare across communities.

The Real Burden of Arthritis Isn’t the Diagnosis. It’s the Daily Pain That Follows

Desk News — Wed, 15 Apr 2026 12:00:07 +0530

Namaste Organics pain oil for arthritis & it’s long-term pain management.

New Delhi [India], April 08: Arthritis comes in many forms — degenerative, inflammatory, even autoimmune. But for those living with it, the experience often converges in one place: persistent arthritis pain.

The kind that shapes everyday life.
Climbing stairs becomes effort. Sitting too long becomes uncomfortable. Sleep gets interrupted. Movement needs planning.

Over time, it’s not the diagnosis that defines the condition —
it’s the daily negotiation with pain.

A Growing but Under-Recognised Problem

Arthritis pain is one of the most widespread forms of chronic pain in India.

80–100 million Indians live with joint and musculoskeletal conditions
Chronic pain affects 1 in 5 adults, especially after 50

For many, arthritis pain isn’t occasional.
It is chronic, recurring, and often progressive — affecting mobility, independence, and overall quality of life.

How Arthritis Pain Is Managed Today

Most patients don’t rely on one solution.
They rely on many.

Painkillers for immediate relief.
Anti-inflammatory medicines for swelling.
Steroids during flare-ups.
Topical oils for temporary comfort.
Physiotherapy or mobility treatments for function.

Individually, each plays a role.
Collectively, they create a cycle.

Monthly spends can reach ₹5,000–₹10,000, yet arthritis pain continues.

Because arthritis pain is not a single-layer problem —
and fragmented solutions rarely deliver consistent, long-term comfort.

What’s Been Missing in Arthritis Pain Relief

The gap isn’t a lack of treatments.
It’s the absence of a complete approach to arthritis pain management.

Patients need something that:

Works across different aspects of pain
Can be used consistently over time
Does not add to systemic strain
Supports movement, not just temporary relief

This is where thinking is beginning to shift —
from reactive, short-term fixes
to more integrated, sustainable ways of managing arthritis pain.

A Different Way to Approach Arthritis Pain

Traditional systems like Ayurveda have long approached pain differently — not as something to suppress, but something to manage over time.

Ingredients like Vijaya have historically been used to support pain relief, ease inflammation, and improve overall comfort.

What makes this approach relevant today is its ability to work across multiple dimensions of arthritis pain — rather than addressing them in isolation — making care simpler and more cohesive.

From Many Solutions to One System

Topical oils have always been part of arthritis care.

But most are designed for short-term soothing.

What’s now emerging is a more integrated format —
bringing together multiple benefits into a single pain oil designed for arthritis pain.

Formulations such as the pain oil developed by Namaste Organics reflect this shift — combining plant-based actives with supportive ingredients to create a more structured approach to arthritis pain relief.

Not positioned as just another oil —
but as a more complete, daily-use pain oil for arthritis pain management.

What This Means for Patients

For someone living with arthritis pain, the goal isn’t complexity.
It’s consistency.

A pain oil that can be used daily.
A solution that reduces dependence on multiple interventions.
An approach that supports movement — not restricts it.

Because ultimately, arthritis pain isn’t just about discomfort.
It’s about how freely one can live.

A Shift That’s Already Beginning

The way arthritis pain is being managed is slowly evolving.

From multiple solutions… to more complete ones.
From temporary relief… to sustained support.

Because the real challenge was never the lack of options.
It was the lack of a cohesive approach.

And that’s where solutions like Namaste Organics pain oil for arthritis pain are beginning to redefine how long-term pain can be managed.

ASG Eye Hospital Sees Rising Demand for LASIK Surgery in India

Desk News — Wed, 15 Apr 2026 12:00:03 +0530

New Delhi [India], April 11: Vision problems have a way of sneaking up quietly. At some point, staring at a screen past 7 PM starts to feel like a chore. Glasses fog up at the worst moments. Night drives that used to feel fine now need extra focus. That’s usually when people pull out their phones and type LASIK surgery near me. ASG Eye Hospital, one of India’s leading eye care networks, is seeing a growing number of patients opting for LASIK surgery for long-term vision correction.

Over the past few years, demand for LASIK surgery in India has steadily increased, especially among working professionals and students. Longer screen hours, earlier onset of myopia, and lifestyle shifts are quietly pushing more people toward vision correction procedures. Alongside that, there’s a growing interest in affordable LASIK surgery in India, especially among younger working professionals.

This is why searches for “LASIK surgery near me” and “best LASIK eye surgery in India” continue to rise. But most people don’t start with technical questions. What they really want to know is simpler: will this actually make daily life easier?

Rising Demand for LASIK Surgery Near Me in India

The way people think about vision correction has quietly shifted. A few years ago, most people accepted glasses as a permanent fix. Now, that thinking has changed, and it’s happening much earlier in life.

Searching for LASIK surgery near me isn’t just about finding the closest clinic anymore. It’s about accessibility, the ability to get proper follow-up care without driving across the city. Most patients want a place they can return to easily, not just somewhere they visit once and never again.

There’s a pattern that shows up repeatedly in consultations. People walk in saying their prescription hasn’t changed in years, but only now are they seriously thinking about surgery. The hesitation usually isn’t about the procedure itself; it’s about whether the results will hold.

Will my number come back after LASIK?

In most cases, correction remains stable. That said, age-related changes can still develop later in life, which is a normal part of how the eye ages, not a sign that the surgery failed.

Advanced LASIK Technology for Better Vision Outcomes

Advancements in LASIK technology have significantly improved precision, safety, and visual outcomes. The older blade-based approach is largely being phased out in favour of femtosecond lasers, which produce thinner, more exact corneal flaps with a much smaller margin for error.

Another meaningful shift is the use of wavefront-guided systems. Rather than correcting only the basic power of the eye, these systems map subtle irregularities that a standard prescription might miss entirely. Pre-surgical tests like corneal topography and OCT (Optical Coherence Tomography) have become part of a thorough evaluation.

What this has resulted in:

More predictable visual outcomes
Lower chances of complications
Faster recovery in most cases

Expectations still need to stay grounded. Vision often improves within a day or two of surgery, but full clarity may take a bit longer, depending on how the eye heals. That varies from person to person.

Why ASG Eye Hospital Is a Preferred Choice for LASIK Surgery

When someone searches for the Best LASIK doctor, the question behind the question is usually: who can actually be trusted with something this important? Vision isn’t something people take lightly.

ASG Eye Hospital has established itself as one of India’s trusted eye care providers, with a strong presence across multiple cities. The process, from initial screening through to post-surgery follow-ups, tends to follow a consistent structure across all centres.

For over 20+ years, ASG Eye Hospital has been performing LASIK surgeries across India. With 180+ centres and lakhs of LASIK surgeries successfully performed over the years, the experience built up across the network reflects decades of consistent practice and patient trust.

Patients often mention smaller things that stuck with them, such as whether the procedure was explained clearly. Whether their questions felt heard, rather than rushed past. How smoothly the follow-ups were handled. These details don’t show up on a brochure, but they matter more than most people expect when it comes to trust.

There’s also a practical side to consider. If someone relocates to a different city, being able to continue care at another centre within the same network removes a layer of inconvenience that patients genuinely appreciate.

LASIK Surgery Cost in India – A Key Search Factor

Cost plays a role, whether people admit it openly or not. Searches for LASIK surgery near me almost always end up leading to price comparisons.

The cost of LASIK surgery in India typically ranges between ₹30,000 and ₹70,000 per eye, depending on the technology and customisation involved. The gap in pricing usually comes down to whether the procedure is standard, bladeless, or topography-guided.

A common question: why is there such a wide price difference between clinics?

It almost always comes back to the technology being used, how thorough the pre-surgery diagnostics are, and the surgeon’s level of experience. A lower price tag doesn’t always include detailed evaluation or post-surgery care, and that’s worth factoring in before deciding.

People looking for affordable LASIK surgery in India tend to look carefully at what the Cost of LASIK surgery in India actually includes, not just the headline number.

What Patients Can Expect from LASIK Surgery

The process is fairly straightforward once you know what to expect, and knowing what happens at each stage can take away a lot of the anxiety.

Before anything else, tests like tear film analysis and corneal thickness measurement are done. These aren’t just formalities; they’re what determine whether LASIK is actually suitable for a given patient. The surgery itself takes around 10–15 minutes for both eyes. Numbing drops are used, so there’s no pain during the procedure.

Patients are guided through each step to ensure clarity, safety, and comfort throughout the process.

Some temporary effects are common afterwards:

Dryness in the eyes
Sensitivity to light
Mild glare at night

Most of these settle on their own. Vision typically improves quickly, but full stabilisation can take a few days to a few weeks. Interestingly, many patients go in expecting instant perfect clarity. What actually happens is a gradual sharpening, which can be surprising if you’re not prepared for it.

Increasing Trust in Organised Eye Care Chains

People ask more questions before choosing a healthcare provider than they did even five years ago. That shift is visible in how they approach eye care, too.

The rise of organised and technology-driven LASIK centres in India reflects this shift in patient expectations. Structured processes, clear protocols, and access to up-to-date equipment are no longer optional; they’re what patients now look for before committing.

A greater number of people also prefer networks to single clinics. It’s not that independent practices aren’t good, but people feel safer when they know the same standards apply to all the centres they visit.

The ASG Eye Hospital is part of a bigger trend that is spreading organized, consistent eye care to India’s smaller cities and towns as well as its big cities.

Final Thoughts

The search for LASIK surgery near me usually starts with convenience, but it tends to end with something more important: trust and a clear understanding of what to expect.

If you’re searching for an eye hospital near me, ASG Eye Hospital has an extensive network of centres across Mumbai, Pune, Delhi, and many other cities, a reflection of how organised eye care is spreading across India.

As more people explore the best LASIK eye surgery in India, the focus is slowly shifting from just availability to consistency and long-term outcomes. Patients considering LASIK surgery are encouraged to consult experienced specialists, understand their eligibility, and choose a centre that offers advanced technology and reliable follow-up care.

For those looking to take the next step, they can visit ASG Eye Hospital or book a consultation to better understand whether LASIK surgery is the right choice for their vision needs.

Top 10 Best Creatine in India (2026) — Tested, Ranked & Honestly Reviewed

Desk News — Wed, 15 Apr 2026 11:30:18 +0530

New Delhi [India], April 08: Finding the best creatine in India is harder than it looks. Walk into any supplement store or open Amazon, and you’ll find dozens of options — all claiming to be the best, most researched, and highest quality. Most of them are selling you the same thing in different packaging.

We spent time going through formulas, customer reviews, ingredient labels, and third-party testing claims to put this list together. No brand paid for placement here. The ranking is based on formula quality, value for money, user feedback, and how honestly each brand represents what’s inside the tub.

Here are the top 10 creatine supplements in India right now.

1. MuscleBlaze Creatine Monohydrate

MuscleBlaze is the most recognisable sports nutrition brand in India and their creatine monohydrate is the go-to entry point for most beginners. The formula is straightforward — micronised creatine monohydrate, 3g per serving, no fillers. Quality is consistent and the price point is accessible.

What it does well: Brand trust, wide availability across Amazon, Flipkart, and offline stores, FSSAI compliant.

Best for: First-time creatine users who want a reliable, no-frills option.

2. Wellcore Micronised Creatine Monohydrate

Wellcore has aggressively captured market share through heavy influencer investment — and it has worked. Their creatine monohydrate is micronised, mixes reasonably well, and comes in a range of flavours that make daily use more enjoyable. Their “Trustified” blind-testing certification gets attention in ads.

What it does well: Strong brand recall, multiple flavours, wide distribution, good marketing.

Best for: Users who prioritise brand recognition and flavour variety over formula depth.

3. Optimum Nutrition (ON) Micronised Creatine Powder

ON is the benchmark name in global sports nutrition. Their creatine is pure, unflavoured monohydrate with decades of research backing the brand. If you walk into a gym in any city in India and ask a seasoned athlete what creatine they trust, ON will come up often.

What it does well: Global credibility, consistent quality, widely available.

Best for: Athletes who want the reassurance of a globally trusted name.

4. Prorganiq Advanced Creatine — Monohydrate + HCL + Nitrate

While every other product on this list gives you one form of creatine, Prorganiq Advanced Creatine gives you three — Creatine Monohydrate, Creatine HCL, and Creatine Nitrate — combined in a single 3g scoop.

Each form has a distinct role. Monohydrate builds the strength foundation. HCL absorbs 38 times faster than regular creatine with zero water retention and no loading phase required. Nitrate converts to nitric oxide, drives vasodilation, and delivers blood flow and pump through every set.

What it does well: Triple-form formula, Eurofins tested, USA-sourced ingredients, no loading phase, no bloat, 5 flavours, free shipping, COD available, genuinely competitive pricing.

Best for: Serious gym-goers who research their supplements and want the most complete creatine formula available in India right now.

What it does well: International brand credibility, clean formula, accessible pricing.

Best for: Users who prefer internationally recognised brands.

6. AS-IT-IS Nutrition Creatine Monohydrate

AS-IT-IS has built a strong reputation on one thing — giving you exactly what the label says, nothing added. Their creatine is unflavoured, pure monohydrate, third-party tested, and priced competitively. The brand has earned genuine trust in the community for label transparency.

What it does well: Clean formula, no additives, budget-friendly, honest branding.

Best for: Athletes who want pure monohydrate at the lowest possible cost per serving.

7. Healthkart HK Vitals Creatine Monohydrate

HK Vitals is Healthkart’s in-house brand and benefits enormously from the platform’s distribution reach. The creatine is basic monohydrate but the combination of competitive pricing, COD availability, and Healthkart’s customer service infrastructure makes it a practical choice for buyers who prefer buying from a trusted platform.

What it does well: Platform trust, accessibility, good pricing.

Best for: Healthkart regular customers who want the convenience of a trusted platform.

8. Big Muscles Nutrition Real Creatine

Big Muscles has a loyal following in India’s gym community and their creatine is a clean, honest product. It does not pretend to be more than monohydrate and prices itself accordingly. Good mixability and a no-nonsense approach to supplementation.

What it does well: Community trust, honest positioning, competitive pricing.

Best for: Athletes already in the Big Muscles ecosystem who want brand continuity.

9. Nutrabay Gold Creatine Monohydrate

Nutrabay’s own brand has quietly built credibility among budget-conscious supplement users. Their creatine monohydrate is FSSAI compliant, reasonably priced, and available through their own platform with reliable delivery. Not a flashy product but a dependable one.

What it does well: Value pricing, platform reliability, clean formula.

Best for: Budget-conscious buyers who shop primarily on Nutrabay.

10. GNC Pro Performance Creatine Monohydrate

GNC’s global retail presence in India gives this product a credibility floor that most domestic brands cannot match. Their creatine is standard monohydrate available across GNC stores nationwide. The price is premium relative to competitors but the brand carries weight with consumers who associate retail presence with quality assurance.

What it does well: Retail availability, global brand trust, quality consistency.

Best for: Buyers who prefer walking into a physical store and purchasing from a globally recognised brand.

Final Thoughts — What Should You Actually Buy?

If you are buying creatine for the first time and just want to understand how it works, start with MuscleBlaze or Wellcore. Clean, affordable, widely available.

If you have been training consistently for a year or more and want a formula that matches the seriousness of your training, Prorganiq Advanced Creatine is the most complete product on this list. Three clinically studied forms, transparent dosing, third-party verified, and priced better than several single-form competitors. The formula does what most Indian creatine brands have not bothered to build.

Dr. Renu Chaudhary Brings 1-Day Smile Makeover Revolution to Jaipur with Advanced Digital Dentistry

Desk News — Wed, 15 Apr 2026 11:30:15 +0530

Jaipur (Rajasthan) [India], April 11: In a significant advancement for dental care, Jaipur is witnessing a transformation in the way people achieve their perfect smile. The concept of a “1-Day Smile Makeover” is rapidly gaining popularity, offering patients the ability to correct chipped, stained, or uneven teeth in just a single visit—without pain, long waiting periods, or multiple appointments.

At the center of this innovation is Dr. Renu Dental Clinic, located in Nirman Nagar, Jaipur, Rajasthan(https://share.google/ZDctVSMGQ29FNyRpG). Known for its advanced, painless, and same-day dental treatments, the clinic is redefining patient experience through cutting-edge digital dentistry and personalized care.

The Hidden Challenge: Why Patients Delay Treatment

Despite increasing awareness about dental aesthetics, many individuals continue to delay smile makeovers. The reasons are both practical and psychological—fear of pain, the inconvenience of multiple dental visits, long treatment durations, and uncertainty about results. More information at https://drrenudentalclinic.com

However, experts warn that postponing treatment often worsens the condition. Minor cosmetic concerns can gradually develop into more complex dental issues, affecting not only oral health but also confidence and social interactions.

Breaking the Cycle of Delay

Many patients live with dental imperfections for years, not because treatment options are unavailable, but due to hesitation and lack of awareness. Interestingly, with modern advancements, individuals who once hesitated to smile due to chipped or discolored teeth are now walking out of clinics with complete confidence—often in just one visit.

The Solution: 1-Day Smile Makeover

The 1-Day Smile Makeover represents a paradigm shift in dental care. This modern approach combines multiple cosmetic and restorative procedures into a single appointment, dramatically reducing treatment time while maintaining high precision.

Procedures that can be completed in one visit include dental crowns, veneers for smile design, dental bonding for chipped or gapped teeth, teeth whitening, and minor smile corrections. The concept is simple yet powerful—patients walk in with concerns and leave the same day with a transformed, natural-looking smile.

Instant Enhancement with Veneers and Bonding

Among the most popular treatments in smile makeovers are veneers and dental bonding. Veneers are ultra-thin, custom-designed shells placed on the front surface of teeth to improve shape, color, and alignment. On the other hand, dental bonding offers a quick solution for chipped teeth, small gaps, and minor imperfections.

Both procedures are minimally invasive and can often be completed within a single visit, making them ideal for individuals seeking quick and effective cosmetic improvements.

How It Works: A Fully Digital Workflow

At Dr. Renu Dental Clinic, the entire smile makeover process is powered by a seamless digital workflow.

The journey begins with a digital scan using advanced systems like PrimeScan, eliminating the need for traditional, uncomfortable impressions. The scanned data is then used to design the patient’s smile using CAD/CAM software. Once finalized, restorations such as crowns or veneers are fabricated in-house using milling technology like PrimeMill.

This streamlined approach—Scan → Design → Create → Fix—ensures that the entire treatment is completed efficiently within a single visit.

Technologies Driving the Transformation

Modern smile makeovers are supported by a suite of advanced technologies that enhance both speed and accuracy. These include CEREC CAD/CAM systems for precise restorations, digital impressions for comfort, and Sirona sintering technology for durable results.

Additional innovations such as Zoom Teeth Whitening provide instant brightness, while EMS Guided Biofilm Therapy ensures deep cleaning. Diode lasers enable painless procedures, and microscopic dentistry enhances precision at every step.

The availability of in-house CBCT and OPG imaging further accelerates diagnosis and treatment planning, making the entire process faster and more reliable.

Premium Materials for Lasting Results

The quality of materials plays a crucial role in the success of a smile makeover. At Dr. Renu Dental Clinic, internationally trusted materials are used to deliver both durability and aesthetics.

Emax (Ivoclar) offers superior translucency for a natural look, while multilayer zirconia provides strength and longevity. VITA ceramics ensure accurate shade matching, and premium composites from Ivoclar, 3M, and VOCO deliver reliable bonding and aesthetic excellence.

These materials not only enhance the appearance of teeth but also ensure long-lasting, stain-resistant, and biocompatible results.

Visualizing Results Before Treatment

One of the most remarkable aspects of digital dentistry is the ability to preview the final outcome. With digital smile design, facial proportions are analyzed, and a customized smile is created digitally.

Patients can see their expected results before the procedure begins, eliminating uncertainty and building confidence in the treatment plan.

A Pain-Free Dental Experience

Fear of dental pain has traditionally been a major barrier to seeking treatment. However, advancements in dental technology have made procedures significantly more comfortable.

The use of diode lasers minimizes invasiveness, while microscopic dentistry ensures precision. Combined with advanced anesthesia techniques, these innovations create a virtually painless experience for patients.

Expert Insight

According to Dr. Renu Chaudhary (https://www.youtube.com/@JaipurDentalExpert) who brings over 15 years of experience to the field, “Digital dentistry allows us to deliver faster, more precise, and comfortable treatments. Patients can now achieve excellent results in just a single visit.”

This blend of experience and technology ensures predictable outcomes and high patient satisfaction.

Proven Success and Evolving Dentistry

With thousands of successful smile transformations already completed using digital workflows, the shift from traditional to modern dentistry is evident. Where traditional methods required multiple visits, temporary restorations, and manual impressions, digital dentistry offers single-visit solutions, immediate results, and unmatched accuracy.

Jaipur as a Dental Tourism Hub

With its combination of affordability, advanced technology, and high safety standards, Jaipur is emerging as a preferred destination for dental tourism. Patients from across India and abroad are choosing the city for quick, high-quality smile makeovers.

Avoiding Common Mistakes

Experts emphasize that delaying dental treatment due to misconceptions can lead to serious consequences. Ignoring early symptoms or assuming that treatment is time-consuming often results in more complex procedures later.

Early intervention, on the other hand, is faster, simpler, and more cost-effective.

Who Can Benefit?

The 1-Day Smile Makeover is ideal for working professionals, brides and grooms, individuals with chipped or stained teeth, and even outstation or international patients seeking quick results.

Safety and Hygiene Standards

Maintaining patient safety is a top priority. The clinic follows a strict 6-step sterilization protocol, uses advanced diagnostic tools, and adheres to international hygiene standards, ensuring a safe and reliable treatment environment.

Conclusion

The introduction of 1-Day Smile Makeover is redefining dental care in Jaipur. What once required weeks of treatment can now be completed in just a few hours.

With advanced technology, premium materials, and expert care at Dr. Renu Dental Clinic, located in Nirman Nagar, Jaipur, Rajasthan, patients can achieve a confident, natural-looking smile faster than ever before.

As same-day appointments remain limited due to the precision and planning required, experts advise patients to plan early and take advantage of this revolutionary approach to modern dentistry.

Spandan Heart Care Clinic Unlocks the Power of EECP Therapy (Natural Bypass Therapy) for Heart Health

Desk News — Mon, 30 Mar 2026 21:30:05 +0530

New Delhi [India], March 30: At Spandan Heart Care Clinic, the focus is on delivering advanced, patient-friendly solutions for heart care. One such innovative treatment is Enhanced External Counterpulsation (EECP) therapy—a non-invasive approach often referred to as “natural bypass therapy.” This breakthrough technique is helping patients manage heart conditions effectively without surgery or hospitalization.

What is EECP Therapy?
EECP therapy is a non-invasive procedure designed to improve blood circulation to the heart. It involves placing inflatable cuffs around the patient’s legs, which rhythmically inflate and deflate in sync with the heartbeat. This process enhances blood flow, reduces strain on the heart, and supports the development of natural bypass channels.

The therapy is conducted as a daycare procedure, requiring no admission. Each session lasts about an hour, typically carried out over 35–40 days for optimal results.

Key Benefits of EECP Therapy
EECP therapy offers a wide range of advantages for individuals with heart conditions:

Helps reduce the frequency and severity of angina (chest pain)
Improves exercise capacity and stamina
Enhances blood circulation to the heart
Non-invasive and completely pain-free
No hospitalization required
No injections, incisions, or surgical risks
Cost-effective and often covered under mediclaim insurance
May help reduce dependency on long-term medications

How the Therapy Works
During each session, patients lie comfortably while the cuffs around their legs inflate and deflate in a carefully timed sequence. This synchronized action increases oxygen-rich blood flow to the heart while easing cardiac workload. Over time, it promotes better heart function and symptom relief.

Your Trusted Partner in Heart Health
Spandan Heart Care Clinic is committed to offering personalized cardiac care backed by experienced professionals and modern technology. With treatments like EECP therapy, the clinic continues to provide safe, effective, and patient-centric solutions for managing heart disease.

Conclusion
EECP therapy represents a promising alternative for those seeking non-surgical heart treatment options. Spandan Heart Care Clinic stands at the forefront of this innovation, helping patients lead healthier and more active lives. If you or a loved one are experiencing heart-related symptoms, consider exploring EECP therapy and take a step toward better heart health today.

New Delhi [India], March 28: Grand Medical Corporation, a leading name in the healthcare equipment industry, is proud to announce a comprehensive expansion of its respiratory care division. By combining state-of-the-art sleep therapy technology with accessible rental programs, the company is poised to transform how patients manage sleep apnea and respiratory conditions at home. This initiative underscores Grand Medical Corporation’s commitment to enhancing patient outcomes through premium devices, including the latest Resmed CPAP machines and Resmed BIPAP machines, alongside vital oxygen support services.

Sleep apnea is a growing global health concern that affects millions, often going undiagnosed. To address this, Grand Medical Corporation has curated a premium selection of therapy devices designed to maximize patient comfort and compliance. The centerpiece of this new initiative is the availability of the Resmed Airsense 11 autoset cpap machine. As the latest evolution in sleep therapy technology, the AirSense 11 features a sleek, modern design and an intuitive user interface that simplifies the therapy process. It integrates digital health features that allow patients and healthcare providers to monitor progress remotely, ensuring that treatment remains effective and personalized.

Recognizing that many patients prefer a proven design, Grand Medical Corporation continues to supply the highly acclaimed Resmed Airsense 10 autoset cpap machine. Renowned for its reliability and advanced algorithm, the AirSense 10 remains a gold standard in the industry. Both the AirSense 10 and 11 models feature AutoSet technology, which automatically adjusts pressure levels breath-by-breath to deliver the minimum pressure required, providing a natural and comfortable breathing experience for the user.

“For patients navigating the complexities of sleep apnea, having access to the right technology is the first step toward reclaiming their health,” said the Director of Operations at Grand Medical Corporation. “By offering both the Resmed Airsense 11 autoset cpap machine and the established Resmed Airsense 10 autoset cpap machine, we empower patients to choose the device that best fits their lifestyle and therapy needs.

Beyond sleep apnea solutions, Grand Medical Corporation is significantly expanding its support for patients requiring critical oxygen therapy. Understanding that long-term equipment purchases can be a financial strain for many families, the company has launched flexible rental programs. Patients can now easily access an Oxygen Cylinder on rent for short-term needs or an Oxygen Concentrator on rent for extended home care. This service is particularly vital for patients managing chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), pneumonia recovery, or other conditions that necessitate supplemental oxygen.

The rental service is designed to be seamless and stress-free. Grand Medical Corporation handles everything from delivery and installation to maintenance and servicing.

In addition to equipment supply, Grand Medical Corporation provides a full spectrum of Resmed BIPAP machines for patients with more complex respiratory needs, such as those who struggle with high CPAP pressures or suffer from central sleep apnea. The BiPAP machines offer bi-level pressure support, making exhalation easier and therapy more comfortable for specific patient groups.

Grand Medical Corporation’s holistic approach includes after-sales support, mask fitting assistance, and technical troubleshooting, ensuring that patients are never alone in their therapy journey. With a mission to bridge the gap between advanced medical technology and patient accessibility, Grand Medical Corporation continues to lead the way in home healthcare solutions.

Why Regular Full Body Screening is More Important Than You Think?

Desk News — Sat, 28 Mar 2026 10:30:09 +0530

New Delhi [India], March 28: Busy and stressful lives and pollution can affect our health and cause serious problems. That is why regular health checkups are important. They help find problems early before they become serious. All adults should get checkups even if they feel healthy. Finding problems early makes treatment easier and lowers the risk of serious illness.

How often you need a checkup depends on your age, health, family history, and lifestyle.

What Is Full Body Screening?

A full body screening is a complete health checkup that looks at your overall health. It includes different tests to check your heart, blood, liver, kidneys, hormones, and other important parts of the body. The goal is to find health problems early, even before you feel sick. This helps doctors suggest lifestyle changes or treatment to prevent serious illnesses.

It is a preventive checkup that helps you stay healthy and catch any hidden health issues in time.

Top Benefits of Regular Full Body Screening

Preventive health checkups help detect serious health problems early, before they become dangerous.
Many diseases, such as heart problems, develop slowly over time. A health checkup can warn you early by showing changes like high cholesterol.
Early results allow you to improve your lifestyle by eating healthier, exercising, and managing stress.
Finding problems early increases the chances of getting the right treatment and reduces future complications.
Regular health checkups help you stay healthier, live longer, and avoid sudden medical emergencies.
Early treatment is easier, safer, and less expensive, helping you save money in the long run.
Health checkups also remind you to take better care of your body and maintain a healthy lifestyle.

Key Tests Usually Included in Full Body Screening

Complete Blood Count (CBC)
Lipid Profile
Liver Function Test (LFT)
Kidney Function Test (KFT)
Blood Sugar Test (Blood Glucose)
Thyroid Profile (T3, T4, TSH)
Vitamin D (25-Hydroxy) Test
Vitamin B12 (Cyanocobalamin) Test
Electrocardiogram (ECG)
Ultrasonography (USG) – Abdomen
Chest X-ray
Urine Examination

Common Conditions Missed without Comprehensive Screening

Heart problems: High blood pressure or cholesterol can harm your heart silently.
Fatty liver: Often has no symptoms early.
Early cancers: Hard to notice without screening.
Diabetes: Blood sugar can rise quietly.
Thyroid issues: Can cause tiredness or weight changes.
Kidney problems: Early damage usually has no pain.
Vitamin deficiencies: Can make you weak or tired.

Common Misconceptions About Full Body Checkups

Some health problems don’t show signs early, so checkups are important.
Checkups catch problems before they become serious.
Early checkups can save money and keep you healthy.
Even young people can benefit, especially with family health risks or unhealthy habits.

Conclusion

Many health problems start quietly and don’t show any signs at first. Over time, they can affect your organs, blood, or hormones without you knowing.

A full body checkup is a way to catch these issues early, even if you feel completely fine. Making it a regular habit can help you stay healthy and avoid serious problems later.

Coimbatore (Tamil Nadu) [India], March 26: Ganga Hospital, Coimbatore, a pioneer in Plastic Surgery, Complex Hand and Microsurgery and Burns proudly announces the reaching of a landmark milestone in its mission to advance global surgical standards. As of March 2026, the Department of Plastic, Hand, and Reconstructive Microsurgery of Ganga Hospital has hosted over 3,534 surgeons from 89 countries and 166 Indian cities, establishing the institution as one of the most visited surgical training units in the world.

Dr. S. Raja Sabapathy, Chairman of Ganga Hospital and Head of the Department of Plastic, Hand, and Microsurgery, shared his reflections on this achievement: “Among the many achievements of Ganga that bring me pride, our unit becoming a preferred centre for training for surgeons across the world ranks very high. What began as a trickle of visitors in the early nineties has grown into a steady stream of over 150 surgeons every year (182 in 2026)’.

Over the last three and a half decades, Ganga Hospital has evolved from a regional center of excellence into a global reference point. Surgeons from across the globe travel to Coimbatore to immerse themselves in the hospital’s extraordinary clinical volume, unmatched depth of its surgical diversity and its model of delivering high quality care at an affordable cost.

While international travel saw a global decline during the early 2020s, Ganga Hospital experienced a remarkable post-pandemic surge. The institution recorded its highest-ever visitor numbers in recent years, with 234 surgeons visiting the Plastic Surgery Department in 2023 and 223 surgeons in 2024, signaling a robust demand for the specialized expertise nurtured within its walls.

By January 2026, the Plastic Surgery department crossed the milestone of hosting over 3,500 surgeons. While published records of visitors to other surgical units in India are scarce, we believe we are, arguably, among the most visited units in the country in any specialty. It is deeply rewarding to see our commitment to learning and discipline resonate so strongly with the global surgical community. The visitors come not only from developing nations but also from the top units of the developed world. The United Kingdom with 272 surgeon visitors and USA with 139 surgeon visitors top the list of nations from where the visitors came. Since they come from top universities Dr Hari Venkatramani, consultant in the Department of Plastic Surgery said ‘there gets established a two way learning process and our unit also keeps improving’.

Digital Healthcare Platform Jivo Care Launches ‘Global Wellness Program’ to Eradicate Fragmented Care

Desk News — Tue, 24 Mar 2026 22:30:13 +0530

Gurugram (Haryana) [India], March 19: Jivo Care, an integrated digital healthcare platform, has launched its comprehensive Global Wellness Program. Designed as the company’s central “Hero Program,” this all-in-one ecosystem unifies proactive health frameworks for corporate workplaces, educational institutions, and elder care centers.

The platform focuses on helping solve major macro-health issues, including lifestyle-related diseases, which account for over 60% of all deaths in India, and the worldwide productivity loss of $1 trillion due to anxiety and depression. Instead of relying on multiple individual healthcare visits, Jivo Care provides a single tech platform to meet these challenges. Supported by a proprietary digital app and a web portal with over 1,000 self-help resources, the program is staffed with a 24/7 Care Coordinator to assist the users of the program, and provides them with an organised, clinical plan of care, which includes both pre-and post-treatment follow-up.

Discussing the milestone, Harshwardhan Singh Choudhary, CEO of Jivo Care, stated, “Healthcare should not start at the emergency department. Our vision with Jivo Care is to make preventive healthcare accessible, guided, and integrated into everyday life so individuals can stay healthier physically and mentally.”

The program provides evidence-based clinical frameworks which support individuals through three key development stages. For corporations, it addresses the hidden costs of absenteeism and presenteeism through personalised nutrition and stress-reduction programming. For educational institutions, it provides critical emotional support to students facing increased academic pressure, while also providing critical emotional support for educators. For elderly care centres, the program prevents social isolation and cognitive decline by providing structured psychological support and nutritional programming as part of the physical environment where they reside.

Shubham Sharma, COO of Jivo Care, commented on the operational scale of the program, “Corporate wellness needs structure, continuity, and personalisation. By combining mental health, nutrition, and coordinated medical support, we aim to simplify healthcare for employees while helping organisations build physical and mental well-being ecosystems.”

Following this launch, the company plans to expand its integrated healthcare model into international markets and develop its own end-to-end physical hospital network to deliver comprehensive support.

“Much like infrastructure, healthcare requires strong foundations and long-term vision. Proactive healthcare is focused on building systems that support people before challenges arise.

said Harendra Singh, Group Chairman and Patron of Jivo Care. “Jivo Care’s approach is an important step towards creating a structured, technology-driven healthcare ecosystem focused on early care and sustainable health outcomes.”

Homeopathy Will Play a Crucial Role in Future Healthcare

Desk News — Wed, 18 Mar 2026 16:01:41 +0530

New Delhi [India], March 17: As healthcare continues to evolve, alternative systems of medicine are gaining increasing attention. To understand the growing relevance of homeopathy, Dr. Rajshree Verma, a homeopathic physician, explains about its future role and benefits in this interview.

Q: how do you see the role of homeopathy in the future of medicine?

Homeopathy is steadily becoming an important part of modern healthcare. As people become more aware of the limitations of symptom-based treatment, they are turning towards systems that focus on overall well-being. Homeopathy, with its holistic approach, is well-positioned to play a significant role in the future of medicine.

Q: Could you briefly explain the basic principle behind homeopathy?

Homeopathy is based on the principle of “like cures like,” introduced by Samuel Hahnemann. It means that a substance capable of causing symptoms in a healthy person can be used, in a highly diluted form, to treat similar symptoms in a patient. The aim is to stimulate the body’s natural healing process.

Q: What makes homeopathy different from conventional treatment methods?

The key difference is that homeopathy treats the patient, not just the disease. We consider physical symptoms along with mental and emotional aspects. Every individual receives a personalized treatment, which helps address the root cause rather than just suppressing symptoms.

Q: Why is homeopathy becoming increasingly popular among patients?

There are several reasons:

Homeopathic medicines are safe and gentle, with minimal side effects
Suitable for all age groups—from children to the elderly
Focus on long-term healing rather than temporary relief
Increasing awareness about holistic healthcare approaches

Q: Can homeopathy effectively manage chronic diseases?

Yes, homeopathy has shown very good results in chronic conditions such as:

Allergies
Skin disorders
Migraines
Digestive issues
Lifestyle-related diseases

It works by strengthening the body’s internal defense mechanism, leading to sustainable improvement.

Q: What is the role of homeopathy in India’s healthcare system?

In India, homeopathy is officially recognized and supported by the government. Organizations like the Central Council for Research in Homoeopathy (CCRH) under the Ministry of AYUSH are actively working on research and development. This strengthens the credibility and scientific acceptance of homeopathy.

Q: How does homeopathy contribute to public health?

Homeopathy is cost-effective, accessible, and safe, making it highly suitable for large populations. It can also play a vital role in preventive healthcare by improving immunity and overall health.

New Therapies Bring New Hope for Lymphoma Patients: Dr. Rahul Bhargava

Desk News — Tue, 17 Mar 2026 14:00:08 +0530

New Delhi [India], March 17: Recent advances in cancer treatment are transforming the outlook for patients with lymphoma, offering renewed hope where options were once limited. According to Dr. Rahul Bhargava, one of India’s leading hematologists and stem cell transplant specialists, newer treatments such as CAR-T cell therapy and BiTE (Bispecific T-cell Engager) therapy are redefining outcomes for patients with relapsed or refractory lymphoma.

“For decades, lymphoma treatment relied largely on chemotherapy, monoclonal antibodies, and targeted therapies,” says Dr. Bhargava. “These treatments helped control the disease and extended life expectancy for many patients. However, nearly 40% of patients would still experience relapse despite receiving the best available therapies, leaving them with limited treatment options.”

According to data from clinical trials and real-world studies in the United States, CAR-T cell therapy has shown remarkable results in lymphoma patients who have already failed multiple prior treatments. Studies have reported overall response rates ranging from 50% to 80%, with complete remission achieved in about 40% to 54% of patients in relapsed or refractory disease settings.

“CAR-T therapy represents a paradigm shift,” explains Dr. Bhargava. “Instead of repeatedly suppressing the cancer, we engineer the patient’s own immune cells to recognize and destroy lymphoma cells. In many patients this can lead to durable remission, and in some cases it may even provide a cure.”

Another promising innovation is BiTE therapy, a class of bispecific antibodies designed to bring immune T-cells directly into contact with cancer cells, enabling the immune system to destroy malignant lymphocytes with precision.

“BiTE therapy is particularly exciting because it can also be used as a long-term maintenance strategy,” says Dr. Bhargava. “Patients may remain on this therapy for extended periods, sometimes for many years, helping keep the disease under control while maintaining a good quality of life.”

Dr. Bhargava recalls the case of Rohit (name changed), a 42-year-old professional from Delhi, who was diagnosed with aggressive lymphoma four years ago. After initial chemotherapy and targeted therapies, his disease relapsed.

“When Rohit came to us, he had already undergone multiple treatments and the lymphoma had returned,” Dr. Bhargava recounts. “We evaluated him for advanced cellular therapy and proceeded with CAR-T cell treatment.”

Within weeks, Rohit began showing a remarkable response. Follow-up scans showed significant regression of the disease, and over time the lymphoma completely disappeared. Today, he remains disease-free and has returned to his normal work and family life.

“Stories like Rohit’s highlight how far lymphoma treatment has progressed,” says Dr. Bhargava. “Patients who previously had very limited options can now achieve long-term remission and potentially a cure.”

Dr. Bhargava also notes that India has been able to adopt these cutting-edge therapies relatively early.

“Due to the proactive approach of the Indian government under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi , Indian patients have been able to gain access to advanced treatments such as CAR-T cell therapy much earlier than many expected,” he says. “This is a significant step forward in ensuring that patients in India benefit from the latest breakthroughs in cancer treatment.”

HCG Turns Everyday Mirrors into Early Awareness Tools with #MirrorsDontLie Campaign

Desk News — Mon, 16 Mar 2026 18:30:08 +0530

HCG Turns Everyday Mirrors into Early Awareness Tools with #MirrorsDontLie Campaign

Bengaluru (Karnataka) [India], March 16: As part of this year’s International Women’s Day theme #GiveToGain, HealthCare Global (HCG), India’s largest dedicated cancer care network, has launched #MirrorsDontLie, a nationwide awareness campaign encouraging women to take a few minutes each month to check for changes in their breasts and stay alert to early signs of breast cancer, in line with global “breast awareness” guidance from leading cancer organisations.

Built around a simple everyday habit, the campaign urges women to use the moment they spend in front of a mirror as a reminder to stay aware of changes in their breasts and seek timely medical advice if something unusual is noticed.

The initiative will be rolled out across HCG’s network of 24 hospitals in 21 cities, focusing on women between the ages of 30 and 60, a group where breast awareness and early detection can significantly influence treatment outcomes.

“For over 35 years, HCG has focused on helping people detect cancer earlier and treat it better,” said Manu Sankar Das, Chief Marketing Officer, HealthCare Global (HCG). “This Women’s Day, under the theme #GiveToGain, we want to encourage women to give a few minutes to themselves and gain the advantage of early awareness and timely diagnosis. Through #MirrorsDontLie, we are trying to anchor that awareness in something very familiar — the mirror.”

Breast cancer is currently the most common cancer among women in India, with estimates from the World Health Organization and analyses published in The Lancet indicating close to two lakh new cases annually. A large proportion of Indian women are still diagnosed at advanced stages, contributing to higher mortality rates compared to many high-income countries.

“Many global cancer organisations now emphasise the importance of breast awareness, understanding what is normal for your own breasts so you can recognise a change early,” said Dr. Mahesh Bandimegal, Sr Consultant – Surgical Oncology, specialised in breast Surgery, HCG Cancer Hospital. “Self-checks are not a replacement for clinical examinations or mammography, but they can be an important first step that prompts women to seek medical advice earlier.”

As part of the campaign, HCG has introduced a Mirror-Integrated Breast Awareness Guide, designed to be placed alongside a mirror. The compact guide provides simple prompts to help women check for visible or physical changes in the breasts.

The guide includes reminders on key warning signs such as new lumps, skin dimpling, swelling, nipple inversion, unusual discharge or persistent pain, along with prompts encouraging women to take a brief “mirror minute” each month.

HCG doctors advise women to stay familiar with how their breasts normally look and feel, take a few minutes regularly to check for any changes, and consult a qualified doctor promptly if something unusual is noticed.

Experts note that late diagnosis remains a major contributor to breast cancer mortality in India, while early detection significantly improves survival outcomes and expands treatment options.

Through #MirrorsDontLie, HCG hopes to make breast awareness easier and more approachable by embedding it into everyday routines.

A mirror reflects more than appearance; it can also remind women to notice changes early and seek timely medical care.

World Kidney Day: Understanding Kidney Health Before It’s Too Late

Desk News — Thu, 12 Mar 2026 22:00:09 +0530

World Kidney Day 2026

New Delhi [India], March 12: On the occasion of World Kidney Day, leading kidney experts from across India come together to highlight the growing importance of kidney health and early awareness. As kidney diseases often progress silently without noticeable symptoms in the early stages, timely screening and preventive care are essential. Through their insights, these specialists emphasize the need for healthier lifestyles, regular health monitoring, and greater public awareness to help people protect their kidneys before serious complications arise.

Director Urology and Renal transplant, Max Super Speciality Hospital, Shalimar Bagh, New Delhi

On the occasion of World Kidney Day, Dr. Waheed Zzaman, a renowned urologist, emphasizes that kidney diseases often progress silently, with symptoms appearing only when significant damage has already occurred. According to him, many patients seek medical attention at an advanced stage, when treatment options become more complex and limited. This highlights the urgent need for greater awareness and early screening.

Kidneys play a crucial role in filtering toxins, balancing fluids, and maintaining overall body functions. However, conditions such as uncontrolled diabetes, high blood pressure, obesity, and the excessive use of painkillers can gradually harm kidney health. Simple lifestyle measures like staying well hydrated, maintaining a balanced diet, exercising regularly, and monitoring blood pressure and blood sugar levels can significantly reduce the risk.

This World Kidney Day, Dr. Zzaman urges everyone to prioritize preventive care and regular health check-ups. Early detection and timely intervention can help protect kidney function and ensure a healthier future.

Program Director, Nephrology & Transplant, Aster Whitefield, Ex-Chairman, Indian Society of Nephrology (SC)

“Bones can break, muscles can atrophy, glands can loaf, even the brain can go to sleep without immediately endangering our survival, but when the kidneys fail to manufacture the proper kind of blood, neither bone, muscle, gland, nor brain can carry on.” — Homer Smith.

The human body is blessed with two kidneys—remarkable organs that work silently to keep us healthy. Every day, they filter nearly 180 liters of blood, removing waste, balancing fluids, regulating blood pressure, and supporting healthy bones and blood. Despite their vital role, kidney damage often develops without noticeable symptoms until Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) appears, a condition affecting over 850 million people worldwide.

Several factors increase the risk of kidney disease, including high blood pressure, diabetes, obesity, smoking, excessive salt intake, dehydration, and frequent use of painkillers. Early signs such as fatigue, swelling, or foamy urine are often ignored.

On World Kidney Day, take steps to protect your kidneys: stay hydrated, eat healthy foods, exercise regularly, monitor blood sugar and blood pressure, and avoid smoking. Regular checks of creatinine, potassium, blood pressure, and urine protein can help detect problems early and safeguard kidney health.

On the occasion of World Kidney Day, Dr. Munindra Kumar, a leading nephrologist, highlights that kidney diseases are often called a “silent threat” because many people remain unaware of the problem until it reaches an advanced stage. He emphasizes that increasing awareness about kidney health is essential to prevent long-term complications and improve patient outcomes.

Kidneys perform critical functions such as filtering toxins, maintaining fluid balance, and regulating blood pressure. However, the rising prevalence of lifestyle-related conditions like diabetes, hypertension, obesity, and unhealthy dietary habits is significantly increasing the risk of chronic kidney disease. Regular health screenings, early diagnosis, and timely medical intervention can help slow or even prevent the progression of kidney damage.

This World Kidney Day, Dr. Kumar encourages individuals to adopt healthier lifestyles, stay well hydrated, and undergo routine health check-ups. Protecting kidney health through awareness and preventive care can help ensure a better quality of life for millions.

On the occasion of World Kidney Day 2026, it is important to remind people that our kidneys silently perform life-saving functions every day. These two small organs filter waste from the blood, maintain fluid balance, regulate blood pressure, and help produce hormones essential for red blood cell formation and bone health. Unfortunately, many kidney diseases develop gradually and remain unnoticed until significant damage has already occurred.

One of the major global concerns is Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD), which often progresses without obvious symptoms in its early stages. Conditions such as Diabetes Mellitus, Hypertension, recurrent urinary infections, and kidney stones can slowly damage kidney function. Warning signs may include swelling of the feet or face, fatigue, changes in urination, or blood in the urine.

The good news is that many kidney problems can be prevented or detected early. Regular health check-ups, controlling blood sugar and blood pressure, staying hydrated, reducing salt intake, and avoiding unnecessary painkillers can help protect kidney health. Early awareness and timely consultation with specialists are key to preventing serious complications and ensuring long-term well-being.

Dr. Tapan Kumar Das, MD Physician, PGDHA,

Expert in Health Management and Preventive Healthcare, Bangalore

On the occasion of World Kidney Day, Dr. Tapan Kumar Das, a healthcare professional with experience across medical practice, US healthcare systems, product management, bussiness transformation and health data analytics, highlights the growing importance of preventive healthcare in addressing kidney-related diseases. According to him, kidney disorders often progress silently and are frequently detected only when the condition has already advanced. This makes early awareness, regular screenings, and timely intervention extremely important.

Dr. Das emphasizes that technology and data-driven healthcare solutions can play a transformative role in improving early diagnosis and patient monitoring. With the integration of electronic health records (EHR), health analytics, and healthtech innovations enabled by AI, healthcare providers can better track risk factors such as diabetes, hypertension, and lifestyle patterns that significantly impact kidney health and guide patients or customers more effectively.

This World Kidney Day, Dr. Das encourages individuals to adopt healthier lifestyles, prioritize routine health check-ups, regular fitness regime and leverage modern healthcare technologies to ensure better kidney health and long-term well-being.

“Our Kidneys quietly filter more than 50,000 liters of blood every year. Spending one day year to check on them is the least we can do in return.”

Protecting Our Kidneys Means Protecting Our Planet

Today marks the 20th World Kidney Day, centered on an urgent theme: “Kidney Health for All – Caring for People, Protecting the Planet.”

As global temperatures rise, chronic dehydration is triggering a surge in Acute Kidney Injury (AKI). Precision in fluid management is now a vital public health defense against climate-induced renal damage.

Simultaneously, healthcare must champion “Green Nephrology.” Traditional hemodialysis consumes massive amounts of water and power. Shifting toward sustainable, home-based therapies like peritoneal dialysis dramatically reduces this environmental footprint while empowering patients.

Integrating Artificial Intelligence into clinical medicine will further revolutionize sustainable care. AI models can predict AKI risks during extreme heatwaves, enabling proactive, resource-efficient interventions before hospitalizations are needed.

Protect your kidneys and the earth: stay hydrated sustainably, manage your blood pressure, and seek early screening. Ultimately, healthy kidneys rely on a healthy planet.

Dr. Pradnya Harshe

Consultant Nephrologist and Kidney Transplant Physician, Vadodara

With the increase in the number of patients living with diabetes and hypertension day by day, kidney diseases are also on the rise. It is important that proper care and precautions are taken to prevent end-stage kidney disease in such individuals.

Strict control of diabetes and blood pressure should always be maintained, as these conditions are among the leading causes of kidney damage. The use of unnecessary medications that may have unknown or unfavorable effects on the kidneys should be avoided.

Urinary tract infections and kidney stones should be treated properly and without delay to prevent permanent damage to the kidneys. Many new medications are now available that help in slowing the progression of kidney disease and can be used effectively to achieve better treatment outcomes.

Maintaining a healthy lifestyle, regular monitoring, and timely medical intervention are essential steps in protecting kidney health and preventing long-term complications.

Dr. Manish Mahajan, MBBS, MD, DM

Senior Consultant (Medicine & Nephrology), Narendra Mohan Hospital, Ghaziabad, Neo Hospital, Noida

A Message from Dr. Manish Mahajan on World Kidney Day 2026

Theme: Kidney Health for All – Advancing Equitable Access to Care and Optimal Medication Practice

The Silent Guardian: Why Your Kidneys Matter

Your kidneys are the unsung heroes of your body. Every single day, these bean-shaped organs filter about 180 liters of blood to remove toxins, balance fluids, and regulate blood pressure. Because kidney disease often progresses without symptoms until it is advanced, early awareness is our most powerful tool.

8 Golden Rules for Kidney Health

To keep your kidneys functioning at their best, I recommend adopting these lifestyle habits:

1. Stay Active and Fit: Help reduce your blood pressure and improve heart health.

2. Control Your Blood Sugar: Diabetes is a leading cause of kidney damage; regular monitoring is essential.

3. Monitor Blood Pressure: High blood pressure can accelerate kidney function decline.

4. Eat Healthy and Keep Weight in Check: Focus on low-sodium foods and fresh produce.

5. Maintain Fluid Intake: Drink enough water (typically 2 liters a day) to help kidneys clear sodium and toxins.

6. Don’t Smoke: Smoking slows blood flow to the kidneys and increases the risk of kidney cancer.

7. Limit Over-the-Counter Pills: Frequent use of common pain relievers (NSAIDs) can cause kidney damage.

8. Get Checked: If you have high-risk factors like diabetes, hypertension, or a family history of kidney disease, regular screening is vital.

Dr. Jyotiee Mehraa: The Woman Building Safe Spaces for Mental Well-Being in Modern India

Desk News — Thu, 12 Mar 2026 16:00:08 +0530

Dr. Jyotiee Mehraa, Founder of Pragmana Foundation, is working toward normalizing mental health support through community-led and accessible care models.

In a rapidly evolving world where success is often measured through economic growth and innovation, emotional well-being rarely receives equal attention. Yet behind every resilient individual and strong community lies mental stability — something that has long remained overlooked in India’s public discourse. For decades, conversations around mental health were confined to silence, stigma, or moments of crisis. Dr. Jyotiee Mehraa chose to approach this reality differently, working toward making mental health support accessible, practical, and deeply human.

With a professional journey spanning more than four decades across academia, public health, and international development, Dr. Mehraa’s work has taken her across Asia and the Pacific in collaboration with global institutions such as the United Nations, AusAID, and UK Aid. Early in her career, she became among the first Indian women to receive the prestigious Fulbright Fellowship in 1990, where she studied substance-use management systems in the United States and explored ways to adapt global learnings to Indian social contexts. These experiences shaped her understanding that mental distress is rarely isolated; it is often linked to changing family roles, caregiving responsibilities, social transitions, and economic uncertainty.

Over the years, she observed a growing gap between mental health needs and available support systems. While clinical services continued to expand in hospitals and private practices, many individuals hesitated to seek help because accessible and non-judgmental spaces simply did not exist. Mental health support was still perceived as something people approached only when situations became overwhelming. Recognizing this disconnect, Dr. Mehraa founded Pragmana Foundation in 2024 as a not-for-profit initiative aimed at normalizing emotional care and making support services available before distress escalates into crisis.

What distinguishes Pragmana Foundation is its effort to move mental health conversations beyond therapy rooms. Community surveys conducted around Gurgaon revealed that people were willing to invest in mental well-being but lacked awareness of options beyond one-to-one counselling. Drawing from her international experience, Dr. Mehraa introduced structured listening circles, peer support systems, and guided group interactions alongside professional counselling services. These initiatives provide individuals with safe environments to share experiences related to life transitions such as retirement, job insecurity, caregiving pressures, parenting challenges, or personal loss — situations that often remain invisible yet emotionally demanding.

“Mental health support should begin long before crisis — within families, communities, and everyday conversations.”

At the heart of the Foundation lies the philosophy of “Practical Care with Science and Sensitivity,” combining evidence-based psychological practices with cultural understanding and empathy. The approach acknowledges that in societies like India, healing often begins through shared experiences, family and community support rather than clinical intervention alone.

Equally significant is the organization’s sustainable model of functioning. Revenue generated through purchase of services offered in urban settings is used to support free/ subsidized mental health programs for underserved communities in rural and semi-urban villages in Haryana, reducing dependence on external funding while expanding reach. The Foundation also extends its efforts toward community programs addressing substance-use challenges and emotional well-being among adolescents — areas often neglected within mainstream development initiatives.

“Dignity and emotional well-being are not privileges — they are essential foundations of a healthy society.”

Through this approach, Pragmana Foundation works with senior citizens experiencing isolation, caregivers managing emotional fatigue, women navigating life-stage transitions, men facing professional or personal uncertainty, and children with special needs such as autism and ADHD.

Dr. Mehraa believes that many emotional struggles arise quietly during moments of transition — retirement, grief, shifting identities, or changing social roles — gradually affecting confidence and self-worth. By creating structured yet approachable support systems, her work focuses on prevention rather than reaction, encouraging individuals to seek professional help early without hesitation or stigma. Her leadership reflects a belief that mental health must move from whispered conversations into organized systems of care accessible to all sections of society.

As India continues to progress socially and economically, initiatives like Pragmana Foundation highlight an important shift toward recognizing emotional wellness as an essential part of collective growth.

Dr. Jyotiee Mehraa’s journey represents leadership rooted not in visibility, but in lasting social impact. This Women’s Day, her work serves as a reminder that meaningful change often begins with listening — and with creating safe spaces where people feel understood, supported, and empowered to move forward with dignity.

Resonia Limited Drives Menstrual Hygiene Awareness and Livelihoods in Rural Valsad

Desk News — Mon, 09 Mar 2026 16:00:18 +0530

Valsad (Gujarat) [India], March 09: Supported by the Community Engagement initiative of Resonia Limited, BookForChange Foundation (BFC) inaugurated a women-led sanitary napkin production unit in Kaprada Taluka of Valsad district under Project Sanjeevani on the occasion of International Women’s Day. The initiative aims to improve menstrual hygiene while creating sustainable livelihood opportunities for tribal women in rural communities.

Menstrual hygiene continues to remain a major challenge in several villages of Kaprada Taluka. Limited awareness, social stigma, and lack of access to affordable sanitary products often force women and adolescent girls to rely on unhygienic alternatives. Such practices can lead to health complications and also contribute to school absenteeism among adolescent girls.

To address these challenges, the project has established a local sanitary napkin manufacturing unit operated by women from Self Help Groups (SHGs). Around 15 women have been trained, out of which 10 women are directly engaged in production and management of the unit, creating a sustainable source of income and empowering them economically.

The unit is expected to produce approximately 10,000 to 15,000 sanitary pads every month, which will initially be distributed through schools and community networks. Along with production, the initiative will also conduct menstrual hygiene awareness sessions for adolescent girls and women in nearby villages, helping break stigma and encouraging safe health practices.

The project also aims to develop a locally produced sanitary pad brand, ensuring long-term sustainability while strengthening women-led entrepreneurship in the region. The initiative represents a model “by women, for women,” ensuring that the value and benefits generated remain within the community.

Through this initiative, BookForChange Foundation, with the support of Resonia Limited, seeks to promote women’s health, dignity, and economic empowerment, while building a sustainable and community-driven model for menstrual hygiene management in rural areas.

Resonia Limited is developing a 258-km, 765 kV double-circuit transmission line connecting South Olpad (GIS) to Boisar-II (GIS), strengthening India’s national power grid. The project plays a significant role in contributing to the country’s goal of achieving 500 GW of non-fossil fuel energy capacity by 2030. Alongside this critical infrastructure development, the company continues to implement community engagement programs that support rural livelihoods and social well-being.

New Frontiers in Hair Regeneration: The Rise of Cell-Based Therapies

Desk News — Sat, 07 Mar 2026 18:30:08 +0530

New Delhi [India], March 07: Hair loss has always been more than cosmetic. For many men and women, it is a daily reminder of aging, stress, or genetic predisposition. While wigs, medications, and transplants have long been the mainstay, recent years have seen a subtle but important shift: medicine is moving from covering up hair loss to actually re-engineering the scalp biology that causes it.

One of the most promising frontiers in this shift is cell-based therapy — specifically, what is now known as autologous micro-grafting combined with platelet-rich plasma (PRP). This technique has begun to gain global attention for its potential to reawaken dormant follicles and, in some cases, stimulate the creation of new ones.

The Evolution of Regenerative Therapies

In India, few institutions have been as active in adopting and refining these advances as VCare Hair and Skin Clinics. Starting with PRP protocols, the clinic quickly expanded into Growth Factor Concentrates (GFC) — a more refined formulation designed to maximize growth signaling.

Building on that foundation, VCare went further by pioneering India’s first exosome-based hair growth therapy — tapping into nanovesicles that carry proteins and signaling molecules capable of modulating inflammation and supporting follicle repair.

Today, the clinic has added another milestone: Cell Graft Treatment, a procedure that introduces live progenitor-cell–rich micrografts into the scalp, combined with PRP, to push beyond follicle support into follicle regeneration.

The Science Behind It

The principle is deceptively simple: healthy hair does not just depend on surface nourishment but on the presence of viable follicular units and the environment that supports them. Over time, hormonal influences (such as DHT), chronic inflammation, and fibrosis reduce stem-cell signaling in the follicular niche. The result is thinner hair shafts, miniaturization, and eventual loss of visible hair.

Cell-based therapy aims to reverse some of this decline by providing the scalp with a concentrated mix of progenitor cells — immature but highly functional cells that can differentiate into follicle-supporting structures that organize tissue repair.

A Different Approach Than PRP Alone

PRP by itself has been used for years to support hair growth, with the idea of nourishing existing follicles. However, PRP cannot create new follicles; it can only optimize what is already present. The distinction with cell-based therapy is that, by introducing viable progenitor cells, the scalp may be able to undergo follicle neogenesis — the formation of entirely new follicular units in addition to rescuing existing ones.

This is why many experts, including specialists at VCare Hair and Skin Clinics, describe Cell Graft Treatment as a step beyond PRP. It is not meant to replace transplants in severe baldness, but rather to intervene earlier, when thinning or patchy loss is visible, and to serve as an adjunct for donor strengthening after transplant.

Treatment Process explained by experts at VCare

The procedure itself is straightforward. A 2 mm punch is done to collect sample tissue from the postauricular region (behind the ear). The micro-sample is combined with the PRP through cell graft microlyzer creating a cell-rich suspension using advanced dual-level processing technology. This suspension is then carefully injected into thinning or bald areas of the scalp. Microneedling is performed to enhance absorption.

Patients typically resume normal activities within 24–48 hours. Two days after the procedure, VCare Hair Clinic recommended starting their research-backed Invacare Home Care Kit to support continued growth and scalp health.

The Bigger Picture

Hair restoration has often been a choice between short-term topical fixes or invasive transplants. Regenerative therapies are now creating a middle ground: minimally invasive, science-driven, and capable of long-term scalp rejuvenation.

And in this journey, VCare Hair and Skin Clinics has been a pioneer. Founded by Carolin Praba Reddy, a visionary entrepreneur and trichology expert, VCare has grown into South India’s leading hair and skin clinic network, with 80+ branches across India and over 1.5 million satisfied clients.

Carolin Praba’s vision has always been to bridge advanced research with accessible clinical practice — bringing innovations like PRP, GFC, exosomes, and now Cell Graft Treatment into standardized treatment protocols for Indian patients. Under her leadership, VCare continues to represent trust, expertise, and innovation in the field of regenerative hair restoration. For patients, this means access to global innovations adapted to Indian clinical realities, with the reassurance of being treated by one of the country’s most trusted hair and skin care providers.

Why Younger Indians Are Increasingly at Risk of Stroke? – Dr. Guruprasad Hosurkar

Desk News — Thu, 05 Mar 2026 14:30:08 +0530

Bengaluru (Karnataka) [India], March 05: Stroke, once thought to primarily affect older individuals, is increasingly becoming a significant health concern among younger Indians. Dr. Guruprasad Hosurkar, a leading neurologist at KIMS Hospital, Mahadevapura, has seen a rising trend in stroke cases among patients under 40. This shift is concerning as stroke in younger adults can lead to severe, long-term health challenges and, in many cases, even death. As a senior neurologist with over 20 years of expertise, Dr. Hosurkar is dedicated to understanding the growing risk factors and advocating for preventive care and early intervention.

Dr. Hosurkar’s experience and deep understanding of neurological disorders make him one of the most trusted neurologists in Bangalore. His clinical expertise, particularly in the areas of stroke prevention and rehabilitation, is crucial in managing these increasing cases of stroke in younger populations. The rise in stroke cases can be attributed to various factors, including lifestyle changes, poor dietary habits, sedentary behavior, and increasing levels of stress. Additionally, conditions like hypertension, diabetes, and high cholesterol, —which were once considered risks for older adults—are now becoming common in younger individuals, significantly increasing their susceptibility to stroke.

“Younger people are experiencing strokes due to a combination of modern lifestyle factors and genetic predispositions,” explains Dr. Hosurkar. “Sedentary habits, high levels of stress, poor nutrition, and increasing cases of chronic disease, metabolic syndrome, dyslipidemia, obesity, obstructive sleep apnea are contributing to the higher risk of stroke in individuals who otherwise would have been considered healthy. It is essential that people, especially those under 40, become more aware of these risks and take steps toward healthier lifestyles.”

Stroke risk is not confined to older generations anymore, and the warning signs of stroke can appear in younger individuals just as quickly. Recognizing the symptoms—such as sudden numbness or weakness on one side of the body, trouble speaking, and severe headaches—is critical for early intervention. Dr. Hosurkar emphasizes that the earlier a stroke is detected, the better the chances are for a full recovery. Immediate medical attention can significantly reduce the risk of severe disability and long-term health complications.

One of the key steps in stroke prevention is controlling risk factors such as blood pressure, blood sugar levels, and cholesterol. Dr. Hosurkar advocates for regular check-ups, especially for those with a family history of stroke or those exhibiting risk factors like smoking, high alcohol consumption, and a lack of physical activity. “We must prioritize education and awareness for younger generations,” says Dr. Hosurkar. “Young people need to take charge of their health early on to prevent conditions that could lead to stroke later in life.”

Dr. Hosurkar’s expertise extends beyond stroke prevention. He offers comprehensive treatment plans for patients who have suffered strokes, focusing on immediate care and long-term rehabilitation. His approach involves a multidisciplinary team of healthcare professionals to provide stroke survivors with the best possible care. This includes neurocritical care, rehabilitation, and post-stroke care, ensuring that patients regain their independence and quality of life.

At KIMS Hospital, where Dr. Hosurkar serves as the Clinical Lead of Neurology, patients have access to state-of-the-art diagnostic tools and advanced treatment options for managing stroke and other neurological conditions. The hospital’s neurocritical care unit is equipped with the latest technologies to handle acute stroke cases, ensuring rapid intervention and the best outcomes for patients.

Dr. Hosurkar’s commitment to stroke prevention and rehabilitation has earned him numerous accolades and recognition in the medical community. He is regularly invited to speak at national and international conferences, sharing his insights on stroke management and neurological care. He also actively participates in clinical research, contributing to the development of new therapies and techniques for stroke treatment.

For Dr. Hosurkar, the key to combating the rise of strokes among younger Indians is education, early detection, and lifestyle modification. By focusing on preventive measures, he believes that the increasing stroke risk can be mitigated and that more young people can live healthy, stroke-free lives.

Incorporating a balanced diet, staying physically active, managing stress, and undergoing regular health screenings are essential steps in reducing the risk of stroke. Dr. Hosurkar encourages everyone, especially those under 40, to prioritize their health and take proactive steps to prevent stroke and other neurological conditions. “Prevention is always better than cure, and a small change in lifestyle can have a big impact on stroke prevention,” he says.

Pioneering Advanced Acne Treatment Solutions for Clear, Glowing Skin with Dr. Anju Methil in Mumbai

Desk News — Thu, 05 Mar 2026 14:30:04 +0530

Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], March 05: Acne, a common yet distressing skin condition, affects millions of individuals, leaving both physical and emotional scars. Dr. Anju Methil has made groundbreaking strides in offering advanced acne treatment solutions that not only target the root causes of acne but also restore healthy, glowing skin. With her expertise at Skin and Shape Clinic, Dr. Methil is providing customized treatments that deliver noticeable, long-lasting results, helping patients regain confidence in their skin.

Acne is a complex condition influenced by hormonal imbalances, lifestyle factors, and genetics, and its treatment demands a tailored approach. As a dermatologist in Mumbai, Dr. Methil’s Skin and Shape Clinic offers a holistic, multidimensional approach to acne treatment, which incorporates the latest in dermatological advancements. From medical facials and chemical peels to laser therapies and microneedling, Dr. Methil ensures that each treatment is personalized to address the unique needs of each patient, giving them clear, healthy skin that radiates.

Skin care at Skin and Shape Clinic goes beyond just acne treatment. Dr. Methil often integrates anti-aging treatments such as skin tightening, laser resurfacing, and botox to help rejuvenate the skin, giving clients a youthful glow after acne treatment. By treating the skin’s surface and deeper layers, Dr. Methil provides a holistic solution that ensures both clear skin and restored radiance.

From Mumbai to Kigali: Indian Surgeon Introduces Rwanda its very First Laser Treatment for Varicose Veins, Haemorrhoids & Anorectal Disorders

Desk News — Thu, 05 Mar 2026 14:00:11 +0530

Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], March 05: In a historic landmark step toward strengthening global healthcare collaboration, Mumbai-based senior laparoscopic and laser surgeon Dr Jiten Chowdhry successfully introduced Rwanda’s first Endovenous Laser Treatment (EVLA) for varicose veins and laser procedures for haemorrhoids at King Faisal Hospital, Kigali, in partnership with the Rwanda Ministry of Health.

The initiative marks a major advancement in minimally invasive vascular and anorectal care in Rwanda and reflects a growing model of international medical knowledge exchange focused on long-term sustainability thus placing India on the forefront of knowledge transfer.

A Milestone in Modern Vascular & Anorectal Care

Varicose veins are a common yet often debilitating condition affecting millions worldwide. Traditional surgical treatment typically involves vein stripping — a more invasive procedure requiring larger incisions, longer recovery time, and extended hospitalisation.

Endovenous Laser Treatment (EVLA), by contrast, is a minimally invasive technique that uses laser energy to seal diseased veins from within. Performed under regional anaesthesia,

the procedure significantly reduces surgical trauma, post-operative discomfort, and recovery time while improving patient outcomes.

Similarly, haemorrhoids (commonly known as piles) are swollen vascular cushions in the anal canal that can cause bleeding, pain, itching, and discomfort. Conventional surgical approaches often involve significant post-operative pain and prolonged recovery. Modern laser treatment for haemorrhoids offers a minimally invasive alternative, reducing tissue damage, minimising bleeding, and allowing patients to resume normal activities much faster.

In addition to varicose veins and haemorrhoids, laser techniques were also introduced for anorectal conditions such as fissures and piles, enhancing Rwanda’s capability in advanced proctological care.

Until now, patients in Rwanda seeking advanced laser treatment for varicose veins and haemorrhoids frequently had to travel abroad, facing financial and logistical challenges. The introduction of these procedures at King Faisal Hospital now provides access to world-class minimally invasive care within the country.

“This is a transformative step for vascular and anorectal care in Rwanda,” said Dr. Clement, vascular surgeon at King Faisal Hospital. “We are now equipped with the skills, technology, and confidence to provide advanced laser treatment locally. This will greatly benefit our patients and enhance our surgical capabilities.”

Collaborative Surgical Effort

During this milestone initiative, Dr Brehan and Dr Fidel were actively involved in the laser treatment of piles and fissures. Their participation in patient assessment, procedural execution, and post-operative care ensured a collaborative approach to introducing advanced laser proctology techniques in Rwanda.

Working alongside Dr Chowdhry, the team focused not only on performing successful cases but also on strengthening local expertise in managing haemorrhoids, fissures, and other anorectal disorders through laser technology. Their engagement reflects the hospital’s commitment to adopting modern, patient-friendly surgical solutions.

Beyond Surgery: A Commitment to Skill Transfer

While the introduction of EVLA and laser treatment for haemorrhoids represents a medical milestone, the broader impact lies in structured training and knowledge transfer.

Dr Chowdhry worked closely with the Rwandan surgical team, guiding them through patient evaluation, procedural planning, laser technique, safety protocols, and post-operative management. The objective was clear: ensure local surgeons could independently continue offering the procedures with confidence.

Within days of the initial cases, Rwandan doctors successfully performed additional laser procedures, reporting highly satisfactory early outcomes. One minor post-operative event was managed conservatively without complication, reinforcing both procedural safety and team preparedness.

“Surgical outreach must go beyond performing cases,” Dr Chowdhry stated. “The real achievement lies in empowering local systems. When teams gain both competence and confidence, healthcare evolves sustainably.”

He further added,

“Medicine progresses when knowledge crosses borders. Our responsibility as surgeons is not only to treat patients but also to build systems that continue delivering advanced care long after we leave.”

Strengthening Global Healthcare Collaboration

The collaboration between King Faisal Hospital and Dr Chowdhry reflects a modern approach to international healthcare partnerships — focused not on temporary intervention but on capacity building.

By equipping local surgeons with advanced minimally invasive skills in vascular and anorectal laser procedures, the initiative supports Rwanda’s long-term healthcare development goals and reduces dependence on overseas medical treatment.

The program also highlights the increasing role of Indian medical professionals in global health collaboration. India’s expertise in high-volume minimally invasive and laser surgery has positioned its surgeons as key contributors in international training and outreach programs.

Impact for Patients and the Healthcare System

The availability of EVLA and laser treatment for haemorrhoids in Rwanda is expected to:

Improve access to modern vein and anorectal treatment
Reduce patient travel abroad for advanced procedures
Lower overall healthcare costs for families
Strengthen local surgical infrastructure
Enhance confidence within Rwanda’s vascular and proctology ecosystem

For patients, the benefit is immediate — shorter recovery times, reduced discomfort, minimal scarring, and access to advanced care closer to home.

For the healthcare system, it represents a meaningful step toward greater self-reliance, modernisation, and sustainable surgical advancement.

Dr. Ashish Piplwa and Dr. Ambika Bansal Launch ‘UNLOCKED’ to Transform Intimate Health Education for Young Adults

Desk News — Thu, 05 Mar 2026 14:00:07 +0530

A science-backed guide empowering young adults to replace myths with clarity and shame with understanding

New Delhi [India], March 05: In a time when information is abundant but clarity is scarce, leading medical specialists Dr Ashish Piplwa and Dr. Ambika Bansal have come together to launch their highly anticipated book, Unlocked: Unlocking Knowledge of Your Body, Intimacy and Sexual Health. Designed specifically for young adults, the book aims to break long-standing taboos and offer evidence-based insights into intimate and sexual health—areas often clouded by misinformation, stigma, and silence.

With years of clinical experience in urology and dermatology, the authors have witnessed firsthand the confusion, anxiety, and hesitation many young people face when it comes to understanding their own bodies. Questions about intimacy, sexual wellness, reproductive health, and body changes are often left unasked due to embarrassment or fear of judgment. Unlocked addresses these gaps with compassion, medical accuracy, and a clear message: “Knowing your body is not bold—it’s basic.”

Replacing Myths with Science

One of the central themes of Unlocked is dismantling the myths that continue to circulate around intimate health. In the age of social media and unverified online advice, young adults are frequently exposed to misleading information that can impact both physical and mental wellbeing. By grounding every chapter in scientific evidence and clinical expertise, the authors aim to provide readers with clarity that builds confidence.

“Intimate health is part of overall wellbeing,” the authors emphasize. “It deserves the same attention, openness, and care as heart health or mental health.” Through accessible language and practical explanations, Unlocked reframes conversations around topics that have traditionally been considered uncomfortable. The goal is not sensationalism, but normalization.

The book thoughtfully covers essential aspects of anatomy, sexual health, hygiene, dermatological concerns, urological issues, and emotional dimensions of intimacy. It speaks directly to the uncertainties young adults often experience—whether about bodily changes, relationships, performance anxieties, or societal expectations.

Bridging the Gap Between Medicine and Everyday Life

What sets Unlocked apart is its dual-author perspective. As a urologist and a dermatologist, Dr. Piplwa and Dr. Bansal bring complementary expertise that offers a holistic understanding of intimate wellness. Urological and dermatological health often intersect in matters of sexual wellbeing, yet patients rarely receive integrated guidance. This book bridges that gap.

Beyond medical facts, Unlocked acknowledges the psychological weight that stigma can carry. Shame, misinformation, and silence can create unnecessary distress. The authors advocate for open dialogue and self-education as tools for empowerment. Their message is clear: Clarity builds confidence.

By encouraging readers to approach their bodies with curiosity rather than fear, the book creates a safe space for learning. It empowers young adults to ask questions, seek professional advice when needed, and reject harmful myths.

A Timely Contribution to Changing Conversations

The launch of Unlocked comes at a pivotal time. Globally, conversations around sexual wellness and mental health are gaining visibility, yet structured, science-based guidance tailored for young adults remains limited. Educational systems often provide fragmented information, leaving individuals to navigate complex topics alone.

Dr. Piplwa and Dr. Bansal believe that informed individuals make healthier decisions—not only physically but emotionally and socially. By normalizing discussions around intimacy and sexual health, they hope to contribute to a broader cultural shift where knowledge replaces fear and understanding replaces stigma.

Their primary goal with this launch is not merely to release a book, but to spark informed conversations within families, peer groups, and communities. Through this initiative, they aim to position themselves as thought leaders advocating responsible, medically accurate education in intimate health.

A Call to Empowerment

At its core, Unlocked is an invitation—to learn, to question, and to grow. It reassures readers that uncertainty about one’s body is common, but remaining uninformed does not have to be.

“If you’ve ever felt unsure about your body, this is your sign to start learning,” the authors share. “Unlocked is one step in that journey.”

By combining professional authority with an empathetic tone, Dr. Piplwa and Dr. Bansal have crafted a guide that speaks directly to the needs of today’s young adults. The book reinforces that self-awareness is not controversial—it is essential.

As Unlocked: Unlocking Knowledge of Your Body, Intimacy and Sexual Health reaches readers, it promises to do more than educate. It aims to transform the way intimate health is understood—shifting the narrative from secrecy to science, from hesitation to confidence.

For young adults ready to replace myths with knowledge and shame with understanding, Unlocked offers a clear and empowering starting point.

Sterling Hospitals Sindhubhavan Unit Spearheads Cancer Awareness Walkathon with Rotary Club

Desk News — Sat, 28 Feb 2026 17:00:08 +0530

Ahmedabad (Gujarat) [India], February 27: Sterling Hospitals, in collaboration with the Rotary Club, successfully organized a Cancer Awareness Walkathon to promote awareness about early detection and timely treatment of cancer. Nearly 500 participants took part in the walk, which commenced from Sterling Hospital’s Sindhubhavan Unit. The event was held between 7:00 AM and 9:00 AM and witnessed enthusiastic participation from healthcare professionals, Rotary members, cancer survivors and citizens committed to spreading the message that cancer can be cured if treated at the right time.

The walkathon aimed to create greater public awareness about cancer prevention, the importance of recognizing early symptoms and the need for regular health check-ups. Organizers emphasized that fear and lack of awareness often lead to delayed diagnosis, whereas timely medical consultation can significantly improve treatment outcomes.

Mr. Santosh Marathe, MD & CEO, Sterling Hospitals, said, “Sterling Hospitals offers diagnosis, treatment, survivorship programs & palliative care under Oncology services. With advancements in oncology care, many cancers can be effectively treated and even cured, if diagnosed at the right stage. Through this walkathon, we wanted to reinforce the message that timely screening and medical intervention can truly save lives.”

Highlighting the Sterling hospital’s continued commitment, Mr. Raman Bhaskar, Zonal Director, Ahmedabad Unit, Sterling Hospitals, stated, “The encouraging participation of nearly 500 citizens reflects the growing awareness in the community. Our Sindhubhavan Unit has been dedicated to providing comprehensive cancer care for several years and initiatives like this help us take the message of early detection and cure beyond hospital walls.”

Dr. Prasad Muglikar, Group Medical Director, Sterling Hospitals Group, said, “Cancer care today goes beyond treatment. It is equally about awareness, prevention and early diagnosis. Initiatives like this walkathon help bridge the gap between medical knowledge and public understanding, encouraging people to seek timely consultations and adopt healthier lifestyles that can reduce cancer risk.”

Dr. Pooja Nandwani Patel, Director – Radiation Oncology, Sterling Hospitals, added, “From a clinical perspective, early detection helps identify cancer cases at very early stages, thereby reducing the need for multiple treatments and significantly improving cancer cure rates while ensuring a good quality of life after treatment. Through community outreach efforts like this, we aim to educate citizens about the importance of screening and reassure them that with modern therapies and multidisciplinary care, cancer can be effectively managed.”

Sterling Hospitals’ Sindhubhavan Unit, a dedicated cancer specific center operational for several years, continues to provide comprehensive oncology services including advanced diagnostics, medical oncology, surgical oncology and radiation oncology under one roof.

In urban cities like Ahmedabad, changing lifestyles and delayed health check-ups often contribute to late diagnoses. Sterling Hospital strongly urges citizens not to ignore persistent symptoms such as unexplained weight loss, prolonged cough, unusual lumps, abnormal bleeding or long-standing discomfort.

Regular screenings and preventive health check-ups play a vital role in identifying cancer at an early stage. More importantly, spreading the message that cancer is treatable and, in many cases, curable if addressed in time, is central to this initiative. The successful completion of the walkathon marked a significant step toward building a more informed and health-conscious Ahmedabad, reinforcing the belief that with awareness, regular screening and timely treatment, cancer can be effectively managed and, in many cases, cured.

Early Signs and Symptoms of Thyroid Cancer You Should Not Ignore

Desk News — Fri, 27 Feb 2026 02:00:09 +0530

Early Signs and Symptoms of Thyroid Cancer You Should Not Ignore

Bengaluru (Karnataka) [India], February 26: Thyroid cancer can easily be missed at the beginning stages. There are no dramatic signals – only small, subtle changes in the neck area or the voice, which can be easily neglected. Dr. Vishal Rao, Group Director for Head & Neck Surgical Oncology & Robotic Surgery, HCG Cancer Hospital, Bangalore, explained, “The small butterfly-shaped gland in the neck performs vital functions for the human body. The gland regulates the heart rate, temperature, weight, and levels of energy of the person”.

Although, there’s good news too. Thyroid cancer is an easily treatable disease, and this happens when it is discovered earlier. But, currently, doctors in India detect thyroid cancer at an early age due to improved scanning tools, thus identifying minute lumps as well. Awareness on how to check for this disease makes all the difference

What is Thyroid Cancer?

The thyroid is a small gland that produces hormones to keep your body running smoothly. Sometimes, cells in the thyroid start growing abnormally and form a lump or tumor. There are different types of thyroid cancer. The most common ones, called papillary and follicular, grow very slowly and respond very well to treatment. Less common types, such as medullary and anaplastic, may be more aggressive. But regardless of type, finding it early gives you the best chance of a full recovery.

Thyroid cancer is more common in women than men and can occur at any adult age. Some people have risk factors, such as past radiation treatment to the head or neck, or a family history of thyroid problems. But many people diagnosed have no obvious risk factors at all.

Warning Signs to Watch For

On your neck, is a swelling or bump. That is usually the first sign. It is a firm, painless bump on the front of your neck, and will grow slowly. A lump may not always mean cancer, but any new, growing lump should be looked at by your physician.
Your voice changes. When your voice becomes hoarse, and stays hoarse for weeks, even after resting your voice or after using the cold medicine, it may be due to the effect of a tumor on the nerves that control your vocal cords.
You have difficulty with swallowing and breathing. If you feel like you are choking on food, or notice that your chest feels tight while breathing, a growing lump is likely pushing on the oesophagus and/or trachea.
You experience ongoing pain in your neck and/or throat, with no obvious cause (such as an infection).
Glands that are enlarged in the neck: Large, painless bumps on either side of the neck (lymph nodes) can sometimes signal that cancer has metastasized beyond the thyroid gland.

The common causes of these symptoms may include a variety of non-cancerous conditions such as infections and benign diseases affecting the thyroid; even so if any of these symptoms persist for more than a week or more, it is important to have them examined by a physician.

Why Early Detection Matters

One of the main benefits of detecting thyroid cancer early is that treatment can be less complicated and have better results. Many patients who are diagnosed with thyroid cancer early can expect to lead a full and healthy life after treatment.

In some cases, small, slow-growing cancers may not require surgery; they may be managed through close monitoring. But, if the cancer grows or spreads prior to detection, treatment options will be limited, and recovery will take longer. Early detection provides more treatment options for patients.

How is Thyroid Cancer Diagnosed?

Diagnosing thyroid cancer is fairly easy and generally involves:

A physical examination: Your physician will palpate your neck for abnormalities such as lumps or swelling.
Blood tests: To determine how well your thyroid is functioning.
Ultrasound imaging: A non-invasive imaging technique that uses ultrasound waves to visualize both the thyroid and any abnormalities present.
Biopsy: Should it be necessary, your physician will take a small amount of tissue sample from the lump using a fine needle, which can usually be performed in a medical office.

These tests are widely available across India and are typically done as outpatient procedures – no hospital stay required.

Treatment and Outlook

Various methods can be used to treat cancer depending on what type it is, as well as what stage it is at. Most commonly, surgery is performed to remove the thyroid; yet there are situations where patients need additional treatments such as radioactive iodine or hormone tablets. The prognosis for patients with thyroid cancer is generally favorable because most patients can resume a full and active lifestyle after receiving adequate treatment and attending their follow-up appointments.

Take Action – Listen to Your Body

If you notice any long-term changes to your voice, neck, or swallowing, please do not ignore them. Instead, schedule an appointment with your doctor as soon as possible. Thyroid cancer is one of the most treatable forms of cancer when diagnosed early. Thus, being educated on this topic can both promote healthy habits and offer hope for you or a loved one who has been diagnosed with thyroid cancer.

If you notice any of these signs, please consult a doctor. Early action saves lives.

Timely medical intervention can save lives and delays in ambulance services can cost precious time. Through this initiative, we aim to keep the cause alive and ensure that help reaches patients when they need it the most.”

Dr. Srinath Kanojia, Partner & Director, Jeevanam Hospital & Research Centre, expressed his heartfelt gratitude for the donation of the ambulance to the hospital.

Redefining Trust in Specialist-Led Dental Care in Bangalore: The Narayana Dental Approach

Desk News — Wed, 25 Feb 2026 17:30:09 +0530

New Delhi [India], February 25: In today’s evolving healthcare environment, dental patients are more informed than ever. However, increased information has also brought confusion—conflicting opinions, fragmented treatment plans, and uncertainty about what is genuinely required for long-term oral health. Modern dentistry now demands more than advanced procedures; it requires clarity, ethics, and trust.

Addressing this need is Narayana Specialists Dental & Implant Centre, a super-speciality dental institution in Bangalore, built on the philosophy that dental care must be specialist-led, patient-centric, and outcome-driven. With conveniently located centers in Indiranagar, KR Puram, and Jayanagar, Narayana Dental is redefining how ethical, structured dentistry is delivered.

Moving Beyond General Dentistry

One of the major challenges in conventional dental practice is treating complex dental problems with generalized solutions. Issues such as failed root canals, implant complications, bite corrections, or aesthetic rehabilitation often require multidisciplinary planning, not isolated treatments.

At Narayana Dental, every patient case begins with a specialist evaluation. Treatments are led by experienced experts in Endodontics, Implantology, Prosthodontics, Orthodontics, Oral Surgery, and Aesthetic Dentistry. This structured approach ensures precision, predictability, and long-term success.

Patients searching for a specialist dental clinic in Indiranagar, advanced dental care in KR Puram, or ethical dental treatment in Jayanagar benefit from this collaborative, expert-driven model.

Advanced Technology Guided by Clinical Expertise

Technology enhances dentistry only when guided by skilled clinicians. Narayana Dental integrates advanced tools such as CBCT imaging, dental microscopes, digital scans, and modern surgical systems to improve diagnostic accuracy and treatment outcomes.

Procedures like microscope-assisted root canal treatments, digitally planned dental implants, and minimally invasive surgeries help reduce discomfort and promote faster healing. Across all branches in Bangalore, technology supports—but never replaces—clinical judgment.

A Trusted Referral Centre for Complex Dental Cases

Over the years, Narayana Dental has emerged as a trusted referral destination in Bangalore for complex and previously failed dental cases. Patients with unresolved dental pain, implant failures, or full-mouth rehabilitation needs often find definitive solutions here.

This reputation has been built on consistent outcomes, ethical decision-making, and specialist collaboration, making Narayana Dental a preferred choice for both patients and referring dentists.

Patient-Centric Care with a Human Touch

Beyond clinical excellence, Narayana Dental prioritizes patient comfort and emotional well-being. Dental anxiety is addressed through transparent consultations, detailed treatment explanations, and compassionate communication.

Patients visiting the Indiranagar, KR Puram, or Jayanagar clinics are empowered with clear knowledge of their condition and treatment options—allowing informed, confident decision-making and long-term trust.

A Vision Rooted in Ethics and Excellence

As dentistry continues to evolve, Narayana Specialists Dental & Implant Centre remains committed to ethical growth, specialist-led care, and clinical excellence. By expanding thoughtfully across Bangalore while maintaining uncompromising standards, Narayana Dental aims to set benchmarks in super-speciality dentistry.

For patients seeking a trusted dental clinic in Bangalore, specialist dentists in Indiranagar, implant experts in KR Puram, or advanced dental care in Jayanagar, Narayana Dental continues to stand as a name built on trust.

Desk News — Wed, 25 Feb 2026 11:30:06 +0530

Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], February 25: Hair restoration procedures have advanced significantly, with Dr. Viral Desai leading the way in revolutionizing hair transplants in Mumbai. Dr. Desai, a renowned cosmetic and hair transplant surgeon, has introduced the NHDT (Natural High Density Hair Transplant) technique, setting new standards for natural-looking hair restoration. With over 20 years of experience and training across global destinations like Greece, Singapore, and London, Dr. Desai is widely recognized for his expertise in delivering exceptional results with minimal scarring and shorter recovery times.

Dr. Desai’s clinic is a premier destination for those seeking hair transplant in Mumbai, offering the latest advancements in hair restoration techniques tailored to meet individual patient needs. The NHDT technique has quickly become one of the most sought-after treatments for individuals seeking a non-invasive solution to hair restoration. Unlike traditional methods, NHDT minimizes scarring while ensuring a fuller, more natural appearance. By placing hair follicles at an optimal depth and angle, the technique blends seamlessly with existing hair, providing long-lasting results.

“Hair restoration is not just about placing hair follicles.

While traditional FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) continues to be a popular choice for many patients, Dr. Desai’s personalized approach ensures that each patient receives a treatment plan best suited for their hair type and desired outcomes. Both FUE and NHDT are offered at the clinic, with Dr. Desai providing expert guidance to determine the most effective technique for each individual. Factors such as hair quality, degree of hair loss, and future hair loss patterns are all considered to craft a treatment plan that delivers optimal results.

Dr. Desai’s clinic also offers a wide range of non-surgical treatments for those seeking hair restoration solutions without the need for surgery. Services like PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) therapy, mesotherapy, exosome hair therapy and laser therapy help improve hair density and promote growth, providing an excellent option for patients who may not need a full transplant.

Dr. Harsh Sheth Highlights The Obesity–Hernia Connection: Why Hernia Cases Are Becoming More Complex

Desk News — Tue, 24 Feb 2026 22:30:15 +0530

Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], February 24: Surgeons across India are experiencing an increase in difficult hernia operations which primarily occurs because of rising obesity rates. Medical experts now warn that excess body weight not only increases the risk of developing hernias but also complicates their treatment, recovery, and long-term outcomes. The current trend has started to draw attention to the strong relationship which exists between obesity and hernia development.

Bariatric and laparoscopic surgery specialists report that abdominal wall hernias which include umbilical hernias and incisional hernias and ventral hernias now occur more frequently among patients who have excess weight. The constant pressure which the excess fat applies to the abdominal wall causes muscle weakness under the pressure, which results in abdominal wall bulging and ruptures. In obese patients, hernias also tend to be larger, recurrent, and more difficult to repair successfully.

Dr. Harsh Sheth, the foremost Bariatric and Laparoscopic Surgeon in Mumbai, states that obesity causes two different effects which lead to hernias. The extra body weight creates elevated abdominal pressure, which results in abdominal wall damage. Modern surgeons encounter their greatest obstacle when they need to perform hernia surgery on patients who have diabetes and high blood pressure and fatty liver disease. The medical conditions of patients create two problems during surgery because they raise danger levels and create obstacles to optimal healing post surgery. The surgical treatment of hernias for obese patients demands specialized knowledge and advanced medical techniques in addition to a cooperative effort between various medical teams.

Literature studies indicate patients who suffer from obesity face a higher risk of developing surgical complications, which include both wound infections, mesh problems and recurrences following their standard hernia operations. The surgical community has started to prefer minimally invasive methods which use laparoscopic and robotic hernia surgeries because these techniques decrease surgical damage and lead to better patient recovery results.

“Minimally invasive hernia surgery has transformed the way we treat obese patients,” says Dr. Sheth. “Smaller incisions mean less pain, faster healing, and lower infection rates. However, long-term success still depends on addressing obesity as an underlying cause.”

Another emerging trend is the increasing number of patients who develop hernias which keep coming back after they have undergone earlier open surgical procedures. People with obesity have a much higher chance of experiencing recurrence which makes their subsequent operations more complicated and demanding than regular procedures. The surgical community now engages in discussions about how doctors should manage obesity before performing hernia surgery.

Surgeons in specific situations now use a combination of bariatric and hernia surgery which allows them to perform weight-loss surgery and hernia repair either simultaneously in a staged manner. The method intends to decrease total surgical hazards while enhancing results that persist over time. Patients who undergo bariatric surgery experience weight reduction which creates lower abdominal wall tension and enhances their metabolic system while decreasing the likelihood of developing hernias again.

Dr. Sheth points out that patient knowledge plays a vital role in hernia treatment. The absence of initial pain from swelling makes people postpone their hernia treatment. The delays in hernia treatment due to obesity may lead to dangerous bowel obstruction and strangulation. The emergency situation occurs due to either a lack of early detection or postponing surgical evaluation.

Experts state that hernia repair represents only one component of a complete health program which requires patients to control their weight and adopt new habits while receiving ongoing medical supervision.

Awareness about the connection between obesity and hernias will allow patients to make better medical choices. Patients who lose weight before or after hernia surgery experience better surgical results and better life quality. Medical professionals now recommend that patients use long-term weight loss methods such as medical nutrition therapy and supervised exercise, or pharmacotherpay, or bariatric surgery when it is needed.

As awareness grows, medical professionals hope that more patients will seek early consultation and holistic treatment rather than delaying care. “The goal is not just to repair a hernia, but to prevent it from coming back,” says Dr. Sheth. “Addressing obesity is central to achieving that goal.”

The management of hernia in obese patients demonstrates rapid progress through current developments in minimally invasive surgical techniques and increased research focus on metabolic health. Experts predict that the future of hernia treatment in India will depend on an integrated approach that combines surgical skills with weight management solutions.

Early Surgical Intervention in Parkinson’s Disease: Why Waiting Too Long May Limit Treatment Benefits? – Dr. Naren Nayak

Desk News — Tue, 24 Feb 2026 22:30:11 +0530

Thane (Maharashtra) [India], February 24: Patients with Parkinson’s disease require primary medication for their condition until they reach the point where doctors need to conduct surgery. Medical research currently demonstrates that patients with Parkinson’s disease can achieve better long-term results through surgical treatment when they undergo surgery at an early stage of their condition.

Dr. Naren Nayak, Consultant Neurosurgeon in Thane and Movement Disorder Specialist, states that patients who postpone their medical evaluation until their symptoms become severe will experience lower treatment success with advanced medical solutions which will hinder their progress toward better health. Parkinson’s disease causes patients to develop their condition in stages which results in medications producing “on-off” effects and multiple “on” and “off” symptom periods. People hold a false belief which Dr. Nayak describes as surgical treatment needing to wait until all other methods have shown no success. The early assessment process enables specialists to identify patients who will receive the most benefit from surgical procedures such as Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) for Parkinson’s disease before their condition reaches a point which will result in less effective outcomes. Parkinson’s disease DBS treatment operates as an established surgical procedure which scientists have researched through medical studies. The treatment enables patients to control their tremors and rigidity along with their movement speed and motor fluctuations by using electrical stimulation to activate brain areas.

DBS proves effective when provided at correct times because it decreases medication requirements while sustaining daily symptom control and enabling substantial progress in patient independence. Early surgical assessment leads to two outcomes for patients which include assessment of their medical condition through neurological testing and neurosurgical evaluation for determining which treatments should proceed and when based on their medical condition. Modern functional neurosurgery provides patients with targeted treatment options which include DBS, Thalamotomy, Pallidotomy, Radiofrequency Lesioning and MR-Guided Focused Ultrasound (MRgFUS) for specifically selected patients who require movement disorder treatment. The implementation of advanced imaging systems together with precise targeting abilities and modern technological advancements enables procedures to achieve improved safety levels and enhanced operational efficiency compared to previous times.

Research from around the world shows that patients who get surgery in the early stages of their medical condition experience better results with their motor skills and overall life satisfaction while maintaining higher levels of social and work engagement. The healthcare system needs to draw more attention toward treating disability which happens before patients reach critical impairment because this period provides major advantages which include surgical treatment with higher success rates. Dr. Nayak emphasizes that timely referral is critical, stating that “patients should be evaluated for surgical options when medications start causing side effects or no longer provide consistent control, not years later when options become restricted.”

Innovative Egg ‘Rejuvenation’ Techniques Boost IVF Success for Women with Low Ovarian Reserve at Nisha IVF Centre

Desk News — Tue, 24 Feb 2026 22:30:06 +0530

Ahmedabad (Gujarat) [India], February 24: The Nisha IVF Centre, which Dr. Nisarg Patel directs as its director, uses his expertise to create new methods of treating fertility problems that women with low ovarian reserve experience through their egg rejuvenation approaches. The new method helps women achieve higher IVF success rates when they face challenges with their egg count and quality.

Women with low ovarian reserve, which usually occurs because of their age or existing medical conditions, experience major challenges when trying to conceive. The best way for most people to achieve conception lies with IVF which allows them to create embryos outside their body. The new egg rejuvenation treatments at Nisha IVF Centre in Ahmedabad establish a direct solution to this problem because they bring eggs back to life which results in greater success rates for future pregnancies.

Dr. Nisarg Patel, Founder and Director of Nisha IVF Centre, commented, “Women with low ovarian reserve often feel hopeless when it comes to their fertility. Our egg rejuvenation techniques are designed to improve the quality of the eggs, giving them a fresh opportunity for conception. We present a treatment solution for women who believed they had reached their final option through our specialized care and modern medical equipment.”

The Nisha IVF Centre has introduced PRP therapy as one of its primary treatment options. The advanced technique utilizes blood from the patient, which undergoes processing to obtain growth factors. The PRP gets injected into the ovaries to enhance egg production and boost egg quality. The method enables women with low ovarian reserve to achieve significant improvements in their ovarian function according to the study results.

The Nisha IVF Centre provides Ovarian Tissue Freezing services to women who want to keep their ability to have children. The procedure enables women to preserve their ovarian tissue which can be used later for re-implantation or egg retrieval purposes thus creating a helpful choice for women who expect to encounter future fertility problems or wish to postpone having children.

The combination of these techniques has already shown promising results which assist women with low ovarian reserve to achieve successful pregnancy through IVF treatment. The Nisha IVF Centre provides women who believed their fertility options were restricted with a second chance through its egg rejuvenation and ovarian function enhancement treatments.

Dr. Patel and his team at Nisha IVF Centre provide individual-centered methods for their fertility treatment services. The medical team creates individualized treatment strategies for every patient which are based on the patient’s medical background and their reproductive treatment expectations. The clinic’s high success rates in IVF and other fertility treatments demonstrate their medical expertise and advanced technological equipment and their dedication to treating patients with compassion.

Nisha IVF Centre provides women with low ovarian reserve fertility treatment through its advanced facilities and skilled personnel and modern medical methods. The clinic delivers comprehensive reproductive health services through its complete range of services which include IVF and egg freezing and sperm donation and male fertility treatments.

Dr. Nisarg Patel developed patient care methods which guarantee that all women will receive effective fertility treatments. Nisha IVF Centre will maintain its leadership position in Ahmedabad and other locations as it develops its egg rejuvenation methods which are part of its ongoing research.

Understanding TOFI and Heart Risk with Dr. Pavan Patel – Cardiologist – Shraddha Multispeciality Hospital Surat

Desk News — Mon, 23 Feb 2026 13:30:08 +0530

Surat (Gujarat) [India], February 21: Many people appear slim, healthy, and fit. Their body weight and BMI are also within the normal range. However, inside the body—especially around the abdominal organs—there may be an excessive accumulation of visceral fat. This condition is scientifically known as TOFI – Thin Outside, Fat Inside.

This fat is not visible externally, but metabolically it can be highly dangerous.

What is TOFI?

1. Normal body weight and BMI

2. Slim appearance from the outside

3. Excess fat around internal abdominal organs

4. Higher risk of metabolic diseases

Key Understanding: The belief that “normal weight means healthy” is proven wrong in TOFI.

Why is Visceral Fat Dangerous?

-Visceral fat accumulates directly around vital organs such as the liver, pancreas, heart, and intestines. It interferes with hormonal balance and insulin function.

As a result, it can lead to:

1. Insulin resistance

2. Type 2 diabetes

3. Fatty liver (NAFLD)

4. High blood pressure

5. Elevated triglycerides

6. Heart disease

Many people are suddenly diagnosed with diabetes or heart problems because they appear fit externally and therefore do not undergo regular health checkups.

Who Should Be Especially Careful?

1. Individuals who sit for long hours

2. Those who do not exercise regularly

3. People consuming high amounts of carbohydrates and sweets

4. Slim individuals with a protruding abdomen

5. Family history of diabetes or heart disease

Essential Tests to Identify TOFI

1. Waist circumference:

Men: > 90 cm

Women: > 80 cm

2. Waist–Hip Ratio

3. Lipid Profile (elevated triglycerides)

4. HbA1c

5. Liver Function Test (indicator of fatty liver)

6. Ultrasound Abdomen

7. Body Fat % / Visceral Fat measurement (BIA machine)

Hidden Signs (Not Easily Visible)

1. Fat around the abdomen

2. Fatigue and low energy

3. Abnormal lipid profile

4. Changes in liver function tests

5. Borderline HbA1c

How to Prevent TOFI?

1. Improve Diet

– Reduce white rice, refined flour, potatoes, and sweets

– Increase protein intake: lentils, green gram, chickpeas, paneer, eggs

– Eat more green vegetables and salads

– Replace wheat with millets like jowar, bajra, and ragi

– Avoid sugar and cold drinks

– Avoid Junk food

– Avoid food with preservatives and artificial ingredients

– Avoid alcohol and smoking

2. Regular Exercise (Very Important)

– Brisk walking for 45 minutes daily

– Strength training 4 days a week

– Core exercises: planks, crunches

– Yoga and Surya Namaskar

3. Lifestyle Modification

– 7–8 hours of sleep

– Stress management

– Avoid prolonged sitting

Important Message:

TOFI is a “silent risk.” Looking fit externally is not enough. Waist measurement, lipid profile, and liver screening should be done regularly.

Remember: “Being slim does not guarantee good health.”

Final Advice:

If you are slim but have a protruding abdomen, or if you have a family history of diabetes or heart disease, get the above tests done and begin lifestyle modifications today.

With proper awareness and preventive care, hidden risks like TOFI can be effectively

Female Age and Reproduction By Dr Ruchi Thakor – Ruchi Candor Women Hospital & IVF Center.

Desk News — Fri, 20 Feb 2026 20:30:06 +0530

New Delhi [India], February 20: A woman’s reproductive ability is deeply influenced by age. While communal and personal choices play an important role in determining when to plan a family, biological factors remain constant. Understanding how age affects fertility empowers women to make informed, timely, and confident reproductive decisions.

Understanding Female Fertility

Women are born with a finite number of eggs. This ovarian reserve declines gradually with age, both in number and quality. Unlike sperm production in men, egg production does not renew, making age a crucial determinant of fertility, pregnancy success, and outcomes.

Fertility at Different Life Stages

20–29 years
This is the most fertile phase. Ovulation is regular, egg quality is optimal, and chances of natural conception are highest. Pregnancy-related complications are minimal.

30–34 years
Fertility remains good, though a slow decline begins. Many women conceive naturally during this phase, but ovarian reserve starts decreasing silently.

35–39 years
Fertility decline becomes more significant. There is a noticeable reduction in egg quality, leading to lower conception rates and higher risks of miscarriage and chromosomal abnormalities.

40 years and above
Natural conception becomes challenging. Assisted reproductive techniques such as IVF may help, but success rates are lower due to reduced egg quality. Pregnancy risks such as high blood pressure, diabetes, and preterm delivery increase.

Effect of Age on Fertility Treatments

Age is the strongest predictor of success in fertility treatments. Younger women usually respond better to ovarian stimulation and have higher-quality embryos. As age advances, treatment cycles may increase, and in some cases, donor eggs may be advised for better outcomes.

Fertility Preservation Options

Women who wish to delay pregnancy can consider:

Fertility assessment (AMH test and ultrasound)
Egg freezing at a younger age
Early consultation with a gynecologist or fertility specialist

Healthy lifestyle habits can support reproductive health, but they cannot fully reverse age-related fertility decline.

Final Message

Age-related fertility decline is natural, but awareness is key. Women should seek accurate medical guidance rather than rely on myths. Timely evaluation and personalized counseling can help achieve healthy reproductive outcomes.

Women above 35 years should consult a gynecologist if pregnancy does not occur after six months of trying.

Why the Indian Government (and PM Jan Aushadhi) Encourages You to Buy Generic Medicines Online

Desk News — Fri, 20 Feb 2026 20:00:09 +0530

New Delhi [India], February 20: Prescription costs can add up month after month. That is why the government promotes generic medicine online through the Pradhan Mantri Bhartiya Jan Aushadhi Pariyojana (PMBJP), making treatment more affordable. This article explains how the scheme works, why generics are encouraged, what “same salt” means, and how to switch safely.

What is PM Jan Aushadhi

PMBJP is a government programme that sells affordable medicines at 50%-90% lower prices.

What you get: Affordable medicines through dedicated outlets

Over 16,900 Jan Aushadhi Kendras sell medicines at up to 50% lower than branded prices, with savings often reaching 80-90%. Supplies come from WHO-GMP certified manufacturers to ensure consistent quality.

How it fits into the broader “affordable healthcare” goal

The scheme has delivered about ₹30,000 crore in public savings in the last decade. Out-of-pocket spending fell from 62.6% (2014–15) to 39.4% (2021–22).

Why does the government push generics?

The following reasons drive this nationwide push:

1. Lower out-of-pocket spending for families

High out-of-pocket costs can drain family income, push households into debt, and force tough choices between treatment and essentials.

2. Wider access to essential medicines beyond big cities

Jan Aushadhi Kendras now cover 912 districts, and every district has access to affordable medicine outlets.

3. Creating competition beyond brands

Generic medicines typically cost 30%-80% less than their branded equivalents. Despite identical therapeutic value, branded versions often cost significantly more.

4. Making prescriptions easier to understand

Doctors must write the generic name in CAPITAL letters, as per the National Medical Commission, so you can identify the ingredient easily.

Are generics safe in India?

Understanding quality standards helps build confidence when purchasing generic medicines online.

What does quality mean in practice?

CDSCO regulates all medicines under the Drugs and Cosmetics Act, 1940, and generics must meet the same quality standards as branded drugs.

What can differ without changing the treatment?

Packaging, branding, and tablet colour or shape may differ across manufacturers, but these changes do not alter how the medicine works.

What must never differ?

The active ingredient, strength, dosage form, and release type must match exactly. Generics must also demonstrate bioequivalence, meaning they work the same as branded versions.

The “same salt” rule

This commonly misunderstood concept requires careful explanation.

Same ingredient, not always same medicine

Bioequivalence tests ensure generics perform like the original, usually within an 80%-125% range for key pharmacokinetic measures.

The 4 must-match checks

Before switching, match the ingredient, strength (mg/ml), dosage form, and release type on the pack.

How to Switch

Follow these steps when considering generic alternatives.

Step 1: Read the prescription

Identify the generic/ingredient name (often in capitals), even if a brand is also written.

Step 2: Match the medicine details before comparing prices

Confirm the four must-match checks, then compare prices.

Step 3: Approve alternatives only after matching

Approve a suggested substitute only after you verify all four checks (unless your prescriber has specified otherwise).

Step 4: Verify on pickup

Check expiry, batch, invoice, and seal. Ensure not to start the medicine if anything seems off.

Common Misunderstandings

Clearing these myths builds confidence.

“Cheaper means fake”

Lower prices of the medicine reflect lower marketing costs, not lower quality. Standards stay the same for all approved medicines.

“Stronger strength means I should take more”

Strength is the amount of ingredient per dose, so never change dose or frequency without medical advice.

“Same salt means instant swap.”

An ingredient alone isn’t enough; strength, dosage form, and release type must also match.

Conclusion

When you understand why the government promotes generic medicine online, you can cut costs without compromising treatment quality. Always confirm the match and consult with your doctor or pharmacist before switching.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. Why is the government promoting generics actively?

It lowers out-of-pocket costs, expands access, and maintains the quality standards. PMBJP has saved about ₹30,000 crore over ten years.

2. How do Jan Aushadhi generics differ from branded medicines?

Both contain identical active ingredients and meet the same regulatory standards. Differences include pricing, packaging, and brand names.

3. Are same-salt medicines always safe to swap?

No, strength, dosage form, and release type must also match; confirm with a doctor/pharmacist if unsure.

4. What should I check before accepting a substitute?

Match ingredient, strength, dosage form, and release type, then verify expiry, batch, invoice, and the pack seal.

5. What should I do if my medicine looks different from before?

Appearance can vary, so recheck ingredient and strength on the strip/bottle and confirm with your pharmacist if anything doesn’t match.

Aortic Aneurysm: The Silent Killer We Must Detect Early

Desk News — Fri, 20 Feb 2026 20:00:06 +0530

Dr. Ravinder Singh Rao, Chairman, Cardiac science, Vice Chairman, RHL, Rajasthan Hospital

New Delhi [India], February 20: Aortic aneurysm is one of the most dangerous yet least understood vascular diseases. It develops silently, without early symptoms, and often reveals itself only when it becomes life-threatening.

In simple terms, it occurs when the aorta — the main artery carrying blood from the heart — becomes weak and begins to bulge outward. Constant blood pressure on this weakened wall gradually increases the risk of rupture, which can cause massive internal bleeding and sudden death.

What makes this condition especially dangerous is its silent progression. Most individuals feel completely normal while the disease develops slowly over years. There is usually no pain, no discomfort, and no visible warning sign. This is why an aortic aneurysm is rightly known as a “silent killer. It is more commonly seen in men between 50 and 80 years of age although women are not completely safe either. Patients already suffering from coronary artery disease are at an even hiaher risk. Studies suggest that nearly 4 percent of such patients may develop an aortic aneurysm.”

Who Should Be Alert

Certain groups face a higher risk:

• Smokers

• Individuals with high blood pressure

• People above 50 years of age

• Patients with heart disease

• Those with a family history of vascular disorders

However, risk is not limited to these groups alone. The absence of symptoms does not mean the absence of disease

The Danger of Sudden Rupture

When an aneurysm ruptures, the situation becomes immediately critical. Severe chest, back, or abdominal pain, sudden collapse, breathlessness, and loss of consciousness may occur within minutes. Without rapid medical intervention, survival becomes extremely difficult.

This reality makes early detection far more important than emergency treatment. Planned care saves lives; delayed diagnosis costs them.

The Role of Screening

Screening is the most powerful tool against this silent disease.

A simple ultrasound or scan can identify an aneurysm long before it becomes dangerous.

Screening is especially important for:

• People above 60 years

• Smokers

• High blood pressure patients

• Heart disease patients

Early diagnosis allows doctors to monitor the condition, plan timely intervention, and prevent catastrophic rupture.

Modern Treatment: How EVAR Has Transformed Care

Advances in medical science have completely changed the way aortic aneurysms are treated. Today, many patients no longer require high-risk open-chest or open-abdominal surgery.

One of the most advanced techniques is EVAR (Endovascular Aortic Repair) — a minimally invasive procedure in which a stent-graft is placed inside the weakened portion of the aorta through a small incision in the groin. This internal support reinforces the artery from within, prevents rupture, and restores safe blood flow.

Unlike traditional surgery, EVAR:

• Avoids large surgical cuts

• Reduces blood loss and surgical trauma

• Minimizes complications

• Shortens hospital stay

• Enables faster recovery

• Allows elderly and high-risk patients to receive safe treatment

Most importantly, EVAR converts a life-threatening disease into a planned, controlled, and treatable condition — when detected early.

1/3rd Indians wake up to poor sleep: Dr Vikas Agrawal

Desk News — Thu, 19 Feb 2026 18:30:05 +0530

Dr. Vikas Agrawal, Asia’s leading ENT surgeon.

Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], February 19: Mumbai will host India’s first International Sleep Surgery Conference (ISSS2026) from February 20–22, 2026, at JW Marriott Sahar. Chaired by Dr Vikas Agrawal, called the ‘father of sleep surgery’ in India, this landmark three- day event features global experts in sleep medicine to address one of the most silent epidemics of modern times; sleep apnea, which affects a staggering one third of Indians. Given the importance of the subject, Justice D.Y. Chandrachud, former Chief Justice of India will inaugurate the conference and highlight why ‘sleep health’ is an important public health and policy issue.

The three-day conference aims to spotlight three big growing medical and public health concerns

Sleep apnea is extremely dangerous but easily treatable if diagnosed early.
The lifetime burden of sleep apnea indicates that this condition leads to everything from heart disease to cancer to road safety concerns linked to excessive daytime sleepiness to divorces. This can be easily prevented if treated early and insurance companies cover all treatment modalities for sleep apnea.
Snoring is a sensitive subject. Families can now use technology to detect snoring, sleep apnea and seek intervention early.

The inaugural event will also feature prominent voices in ENT including Padmashri Dr. Milind Kirtane and Padmashri Dr. Kameswaran. Global experts such as Dr. Maria Suurna (Miami), President of the International Sleep Surgery Society (ISSS) will throw light on insurance practices in the US.

Ahead of the conference, Dr Vikas Agrawal said, “Insurance coverage for basic OSA surgery is fragmented. Given how destructive sleep apnea is, and the pace of medical advancements, it is important that treatment be covered by all policies. – for eg. in patients who cannot tolerate CPAP- a tongue based pace maker is available in developed countries, should be made available in India- it is important for families to be able to reach out for a cure. A simple day care procedure to cure sleep apnea can make a massive difference to people’s daily lives and prevent dangerous diseases from taking hold.”

Beyond surgical advancements, the conference seeks to encourage wider awareness, early diagnosis, and collaborative policy discussions to address sleep apnea as a growing public health concern in India.

Rectal Cancer Survivorship at MACS Clinic: Offering Ongoing Support for Recovery

Desk News — Wed, 18 Feb 2026 23:00:03 +0530

Bengaluru (Karnataka) [India], February 18: Cancer treatment doesn’t end when the last surgery or cycle of chemotherapy is complete, especially for patients who have battled rectal cancer. Survivorship brings its own set of challenges, from physical healing to emotional adjustment. At MACS Clinic in Bengaluru, a strong emphasis on comprehensive post‑treatment care ensures patients don’t merely survive cancer; they thrive beyond it. Spearheading this compassionate approach is Dr. Sandeep Nayak, a globally recognized surgical oncologist known for his innovative cancer surgery techniques and patient‑centred care.

As a leader in Cancer Treatment in Bangalore, MACS Clinic understands that rectal cancer recovery is a journey, not a destination. “We treat the tumour first, but then we help patients rebuild their lives,” says Dr. Nayak. “Survivorship care means empowering patients with the tools, support, and guidance they need to regain strength, confidence, and normalcy after intensive treatment.” At every stage, MACS Clinic’s multidisciplinary team stands beside the patient, offering personalised support tailored to each survivor’s physical, emotional, and psychological needs.

Rectal cancer can affect quality of life long after the tumour is removed. Patients may struggle with bowel dysfunction, fatigue, dietary changes, or anxiety about recurrence. Recognising these realities, Dr. Nayak and his team have developed a comprehensive survivorship programme that goes beyond standard follow‑ups. “Every person’s journey is unique,” explains Dr. Nayak. “We assess not just test results, but quality of life, daily function, and emotional well-being. That’s what true cancer care looks like.”

MACS Clinic’s survivorship care includes rehabilitation, dietary guidance, pain management, psychosocial counselling, and routine surveillance to detect early recurrence. Physiotherapists, dietitians, counsellors, and oncology specialists work together to help survivors resume their daily routines with confidence. “Our patients often tell us that the fear of recurrence is as real as the disease itself,” says Dr. Nayak. “We listen, we guide, and we help them find strength in the path ahead.”

For many rectal cancer survivors, practical support is just as important as medical follow‑ups. MACS Clinic provides education on lifestyle modifications that may reduce long‑term complications, including guidance on exercise, nutrition, and bowel health. “Knowledge is power,” Dr. Nayak notes. “Understanding your body and how to care for it after cancer gives patients a sense of control. That’s a huge part of recovery.”

Stories of restored hope and resilience are a testament to the clinic’s approach. Take the case of a person who underwent robotic‑assisted rectal cancer surgery at MACS Clinic. After surgery and adjuvant therapy, he struggled with fatigue, anxiety, and changes in bowel habits. The survivorship team provided tailored rehabilitation exercises, nutritional counselling, and regular check‑ins, enabling him to regain strength and return to work within months. “I felt supported every step of the way,” he says. “The team didn’t just treat my cancer, they treated me as a person.”

MACS Clinic’s survivor care model also encourages family involvement, ensuring caregivers have the resources to support their loved ones. “Cancer affects families as much as it does patients,” Dr. Nayak explains. “We encourage open conversations, counselling sessions, and family education so the whole support system is strong.”

Dr. Nayak’s vision of holistic care is rooted in decades of experience and innovation in surgical oncology. As the Founder and Chief of Surgical Oncology at MACS Clinic, he has dedicated his career to minimally invasive and robotic techniques that reduce trauma and accelerate recovery. His expertise extends to complex procedures such as robotic and laparoscopic surgery for rectal, thyroid, head and neck, and other cancers. “My goal has always been to minimise the physical burden of cancer treatment,” says Dr. Nayak. “But survivorship is about minimising the emotional and social burdens too.”

The clinic’s commitment to excellence attracts patients not only from across India but also from abroad. With state‑of‑the‑art facilities and a multidisciplinary team that includes medical oncologists, radiation specialists, nutritionists, physiotherapists, and counsellors, MACS Clinic ensures a continuum of care that extends well into the post‑treatment phase.

Importantly, survivorship care at MACS Clinic is proactive rather than reactive. Regular surveillance with imaging, blood tests, and clinical evaluations helps catch potential recurrence early, when treatments are most effective. Patients also have access to support groups and educational sessions that keep them informed and engaged long after formal treatment has ended.

“Becoming a survivor is a milestone,” Dr. Nayak reflects. “But living well after cancer, that is the real victory. We are here to make sure survivors do not feel alone, confused, or uncertain. This is our promise to every person who walks through our doors.”

If you or a loved one is navigating life after rectal cancer treatment, MACS Clinic’s comprehensive survivorship programme offers ongoing support designed to restore health, confidence, and wellbeing.

Now People Are Taking Their Hydration Seriously with This Copper Stem Combo

Desk News — Mon, 16 Feb 2026 18:30:18 +0530

New Delhi [India], February 16: Hydration is no longer just about drinking enough water — it’s about drinking better water. As wellness-conscious consumers seek natural, sustainable, and meaningful lifestyle upgrades, a timeless Ayurvedic practice is making a powerful comeback. The newly introduced Copper Stem and 550ml Glass Bottle Combo is redefining everyday hydration, blending ancient wisdom with modern convenience.

Inspired by the Ayurvedic practice of Tamra Jal Sevan Vidhi, this thoughtfully designed copper stem transforms ordinary water into mineral-enriched hydration — naturally and effortlessly.

Ancient Wisdom Meets Modern Living.

In Ayurveda, water (Jal) is one of the Panchamahabhutas — the five great elements of life. Classical texts such as the Charaka Samhita and Sushruta Samhita describe the benefits of storing water in copper vessels overnight. This practice is believed to support Sharir Shuddhi (gentle bodily purification) and promote Tridosha Samya — balance among Vata, Pitta, and Kapha.

The Copper Stem brings this time-tested ritual into modern life in a compact, elegant format. Instead of bulky copper pots, users can now simply place a sleek, unpolished 100% pure copper stem inside a 550ml glass bottle, leave it overnight, and wake up to naturally enriched copper infused water.

A Minimal Design with Maximum Impact

The Copper Stem is crafted from pure copper without artificial polish, coatings, or chemical treatments. Designed to fit seamlessly inside a 550ml premium glass bottle, it preserves water’s pure taste and clarity while steadily infusing it with essential minerals.

The result? Water that remains odor-free, temperature-neutral, and refreshing — with added trace copper content.

Lab-tested using the highly accurate ICP-OES mineral analysis technique, the infusion levels show a gradual and safe mineral release:

After 6 hours: ~0.1 ppm copper

After 12 hours: ~0.3 ppm copper

After 24 hours: ~0.5 ppm copper

This steady infusion allows water to become mineral-enriched in a measured and controlled manner. As the copper stem rests longer in the bottle, it continues to release small amounts of copper, aligning with daily nutritional needs.

Supporting Daily Copper Intake

Copper is an essential trace mineral that plays a role in iron metabolism, connective tissue formation, energy production, and immune function. While the daily recommended intake for adults is generally around 0.9 mg, many modern diets may not consistently meet optimal levels.

The Copper Stem combo offers a simple, natural way to reintroduce trace amounts of copper into daily hydration — without supplements, additives, or artificial enhancements.

More Than a Bottle — A Complete Ayurvedic Hydration System.

Used together, the copper stem and 550ml glass bottle create a complete Ayurvedic hydration system:

Drop the Stem – Place the copper stem into the glass bottle filled with water.

Leave Overnight – Allow it to rest for several hours for natural mineral infusion.

Drink and Repeat – Start your day with copper-infused water and experience hydration rooted in tradition.

The process is beautifully simple: Use. Clean. Repeat.

The stem is easy to carry, easy to clean, and built to last. As a valuable metal, copper offers durability and longevity, making this a lifelong wellness companion rather than a disposable product – Stylish, Sustainable, and Thoughtful.

Beyond health benefits, the Copper Stem Combo is a lifestyle statement. The 550ml glass bottle offers a clean, minimalist aesthetic suitable for office desks, yoga studios, gym bags, or travel. It encourages mindful hydration habits while reducing reliance on plastic bottles.

Key highlights include:

Toxin-free storage
Pure taste and odor-free hydration
Environmentally responsible design
Temperature-neutral water
Free from artificial coatings or chemical polish
Encourages better daily hydration habits

This also makes it a thoughtful gifting option for wellness enthusiasts, corporate hampers, festive occasions, or anyone beginning their health journey.

Naturally Alkaline, Naturally Balanced

One of the most talked-about aspects of copper-infused water is its ability to help maintain a balanced mineral profile. The infusion process reintroduces essential trace minerals and may help support the body’s natural balance mechanisms.

Unlike artificial alkaline water products, this method relies on pure elemental interaction — no additives, no machinery, no electricity.

A Growing Hydration Movement

Today’s consumers are more informed than ever. They seek transparency, lab testing, and authenticity. With scientific validation through ICP-OES mineral testing and roots in Ayurvedic tradition, the Copper Stem Combo bridges the gap between ancient healing and modern evidence-based wellness.

Hydration is no longer passive. It is intentional.

With this copper stem and 550ml glass bottle combination, people are embracing a simple yet powerful shift — turning an everyday habit into a conscious wellness ritual.

As mindful living continues to shape lifestyle choices worldwide, one thing is clear: people are no longer just drinking water.

Delhi to Ahmedabad, 1,000 Km Apart: Dr. Sanjiv Haribhakti Performs Gujarat’s First Remote Robotic Surgery

Desk News — Mon, 16 Feb 2026 18:30:10 +0530

Ahmedabad, 14 February 2026: In a landmark achievement for Gujarat’s healthcare landscape, the state has successfully completed its first long-distance robotic tele-surgery across a distance of nearly 1,000 kilometres, connecting New Delhi and Ahmedabad in real time.

On 11th February 2026, leading GI and Robotic Surgeon Dr. Sanjiv Haribhakti, Director at Kaizen Hospital, performed a complex robotic gastrointestinal procedure while physically present in New Delhi, as the patient remained in Ahmedabad. The surgery was executed through a secure, high-speed dedicated network with real-time data transmission, while the on-site surgical and anesthesia team assisted at the bedside. The procedure was completed safely, and the patient was discharged uneventfully.

The surgery was conducted using the indigenously developed SSI Mantra 3.0, a next-generation robotic platform built to democratize access to advanced minimally invasive surgery across India. The system has already enabled more than 120 tele-robotic surgeries nationwide, with approximately 40 centers interconnected for remote surgical capability. This expanding network demonstrates robust connectivity, system stability, and clinical reliability in real-world surgical settings.

The 1,000 km surgical collaboration underscores a transformative possibility: expert surgeons can now operate across cities without requiring patient transfer. This reduces travel risks, hospital logistics, treatment delays, and overall costs — particularly crucial for critically ill patients and those in geographically distant regions.

Commenting on the breakthrough, Director at Kaizen Hospital Ahmedabad Dr. Sanjiv Haribhakti said “Covering nearly 1,000 kilometres between Delhi and Ahmedabad, this surgery proves that geography no longer needs to dictate access to advanced healthcare. For the first time in Gujarat, we have demonstrated that complex robotic GI surgery can be performed remotely with complete safety and precision. This model can significantly expand specialist access to smaller cities, enable structured tele-mentoring, and strengthen surgical training across India. It is a decisive step toward fully digitally connected operating rooms.”

In the past 20 months alone, Dr. Haribhakti has performed over 250 robotic gastrointestinal surgeries, reflecting rapid technological adoption with consistent clinical outcomes. His work emphasizes enhanced precision, reduced tissue trauma, minimal blood loss, quicker recovery times, and standardization of complex GI procedures using structured robotic techniques.

Robotic surgery has shown significant benefits for patients with inguinal hernia, hiatus hernia, gastrointestinal cancers including colorectal, oesophageal, pancreatic and liver cancers, bariatric (weight-loss) surgery, and other advanced abdominal conditions.

At Kaizen Hospital, robotic surgery is positioned as a cost-effective and patient-centric solution. The initiative is supported by Team Kaizen, comprising Dr. Sanjiv Haribhakti along with Dr. K. S. Patel, Dr. Atul J. Shah, Dr. Harshad Soni, Dr. Jayant Jhala, Dr Avadh Patel and Dr. Vidish Sheth, who collectively contribute to advancing precision GI and minimally invasive surgical care in Gujarat.

This historic 1,000 km tele-robotic surgery places Gujarat prominently on India’s advanced robotic healthcare map and signals the beginning of an era where distance will no longer be a barrier to specialized surgical expertise.

Ayurvedic Formula Developed for Cancer Patients – Dr. Harish Verma

Desk News — Mon, 16 Feb 2026 18:30:07 +0530

Ayurvedacharya Dr. Harish Verma, B.A.M.S. Gold Medalist, DNM (Canada)

New Delhi [India], February 16: Cancer is a serious and life-threatening disease, and any negligence in its treatment can prove fatal. At present, most cancer treatments involve a combination of surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation therapy, which is considered the standard cancer protocol. When cancer is localized and has not spread extensively, surgery is regarded as the primary treatment, with the objective of completely removing the tumor and preventing the spread of cancer.

Cancer cells divide very rapidly; therefore, chemotherapy is administered through drugs designed to destroy fast-growing cells. However, this treatment is often associated with side effects such as hair loss, nausea, vomiting, weakness, and reduced immunity. Radiation therapy is given after surgery to eliminate remaining cancer cells, shrink tumors, and control pain and bleeding. Common side effects of radiation include fatigue and irritation of the affected skin.

Although these treatments have achieved significant success in saving lives, patients continue to face challenges during and after treatment, including fatigue, weakness, loss of appetite, reduced immunity, mental stress, and the need for rehabilitation. This is why the concept of Integrative Oncology is rapidly gaining popularity worldwide. It combines modern medical treatment with safe supportive therapies to improve patients’ overall health and quality of life.

At a recent press conference, Ayurvedacharya Dr. Harish Verma, head of the Canadian College of Ayurveda & Yoga, announced that a special Ayurvedic formula has been developed for cancer patients based on classical Ayurvedic texts. This formulation combines two groups of medicinal herbs in specific proportions and is administered in an integrative manner.

According to Dr. Verma, this Ayurvedic formula helps maintain strength, immunity, and body weight while improving the recovery process. It also supports the reduction of chemotherapy and radiation side effects, assists in detoxification, and helps strengthen overall health and well-being.

Common Warning Signs of Cancer

Unusual and persistent changes in the body should never be ignored. Early detection greatly increases the chances of successful treatment. Seek medical advice if the following symptoms persist:

• A new lump or swelling in the body, especially in the breast, neck, armpit, or testicles

• Sudden unexplained weight loss, which may indicate problems related to the stomach, pancreas, or lungs

• Persistent weakness or extreme fatigue despite adequate rest

• Long-lasting pain that does not improve with routine treatment

• Unusual skin changes such as thickening, redness, or colour changes

• Persistent cough or coughing up blood for more than 3–4 weeks

• Unusual bleeding from stool, urine, cough, or any other site

• Non-healing wounds, especially mouth ulcers lasting more than three weeks

• Difficulty swallowing food or water

• Changes in bowel or bladder habits, which may indicate colon or bladder issues

*Importance of Nutrition During Treatment*

Light and easily digestible food is essential during chemotherapy and radiation therapy. Foods such as khichdi, lentil soup, vegetable soup, porridge, oats, coconut water, fruit smoothies, and curd rice provide energy without overburdening digestion.

To support immunity, turmeric milk, tulsi tea, ginger, black pepper, garlic, amla, and giloy are considered beneficial. Fruits and vegetables such as pomegranate, papaya, apples, carrots, beetroot, broccoli, cabbage, cauliflower, spinach, other leafy greens, and pumpkin should be included in the daily diet. Cancer and chemotherapy can weaken muscles, making adequate protein intake essential. Experts recommend eating small meals every 2–3 hours.

The integration of Ayurvedic supportive care with modern medical treatment is emerging as the future direction of cancer care, aiming to improve patients’ quality of life and ensure better rehabilitation during and after treatment. Patient Helpline: 92207-46669

Seraphic Aesthetics, Mumbai, Highlights Rise of Ethical, Patient-First Cosmetic Surgery in India

Desk News — Thu, 12 Feb 2026 17:00:23 +0530

Harshita Dagha

Navi Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], February 12: India’s aesthetic medicine landscape is undergoing a significant shift, with increasing emphasis on ethical practice, patient safety, and natural-looking outcomes.

Medical experts observe that cosmetic and reconstructive surgery is steadily moving beyond vanity-driven perceptions toward confidence-building and restorative care.

Plastic and reconstructive surgeons across the country note that awareness around aesthetic procedures has grown considerably in recent years, particularly in Tier-2 and Tier-3 cities.

However, alongside rising demand, concerns around unrealistic expectations and unregulated practices have also surfaced.

At Seraphic Aesthetics in Navi Mumbai, the focus remains on responsible consultations and informed decision-making. Dr Lukesh Patil, Plastic, Cosmetic and Reconstructive Surgeon, says the future of aesthetic medicine in India lies in transparency and patient education.

“Aesthetic surgery is not about changing identity. It is about addressing specific concerns, restoring confidence, and ensuring patients feel comfortable in their own skin,” he says.

According to medical professionals, one of the most common misconceptions is that cosmetic surgery is purely appearance driven. A substantial portion of plastic surgery practice in India involves reconstructive procedures, including post-accident repairs, burn reconstruction, correction after cancer surgeries, scar revisions, and congenital deformities.

Doctors highlight that the psychological and emotional recovery associated with reconstructive work is often underestimated. Experts suggest that ethical consultation practices, including detailed risk discussions and realistic outcome setting, are essential as social media continues to influence aesthetic choices.

“There is a visible shift in patient preferences. Many individuals now seek subtle, natural enhancements rather than dramatic transformations. The focus is increasingly on safety, evidence-based protocols, and long-term outcomes,” Dr Patil adds.

Industry observers believe that as awareness grows, the role of qualified surgeons and regulated medical environments will become even more critical in maintaining patient trust. The evolving aesthetic sector is expected to be defined by transparency, medical integrity, and patient-first care.

HAI Brings AI-Enabled Doctor-Led Portable Clinics For Doorstep Care for Children, Women and Elderly

Desk News — Thu, 12 Feb 2026 17:00:19 +0530

HAI brings AI-enabled doctor-led portable clinics for doorstep care for children, women and elderly

Bengaluru (Karnataka) [India], February 12: HAI has launched AI-enabled, doctor-led portable clinics to deliver clinic-grade healthcare at the doorstep for children, women and the elderly. Designed to bring care within 30 minutes, HAI aims to address persistent challenges in India’s healthcare system, including long OPD waiting times, traffic-related delays, fragmented care delivery and limited access to senior doctors, particularly in Tier 2, Tier 3 and underserved regions.

HAI is rethinking clinical care infrastructure through a hybrid model that combines portable “Suitcase Clinics,” micro clinics and AI-led care orchestration. Unlike conventional healthcare platforms where technology functions largely as a booking or marketplace layer, HAI embeds AI directly into care delivery. The platform supports clinical protocols, intelligent triage, specialist routing, follow-ups and longitudinal patient records, enabling consistency, quality and scalability across locations.

Founded by Satyajeet Pradhan, HAI builds on a proven healthcare delivery concept. Pradhan earlier founded Denta Mitra, which pioneered doorstep dental care using a fully equipped clinic packed into a suitcase. Through its portable clinic setup, Denta Mitra served close to one lakh patients across urban and rural India. The operational learnings, unit economics and clinical workflows from this model now form the foundation for HAI, which expands the suitcase clinic concept into a multi-specialty, family-focused healthcare platform.

Unlike traditional home healthcare companies that are manpower-led, nurse-heavy or largely post-hospital focused, HAI operates a doctor-led clinical model backed by eco-lite, sustainable infrastructure. Its portable clinics enable diagnostics, dental care, vaccinations, physiotherapy and chronic care at home. Complementing this are micro clinics, a boutique-sized facilities built with low-powered or battery-operated setups, distinct from capital-intensive, traditional clinics. This infrastructure-first approach allows HAI to scale without hospital real estate, heavy fixed capex or metro-only economics.

In essence, HAI is not a home healthcare service provider—it is doorstep clinical care infrastructure.

HAI follows a family-centric care model, addressing high-frequency and repeat healthcare needs across life stages. Its core focus areas include pediatrics (consultations, vaccinations, dental care and physiotherapy), women’s health (gynecology, prenatal and postnatal care and hormonal health), and geriatric care (orthopedic, neurological, chronic and preventive care). This integrated approach enables continuity of care for families rather than fragmented, episode-based services.

The company’s market strategy is anchored in Tier 2 and Tier 3 cities, where demand–supply gaps are widest and unit economics are strongest. Nearly 65 percent of India’s population resides outside metros, and these regions are expected to contribute the majority of long-term healthcare demand. Tier 1 cities are being developed selectively as branding, specialist and capability hubs to support surrounding underserved areas.

HAI recently launched its first micro clinic in Bhubaneswar, recording over 40 percent month-on-month growth, with more than 10 senior doctors, nurses and technicians empanelled. The company has expanded to Delhi and Gurgaon, and will launch soon in Bengaluru, Mysore and Pune.

Commenting on the launch, Satyajeet Pradhan said, “We proved with Denta Mitra that a clinic in a suitcase can work at scale. HAI builds on that foundation to deliver doctor-led, AI-orchestrated clinical care—without delays, queues or infrastructure barriers.”

Operating under the tagline Healthcare Access Instantly, HAI plans to establish over 150 micro and dark clinics across Tier 1, Tier 2 and Tier 3 cities over the next three years. In addition to on-demand doorstep and clinic consultations, HAI offers annual subscription plans for individuals, children, vaccination needs, women’s health and family care.

The AI-powered HAI app is under development; appointments are currently available via WhatsApp at 80799 00987 or www.haiclinics.com.

Jehangir Wellness Centre Expands Its Footprint in Pune with Second Centre at Viman Nagar

Desk News — Thu, 12 Feb 2026 10:30:18 +0530

Pune (Maharashtra) [India], February 11: Jehangir Wellness Centre, Pune’s premium holistic wellness destination, has expanded its footprint with the launch of a second centre in Viman Nagar, complementing its first facility at Raja Bahadur Mills. This important milestone underscores the Centre’s commitment to making integrated, preventive wellness care more accessible to individuals, families, and corporates across the city.

Built on the enduring ethos, “Don’t just be well. Stay well.”, Jehangir Wellness Centre has charted a distinctive and purposeful journey in preventive and holistic healthcare. The Centre seamlessly integrates comprehensive, medically guided health check-ups with a carefully curated range of allied therapies, addressing the three core pillars of wellness—physical, emotional, and mental well-being—within a structured and evidence-based framework.

Since its transition from the main hospital premises to Raja Bahadur Mills, the Centre has witnessed an exceptional response from both the community and corporate organisations. Operating six days a week—and often extending services to seven—the facility today caters to guests from across the city. These guests are not individuals seeking treatment for illness, but proactive, health-conscious people who believe in staying well and actively invest in their long-term well-being through regular preventive health checks and holistic therapeutic interventions.

A unit of Jehangir Hospital, the Wellness Centre was conceptualised with the vision of bringing wellness to the doorstep of Pune’s residents by combining clinical expertise with lifestyle-based interventions. The expansion to Viman Nagar is a natural progression of this philosophy, enabling the Centre to reach a wider and more diverse cross-section of the city while continuing to uphold the same standards of quality, care, and clinical governance.

Commenting on the expansion, Mr Vinod Sawantwadkar, Chief Executive Officer, Jehangir Hospital, said,“At Jehangir Wellness Centre, we do not refer to those who walk through our doors as patients; they are our guests—individuals who believe in staying well rather than waiting to fall ill. Our guests choose to take charge of their health through regular preventive health checks and allied therapies such as Zentangle, Bach flower therapy, Twin Health, yoga, pranayama, dance therapy, and more. This expansion reflects our commitment to empowering people to prioritise not only their physical health, but also their emotional and mental well-being. We urge everyone to make a conscious, lifelong commitment to holistic wellness.”

The newly launched Jehangir Wellness Centre at Viman Nagar further enhances the scope of services by introducing evening specialty OPDs, in addition to preventive health check-ups and an expanded suite of allied therapies. Thoughtfully designed to align with modern urban lifestyles and work schedules, the new centre offers greater convenience while maintaining the highest standards of medical oversight and wellness expertise.

With two centres now operational—and several more planned in the near future—Jehangir Wellness Centre continues to strengthen its role as a trusted partner in preventive healthcare, encouraging Pune’s citizens to embrace a proactive, balanced, and sustainable approach to health and holistic well-being.

Positive Mind Care & Research Centre Marks 3 Years of Service with a Free Mental Wellness Camp in Rewari

Desk News — Wed, 11 Feb 2026 15:00:33 +0530

New Delhi [India], February 10: On the occasion of its 3rd Anniversary, Positive Mind Care & Research Centre reaffirmed its commitment to mental well-being by organizing a FREE Mental Wellness Camp for the people of Rewari. The initiative was conducted with the objective of spreading awareness, breaking social stigma around mental health, and encouraging people to seek timely professional support.

The camp received an overwhelming response from residents of Rewari and nearby villages, where people from different age groups participated enthusiastically. Many individuals, especially from rural areas, came forward for the first time to openly discuss mental and emotional challenges affecting their daily lives.

Understanding Mental Health: A Growing Need

Mental health issues such as Depression, Anxiety, Stress, Addiction, OCD, Bipolar Disorder, Schizophrenia, and Autism are increasingly common but often remain unnoticed, misunderstood, or ignored. Due to lack of awareness and fear of social judgment, many individuals continue to suffer silently, which affects their personal life, family relationships, work performance, and overall quality of life.

Conditions like depression and anxiety can lead to emotional exhaustion, loss of interest, sleep disturbances, and lack of motivation. Prolonged stress and addiction can result in severe physical and psychological consequences. Disorders such as bipolar disorder and schizophrenia require early identification and professional care to ensure long-term stability and recovery. Recognizing these issues at an early stage can significantly reduce their impact and help individuals lead healthier and more balanced lives.

Key Highlights of the Camp

Mental health screenings and psychological assessments conducted in a safe, private, and confidential environment
Expert psychiatrists and mental health professionals provided one-on-one guidance and counselling
Participants received mental health awareness tips, coping strategies, and lifestyle guidance
Special focus on early detection, stress management, and emotional well-being

The doctors and counsellors emphasized that mental health is as important as physical health and encouraged people to seek help without fear or hesitation. They also addressed common myths surrounding mental illness and highlighted the importance of family and community support.

3 Years of Impact: Achievements of Positive Mind Care & Research Centre

In just three years, Positive Mind Care & Research Centre has established itself as a leading and innovative mental healthcare organisation in India, delivering measurable impact at both individual and community levels.

Key milestones achieved over the last three years include:

500+ patients successfully treated using USA FDA-approved, world’s best advanced mental health treatment – Deep TMS (Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation)
Mental health awareness created among 50,00,000+ people through camps, digital platforms, seminars, and outreach programs
100+ Free Mental Health Check-up Camps organized across various regions
50+ collaborations and MoUs with reputed Hospitals, Corporates, Universities, and Coaching Centres
10+ franchises of Positive Mind Care established to expand reach and accessibility
Launch of India’s first AI-based Digital Mental Wellness Platform, enabling large-scale mental health support through technology
Establishment of Positive Mind Academy, focused on training and developing mental health professionals to address the shortage of experts in India
Introduction of the Positive Mind Ambassador Program, aimed at scaling awareness and eliminating taboos related to mental health nationwide

These achievements underline the organisation’s commitment to science-backed treatments, technological innovation, education, and community empowerment.

A Step Towards a Healthier Society

Speaking on the occasion, the team at Positive Mind Care & Research Centre stated that community-based initiatives like this camp are essential to create a mentally aware and emotionally strong society. The positive participation and trust shown by the local population strengthened their resolve to continue such outreach programs in the future.

Together, we move towards a healthier, more aware community.

Clinical study validates Vasu Suvarnaprashan Drops for children’s overall health

Desk News — Tue, 10 Feb 2026 19:30:08 +0530

Vadodara (Gujarat) [India], February 10: Vasu Suvarnaprashan Drops have demonstrated clinically significant benefits in supporting the overall healthy development of children, as evidenced by findings from a recent independent clinical study. The research provides contemporary scientific validation for this traditional Ayurvedic formulation, which has long been used to promote child wellness.

The open label clinical study assessed the efficacy and safety of Vasu Suvarnaprashan Drops administered daily for over 90 days. Thirty-five children aged 0 to 16 participated in the study and each participant received age-appropriate doses of the drops, with outcomes assessed across growth, immunity, cognitive function, sleep quality, and physical health.

According to the study findings, children showed overall improvements across key developmental indicators, including body weight and physical well-being. Attention and concentration scores improved, as assessed through structured questionnaires, while parents reported better sleep quality among participants.

The study also observed highly encouraging results in recurrent upper respiratory tract infection episodes during the trial period, along with improvements in serum IgG and IgA levels, indicating enhanced immune response.

The formulation was found to be well tolerated across all age groups, with no adverse effects reported during the study. Compliance levels were reported as excellent. Notably, all parents reported improvements in overall growth, stamina and immunity in their children, while 97% expressed willingness to recommend the product for future use.

Hardik Ukani, Managing Director of Vasu Healthcare, makers of Vasu Suvarnaprashan Drops, said, “Suvarnaprashan has traditionally been recognised for its role in supporting immunity and cognitive development in children. This study offers modern clinical validation of an Ayurvedic practice that has been trusted for generations. The results, demonstrated through measurable clinical parameters, provide greater confidence to parents and healthcare professionals regarding its value as a supportive supplement during crucial growth years.”

“The love, blessings and positive feedback we are receiving from thousands of parents continue to inspire and strengthen us. We are also proud to share that we have recently launched our new ad film, ‘Sabko Hona Hai Grow’,” he added.

The clinical trial was conducted by an independent third party and was registered with the Clinical Trials Registry of India (CTRI). The study also received approval from an independent Ethics Committee.

Suvarnaprashan is described in Ayurveda as one of the 16 essential sanskaras for children under Jatakarma Sanskara or neonatal care. Vasu Suvarnaprashan Drops contain Suvarna Bhasma, honey, and herbal ingredients such as Vacha, Brahmi and Shankhpushpi, traditionally used to support immunity, digestion, learning ability and sleep. The formulation is designed to ensure consistent delivery of these ingredients in each dose.

Hasiru Farms Marks 77th Republic Day with 77 Kms Cyclothon at VRUKSHA Project Launch

Desk News — Sat, 07 Feb 2026 00:00:04 +0530

Bengaluru (Karnataka) [India], February 05: Hasiru Farms, a theme-based managed farmland and eco-habitat brand rooted in sustainability and cultural living, marked National Road Safety Month and India’s 77th Republic Day with a 77-kilometre Cyclothon and the official launch of its latest project, VRUKSHA – Power in Every Root.

Hasiru Farms in association with the AWF (Avanti Welfare Foundation) cycling community, the 77-km Cyclothon was flagged off from HSR Layout, Bengaluru, and concluded at the VRUKSHA project site off Kanakapura Road. The initiative brought together road safety awareness, environmental responsibility, and community-led land stewardship through an on-ground experiential movement.

Held during National Road Safety Month, the Cyclothon highlighted road discipline, safety, and sustainable modes of travel, encouraging participants to view progress as mindful and inclusive—both on roads and in life. On arrival at the project site, participants took part in a 77-tree plantation drive, with each sapling representing one year of India’s Republic.

“Road safety is about responsibility. Republic Day is about duty. VRUKSHA is about legacy. The project offers curated farmland plots within a professionally managed ecosystem, supported by long-term plantation planning, maintenance, and community-centric spaces.” said MS Akshar, Founder, MD & CEO from Hasiru Farms. “Through this initiative, we want to balance sustainability, tradition, culture, and modern living for better living”

The launch of VRUKSHA was designed as a calm, immersive experience rather than a conventional real estate event. The programme included guided walks through existing arecanut plantations, project walkthroughs, open interactions with the Hasiru Farms team, and a shared community meal. Conceived as “The Earthen Antidote,” VRUKSHA is a theme-based managed farmland project aimed at addressing urban fatigue and disconnection from nature. Planned features include Mannina Mane (mud homes) and shared areas focused on wellness, learning, and nature-led living.

About Hasiru:

World Cancer Day 2026: United by Unique: Experts Advise Why Early Diagnosis Matters

Desk News — Wed, 04 Feb 2026 00:30:21 +0530

Experts Advise Why Early Diagnosis Matters on World Cancer Day

New Delhi [India], February 03: On World Cancer Day 2026, observed under the theme “United by Unique,” medical experts across specialties are drawing attention to one of the most critical factors in cancer care—early diagnosis. While every cancer journey is shaped by unique biology, circumstances, and patient experiences, timely detection remains a shared priority that can significantly improve treatment outcomes and survival rates. Cancer affects individuals across all age groups and backgrounds, often progressing silently in its early stages. Through expert insights, this article highlights why recognising early warning signs, adopting regular screening, and seeking prompt medical consultation are essential steps in reducing the burden of cancer and delivering more personalised, patient-centred care.

1. Dr Abhijeet Singh, MBBS, MD, DNB, DM (PCCM), Senior Consultant, Department of Respiratory Medicine and Critical Care, Sharda Care Health City, Sharda University, Greater Noida

On World Cancer Day 2026, the focus remains on a crucial reality — cancer can affect individuals across all age groups, making early diagnosis essential for improving outcomes. Medical experts continue to emphasize that recognizing symptoms at an early stage significantly enhances treatment success and survival rates.

Highlighting the importance of timely intervention, Dr Abhijeet Singh, Pulmonologist at Sharda Care-Healthcity, Greater Noida, stated, “Cancer does not come with an age warning. Persistent symptoms such as chronic cough, breathlessness, unexplained weight loss, or fatigue should never be ignored, as early evaluation can be life-saving.”

Dr Singh noted that delayed diagnosis remains one of the biggest challenges, particularly in lung and thoracic cancers, where symptoms are often subtle in the early stages. “Early screening and awareness empower patients to seek care before the disease progresses,” he added.

As each patient’s cancer journey is unique, experts stress that collective awareness, regular health check-ups, and prompt medical consultation remain vital in the fight against cancer.

2. Dr Anil Kumar T, MBBS, MS, MCh, CMC Vellore; Fellowship in Minimally Access Surgery, Uro-Oncology and Robotic Surgery (UICC); Senior Consultant, Urology, Uro-Oncology and Robotic Surgery, South Mark Clinic, Bengaluru

On this World Cancer Day, Dr Anil Kumar T is reminded that cancer does not discriminate by age, gender, or background — it can touch anyone, at any stage of life. As a urologist, he says, “I see firsthand how early diagnosis can transform outcomes, turning fear into hope and uncertainty into a clear path toward recovery.”

“‘United by Unique’ reflects every patient’s individual journey,” he adds, “yet it also highlights our shared responsibility as a community of caregivers, families, and healthcare professionals to promote awareness and timely screening. Cancers of the urinary system often begin silently, but when detected early, they are highly treatable with advanced, patient-centered care.”

This World Cancer Day 2026, Dr Anil Kumar T urges people to be empowered with knowledge, to undergo regular health check-ups, and to break the stigma around discussing symptoms. “Together, through vigilance and compassion, we can save lives and strengthen the fight against cancer — one early diagnosis at a time,” he says.

3. Dr Chinnababu Sunkavalli, MS, MCh, PDCR, FIAGES; ACMO, Robotic Surgical Oncologist; Clinical Director and Founder & Global CEO, Grace Cancer Foundation, Hyderabad

On World Cancer Day 2026, Dr. Chinnababu Sunkavalli speaks not only as a cancer surgeon, but as someone who has walked closely with thousands of patients across every age group. “Cancer has no age.” He has seen it touch children just starting life and elders rich with experience. Each story is unique, but one truth remains constant—early diagnosis saves lives.

In his clinical practice and community work, he has witnessed how timely screening can turn fear into hope and suffering into survival. Unfortunately, many still reach them too late, not because treatment is unavailable, but because diagnosis was delayed by ignorance, stigma, or lack of access.

This day calls for unity—doctors, policymakers, families, and communities—to make early detection a shared responsibility. Screening must become routine, accessible, and affordable for all.

United by their unique journeys, let us fight cancer together—earlier, stronger, and with compassion.

4. Dr Gunjesh Kumar Singh, MBBS, MD, DM (Medical Oncology, Tata Memorial Hospital, Mumbai); ESMO-certified Medical Oncologist; Senior Consultant & HOD, Department of Medical Oncology, Paras Cancer Centre, Ranchi

Cancer patients are united by a unique message: “no one fights alone.” Across ages, cultures, and countries, a cancer diagnosis creates a shared journey marked by courage, resilience, and hope. Each patient’s experience is different, yet there is a deep, unspoken understanding of the strength required to face uncertainty, endure treatment, and keep believing in tomorrow.

In hospital wards, support groups, and communities, patients find connection through empathy and mutual encouragement. Their unity is reflected in small acts of kindness, shared stories, and the determination to move forward despite fear.

On World Cancer Day, this collective message reminds the world that cancer is not just a medical challenge, but a human one. By standing together—patients, survivors, caregivers, and healthcare professionals—we amplify awareness, compassion, and action. United by hope and solidarity, cancer patients inspire the world to fight for better care, early detection, and a future where no one faces cancer alone.

5. Dr Jamal Akhtar Azmi, MBBS, MS (General Surgery), MCh (Urology); Consultant Urologist, Andrologist and Uro-Oncologist, Mumbai

On World Cancer Day 2026, the spotlight remains on an important reality — cancer does not discriminate by age, and early diagnosis plays a vital role in improving survival and quality of life. Health experts continue to stress that identifying warning signs at an early stage can significantly influence treatment outcomes.

Emphasising the need for timely medical attention, Dr. Jamal Akhtar Azmi, Consultant Urologist and Uro-Oncologist, Mumbai, stated, “Cancers affecting the urinary system, including prostate, bladder, and kidney cancers, often develop silently. Symptoms such as blood in urine, difficulty in urination, persistent lower back pain, or unexplained weight loss should never be ignored, irrespective of age, as early diagnosis can be life-saving.”

Dr. Azmi noted that delayed diagnosis remains a major concern in urological cancers, as many patients seek medical help only at advanced stages. “Regular screening, awareness, and prompt evaluation of symptoms can help detect cancers earlier and improve treatment success,” he added.

With every cancer journey being unique, Dr. Azmi emphasized that increased awareness, routine health check-ups, and timely access to modern diagnostic tools remain essential in reducing delays and strengthening the fight against cancer.

6. Dr Jojo V Joseph, MS, MCh (Onco); Senior Consultant Surgical Oncologist, Caritas Cancer Institute, Kottayam, Kerala & Mission Cancer Care, IGCH, Kochi, Kerala

World Cancer Day 2026 reminds everyone of an uncomfortable truth: cancer has no age. It affects children, young adults, and the elderly alike, often striking when least expected. Assuming cancer belongs only to old age delays attention, diagnosis, and lifesaving care.

Early diagnosis remains the strongest weapon against cancer. When detected early, treatment is more effective, less aggressive, and survival rates improve. Awareness of symptoms, timely screening, and access to evidence-based medicine can transform outcomes across populations.

Yet cancer is never the same for two people. Each tumor carries unique biology, each patient a unique story, and each journey distinct challenges. Being “United by Unique” means acknowledging these differences while standing together in purpose.

World Cancer Day 2026 calls on societies, healthcare systems, and individuals to listen to warning signs, reject myths, and act early. Cancer may not respect age, but early diagnosis gives every age a fighting chance.

7. Dr Lepakshi K, MBBS, MD, DNB (Medical Oncology), ESMO (Europe); Senior Medical Oncologist, Narayana Hospital, Mysuru

World Cancer Day, observed on 4th February, is a global initiative led by the UICC to raise awareness about cancer and promote early diagnosis. Cancers diagnosed at advanced stages are harder to treat and have lower survival rates.

The 2026 theme, “United by Unique”, highlights real-world experiences, emphasizing that every cancer journey is personal while uniting the global community to advocate for compassionate, patient-centered care. Doctors play a crucial role, from detecting cancer early to guiding treatment and providing emotional support.

Awareness on warning symptoms of Common cancers are important in order to detect early include 1 )Blood cancer Symptoms- Persistent fatigue, frequent infections, unexplained bruising, or night sweats 2)Breast cancer- painless lump in the breast or underarm, thickening or swelling, skin dimpling 3)Lung cancer-A persistent cough , chest pain, shortness of breath, or coughing up blood 4)Oral cancer- Red or white patches inside the mouth, a sore that doesn’t heal, or unexplained bleeding and 5) colorectal cancers- changes in bowel habits (diarrhea or constipation), blood in the stool and unexplained weight loss. These symptoms should never be ignored.

Prevention through a healthy lifestyle, regular screenings, and vaccinations is vital. This World Cancer Day, let everyone support early diagnosis and stand united in the fight against cancer.

8. Dr Mangesh Patil, MBBS, MS (General Surgery), DNB (Genito-Urinary Surgery), MNAMS (General Surgery), Robotic Surgery Training (USA); Head of Minimal Invasive Urology & Endourology; Consultant Urologist & Robotic Uro-Oncosurgeon, Sir HN Reliance Foundation Hospital, Girgaon; Saifee Hospital; Urocare Clinic, Mumbai

World Cancer Day 2026 reminds everyone of a powerful truth: cancer has no age. It can affect children, young adults, and the elderly alike. As a urologist, Dr. Mangesh Patil often sees cancers of the prostate, kidney, and bladder being diagnosed late—not because treatment is unavailable, but because early symptoms are ignored or misunderstood.

Early diagnosis is the strongest weapon against cancer. Simple warning signs such as blood in urine, difficulty in passing urine, unexplained weight loss, or persistent pain should never be overlooked. Timely consultation, basic tests, and regular health check-ups can save lives.

The theme “United by Unique” highlights that while every patient’s journey is different, the goal is shared—detect cancer early and treat it effectively. When patients, families, doctors, and society work together, outcomes improve significantly.

On this World Cancer Day, let everyone spread awareness, remove fear, and encourage early screening—because early detection truly saves lives.

9. Dr Rajesh Bollam, MBBS, DNB, DM, MRCP (Medical Oncology); Senior Consultant Medical Oncologist & Haematologist; Director, Renova Hospital, Secunderabad

As an oncologist, Dr. Rajesh Bollam sees cancer not just as a medical diagnosis but as a deeply personal journey for every patient and family. World Cancer Day 2026, with the theme “United by Unique,” reminds everyone that while cancer affects millions, each individual’s experience, biology, and response to treatment are different and deserve personalized care.

Remarkable advances in early detection, molecular testing, targeted therapies, and immunotherapy have significantly improved outcomes. However, timely diagnosis and equitable access to these advances remain a challenge, especially in developing countries. Awareness, screening, and patient education are as important as the most advanced drugs.

Effective cancer care goes beyond protocols and guidelines—it requires empathy, communication, and trust. Listening to patients, understanding their fears, and tailoring treatment to their clinical and personal needs are central to meaningful care.

On this World Cancer Day, let everyone strengthen the collective resolve to promote early detection, reduce stigma, and deliver compassionate, individualized cancer care—because respecting each unique story is the strongest way to stand united against cancer.

10. Dr Shweta Bansal, Secretary, Pediatric Hematology Oncology (PHO) Chapter, Indian Academy of Pediatrics; HOD, Pediatric Hemato-Oncologist & BMT Physician, Sir HN Reliance Foundation Hospital Research Center, Girgaon, Mumbai

Dr. Shweta Bansal asks, “What is our ‘why’ in the fight against childhood cancer?” When her patient, a little boy diagnosed with blood cancer, began his journey, the disease took away his childhood but gave him a voice. Years later, he wrote in A Man’s Story, “Cancer changed my childhood, but it gave me my purpose.” His words remind everyone that behind every diagnosis lies a child, a family, and a future hanging in delicate balance.

Each year, more than 400,000 children worldwide—and nearly 50,000 in India—are diagnosed with cancer. While survival now exceeds 80% in high-income countries, many children in low- and middle-income nations are still lost, not because cures do not exist, but because access, awareness, and systems fail them. This World Cancer Day must mark a shift from sympathy to solutions.

As Secretary of the Pediatric Hematology Oncology Chapter of the Indian Academy of Pediatrics, Dr. Bansal believes the “why” must become action—early diagnosis, strong shared-care networks, multidisciplinary teams, and policy support—so that every child’s story ends not just in survival, but in a full life lived with dignity and hope.

Why More Women Get Cancer in India – But More Men Die

Desk News — Wed, 04 Feb 2026 00:30:05 +0530

Bengaluru (Karnataka) [India], February 03: Cancer is a growing public health challenge in India, affecting millions of families every year. Recent data from the Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR) reveal a notable paradox: women in India report a slightly higher incidence of cancer, yet men experience a greater share of cancer deaths. Dr Niti Krishna Raizada, Principal Director – Medical Oncology & Hemato Oncology at Fortis Group of Hospitals, Bangalore explained, “Understanding this pattern is essential to designing effective prevention, early detection, and treatment strategies”.

Between 2015 and 2019, analysis of more than 700,000 cancer cases suggests that women accounted for just over 50 % of new cancer diagnoses, compared to about 49 % in men. However, men constituted around 55 % of cancer-related deaths, whereas women accounted for approximately 45 %.

Dr Niti added, “The types of cancers that predominate among women and men help explain this disparity”. Among women, breast cancer is the most frequently diagnosed, followed by cervical and ovarian cancers. These cancers, while serious, are often responsive to early detection and treatment. In contrast,\men more commonly develop oral, lung, and prostate cancers, which are closely linked to high-risk behaviours like tobacco and alcohol use and often present at later, more advanced stages, leading to poorer outcomes.

This gender gap in mortality reflects deeper issues in healthcare access and health behaviour. Men may be less likely to seek medical care early, leading to delayed diagnoses. Additionally, risk factors like smoking, heavy alcohol use, and occupational exposures are more prevalent among Indian men, increasing both the incidence and lethality of certain cancers.

For women, although incidence is higher, early detection through organized screening and awareness — especially for breast and cervical cancers — has helped improve outcomes and reduce mortality. Furthermore, increased health-seeking behaviour among many women for reproductive health may translate into earlier opportunities to detect cancer says Dr Niti.

To reduce the cancer burden for both genders, multi-pronged action is needed:

Strengthen screening programs for breast, cervical, oral, and lung cancers, ensuring they reach rural and underserved communities.
Promote tobacco and alcohol cessation through public health campaigns and policy measures, including higher taxes and stricter advertising restrictions.
Expand vaccination against human papillomavirus (HPV) to prevent cervical cancer.
Increase public awareness about warning signs — such as persistent lumps, unexplained weight loss, changes in bowel or bladder habits, and unusual bleeding — to encourage early medical consultation.
Improve healthcare access and follow-up care, especially for men, who often present at later stages.

Cancer is not a single disease but a collection of conditions shaped by biology, behaviour, environment, and healthcare access. World Cancer Day 2026, observed on February 4, reinforces the global commitment to closing care gaps in cancer prevention and treatment. It emphasizes equity, early diagnosis, and access to quality care, reminding India that timely action, awareness, and gender-sensitive strategies are crucial to reducing cancer incidence and mortality.

Life Beyond Injury: Nishant Khade Marks 25 Years of Resilience, Gratitude and Possibility

Desk News — Thu, 29 Jan 2026 20:30:07 +0530

Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], January 29: Nishant Khade marked a deeply personal milestone – he celebrated 25 years of life after a spinal cord injury at a commemorative gathering for the community of wheelchair users titled Will on Wheelz, held on January 25, 2026, at Courtyard by Marriott, Nerul.

Conceived and organised by Nishant himself, Will on Wheelz was envisioned as both a celebration and a gesture of gratitude, a heartfelt thank-you to the people who stood by him after his accident and became part of his journey of healing, rebuilding, and growth. Close family members, friends, doctors, therapists, mentors, and members of the disability ecosystem came together to honour a journey shaped by resilience and community.

Sharing his perspective on the significance of the gathering, Nishant said,

“Will on Wheelz is my way of saying thank you and of reminding others that life doesn’t stop after injury, it evolves. Being on a wheelchair changed how I move through the world, but it didn’t take away my ability to dream, to contribute, or to live meaningfully.”

Mr. Nishant Khade at his 25 years of Will on Wheelz event

In 2001, at the young age of 23, Nishant sustained a spinal cord injury that placed him on a wheelchair and altered the course of his life. What followed, however, was not an end, but a transition; one that demanded not only medical care, but emotional strength, sustained rehabilitation, and long-term support.

A pivotal role in this journey was played by Nina Foundation, which supported Nishant during the most critical phase after his accident. The Foundation provided structured rehabilitation guidance, emotional reassurance, and access to resources that helped him navigate the uncertainty of life after injury. Its holistic approach focusing not just on physical recovery but also on dignity, confidence, and independence, proved instrumental in Nishant’s long-term rehabilitation.

Dr. Ketna Mehta from Nina Foundation emphasised the importance of sustained, people-centric rehabilitation, stating,

“Nishant’s journey reflects what is possible when medical care is combined with emotional support and long-term rehabilitation. At Nina Foundation, our focus has always been to help individuals move beyond survival to regain confidence, independence, and a sense of control over their lives.”

The morning opened with a welcome address, followed by an audio-visual film chronicling Nishant’s life before the accident and the 25-year journey that followed, capturing moments of struggle, resilience, humour, and growth. Nishant then addressed the audience, sharing reflections on acceptance, choice, and redefining purpose after injury.

“This journey has taught me that acceptance is not about giving up, but about choosing to move forward with intention. Life after injury isn’t about going back to who you were; it’s about discovering who you can still become. Purpose doesn’t disappear; it simply takes a new shape when you choose to build again, every single day,” he said.

A panel discussion on spinal cord injury followed, featuring Dr. Ketna Mehta, Shivjeet Singh Raghav, Shri Arvind Ramesh Prabhoo, Dr. Pravin R. Amin, and Nishant Khade, bringing together medical expertise, rehabilitation insight, mentorship, and lived experience to discuss recovery, resilience, and inclusion.

The event also spotlighted Access4All Foundation, a social initiative co-founded by Nishant Khade and Arvind Prabhoo. Born out of their own lived experiences as wheelchair users, Access4All addresses the lack of accessible public transport by providing specially modified wheelchair-friendly vans and trained support staff to ensure safe, dignified, and hassle-free travel for persons with disabilities. The Foundation also offers consultancy for disability-inclusive infrastructure development, working to create more accessible urban spaces.

In addition, the gathering highlighted Nishant and Arvind Prabhoo’s pan-India initiative, Beyond the Barrier – a cross-country journey undertaken on a wheelchair to challenge perceptions around disability, accessibility, and independence. The initiative stands as a testament to the belief that physical limitations need not restrict ambition, exploration, or purpose.

The event concluded with a felicitation ceremony honouring the doctors, therapists, mentors, and supporters who played pivotal roles in Nishant’s journey, followed by a closing note of gratitude.

As Nishant marks 25 years on a wheelchair through Will on Wheelz, the event served as a powerful reminder that recovery after spinal cord injury is never a solitary effort. With committed institutions like Nina Foundation, solution-driven initiatives like Access4All Foundation, dedicated medical professionals, and strong personal networks, life beyond injury is not only possible; it can be purposeful, dignified, and extraordinary.

The aircraft had six people on board, including four passengers and two crew members; of these, two passengers, husband and wife, both 49-yrs-old, suffered multiple, complex and were initially rushed to a local trauma centre for emergency management following the crash in Rourkela. The injuries in aircraft-related trauma may be complex, multi-layered, and often not immediately apparent; hence, the condition of the couple was closely monitored.

The medical team in Rourkela consulted with Dr Sachin Bhonsle, Senior Consultant – Orthopaedics & Joint Replacement Surgery at Fortis Hospital Mulund, Mumbai. After careful analysis of their scans and clinical status, decision to stabilize the patients locally before transferring them to Mumbai was made. Once their vitals stabilized, the couple was airlifted to Fortis Hospital Mulund, Mumbai, in an air ambulance on January 11, 2026. The family chose Fortis Hospital Mulund for its expertise in comprehensive trauma care and for the credibility it holds in managing complex cases through a multidisciplinary approach.

Upon arrival at Fortis Hospital Mulund on January 11, 2026, the couple was assessed by the trauma team led by Dr Sachin Bhonsle. While Sabita was in immediate need of surgical intervention for her right femur fracture, along with her associated pelvic and spine injuries, her husband, Sunil, needed urgent reconstruction of the right knee. This coordinated management strategy also involved Spine Care, where Dr Vikas Gupte, Senior Consultant – Spine Surgery, addressed the spine-related trauma; proving critical to the patient’s recovery.

Sharing their experience, Mr. Sunil Agarwal and Mrs. Sabita Agarwal said, “When the crash happened we were unsure if we would survive. When we reached Fortis Mulund, the medical team immediately took control; within 30 minutes the pain was managed and we felt reassured. What we experienced was not just advanced and well-equipped medical care, but compassion from the entire team of doctors, nurses, administrative staff and support staff that helped us overcome the immense physical and mental trauma.”

In the days that followed surgery, both patients showed slow but consistent improvement. Their recovery was supported by structured pain management, intensive physiotherapy, specialised nursing care, nutritional support, and trauma counselling. Care teams monitored their progress closely, ensuring rehabilitation to moved forward safely and without complications.

While speaking on the outcome, Dr Vishal Beri, Facility Director, Fortis Hospital Mulund, Mumbai, said, “The couple was under our care for 10 days, in which they received comprehensive trauma care, rehabilitation and supportive care. Today they are stable and ready to go back home to Bhubaneswar. What is most significant is that the couple gets a chance to celebrate their 28th anniversary today, at home, with their family and friends.”

Both patients are now stable and recovering well, although they are not entirely mobile at this point. They have been given clearance for transfer and shall receive further follow-up treatment near their hometown of Bhubaneswar.

How to Stop Hair Fall in Winter: Real Reasons, Real Fixes, No Nonsense

Desk News — Fri, 23 Jan 2026 21:30:13 +0530

New Delhi [India], January 23: Winter hair fall isn’t mysterious. It’s not “seasonal shedding” in the poetic sense, and it’s definitely not your body “detoxing” or whatever Instagram decided this year. It’s dryness. It’s friction. It’s neglect dressed up as bad luck. That’s the reality, and it’s been the same for decades.

Cold air outside, overheated rooms inside. Zero humidity anywhere. Your scalp tightens up like cheap leather. Oil production drops. The skin barrier weakens. Hair follicles don’t enjoy living in a hostile climate, so they shed faster. Not dramatically. Just enough to scare you when the shower drain starts looking like a crime scene. And yeah, it always feels personal.

People love to blame shampoo first. Wrong instinct, usually. The bigger issue is how you’re washing. Hot water. Too frequent. Too aggressive. Winter scalps don’t want to be scrubbed into submission. They want to be left alone more than you think. Stripping away what little oil your scalp manages to produce in January is a fast track to irritation, flaking, and breakage that looks like hair fall but isn’t technically shedding. Semantics don’t help when it’s your hair on the floor, I know.

And then there’s friction, which no one wants to talk about because it’s boring. Scarves. Coats. High collars. Beanies are worn for eight hours straight because it’s freezing, and you’ve given up. Hair rubbing against wool all day doesn’t age gracefully. It snaps. It thins at the nape. You lose density exactly where you don’t want to. This isn’t biology, it’s physics.

Diet slips in winter. That’s not a moral failure, it’s just what happens. Less fresh food. More beige food. Fewer micronutrients, less protein, and iron intake are quietly dropping while no one’s paying attention. Hair is low priority tissue. The body doesn’t negotiate. If resources are limited, hair loses. Always has. Always will.

Hydration gets sloppy, too. You’re not thirsty. You’re cold. You forget. Scalp dries out further. Hair fibre loses flexibility. Breakage increases. Again, it’s not dramatic. It’s cumulative. Most hair problems are.

Stress doesn’t help, but not in the Instagram way. It’s not “relax, and your hair will grow.” That’s nonsense. Stress shifts hair cycles with a delay. By the time shedding shows up, the stressor’s already old news. So people panic, change ten products, and irritate their scalp even more. Classic.

Oils and masks can help, but only if you’re not using them like a ritual to feel productive. Light application. Infrequent. Scalp-focused, not hair-length worship. Overdoing it clogs follicles and causes inflammation, which defeats the purpose. This is where restraint matters, and most people don’t like hearing that.

Product hopping is another quiet problem. Switching shampoos every few weeks because “nothing’s working” keeps the scalp in a constant state of adjustment. Hair grows slowly. Painfully slowly. Anyone promising fast winter hair recovery is lying or selling something.

And look—sometimes winter just exposes underlying issues. Low ferritin. Thyroid imbalances. Chronic stress you’ve been pretending isn’t chronic. Winter doesn’t cause those problems; it just removes the buffer. If hair fall is sudden, aggressive, or paired with other symptoms, that’s not seasonal anything. That’s your cue to stop diagnosing yourself via late-night searches.

There’s no dramatic fix here. No comeback montage. Winter hair fall is managed, not conquered. Reduce damage. Maintain moisture. Eat like a functioning adult most of the time. Be less violent with your scalp. Stick to a routine long enough for biology to catch up.

That’s it. That’s the reality. It’s not inspiring, but it’s accurate.

Why Medical Expenses Are the New Financial Emergency for Indian Families?

Desk News — Fri, 23 Jan 2026 21:30:06 +0530

New Delhi [India], January 23: In India, nearly 39.4% of healthcare spending is paid out of pocket, placing a direct financial burden on households. As healthcare costs rise nationwide, medical expenses are increasingly emerging as a financial emergency for Indian families. Higher hospital charges, costly diagnostics, and longer treatment durations have reduced predictability in medical spending across income groups and regions.

The Sharp Rise in Medical Inflation

Healthcare inflation in India has consistently remained well above general inflation levels, adding sustained pressure on household finances. In India, medical costs are estimated to be rising at an annual rate of approximately 14%, which is the highest among the asian countries. High-cost treatments for cancer, cardiac care, and trauma cases, along with rising prices for diagnostics, medicines, and routine outpatient services, are contributing to medical inflation.

Why Insurance is Not Enough?

Health insurance plays an important role in reducing healthcare-related financial risk in India, but it does not always cover the full cost of treatment. While insurance penetration has improved in recent years, coverage limits, sub-limits, and policy exclusions can result in partial reimbursements during high-cost hospitalisations. Expenses related to intensive care, consumables, implants, and post-discharge treatment may still require out-of-pocket payments, contributing to the financial gap families face during major medical events.

The Middle-Class Financial Strain

Sudden medical emergencies frequently place middle-class households under acute financial stress. With limited liquid savings earmarked for healthcare, families often turn to borrowing or asset sales to manage hospital bills. Medical migration from smaller towns to healthcare hubs such as Delhi, Mumbai, and Chennai further adds to the financial burden. These coping mechanisms can lead to long-term instability, affecting household finances well beyond the immediate medical crisis.

Hidden Costs Most Families Don’t Expect

Beyond hospital bills, indirect and non-medical expenses significantly increase the overall cost of treatment. Emergency diagnostics, repeated scans, medicines purchased outside hospital packages, and follow-up consultations often accumulate over time. Travel, accommodation, and daily living expenses for caregivers further add to the burden, particularly when treatment requires relocation. In many cases, the loss of income for family members providing care compounds financial stress, making these hidden medical expenses a major but under-recognised challenge.

How Families Are Responding to This New Reality

In response to rising healthcare costs, families are increasingly prioritising health-related financial planning and emergency preparedness. Community support networks continue to play an important role during medical crises, especially in smaller towns. Some families also turn to medical crowdfunding platforms in India, such as ImpactGuru, during high-cost emergencies, reflecting changing social and financial coping patterns.

The Larger Social and Economic Impact

Rising medical expenses are contributing to sustained financial stress across Indian households. Unexpected healthcare costs often disrupt savings, education planning, and long-term financial security, affecting both urban and rural populations. As medical inflation continues to outpace income growth, healthcare affordability is emerging as a significant socio-economic challenge with wide-reaching implications.

Conclusion

Medical expenses have become one of the most significant financial emergencies facing Indian families today. Rising healthcare inflation, insurance gaps, and unplanned indirect costs underscore the need for greater awareness, early preparedness, and sustained attention to healthcare affordability across India.

Sterling Hospitals achieves milestone with complex Robotic Whipple Surgery

Desk News — Wed, 21 Jan 2026 10:30:04 +0530

Ahmedabad (Gujarat) [India], January 21: Sterling Hospitals, Ahmedabad, has successfully performed a highly complex Robotic Whipple Surgery, marking a significant advancement in minimally invasive pancreatic cancer treatment. Led by renowned Robotic Surgeon Dr. Nitin Singhal and his team, the procedure offered new hope to a 55-year-old female patient from Anand district, Gujarat.

The patient presented with persistent jaundice, fever with chills, and intermittent pain over several months. Initially suspected to be gallstones, thorough diagnostics revealed an ampullary mass with pancreatic involvement. A biopsy confirmed malignancy, prompting bile duct stenting for jaundice relief. After consulting multiple doctors locally – who deemed open surgery risky due to anatomical challenges involving a critical vein from the heart to the liver – the family sought advanced care at Sterling Hospitals following social media recommendations.

Dr. Nitin Singhal, Consultant Robotic Onco-surgeon, Sterling Hospitals, explained, “This was an extremely challenging case requiring utmost precision. The tumour’s location demanded careful preservation of vital vascular structures to avoid life-threatening complications. We had recommended robotic-assisted surgery for its superior accuracy, minimal invasiveness, and enhanced recovery profile.”

The intricate Robotic Whipple procedure lasted 8-10 hours. Utilizing cutting-edge robotic technology, the team meticulously removed the tumour while preserving the essential vein, reconstructing digestive organs, and ensuring no internal leakage. Only a six-centimetre incision was required, resulting in negligible blood loss, no need for painkillers, and virtually scar-less outcomes.

The surgery‘s complexity lies in its technical demands which involves precise organ reconnection, management of anatomical variations, and liver preservation. Sterling Hospital’s expertise ensured a seamless execution.

Post-operatively, the patient’s recovery was remarkable. She required no prolonged ICU stay, resumed normal oral intake swiftly, and was discharged in stable condition – just 12 days after surgery, with impressive mobility and minimal discomfort.

Mr Santosh Marathe, MD & CEO Sterling Hospitals said that this procedure represents the first such complex Robotic Whipple at Sterling Hospitals, underscoring the institution’s pioneering role in robotic oncology. Sterling Hospitals comprehensive Oncology services at 3 locations in Gujarat envisions a future where robotic assistance becomes standard for complex surgeries, including those for lung and liver cancers, offering patients precision, reduced pain, and faster returns to normal life.

Rare Case of 30+ Multiple Lipomas in Mumbai Treated at Recon Plastic Surgery & Physiotherapy Clinic, Mumbai

Desk News — Mon, 19 Jan 2026 19:30:08 +0530

Dr. Vishal Patel & Dr. Aparna Patel – Founders of Recon Plastic Surgery & Physiotherapy Clinic, Mumbai

Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], January 19: In a remarkable medical achievement, Recon Plastic Surgery & Physiotherapy Clinic in Mumbai, has successfully treated a rare and complex case of multiple lipomas in a single patient. The patient was suffering from more than 30+ multiple lipomas across different parts of the body. The Lipoma removal surgery was performed under the expert leadership of Dr. Vishal Patel, renowned lipoma specialist in Mumbai. This event marks yet another milestone in advanced lipoma surgeries being done in Mumbai.

Full Case Background – A Problem That Kept Growing

The patient was an adult male from Goregaon East, Mumbai. He first noticed a few small lipomas several years ago. At that time, they were painless, small, and did not interfere much with his daily life. However, over the years, the number of lipomas gradually increased and many of them also started growing in size. Some began to cause visible bulges, discomfort, and cosmetic concern, especially on exposed areas of the body. Until, this year 2026, he had total 30+ lipomas on all over his body.

Multiple Lipomas on hand in Mumbai, India

Out of these 30+ lipomas, 8-9 Lipomas were on hands & forearms, 6-7 Lipomas on abdomen, 2-3 Lipomas on neck backside & remaining few Lipomas on stomach. Above is photo of his forearm with multiple lipomas marked in circles.

Initially, the patient had tried Ayurvedic treatment for Lipoma in Mumbai last year. He hoped that he can avoid Lipoma surgery. Unfortunately, despite months of treatment, there was no improvement in either the size or the number of lipomas. In fact, a few new ones continued to appear, which increased his anxiety and discomfort.

Finally, to get a permanent & reliable treatment for Lipoma in Mumbai, he visited Dr. Vishal Patel at his Recon Plastic Surgery & Physiotherapy Clinic, Mumbai. After a detailed clinical examination and evaluation, the patient was diagnosed as a case of Multiple Lipomatosis in Mumbai (Multiple Lipomas) and was advised planned surgical removal for long-term relief by Dr. Vishal Patel.

The Surgery Day – Complete Removal of 30+ Lipomas

On the day of his Lipoma removal surgery in Mumbai, the patient was taken to the operation theatre at Recon Plastic Surgery & Physiotherapy Clinic. Since more than 30 lipomas had to be removed from different parts of the body, the surgery was planned under general anesthesia for maximum comfort and safety.

The procedure was actually performed by Dr. Vishal Patel (Lipoma Specialist in Mumbai) using the lipoma excision technique and took approximately 3 hours to safely and completely remove all the lipomas.

A team medical staff continuously monitored the patient’s vitals throughout the surgery. The operation was carried out in an advanced Operation theatre setup at Recon Plastic Surgery & Physiotherapy Clinic, Malad, Mumbai which ensures high safety standards and precision.

After the surgery, the patient experienced mild pain and discomfort, which is normal in such extensive procedures. He was given appropriate pain-relief medications and antibiotics by Dr. Vishal Patel to keep him comfortable and to support healing. At the end of day, this rare surgery of removing 30+ multiple Lipomas in Mumbai was declared successful.

Post-surgery, the patient was advised to start physiotherapy under the guidance of Dr. Aparna Patel, a trusted physiotherapist in Goregaon at Recon Plastic Surgery & Physiotherapy Clinic, Mumbai. The physiotherapy was advised so as to reduce the stiffness & tightness in the areas operated.

What Dr. Vishal Patel has to say about Multiple Lipoma Surgery?

Speaking about the case, Dr. Vishal Patel said, “While lipomas are usually harmless, cases with multiple lipomas require careful surgical expertise, planning, and execution. Our goal is not only to remove the tumors completely but also to ensure minimal scarring, faster recovery, and the best possible aesthetic outcome for the patient. This case of 30+ Lipoma removal in Mumbai demonstrates how advanced lipoma surgery in Mumbai can significantly improve a patient’s quality of life.”

Shockwave Therapy in Pune: Advanced European-Standard Treatment for Men’s Andrology Problems

Desk News — Thu, 15 Jan 2026 18:00:16 +0530

Wakad (Maharashtra) [India], January 15: Men’s sexual and reproductive health issues are far more common than many people realise. Problems like erectile dysfunction, sexual weakness, premature ejaculation, and chronic pelvic pain affect not only physical health but also confidence, relationships, and overall quality of life. The good news is that modern medical science now offers safe, non-surgical, and effective solutions. Leela Superspeciality Hospital, Wakad proudly introduces the first European-standard approved Shockwave Therapy machine in West India, bringing world-class andrology care closer to patients in Pune and PCMC. This advanced treatment is offered under the expert guidance of Dr. Akhil S Mane – Best Andrologist in Pune with 17+ years of experience.

What Is Shockwave Therapy?

Shockwave Therapy, also known as Low-Intensity Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy (LI-ESWT), is a non-invasive, painless medical treatment that uses low-energy sound waves to stimulate healing and improve blood circulation in targeted areas. Originally used in orthopaedics and cardiology, shockwave technology has now shown excellent results in andrology, especially for men suffering from erectile dysfunction and other sexual health issues. Unlike medicines that offer temporary relief, shockwave therapy works at the root cause by improving natural blood flow, nerve regeneration, and tissue repair.

First European-Standard Shockwave Therapy in West India

Leela Superspeciality Hospital, Wakad, is among the very first centres in West India to introduce a European-standard approved Shockwave Therapy machine.

What makes this technology special?

Certified and approved as per European medical standards
Delivers precise, controlled, and safe shockwaves
Proven clinical effectiveness
Minimal to no side effects
Suitable for long-term results

This advanced technology, combined with the expertise of Dr. Akhil S Mane, ensures safe, ethical, and evidence-based treatment for men’s health problems.

What Is Shockwave Therapy?

Shockwave therapy, also known as extracorporeal shock wave therapy (ESWT), is a modern, non-surgical treatment that uses high-energy acoustic waves to heal the body. Unlike what the name might suggest, it does not involve electric shocks. Instead, it sends “pressure waves” to specific areas of the body to trigger the natural healing process.

Originally used to break down kidney stones, this technology has evolved. Today, it is a revolutionary shockwave treatment in Pune for treating chronic pain and male sexual health issues without the need for pills or surgery.

Shockwave Therapy Used for Andrology Problems

1) Erectile Dysfunction (ED) & Sexual Weakness

Erectile dysfunction is one of the most common male sexual health problems, especially in:

Men above 35–40 years
Diabetic patients
Patients with high blood pressure
Smokers and those with lifestyle stress

Shockwave Therapy helps by:

Improving blood flow to the penis
Stimulating new blood vessel formation
Enhancing nerve sensitivity
Restoring natural erectile function

2. Peyronie’s Disease (Penile Curvature)

Peyronie’s disease occurs due to fibrous plaque formation in the penis, leading to:

Penile curvature
Pain during erection
Difficulty in sexual activity

Shockwave Therapy helps by:

Softening fibrous plaques
Reducing penile pain
Improving curvature over time
Avoiding or delaying the need for surgery

This makes it an excellent non-surgical treatment option for selected patients.

3. Premature Ejaculation

Premature ejaculation can be emotionally distressing and often affects marital and sexual satisfaction.

Shockwave Therapy may help by:

Improving nerve regulation
Enhancing penile tissue health
Improving control and sensitivity

When combined with medical guidance and lifestyle modification, many patients experience better control and improved sexual confidence.

4. Chronic Prostatitis & Chronic Pelvic Pain

Chronic prostatitis and pelvic pain syndrome can cause:

Persistent pain in the pelvic region
Pain during urination or ejaculation
Sexual dysfunction
Reduced quality of life

Shockwave Therapy helps by:

Improving blood circulation
Reducing inflammation
Relaxing pelvic muscles
Providing long-term pain relief

Many patients who do not respond well to medicines find significant improvement with shockwave therapy.

Benefits of Shockwave Therapy

Choosing electrical shock wave therapy (acoustic wave therapy) offers several advantages over traditional medication or surgery:

Non-Invasive: No needles, no incisions, and no anesthesia required.
No Medication Needed: A great alternative for those who don’t want to rely on daily pills.
Quick Sessions: Most treatments take only 15 to 20 minutes.
Zero Downtime: You can return to your daily activities immediately after the session.
Long-Lasting Results: It treats the root cause of the problem, not just the symptoms.

Is Shockwave Therapy Painful?

Most patients describe the sensation as a “light pulsing” or “tapping” feeling. It is generally not painful. However, depending on the sensitivity of the area being treated, you might feel slight discomfort. The intensity of the shockwave operation in Pune at our clinic can be adjusted based on your comfort level.

Who Can Benefit from Shockwave Therapy?

Men with mild to moderate erectile dysfunction
Diabetic patients with ED
Patients not responding well to medicines
Men seeking non-surgical solutions
Patients with Peyronie’s disease or chronic pelvic pain

A proper consultation with Dr. Akhil S Mane helps determine if shockwave therapy is right for you.

Why Choose Dr. Akhil Mane for Shockwave Therapy in Pune?

When it comes to specialized treatments, the expertise of the doctor matters most.

Expertise: Akhil Mane is a highly skilled Uro Robotic Surgeon with a deep understanding of male anatomy and restorative medicine.
Experience: With over 12+ years of experience, he has successfully treated thousands of patients.

KaizenCon 2026 Heralds a New Era in Robotic GI Surgery with the Launch of Dr. Sanjiv Haribhakti’s Atlas of Robotic GI Surgery (HARGiS)

Desk News — Thu, 15 Jan 2026 18:00:06 +0530

Ahmedabad (Gujarat) [India], January 15: Kaizen Hospital, Ahmedabad successfully hosted KaizenCon 2026, a landmark National Conference on Advanced Surgical Innovation, bringing together leading surgeons, academicians, and healthcare thought leaders from over 40 cities across India. The conference emerged as a powerful platform for clinical excellence, knowledge exchange, and technological advancement in surgery, with the launch of “Dr. Sanjiv Haribhakti’s Atlas of Robotic GI Surgery (HARGiS) using SSI Mantra” as its defining highlight.

India performs an estimated 3 crore (30 million) surgeries annually across all specialties, yet experts estimate that nearly 5.1 crore (51 million) surgeries are required each year to meet the nation’s growing healthcare needs—highlighting a significant capacity gap. General surgery remains the most dominant specialty, accounting for nearly 26% of all surgical procedures, while robotic GI surgery is rapidly expanding at a CAGR of 18%. In 2022 alone, approximately 2.88 million endoscopy procedures were performed in India, reflecting the rising burden of gastrointestinal disorders and the growing need for advanced, minimally invasive solutions.

Speaking on the occasion, Dr. Sanjiv Haribhakti, Director, Kaizen Hospital, Ahmedabad, and Conference President, said,“KaizenCon 2026 was envisioned as a national movement to bridge technology, skill, and compassion in surgery. The launch of HARGiS represents a step towards creating a standardized, globally accessible learning ecosystem for robotic GI surgery.

Medical Trailblazer Dr. Praveen Pushkar Launches ‘DocLogbook’ to Revolutionize Clinical Record-Keeping

Desk News — Thu, 15 Jan 2026 11:30:06 +0530

New Delhi [India], January 15: In the high-stakes world of robotic surgery and kidney transplants, precision is everything. For Dr. Praveen Pushkar, a renowned Urologist and Transplant Surgeon, this pursuit of precision has extended beyond the operating theater and into the digital palms of thousands of doctors worldwide.

Dr. Pushkar, currently the Senior Consultant and Head of Urology at Medicant Hospital & Research Centre, is the visionary founder behind DocLogbook, a revolutionary digital platform designed to solve a problem that has plagued the medical profession for decades: the chaotic, manual tracking of clinical experience.

A Global Journey of Excellence

Dr. Pushkar’s journey is one of global academic rigor and elite surgical practice. An alumnus of the prestigious Government Medical College, Thrissur, and Patna Medical College, he holds an MCh from the University of Edinburgh and is a Fellow of the Royal College of Surgeons (MRCS, Edinburgh).

Before settling in Bokaro to provide world-class urological care to the region, Dr. Pushkar served as a Consultant for the National Health Service (NHS) in the United Kingdom, where he refined his expertise in oncology and advanced surgical protocols. His resume reads like a directory of India’s top healthcare institutions, with tenures at Indraprastha Apollo Hospital, Sir Gangaram Hospital, and Asian Institute of Medical Sciences. Having participated in over 500 kidney transplants and performed more than 20,000 urological surgeries, Dr. Pushkar realized that while medical technology was advancing at light speed, the way doctors recorded their “surgical legacy” remained stuck in the era of paper and ink.

The Birth of DocLogbook

“A surgeon’s hands perform the miracle, but their data builds their career,” says Dr. Pushkar. This philosophy led to the creation of DocLogbook App (www.doclogbook.com), the first digital logbook and CV manager built exclusively for medical professionals, available both on Google Play Store and Apple Store.

For years, residents and consultants relied on physical diaries to track cases—books that were easily lost, difficult to audit, and nearly impossible to organize for career advancement. DocLogbook changes the narrative by offering a secure, “mobile-first” platform where doctors can log surgeries, OPD consultations, and IPD records in seconds.

More Than Just a Record

The app is not merely a digital diary; it is a comprehensive career management suite. Key features include:

●One-Tap Audits: Doctors can instantly generate professional reports for board certifications or hospital audits.

●Dynamic CV Builder: The platform automatically syncs logged cases into a polished, exportable professional profile.

●Surgical-Grade Security: Utilizing zero-knowledge architecture and end-to-end encryption, the app ensures that sensitive patient data remains private and compliant with medical ethics.

●Financial Tracking: A built-in dashboard allows private practitioners to monitor billed and pending payments, bringing business clarity to clinical practice.

A Digital Revolution in Medicine

Since its launch, DocLogbook has seen a meteoric rise, recently crossing the 1,000+ download milestone in record time. It has become a staple for everyone from medical students tracking their first scrub-ins to senior consultants managing complex robotic cases.

As Dr. Pushkar continues to lead advance urology surgeries at Medicant Hospital, his digital “brainchild” is ensuring that the next generation of doctors can spend less time on paperwork and more time on patient care.

“We want every doctor to have their entire practice in their pocket,” Dr. Pushkar concludes. “By digitizing the logbook, we aren’t just saving time; we are helping doctors own their clinical data and secure their professional future.”

Sterling Hospitals Successfully Treats Rare and Fatal Paraquat Poisoning Case, 30 Year Old Man Survives

Desk News — Tue, 13 Jan 2026 20:30:08 +0530

Ahmedabad (Gujarat) [India], January 13: A 30 year old man who consumed Paraquat, one of the most dangerous and highly toxic pesticides, has survived against all odds after receiving timely and advanced medical treatment at Sterling Hospitals in Ahmedabad. The case, described by doctors as extremely critical, stands as a strong example of how prompt intervention and expert care can save lives even in the most severe poisoning cases.

According to Dr Tapan Shah, Physician & Diabetologist at Sterling Hospitals, Ahmedabad: “Paraquat is among the deadliest poisons, with even a small quantity capable of causing irreversible damage to vital organs. Once ingested, it rapidly affects the liver, kidneys and lungs, often leading to multi organ failure. In many instances, the chances of survival are very low.”

The patient, a resident of Sanand, was brought to Sterling Hospitals in a serious condition after being refused admission at two to three hospitals due to the high fatality associated with Paraquat poisoning. By the time he reached Sterling Hospitals, his condition had deteriorated significantly, leaving very little margin for delay.

Dr. Sonal Dalal, Director – Nephrology, Sterling Hospitals said, “We acted immediately and initiated hemoperfusion – an advanced dialysis-based treatment – to remove the toxin directly from the bloodstream. Our top priority was to eliminate the poison before it could cause further organ damage, followed by close intensive monitoring and comprehensive supportive care.”

The timely treatment showed results. Within seven to eight days, the patient began to recover steadily. His organ functions stabilised, his strength gradually returned, and he was soon able to walk and eat normally. Today, he has made a complete recovery and has resumed his routine life.

Commenting on the case, Mr. Santosh Marathe, MD & CEO, Sterling Hospitals, said, “This case is a powerful reminder that when time, expertise and intent come together, lives can be saved even in the most critical circumstances. Treating a rare and highly fatal Paraquat poisoning demands swift clinical judgement, advanced medical capability and seamless teamwork. I am immensely proud of our doctors and caregivers who stood by the patient with skill, compassion and determination, reaffirming Sterling Hospitals’ commitment to delivering hope in the most challenging medical emergencies.”

Dr Tapan Shah, along with Dr Harsh Maniar, emphasised that panic in poisoning cases often results in the loss of crucial time, which can significantly impact patient outcomes. He noted that even in highly lethal poisonings such as Paraquat, early diagnosis and swift treatment can significantly improve survival outcomes.

Sharing his experience after recovery, the patient said he received excellent care at Sterling Hospitals. He stated that his vomiting had completely stopped, the weakness had disappeared, and he was able to eat and move around comfortably. He added that his appetite had improved and he now feels fully healthy again. The successful outcome of this case highlights the importance of timely medical attention, advanced treatment facilities and experienced clinical teams in handling life threatening poisoning emergencies.

About Sterling Hospitals: (https://www.sterlinghospitals.com)

The hospital offers a variety of crucial disciplines, such as cardiology and CVTS surgery, neurology and neurosurgery, nephrology and urology, liver and renal transplantation (cadaveric and live), GI medicine and surgery, hematology, bone marrow transplant, and oncology.

Mumbai Dietitian Launches “The Anti Inflammation Project” to Target Silent Inflammation

Desk News — Tue, 13 Jan 2026 01:00:05 +0530

Anti Inflammatory Dietitian in India – Dt. Foram Modi)

Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], January 12: In the age of AI in 2026, lifestyle diseases are rising faster than ever. It is found that the hidden root cause of these diseases is Silent but Chronic inflammation in the body. However, it is not having much awareness in India. To deal with this and get more and more people aware of this hidden health problem, a leading dietitian and nutritionist in Mumbai, Dt. Foram Modi have started an initiative named “The Anti Inflammation Project”.

Many common health problems such as PCOS, thyroid disorders, diabetes, and pregnancy-related complications are often not standalone diseases. But these are symptoms of long-standing Silent inflammation in the body. The Anti Inflammation Project started by Dt. Foram Modi in Mumbai, India aims to spread awareness about the knowledge & benefits of an anti-inflammatory diet at no costs.

What Exactly is Silent Inflammation?

Let us first understand what exactly is inflammation in the body from a dietician’s perspective. Inflammation is body’s natural defense mechanism, to say it in simple words. For example, when you get injured or infected, the short-term inflammation occurs in your body and this helps in healing the injury or infection. This is fine. The real problem starts when inflammation becomes chronic and silent.

Dietician Foram Modi says that this silent inflammation is the root cause of various chronic conditions and this can affect both men and women, especially adults. And everyone must know the shocking truth that, the people who are calling they are having a normal Indian eating habits are promoting this silent inflammation every single day.

Yes, you heard it right. In India, you may see the use of refined flour, excess sugar, deep fried foods, processed snacks and bakery items in almost every kitchen. They call it as a normal eating habit, but the truth is that it is the source of this silent inflammation, leading dietitian & nutritionist in Mumbai, Dt. Foram Modi says.

Explaining Inflammation with Example of PCOS/PCOD

PCOS is not just a hormonal disorder, but the real root cause is silent and chronic inflammation inside the body. This silent inflammation doesn’t cause any symptoms such as fever or obvious pain, but it slowly stays in your body and disturbs many things.

Chronic inflammation affects your insulin function, increases the level of your stress hormones, and disrupts the balance of reproductive hormones in your body. What you see are some visible symptoms such as irregular periods, weight gain, acne, hair fall, and especially a difficulty in conceiving.

So if it’s PCOS, then it’s inflammation and the result of inflammation are these PCOD symptoms.

When the body stays in an inflamed state for a longer time, that is, let’s say for months or a year, due to poor diet, stress, lack of sleep then the ovaries and hormonal system stop responding normally, says Dietitian Foram Modi in Mumbai.

Think of inflammation like a phone with too many apps running in the background. You may see the phone is good, but it becomes slow internally and starts malfunctioning.

Similarly, when inflammation is always in the on state in your body, the best medicine or exercise will fail until the hidden inflammation is fixed first. So, how to get control over this silent inflammation? The answer by Dt. Foram Modi is, an Anti Inflammatory Diet.

So, what is an Anti Inflammatory Diet?

An anti-inflammatory diet is not a type of a fad diet or a crash diet, but it is a scientifically designed way of eating which focuses on reducing the intake of foods which causes inflammation and increasing the intake of foods which help the body heal and repair. The anti-inflammatory diet, if you follow it diligently, it will help in improving the health of your gut and hormonal balance.

You can consider anti-inflammatory diet as a type of detox diet which helps in recovery of your body. For example, an anti-inflammatory diet includes things such as fresh vegetables and fruits, good quality proteins, healthy fat, whole grains and fiber, and proper hydration. In addition, anti-inflammatory diet must limit the use of refined sugar, refined flour, and packaged or processed foods.

Dietitian Foram Modi in Mumbai says, many people think that they are eating healthy because they think if they eat at home then it’s healthy, but their home food is also having silent inflammation. Just adding salad or green tea does not fix the inflammation if your rest of the food plate is wrong, Dietitian Foram says.

“The Anti Inflammation Project” – Dt. Foram Modi’s Free Health Initiative

After consulting with multiple women struggling with PCOS, thyroid, and women having problems in conceiving, Dietitian Foram Modi has identified the root cause of all these problems as the silent inflammation.

Now to address it at root levels and make it accessible to all people in Mumbai & India, she has started an anti-inflammatory awareness initiative at her diet clinic in Borivali, Mumbai. The name of this initiative is “The Anti Inflammation Project”.

This anti inflammatory diet initiative led by Dt. Foram Modi is a dedicated health movement with the only aim of educating more and more people about this silent inflammation in the body.

New Path to Pain Relief for Patients: Not Every Patient Needs Knee Replacement – Dr. N.K. Agarwal

Desk News — Mon, 12 Jan 2026 18:30:07 +0530

LET US SAVE OUR KNEES
New Treatment Methods: Moving From Replacement To Regeneration

Chandigarh [India], January 12: A rapidly changing lifestyle, aging, and a hectic life have made knee pain a common yet serious issue today. Previously, this problem was mostly considered limited to the elderly, but now younger people are also beginning to experience Knee pain. Climbing stairs, sitting on the ground, or walking for a while has become challenging for many. Often, when relief is not found through medication, physiotherapy, and injections, patients are advised to opt for knee replacement. Many people want to postpone Knee Replacement Surgery due to fear, costs, complications, failure of treatment and long recovery, but they feel there are no alternatives.

Thousands of Knee Surgeries Performed

Senior Orthopaedic specialist Dr. N. K. Aggarwal from Ludhiana is trying to change this mindset. Having trained at best centres in India and abroad, he has served at centres of excellence in India, UK, Europe and USA. He returned to his motherland to serve and provide state of the art services to his countrymen. Dr Aggarwal has been Head of Orthopaedics at CMC and Professor of Arthroplasty & Traumatology at DMC, Ludhiana. After performing thousands of knee replacement surgeries for 35 years, he has concluded that knee pain is not just a joint problem but can be sign of a disease related to the entire body. As part of his service to society he is providing these treatments without any fees to retired army personnel.

Dr. Aggarwal explains in simple Q & A format, why knee pain is increasing, the limitations of knee replacement, and how appropriate treatment at the right time can lead to a better life without surgery. We spoke to him in easy language.

Question 1: Why has knee pain become so common today?

Answer: People are living longer than before. As age increases, there is more pressure on the knees. Years of exertion, movement, and weight, affect the joints. This is why knee pain and arthritis are on the rise.

Question 2: You’ve been performing knee replacement surgeries for several years. What does your experience say?

Answer: I have been doing knee replacement surgeries for about 35 years. Initially, knee replacement was considered a revolutionary and best treatment. However, with increasing experience we have realized that there are some down sides to Knee Replacement Surgery. Though the complication rate after Knee Replacement is usually less than 5%, however even in whom the surgery is successful, 20 -25 % patients are not satisfied as they are not relieved of their symptoms. Even those who are happy after Knee Replacement, after about 15 years, some patients started experiencing issues. This made me feel that perhaps we weren’t understanding the real cause of the disease.

Question 3: Has the surgery technique improved over time?

Answer: Yes, the technique has improved. There is less bleeding, there is less post-operative pain and patients recover faster. But problems like risk of complications, dissatisfaction even after a successful surgery, loosening of the implant, wear and tear, or infections still occur. This indicated that we need to find a better treatment, attacking the root cause of disease.

Question 4: How did you attempt to reach the root of the disease?

Answer: Three to four years ago, I started studying deeply—not just about Knee Replacement, but also about why and how Knee Pain starts and relation of other bodily diseases to Knee pain. I noticed a common factor among back pain, knee arthritis, and heart diseases.

Question 5: What is that common factor?

Answer: It is the systemic inflammation, meaning internal swelling throughout the body. As we age, the body’s metabolism slows down, hormones change, and there is a constant low-level inflammation. This inflammation gradually cause deterioration of the knee joints.

Question 6: Is knee arthritis just a joint problem?

Answer: Absolutely not. Previously, we thought only the cartilage was wearing out. But if there is ongoing inflammation in the body, merely treating the knee will not suffice. It’s essential to correct the body’s overall metabolic imbalance and treat the systemic inflammation.

Question 7: Did this thinking lead to the initiation of 360-degree treatment?

Answer: Yes. We developed a treatment that works on both the knees and the entire body. Since the disease is related to the whole body, the treatment should also be comprehensive.

Question 8: What does this 360-degree treatment include?

Answer: Local treatment includes modern biological techniques by using patients own healing capacity with injections of PRP (platelet-rich plasma), PRGF (Plasma Rich in Growth Cells), stem cell therapy, bone marrow concentrate, and sometimes amniotic tissue derivatives. The body treatment focuses on reducing inflammation, improving metabolism, taking appropriate supplements, and offering personalized advice for each patient.

Question 9: How does this approach differ from knee replacement?

Answer: These treatments are minimally invasive. Normally, there’s no need for hospitalization, and no anaesthesia is required. The patient comes in, gets treated, and goes home same day. No major surgery and no bed rest is needed. It extremely safe and if needed, after few years, the treatment can be easily repeated.

Question 10: What results have you seen so far? What message do you have for patients?

Answer: We have treated more than 150 Knees, with our new protocol. The results are very good and satisfying in more than 95% patients. Pain decreases, walking becomes easier, and daily life improves. Many patients who were advised to undergo knee replacement are now able to move well without surgery. My message is not to ignore the pain. Timely treatment can manage inflammation and preserve your knees for a long time.

What is Systemic Inflammation?

It is a condition characterized by slow and continuous inflammation inside the body. It is caused by poor diet, lack of activity, aging, hormonal changes, genetic causes and metabolic imbalance.

Question 11: Being a surgeon, earning from expensive surgeries like Knee Replacement, why are you offering this non-surgical treatment?

Answer: This is a good question. I have been asked many times, mostly from my own fraternity. As a doctor, my objective is not just to earn money, but to offer the best possible, safe, affordable and appropriate treatment to my patients. I have always considered earning to be a bye product of my honest services to society and not the primary objective of my work.

Dr Batra’s Launches XODerma – Non-Invasive Exosome-Based Skin Rejuvenation Treatment

Desk News — Fri, 09 Jan 2026 19:00:08 +0530

Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], January 9: Dr Batra’s®, a pioneer of modern homeopathy in India, has introduced Dr Batra’s® XODerma, a breakthrough in skin rejuvenation and the first treatment of its kind in India that brings together homeopathy and skin exosome technology for advanced anti-ageing and anti-pigmentation care. This non-injectable, non-invasive and painless treatment is designed to help people achieve ageless, spotless skin safely and comfortably, with visible improvements in just three sessions.

Dr Batra’s® XODerma is powered by the science of exosomes, highly targeted biological messengers that work at a deep cellular level. These nano-sized particles penetrate into the deeper layers of the skin and activate natural repair and regeneration processes, helping deliver longer-lasting results rather than surface-level cosmetic improvement. By working at the cellular level, the treatment improves skin texture, tone, firmness and clarity over time.

Commenting on the launch, Dr Akshay Batra, Trichologist, Fellowship in Homeopathic Cosmetology & Aesthetics and Managing Director, Dr Batra’s® Healthcare said, “At Dr Batra’s®, innovation that genuinely benefits patients is at the core of our work. After successfully introducing exosome-based hair treatments in India, we are delighted to bring XODerma—a globally recognised skin rejuvenation therapy—to our patients. With rising skin concerns linked to pollution, stress, ageing, and demanding lifestyles, people today want treatments that are quick, effective, and above all, safe. XODerma delivers visible improvements in texture, tone, and firmness in just three sessions. By combining cutting-edge exosome science with our promise of natural, side-effect–free care, we aim to offer healthier, youthful, glowing skin in the most comfortable way possible.”

What makes XODerma unique is its integrative approach, where advanced exosome technology works alongside personalised homeopathy. While exosomes target skin repair from the outside, homeopathic medicines help address the root causes of pigmentation and skin ageing, including hormonal imbalance, nutritional deficiencies, stress and lifestyle-related skin issues. This dual-action approach supports both internal balance and external skin renewal for more sustainable and holistic results.

The treatment is enriched with a powerful blend of scientifically backed skin actives. Peptides help smooth fine lines and improve skin firmness, hyaluronic acid deeply hydrates and plumps the skin, PDRN stimulates collagen production and supports DNA repair, and adenosine accelerates skin renewal and improves overall skin quality. Together, these ingredients work to enhance radiance, reduce pigmentation, improve firmness and refine skin texture.

Each XODerma session begins with an AI-based skin analysis, where advanced technology assesses pigmentation, fine lines, pore size, texture and hydration levels. Based on this assessment, doctors create a personalised treatment plan tailored to each individual’s skin needs. The procedure then includes deep cleansing to prepare the skin, followed by micro-channel creation using a derma pen to enable precise, non-injectable delivery of exosomes and active ingredients into the deeper skin layers.

5 Leading Gastroenterologists in Bangalore: Your Guide to Expert Digestive Care

Desk News — Fri, 09 Jan 2026 12:30:16 +0530

Bangalore (Karnataka) [India], January 6: Bangalore is home to some of India’s most accomplished gastroenterologists, offering world-class treatment for digestive and liver diseases. These five leading specialists combine international training, cutting-edge technology, and compassionate care to provide comprehensive gastrointestinal healthcare.

1. Dr Yogananda Reddy – Bangalore Gastro Centre Hospitals

With over two decades of international experience, Dr Yogananda Reddy stands among the most respected names in gastroenterology in India. A UK-trained expert, he earned his MBBS in 2000 before completing postgraduate training and a CCT in Gastroenterology from Manchester, followed by a Fellowship in Advanced Endoscopy in Birmingham. Having served as Chief of Gastroenterology at a large teaching hospital in Manchester, Dr. Reddy returned to India to establish the Bangalore Gastro Centre, where he currently leads the largest gastroenterology team in Karnataka.

His specialisations include IBS, GERD, IBD (Crohn’s disease and colitis), pancreatic and liver diseases, gastrointestinal cancers, and advanced endoscopic procedures. Dr Reddy has been honoured with several prestigious awards, including the NHS UK Clinical Excellence Award, European Travel Grant, and multiple national recognitions such as Gastroenterologist & Hepatologist of the Year (The Economic Times, 2024–2025) and Excellence in Gastroenterology (Times of India, 2024). He continues to contribute to international medical education as an Honorary Senior Clinical Lecturer for UCLAN Medical School, UK.

2. Dr Naresh Bhat – Aster CMI Hospital

With over 30 years of pioneering work in gastroenterology, Dr. Naresh Bhat is a distinguished figure in digestive and liver medicine. A graduate of St. John’s Medical College, Bangalore, he earned his MD and DM from PGI Chandigarh before pursuing advanced training in Germany and Japan.

Currently serving as the Chief of Gastroenterology and Hepatology at Aster CMI Hospital, Dr. Bhat specializes in clinical gastroenterology, advanced endoscopy, inflammatory bowel disease, pancreatic and metabolic liver disease, and GI cancer. His leadership extends beyond clinical practice—he has chaired several national and international medical societies, including the Society of GI Endoscopy India and ISG Karnataka, and has been recognised with multiple gold medals for academic excellence, including the Pope Paul Gold Medal. His commitment to innovation and education has made him one of India’s most influential gastroenterologists.

3. Dr Dinesh Kini – Apollo Hospital

Known for his expertise in complex liver and biliary diseases, Dr Dinesh Kini brings over 25 years of medical excellence to the field. A Gold Medalist in General Medicine from KMC, Mangalore, Dr Kini is recognised for his pioneering role in introducing the multidisciplinary liver disease department (MILDD) concept in India.

He has played a pivotal role in initiating liver transplant programs at major hospitals such as Manipal and Sakra World, while also introducing advanced endoscopic and interventional procedures like Spyglass Cholangioscopy, Enteroscopy, Endoscopic Ultrasound, and Therasphere (Y-90) Therapy for liver cancer. As a forward-thinking clinician, he continues to expand the scope of liver care with minimally invasive techniques and multidisciplinary collaboration.

4. Dr Lorance Peter – Sakra Hospital

A leading authority in gastroenterology with over 23 years of post-DM experience, Dr. Lorance Peter currently serves as the Director and Head of Medical Gastroenterology & Hepatology at Sakra World Hospital. Educated at St. John’s Medical College, PGIMER Chandigarh, and SGPGI Lucknow, Dr. Peter is credited with introducing several firsts in Karnataka, including Oesophageal and Rectal Manometry and POEM procedures for Achalasia Cardia.

He has performed more than 70,000 endoscopic procedures and established GI physiology labs at St. John’s and Manipal Hospitals. As a national-level trainer for advanced endoscopic techniques such as Spyglass Cholangioscopy, Dr. Peter combines clinical precision with academic leadership. His extensive teaching and research contributions have positioned him as a thought leader in digestive health and motility disorders.

5. Dr B. S. Raveendra – Fortis Hospital

Renowned for his expertise in interventional endoscopy and hepatology, Dr B. S. Raveendra has built a strong reputation for excellence in patient-centred care. With over 15 years of experience, he has performed more than 10,000 endoscopic ultrasound procedures and is a recognised authority in ERCP, Capsule Endoscopy, Enteroscopy, and Third-Space Endoscopy.

Dr. Raveendra’s commitment extends beyond treatment—he has founded support groups for Hepatitis, Inflammatory Bowel Disease, and Pancreatic Disorders, providing patients with long-term education and community care. His professional affiliations include the Indian Society of Gastroenterology, SGEI, and the American Society of Gastroenterology, reflecting his contributions to both national and international medical practice.

Why These Doctors Stand Out?

These five specialists represent the highest standards of digestive healthcare in Bangalore. Their international training, groundbreaking innovations, and patient-first philosophy set benchmarks for excellence. Dr Yogananda Reddy and Dr Naresh Bhat bring global expertise from the UK, Germany, and Japan. Dr Dinesh Kini and Dr Lorance Peter have revolutionised liver and endoscopic care with advanced techniques and multidisciplinary models, while Dr B. S. Raveendra’s patient support initiatives highlight a holistic approach to long-term digestive wellness.

Choosing the Right Specialist

Selecting the right gastroenterologist depends on individual needs. For internationally trained expertise, patients often turn to Dr Yogananda Reddy or Dr Naresh Bhat. For complex liver procedures, Dr. Dinesh Kini remains a leading choice. Those seeking advanced endoscopic expertise may prefer Dr Lorance Peter, while patients managing chronic conditions benefit from Dr B. S. Raveendra’s compassionate, community-based approach.

Each of these doctors practices at premier hospitals equipped with cutting-edge facilities, ensuring patients receive globally benchmarked, evidence-based care across the entire spectrum of gastrointestinal health.

Simpladent Clinics – The Best Dental Clinic for Corticobasal® Implantology in Indirapuram, Ghaziabad

Desk News — Wed, 07 Jan 2026 15:00:10 +0530

New Delhi [India], January 6: With rapid development in dental implantology, Simpladent Clinic has established a reputation for offering state-of-the-art dental implants and allied solutions. Located in Indirapuram, Ghaziabad, the clinic integrates science with aesthetics, restoring confidence, function, and lifelong oral health. Recognised as the best dental clinic in Indirapuram, Ghaziabad, it has redefined how patients perceive tooth replacement, particularly through advanced Corticobasal® Implantology – an approach that eliminates bone grafts, reduces treatment duration, and offers permanent fixed teeth within days.

At the centre of this revolution is Dr. Vivek Gaur, a top implantologist in India, whose expertise has attracted patients from India, the Middle East, Europe, and beyond. Under his stewardship, Simpladent has become synonymous with reliability, innovation, and compassionate care. The clinic not only functions as the best dental implant centre in Indirapuram, Ghaziabad, but also serves as a training ground for budding implantologists who wish to master immediate-load and graftless implantology.

Myths vs Facts About Corticobasal® Implantology

Corticobasal® Implantology, despite its rising global acceptance, is still surrounded by misapprehension. One common myth is that this technique is painful and invasive because implants are anchored into deeper bone structures. The fact, however, is that these implants are placed using minimally invasive, flapless techniques under local anaesthesia, drastically reducing pain, swelling, and healing time. Another misapprehension is that implants cannot be placed without bone grafting or sinus lifting. In reality, Corticobasal® implants are specifically designed to engage cortical bone, which remains unaffected even when alveolar bone deteriorates.

A few believe that these modern implants are suitable only for younger patients and those in good health. In contrast, Corticobasal® Implants are ideal for the elderly, diabetes, smokers, and those with other ailments. Another myth claims that immediately fixed teeth are temporary. Scientifically, these implants are built for long-term functional loading and demonstrate high survival rates worldwide. By dispelling such myths with evidence-based practice, Simpladent Clinics and Dr. Vivek Gaur continue to build trust and deliver life-changing outcomes.

Why Delaying Tooth Replacement Could Cost You Thousands More

Delaying tooth replacement might appear harmless initially, but clinically, it contributes to irreversible deterioration of oral structures. When a missing tooth is not replaced, the jawbone gradually begins to resorb due to a lack of stimulation. This bone loss leads to sagging facial features, difficulty in chewing, misalignment of adjacent teeth, and increased periodontal issues. What could have been managed by a single implant eventually transforms into a complex, costly, and lengthy reconstruction.

Furthermore, delayed intervention often means higher prosthetic expenses, additional implant units, sinus lifts, or corrective jaw treatments. Patients who postpone treatment for years often find themselves spending significantly more than those who seek help early. Corticobasal® Implantology counters this challenge efficiently by using the basal cortical bone – strong, infection-resistant, and naturally stable – thereby eliminating the need for waiting periods, bone grafts, or sinus augmentation.

In many instances, individuals report digestive problems, speech difficulties, and psychological stress due to missing teeth. These complications go far beyond cosmetics; they affect systemic health and self-esteem. With prompt action, patients protect their overall well-being as well as their financial burdens. If you need a precision and minimally invasive solution, Dr. Vivek Gaur is the ideal choice since he is trusted as the best Corticobasal® Implantologist in Delhi NCR.

Cost Efficiency: Why Immediate Implants Save Money in the Long Term

While dental implants may initially appear to be a significant investment, immediate-loading Corticobasal® implants actually reduce long-term expenses in ways traditional implantology cannot. With conventional implants, surgically invasive procedures like bone grafting, sinus lifting, and others are almost certain. Add on the prolonged healing periods, and these implants pose an extra financial burden.

In contrast, Corticobasal® implants rely on the strong cortical bone and allow fixed teeth to be placed within 48–72 hours – eliminating months of waiting, additional surgeries, and prosthetic adjustments. Fewer appointments translate into reduced clinical fees, travel costs, time away from work, and medication expenses.

Traditional implants are prone to peri-implantitis, prosthetic failures, and implant mobility that leads to extra, higher costs. Immediate-functional loading implants have the highest success rates in all patients, even those with diabetes, smoking habits, or bone resorption. The durability and structural integration of these implants mean that patients avoid future corrective procedures.

Do Dental Implants Really Last a Lifetime or Is It Marketing Hype?

The belief that dental implants last a lifetime is only partially correct. Titanium and Corticobasal® implants have exceptionally high survival rates, often above 95% over 10 – 15 years to a lifetime with proper care. Unlike traditional implants that rely heavily on spongy alveolar bone, Corticobasal® implants anchor directly into the cortical bone layer – dense, infection-resistant, and stable throughout life. This significantly enhances durability and allows for immediate loading of fixed teeth. Still, it is important to comprehend that poor maintenance, unmanaged diabetes, and smoking can compromise the implant’s lifespan.

In line with this, “lifetime implants” are indeed true, provided they are placed by an experienced and skilled surgeon using the latest technology in the domain of implant dentistry. Along with this, proper controlled follow up visit to implantologist to check bite registration and maintenance and care needed to ensure the lifetime feature of dental implants.

Why Winter Is Considered the Best Season for Hair Transplant : Hair Transplant Surgeon Dr. Navnit Haror Explains

Desk News — Sat, 03 Jan 2026 20:00:08 +0530

New Delhi [India], January 3: In the last few years, hair transplantation has emerged as a reliable and effective option for getting rid of hair loss and baldness. Young, old, male, and female – everyone is choosing the hair transplant procedure to get natural and permanent hair. But a common question that crosses every patient’s mind is – which is the best season for a hair transplant? Many people believe that getting a hair transplant in winter is ideal, while others think summer is safer. However, the truth is that the season has no bearing on the success of a hair transplant. Nevertheless, people tend to prefer getting hair transplants in winter, and there are some valid reasons for this. Here, Dr. Navnit Haror, an international hair transplant surgeon and founder of Dr. Haror’s Wellness, the best hair transplant clinic in Delhi, India, explains why winter is considered the best season for hair transplantation.

Better Healing & Recovery

After a hair transplant, it takes 3-4 days for the grafts to settle properly. In winter, due to cold weather, there is no sweating, which significantly reduces the risk of the grafts becoming dislodged. Also, less sweating leads to faster healing and recovery, and there is also a lower risk of infection. Dr. Navnit Haror says that in a controlled environment, the survival rate of the grafts increases.

Comfort During Recovery

After a hair transplant, patients need to avoid direct sunlight, dust, and pollution for a few days. The winter season is naturally mild, so patients can easily control their outdoor activities. Due to extreme heat and humidity in the summer season, patients feel scalp irritation. But that is not the case in winter – the pleasant winter weather significantly reduces post-procedure discomfort.

Stronger Graft Retention

In winter, the scalp temperature remains stable, which is beneficial for newly implanted hair follicles. According to Dr. Navnit Haror, cooler weather maintains balanced blood circulation, which means the grafts receive proper nutrients. This strengthens the transplanted hair follicles and reduces the risk of early shedding.

Discreet Recovery

Winter is the best season if you don’t want anyone to know about your hair transplant. Due to the cold weather during this season, most people stay indoors, and there is less going out, so people won’t notice. Also, to protect themselves from the cold wind, people use scarves, mufflers, and caps, which can help you hide your procedure.

Better Aftercare

After a hair transplant, you need to avoid certain things like strong sunlight, water, dust, etc. In winter, you can easily manage all these things. The more you stay indoors, the better and quicker your recovery and hair transplant results will be.

Dr. Navnit Haror, the best hair transplant doctor in India, firmly believes that the winter season is the safest, most comfortable, and most result-oriented time for hair transplantation. If you want, choosing the right surgeon along with the right season is equally important.

If you are troubled by hair loss and are looking for a permanent solution, then a hair transplant procedure could be the best choice for you to get natural-looking, dense, and long-lasting hair transplant results. Why delay? Book your consultation today with Dr. Navnit Haror to regain your lost hair and confidence this winter.

Q. So, is it a good idea to get a hair transplant in winter?

Absolutely! Getting a hair transplant in winter can be a good decision. Recovery is faster during this season, the risk of infection is lower, and post-operative care is also easier.

Q. Does a hair transplant cost more in winter?

No! The season has no bearing on hair transplant cost. The cost depends on factors such as your hair loss condition, the number of grafts required, the technique used, the clinic, and the experience & expertise of the doctor, facilities, etc.

Can A Health Insurance Premium Calculator Predict Future Medical Inflation? How To Read The Results Smartly

Desk News — Sat, 03 Jan 2026 13:30:28 +0530

Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], January 3: Health insurance premium calculators are helpful, but they are not crystal balls. They can help you estimate what you might pay based on details you enter today, and they can hint at how costs may change under certain assumptions. The smart move is to treat the result as a decision aid, not a promise.

This article explains what these calculators can and cannot indicate about medical inflation, and how to interpret their outputs wisely when choosing a health insurance policy in India.

What a Premium Calculator Really Does

A premium calculator typically converts your inputs into an estimated premium using an insurer’s underwriting and pricing logic. In most cases, it is designed to reflect current pricing and eligibility rules, and to show how a change in your selections could affect your payable amount.

What it usually captures well:

Your age band and basic risk indicators
Coverage choices you make (sum insured, room options, add-ons, deductible choices)
Family composition (self, spouse, children, parents)
Location and policy type differences (where applicable)

What it does not truly “predict”:

The actual future trajectory of hospital charges in your city
How frequently do claims rise across the market
Future changes to product design, underwriting rules, or pricing approaches

So, a calculator can help you compare options while searching for the best health insurance plan in India, but it should be read as a snapshot built from today’s rules.

Why Medical Inflation is Hard to Predict

Medical inflation is not a single, steady curve. In India, it can move differently based on region, hospital category, treatment type, and even how billing practices evolve. Costs may rise because of technology adoption, higher specialist fees, more diagnostic testing, changes in treatment protocols, or shifts in demand for private healthcare.

It also varies by the kind of care involved:

Planned procedures can see different cost patterns from emergency care
Short stays can inflate differently from long ICU stays
Metro pricing can behave differently from non-metro pricing

Because these drivers do not move in a neat line, any “future-looking” figure from a calculator is, at best, a scenario estimate rather than a forecast.

Inputs That Can Distort The Estimate

Many people assume the calculator result reflects medical inflation. In reality, the result often reflects your input choices more than any broader cost trend. Small changes can swing the output, which is why it’s essential to review what you selected.

Pay attention to these inputs:

Age and Date of Birth: Even a slight difference can move you into another age band.
Policy Tenure and Payment Mode: Some calculators show different amounts depending on how you choose to pay or renew.
Members Covered: A floater for a young couple may look very different from family cover with parents included.
Add-Ons And Riders: Each add-on changes the premium and changes the claim experience assumptions behind the scenes.
Deductibles and Co-Pay Clauses: These can reduce premiums, but may increase your out-of-pocket cost later.
Room Eligibility: Room options can influence claim settlement amounts in many hospitals.

If you want a realistic sense of affordability, keep your inputs consistent while comparing options for the best health insurance policy in India.

Reading The Output Beyond The Final Premium

Most people look only at the final premium. That’s understandable, but not enough. A calculator’s value is in the details it exposes about what you are buying and what trade-offs you are making.

Here’s what to scan in the result screen and summary:

Coverage Structure: Is it individual or floater, and does it match how your family actually uses healthcare?
Key Limits And Conditions: Are there sub-limits, waiting periods, or restrictions that could matter for your needs?
Hospitalisation Scope: Check how day-care, pre- and post-hospitalisation, and emergency care are treated.
Claim-Related Features: Look for features linked to claim handling and continuity, not just premium.
Premium Drivers: Some calculators show what increased cost the most; use this to understand what you’re paying for.

When you interpret the output this way, you stop treating the calculator like a predictor and start using it as a comparison lens for the best medical insurance policy in India.

Conclusion

A health insurance premium calculator can guide your decision, but it cannot truly predict medical inflation. What it can do is show how your choices affect your premium today and help you compare options consistently.

The most innovative way to use it is to keep inputs steady, read the output beyond the final amount, and then verify the fine print that shapes real claim experience. That balanced approach gives you a stronger chance of choosing the best medical insurance policy in India for your needs, without relying on assumptions the calculator was never designed to make.

Health Insurance for Young Professionals: Why Starting Early Saves Money

Desk News — Wed, 31 Dec 2025 14:00:08 +0530

Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], December 31: Early in your career, most money decisions are about building momentum. Medical costs are among the few surprises that can undo months of effort, as bills arrive without warning. Starting early with personal cover helps protect your plans.

In this article, you will explore why buying early reduces costs, eases approvals, and strengthens your coverage as your career grows.

Why Young Professionals Shouldn’t Wait to Buy Health Insurance

It is common to delay because you feel healthy, rarely see a doctor, and assume an employer’s policy will cover the cost. The risk is not only illness. It is also accidents, sudden infections, or unexpected procedures that require quick admission. Health insurance helps keep your savings from becoming a hospital fund, so you do not have to pause goals like investing or supporting your family.

Waiting often creates avoidable pressure:

You shop in a hurry when you are already stressed.
You choose based solely on price, not on claim-friendly features.

How Buying Early Reduces Your Premium

Premiums usually reflect age and risk signals. Entering earlier often means a more favourable starting point, which can make renewals easier to manage over time. This is one reason advisors recommend buying health insurance before responsibilities increase and budgets tighten.

A cleaner baseline gives you options:

When you buy health insurance early, you can upgrade your cover later if needed, rather than compromising when monthly commitments are already high.
You are also less likely to cut corners on essentials, such as hospital access or room category rules.

Fewer Health Issues Now Can Mean Smoother Underwriting

Underwriting is the insurer’s process for evaluating disclosures and medical history. Buying earlier often means fewer existing conditions to declare and fewer follow-ups to handle. That can make the experience simpler and help you get clear terms for your medical insurance.

What matters for smooth claims later:

Accurate disclosure reduces the risk of claim disputes arising from non-disclosure.
It also helps you understand exclusions and waiting periods upfront.

Waiting Periods Become a Bigger Deal When You Buy Late

Most policies have waiting periods for specific conditions and for pre-existing illnesses. These clauses are standard across the market, so the smart approach is to plan around them rather than be surprised by them. If you buy late, you may need treatment before waiting periods are completed.

A better way to read waiting period clauses:

Instead of asking, “Is everything covered?”, ask what is covered immediately and what becomes eligible later.
This small shift in how you read waiting period clauses helps you choose a plan with clarity and realistic expectations.

Early Health Insurance Builds Better Continuity Benefits

Continuity means renewing on time and keeping your policy active without breaks. Over time, this can unlock renewal-linked advantages, such as no-claim or cumulative bonus benefits, where your coverage may increase if you do not make a claim, depending on plan terms.

Continuity also reduces last-minute decisions:

Careers change, but a continuous personal policy stays with you even if you switch jobs, move cities, or take a break.
It reduces reliance on employer cover and prevents rushed insurance decisions during transitions.

What to Look for in a Plan as a Young Professional

There is no single best plan for everyone, but some features consistently shape a policy’s real value. Compare health insurance for family plans based on what happens during hospitalisation, not just what looks good in a brochure.

Features worth comparing

Here are the features that are worth comparing:

Cashless support and network hospitals: Cashless claims can improve cash flow by allowing the insurer to settle approved bills directly with the hospital, in accordance with policy terms and limits.
Room category limits and sub-limits: These can influence your out-of-pocket share in common scenarios.
Cost-sharing: Co-pay and deductibles can reduce premiums but increase what you pay during a claim.
Restoration and bonus features: Useful when the sum insured is exhausted during the policy year.

Keep employer cover as a backup, not your only line of defence. Also, check the claim process and pre-authorisation steps so you don’t have to learn them during an emergency. A personal mediclaim policy helps you stay protected during job changes and career breaks.

Conclusion

Buying early is a simple way to prevent medical costs from becoming financial setbacks. When you get covered sooner, you are more likely to enter on smoother terms, complete waiting periods before you need them, and build continuity-linked benefits over time. Renew consistently, and you move closer to the best health insurance for your needs without straining your monthly budget.

5 Eye Hospitals in India for Working Professionals Seeking Specs Removal

Desk News — Tue, 30 Dec 2025 18:30:08 +0530

New Delhi [India], December 30: For India’s working professionals, vision correction is no longer just about clinical outcomes; it’s about time efficiency, informed choice, and long-term visual stability. Specs removal procedures such as LASIK, SMILE, ICL, and surface ablation have evolved significantly, but the hospital you choose plays a decisive role in how smooth, ethical, and predictable that journey is.

The hospitals listed below are recognised for offering advanced refractive care while maintaining conservative patient screening, a factor especially important for professionals balancing demanding schedules and long-term eye health. The list focuses on institutions with structured refractive programs rather than procedure-centric offerings.

How This List Was Evaluated?

Instead of ranking by popularity or volume alone, the hospitals were assessed on factors relevant to working professionals:

Availability of multiple specs removal options (not a one-size-fits-all approach)
Pre-surgical diagnostics and eligibility protocols
Time-efficient care pathways without rushed decision-making
Institutional experience and continuity of care

1. AIIMS (New Delhi)

Best for conservative, academically driven evaluation.

AIIMS continues to be one of India’s most respected medical institutions, including in ophthalmology. For professionals considering specs removal, AIIMS is known for its cautious and evidence-based approach. Patients with borderline prescriptions, thin corneas, or fluctuating vision are often advised observation rather than intervention.

While the process may be less time-efficient compared to private hospitals, AIIMS offers reassurance through protocol-led decision-making and academic oversight. It is particularly suitable for professionals who prioritise clinical prudence over convenience.

2. Eye7 Eye Hospitals

Best for working professionals seeking choice, technology, and structured care.

Eye7 Eye Hospitals has built a strong reputation among urban professionals by offering a comprehensive specs removal ecosystem rather than a single-procedure approach. With multiple centres across Delhi NCR, Eye7 combines logistical convenience with subspecialty depth.

What sets Eye7 apart is the range of refractive procedures available under one network, including advanced laser-based options, implantable lenses, and surface treatments. Treatment selection is driven by corneal thickness, age, lifestyle, and occupational visual demands, not by a default surgical pathway.

Eye7 also places significant emphasis on advanced diagnostics and AI-assisted planning, using globally approved technologies to enhance accuracy while maintaining conservative eligibility criteria. Professionals who are unsuitable for surgery are routinely counselled against it, reinforcing trust and long-term safety.

For professionals balancing demanding schedules, Eye7’s structured workflows, continuity of follow-up, and access to multiple subspecialties make it a practical and reliable choice.

3. L V Prasad Eye Institute

Best for ethics-first, non-commercial care

L V Prasad Eye Institute (LVPEI) is widely respected for its non-profit, mission-driven model. Refractive surgery here is offered within a broader framework of patient education and long-term outcome planning, rather than as a routine elective procedure.

For professionals, LVPEI’s strength lies in methodical evaluation and transparent counselling. Procedures are recommended only when clinically justified, with clear discussions around limitations and expectations.

LVPEI is well suited for individuals who prefer a slower, more deliberative decision-making process anchored in institutional ethics.

4. Sankara Nethralaya

Best for professionals with complex or co-existing eye conditions

Sankara Nethralaya is one of India’s most established tertiary eye care centres. Its refractive services are embedded within a strong subspecialty framework, making it a dependable option for professionals who may have associated eye conditions alongside refractive errors.

The hospital follows protocol-driven screening and counselling, ensuring stability and suitability before recommending specs removal. Its academic environment and standardised systems appeal to professionals who value institutional consistency over fast-track elective care.

5. Aravind Eye Hospital

Best for efficient, standardised refractive care

Aravind Eye Hospital is globally recognised for its high-volume, affordable eye care model. While it is best known for cataract surgery, refractive services are offered within a highly standardised and ethical framework.

For working professionals with straightforward prescriptions, Aravind provides reliable outcomes supported by strong systems and disciplined processes. However, those seeking extensive customisation or lifestyle-driven procedure selection may find the model more structured than flexible.

What Working Professionals Should Keep in Mind?

Specs removal is not merely a convenience-driven decision. For professionals who rely heavily on screens, travel frequently, or work long hours, long-term corneal health, visual stability, and post-procedure support matter more than quick fixes.

The most reliable hospitals today are those that:

Offer multiple correction pathways, not forced recommendations
Invest in diagnostics as much as surgical platforms
Prioritise patient suitability over procedure volume

Final Takeaway

India’s leading eye hospitals reflect different philosophies of refractive care, from academic conservatism to technology-led personalisation. For working professionals, the ideal choice lies in institutions that combine advanced capability with ethical restraint, ensuring that freedom from glasses does not come at the cost of long-term eye health.

Comprehensive Stroke Care and Outcomes at Jehangir Hospital

Desk News — Fri, 26 Dec 2025 23:30:12 +0530

Pune (Maharashtra) [India], December 25: Stroke is a serious medical condition affecting blood vessels in and around the brain and is a leading cause of premature death and long-term disability in India. It occurs when blood flow to the brain is blocked (ischaemic stroke) or when a blood vessel bursts (haemorrhagic stroke), causing brain cells to die within minutes. Although more common in people over 40, stroke can occur at any age. Timely medical intervention can save lives and significantly reduce long-term disability.

World-Class Emergency Stroke Response at Jehangir Hospital

Jehangir Hospital was among the first in India to incorporate the CODE STROKE Programme, initiated in 2015. This rapid response system ensures immediate assessment and treatment of patients showing signs of stroke.

“We closely monitor a key quality indicator — the door-to-needle time — which measures the time taken to administer clot-dissolving medication after a patient arrives at the emergency department,” said Dr. Soumya Chandrasekhar, Consultant-Accident & Emergency Department at Jehangir Hospital. “Our team typically manages between 15 to 20 stroke cases per month, with around 7 to 8 patients receiving thrombolytic therapy.” he added.

As soon as a patient with stroke symptoms arrives, the CODE STROKE alert is activated through the hospital’s public announcement system, instantly mobilising the entire stroke team—including neurologists, emergency physicians, radiologists, nurses, and support staff—to respond without delay.

“Stroke treatment is truly a race against time. The faster a patient reaches a specialised stroke centre, the better the chances of saving brain tissue and preserving function. With structured protocols like CODE STROKE, advanced imaging, and a coordinated multidisciplinary team, we are able to deliver evidence-based care within the critical golden window, which significantly improves survival and long-term neurological outcomes.” said Dr. Manish Patil, Consultant Neurologist at Jehangir Hospital.

The first four and a half hours after a stroke—known as the golden window—are critical for treatment. During this time, every minute matters, as nearly two million neurons are lost for each minute a stroke goes untreated. Patients who receive clot-dissolving medication (thrombolytics) within this window have a significantly higher chance of survival and recovery with minimal brain damage.

Excellence in Emergency and Stroke Care

Jehangir Hospital’s Emergency Medicine Department is a Level-1 comprehensive tertiary care facility offering end-to-end care from prevention to rehabilitation. Equipped with advanced technology and supported by multi-disciplinary specialists, the department follows internationally standardised clinical pathways.

The hospital operates dedicated emergency protocols such as CODE STROKE, CODE CARDIAC, and CODE TRAUMA, supported by a robust Quality Assurance and Safety Codes system. Guided by its “Patient First” philosophy, Jehangir Hospital delivers high-quality care with compassion.

Recognised by the World Stroke Organisation (WSO), the hospital has achieved Platinum and Diamond Status Awards for consistently delivering stroke treatment within 45 minutes of door-to-needle time. The CODE STROKE Programme, pioneered by Lt. Dr Fiyaz Pasha, former Head of Emergency Medicine, continues to reflect his legacy of innovation and patient-centred care.

Common Symptoms of Stroke

Recognising the early signs of stroke can be life-saving, as symptoms usually appear suddenly. These may include sudden weakness or numbness of the face, arm, or leg—especially on one side of the body—along with drooping of the face or mouth. A person may experience slurred speech, difficulty speaking or understanding others, sudden confusion or disorientation, vision problems in one or both eyes, dizziness, loss of balance, or difficulty walking. In some cases, a severe headache with no known cause may also occur.

If any of these symptoms occur, act FAST:

F – Face: Ask the person to smile. Does one side droop?
A – Arms: Ask them to raise both arms. Does one arm drift downward?
S – Speech: Is their speech slurred or strange?
T – Time: If you observe any of these signs, call emergency services immediately.

Time saved is brain saved. Time lost is brain lost.

Care After a Stroke

Stroke recovery requires a multidisciplinary approach involving doctors, physiotherapists, occupational therapists, speech therapists, and psychologists. At Jehangir Hospital, post-stroke care focuses on early rehabilitation to restore movement and speech, close monitoring for complications such as infections, pressure sores, and depression, and lifestyle and dietary counselling to reduce the risk of recurrence. The hospital also offers support groups and family education to aid long-term emotional and physical recovery. The care team works closely with patients and their families to help them regain independence and improve quality of life.

Causes and Risk Factors

Prevention: Reducing Your Risk of Stroke

Prevention is always better than cure, as most strokes can be prevented through timely lifestyle changes and effective management of risk factors. Reducing stroke risk involves maintaining healthy blood pressure, controlling diabetes, and keeping cholesterol levels within normal limits. A balanced diet rich in fruits, vegetables, and whole grains, along with at least 30 minutes of regular physical activity, plays a key role. Quitting smoking, limiting alcohol intake, maintaining a healthy weight and BMI, and undergoing regular health check-ups—especially after the age of 40—are equally important. In some cases, medical interventions such as stenting may be required to treat narrowed or blocked brain arteries. For individuals who have already experienced a stroke or a transient ischaemic attack (TIA), consistent medication and follow-up care are essential to prevent recurrence.

Stroke is an emergency — but with awareness, timely action, and dedicated care, lives can not only be saved but also rebuilt. For more information, please visit: https://www.jehangirhospital.com/

Medical Breakthrough: How Robotic Surgery helped achieve Kidney Preservation for Kidney Cancer Patient

Desk News — Fri, 26 Dec 2025 17:00:19 +0530

Ahmedabad (Gujarat) [India], December 26: In a powerful example of how robotic surgery in India is transforming cancer care and giving new hope to patients, a 60-year-old man from Uttar Pradesh has successfully undergone a robotic-assisted partial nephrectomy for a large 8 cm kidney tumor, preserving his kidney and avoiding what was once considered unavoidable — complete kidney removal.

Given the size and complex location of the tumor, three surgeons independently recommended radical nephrectomy, the standard approach for such advanced cases, involving removal of the entire kidney. While effective in removing cancer, the procedure carries long-term implications, including reduced kidney function, increased risk of chronic kidney disease, and lifestyle limitations.

Understandably worried about the implications of losing a kidney, the patient approached Dr Rohan Patel, Senior Uro-Oncologist and Robotic Surgeon in Ahmedabad for an opinion.

Following a detailed evaluation that included high-resolution CT imaging and comprehensive kidney function tests, Dr. Patel and his multidisciplinary team decided to pursue a kidney-sparing strategy — a bold and technically demanding approach made possible through robotic-assisted surgery.

“This was a highly complex case,” said Dr. Patel.
“Most tumors of this size and position are treated with complete kidney removal. However, with modern imaging and robotic precision, we were able to carefully plan a partial nephrectomy where only the tumor was removed and the healthy kidney tissue preserved.”

Precision Through Technology

A critical aspect of the surgical planning involved 3D reconstruction of the tumor, created from advanced CT scans. This technology allowed the surgical team to study the tumor’s depth, blood supply, and relationship with critical kidney structures in extraordinary detail. Using this information, the team mapped a step-by-step surgical strategy designed to maximize cancer removal while protecting kidney function.

The surgery was performed using state-of-the-art da vinci robotic technology at Sterling Hospital, Ahmedabad, which offers the surgeon a magnified 3D view and robotic instruments capable of precise, stable movements beyond the limits of the human hand. This level of control enabled Dr. Patel to isolate the tumor, manage delicate blood vessels, and reconstruct the kidney with exceptional accuracy.

“Robotic surgery allows us to target only the diseased tissue while preserving vital kidney structures,” Dr. Patel explained.
“For a 60-year-old patient, maintaining kidney function is essential for long-term health. The technology significantly reduces blood loss, lowers complication rates, and accelerates recovery.”

Successful Outcome and Recovery

The surgery was completed successfully with minimal blood loss and no major complications. The patient recovered smoothly, experienced significantly less postoperative pain, and was able to resume normal activities within a short period. Follow-up imaging confirmed complete tumor removal with excellent preservation of kidney structure and function.

The patient’s remaining kidney tissue is functioning normally, eliminating the need for dialysis and reducing future health risks commonly associated with radical nephrectomy.

Redefining Kidney Cancer Treatment in India

This case represents a broader transformation in kidney cancer management. Traditionally, large tumors almost always required removal of the entire kidney. Today, with advancements in Robotic surgery in India , organ-preserving cancer surgery is increasingly becoming the preferred approach, even in complex cases.

“Robotic partial nephrectomy is rapidly becoming the standard of care in India for suitable kidney tumors,” said Dr. Patel.
“Patients benefit from faster recovery, fewer complications, better long-term kidney health, and a higher overall quality of life.”

A Message of Hope for Patients

For the patient from Uttar Pradesh, the decision to seek specialized care changed the course of his treatment — and his life. What once seemed like an unavoidable loss of an organ became an opportunity for healing with preservation.

His story stands as a testament to the importance of patient awareness, informed decision-making, and access to advanced medical technology. It highlights how modern surgical innovation, when combined with experienced hands, can offer hope where once there were only limited options.

Chronic Constipation Turns Life-Threatening; Medicover Doctors Save 65-Year-Old with Advanced Robotic Surgery

Desk News — Wed, 24 Dec 2025 19:30:13 +0530

Bengaluru (Karnataka) [India], December 24: A condition often dismissed as routine digestive discomfort nearly turned fatal for a 65-year-old man, highlighting the hidden dangers of long-standing constipation among India’s ageing population.

Mr. Guru Prasad, a resident of Bengaluru, had been living with chronic constipation and abdominal bloating for several years. When he suddenly developed severe abdominal pain and distension, he was rushed to Medicover Hospital, Whitefield, where specialists diagnosed him with sigmoid volvulus—a medical emergency in which the large intestine twists on itself, cutting off blood supply and risking bowel gangrene.

Sigmoid volvulus accounts for 5–8% of intestinal obstructions in India, with higher incidence among elderly men, patients with chronic constipation, and those with sedentary lifestyles. If not treated promptly, the condition can rapidly lead to infection, sepsis, and death.

The case was particularly high-risk as the patient had undergone recent cardiac surgery just three months earlier and was on blood-thinning medication, significantly increasing the risk of internal bleeding during surgery.

As an immediate life-saving step, the Medicover surgical gastroenterology team led by Dr. Kaushik Subramanian performed an emergency colonoscopic detorsion, successfully untwisting the bowel and restoring blood flow. A multidisciplinary cardiac team simultaneously optimized the patient’s heart condition and anticoagulation status.

Once stabilized, the patient underwent a robotic sigmoidectomy, a minimally invasive procedure that allowed precise removal of the affected bowel with reduced blood loss, faster recovery, and lower complication risk—an especially critical advantage for high-risk cardiac patients.

The patient recovered well post-surgery and was discharged with a structured plan to prevent recurrence of constipation and bowel obstruction.

Commenting on the case, Dr. Kaushik Subramanian, Consultant Surgical Gastroenterologist, Medicover Hospital, said:

“Constipation is often trivialized, especially in older adults, but long-standing bowel dysfunction can progress to life-threatening emergencies like sigmoid volvulus. Early evaluation, lifestyle correction, and timely surgical intervention can prevent catastrophic outcomes.”

Doctors emphasize that persistent constipation, abdominal distension, unexplained pain, or sudden worsening of symptoms should prompt immediate medical attention, particularly in elderly individuals and those with previous surgeries or chronic illnesses.

Aansh IVF Chandrapur First in Central India to Deploy Garbha.ai with 94 Percent Accuracy Rate

Desk News — Wed, 24 Dec 2025 13:00:14 +0530

Nagpur (Maharashtra) [India], December 24: In a landmark move for healthcare in the Vidarbha region, Aansh Hospital & IVF Center has officially announced a strategic partnership with Garbha.ai, becoming the first fertility center in Maharashtra and Central India to integrate this CDSCO-approved artificial intelligence.

While Garbha.ai has already established a footprint in major metros—with centers in Delhi, Chennai, Kolkata, and Hyderabad—this partnership marks the technology’s debut in the Vidarbha region. Under the expert guidance of Dr. Shweta Agarwal, a top-rated IVF specialist in Chandrapur and widely regarded as the best IVF specialist in Vidarbha, Aansh Hospital joins an exclusive league of elite centers nationwide offering this level of precision. As the sole provider of Garbha.ai’s comprehensive 5-Product AI Suite in the vast belt covering Vidarbha, Madhya Pradesh, and Chhattisgarh, the hospital effectively bridges the technological gap between Chandrapur and India’s metro capitals.

“Patients from Vidarbha previously had to look towards Mumbai or Hyderabad for such advanced care,” said Dr. Shweta Agarwal, Medical Director of Aansh IVF Chandrapur. “We have changed that. By bringing Garbha.ai to Chandrapur, we are proving that ‘Best in Class’ treatment is no longer the privilege of metro cities alone.”

AANSH x Garbha.ai: The Complete 5-Step Smart IVF Suite

For couples searching for one of the best IVF centers in Nagpur, Amravati, Chandrapur, and the wider Vidarbha region, Aansh Hospital has long been the preferred destination. Now, through the exclusive AANSH x Garbha.ai integration, the clinic moves beyond standard care to address the entire fertilization journey with Deep Learning at five critical stages:

AANSH x Garbha AI – Sperm Quality & Selection: Addressing the challenge of severe male infertility, this advanced AI platform identifies and selects the most viable sperm in real-time, significantly improving outcomes for ICSI procedures.
AANSH x Garbha AI – Oocyte Quality & Selection: Combating age-related egg quality decline, this AI assessment evaluates oocyte morphology and vitality before fertilization, optimizing protocols for better embryo creation.
AANSH x Garbha AI – EmbryoScore (CDSCO Approved): Moving beyond subjective manual grading, this is India’s first AI platform analyzing thousands of invisible micro-features to deliver 100% objective embryo grading with high predictive accuracy.
AANSH x Garbha AI – ERA (Endometrial Receptivity Analysis): Ensuring the uterus is ready for the embryo, this tool uses gene expression mapping to reveal the patient’s unique window of implantation, ensuring transfer at the exact right moment.
AANSH x Garbha AI – PGx (Pharmacogenomics): Replacing “one-size-fits-all” protocols, this genotyping test enables personalized infertility treatments by tailoring medication dosages to the patient’s specific genetic makeup (Precision Medicine).

AANSH X Garbha.ai: Proven Impact & Technological Edge

The integration of Garbha.ai at Aansh IVF Chandrapur isn’t just a technological upgrade; it delivers measurable improvements in patient outcomes:

94% Accuracy Rate: Far surpassing human evaluation in predicting embryo viability.
25% Increase in Implantation Rate: Significantly boosting success chances in the first attempt.
50% Reduced Cost of Treatment: By reducing the number of cycles needed to achieve pregnancy.
100% Objective Grading: Eliminating human subjectivity and bias from the selection process.

“Integrating Garbha.ai allows us to standardize our lab outcomes to a global level,” notes Aayush Agarwal, Embryologist & Chief of Hospital Administration. “By augmenting our clinical expertise with objective, data-driven analysis, we ensure that every embryo is evaluated on over a thousand invisible parameters, maximizing the success rate for our patients.”

Beyond these numbers, the choice of Garbha.ai offers distinct advantages for Indian patients that separate Aansh IVF from global competitors:

Regulatory Trust: Unlike imported tools with only FDA/CE marks, Garbha.ai is India’s first CDSCO-approved embryo grading solution, meeting specific Government of India safety standards.
Hardware-Agnostic Affordability: Unlike competitors requiring incubators costing crores, Garbha.ai is a software-first solution. This allows Aansh to offer elite technology without increasing patient costs.
Indian Demographics: The algorithms are trained on diverse datasets including Indian populations, ensuring precision tuned to our specific biological nuances.
Holistic “Full-Stack” Fertility: Most competitors offer isolated tools (only embryo grading). Garbha.ai provides an interconnected ecosystem covering Sperm, Egg, Embryo, Endometrium, and Genetics. This ensures no data silos and provides a complete 360-degree view of the patient’s fertility journey.
Precision Medicine & Customization: Through its PGx and ERA modules, Garbha.ai goes beyond simple selection. It allows the team to tailor medication dosages and transfer timings to the patient’s unique genetic makeup, addressing root causes of failure that standard “selection-only” tools might miss.

The Aansh Advantage: Clinical Expertise & Premium Care

Ultimately, technology is only as good as the hands that wield it. Aansh Hospital combines this world-class tech with the trusted leadership of Dr. Shweta Agarwal and a patient-first ecosystem that makes it the best gynecologist and IVF center in Vidarbha.

Visionary Leadership: Dr. Shweta Agarwal brings 30+ years of experience in Obstetrics and Gynecology. Widely regarded for her compassionate leadership, she specializes in managing high-risk pregnancies and complex cases like recurrent IVF failure and severe male infertility. Unlike centers that refer patients out after conception, she provides end-to-end care from conception to delivery.
Reverse Medical Tourism: Recognizing the exclusivity of this 94% accuracy technology, patients are now traveling to Chandrapur from major hubs like Nagpur, Pune, and Amravati, as well as surrounding districts like Gadchiroli, Wardha, and Adilabad. Aansh turns “hopeless” cases into success stories close to home.
Unmatched Value & Transparency: Seeking treatment in metros often adds ₹1 Lakh in hidden travel/hotel costs. Aansh offers 0% interest EMI options, making it the most affordable IVF center for families in the region. Furthermore, patients receive transparent, AI-generated reports explaining exactly why an embryo was chosen.
Priority & Emergency Support: Metro hospitals often suffer from overcrowding. Aansh offers “Priority Access,” providing dedicated time with Dr. Agarwal without the “assembly line” feeling. Plus, with 24/7 local emergency support, patients avoid the risk of traveling back to distant cities for follow-ups.
Concierge Services: To support the growing number of outstation patients, the hospital offers assistance with local accommodation and logistics, making the decision to travel to Chandrapur seamless and stress-free.

About Aansh Hospital & IVF Center Headquartered in Chandrapur, Aansh Hospital & IVF Center extends its premier care through a network of branches and consultation centers in Nagpur, Yavatmal, Gadchiroli, Adilabad, Asifabad, and Amravati.

Why Vedanta-Based Learning Is Replacing Self-Help for Stressed Professionals and Entrepreneurs

Desk News — Tue, 23 Dec 2025 17:00:45 +0530

Karnataka [India], December 23: Adhvaitha Conscious Society (ACS), a learning and community based organisation rooted in ancient Vedantic wisdom, has marked one year of its digital expansion through the “Adhvaitha” App. Introduced as a supporting platform for its structured programs and conscious community, the digital initiative has seen participation from over 1,000 seekers across the globe over the past year.

As stress, burnout, anxiety, mental health concerns, and lack of direction continue to rise among working professionals and entrepreneurs worldwide, there is growing recognition that motivation-driven self-help and productivity-focused personal development models often offer limited relief. While such approaches may improve short-term performance, many individuals report that they do not address deeper issues related to identity, inner conflict, and long-term fulfillment.

In this context, ancient wisdom systems such as Yoga and Vedanta are gaining renewed relevance for their focus on the inner foundations of human experience. Within this space, Adhvaitha Conscious Society has developed a structured learning model based on Vedantic principles through its framework known as the Conscious Creation Codex, designed to support clarity, mental resilience, and alignment in contemporary life.

The self-help industry has expanded steadily over the past two decades, offering tools centered on habits, mindset shifts, motivation, and performance optimization. While these methods have helped many individuals function better externally, a growing number of professionals continue to experience stress, emotional instability, and dissatisfaction despite consistent application of such techniques.

Ancient Vedanta approaches human challenges from a more fundamental level. Rather than focusing primarily on changing behavior(symptoms), it examines the nature of the self(root), patterns of the mind, and the relationship between awareness and action. From this perspective, stress, anxiety, and burnout are understood as outcomes of deeper inner misalignment rather than isolated issues.

Adhvaitha Conscious Society was founded by Sujan Setty, author of Decoding God, an architect by training and a lifelong seeker who now works as a Life Architect. The organization was established with the mission of modernizing, simplifying, and systematizing Vedantic wisdom so it can address challenges faced by professionals, entrepreneurs, and seekers in the modern world.
The organization operates through structured programs, guided learning pathways, and a growing global community of seekers engaging with Vedanta and Conscious Creation.

Unlike many personal development models that rely on motivation or discipline, ACS focuses on identity and Consciousness. Its learning systems are designed to help individuals understand underlying patterns related to roles, conditioning, and decision-making, and how these influence thoughts, emotions, and life outcomes.

At the core of ACS’s work is a framework known as Conscious Creation Codex. Based on Vedantic principles, the model explores how Consciousness (Brahma), the law of cause and effect (Karma), personal responsibility and purpose (Svadharma), and identity (Svabhava) interact to shape lived experience. The framework is presented as a structured process of self-inquiry, emotional regulation, and aligned action.

According to ACS, many individuals who engage with its programs are professionals and entrepreneurs operating in high-pressure environments marked by deadlines, digital exposure, and performance expectations. Participants often enter the learning ecosystem while experiencing stress, burnout, self-doubt, or a sense of stagnation despite external success.

Rather than offering short-term interventions, Vedanta-based learning emphasizes long-term clarity and inner stability by addressing underlying causes of inner conflict. This approach offers an alternative to recurring cycles of motivation and exhaustion reported by many individuals engaging with typical self-help content.

ACS delivers its learning through structured programs supported by a global conscious community. The Adhvaitha App functions as a digital interface within this ecosystem, providing access to learning modules, reflection practices, and community discussions, while the core focus remains on guided programs and collective learning.

Over the past year, ACS has observed growing participation from individuals across sectors such as technology, healthcare, education, entrepreneurship, and creative industries. Many participants engage with the programs alongside full-time careers, integrating learning into daily life.

As personal development continues to evolve, Vedanta-based learning systems—rooted in knowledge traditions developed over centuries and adapted through platforms such as Adhvaitha Conscious Society—indicate a shift toward deeper and more integrated approaches to mental well-being and life alignment.

Additional information on Conscious Creation and Vedanta is available on the Adhvaitha Conscious Society website (https://adhvaitha.com) and its official YouTube channel (https://www.youtube.com/@adhvaitha).

“Ashraya Trust Organises Mega Medical Camp in Kurnool, Serving Over 600 Patients”

Desk News — Tue, 23 Dec 2025 17:00:34 +0530

New Delhi [India], December 23: The Mega Medical Camp, organised on Sunday, December 21, concluded successfully under the divine guidance and Ashirwad of Guruji. The camp was conducted by Ashraya Trust and Siddhaganj, Kurnool, Andhra Pradesh, as a humble seva to society.

This first edition of the Mega Medical Camp witnessed the dedicated participation of 29 specialist doctors and benefited over 600 patients, who received comprehensive medical consultations, advanced diagnostic services such as ECG, X-ray, eye examinations, free medicines, and snacks packets.

More than 100 volunteers worked tirelessly for several days, around the clock, to ensure the smooth execution and success of this noble initiative. Their selfless dedication reflected the true spirit of seva inspired by Guruji’s teachings.

Guruji has extended His abundant Ashirwad to all those involved in this sacred service — including doctors, paramedical staff, volunteers, cooking staff, and every individual who contributed directly or indirectly — for making this Mega Medical Camp a memorable and meaningful success.

May this seva grow stronger and continue to serve humanity under Guruji’s grace.

Medical Camps – A Sacred Act of Seva

In our villages live simple hearts, silent struggles, and unspoken pain. Many endure illness not because treatment is unavailable, but because access, awareness, and affordability remain distant. To serve them is not charity—it is dharma.

A free medical camp is an offering at the feet of the Divine, where service becomes prayer and compassion becomes action.

The Need – Hearing the Unheard

In rural life, health is often sacrificed for survival. People walk long distances with pain, postpone treatment due to fear of expense, and accept suffering as fate.

The elderly remain unattended, women neglect their own wellbeing, and children grow without timely care. Diseases that could have been cured early become lifelong burdens.

A medical camp becomes God’s answer in human form—reaching those who wait in silence.

The Scope – Healing Body, Mind, and Spirit

A village medical camp is not merely a clinic; it is a space of reassurance and dignity.

• Compassionate consultations by doctors

• Early detection of hidden illnesses

• Diagnostic support and medicines

• Guidance on nutrition, hygiene, and lifestyle

• Special care for mothers, children, and elders

• Referrals and continued support where needed

Every stethoscope placed, every medicine given, every gentle word spoken carries healing beyond the physical.

The Benefits – Grace Flowing Through Seva

For the Villagers

• Relief from pain and fear

• Awareness that their lives matter

• Restoration of hope and confidence

• A feeling of being seen, heard, and cared for

For the Volunteers and Doctors

• Purification of intent through selfless action

• Blessings earned through silent service

• Inner fulfillment beyond professional achievement

For Society

• A healthier, harmonious community

• Reduced suffering and inequality

• Strengthening of values rooted in compassion and unity

The Higher Purpose

When Medical camps are conducted with sincerity and continuity, they awaken a deeper truth: Healing is divine work.

To serve the sick is to serve God.

To heal a village is to heal the nation.

To offer care without expectation is true worship.

May every free medical camp become a yajna of compassion, where hands serve, hearts soften, and grace flows endlessly.

In Guru Seva

Why We Tend to Fall Sick More in Winter — and How Brands like Butterfly Ayurveda Support Seasonal Wellness

Desk News — Sat, 20 Dec 2025 17:30:21 +0530

New Delhi [India], December 19: As the air turns crisp and temperatures drop, many of us brace for the familiar winter ailments – colds, coughs, seasonal flu, sore throats, sluggish digestion, and fatigue. From the viewpoint of the ancient Indian healing system Ayurveda, this seasonal vulnerability is not accidental – winter brings a specific set of challenges to our bodily balance, especially around immunity and digestion.

The Doshas, Winter and Immunity

In Ayurveda, winter corresponds to the season of ‘Hemanta Ritu’ and the early period of ‘Shishira Ritu’. With the gradual shift in the season and weather conditions, the two doshas – Vata and Kapha increase in the atmosphere leading to a tendency of imbalance of these doshas within the body. Vata aggravates because of cold and dryness, leading to dryness of skin, stiff joints, and general cold sensitivity; Kapha tends to accumulate due to heaviness and reduced activity, which can result in sluggishness, congestion, mucus buildup and respiratory issues.

Ayurveda holds that immunity – referred to as ‘Vyadhikshamatva’ (the body’s resistance to disease) – depends significantly on balanced doshas, strong digestion (Agni), and healthy tissues (Dhatus). When doshas are imbalanced and Agni is weak, Vyadhikshamatva takes a hit and we become more susceptible to seasonal illnesses.

How Winter Affects Immunity and Physical Health:

Because of the shifts in dosha balance during winter, several physiological stress points emerge:

Weakened digestive fire (Agni): Cold weather, heavy or cold foods, and reduced physical activity can dampen digestion. Poor digestion can lead to the accumulation of toxins (called “Ama” in Ayurveda), which in turn undermines immunity.
Respiratory vulnerability: Increased Kapha in the atmosphere lowers the quality of the air we inhale, along with cold and dryness, leading to susceptibility to colds, coughs, and respiratory infections.
Lower resilience to infections: With weakened Agni, disturbed doshas and accumulation of Ama, the body’s capacity to resist infection – i.e. Vyadhikshamatva – reduces.
Dryness, lethargy, and a slower metabolism: Vata and Kapha imbalances can bring dryness (skin, mucous membranes), joint stiffness, and fatigue; Kapha accumulation can slow metabolism and make the body sluggish. Together, these reduce overall vitality.

Akshi Khandelwal, Co-founder, Butterfly Ayurveda & Cafe Swasthya

What Ayurveda Recommends: A Winter Wellness Routine (Ritucharya + Dinacharya):

Ayurveda doesn’t see winter as a season of weakness – but of opportunity. With the right routine (Ritucharya) and daily discipline (Dinacharya), we can strengthen immunity, digestion, and resilience. Here are some core recommendations:

Warm, nourishing food and drinks – soups, stews, warm milk spiced with turmeric or ginger (a classic “golden milk”), herbal teas with warming herbs – help keep the body warm, support digestion, and nourish tissues.

Use of healthy fats and oils: a light daily warm-oil massage (Abhyanga) with sesame or herbal oils helps balance Vata, improves circulation, nourishes the skin and helps retain warmth. Warm baths or showers also support circulation and comfort.

Consuming herbal tonics, decoctions or Rasayana – herbs and formulations known to boost immunity, respiratory and digestive health. Key herbs commonly recommended for winter immunity include Tulsi (holy basil), Ashwagandha, Mulethi (licorice), Guduchi (giloy), Turmeric, and Amalaki (Indian gooseberry) – all known for immunity-boosting, anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties.

Moderate exercise, sufficient sleep, and stress management – gentle yoga or walking, pranayama (breathing exercises), mindfulness or meditation help maintain vitality, circulation and immune balance.

Avoid cold, heavy, stale or processed foods, raw salads or iced drinks – such habits may further weaken Agni and disturb dosha balance. Preference should be for warm, freshly cooked, easy-to-digest meals.

Winter Isn’t Just a Challenge – It’s an Opportunity for Rejuvenation

In fact, Ayurveda often considers winter a season ideally suited for rejuvenation (Rasayana) therapies. With stronger digestion (when managed properly), the body can absorb nourishment and herbs more effectively – thereby improving tissue strength, vitality and immune resilience.

Rather than dreading the cold months as a time of sickness, adopting the right winter-specific routine can make buthem a time of strengthening – physically, immunologically and mentally.

Given this context, a brand like Butterfly Ayurveda – with its range of Ayurvedic medicines, herbal teas and immunity-supporting offerings – becomes relevant for those seeking to support their wellness during winter.

A Closer Look at Butterfly Ayurveda’s Ayurvedic Medicines for Winter Wellness

Butterfly Ayurveda’s portfolio of Ayurvedic medicines is particularly useful because many winter complaints – such as cough, cold, weak digestion, lethargy, lowered immunity, or sluggish metabolism – are exactly the areas their formulations address.

One of their most popular offerings is I-Immune Capsules, a broad-spectrum immunity support supplement made using herbs like Guduchi, Turmeric, Ashwagandha, Mulethi, Triphala, and Papaya Leaf. These herbs are traditionally known to enhance the body’s defense mechanisms, support respiratory health, aid recovery after infections, and help improve platelet count. During winter, when respiratory infections and low vitality are common, such a formulation can act as a supportive daily tonic.

For those prone to cough, congestion or throat irritation, Butterfly Ayurveda offers Bronchiofly Sugar-free Cough Syrup, a herbal blend designed to soothe the throat, expel phlegm, reduce inflammation of the bronchioles, and ease breathing discomfort. This aligns well with the Kapha aggravation seen in the colder months.

Butterfly Ayurveda’s unique formulation of Masala Chai helps with shortness of breath, improves appetite and aids digestion and helps fight infections, cold, and cough, and boosts overall immunity Herbs like clove and Banaphsha help improve respiratory health, boost digestive fire and work as a shield to protect against the cold and heavy winter conditions.

Digestive and intestinal strength is another winter challenge, and products like Colonofly Syrup (for constipation and sluggish bowel movement) and Livofly Syrup (for supporting liver function and detoxification) can help maintain healthy metabolism and prevent Ama accumulation – one of the key Ayurvedic triggers for illness.

Joint stiffness, body pains and Vata-related discomfort are also common in winter. Butterfly Ayurveda’s Ortho-Heal Oil and Capsules offer relief through herbs that support joint mobility, warmth, and muscular comfort, complementing practices like warm baths or oil massages.

They also have formulations like Pyrexofly for fever and body ache relief, which may be helpful during sudden seasonal infections.

If included with a mindful lifestyle – warm, nourishing food; warm oil massages; moderate exercise; and adequate rest – such Ayurvedic supports may help fortify the body’s natural defences, making winter months less about vulnerability and more about mindful wellness.

Leading the Future of Cardiac Care: Dr. Brajmohan Singh’s Journey in Advanced Heart Surgery

Desk News — Mon, 15 Dec 2025 20:00:24 +0530

Bhavnagar (Gujarat) [India], December 15: In the realm of cardiac surgery, where precision meets compassion, Dr. Brajmohan Singh stands as a beacon of excellence. With over 6,000 successful cardiac procedures and 15+ years of distinguished service at HCG Hospitals, this renowned cardiothoracic and vascular surgeon has established himself as Gujarat’s foremost expert in BIMA bypass surgery and minimally invasive cardiac techniques.

A Distinguished Medical Journey

Dr. Brajmohan Singh’s path to becoming one of India’s leading cardiac surgeons began with rigorous training at renowned medical universities in Delhi and Jaipur. His specialized education in cardiothoracic and vascular surgery laid the foundation for what would become a career marked by innovation, exceptional patient outcomes, and an unwavering commitment to advancing cardiac care standards.

Currently serving at HCG Hospitals in both Bhavnagar and Ahmedabad, Dr. Singh has built a practice that seamlessly blends cutting-edge surgical techniques with compassionate patient care. His dedication to excellence has made him the surgeon of choice for patients seeking the highest quality cardiac intervention across Gujarat and beyond.

Pioneering BIMA Bypass Surgery: The Gold Standard

At the heart of Dr. Singh’s surgical expertise lies his mastery of BIMA bypass surgery – a technique he champions as the gold standard in long-term cardiac care. Unlike conventional bypass procedures, BIMA surgery utilizes both internal mammary arteries for coronary grafting, delivering superior results that stand the test of time.

“I believe in combining surgical precision with minimal trauma,” Dr. Singh explains. “Every patient deserves the most advanced cardiac care with the least invasive approach for optimal recovery and long-term outcomes.”

The numbers speak for themselves: BIMA grafts demonstrate patency rates exceeding 90% even after two decades – a remarkable achievement that translates into fewer reoperations, reduced risk of recurrent cardiac events, and significantly improved quality of life for patients. Where traditional vein grafts may deteriorate within 10-15 years, the bilateral internal mammary arteries maintain their integrity and function for decades, providing patients with durable, long-lasting solutions.

Comprehensive Cardiac Surgical Expertise

Dr. Singh’s surgical repertoire extends well beyond BIMA bypass, encompassing a full spectrum of advanced cardiac procedures:

Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting (CABG): Dr. Singh is an expert in beating-heart surgery, performing coronary bypass procedures without the need for heart-lung machines. This advanced technique reduces surgical trauma, minimizes complications, and accelerates patient recovery.

Minimally Invasive Cardiac Surgery: Embracing the latest advances in surgical technology, Dr. Singh performs complex cardiac procedures through smaller incisions, resulting in reduced pain, shorter hospital stays, and faster return to normal activities.

Advanced Valve Procedures: His expertise includes both repair and replacement of cardiac valves using mechanical and biological options, tailored to each patient’s unique needs and lifestyle.

Aortic Aneurysm Treatment: Dr. Singh provides comprehensive care for this serious vascular condition using both advanced surgical and endovascular techniques.

Peripheral Vascular Disease Management: His vascular surgery expertise extends to treating peripheral arterial disease through angioplasty, stenting, and bypass procedures.

Philosophy of Patient-Centered Care

What distinguishes Dr. Singh is not merely his surgical skill but his holistic approach to patient care. He views each patient as an individual with unique needs, concerns, and goals. This philosophy drives his commitment to selecting surgical techniques that offer optimal long-term outcomes while minimizing short-term discomfort and recovery time.

His practice is built on three pillars:

Surgical Excellence: Leveraging over 6,000 successful procedures’ worth of experience to deliver consistently outstanding outcomes.

Minimal Invasiveness: Choosing techniques that achieve therapeutic goals with the least possible trauma to the patient’s body.

Long-Term Thinking: Prioritizing solutions that provide lasting benefits, not just immediate fixes.

Recognition and Achievements

Dr. Singh’s contributions to cardiac surgery have earned him widespread recognition:

Pioneering Surgical Milestones: Setting new standards in cardiac surgery through innovative techniques and exceptional outcomes
Complex Case Expertise: Successfully performing intricate redo valve replacement procedures that few surgeons undertake
BIMA Surgery Leadership: Recognised as a leading authority in bilateral internal mammary artery bypass surgery
Minimally Invasive Innovation: At the forefront of adopting and advancing minimally invasive cardiac techniques
Outstanding Patient Outcomes: Maintaining an exceptional track record of successful procedures with minimal complications
Compassionate Care Award: Recognised for exceptional patient care and medical practice that prioritizes patient well-being

State-of-the-Art Facilities

Practising at HCG Hospitals in both Bhavnagar and Ahmedabad, Dr Singh has access to cutting-edge technology and infrastructure that enable him to deliver world-class cardiac care. Both facilities feature:

Advanced cardiac catheterisation laboratories
State-of-the-art operating theatres equipped for complex cardiac procedures
Comprehensive intensive care units with cardiac monitoring capabilities
24/7 emergency cardiac services
Multidisciplinary teams supporting complete patient care

Impact Beyond the Operating Room

Dr. Singh’s influence extends beyond individual patient care. Through his work, he is:

Raising Standards: Setting benchmarks for cardiac surgical excellence in Gujarat and demonstrating what’s possible with advanced techniques
Educating Patients: Helping patients understand their options and make informed decisions about their cardiac care
Advancing the Field: Contributing to the broader adoption of superior techniques like BIMA bypass surgery
Building Trust: Creating a practice where patients feel confident, informed, and cared for throughout their surgical journey

The Human Touch in High-Tech Surgery

Despite working with advanced technology and complex surgical techniques, Dr Singh never loses sight of the human element in healthcare. Patients consistently note his ability to explain complex medical concepts in understandable terms, his patience in answering questions, and his genuine concern for their well-being.

“Every patient who comes through my door has a story, a family, and a life they want to return to,” Dr. Singh reflects. “My job is not just to perform surgery but to help them get back to living their lives fully and confidently.”

Looking Ahead

As cardiac surgery continues to evolve with new technologies and techniques, Dr. Singh remains committed to staying at the forefront of innovation. His dedication to continuous learning and improvement ensures that his patients consistently benefit from the latest advances in cardiac care.

His vision for the future includes expanded access to advanced cardiac procedures, further refinement of minimally invasive techniques, and continued advocacy for BIMA bypass surgery as the preferred approach for suitable candidates.

A Legacy of Lives Transformed

Behind the 6,000+ procedures, the awards, and the recognition lies the most important measure of Dr Singh’s success: the lives he has transformed. Patients who return to their families, careers, and passions after life-saving surgery. Individuals who enjoy decades of quality life thanks to superior surgical techniques. Families are given hope when facing serious cardiac disease.

This is the true legacy of Dr. Brajmohan Singh – not just as a skilled surgeon, but as a physician who combines technical mastery with genuine compassion, transforming the landscape of cardiac care one patient at a time.

About Dr. Brajmohan Singh

Dr. Brajmohan Singh is a renowned cardiothoracic and vascular surgeon with over 6,000 successful cardiac procedures and 15+ years of experience at HCG Hospitals in Bhavnagar and Ahmedabad, Gujarat.

Man on a Mission: How Dr. Dinesh Tiwari Is Transforming the Trauma Belt of North Gujarat

Desk News — Sat, 13 Dec 2025 12:00:27 +0530

In the rapidly growing medical landscape of North Gujarat, one name has quietly—but consistently—emerged as a symbol of trust in the most critical moments of life: Dr. Dinesh Tiwari, Consultant Neurosurgeon at Pluto Hospital, Himmatnagar.

His journey is not defined by awards, headlines, or academic showcases.

It is defined by passion, persistence, and a deep commitment to saving lives in one of the most underserved trauma belts of Gujarat.

From a Middle-Class UP Household to North Gujarat’s First Full-Time Neurosurgeon

Born in a simple middle-class family—father a teacher, mother a homemaker—Dr. Tiwari’s path to neurosurgery was neither planned nor guided.

“Coming from a non-medical background, there was no roadmap,” he shares. “But passion makes its own path.”

After his schooling across UP and Mumbai, he pursued MBBS, followed by MS from Vadodara Medical College, and finally MCh in Neurosurgery from V.S. Hospital, Ahmedabad, training under renowned neurosurgeon Dr. Mukesh Patel.

His early professional years took him across India:

Consultant Neurosurgeon at Medistar
Assistant Professor at Heritage Institute of Medical Sciences, Varanasi
A five-year innings at Jupiter Brain & Spine Trauma Hospital, Himmatnagar, where he worked full-time in a high-intensity trauma setup

“Trauma cases were avoided out of fear. I wanted to change that.”

Identifying a Critical Gap in North Gujarat

When he first came to Himmatnagar, Dr. Tiwari noticed a glaring gap—there was no high-end trauma center capable of handling critical brain and spine injuries.

“Doctors would avoid taking up severe trauma cases simply because the facilities didn’t exist. Mortality fear was real.”

This sparked a mission—to build a trauma ecosystem where no family must rush to Ahmedabad in panic.

Pluto Hospital: A Game-Changer for North Gujarat

In the last few years, Dr. Tiwari has been instrumental in building Pluto Hospital, a technologically advanced trauma care center—at par with top hospitals in Ahmedabad.

Pluto introduced several firsts to the region:

128-Slice CT Scan Machine capable of advanced cardiac & neuro imaging
Robotic Knee Replacement System
High-end trauma infrastructure designed for speed, precision, and survival

Today, Pluto stands as North Gujarat’s most high-tech trauma facility, handling complex neurosurgical emergencies with remarkable outcomes.

A Surgeon No One Can Beat in Trauma Care

Dr. Tiwari says it with simplicity, not arrogance:

“In trauma and critical cases, no one can beat me.”

His confidence comes not from awards but from:

Thousands of surgeries
15+ years of hands-on trauma experience
Managing high-complexity cases with consistently excellent outcomes

Patients across Sabarkantha, Aravalli, and even South Rajasthan now travel to Himmatnagar specifically to seek his care.

Changing the Public Mindset: Awareness Over Assumptions

Dr. Tiwari feels strongly about the lack of public awareness in medical emergencies.

“People ask a thousand questions before buying a bus ticket—but when it comes to health, they don’t ask the doctor about facilities, equipment, or experience.”

His vision includes:

Basic CPR awareness for common people
Training camps in collaboration with Himmatnagar Medical College
Educating citizens to choose high-end trauma centers instead of nearby low-facility clinics

“Every person should know basic life support. It can save lives even before the doctor arrives.”

The Next 20 Years: Making Himmatnagar a Medical Hub

Dr. Tiwari sees the next two decades as decisive for North Gujarat:

“In the coming 20 years, healthcare here should become world-class. People shouldn’t have to travel outside the district for critical care.”

His mission is simple but powerful:

To build a healthcare ecosystem so strong that no life is lost because help was far away.

Beyond Surgery: A Passion for Motivation & Education

Outside the OT, Dr. Tiwari dreams of becoming a motivational speaker, helping young people believe that background is not a barrier.

His personal line is simple:

“If you have passion, everything is possible.”

He also indulges in his love for stock market and investments, calling it his “mental relaxation zone.”

Conclusion: A Man Rewriting the Trauma Story of North Gujarat

In a world where many doctors chase titles, awards, and recognition, Dr. Dinesh Tiwari is quietly building something far more meaningful—a safe, reliable trauma ecosystem for lakhs of people across North Gujarat.

He is not just a neurosurgeon.

He is a mission-driven leader, a man who turned a gap into a vision and a vision into a reality that is already saving countless lives.

For the people of Himmatnagar and nearby districts, he represents hope in their most desperate moments.

For Gujarat’s medical fraternity, he represents an example of what passion-driven healthcare can achieve.

Dr Khizer Ahmed and Dr Namrata Sugandhi Announce National Initiative to Strengthen Women’s Health Awareness

Desk News — Fri, 12 Dec 2025 21:00:20 +0530

Bengaluru (Karnataka) [India], December 12: Digital influencer and entrepreneur Dr Khizer Ahmed, through his company Quick Health Solutions, has partnered with Bengaluru-based gynaecologist Dr Namrata Sugandhi to launch a national initiative focused on improving women’s health awareness across India. The collaboration aims to expand access to accurate, practical and timely medical information using a mix of digital communication and community outreach.

According to the organisers, the initiative responds to persistent gaps in preventive health literacy, early detection practices and general awareness around reproductive and hormonal health. They noted that a significant portion of women across the country continue to rely on inconsistent sources for health information, making structured education an important requirement. The program intends to reach individuals in both urban and rural regions through formats that are accessible and easy to understand.

Quick Health Solutions, owned by Dr Khizer Ahmed, will serve as the operational and communication arm of the initiative. The company works within the digital health awareness space and will support the rollout by developing content frameworks, outreach channels and scalable distribution models. The organisers stated that this structure will allow the campaign to maintain continuity and reach diverse demographic groups.

Dr Khizer Ahmed’s role in the initiative focuses on communication strategy and digital engagement. Known for his presence across lifestyle, wellness and public-interest content, he is expected to use his platforms to extend the campaign’s reach and simplify complex medical topics for the general audience. The team said his involvement will help ensure that credible health information is distributed through channels that already attract high engagement from women across different age groups.

The medical direction of the initiative is led by Dr Namrata Sugandhi, a practising gynaecologist with extensive experience in public health education. She has previously delivered numerous talks on menstrual hygiene, cervical screening, breast health, PCOD, adolescent wellbeing and pregnancy care. Her role involves ensuring the accuracy of all health-related content and guiding the selection of topics for various phases of the initiative.

The organisers explained that the first phase of the program will focus on preventive health and early detection. This includes digital modules explaining screening guidelines, common symptoms associated with reproductive and hormonal disorders, practical hygiene practices and basic information for adolescents. The aim is to make medical guidance more approachable and to encourage women to seek consultations without hesitation when they notice concerning symptoms.

Later phases will introduce interactive elements such as live sessions, expert conversations and extended awareness series. Quick Health Solutions will coordinate these formats to ensure consistent messaging and ease of access for viewers. The team also plans to explore partnerships with schools, colleges, NGOs and workplace wellness programs to strengthen on-ground engagement.

A central objective of the initiative is to counter misinformation. The organisers highlighted that online platforms often circulate unsupported health claims, which can influence decision-making and delay proper treatment. By combining professional medical guidance with a structured digital distribution network, the initiative aims to create clearer pathways for women seeking reliable information.

The campaign also intends to normalise discussions around topics that are frequently overlooked due to cultural hesitation, including reproductive changes, hormonal conditions and adolescent health issues. The organisers said the content will prioritise clarity and practicality, encouraging conversations within families and communities that support informed choices.

Although the initiative is primarily digital in its early stages, the organisers noted that offline components may be added. These may include awareness camps, community meetings and youth-focused programs conducted in collaboration with local organisations. The team said that a hybrid model will help the initiative maintain relevance in areas where digital access is limited.

Both leaders described the collaboration as a long-term effort aimed at building a more informed health landscape for women. They said the initiative is not designed as a short campaign but as an evolving platform that will adapt to emerging needs and feedback from participants. Quick Health Solutions will continue to provide the operational structure required for this continuity.

Further details regarding upcoming phases, expert participation and extended outreach activities will be shared as the initiative progresses. The organisers expressed confidence that the combined strengths of digital communication, medical expertise and structured content delivery will contribute meaningfully to women’s health awareness across the country.

● Touch-Up Sessions

A touch-up session, usually done 6–8 weeks after the initial procedure, helps refine the color, enhance evenness, and ensure long-lasting results. It’s a crucial step that perfects the final look and ensures your Lip Blush heals beautifully and stays vibrant for months.

What to Expect During Your BrowMaster Session

Consultation

Your session begins with a detailed consultation where the artist understands your goals, examines your natural lip tone, and evaluates your undertones. This helps in choosing a shade that complements your skin and enhances your natural lip color perfectly.

Numbing

To ensure a comfortable experience, a high-quality medical-grade numbing cream is applied. This minimizes any discomfort during the procedure, making the entire process smooth and gentle.

Lip Mapping

Before the pigment is applied, the artist carefully maps your lips to subtly define the natural shape. This step ensures symmetry and balance without making the lips look overdrawn or unnatural.

Pigment Application

Using ultra-fine PMU needles, pigment is gently implanted into the lips. The technique is soft and controlled, creating a natural, diffused tint rather than a harsh outline, resulting in beautifully blushed lips.

Aftercare Guidance

Once the procedure is complete, you’ll receive detailed aftercare instructions to support proper healing. These guidelines help you maintain hydration, prevent irritation, and ensure your color settles evenly for long-lasting, flawless results.

Healing & Aftercare

Healing usually takes 4–7 days, with mild dryness or flaking being completely normal.
Full color settles within 4–6 weeks.

You’ll receive complete guidance on:

What to avoid
How to moisturize
Touch-up requirements

Proper aftercare ensures beautiful and long-lasting results.

Sterling Hospital, Ahmedabad, Saves a 15-Year-Old Girl from Life-Threatening Complications of Severe Falciparum Malaria through Expert Multidisciplinary Care

Desk News — Thu, 11 Dec 2025 16:30:10 +0530

Ahmedabad (Gujarat) [India], December 10: In an inspiring example of medical excellence, doctors at Sterling Hospital, Gurukul, Ahmedabad, have saved the life of a 15-year-old girl who was battling severe Plasmodium falciparum malaria and multiple organ failure. The teenager was rushed from Rajasthan to Sterling Hospital in an extremely critical condition, struggling to breathe and dependent on ventilator support. She was diagnosed with falciparum malaria that had caused acute kidney injury, lung damage, and multi-organ complications. Under the expert care of Dr Sonal Dalal and Dr Amrish Patel (Pulmonologist & Critical Care Specialist), the ICU team initiated rapid, advanced treatment, including dialysis and specialised critical care support. She remained on a ventilator for 12 days and showed steady improvement with round-the-clock monitoring.

Thanks to the collective efforts of the critical care team, the young patient made a remarkable recovery and was discharged after 18 days of intensive medical management. Sterling Hospital officials stated that the case highlights the importance of early diagnosis, timely referral, and access to advanced critical care in managing severe malaria cases

Sterling Hospital, Ahmedabad’s Dr Amrish Patel (Pulmonologist & Critical Care Specialist) explained that when the patient arrived, her oxygen levels were dangerously low, and she was struggling to breathe. She had been shifted from Rajasthan on ventilator support due to her fragile condition. The team immediately initiated specialised treatment to stabilise her. She was diagnosed with falciparum malaria, which had led to kidney damage, lung complications, and multi-organ involvement. After dialysis and medical management, she remained on ventilator support for 12 days, during which her life was saved through advanced care administered by the critical care team.

Dr. Amrish Patel (Pulmonologist & Critical Care Specialist) added that a bronchoscopy was performed to clear the secretions from her lungs. An essential step that further contributed to her recovery. As her condition improved, the ventilator support was gradually removed, and she was shifted to a normal room. By then, she had entered the recovery phase. After approximately 18 days of treatment, her life was saved through advanced care, and she was discharged in a stable and healthy condition.

Dr. Sonal Dalal said that Sterling Hospitals has successfully treated many high-risk patients over the years. She stated that the credit for this case goes to the coordinated efforts of the entire medical staff. Being a multispecialty hospital ensures that in any emergency, specialists are readily available. In this case as well, the girl’s life was saved through advanced care, supported by Sterling Hospitals’ clinical excellence, 24/7 medical support, advanced infrastructure, and exceptional teamwork.

How Dangerous is Falciparum Malaria?

Dr. Amrish Patel noted that while nearly 90% of patients recover quickly, around 10% can develop life-threatening complications. This particular case fell into the critical category. Given the condition in which the girl was admitted, her survival and recovery highlight how her life was saved through advanced care provided by the highly skilled medical team. Sterling Hospitals’ multispecialty facilities ensured that every required treatment was available immediately, enabling her recovery despite the severity of the case.

Along with Dr Sonal Dalal and Dr Amrish Patel, Dr Rutul and Dr Ishaanee played a major role in dialysis management. ICU Registrars Dr Saif, Dr Rishabh, Dr Arpita, and Dr Nishant, along with the physiotherapy team, nursing staff, Dr Milan, and the entire medical team, ensured round-the-clock care, ultimately ensuring that her life was saved through advanced care.

IVF In Chandrapur: Why Couples From Across Vidarbha Choose Aansh IVF With Dr Shweta Agarwal

Desk News — Tue, 09 Dec 2025 18:30:25 +0530

Nagpur (Maharashtra) [India], December 9: In an era where lifestyle changes are rewriting the rules of family planning, Dr. Shweta Agarwal’s Aansh IVF in Chandrapur has established itself as a preferred destination for couples seeking advanced fertility solutions in Central India.

For decades, access to advanced infertility treatment was largely confined to metropolitan cities. However, the narrative is shifting. With rising stress levels and lifestyle changes, infertility has become a pressing concern in Tier-2 and Tier-3 cities.

For couples in Chandrapur, Gadchiroli, Wardha, Yavatmal, Adilabad, Kagaznagar, Sirpur, Asifabad, and surrounding regions, a diagnosis often meant expensive travel to metros like Nagpur or Hyderabad. This frequently resulted in weeks off work, navigating unfamiliar cities, and enduring the emotional isolation of being away from family support systems.

Aansh IVF was established to address this critical gap. Often cited as the best IVF center in Chandrapur—and supported by a consistent 4.9 rating on Google reviews—the center ensures geography is no longer a barrier to parenthood. Positioned as a central hub, the clinic serves nearby towns like Ballarpur, Warora, Bhadravati, Bramhapuri, Mul, Rajura, Ghugus, and Gadchandur, as well as connecting tehsils like Saoli, Sindewahi, and Nagbhid. For many, the facility is just a convenient short drive or a direct train/bus journey away, transforming what was once a stressful metro trip into a manageable day visit.

World-Class Science & A One-Stop Solution

To maintain its standing as a top fertility clinic, Aansh IVF prioritizes technological infrastructure that rivals metropolitan centers and is an ISO certified facility.

The facility is equipped with advanced machinery and features an AI and IoT-enabled laboratory, designed to maintain precise environmental conditions that support higher success rates. The comprehensive suite of services covers complex procedures such as IVF, ICSI, Freeze-Thaw cycles, Blastocyst culture, and TESE. Beyond assisted reproduction, the center provides specialized care for female infertility through Laparoscopy, Hysteroscopy, and holistic PCOD management.

Functioning as a One-Stop Solution, the center addresses the logistical stress often associated with treatment. By housing a fully stocked in-house pharmacy and advanced diagnostics under one roof, patients can access blood tests, ultrasounds, and medications in a single location, streamlining the treatment cycle.

The Human Touch: Dr. Shweta Agarwal

The clinical team is led by Dr. Shweta Agarwal, a highly respected name in the region. With over 30 years of experience spanning gynecology, obstetrics, and high-risk pregnancies, she is widely recognized as a leading fertility doctor in the area. Having previously established a successful IVF center in Udaipur, Rajasthan, Dr. Agarwal brings decades of reproductive expertise to Chandrapur.

Continuity of Care: Conception to Delivery

A frequent challenge in franchise-based fertility chains is the rotation of doctors, which can lead to fragmented care. Additionally, many IVF centers discharge patients once the pregnancy is confirmed (typically at 3 months), requiring them to transition to a new gynecologist.

At Aansh IVF, the approach is different. Dr. Shweta Agarwal provides end-to-end personalized care. As an experienced Obstetrician, she offers seamless High-Risk Pregnancy Support, guiding patients through IVF protocols, monitoring the pregnancy, and remaining available to deliver the baby. This continuity is particularly valuable for IVF pregnancies, which require specialized monitoring.

Beyond Treatment: A Holistic & Private Experience

Recognizing that fertility treatment is as much emotional as it is medical, the center has structured its services to include:

Privacy and Confidentiality: Understanding that social stigma remains a concern in smaller cities, Aansh IVF emphasizes discreet consultations and strict data privacy, ensuring patient confidentiality.
Holistic Approach: The clinical team adopts a holistic approach, integrating dietary guidance, BMI management, and mental wellness counseling to help optimize the patient’s health for conception.
Outstation Patient Support: For families traveling from distances like Adilabad, Asifabad, or Gadchiroli, the patient care team assists in arranging safe and affordable accommodation nearby, simplifying logistics for outstation visitors.

Financial Integrity: Transparent Pricing & 0% EMI

A common concern for families seeking fertility care is the complexity of pricing structures often found in the industry. It is not uncommon for “base rates” to exclude essential components like injections, leading to unexpected costs later.

Aansh IVF differentiates itself through a policy of transparency. The center’s IVF packages are all-inclusive, covering the full cost of the cycle—including injections, disposables, anesthesia, oocyte pickup, and embryo transfer. The quoted price is intended to be final, preventing financial surprises.

To further support accessibility, Aansh IVF offers a 0% interest EMI option. This allows families to access the best IVF treatment available to them without the immediate burden of heavy upfront payments.

Giving Back: Free Consultations & Second Opinions

In an effort to make expert advice more accessible, the center offers free consultation slots for couples seeking guidance and free second opinions for those already in treatment elsewhere who may have concerns about their progress.

These slots are available every Saturday from 10:00 AM to 11:00 AM. (Note: Slots are limited; prior booking is recommended.)

Celebrating Life: The ‘Baby Meet’

The impact of the center’s work was recently highlighted during its Anniversary Celebration and “Baby Meet”—a reunion attended by hundreds of families from across Vidarbha, all of whom conceived under the care of Dr. Shweta Agarwal.

For current patients, such events serve as a source of encouragement, showcasing real-world success stories. It underscores the long-term relationship the center maintains with families well beyond the treatment phase.

Ethics, Integrity, and the Future

Aansh IVF operates with a strict ethical framework. Notably, it is one of the very few centers in the entire Vidarbha region to be officially recognized as a Registered ART Level 2 Clinic and ART Bank. This certification under the ART Law (Department of Health Research, Ministry of Health & Family Welfare, Government of India) makes it one of the select few facilities legally authorized to perform advanced IVF procedures.

The center adheres to all regulations, including a zero-tolerance policy towards sex selection. Looking ahead, the goal is to position Chandrapur as a regional healthcare hub, serving as a center of excellence for Wardha, Yavatmal, Gadchiroli, and Adilabad.

For couples considering fertility treatment, the consensus is clear: Timely evaluation is critical to success. With Aansh IVF, advanced medical science is now available closer to home.

Indian healthcare ready to tackle all fevers, but must stay vigilant against emerging infectious threats, say experts

Desk News — Tue, 09 Dec 2025 12:00:20 +0530

Bengaluru (Karnataka) [India], December 9: The 8th edition of FeFCon (Fever Foundation Conference) concluded today after two days of scientific deliberations, bringing together leading clinicians, researchers and public-health experts from across India under the aegis of the Fever Foundation of India in collaboration with Micro Labs Ltd.

The conference explored a wide range of topics to advance fever care in India, including modern approaches to diagnosis and management, distinguishing infectious from non-infectious causes, and advances in pediatric and critical-care management. Sessions highlighted disease surveillance efforts such as measles and rubella elimination, updates on common infections like dengue and respiratory illnesses, rational antibiotic use, public-health prevention strategies, and managing complex fever cases—reflecting the integration of technology, clinical expertise, and evidence-based practices in modern fever management.

Reflecting on the proceedings, Prof. Dr M D Ravi, Professor of Pediatrics and Chairman of the Clinical Development Services Agency – Centre for Clinical Research and Excellence (CDSA–CCRE), (Govt. of India), said, “Indian doctors and the healthcare ecosystem are well-prepared to manage fevers of all types, as demonstrated during the COVID-19 pandemic. However, with ongoing threats from avian influenza, swine flu, and other emerging infectious diseases, it is crucial to continuously update knowledge, strengthen surveillance, and ensure the healthcare system is ready to respond effectively to the next wave of infectious outbreaks.”

Speaking about fever management in the Indian context, Prof. (Dr) Jyotirmoy Pal, President – Association of Physicians of India (API), noted that “with most of India lying in tropical climatic zones, many illnesses can begin with fever as the first sign, making it difficult to pinpoint the cause early. A structured clinical approach helps doctors assess symptoms quickly and choose the right treatment pathway.”

Prof. Dr G. Narsimulu, President Elect – API and Former Professor & HOD Rheumatology – NIMS, Hyderabad, noted that while India’s medical expertise is on par with Western countries and top hospitals like AIIMS match global standards, there is scope to further strengthen infrastructure across central and state institutions and expand advanced fever management across various types of fever.

Speaking on behalf of the organising team, Dr. Manjula, Convener – Fever Foundation of India, said that FeFCon continues to evolve every year as a practical, science-driven forum focused on addressing unmet needs in fever care and strengthening nationwide collaboration among physicians, specialists and young clinicians.

On the sidelines of the conference, an AI-driven hackathon on fever diagnosis, outbreak prediction, and clinician support tools, along with a national-level science quiz for medical students, was conducted, with prizes awarded to the winners.

How Omni Healthcare Florida Is Redefining Patient Access Under Dr. Craig Deligdish’s Leadership

Desk News — Mon, 08 Dec 2025 16:00:25 +0530

Melbourne (Florida) [USA], December 8: Omni Healthcare, one of Florida’s leading physician-owned, multi-specialty medical groups, recently announced new measures to expand patient access and streamlining care delivery across Brevard County. Under Dr. Craig Deligdish’s leadership, the organization is accelerating its transition toward a more accessible, patient-centric care model.

The group is known for its physician-led structure and its commitment to long-term continuity of care.

Craig Deligdish, M.D., CEO of Omni Healthcare has been instrumental in these efforts to modernize operations. He explains how improving access is a key priority for healthcare. “We need to rethink the system and provide prompt, coordinated. Patients today expect a frictionless experience,” he said. “As healthcare providers, one of our goals is to remove friction from the system so individuals and families can get the help they need on their schedule.”

Efforts to reduce friction include many new initiatives such as same-day appointments, extended hours at key locations, improved referral pathways between primary and specialty departments, and a seamless integration of in-house services like diagnostics, endocrinology, oncology, orthopedics, pediatrics, surgery, pain management, hematology, urology and rheumatology.

Winter and Pollution: An Emerging Health Hazard – Can Nutrition Help Counter This Threat

Desk News — Fri, 05 Dec 2025 15:00:13 +0530

Satya Dev Tiwari, MD & CEO at Voll Sante

Satya Dev Tiwari, MD & CEO at Voll Sante Functional Foods & Nutraceuticals Pvt. Ltd Every winter, millions of people in north and western India wake up to a thick grey blanket of smog. From November to February, the air often becomes dangerous to breathe. The Air
Quality Index (AQI) regularly crosses 400–500 (anything above 300 is considered “severe”). Crop burning in Punjab and Haryana, millions of vehicles, factory smoke, and cold air that traps everything close to the ground turn the season of festivals and weddings into a silent health emergency.

Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], December 5: This isn’t just “fog” that makes your eyes water. It’s a direct attack on your lungs that can harm you as much as years of smoking, even if you’ve never touched a cigarette. A major 2023 study in The Lancet showed that lung cancer in Delhi’s non-smokers has shot up because of air pollution.

Here are the eight main ways this polluted air hurts your lungs and body:

Instant irritation: Within hours of breathing bad air, your throat and chest feel tight, you cough, and you wheeze. Harmful gases irritate the airways like chilli powder in your nose.
Tiny invisible particles (PM2.5) slip deep into the lungs and create “free radicals” – angry molecules that damage lung cells, almost like rust eating metal.
Over weeks, the airways get thick and scarred. Even non-smokers start coughing up phlegm every morning – an early sign of COPD (chronic lung disease).
The tiny air sacs that put oxygen into your blood start breaking, just like in heavy smokers. Many Delhi patients lose 15-20% of their lung power every year.
Lungs slowly turn stiff and fibrous, making every breath feel harder.
Cancer risk increases: Chemicals stuck to the pollution particles can change DNA and cause lung cancer. City residents are 2-3 times more likely to get it.
Your lungs’ natural cleaning system (tiny hair-like sweepers called cilia) stops working properly, so colds, coughs, and pneumonia become common and last longer.
The damage doesn’t stay in the lungs. Those tiny particles enter the blood and raise the risk of heart attacks, strokes, and in children, permanently smaller lungs.

This is happening right now to millions of us.

The good news? You can fight back from the inside.

Your lungs depend on a strong immune system, and the right food gives your body the tools it needs. Vitamins C and E, Zinc, Omega-3 fats, and good protein act like an internal shield – they calm inflammation, repair damage, and keep the lung cleaners working.

But in most Indian cities, getting enough of these nutrients is tough. Fast food, stress, lack of sleep, and expensive vegetables mean 7 out of 10 urban Indians are low on Vitamin C and Zinc. On top of that, pollution itself uses up these protective nutrients faster. It’s a losing battle unless you do something extra.

This is where smart, targeted nutrition supplements can help fill the gap.

One Indian company, Voll Sante, has created two products specially designed for people breathing polluted air:

Voll Pro Respi is a plant-based, protein-powered lung support formula designed to help people breathe easier in polluted and post-illness conditions. It contains NAC (a compound doctors use in hospitals to thin stubborn mucus), turmeric, ginger, bromelain, and quercetin.

Together, these ingredients help open the airways, reduce inflammation, and clear out trapped smoke and dust particles from the lungs. The protein component supports stronger respiratory muscles, which play a key role in better breathing capacity. The formula also helps boost glutathione, the lungs’ most important natural antioxidant.

Many users report coughing less, feeling less heaviness in the chest, and breathing more comfortably within a few days – without any of the side effects associated with steroid-based options.

Vollcee Z – a plant-based daily immunity tablet that gives 100% of your daily vitamin C from real amla (Indian gooseberry), proper doses of zinc and magnesium, plus black pepper extract that helps absorb these ingredients 20 times better. It keeps your defence system strong when pollution is trying to weaken it.

Voll Pro Respi Protein Powder and Vollcee Z are widely available on Voll Sante Website and platforms like Amazon as well.

Winter smog may be outside your control, but how hard it hits your body is not. A few small daily habits – eating more colourful fruits and vegetables when you can, staying hydrated, and adding science-backed nutritional support – can make a real difference.

This year, don’t just wait for the air to get better. Give your lungs the backup they desperately need.

Femcare Fertility Leads AI Revolution in IVF Treatment Across Pune & Kolkata

Desk News — Thu, 04 Dec 2025 19:00:16 +0530

Pune (Maharashtra) [India], December 4: Femcare Fertility, one of India’s rapidly expanding fertility and IVF chains, today announced a major technological leap with the integration of advanced Artificial Intelligence (AI) systems across all its centres in Pune and Kolkata.

India and Obesity: SMSRC Insights Report reveals the weight of opportunity

Desk News — Thu, 04 Dec 2025 12:30:17 +0530

New Delhi [India], December 2: India stands at an inflexion point in its battle with obesity. For many years, obesity remained peripheral to mainstream clinical focus, overshadowed by diabetes, cardiovascular disease and chronic respiratory illness. New real-world evidence from the latest “SMSRC Insights” Report (a data-based research study), based on aggregated and de-identified data on prescription behaviour from nearly 10,700 OPD-practising physicians across Tier 1 to Tier 3 cities, shows that this situation is changing rapidly.

Obesity is positioning itself as one of the most significant chronic diseases of the next decade. It is redefining patient demographics, influencing how physicians prescribe, and altering the trajectory of therapeutic markets across India. It now sits at the centre of the country’s chronic disease landscape, necessitating healthcare professionals to recognise the scale of this shift.

Leading published studies on prevalence estimated that approximately 7.4 crore Indians live with obesity, which represents approximately 5% of the population. This burden is projected to rise to 18.5 crore over the next 15 years, bringing the national prevalence to 11.5%. With obesity growing at 15% annually, the consequences for outpatient care will be substantial. However, current treatment levels do not reflect this reality.

The SMSRC Insights Report reveals that only 31.6 lakh obese individuals are under active OPD management/treatment every year. This significant mismatch between prevalence and treatment represents a major opportunity for early intervention as well as a serious risk that co-morbidities would deepen if obesity continues to be underdiagnosed.

The SMSRC Insights Report also reveals a major shift in the demographic pattern of obesity. Women still constitute a larger share of diagnosed cases, but diagnoses among men are rising at a faster pace. Younger adults below 40 comprise the highest share of only-obesity cases, suggesting that weight gain is beginning earlier in life and may precede the onset of metabolic disease. Among adults aged 41 to 60, obesity is far more closely tied to co-morbidities that include diabetes, hypertension, dyslipidaemia, fatty liver disease and hypothyroidism. Obesity with co-morbidities today is the larger cohort, with approximately 96% of total labelled obesity as a provisional diagnosis on Rx. This reflects the natural evolution of obesity into a multisystem disorder that requires coordinated and sustained care once it advances.

Further, obesity management traditionally was thought to be primarily the domain of endocrinologists or nutrition-focused practitioners. However, SMSRC’s real-world data contradict this assumption. Diabetologists, Cardiologists, Gastroenterologists, Nephrologists, Chest Physicians and Consulting Physicians are the highest contributors to the diagnosis and treatment of obesity linked with several key co-morbidities treated by them. This trend indicates that obesity is no longer just a metabolic issue but also a direct threat to cardiovascular, renal and respiratory health and other associated comorbidities.

Orthopaedics and Gynaecologists also feature prominently due to the prevalence of osteoarthritis and hypothyroidism andPCOS/PCOD, respectively, among obese patients. Aneesh Mitra, President, SMSRC, says: “Over time, this therapy might expand into prescriptions of many other specialty segments such as Dermatologists for cosmetic indications or Psychiatrists for anxiety- or depression-related obesity. However, this would depend on how effectively the scientific concept of obesity treatment is established with real-world evidence studies and how the probable side effects of GLP-1 therapies are managed.

The SMSRC Insights Report outlines the magnitude of the opportunity of obesity linked with co-morbid diseases across physician segments for the first time in India, a key insight that would aid in shaping long-term strategies for healthcare providers tackling or seeking to tackle the anti-obesity market in India.

India is also experiencing a strong uptake of modern anti-obesity medications, especially GLP-1 receptor agonists (Tirzepatide and Semaglutide injectables). These therapies are redefining obesity care by delivering meaningful and sustained weight loss and improving glycaemic control. The Insights Report finds a significant rise in prescriptions for GLP-1 therapies and lipase inhibitors since May/June 2025. At the same time, more established therapies such as SGLT2 inhibitors and Metformin (remains steady) continue to play an important role, given their added benefits of being weight-neutral or resulting in modest weight loss in diabetic patients. The cost differential, however, remains significant. While Metformin may cost as little as ₹72 per month, injectable anti-obesity agents range from just under ₹11,000 to more than ₹16,000, depending on the dosage.

These high-cost treatments are currently prescribed to a relatively small proportion of obese patients, though their chronic usage and growing acceptance are providing a strong tailwind to overall market expansion. Further, once Semaglutide (injectables and orals) loses exclusivity, the entry of low-cost generics would dramatically expand access to even smaller cities and semi-urban markets. India’s experience in diabetes treatment shows that when prices fall, both prescriber support and patient adoption rise quickly. Based on past case studies of similar loss of exclusivity (LoE) in the IPM, SMSRC recommends that incumbents consider price rationalisation strategies when generics enter the market to retain leadership during what is likely to be an intensely competitive and expanding post-LoE phase.

The future of obesity therapy will also be shaped by strong consumer interest. The Insights Report notes that demand will be driven not only through prescriber support, but also by consumer pull (OTx), in line with other high-impact lifestyle therapies in which consumer enthusiasm initially outpaced clinical readiness. Much would depend on the extent of price cuts and whether there is a sudden massification of GLP-1 therapy, which might limit the therapy concept-building processes and ultimately dilute the overall perception of Semaglutide among specialist prescribers, leading to early stagnation of prescription growth.

Thus, doctors could take a more measured approach as they work to align patient expectations with scientific evidence and safety requirements. This increases the responsibility on healthcare professionals to strengthen patient counselling frameworks and to counter misinformation, especially as the therapy categories gain visibility. Taken together, the SMSRC Insights Report illustrates that obesity has a huge opportunity to be treated vis-à-vis current prevalence rates and is emerging as a key clinical and public health challenge. It shows a disease burden rising far more rapidly than diagnosis, a therapy landscape changing faster than ever, and a health system that will require deeper coordination across specialties.

For a detailed and in-depth strategic view of where obesity care stands today and where it is headed over the next decade, read the complete Insights Report.

Bengaluru to Host Healthy Hubba, a Festival Focused on Childhood Health and Obesity Prevention

Desk News — Wed, 03 Dec 2025 22:00:40 +0530

Bengaluru (Karnataka) [India], December 2: Healthy Hubba, India’s first Children’s Health Festival & Childhood Obesity Conference, will be held on Saturday, November 15, 2025, at the Indian Institute of Science (IISc), Bengaluru. The event is co-presented by Solutionec and Hlty Beings, with support from Rotary Bengaluru Platinum City (District 3192) and quiz partner Quizarre. It is designed as a space where families, teachers, health professionals and community groups can learn practical approaches to supporting healthier habits among children.

Addressing an Urgent Health Trend

Childhood obesity has been rising in cities across India, influenced by changes in food environments, increasingly sedentary routines, reduced sleep, and heavier screen use. Families often receive conflicting advice and are left to make choices without clear guidance. Healthy Hubba aims to bridge that gap by presenting health information through engaging, easy-to-understand activities.

“Children learn best when they are involved directly,” said Suraj Prasad, Founder of Hlty Beings. “When healthy habits become routine and enjoyable, they last. The festival is structured to help parents and children practice those habits together, not just listen to advice.”

What the Festival Will Offer

The program features interactive stations, workshops, and discussions, allowing families to move between activities at their own pace. Key components include:

Movement and Play Arenas, where children participate in sport and music-based activities that highlight how physical play supports fitness and attention.
Food Label and Ingredient Workshops, guiding families in evaluating packaged foods and choosing accessible, familiar alternatives.
Sleep and Screen-Time Routines, offering practical suggestions for reducing stress and improving rest.
Panel Conversations involving doctors, educators, parents and students, discussing how to support healthy habits both at home and in school.
A Kid-Led Forum, giving children a platform to describe the challenges they face in making healthy choices.
The release of a white paper outlining current insights on childhood obesity in India.

The day will also conclude with the Grand Final of the Inter-School HLTY Quiz, featuring six Bengaluru schools selected from more than 40 participating teams.

Teams that have qualified for the Grand Final include Sri Kumaran Public School, National Public School Yeshwantpur, Presidency School Nandini Layout, Delhi Public School Bangalore South, Army Public School PRTC, and Podar International School Bengaluru.

Shared Responsibility

Rtn Sandhya Raghunandan, President (2025–26) of Rotary Bengaluru Platinum City, noted that children’s health depends on the combined influence of family, school and neighbourhood environments. “This festival encourages shared responsibility,” she said.

A spokesperson from Solutionec stated that the emphasis is on approaches that families can continue independently. “The focus is on small, repeatable routines, not products,” the spokesperson said.

Hlty Beings Mission

Hlty Beings is dedicated to tackling childhood obesity at its roots not through shortcuts, but through evidence-based education, habit design, and culturally grounded choices. Its work spans child-friendly books, games, and activity kits; parent learning modules; and community programs for schools and employers. The north star: help families raise Healthy Humans one habit, one household, one neighbourhood at a time.

About Healthy Hubba

Healthy Hubba is India’s first Children’s Health Festival & Childhood Obesity Conference, co-presented by Solutionec and Hlty Beings, that translates health science into family-ready routines through play, participation, and practical guidance.

Raising Breast Cancer Awareness in Rural Areas – Dr Smitha Saldanha Consultant – Medical Oncologist, HCG Cancer Centre, Bangalore

Desk News — Wed, 03 Dec 2025 22:00:23 +0530

Every family longs to protect their loved ones—but in the fight against breast cancer, distance and silence often become the toughest barriers, not the disease itself.

Bangalore (Karnataka) [India], December 2: Every family shares an unspoken desire: to protect their loved ones from harm. In the fight against breast cancer, this protective instinct often faces its toughest test, not from the disease itself, but from the invisible barriers of geography and silence.

In Indian cities, advances in oncology, screening technologies, and specialised care have brought breast cancer into sharper focus. But in rural and underserved areas, the story is starkly different. Studies published in 2025 reveal a disturbing pattern: awareness remains perilously low, diagnoses occur late, and survival outcomes lag far behind global averages. This disparity is not just a medical challenge; it is a systemic failure of access, education, and trust.

A Late Realisation

The numbers are telling. A May 2025 review in the National Journal of Community Medicine (NJCM) confirmed that knowledge of breast cancer symptoms and screening practices among rural women remains minimal. Fewer than 1% of Indian women aged 30-49 have ever undergone a screening test, according to data cited by the Observer Research Foundation earlier this year. The consequences are predictable: nearly 60% of Indian breast cancer cases are detected at stages III or IV, compared with significantly lower proportions in Western countries. For most patients in villages, the first consultation occurs only after the disease has spread locally or regionally, shrinking the chances of a positive outcome.

The global cancer statistics by the world regional for the year 2022, based on the updated estimates from the International Agency for Research on Cancer, showed lung cancer and breast cancer were the most frequent cancers in women and men, respectively. The figures further suggest that approximately one in five men or women develop cancer in a lifetime, whereas around one in nine men and one in 12 women die from it.

Barriers Beyond Biology

Why is India’s rural breast cancer burden rising? The obstacles are layered.

Economic and educational hurdles mean many women neither recognise early symptoms nor prioritise medical consultations. Taking time off work to visit a distant health facility often risks household income, a sacrifice too costly for daily wage earners.

Geographic and infrastructure gaps compound the problem. Oncologists, mammography units, and diagnostic labs are overwhelmingly concentrated in cities. For a woman in a remote district, the nearest functioning screening centre may be several hours away, often inaccessible without reliable transport.

Cultural stigma and silence present subtler, yet powerful barriers. In conservative communities, conversations about breast health are taboo. Younger or unmarried women fear social repercussions if they seek help. Misconceptions about cancer as a “death sentence” lead many to conceal symptoms until advanced stages, when treatment is more complex, more expensive, and less effective.

The Growing Rural Burden

Once thought of as a largely urban disease, breast cancer is now steadily increasing in India’s less developed states. The National Academy of Medical Sciences’ April 2025 task force report warned of rising mortality and morbidity in rural populations. Without timely intervention, these regions are projected to bear the worst of the country’s cancer crisis in the coming decade.

Lessons from Innovation

Despite grim statistics, some promising models are emerging. A ScienceDirect study in Bihar (2025) showed that short, video-based interventions delivered through WhatsApp groups dramatically improved women’s knowledge of symptoms and boosted practice of breast self-examination (BSE).

Meanwhile, the Breast Health Initiative (BHI) has trained ASHA workers to deliver door-to-door education and encourage early diagnosis. Trusted local figures proved more effective than outside doctors in breaking stigma and encouraging screening.

The government, too, has recognised the urgency. In February 2025, it announced plans to establish 200 Day Care Cancer Centres at district hospitals in the 2025–26 financial year—a move aimed at decentralising cancer care.

Demystifying Detection

Education is the fulcrum. The language of outreach must be simple, direct, and reassuring. Women need to know not only about lumps but also about less obvious warning signs: changes in skin texture, nipple discharge, or persistent pain. Screening must be framed as a routine safeguard, not a fearful ordeal.

The mammogram, often clouded in mystery, should be explained as a quick and low-impact tool. Just as important is clarifying the difference between screening (routine checks) and diagnostic testing (follow-ups after symptoms) to reduce anxiety. Knowledge cannot stop at detection. Accessible explanations of diagnosis, staging, and treatment options can replace fear with informed decision-making.

From Clinic to Community

For education to succeed, it must move beyond hospital walls.

Train-the-trainer models, equipping community health workers, Anganwadi staff, and even local religious leaders, can create a chain of trust.
Mobile mammography units, or “mammography vans,” bring screening directly to villages, eliminating geographic barriers.
Telemedicine and patient navigators provide continuity of care, helping women manage logistics, insurance, and follow-up appointments.

Crucially, visual and oral communication, local radio, pictorial pamphlets, street plays and interactive sessions, must be prioritised for populations with limited literacy.

Building Permanence

One-off awareness drives are insufficient. Sustainable progress depends on durable partnerships between rural health clinics, NGOs, and public health departments. Policymakers must commit to dedicated screening budgets, insurance coverage for transport, and incentives for oncologists to work in underserved regions. If India is to bridge its breast cancer divide, it must pursue a twin strategy: expand healthcare infrastructure in rural areas while embedding education at the community level. Only then can the invisible barriers of distance and silence be dismantled.

The Way Forward

Every family’s instinct is to protect its loved ones. But in rural India, that instinct too often collides with logistical, cultural, and systemic obstacles. Bridging the breast cancer gap is not simply about technology or medicine, it is about reshaping trust, access, and knowledge.

The challenge is daunting. Yet the path is clear: early detection, community-focused education, and equitable access. With these, India can shift breast cancer from a late-stage tragedy to a preventable and treatable condition, no matter where a woman lives.

In a Time of Toxic Air and Tainted Food, Haldiva India Calls Attention to a Quiet Crisis

Desk News — Mon, 01 Dec 2025 17:00:19 +0530

New Delhi [India], December 1: There was a time when mornings carried a lightness of being — when breathing in fresh air felt energizing, when choosing vegetables from the neighbourhood market brought a quiet assurance, and when food symbolised nourishment rather than doubt. Today, however, many families across India find themselves living in an environment where every breath feels heavier and every meal demands scrutiny. Between rising pollution and widespread food adulteration, a silent shift has reshaped the country’s relationship with safety. It is within this shift that the Haldiva Purity Movement has emerged as a message of calm amidst chaos.

Pollution and adulteration — a double blow to health

Air pollution in India has long transcended mere discomfort. Findings from leading health research bodies suggest that millions of Indians face chronic respiratory ailments each year due to toxic air, with heart disease and lung disorders forming the bulk of long-term consequences.

Children, whose immunity is still evolving, often bear the brunt. Pediatric specialists across the country report increasing cases of asthma-like symptoms even among toddlers. Prolonged exposure to fine particulate matter continues to raise serious concerns about impaired lung development and lifelong respiratory challenges.

Parallel to this public health crisis is another troubling reality — food adulteration. In several states, a significant proportion of food samples routinely fail safety checks. Artificial colouring, chemical ripening agents, excess preservatives and diluted staples have made their way into everyday meals. What should nourish the body now demands vigilance.

The combination of toxic air and questionable food has turned into a double burden: weakened immunity, unexplained fatigue, hormonal fluctuations and a deepening sense of insecurity around daily living. Families now evaluate not only what they eat, but what they breathe.

Haldiva India — Purity with a purpose

At the centre of this growing uncertainty, three professionals — a senior forensic scientist, a medical doctor and a pharmacology expert — found themselves united by one question: Are we truly eating what nature intended us to eat? Their shared concern became the seed for Haldiva India.

Built on the teachings and values of Shri Vijayshree Ramesh C. Madan, a respected President’s Award recipient, Haldiva India rests on the principles of truth, integrity and purity. The organisation positions itself not as a brand chasing trends, but as a commitment to restoring honesty in consumption.

As the mission gained momentum, specialists from research, finance, law and digital communication joined the initiative. The result is a movement — the Haldiva Purity Movement — aimed at ensuring that purity becomes an accessible reality for Indian households.

Purity Through Products — A Focus on Real Needs

At the heart of this movement lies Haldiva’s effort to expand product offerings that genuinely address today’s health challenges. Each product is centred around clean sourcing, traditional preparation and scientific validation.

Haldiva’s range of products include:

Haldiva Gir Cow Ghee: Made using traditionally processed A2 milk from organically raised Gir cows, this ghee contains no additives. Its nutrient profile is associated with improving digestion, supporting heart health and strengthening immunity.
Haldiva Turmeric Milk: This high-curcumin golden milk blend is designed to boost immunity, support weight management, reduce inflammation and help the body counteract stress caused by pollution and modern lifestyles.

These products reflect Haldiva’s commitment to offering families safe, pure and trustworthy alternatives — each crafted in response to real-time health concerns affecting millions of Indian homes.

A small step in kitchens, a big step for wellness

Haldiva India’s approach does not rely on sweeping claims. Instead, it promotes a quieter yet more impactful revolution: empowering households to choose purity. A shift in purchasing habits — from chemically altered to naturally sourced — creates ripples of long-term benefit. Healthier choices today translate into better immunity, calmer minds and enhanced well-being tomorrow.

While individuals cannot control the smog outside, they can make conscious decisions about what enters their plates. Haldiva believes that this simple, intentional shift is the foundation of sustainable wellness.

Why this matters — and why now

Air pollution and adulteration have become systemic issues. As public trust weakens, consumers increasingly seek transparency and accountability from brands. Haldiva India’s emphasis on clean sourcing and honest product preparation aligns with this growing demand.

Moreover, the movement encourages families to prioritise health through small, consistent choices — from selecting pure groceries to supporting responsible producers.

Clean plates, clear hearts — the way forward

The rise of Haldiva under the banner of the Haldiva Purity Movement carries a meaningful message: the journey toward a healthier life begins at home. Every small choice — whether it is switching to pure ghee, choosing natural ingredients or demanding higher safety standards — becomes a contribution to a larger transformation.

In an age marked by pollution and adulteration, the promise that Haldiva brings is simple yet powerful: purity in every home, trust in every heart.

Rare, High-Risk Lung Surgery Saves Young Man’s Life at NCR Hospital: Dr. Anupam Das Performs Complex CTEPH Procedure

Desk News — Mon, 01 Dec 2025 17:00:10 +0530

Dr. Anupam Das Senior Consultant & Head – Cardiothoracic & Vascular Surgery. Sarvodaya Hospital, Sector-8, Faridabad, Haryana

Faridabad (Haryana) [India], December 1: In a remarkable medical achievement, a young male patient suffering from a rare and life-threatening condition called Chronic Thromboembolic Pulmonary Hypertension (CTEPH) was successfully treated by a multidisciplinary team led by renowned cardiothoracic surgeon Dr. Anupam Das. The complex procedure, known as a bilateral pulmonary thromboendarterectomy, is considered one of the most challenging surgeries in cardiothoracic medicine.

A Rare and Dangerous Disease

CTEPH affects an estimated 1–3.2% of individuals who develop blood clots in their leg veins (Deep Vein Thrombosis – DVT). In this condition, massive clots travel from the deep veins to the lungs, blocking major pulmonary arteries.

If untreated, the rising pressure on the right side of the heart can cause progressive breathlessness, coughing of blood, and eventual heart failure.

“It is a condition where life expectancy can reduce to nearly 5% within five years without treatment,” explains Dr. Das.

Critical Condition on Admission

The patient had a history of leg vein thrombosis two years ago and had discontinued blood-thinning medications prematurely. In recent weeks, his condition worsened rapidly with severe breathlessness and blood in sputum.
Upon admission, his oxygen saturation had fallen to 84%, and his lungs were heavily clogged with clots. He was placed on a ventilator but did not respond to medical therapy, prompting the need for emergency surgical intervention.

A Six-Hour, High-Stakes Operation

The high-risk surgery lasted nearly six hours, involving:

·192 minutes on a heart-lung machine

·85 minutes with the heart stopped

·35 minutes of complete circulatory arrest at a body temperature of 22°C

The surgery required opening both pulmonary arteries and meticulously removing clots from within the lungs—an extremely time-sensitive procedure due to the risk of organ damage when circulation is stopped.

The expert team included:

·Surgeons: Dr. Anupam Das (Lead), Dr. Murtaza

·Anaesthesia: Dr. Rohit, Dr. Seema

·Perfusionists: Mr. Retam, Ms. Neha, Ms. Megha

·Scrub Nurses: Mr. Prahlad, Mr. Chandrabhan, Ms. Anuradha, Ms. Yogesh

“This surgery demands perfect coordination, deep planning, and calm execution. Even a minor bleed in the lungs or right heart failure can make survival extremely difficult,” said Dr. Das.

A Successful Recovery

Post-surgery, the patient showed dramatic improvement.

·Lung pressures returned to normal

·He was removed from the ventilator within 48 hours

·Follow-up bronchoscopy confirmed clean airways

·He was discharged with stable vital signs and 97% oxygen saturation on room air

“This outcome is the result of precise teamwork between cardiac surgery, pulmonology, ICU specialists, and perfusion experts,” Dr. Das added.

A Message of Awareness

CTEPH often goes undiagnosed until it becomes life-threatening. Dr. Das emphasized the importance of:

·Timely diagnosis

·Strict adherence to blood-thinning medication after DVT

·Early referral to specialized cardiac centers

·Annual CT follow-ups for at-risk patients

After such surgeries, patients must permanently stop smoking, continue blood thinners for life, and remain under regular cardiac supervision—but they can lead a completely normal life.

A Significant Milestone for Cardiac Care

The successful completion of this rare and difficult surgery highlights growing expertise in the region and offers hope to patients with advanced pulmonary hypertension who previously had limited treatment options in India

The Evolution of Natural Aesthetic Care Through the Lens of Dr. Yash Mehta at ACSC

Desk News — Sat, 29 Nov 2025 19:30:11 +0530

Dr. Yash Mehta, Founder & Facial Plastic Surgeon, Aesthetic & Cosmetic Surgery Clinic

New Delhi [India], November 29: Dr. Yash Mehta’s journey into facial plastic surgery began long before ACSC became known for its refined, natural-looking results. It traces back to a simple but defining moment early in his career – one that shaped the kind of doctor he wanted to be. “It was actually a conversation with a French surgeon that set me on this path,” he recalls. “He told me that plastic surgery is one of the few fields in medicine where patients walk in happy and leave even happier.” It’s a line that stayed with him, grounding his approach in the idea of elevating confidence rather than changing who someone is.

At ACSC, that philosophy shows up in subtle yet meaningful ways. Dr. Mehta firmly believes that beauty isn’t a formula – it’s individual. “I truly believe beauty has no fixed definition – every face carries its own identity and uniqueness. At ACSC, our focus is always on preserving that individuality.” The treatments, whether surgical or non-invasive, are approached with that in mind: gentle enhancements that complement existing features so patients look like themselves, just fresher and more balanced.

Much of this finesse comes from his international training. Working with mentors across different parts of the world gave him a broad understanding of techniques and the nuances of anatomy and aesthetics across cultures. “Training with mentors across the world has allowed me to learn a variety of techniques and understand the subtle differences that each demographic brings in terms of anatomy and aesthetic goals.” These learnings help him adapt global standards to suit Indian preferences, creating results that feel modern yet naturally aligned with each face.

Among ACSC’s most sought-after procedures right now are lip lifts and blepharoplasties. They are subtle but impactful, especially because the eyes and lips define so much of one’s expression. “The eyes and lips are among the most defining features of the face, so even subtle enhancements here can make a significant difference,” he notes.

As wedding season approaches, the clinic sees an increase in couples wanting to look their best without compromising their natural features. Dr. Mehta is clear about the approach: refinement, not reinvention. “For brides and grooms, our priority is to protect their individuality and ensure they still look like themselves – just the most refreshed and confident version.” Every plan is tailored to their timelines and the look they want to achieve.

For pre-wedding prep, microneedling with radiofrequency has become a go-to. The treatment improves texture and creates gentle tightening with little downtime. “Microneedling with radiofrequency has become extremely popular, which makes it ideal for wedding prep.” And for those turning up close to the big day, ACSC relies on a set of quick, reliable treatments – the Hydrafacial MD, Aquagold, and IPL laser – each delivering an instant, healthy glow. “They’re safe, effective, and give a beautiful glow with very little to no downtime.”

Precision is what sets ACSC apart, something Dr. Mehta attributes to the mentors who shaped his technique. “The training I’ve received from my mentors globally has equipped me with techniques that focus on precision and subtlety.” This is particularly valuable for wedding-focused treatments, where patients want to look refreshed without appearing “treated.”

In a field that evolves constantly, staying updated is not optional – it’s essential. “Learning never really stops in this field,” he says. Attending global conferences and advanced trainings keeps the clinic aligned with the latest innovations and ensures patients benefit from the most current and effective techniques.

With a thoughtful blend of global exposure, refined technique, and a genuine respect for each patient’s individuality, ACSC under Dr. Yash Mehta continues to shape a more natural, effortless approach to beauty – one that celebrates confidence and authenticity above all.

Bhailal Amin Cancer Center Successfully Manages Rare Peritoneal Cancer in a 29-Year-Old Woman

Desk News — Thu, 27 Nov 2025 20:30:11 +0530

Vadodara (Gujarat) [India], November 27: In a recent development, Bhailal Amin Cancer Centre has established a milestone in the management of primary peritoneal serous carcinoma (PPSC), a rare, aggressive malignancy with a median survival of just 2.5-9 months. The patient was a 29-year-old female, a resident of Dahod, Gujarat, who was brought to the hospital with gross abdominal distention only a few weeks after giving birth to twins through an LSCS procedure.

Preliminary examination showed that there was a large abdominal lump and a lot of fluid in the abdomen. PET- CT scan revealed a large tumour of 10 x 16 x 10 cm compressing against vital organs in the abdomen with evidence of metastasis to other regions of the abdomen. It was diagnosed as high-grade serous carcinoma by biopsy, and advanced disease was likely based on imaging and blood reports (tumor marker CA 125).

After careful observation and consultation, the patient underwent four cycles of neoadjuvant chemotherapy and was then taken for a major cytoreductive surgery and HIPEC – A specialised two-step procedure performed to treat advanced abdominal cancers, especially cases that have spread to the peritoneal lining. Dr Devang Patel and Dr Animesh Raj, Surgical Oncologists at Bhailal Amin Cancer Centre, performed this complex surgery. In this case, the visible cancer deposits in the abdomen were meticulously resected in toto, and then the circulation of the heated chemotherapy in the abdominal cavity was done to eliminate any microscopic cancer cells.

Following a nearly 10-hour surgery, the patient experienced a painless and uneventful recovery under the post-operative care of Dr Pranav Patel, Onco Critical Care Intensivist at Bhailal Amin Cancer Centre. The patient was successfully discharged on Post-Operative Day 7.

Dr Devang Patel, Surgical Oncologist at Bhailal Amin Cancer Centre, “This case demonstrates what multidisciplinary oncology can achieve even in the face of sporadic and advanced cancers. The patient was treated by a multidisciplinary team that opted for treatment using four cycles of chemotherapy, which assisted in reducing the size of the tumor, and it was safer to go for surgery. Achieving complete cytoreduction in PPSC is challenging, and we are proud to offer this level of advanced care to our cancer patients.”

Dr Animesh Raj, Surgical Oncologist at Bhailal Amin Cancer Centre, added, “HIPEC combined with complex cytoreductive surgery in selected patients offer a meaningful chance at long-term survival. We were in a position to obtain a CC-0 clearance, which indicates that no visible cancer remained. This outcome reflects the expertise and coordinated efforts of our entire team in fighting against cancer.

Bhailal Amin Cancer Centre continues to advance the standards of oncological care, delivering cutting-edge therapies and comprehensive support for patients battling rare and aggressive malignancies.

Can We Take Creatine Without Workout? The Expert Guide

Desk News — Thu, 27 Nov 2025 14:00:11 +0530

Creatine is one of the most trusted supplements in the fitness world — widely praised for building muscle, improving performance, and boosting strength. But a question many people have (especially beginners) is this:

“Can we take creatine without working out?”

Maybe you’re taking a break from the gym… recovering from an injury… or simply want the cognitive or energy benefits of creatine. No matter the reason, this question is more common than you think.

In this detailed expert guide, we’ll break down what really happens when you take creatine without exercising, whether it’s worth it, what benefits and drawbacks to expect, and who should (or shouldn’t) take it.

Let’s dive in.

First, What Exactly Does Creatine Do?

Creatine is a naturally occurring compound found in your muscles and brain. It helps your body produce ATP, the main source of energy your cells use during high-intensity activities like weightlifting, sprinting, and explosive movements.

But creatine isn’t just for “gym energy.”

It also supports:

Cognitive performance
Muscle recovery
Cellular hydration
Hormonal balance
Strength maintenance
Brain health and memory

This is why people often wonder if they can take creatine even on rest days — or during periods when they aren’t working out at all.

Short Answer: Yes, You Can Take Creatine Without Working Out

You absolutely can take creatine without exercising. Creatine functions by saturating your muscles over time, and this saturation process happens whether or not you’re training.

This means the supplement is still active, still useful, and still beneficial — even when you’re not in the gym.

However, the type and degree of benefits may vary. Let’s explore that in detail.

What Happens If You Take Creatine Without Working Out?

If you take creatine without lifting weights or doing high-intensity training, here’s what happens in your body:

1. Your Muscles Still Store Creatine

Creatine works through a “saturation” model. When you take 3–5 grams daily, your muscles store more creatine, regardless of physical activity.

Even without workouts, your creatine reserves will increase — preparing your body for improved performance once you restart training.

2. You Gain Cognitive & Brain Benefits

Creatine is not only a muscle supplement — it’s a brain booster. Without exercise, you can still enjoy:

Better memory recall
Faster thinking
Reduced mental fatigue
Better focus and alertness
Improved brain energy

Studies show creatine increases phosphocreatine stores in the brain, helping support cognitive performance.

3. You May Notice Slight Weight Gain (Water Retention)

Creatine naturally pulls water into muscle cells.
Even without lifting weights, this may cause:

Mild increase in body weight
Slight muscle fullness
Better hydration inside the cells

This is normal and not fat gain — just intracellular water retention.

4. Muscle Preservation Improves

If you’re not working out due to injury, travel, or busy schedules, creatine can help prevent muscle loss.

Creatine has anti-catabolic effects, meaning:

You lose less muscle tissue
Strength declines more slowly
Your body stays primed for training

This is extremely helpful if you’re taking a break from the gym.

5. You Won’t Build New Muscle Without Resistance Training

This is important to understand:

Creatine cannot build muscle on its own.
It helps you build muscle faster — but only when you take action (exercise).

Without training:

You won’t gain new muscle mass
You won’t see a visual transformation
You won’t see major strength gains

So while creatine works, its muscle-building benefits stay dormant without stimulus.

When Does Taking Creatine Without Working Out Actually Make Sense?

There are several cases where taking creatine even without exercise is completely justified and beneficial:

1. Recovery From Injury
Creatine helps preserve muscle and maintain strength during downtime.

2. Training Break or Deload Phase
Keeps creatine levels saturated so you don’t lose progress.

3. Mental Performance Boosting
Students, professionals, and gamers can benefit from cognitive improvements.

4. Vegetarians or Vegans
Plant-based diets contain almost zero dietary creatine, making supplementation highly beneficial — even without workouts.

5. Older Adults
Creatine supports healthy aging, muscle preservation, and brain health.

6. Low-Energy or Fatigue Issues
Many experience improved energy even without exercising.

When Taking Creatine Without Exercise Doesn’t Make Sense

If your only goal is muscle building, creatine alone won’t do it.
If you want visible fat loss, creatine won’t help unless paired with training.
If you don’t drink enough water, creatine may cause digestive discomfort.

How Much Creatine Should You Take Without Working Out?

The recommendation stays the same as when you’re training:

3–5 grams creatine monohydrate daily

No need for a loading phase unless you want faster saturation.

Take it:

With a meal
Or with carbs/protein
Or anytime that’s convenient (timing doesn’t matter much)

Consistency is far more important than timing.

Tips If You’re Taking Creatine Without Exercise

1. Drink plenty of water (2.5–3.5 litres/day): Creatine increases water demand.

2. Stay consistent: Daily use is key for maintaining saturation.

3. Pair with protein-rich foods: Supports muscle preservation.

4. Take creatine even on rest days: Essential for continuous benefits.

5. Use pure creatine monohydrate: It’s the safest, most researched, and most effective form.

Final Verdict: Should You Take Creatine Without Working Out?

Yes — you can take creatine without working out, and it’s still beneficial.

You will not build muscle or strength without resistance training, but you will enjoy:

Improved cognitive performance
Better energy levels
Enhanced hydration
Reduced muscle loss during breaks
Stronger creatine reserves for when you restart training

If you want the best results from creatine, you must combine it with resistance training.
But if you’re in a no-exercise phase, creatine still remains extremely useful.

What IRDAI Rule Changes Mean for Employer Health Insurance Plans in India

Desk News — Tue, 25 Nov 2025 20:30:33 +0530

Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], November 25: The way health insurance is regulated in India has shifted after recent directions from the Insurance Regulatory and Development Authority of India (IRDAI). For many salaried people, the first and often only protection against hospital bills is the cover offered at work, so any change in rules affects employees who depend on company medical insurance.

This article looks at the broad intent of the new framework and what it may mean for employer-backed group cover in India.

How the New IRDAI Framework Sets the Tone

Through its latest master circular on health insurance, IRDAI has pulled earlier guidance into one document and nudged insurers towards policies that are more transparent, more inclusive, and more service-focused. The overall direction is to:

Explain benefits and exclusions in straightforward language.
Ensure smoother claim handling.
Protect continuity benefits when policies move or renew.

These ideas influence not only retail health insurance plans but also the group mediclaim policy that employers arrange for their workforce.

Clearer Information for Employees

A frequent pain point in employer health insurance is the surprise element at the time of claim. Employees assume something is covered, only to discover a room rent cap, a sub-limit or a waiting period. The new rules encourage insurers to share short customer information sheets so that the essentials are visible at a glance.

For a company-sponsored medical insurance plan, this can make it easier for staff to see:

What kind of hospital rooms are covered without extra payment?
Which treatments have limits or co-payments?
How long must they wait before maternity or certain illnesses are covered?

If HR teams share these sheets during joining and renewal, employees can judge more calmly whether the organisation’s cover is enough for their family and whether they should also buy health insurance in their own name.

Stronger Attention to Claim Experience

IRDAI has also framed expectations around how quickly insurers should respond during cashless admission and discharge, with an emphasis on faster, more seamless claim settlement. The intent is to cut down extended waits at the hospital billing desk and make claim outcomes more predictable.

In a group health context, one complex claim can colour how the entire benefit is viewed. With tighter expectations in place, insurers and their service partners are under pressure to streamline processes. They also need to keep both employees and HR informed as a claim moves through the system. When this happens, the value of employer health insurance plans is felt more tangibly than through a brochure or orientation session.

Continuity When Employees Change Jobs

Another strong theme in the recent rules is continuity. IRDAI has reinforced that policyholders should be able to carry forward credits, such as completed waiting periods and no claim bonuses, when they move between insurers. This also applies when they shift from a group policy to an individual one.

For employers and employees, this can translate into:

Easier movement from the company mediclaim policy into an individual plan when a person resigns, subject to the insurer’s conditions.
The possibility of preserving past benefits instead of starting again from scratch.

For professionals, this is a reminder not to think of company cover as something that ends abruptly on the last working day, but as a base they can build on when planning long-term medical insurance.

Broader Inclusion and Flexible Benefit Design

The regulatory direction also encourages insurers to design health insurance for a broader set of health needs. There is greater emphasis on coverage across age groups, with more inclusive treatment of pre-existing conditions, mental health, chronic illnesses and disabilities. It also extends to a wider range of treatments, including day care procedures and alternative systems, wherever the employer chooses to include them.

For group medical insurance, this can gradually influence how companies think about:

Including parents or older dependants, where budgets permit.
Offering voluntary top-up covers that employees can pay for if they want higher protection.

Organisations that want their benefits package to feel close to the best health insurance their employees could access in the market are likely to pay attention to these options rather than focusing only on the base sum insured.

What Employers and HR Teams Should Revisit

Against this backdrop, it helps employers to take a structured look at their current group health arrangements. Useful steps include:

Reviewing the latest policy wording and customer information sheet with the insurer, not just the premium quote.
Checking whether frequent employee requests, such as parental cover or mental health support, are addressed in the design.
Guiding staff on when it may be wise to supplement employer cover with separate health insurance plans rather than relying only on the office mediclaim policy

Even without a significant cost increase, better communication and sharper service expectations can lift how employees perceive the benefit.

Conclusion

IRDAI’s recent rule changes do more than rearrange regulations on paper. They influence how employer health insurance operates day to day by pushing for clearer information, better claim service and stronger continuity. For organisations, this is an opportunity to align group medical insurance with both compliance requirements and what employees genuinely need.

For working professionals, it is a signal to understand how their mediclaim policy functions, ask informed questions at work, and, where needed, add their own cover so that protection does not rest solely on one job. Together, these shifts can support a more resilient and responsive health insurance ecosystem for employees and their families across India.

4-kg Uterus Removed After Eight Years of Pain: Medicover Whitefield Performs Breakthrough Dual Robotic Operation

Desk News — Tue, 25 Nov 2025 20:30:23 +0530

Bengaluru (Karnataka) [India], November 25: In a milestone achievement for women’s healthcare, Medicover Hospital, Whitefield successfully treated a 45-year-old woman who had suffered silently for nearly eight years from heavy menstrual bleeding, severe anemia, and chronic abdominal pain. The patient’s uterus had enlarged to the size of a six-month pregnancy, weighing 4 kilograms due to multiple fibroids and adenomyosis. She also had an umbilical hernia, adding to her prolonged discomfort.

The patient frequently spent five days every month bedridden due to excessive bleeding. After comprehensive evaluation by Dr. Sabiha Anjum Shaik, Senior Consultant – Obstetrics & Gynecology, the team planned a complex yet minimally invasive approach: a dual robotic surgery combining robotic hysterectomy and robotic hernia repair in a single sitting.

Advanced robotic technology enabled exceptional surgical precision, reduced blood loss, and a far smoother recovery than conventional methods — allowing the patient to regain mobility and resume daily life more quickly.

Commenting on the case, Dr. Sabiha Anjum Shaik said: “This patient had endured years of pain and limitations, and being able to restore her quality of life is truly rewarding. Both the enlarged uterus and the hernia made this a highly complex case. Robotic surgery helped us treat both conditions safely and precisely in one procedure. We are delighted to see her recovering well and returning to a pain-free life.”

Strengthening the institutional perspective, Dr. Anil Krishna, Chairman & Managing Director, Medicover Hospitals, added: “This case demonstrates what modern healthcare can achieve when clinical expertise and cutting-edge technology work together. Robotic surgery is redefining outcomes for complex gynecological and abdominal conditions, allowing patients to avoid prolonged suffering and reclaim their lives with dignity. At Medicover, we remain committed to advancing precision medicine and delivering the highest standards of care across all our centres.”

The successful outcome highlights Medicover’s growing leadership in minimally invasive and robotic surgery, offering hope and transformative solutions to patients living with long-ignored or misdiagnosed conditions.

HemeNext 2025: India’s Premier Hematology Conference Unveils the Future of Genomics, Transplants and AI in Blood Cancer Treatment

Desk News — Tue, 25 Nov 2025 20:30:15 +0530

Gurgaon (Haryana) [India], November 25: HemeNext 2025, held at The Westin Hotel, Gurgaon on the 22nd and 23rd of November, welcomed nearly 300 delegates from across the country, making it one of India’s most anticipated gatherings in the field of hematology. Conceptualised and led by Dr Rahul Bhargava, the conference stood out for its meticulous planning, scientific depth and a strong focus on improving outcomes for patients battling leukaemia, lymphoma, myeloma and other complex blood disorders.

A central highlight of the conference was the extensive focus on leukaemia, including acute myeloid leukaemia (AML), acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (ALL), chronic myeloid leukaemia (CML) and even rare infantile leukaemias. Experts explained how breakthrough targeted therapies, such as FLT3 inhibitors, Menin inhibitors, IDH inhibitors, and BCL2 blockers, have transformed survival outcomes, particularly for patients who relapse or do not respond to older regimens. Adding to this, Dr Shrinidhi introduced the concept of a 3-day TAT (Turnaround Time) genomic testing workflow, enlightening the audience on how ultra-rapid genomic interpretation is reshaping AML treatment by enabling faster, more precise, and more personalised clinical decisions.

Lymphomas—including Hodgkin lymphoma, diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) and mantle cell lymphoma—were explored through insightful debates and case-driven discussions. Specialists described how genomic subtyping, bispecific antibodies, ADCETRIS, Polatuzumab and CAR-T therapy are replacing older chemotherapy-heavy regimens. These sessions simplified the rationale for modern therapy selection and highlighted how newer treatments can offer faster responses, deeper remissions, and fewer long-term complications.

Multiple myeloma experts highlighted how the shift from traditional monitoring to multi-omics, RNA-based diagnostics and MRD-driven tracking is paving the way for longer disease control. For patients who fear relapse, these advancements signalled a future where myeloma can be managed with greater accuracy and predictability.

Bone marrow transplant (BMT)—a life-saving treatment for many leukaemias, lymphomas and inherited blood disorders—was another central theme of HemeNext. Discussions covered safer conditioning regimens, improved donor matching, innovative approaches to reduce chronic GVHD, and emerging methods to stabilise mixed chimerism after transplant. The session moderated by Dr. Vikas Dua on rebalancing mixed chimerism post-transplant drew praise for its clarity and practical relevance. Pediatric hematologists further expanded the discourse by addressing bone marrow failure syndromes, metabolic disorders, immunodeficiencies and thalassemia, giving families dealing with childhood conditions more clarity and confidence.

Infectious complications remain one of the biggest threats for patients undergoing leukaemia treatment or BMT, and HemeNext has dedicated a strong focus to reducing infection-related morbidity and mortality. Experts discussed CMV prevention using Letermovir, updated vaccination strategies after transplant or CAR-T therapy, and real-world emergency cases from transplant units. These conversations offered immediately implementable insights that can directly improve patient survival.

A defining highlight of HemeNext 2025 was the strong emphasis on Artificial Intelligence (AI) in modern hematology. With contributions from Dr Srinidhi, clinicians learned how AI tools can interpret complex genomic reports within minutes, predict complications, personalise treatment strategies and help detect disease relapse much earlier than conventional methods. AI was positioned not as a distant future concept but as an active, practical clinical support layer already transforming patient care.

Adding to the event’s futuristic spirit, an AI-trained robotic host welcomed and interacted with delegates. The robot engaged in meaningful conversations with doctors, guided visitors, and demonstrated how intelligent machines are beginning to integrate into healthcare. Its presence captivated attendees and symbolised the rapid transformation of medicine into a blend of human expertise and advanced automation.

HemeNext 2025 succeeded in uniting breakthroughs in new drugs, transplant science, infection management, genomics and AI—while keeping patients at the centre of every discussion. Through the vision of Dr. Rahul Bhargava and the expertise of leaders such as Dr. Vikas Dua and Dr. Srinidhi, the conference not only showcased the present but also laid a clear roadmap for the future of haematology in India.

Dr. K.K. Sethi and Dr. Kabir Sethi lead successful high-risk TAVI Procedure Using Advanced Myval Technology

Desk News — Tue, 25 Nov 2025 00:30:10 +0530

New Delhi [India], November 24: In a remarkable medical achievement, Dr K.K. Sethi and Dr Kabir Sethi, leading cardiologists at the Delhi Heart & Lung Institute, successfully conducted a Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation (TAVI) on a 60-year-old female patient with multiple coexisting cardiac conditions and considered unfit for open-heart surgery.

The patient had been diagnosed in 2004 with Idiopathic Pulmonary Hypertension, with an alarmingly high systolic pressure of 80–85 mmHg, a normal of less than 20, and a bicuspid aortic valve. In this congenital condition, the valve has two cusps instead of the usual three. Her aortic valve gradually developed critical narrowing over many years, producing angina and severe dizziness during exertion. A significantly dilated ascending aorta further complicated this. Because of this, she was considered a surgical reject due to prohibitive risk.

The procedure was performed utilising the Myval (Meril) Balloon Expandable Heart Valve through a minimal incision in the left thigh (as the usually adopted right thigh had calcified, diseased blood vessels), and a new valve was placed over the existing diseased valve. The patient was discharged just four days later in a stable and much-improved condition.

TAVI, also referred to as Percutaneous Aortic Valve Implantation, is a state-of-the-art, catheter-based intervention that replaces a narrowed aortic valve without open-heart surgery. It is beneficial in situations where conventional valve replacement cannot be envisaged, as in elderly patients or those with high-risk features.

Speaking about the successful outcome, Dr K. K. Sethi, Director, Delhi Heart & Lung Institute, said, “This was indeed one of the most challenging cases we have managed. The combination of severe pulmonary hypertension, a bicuspid valve, and a dilated aorta made surgery extremely high-risk. Using advanced TAVI technology, we could offer a life-saving alternative through a minimally invasive approach. It feels gratifying to see the patient recover so well, truly a Diwali gift of life.”

Dr Kabir Sethi further emphasised that the success of this case opens new possibilities for complex cardiac patients unsuitable for traditional open-heart procedures. The non-metallic valve design in this case does not require long-term blood thinners, thereby reducing the risk of bleeding in elderly patients considerably.

This achievement highlights the leadership of Dr K. K. Sethi, Dr Kabir Sethi, and their team in advanced cardiac care and innovation, offering world-class technologies for the treatment of complex and high-risk cardiac conditions.

Newsvoir Press Release — Mon, 24 Nov 2025 16:00:19 +0530

NEW YORK and NEW ORLEANS, Nov. 21, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Former Attorney General of Louisiana, Charles C. Foti, Jr., Esq., a partner at the law firm of Kahn Swick & Foti, LLC (“KSF”), announces that KSF has commenced an investigation into The Beauty Health Company (“Beauty Health” or the “Company”) (NasdaqCM: SKIN).

In November 2023, the Company announced its financial results for the third quarter of 2023, disclosing that “[t]he quarter was overshadowed by lower-than-expected U.S. revenue and $63.1 million in restructuring charges related to device upgrades of early generation Syndeo devices.” As a result, “the Company is revising its fiscal year 2023 net sales guidance to a range of $385 to $400 million, its fiscal year adjusted EBITDA margin guidance to a range of 5% to 6% and is suspending its long-term 2025 financial outlook.” The Company further disclosed that CEO Stanleick would depart Beauty Health as President and CEO and relinquish his Board seat.

Thereafter, the Company and certain of its executives were sued in a securities class action lawsuit, charging them with failing to disclose material information in violation of federal securities laws, which remains ongoing.

KSF’s investigation is focusing on whether Beauty Health’ officers and/or directors breached their fiduciary duties to its shareholders or otherwise violated state or federal laws.

Jehangir Wellness Centre Sets Global Benchmark with Emotional Assessment Launch in Partnership with Emoscape

Desk News — Thu, 20 Nov 2025 21:00:08 +0530

A pioneering collaboration that integrates Emotion AI into preventive healthcare, helping individuals understand their emotions that affect physical health.

Pune (Maharashtra) [India], November 20: Jehangir Wellness Centre (JWC), Pune, has become the first healthcare institution in the world to formally integrate AI-based emotional assessments into preventive care through its partnership with Emoscape, a medical-grade Emotion AI platform created by Nihilent. This collaboration reflects a significant step forward in the convergence of emotional and physical well-being, placing India at the forefront of human-centric innovation in healthcare.

With Emoscape, every individual visiting Jehangir Wellness Centre now has access to a non-invasive emotional scan that evaluates the nine core emotions (Navarasas): Raudra, Bhayanaka, Hasya, Shringara, Adbhuta, Bibhatsa, Shanta, Veera, and Karuna. In just 60 seconds, the platform maps emotional intensities and patterns through safe, contactless technology. These findings are then interpreted alongside physical health markers, offering deeper insight into how emotional states may be contributing to symptoms or influencing recovery. By integrating this scan into routine wellness checks, Jehangir Wellness Centre is advancing an early-detection, prevention-focused model—where emotional well-being becomes a central diagnostic pillar, not an afterthought.

During her special address, Lt. Gen. Dr. Madhuri Kanitkar (Retd) Former Vice-Chancellor, Maharashtra University of Health Sciences, Ex Dean AFMC, said, “Medicine is not only about curing disease; it is about understanding the human being in totality. Emoscape helps understand emotions through the lens of science and technology, bringing evidence to what we intuitively know: that emotional health is inseparable from physical health. This inauguration at Jehangir Wellness Centre is an important step in that direction.”

“At Jehangir Wellness Centre, we have always believed that true wellness lies in understanding the connection between the mind and body. Today, our centre marks yet another milestone at the forefront of progressive healthcare by integrating AI-driven emotional assessment into our holistic care,”- said Mr Cowas Jehangir, Trustee – Jehangir Hospital.

“At Nihilent, our mission has always been to humanise technology, to make innovation serve life itself. One of the most meaningful ways to do that is by helping healthcare see what has always been invisible: our emotions. Emoscape was born from that belief, that the mind and body are one system, and that understanding emotions is essential to healing. Seeing it now become part of healthcare, helping doctors and patients connect emotional patterns with physical well-being, is deeply rewarding,” said Mr L.C. Singh, Founder- Executive Vice Chairman, Nihilent.

“Emoscape represents the next frontier in integrative healthcare. It bridges emotional awareness with medical insight, giving us a more complete understanding of each individual’s health journey. At Jehangir Wellness Centre, our commitment has always been to the overall well-being of an individual. This collaboration with Nihilent is a step toward more complete, compassionate healthcare.” – said Mr Vinod Sawantwadkar, CEO, Jehangir Hospital.

Jehangir Wellness Centre stands out as the only centre that truly embodies holistic wellness, with a focus on the body, mind, and soul. Through its comprehensive health packages, allied therapies, and integration of innovative initiatives such as Emoscape, it exemplifies a complete and integrated approach to wellbeing.

At Jehangir Wellness Centre (JWC), Emoscape’s emotional assessment data is integrated with medical reports to give clinicians a holistic view of each patient and guide more precise interventions. The platform is already gaining traction across age groups—from working professionals managing burnout to adolescents in transition, senior citizens coping with loneliness, and wellness seekers building resilience.

Each scan is confidential and ethically processed, reinforcing JWC’s commitment to safe and integrative care. This launch also marks Emoscape’s first institutional partnership in healthcare. Having been tested across healthcare, learning, sports, and corporate settings, its adoption at JWC signals a broader shift toward emotion-centric, technology-enabled wellness models within hospitals and clinics. JWC is leading this evolution by placing emotional insight at the centre of the healing process.

More than a single-day observance, it was envisioned as a journey of compassion, empowerment, and shared human experience.

Shri Ravindra Chamaria, Founding Trustee, Jagriti Dham shared – At Jagriti Dham, we believe that life’s true richness lies in connection — between generations, experiences, and emotions. This initiative beautifully reflects that belief, reminding us that compassion and care have no age”

Insights that Inspire: A Focus on Health and Heart

The highlight of the day was a special address and interactive session by Dr. Debasis Basu, a renowned diabetologist. Dr. Basu’s talk, “Insights that Inspire,” delved into preventive elderly care, lifestyle balance, and the evolving management of diabetes, especially among senior citizens and children. His compassionate approach and deep expertise promised to leave participants both informed and motivated to take small, meaningful steps toward better health.

The interactive nature of the session allowed attendees to share real-life experiences and concerns, creating a platform for dialogue between medical experts, residents, and families of Type 1 diabetic children — fondly referred to as the “Little Warriors.”

The day’s proceedings were thoughtfully curated to blend education, engagement, and emotion. It began with a warm welcome to guests, residents, and the “Type 1 Diabetes Little Warriors,” creating a heartwarming space for intergenerational bonding and shared joy. This was followed by an engaging knowledge-sharing session led by expert nutritionists, focusing on practical insights into diabetes management and healthy nutrition for all age groups. In the afternoon, Dr. Debasis Basu led a special session featuring a short film and an interactive discussion on preventive health, emotional well-being, and lifestyle awareness. The event concluded on a soulful note with a special musical program, celebrating the timeless connection between generations through the harmony of music.

Smt. Bibha Sengupta, a 92-year-old legendary Rabindra Sangeet artist, graced the stage with her timeless voice, embodying the wisdom and beauty of age. She was joined by Sharmi Roynandi Dhar, a dynamic new-generation performer, representing the bridge between tradition and modern expression.

Shri Pulak Chamaria, Trustee, Jagriti Dham shared – Every moment shared between a child and an elder carries immense emotional value. Events like these strengthen the bonds of empathy while inspiring both generations to learn from one another”

Empathy, Awareness, and Connection

Through Celebrating Life Across Generations, Metta Foundation and the best retirement living community in Kolkata – Jagriti Dham underscored the importance of empathy and active engagement across age groups. The event was not just about raising awareness of diabetes, but about celebrating life in all its stages — from the innocence of childhood to the wisdom of later years.

By inviting Type 1 diabetic children to interact with senior residents, the organizers aimed to foster mutual understanding, break stereotypes, and build emotional support systems. Such shared experiences reminded participants that health and happiness thrive in communities where compassion and knowledge coexist.

About the Organizers

Metta Foundation is a social initiative that focuses on holistic health, community engagement, and compassionate care for vulnerable groups.

Jagriti Dham, Luxury Senior Citizen Homes in Kolkata, is a serene residential community for elders, known for its dedication to wellness, dignity, and meaningful living in the golden years.

From Chai Breaks to Boardrooms: Cranberries Power India’s Healthy Snacking Boom

Desk News — Mon, 17 Nov 2025 18:00:14 +0530

New Delhi [India], November 17: India’s snacking habits are getting a healthy makeover, and cranberries are at the centre of this change. Once seen as a festive import, the tangy red fruit is now part of daily diets, showing up in granola bars, smoothies, and even office snack trays. The shift reflects a growing appetite for tasty yet nutritious options among urban Indians.

Health-conscious consumers are increasingly turning to dried fruits over fried treats. Packed with antioxidants and fibre, cranberries fit the bill perfectly, offering a sweet-tart flavor that appeals to younger consumers driving the “tart trend.” Brands are responding fast, adding U.S. cranberries to trail mixes, yogurts, and beverages to meet this rising demand.

Even workplaces are joining the movement. Traditional biscuit jars are making way for fruit-and-nut mixes during chai breaks, as companies promote mindful snacking. With their global appeal and wellness benefits, cranberries are not just transforming snack shelves, they’re reshaping how India eats between meals.

Beyond the Belly: How Cranberries Strengthen the Gut from Within

Desk News — Mon, 17 Nov 2025 18:00:07 +0530

Once known for urinary health, cranberries are now being recognised for their quiet power to balance the microbiome, fortify digestion and reduce inflammation from the inside out.

New Delhi [India], November 17: Long celebrated for their role in urinary tract health, cranberries are now being recognised for another quiet superpower — supporting digestion and gut wellness. Research conducted by US Cranberries and The Cranberry Institute suggests that the fruit’s unique mix of polyphenols and fibre may help cultivate a more balanced and resilient gut ecosystem.

Cranberries are naturally rich in polyphenols, the plant compounds best known for their antioxidant capacity. Scientists have found that these compounds act almost like prebiotics, selectively fuelling beneficial bacteria while curbing the growth of harmful ones. This microbial fine-tuning encourages greater bacterial diversity, which in turn improves digestion and overall metabolic function.

The fruit’s fibre, too, plays a key role. When fermented by gut microbes, it produces short-chain fatty acids such as butyrate and acetate — the same molecules that help reduce inflammation, strengthen immunity, and maintain the gut’s delicate lining. This means cranberries don’t just feed the body; they help build the chemical language that keeps it in balance.

Interestingly, regular cranberry consumption has been linked to measurable shifts in bacterial ratios. Researchers have observed a rise in Bacteroidetes, a group associated with healthy metabolism, and a reduction in Firmicutes, which are often linked to obesity and sluggish digestion. It’s a subtle yet significant change that underscores how cranberries may improve gut efficiency without the need for drastic dietary overhauls.

There’s also evidence that cranberry compounds support the intestinal barrier — the microscopic wall that keeps pathogens and toxins from leaking into the bloodstream. A strong barrier reduces the risk of chronic inflammation, a silent trigger for diseases ranging from diabetes to heart conditions.

With hundreds of studies exploring their benefits, cranberries are steadily carving out their place as a natural ally in digestive health. Whether consumed as juice, dried fruit, or whole berries, they offer a quiet kind of nourishment — one that doesn’t shout for attention, but steadily builds the foundation for long-term wellness.

The next time you see a handful of US Cranberries, think beyond their festive hue. These tiny fruits may be quietly rewriting the rules of gut health, one fibre strand and polyphenol molecule at a time.

Daradia Marks Foundation Day, Honoring Prof. P. Prithvi Raj and a Decade of Growth in Pain Medicine

Desk News — Fri, 14 Nov 2025 23:00:08 +0530

Kolkata (West Bengal) [India], November 14: The Pain Clinic commemorates its Foundation Day, marking the 12 November 2013 laying of the foundation stone of its current building by Prof. P. Prithvi Raj, legendary pioneer of interventional pain medicine and founder of the World Institute of Pain (WIP). In a letter to Founder-Director Dr. Gautam Das, Prof. Raj praised his “untiring efforts and dedication,” acknowledging the determination that carried Daradia from a single-floor practice in September 2008 to beginning operations in the purpose-built facility on 5 November 2018—and onward to its present role as a leader in patient care, physician education, and research.

Over the past decade, Daradia has scaled a comprehensive, image-guided model of care that aligns clinical decision-making with rigorous training and measurable outcomes. The institute hosts an annual international conference featuring global faculty, case-based teaching, and live demonstrations. Its peer-reviewed editorial work around musculoskeletal ultrasound underscores the clinic’s emphasis on anatomy, imaging, and safety in practice. A robust slate of online courses and fellowships has trained 4,500+ physicians worldwide through structured curricula, case discussions, and proctored evaluations that translate directly to the bedside. Hands-on learning remains central: cadaveric workshops every three months attract 150+ participants to master ultrasound-guided MSK interventions and C-arm-guided spine procedures in small groups. Details on upcoming hands-on programs are available at Daradia’s cadaveric workshop page (https://www.daradia.com/cadaver-workshop), while broader information on the institute’s clinical and educational mission can be found at the main site (https://www.daradia.com).

Daradia’s performance has been recognized nationally and internationally. Early milestones include the Excellence in Pain Practice (EPP) Award from the World Institute of Pain and the “Best Pain Clinic in India” citation from the Indian Society for Study of Pain (ISSP)—honors that reinforced the clinic’s founding commitment to evidence-based protocols, imaging verification, and longitudinal follow-up. These same principles now inform fellowship assessments, simulator-assisted learning, and the clinic’s expanding repository of procedural pathways.

The institute’s facilities integrate service with education. Five ultrasound machines support intensive MSK ultrasound learning alongside daily clinical use, while four C-arm fluoroscopy units enable advanced interventional procedures and faculty-supervised training. A dedicated institutional ethics committee oversees investigator-initiated and collaborative studies in pain medicine, ensuring research governance and enabling a steady pipeline of projects that refine protocols, curricula, and quality-improvement metrics. Trainees work through step-by-step pathways, live demonstration checklists, and post-course assessments so that what is taught is what is practiced—safely, consistently, and compassionately.

“On Foundation Day we honor Prof. P. Prithvi Raj, who laid our foundation stone on 12 November 2013—his vision still guides us as we train compassionate clinicians and expand access to precise, image-guided pain care,” said Dr. Sushpa Das, Chief Consultant, Daradia. “Our focus remains on translating anatomy and imaging into reproducible techniques that improve patient outcomes.”

Daradia’s one-year fellowship consolidates this philosophy, preparing physicians for independent, guideline-driven practice with sustained mentorship and outcomes tracking. The program’s hybrid design blends asynchronous foundations, live virtual case rounds, and in-person labs, reinforcing diagnostic reasoning and procedural safety. Complementary short-format online certificates provide modular entry points for working clinicians, while alumni communities facilitate second opinions, case audits, and collaborative research across regions.

All About Robotic Hip Replacement at Jehangir Hospital Precision, Safety and Faster Recovery with Cutting-Edge Technology

Desk News — Thu, 13 Nov 2025 00:00:17 +0530

Pune (Maharashtra) [India], November 12: Hip pain can be life-altering. Whether caused by arthritis, injury, or age-related wear and tear, it can limit mobility, disrupt daily activities, and significantly reduce quality of life. According to recent estimates, more than 80 million people worldwide live with hip osteoarthritis, and in India alone, thousands undergo hip replacement surgery every year. Studies show that hip replacement surgery has a success rate of over 95%, offering patients lasting pain relief and improved mobility for decades.

For many individuals, hip replacement surgery is the key to regaining independence—enabling them to walk, exercise, and return to an active, fulfilling life. At Jehangir Hospital, Pune, we are proud to offer Robotic Hip Replacement Surgery—a revolutionary advancement that combines the expertise of highly experienced surgeons with the precision and accuracy of robotic technology. This modern, patient-focused approach ensures safer procedures, superior implant positioning, quicker recovery, and longer-lasting results, setting a new benchmark in orthopaedic care.

Why Robotic Hip Replacement is a Game-Changer

Traditional hip replacement surgery relies heavily on manual techniques and the surgeon’s expertise during the procedure. While highly effective, there remains a small margin for human error—particularly in implant alignment and placement—both of which are critical for long-term success and natural movement.

Robotic-assisted hip replacement eliminates this uncertainty by introducing next-generation precision at every stage of surgery. Using 3D imaging and advanced computer-guided systems, the robotic platform creates a personalised surgical plan tailored to each patient’s unique anatomy. During the operation, it provides real-time feedback, enabling the surgeon to make precise, data-driven adjustments that ensure optimal outcomes.

Benefits for Patients

Unmatched precision in implant placement and alignment
Minimally invasive techniques with smaller incisions and less tissue damage
Reduced pain and blood loss during and after surgery
Faster rehabilitation and an earlier return to normal activities
Improved mobility with a natural range of motion
Lower risk of complications and revision surgeries

These benefits not only improve immediate post-surgical recovery but also extend the lifespan of the implant, giving patients long-term comfort and confidence in their movement. Robotic hip replacement is suitable for patients suffering from:

Advanced osteoarthritis or rheumatoid arthritis of the hip
Avascular necrosis – loss of blood supply to the hip joint
Hip fractures and traumatic injuries
Congenital deformities or developmental hip disorders
Failed previous hip surgeries requiring revision

By combining advanced diagnostics with robotic precision, Jehangir Hospital ensures more predictable and successful outcomes, even in the most complex cases.

At Jehangir Hospital, we understand that surgery is only one part of the healing journey. Recovery and rehabilitation play an equally vital role in restoring full mobility and strength. Our state-of-the-art Physiotherapy and Rehabilitation Department works closely with the surgical team to deliver customised rehabilitation programmes tailored to each patient’s condition, age, and lifestyle. From the moment a patient undergoes surgery, their recovery plan is designed specifically for them—ensuring that every exercise and therapy session is safe, effective, and goal-oriented. This integrated approach leads to:

Faster recovery timelines
Reduced risk of complications
Improved strength and balance
Higher levels of patient confidence and independence

Many patients can stand and walk with support within 24–48 hours of surgery, setting them on a path towards regaining their mobility and independence.

Dr Ashish Arbat, a Senior Orthopaedic and Robotic Surgeon with Extensive Experience in Joint Replacement Surgery, says, “Robotic technology has completely transformed the way we perform hip replacements. Every patient’s hip anatomy is unique. This technology enables us to customise each procedure with extraordinary precision. The real-time feedback it provides minimises errors, ensures ideal implant positioning, and most importantly, gives patients faster recovery and long-term results. It truly combines surgical expertise with innovation – delivering the very best outcomes.”

Jehangir Hospital is committed to ensuring that advanced robotic surgeries remain affordable and accessible to the community. By offering world-class technology and comprehensive care under one roof, we ensure patients no longer need to travel to larger metropolitan cities or abroad for cutting-edge treatment.

Desk News — Mon, 10 Nov 2025 15:00:17 +0530

Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], November 10: Redefining the Future of Cancer Care Through Science, Spirituality, and Integrative Healing

Sudhanshu Pandey & Rohit Roy attended as special guests.

In a groundbreaking step that bridges advanced medical science with the timeless wisdom of holistic healing, Dr. Tarang Krishna has launched the Cancer Healer Center & Integrative Hospital in Thane.

Envisioned as a sanctuary for true healing, the hospital brings together the best of modern oncology, personalized immunotherapy, precision diagnostics, Ayurveda, yoga, nutrition, mental wellness, spiritual therapy, and longevity science — all under one roof.

This initiative marks not just an evolution in medicine but a soulful revolution in healthcare — a place where cutting-edge cancer treatments harmoniously meet ancient Indian traditions. Here, patients are guided toward complete well-being — not merely to be cured, but to be healed in body, mind, and spirit.

The newly launched facility also emphasizes preventive and regenerative health, offering specialized programs that address lifestyle disorders, post-treatment recovery, and immunity enhancement. By combining the precision of medical innovation with the nurturing touch of natural therapies, the center aims to empower individuals to take charge of their health journeys through awareness, compassion, and continuous care.

At its core, the Cancer Healer Center & Integrative Hospital stands as a symbol of hope and transformation — a movement that challenges conventional boundaries of healthcare. With its patient-first philosophy and integrative model, it envisions a world where cancer care is not defined by fear, but by faith, resilience, and the promise of holistic healing.

Dr. Tarang Krishna, MD (Cancer Healer Center), is globally recognized as a pioneering Cancer Healer, visionary thought leader, author, and humanitarian. For decades, he has been at the forefront of alternative and immunotherapy-based cancer care, driven by an unwavering commitment to bring hope to the hopeless and light to those navigating the darkest journeys of illness.

“Healing is not just about removing the disease; it’s about restoring balance, peace, and purpose to life. At the Cancer Healer Center & Integrative Hospital, we are creating a space where science meets soul, where every patient is seen, heard, and healed in their entirety,”
— Dr. Tarang Krishna, MD – Cancer Healer Center

Rohit Roy says:

“I really liked the idea behind Dr. Tarang’s Cancer Healer Center — not just in Thane but as a whole concept. It’s not just about treating cancer but helping people heal completely, physically and mentally. That approach is rare and very needed in today’s time. With the right care and the right mindset, things can get better. This center is trying to make sure that no one feels alone in that fight.”

Sudhanshu Pandey says:

“I think it’s a wonderful initiative by Dr. Tarang through Cancer Healer Center. It’s time we looked at healthcare in a more complete way — not just focusing on the illness but on the person as a whole. Healing the mind and body together is what true wellness is about. The idea that this hospital treats patients with empathy, nutrition, and therapy along with medical care is something I really admire.”

With this launch, Dr. Krishna continues to redefine the narrative of healthcare, placing the individual — not the illness — at the heart of the healing journey.

Because the future of healing is here — and it’s whole, conscious, and limitless.

SSO Cancer Hospital and Rotary Club Launch Mega Cervical Cancer Screening Drive across Mumbai

Desk News — Mon, 10 Nov 2025 15:00:08 +0530

Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], November 10: In a major step towards women’s health and cancer prevention, the Rotary Club of Mumbai District 3141, in collaboration with SSO Cancer Hospital, an organ-specific cancer hospital, is conducting a mega cervical cancer screening initiative across 16 locations in Mumbai, covering over 1,100 beneficiaries in a single day.

The camps were held across key city areas, including Santacruz, Goregaon, Mahim, Mulund, Mankhurd, Wadala, Goregaon (E), Vikhroli, Colaba, Walkeshwar, Worli, Charni Road, Andheri (W), and Dahisar (W), making this one of the largest coordinated cervical screening drives in the city.

The initiative aims to spread awareness about the importance of early detection of cervical cancer, which remains one of the most preventable yet life-threatening cancers among Indian women. Each camp will offer free Pap smears and screening consultations, alongside educational talks on women’s health and preventive care. Speaking on the occasion, Dr Sanket Mehta, Founder & Surgical Oncologist, SSO Cancer Hospital, said, “At SSO Cancer Hospital, we see hundreds of women each year who are diagnosed with cervical cancer at a stage when treatment becomes complex and outcomes are poorer. Yet, the heart-breaking truth is that over 80% of these cases are preventable through early screening. This initiative with Rotary is not just about conducting camps — it’s about reaching women where they are, educating them about prevention, and enabling timely diagnosis. Our goal is to ensure that every woman, regardless of background, has access to life-saving screening and care.”

Dr Manish Motwani, District Governor, Rotary Club District 3141, added, “Every 8 minutes, a woman in India loses her life to cervical cancer — a disease that is both preventable and curable if detected early. Through this collaboration with SSO Cancer Hospital, Rotary is taking a proactive step to change that reality. By screening over 1,100 women across 16 locations in a single day, we aim to bring awareness, access, and action to the forefront. This partnership represents the true spirit of Rotary, using collective strength and compassion to make a measurable difference in community health.”

This large-scale initiative reflects the shared commitment of Rotary Club and SSO Cancer Hospital to create a healthier, more informed community, one where no woman is left behind in the fight against cervical cancer. This program aims to set a new benchmark for community-driven preventive healthcare in Mumbai, proving that early detection is not only possible but also powerful.

New YouTube health channel In Good Hands launches — bringing credible, conversational healthcare conversations to every Indian home

Desk News — Fri, 07 Nov 2025 21:30:11 +0530

New Delhi [India], November 7: Today marks the launch of In Good Hands — a new YouTube podcast channel (also called #InGoodHands) created to demystify healthcare for everyday Indians. The channel will publish expert-led, easy-to-understand conversations on health, wellness, diagnostics, technology, cost and access to care — presented in a warm, non-technical style that puts people first.

The channel was formally launched at a special event held at IILM University, Greater Noida, in the presence of Padma Bhushan Dr. T.S. Kler, Chairman Pan Max & HOD – BLK-Max Heart & Vascular Institute, New Delhi, who delivered an inspiring keynote address on “Why India’s Young Adults Face Rising Cardiac Risks.” The program began with a welcome note by Dr. Taruna Gautam, Vice Chancellor, IILM University, followed by an introductory address by Mr. Vishal Salhotra, Founding Partner of In Good Hands.

The event also featured an engaging Q&A session with students, campus interactions on heart health, and the official on-stage announcement of the In Good Hands YouTube channel launch. The day concluded with felicitation of key contributors and a warm vote of thanks to all dignitaries and partners for supporting this important health awareness initiative.

In Good Hands is aimed at anyone who seeks reliable health information without medical jargon: parents, caregivers, young adults making healthcare decisions for the first time, and older adults navigating chronic conditions. Each episode pairs experienced clinicians and health technologists with seasoned media professionals so complex medical topics are explained simply, empathetically and with clear, actionable takeaways.

“We started In Good Hands because we believe clear health information changes outcomes,” said the channel’s founding editorial team. “People deserve accurate, practical answers — not fear or confusion — and that’s what every episode will deliver.”

What makes In Good Hands different?

Plain-language conversations: Medical experts explain conditions, diagnostics and treatments in everyday language — no jargon, just useful answers.

Format diversity: Long-form interviews for in-depth understanding, short explainer clips for quick learning, and bite-sized reels for social sharing and immediate takeaways.

Accessibility-first production: Episodes will include clear summaries, visual explainers and practical cost / access information to help viewers make informed, local choices.

Fact-first editorial process: Medical content undergoes expert validation so recommendations are evidence-based and responsibly presented.

Audience-centred approach: Each episode addresses real questions people ask — from “what to expect at a diagnosis” to “how to find affordable care nearby.”

The team behind the channel

In Good Hands is driven by a core editorial and creative team of journalists and media professionals working alongside medical experts. The team includes experienced health journalist Sweta Ranjan, whose background in broadcast and digital storytelling shapes the channel’s editorial voice.

Joining the editorial leadership are media & production professionals and strategic communications specialists (including Waqar Ahmed, Vishal Salhotra and Rupesh Mishra), who together handle programming, partnerships and audience outreach. The combined experience of journalists and creatives ensures each episode is both authoritative and engaging.

Formats & planned content (overview)

Rather than focus on a single series, In Good Hands will run a range of formats across health topics:

Expert Conversations: 30–50 minute podcasts with senior clinicians and technologists explaining a medical topic end-to-end.

Quick Explainers: 5–10 minute videos that break down symptoms, tests and treatment options.

Patient Stories & Case Files: Real-world journeys that spotlight lived experiences, affordability and decision points.

Technology Spotlights: Short features on accessible medical devices, telemedicine and diagnostics changing care in India.

Community Clinics: Episodes exploring local access, public health initiatives and how viewers can navigate services in their city or town.

For Indian media: why does this matter now?

India needs reliable, relatable health communication more than ever. With health tech adoption rising and health information circulating rapidly online, In Good Hands aims to be a compact, trustworthy source that Indian newsrooms and health communicators can point their audiences to — especially when medical topics are complex or controversial. The channel’s production approach and editorial checks make it well-suited for repurposing by TV, digital publishers and radio.

Availability & where to watch?

Episodes are now available on the In Good Hands YouTube channel. The team will release a regular schedule of episodes and short-form clips designed for easy sharing across social platforms.

Dame Health’s Bio-CoQ10 Gains Attention as Clinically Backed Antioxidant Supplement for Men’s and Women’s Fertility and Energy

Desk News — Thu, 06 Nov 2025 12:30:10 +0530

New Delhi [India], November 5: As couples and individuals increasingly seek preventive and evidence-based wellness solutions, Dame Health, India’s first science-backed women’s health and wellness brand co-founded by gynecologist Dr Rajeev Agarwal and his son Sahil Agarwal, is spotlighting its Bio-CoQ10 formula, a highly bioavailable antioxidant supplement designed to support both men’s and women’s fertility, cellular energy, and overall vitality.

“Fertility isn’t just a woman’s journey. When one partner is supported but the other isn’t, the picture remains incomplete,” says Dr Rajeev Agarwal, Co-Founder, Dame Health. “With Bio-CoQ10, we have developed a formulation that addresses egg and sperm health, energy metabolism, and antioxidant protection, all grounded in clinical science tailored for Indian adults.”

Why Bio-CoQ10 Matters

Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) is widely studied for supporting cellular energy and protecting cells from oxidative stress. Oxidative stress occurs when there is an imbalance between free radicals and antioxidants in the body, which can impact fertility, energy levels, and overall health.

Dame Health’s Bio-CoQ10 is formulated to be highly bioavailable, meaning the body can actually use it efficiently. The supplement is tailored to the nutritional needs of Indian adults and is designed to support reproductive health for couples trying to conceive, while also helping anyone looking to maintain energy and vitality in their day-to-day life.

“In our clinics and outreach, we meet men who say ‘I want to support this for us’ and women who say ‘I don’t want just a generic supplement’,” adds Sahil Agarwal, Co-Founder. “Dame Health has always stood for clarity, education, and root-cause solutions, not a one-size-fits-all approach. Bio-CoQ10 embodies that belief.”

Real Benefits, Backed by Science

Unlike many supplements on the market, Bio-CoQ10 isn’t about hype. It’s about practical, everyday benefits that people can feel:

●Fertility Support for Women: Antioxidants in CoQ10 help reduce cellular stress, supporting egg quality and reproductive health.

With scientific evidence supporting its efficacy, CoQ10 provides women with useful reproductive support. Outcomes for women who take Bio CoQ10 supplements.

○Improves Pregnancy Rates Through IVF
CoQ10 increased clinical pregnancy rates in women with reduced ovarian reserve (RR = 1.57, P = 0.01). [Shang et al., 2024]

○Increases the Number Of Oocytes and Embryo Quality
CoQ10 led to more retrieved oocytes, mature oocytes, and high-quality embryos in IVF patients. [Shang et al., 2024]

○Boosts Fertilization Rates
CoQ10 improved fertilization rates in IVF, with a significant increase (RR = 1.16). [Shang et al., 2024]

●Fertility Support for Men: CoQ10 has been linked to improved sperm motility and overall sperm health, giving couples a more comprehensive approach to conception.

Systematic review of clinical trials and studies evaluating the effects of coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) supplementation on semen parameters and male infertility found:

○Significant improvements in sperm density and motility (Safarinejad et al., 2009, p = 0.01)

○Increased acrosome reaction, a key factor in sperm function (Safarinejad et al., 2009, p = 0.01)

○A positive correlation between seminal CoQ10 levels and sperm motility (Balercia et al., 2004, r = 0.54; p < 0.05)

●Boosted Energy Levels: By supporting cellular energy production, Bio-CoQ10 helps reduce fatigue and maintain consistent energy throughout the day.

●Clean, Trusted Formulation: Each batch is third-party tested, free from fillers, artificial sweeteners, and underdosed blends.

A Brand That Puts Care First

Dame Health isn’t just a supplement company. It’s a care company, founded to offer clarity, guidance, and support where the system often leaves people in the dark. “We don’t just sell a pill,” says Sahil Agarwal. “We guide people with information they can trust, so they can make choices that actually help them feel better, day by day.”

The brand’s philosophy is simple: education first, products second. Every recommendation, whether for Bio-CoQ10 or other supplements, is based on evidence, not trends. For couples trying to conceive, this approach matters because fertility is a shared journey and solutions need to consider both partners.

Supporting Real-Life Health Goals

Bio-CoQ10 is designed for adults planning for parenthood, but is also useful for anyone wanting to stay energised and support cellular health. Urban lifestyles, stress, and poor nutrition can affect both energy and reproductive health. This supplement provides a practical, research-backed tool to complement a balanced diet, exercise, and medical guidance.

Designed for Indian Needs

Global supplements often miss local requirements, such as dietary deficiencies and lifestyle challenges unique to India. Dame Health’s Bio-CoQ10 is specifically tailored for Indian adults, factoring in common nutritional gaps, metabolism, and health priorities. This ensures that the formula delivers real, usable benefits rather than just promises.

“Many products are marketed globally but aren’t suitable for Indian diets or health challenges,” adds Sahil Agarwal. “We formulated Bio-CoQ10 with our people in mind. It’s not just about being antioxidant-rich. It’s about being effective in the context of Indian lifestyles.”

A Commitment to Transparency

Dame Health builds trust through transparency. Every batch of Bio-CoQ10 is third-party tested, and the brand communicates openly about ingredients, benefits, and clinical backing. No gimmicks or exaggerated claims. Clear, practical guidance for people trying to make informed choices.

About Dame Health

Founded in 2021, Dame Health is India’s first science-backed women’s health and wellness brand. It combines preventive care, nutrition, and education to address real health needs with no shortcuts or compromises. The brand focuses on women’s health but recognises that men play a critical role in reproductive outcomes, offering products like Bio-CoQ10 to support couples together.

Dr. Yash Pandey Honoured by London & Asian Book of Record for 1000 Surgeries in 100 Days

Desk News — Wed, 05 Nov 2025 17:00:10 +0530

New Delhi [India], November 4: The intention of performing surgeries faster sounds thrilling, but it also raises questions. Can speed truly match safety in modern medicine? With hospitals constantly racing against time, surgical departments across India are exploring efficiency like never before. Operating rooms now blend robotics, AI, and precision timing. Yet the fine line between swiftness and expertise keeps the medical world on edge.

Over the last decade, minimal access surgery has reshaped how India views recovery and patient comfort. It was once limited to metro hospitals. Laparoscopic procedures have now reached small towns. Now, it is allowing patients to heal faster with fewer scars. Surgeons trained in this technique follow a delicate rhythm. Now, speed must never overshadow accuracy. The London Book of Records and Asian Book of Records recognitions often reflect this balance between innovation and human touch.

Dr Yash Pandey’s name stormed headlines after he performed 1,000 surgeries in just 100 days. He has earned recognition from both the London Book of Records and the Asian Book of Records as India’s Fastest Surgeon. Based in Varanasi, he proved that medical excellence isn’t confined to big cities. Behind this milestone was not just speed but flawless execution. Every operation echoes teamwork, discipline, and years of surgical precision.

India has steadily climbed the ranks in global medical achievements. There have been multiple entries in the London Book of Records and the Asian Book of Records. These have been recognising innovations in surgery, transplants, and healthcare delivery. In the last five years, Indian doctors have been awarded for robotic surgeries. They are also awarded for complex heart procedures and record-setting operations. These are performed under strict safety protocols. These recognitions not only celebrate personal milestones. But these also reflect India’s commitment to modernising its healthcare infrastructure. India’s reputation is expanding for speed, precision, and advanced surgical expertise on the world stage. Dr Yash Pandey’s achievement adds another chapter to India’s expanding reputation.

This recognition goes far beyond one surgeon’s achievement. It highlights India’s evolving healthcare ecosystem. These hospitals balance patient load, affordability, and innovation. As surgery becomes faster and more advanced, the demand for ethical precision grows stronger. Many see this as a turning point. It is urging the medical world to focus not only on records but also on redefining quality benchmarks.

The next generation of surgeons is watching closely. Medical institutes are shifting from traditional methods to robotic guidance and smart surgical simulations. Yet amidst all this progress, one truth stands. The truth is that speed alone cannot heal, but compassion does. Dr Pandey’s journey reflects the harmony of technology and empathy. This is reminding India that the best surgeries aren’t just fast, they’re deeply human at heart.

Echosens Opens Regional Headquarters in India, Strengthens Commitment to Liver Health Across South Asia

Desk News — Mon, 03 Nov 2025 19:00:07 +0530

Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], November 3: Echosens, the leader in non-invasive liver diagnostics, today announced the opening of its new regional headquarters* in Mumbai, India. The new office in the Bandra Kurla Complex (BKC) will serve as the company’s hub for operations across South Asia, expanding access to FibroScan® in India, Bangladesh, Bhutan, The Maldives, Nepal, and Sri Lanka.

Echosens has been present in India for more than 15 years and has earned wide acceptance among the medical community. The establishment of the South Asia headquarters underscores the company’s long-term commitment to advancing liver health in a region where metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) and other chronic liver conditions are on the rise.

MASLD affects an estimated 38.6% of adults and 35.4% of children in India. Among people living with type 2 diabetes, the prevalence is as high as 70%. Lifestyle, diet, and rising rates of obesity have contributed to this growing public health challenge.

Blue Cross Launches India’s First-Ever Initiative to Stop Period Pain

Desk News — Mon, 03 Nov 2025 16:49:18 +0530

#StopThePeriodPain – Don’t take period pain lightly. It is a real medical issue.

New Delhi [India], November 3: In 2020, a single word changed how we looked at health forever: pandemic. COVID-19 became the defining moment of our generation — the first time most of us witnessed a global health crisis unfold in real time. We watched cities lock down, hospitals overflow, and humanity unite to fight an invisible threat. The world’s collective focus was on survival, and we learned how powerful awareness and action could be when everyone comes together for a cause.

But while we’ve been fighting visible pandemics like COVID-19 — and even tackling chronic diseases such as diabetes, hypertension, and heart ailments through national awareness drives — there’s another silent health crisis that has quietly affected millions of women for decades. One that rarely makes headlines, is barely discussed, and has never been treated like the public health issue it truly is.

That crisis is Dysmenorrhea, or what most people simply call period pain.

“Dysmenorrhea, or period pain, affects an estimated 80% of Indian girls and women,”

explains Dr Prabhu Kasture, Director, Medical Services & Pharmacovigilance at Blue Cross Laboratories.

“It is, without a doubt, India’s biggest gynaecological problem. Yet, there have been no national campaigns, no government programs, no large-scale education drives to address it. Because somewhere along the way, menstrual pain stopped being viewed as a health issue. It was normalized — brushed aside with a single dismissive line: ‘It’s just part of being a woman.’”

This cultural conditioning is what the “Stop The Period Pain” campaign aims to change.

We’ve seen campaigns that have made great strides in menstrual hygiene awareness — promoting the use of sanitary napkins and improving access to basic hygiene products.

But #StopThePeriodPain is a step beyond hygiene. It’s the first campaign in India that directly addresses the root cause — the pain itself.

Ashish Shirsat, Sr. Executive Director, Blue Cross Laboratories, explains it perfectly:

“‘Period pain to sabko hota hai’ — this one sentence has normalized menstrual pain for generations. It has placed every kind of pain, from mild discomfort to debilitating cramps, into one bucket. But not all pain is normal. Some of it signals deeper health issues — and ignoring it can have lifelong consequences.”

This normalization has created a dangerous silence around menstrual health.

Girls miss school. Women skip work. Yet most accept this suffering as something they “just have to deal with.”

Pachanan Routray, Sr. Marketing Director, Blue Cross Laboratories, adds:

“We have massive gynaecological problems in India — 80% of girls experience dysmenorrhea. Many of them live with conditions like endometriosis, adenomyosis, or uterine fibroids — all forms of secondary dysmenorrhea — but they go undiagnosed for years because we’ve been taught that period pain is normal. That mindset must change.”

That’s the heart of the message — excessive period pain is not normal.
As the campaign says: “Isko halke mein mat lo.”

The Stop The Period Pain website goes beyond just tools. It’s a complete ecosystem for education and empowerment — featuring personal stories, expert advice, FAQs, and science-backed insights into period pain. It acts as a single, comprehensive guide for girls and women who’ve long suffered in silence, unsure where to turn or what their pain really means.

The message is simple yet powerful: This is not a small problem. Period pain — or dysmenorrhea — is a silent pandemic that affects millions of Indian women and girls, disrupting their education, careers, and quality of life.

Just as the world came together to fight COVID-19, it’s time to unite against this invisible yet deeply personal health crisis — through awareness, education, and empathy.

“Stop The Period Pain” is more than a campaign.
It’s a movement to change how India talks about women’s health — one conversation, one video, one click at a time.

Founded in 1980 by Chairman Mr. N.H. Israni, Blue Cross Laboratories is one of India’s leading research-based, fast-growing pharmaceutical companies. It provides world-class quality and affordable healthcare products to people across the globe with the aim of improving human life.

The Perfect Winter Combo: How these 3 Oshea Herbals Products Transform Your Skin Routine

Desk News — Fri, 31 Oct 2025 19:30:15 +0530

New Delhi [India], October 31: Winter is beautiful until your skin decides otherwise. The drop in temperature brings dullness, dryness, and that uncomfortable, tight feeling you just can’t ignore. And this is where the Papayaclean Trio from Oshea Herbals: a perfect combination of Face Wash, Face Cream, and Face Serum powered by the goodness of papaya extract – comes in. It’s a clean, refreshing, and glow-boosting ritual that keeps your skin soft, hydrated, and blemish-free, even through the harshest winter winds. Here’s why this simple three-step combo can completely transform your winter skincare game.

1. Start Fresh: Papayaclean Anti-Blemish Facewash

If you’ve ever used a face wash that left your skin feeling tight or dry, you know that not all cleansers are kind. The Papayaclean Anti-Blemish Facewash from Oshea Herbals is a refreshing change. Infused with papaya extract and Vitamin E, this face wash deep cleanses without stripping away moisture. The secret lies in papain, an enzyme found in papaya that gently exfoliates dead skin cells, removes impurities, and helps fade blemishes over time. Unlike harsh cleansers, this one is designed for all skin types from oily to pigmented or even combination skin. The result is a face that feels clean, not squeaky. Hydrated, not dry. Just smooth, supple, and naturally glowing.

Why it’s your winter essential:

Because even when the weather is dull, your skin shouldn’t be. Use it twice daily, and you’ll notice your skin looking clearer, brighter, and more alive.

2. Seal the Magic: Papayaclean Anti-Blemish Face Serum

If you haven’t introduced a serum into your winter routine yet, this might just be your new obsession. The Papayaclean Anti-Blemish Face Serum is concentrated skincare in a bottle: designed to hydrate, repair, and rejuvenate your skin with every drop. Infused with papaya extract, this serum targets dark spots, pigmentation, and uneven skin tone while activating and rejuvenating skin cells. It enhances radiance and leaves your face with that post-facial glow but without the effort. Its lightweight, silky texture sinks right in, making it perfect for layering under your moisturizer or makeup. You’ll love how it instantly boosts hydration while giving your skin a smooth, luminous finish.

Why it’s your winter essential:

Winter can make skin look tired and lackluster. This serum brings it back to life: bright, even, and deeply hydrated.

3. Lock in the Glow: Papayaclean Face Cream with Anti-Blemish Formula

Cleansing preps your skin, but hydration seals the deal and this is where the Papayaclean Face Cream steps in like a winter hero. Rich yet lightweight, this cream works beautifully to enhance your complexion, fade dark spots, and deeply nourish your skin. Enriched with natural brightening agents, it works at a cellular level to reduce pigmentation and promote an even skin tone. It’s perfect for anyone battling dullness or patchiness that tends to flare up during cold months. The thing that makes it stand out is that it’s smooth, non-sticky, and instantly absorbent. Your skin feels soft and moisturized without that greasy after-feel. It’s the kind of product that makes you skip foundation because your skin already looks radiant.

Why it’s your winter essential:

Cold air pulls moisture out of your skin. This cream helps lock it back in, keeping your face soft, supple, and protected all day long.

Putting It All Together: The Glow Ritual

The beauty of the Papayaclean range lies in its simplicity. You don’t need a 10-step skincare routine. Instead, just three thoughtfully formulated products that work in harmony:

1. Cleanse with the Papayaclean Facewash to refresh and purify.

2. Repair and revive with the Papayaclean Face Serum for that lit-from-within radiance.

3. Moisturise with the Papayaclean Face Cream to soften and brighten.

Use this trio daily, and you’ll start noticing the difference: your skin will feel softer, look clearer, and glow naturally no matter how cold the weather gets. This winter, let papaya do what it does best i.e., bring out your skin’s natural brilliance. And with Oshea Herbals’ Papayaclean range, glowing skin isn’t a summer luxury anymore. It’s a winter essential.

Breast Cancer Awareness Month 2025: Experts on Finding “My Why” in the Fight Against Cancer

Desk News — Fri, 31 Oct 2025 15:08:11 +0530

New Delhi [India], October 31: Every October, Breast Cancer Awareness Month serves as a powerful reminder of the importance of early detection, timely treatment, and emotional resilience in the journey against cancer. This year, the conversation goes deeper — beyond medicine and into meaning. “Finding My Why” is about discovering the personal purpose that fuels strength, courage, and hope throughout the battle. From oncologists to survivors and advocates, experts share what drives them to keep fighting, innovating, and supporting others in their mission to defeat breast cancer — one story, one purpose, and one life at a time.

Dr. Amish Vora, MBBS, MD, DNB, DM (Medical Oncology), Director – HOPE Oncology Clinic, New Delhi

Cancer is not just a disease of the body — it deeply affects the mind and spirit. From the moment of diagnosis, patients often experience fear, anxiety, sadness, and uncertainty about the future. These emotions are completely natural, yet they often go unspoken. Mental health plays a crucial role in recovery — when the mind is supported, the body heals better. As a Medical Oncologist, I believe true healing happens when emotional well-being is cared for alongside medical treatment. Through counselling, compassion, and continuous support, we aim to help every patient find strength, peace, and hope — because fighting cancer is not just a physical battle, it’s an emotional journey too.

Keep a simple happiness mantra— heal the body, calm the mind & nurture the soul.

Dr. Irfan Bashir, MBBS, DNB, Fellowship St. Christopher (London), Senior Consultant & HOD Radiation Oncology, Chairman-Radiation Safety Committee, Batra Hospital, New Delhi

Breast cancer is one of the most common cancers affecting women worldwide, but early detection and timely treatment can make a life-saving difference. Awareness about regular screening, self-examination, and healthy lifestyle choices is essential to reduce the risk and improve outcomes. Women above the age of 40 are encouraged to undergo regular mammograms and clinical breast exams. However, awareness should begin much earlier. Every woman should learn how to perform a monthly self-breast examination to identify any unusual lumps, changes in size, shape, or skin texture. Early identification of these warning signs can lead to quicker diagnosis and better chances of recovery. Maintaining a balanced diet, exercising regularly, limiting alcohol consumption, and avoiding smoking can also help lower the risk. Emotional and social support for those diagnosed is equally important in their healing journey. Breast Cancer Awareness Month, observed every October, serves as a reminder that knowledge, vigilance, and support can save countless lives. Let us all spread awareness, encourage regular check-ups, and stand by those fighting this disease. Together, we can make a difference—because early detection truly saves lives.

Dr. Sachin Kadam, Consultant Oncosurgeon, Mumbai

Every October, a wave of pink—ribbons, lights, and campaigns—reminds us of breast cancer awareness. Yet, Breast Cancer Awareness Month 2025 is not just about wearing pink; it’s about changing perspectives. This year’s theme, “Every Story is Unique, Every Journey Matters,” shifts the focus from awareness to empowerment, from fear to proactive care, and from silence to open conversations. Breast cancer is not merely a disease—it’s a story that touches families, friends, and communities. The power to change that story lies not only in hospitals or laboratories but also in our choices, conversations, and vigilance.

Medicine today has advanced beyond detection to personalized oncology, genetic testing, and targeted therapy—helping identify risks earlier and treat cancers more effectively. Yet, science depends on one simple act: early attention. Recognizing changes, consulting a doctor, and regular screenings remain our strongest tools.

This October, let’s ensure awareness becomes action—because early detection is a lifeline. Together, our commitment, compassion, and courage can turn the pink ribbon into a true symbol of responsibility and hope.

Dr. Sneha Jha, DMRT, DNB (Radiation Oncology), HOD and Senior Consultant at Meherbai Tata Memorial Hospital, Jamshedpur

Every woman’s battle with breast cancer is a story of courage, faith, and resilience. At MTMH, we see every journey as unique — each patient inspiring us with her strength and determination. Breast cancer is not just a medical condition; it is a deeply emotional journey that unites patients, families, and doctors in the shared hope of healing and recovery. This Breast Cancer Awareness Month, we, the doctors of MTMH, Jamshedpur, led by Dr. Sneha Jha, salute every warrior who has faced or continues to face this challenge. We honour the survivors, support those in treatment, and remember those we have lost. Together, let’s continue spreading awareness, encouraging early detection, and offering compassion and care to all. Because every story deserves to be heard, and every journey truly matters.

Dr. B. Ravi Shankar, MD (CMC Vellore), DNB (RT), MRCP, ECMO (Medical Oncology), FESTRO (Radiation Oncology), PDCR, OCTT, MBA, Managing Director – Practicing at Visakhapatnam

October marks Breast Cancer Awareness Month, a global campaign dedicated to raising awareness, promoting early detection, and supporting those affected by breast cancer. The 2025 theme, “Every Story is Unique, Every Journey Matters,” reminds us that behind every diagnosis lies a deeply personal story of courage, resilience, and hope. Breast cancer remains the most diagnosed cancer among women worldwide—with 2.3 million new cases and 670,000 lives lost in 2022. These are not just numbers but represent mothers, daughters, sisters, and friends. While survival rates in high-income countries exceed 90%, they fall sharply in low- and middle-income regions due to disparities in access to care. The WHO Global Breast Cancer Initiative aims to bridge this gap through equitable access and stronger health systems. Awareness, therefore, becomes the first step toward prevention—because regular screenings, self-examinations, and timely consultations can save countless lives. My “why” in the fight against cancer is rooted in empathy and action. I believe no one should face this journey alone. I have witnessed how early detection transforms outcomes, and I stand with survivors, caregivers, and researchers in turning awareness into action—because together, we can save lives.

Dr. Chintan Safi, MBBS, MS, DNB, Fellowship in Minimally Invasive GI Surgery, Consultant – Robotic and Laparoscopic Surgical Oncologist, Ahmedabad

Dr. Chintan Safi is a distinguished consultant in robotic and laparoscopic surgical oncology, with a specialization in minimally invasive techniques for cancer care. He has trained and worked at leading centres including Tata Memorial Hospital (Mumbai) and holds extensive experience in frontier surgical oncology approaches.

With a commitment to transforming patient outcomes, Dr Safi emphasises the importance of identifying a deeply personal “why” in the fight against cancer. He encourages patients and caregivers alike to turn their struggle into a purpose-driven journey—not only fighting the disease, but empowering themselves through that process.

This Breast Cancer Awareness Month, Dr Safi highlights that finding one’s “why” becomes a catalyst for resilience, informed decision-making and purposeful action. By aligning medical care with personal meaning, he believes patients can navigate the challenges of diagnosis, treatment and beyond with greater clarity, strength and hope.

Dr. Ankur Prakash, BHMS (Gold Medalist, Pune), CCH, CGO, CSD, CCM, DPCC (Sri Lanka), MD (Medicine – Homoeopathy), Agra

October marks Breast Cancer Awareness Month 2025, a time to reflect on the courage, resilience, and determination of those affected by breast cancer. Dr. Ankur Prakash, a leading oncologist and advocate for women’s health, emphasizes the importance of finding “my why”—the personal motivation that drives patients, caregivers, and healthcare providers in the fight against cancer. Every patient’s journey is unique, and understanding one’s purpose in this journey can empower informed decisions, encourage early detection, and foster hope. “Finding your ‘why’ is about recognizing what matters most to you, whether it’s family, dreams, or simply the desire to live fully,” says Dr. Prakash. This month, let us raise awareness, support research, and encourage conversations that break stigmas, reminding everyone that every story is unique, every journey matters, and every action can make a difference.

Lung Association Steps Up with $22 Million in Research Funding as Federal Support for Science Wavers

Newsvoir Press Release — Wed, 29 Oct 2025 20:00:20 +0530

American Lung Association invests in leading scientists researching lung disease and lung cancer

CHICAGO, Oct. 29, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Today, the American Lung Association Research Institute announced it has invested $22 million in new research grants, clinical research and strategic partnerships to advance the understanding, diagnosis, treatment and prevention of lung disease. Research is vital to the American Lung Association’s mission to prevent lung disease and lung cancer, and to improve the lives of the 35 million people in the U.S. living with chronic lung disease.

This investment supports 130 researchers across the country, the Airways Clinical Research Centers (ACRC) Network, and key strategic research collaborations focused on finding ways to identify, treat, and ultimately cure lung disease. The Lung Association’s commitment comes amid a challenging year for public health and scientific research in the United States, marked by funding cuts and changes within the federal research infrastructure. Despite these obstacles, the organization continues to be one of the largest nonprofit funders of lifesaving lung research, supporting scientists at every stage of their careers.

“Research is the foundation for every breakthrough that improves lung health and saves lives,” said Harold Wimmer, President and CEO of the American Lung Association. “Even in the face of ongoing public health challenges and funding shifts at the federal level, the American Lung Association remains deeply committed to investing in innovative science and the researchers who drive it. Through our Research Institute, we continue to fill a critical gap in public research funding and bring hope to millions of people living with or at risk for lung disease and lung cancer.”

For the 2025–2026 funding cycle, the Lung Association awarded grants through a range of programs addressing many aspects of lung health, including: American Lung Association/AAAAI Allergic Respiratory Diseases Award, American Lung Association/ATS/CHEST Foundation Respiratory Health Equity Research Award, Catalyst Award, Emerging Respiratory Pathogens Award, Public Health & Public Policy Research Award, Hastings Innovation Award for Interstitial Lung Disease, Dalsemer Interstitial Lung Disease Award, Innovation Award, Indoor Air Award, and Lung Cancer Discovery Award.

Three recent grantees include:

Lung Cancer Discovery Award – Carla Concepcion, PhD, Columbia University. Dr. Concepcion’s project, titled “Finding Ways to Make SMARCA Therapy Even Better at Fighting Lung Cancer” seeks to adapt models to closely mimic SMARCA4-altered lung cancer, known to be aggressive. This project tests the use of the SMARCA2 protein to better understand and improve upon a promising new treatment for patients in need.
Public Health & Public Policy Research Award – Stephen Mein, MD, Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center. Dr. Mein’s study titled, “Will Cutting Medicare Drug Costs Help Black and Hispanic Adults to Obtain and Use Inhalers?” examines how the Inflation Reduction Act’s lower medication costs affect access to inhalers for older adults with asthma and COPD. It also aims to assess whether the policy helps Black and Hispanic adults obtain inhalers for improving their health.
Indoor Air Award – Alison G. Lee, MD, Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai. By tracking a cohort of pregnant women in Queens, New York, while working with community partners, Dr. Lee’s project, “Prenatal Indoor Air Pollution Exposure and Infant Lung Health,” explores how prenatal exposure to indoor air pollution affects lung development and future disease risk.

Each funded project undergoes a rigorous scientific peer-review process, ensuring that only the most promising, innovative and impactful research receives support. In addition to funding individual researchers, the American Lung Association Research Institute also supports the Airways Clinical Research Centers (ACRC) Network, the nation’s largest nonprofit network of clinical research centers dedicated to asthma and COPD treatment research.

The American Lung Association is currently accepting applications for its 2026–2027 research awards and grants cycle. For details about current funding opportunities, visit Lung.org/awards.

Deccan Health Care Launches Sugar-Free ENERGYDECC: A Breakthrough in Safe and Natural Energy Boosters

Desk News — Tue, 28 Oct 2025 00:30:16 +0530

Hyderabad (Telangana) [India], October 27: Deccan Health Care Limited (DHCL), a pioneering force in India’s nutraceutical, herbaceutical, and cosmeceutical sectors since 1996, continues to set new benchmarks in health innovation and preventive wellness. Founded and led by Dr. Minto Purshotam, a visionary bio-scientist and the company’s Chairman and Managing Director, DHCL has spent nearly three decades developing scientifically validated, consumer-ready health products designed to enhance wellbeing and improve quality of life.

A Legacy of Science, Innovation, and Holistic Health

Headquartered in Dwarkapuri, Hyderabad (Telangana), with advanced R&D, innovation, and manufacturing facilities at IIE, SIDCUL, Pantnagar (Uttarakhand), Deccan Health Care Limited stands as a symbol of India’s growing expertise in non-medicinal health care. The company’s operations span across nutraceuticals, herbaceuticals, and cosmeceuticals, focusing on creating ready-to-use, science-based health products that address modern lifestyle challenges and nutrient deficiencies.

At the core of DHCL’s approach is its “farm-to-formulation” model — a fully integrated process that begins with the cultivation and procurement of high-quality herbs and ends with the production of finished, consumer-ready health solutions. This approach ensures complete control over quality, safety, and efficacy at every stage, resulting in products that are both potent and reliable.

What Sets Deccan Health Care Apart

Deccan Health Care was founded during the early years of India’s nutraceutical movement, when awareness about preventive health and natural nutrition was still limited. Today, the company’s portfolio exceeds 1,500 products, each crafted using synergistically active ingredients backed by scientific validation. Every product is designed to address specific health concerns, improve nutrient intake, and enhance overall wellbeing.

Unlike conventional supplement companies, DHCL focuses on nutrient synergy—the idea that nutrients work best when combined in scientifically optimized ratios. This philosophy underpins its formulations, ensuring that every product delivers tangible, measurable health benefits. From concept and R&D to production and packaging, the company emphasizes efficacy, safety, and scientific validation, making it a trusted name among health-conscious consumers.

Key Milestones and Achievements

Over the years, Deccan Health Care Limited has achieved numerous milestones that underscore its commitment to innovation and public health:

Health Canada Grants Authorization for Leqembi® (lecanemab)

Newsvoir Press Release — Mon, 27 Oct 2025 22:30:13 +0530

STOCKHOLM, Oct. 27, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — BioArctic AB’s (publ) (Nasdaq Stockholm: BIOA B) partner Eisai announced today that Health Canada has issued a Notice of Compliance with Conditions (NOC/c) for Leqembi® (lecanemab) for the treatment of adult patients with a clinical diagnosis of mild cognitive impairment or mild dementia due to Alzheimer’s disease (early AD) who are apolipoprotein E ε4 (ApoE ε4¹) non-carriers or heterozygotes and who have confirmed amyloid pathology. LEQEMBI is the first treatment for early AD that targets an underlying cause of the disease, to be authorized in Canada.

Leqembi selectively binds to soluble Aβ aggregates (protofibrilsⁱ), as well as insoluble Aβ aggregates (fibrils) which are a major component of Aβ plaques, thereby reducing both Aβ protofibrils and Aβ plaques in the brain. Leqembi is the first approved treatment shown to reduce the rate of disease progression and to slow cognitive and functional decline in adults with Alzheimer’s disease. Leqembi is approved in 51 countries and regions including Japan, the United States, Europe, China, South Korea, Taiwan, and Saudi Arabia, and applications have been filed in 9 countries.

The approval of Leqembi is based on the large global Phase 3 Clarity AD study. In the Clarity AD study, Leqembi met its primary endpoint and all key secondary endpoints with statistically significant results.²^,³ Leqembi has been issued market authorization in Canada with conditions, pending the results of trials to verify its clinical benefit. Eisai plans to submit clinical assessment data captured from participants in real-world clinical practice.

Alzheimer’s Disease is the most common form of dementia, accounting for 60 to 80% of all cases.⁴ As of January 1, 2025, it is estimated there are more than 771,000 patients with dementia in Canada, which is expected to increase to approximately 1 million in 2030 and over 1.7 million in 2050.⁵ In addition, annual care provided by family and friends for those with dementia is equivalent to 290,000 full-time jobs, which is expected to increase to 690,000 full-time jobs in 2050.⁵

Leqembi is the result of a long-standing collaboration between BioArctic and Eisai, and the antibody was originally developed by BioArctic based on the work of Professor Lars Lannfelt and his discovery of the Arctic mutation in Alzheimer’s disease. Eisai is responsible for the clinical development, applications for market approval and commercialization of Leqembi for Alzheimer’s disease. BioArctic has the right to commercialize Leqembi in the Nordic region together with Eisai and the two companies are preparing for a joint commercialization in the region.

The information was released for public disclosure, through the agency of the contact person below, on October 27, 2025, at 00:35 a.m. CET.

About lecanemab (Leqembi ^® )
Lecanemab is the result of a strategic research alliance between BioArctic and Eisai. It is a humanized immunoglobulin gamma 1 (IgG1) monoclonal antibody directed against aggregated soluble (protofibril) and insoluble forms of amyloid-beta (Aβ).

Lecanemab is approved in the U.S., Japan, EU, China, Great Britain, and several other markets for the treatment of mild cognitive impairment (MCI) due to Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and mild AD dementia. Lecanemab’s approvals in these countries, as well as the EC’s market authorization, were primarily based on Phase 3 data from Eisai’s global Clarity AD clinical trial, a Phase 3 global, placebo-controlled, double-blind, parallel-group, randomized study in 1,795 patients with early AD (MCI or mild dementia due to AD, with confirmed presence of amyloid pathology), in which it met its primary endpoint and all key secondary endpoints with statistically significant results. The treatment group was administered lecanemab 10 mg/kg bi-weekly, with participants allocated in a 1:1 ratio to receive either placebo or lecanemab for 18 months.⁶

Lecanemab is approved in 51 countries including the U.S., Japan, China, and the European Union for the treatment of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) in patients with Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI) or mild dementia stage of disease (collectively referred to as early AD) and is under regulatory review in 9 countries. Following the initial phase with treatment every two weeks for 18 months, intravenous (IV) maintenance dosing with treatment every four weeks is approved in China, the U.S. and others, and applications have been filed in 9 countries and regions. Leqembi Iqlik is approved for subcutaneous injection for maintenance dosing for the treatment of early Alzheimer’s disease in the US. In September 2025, a rolling sBLA application for the subcutaneous initiation dosing with Leqembi Iqlik was also initiated to the U.S. FDA.

Since July 2020, Eisai’s Phase 3 clinical study (AHEAD 3-45) with lecanemab in individuals with preclinical AD, meaning they are clinically normal and have intermediate or elevated levels of amyloid in their brains, is ongoing. The study was fully recruited in October 2024. AHEAD 3-45 is a four-year study conducted as a public-private partnership between Eisai, Biogen and the Alzheimer’s Clinical Trial Consortium that provides the infrastructure for academic clinical trials in AD and related dementias in the U.S, funded by the National Institute on Aging, part of the National Institutes of Health. Since January 2022, the Tau NexGen clinical study for Dominantly Inherited AD (DIAD), that is conducted by Dominantly Inherited Alzheimer Network Trials Unit (DIAN-TU), led by Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis, is ongoing and includes lecanemab as the backbone anti-amyloid therapy.

About the collaboration between BioArctic and Eisai
Since 2005, BioArctic has a long-term collaboration with Eisai regarding the development and commercialization of drugs for the treatment of Alzheimer’s disease. The most important agreements are the Development and Commercialization Agreement for the lecanemab antibody, which was signed 2007, and the Development and Commercialization agreement for the antibody Leqembi back-up for Alzheimer’s disease, which was signed 2015. In 2014, Eisai and Biogen entered into a joint development and commercialization agreement for lecanemab. Eisai is responsible for the clinical development, application for market approval and commercialization of the products for Alzheimer’s disease. BioArctic has the right to commercialize lecanemab in the Nordic region and is currently preparing for commercialization in the Nordics together with Eisai. BioArctic has no development costs for lecanemab in Alzheimer’s disease and is entitled to payments in connection with regulatory approvals, and sales milestones as well as royalties on global sales.

About BioArctic AB

¹ Apolipoprotein E is a protein involved in the metabolism of lipid in humans. It is implicated in AD. People with only one (heterozygous) or no copy (non-carriers) of the ApoE ε4 gene are less likely to experience ARIA than people with two ApoE ε4 copies (homozygous). ARIA is a recognized important side effect with lecanemab that involves swelling and potential bleeding in the brain.

ⁱ Protofibrils are believed to contribute to the brain injury that occurs with AD and are considered to be the most toxic form of Aβ, having a primary role in the cognitive decline associated with this progressive, debilitating condition. Protofibrils cause injury to neurons in the brain, which in turn, can negatively impact cognitive function via multiple mechanisms, not only increasing the development of insoluble Aβ plaques but also increasing direct damage to brain cell membranes and the connections that transmit signals between nerve cells or nerve cells and other cells. It is believed the reduction of protofibrils may prevent the progression of AD by reducing damage to neurons in the brain and cognitive dysfunction.

VARON Supports Respiratory Wellness During Seasonal Change

Newsvoir Press Release — Sat, 25 Oct 2025 18:30:15 +0530

NEW YORK, Oct. 24, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — As cooler temperatures and shifting air quality arrive, many families notice changes in their breathing. Dry air, allergens, and sudden cold snaps can worsen conditions like asthma or COPD, making respiratory health a top priority during the season.

To help address these seasonal challenges, VARON, a leading provider of affordable oxygen solutions, is reinforcing its commitment to respiratory wellness with both education and dependable oxygen therapy products. Through its innovative line of affordable oxygen solutions—including the Serene 5 home oxygen concentrator and the VP-8G portable oxygen concentrator—the company continues to deliver reliable support.

Seasonal Triggers for Respiratory Conditions

While autumn is often celebrated for its beauty, the season introduces environmental factors that can strain the lungs and airways. Dry air dehydrates mucous membranes, allergens such as ragweed pollen and mold spores peak, and sudden temperature drops can constrict airways. Seasonal pollution and indoor heating can also add particulate matter to the air, further stressing sensitive respiratory systems.

For individuals with chronic conditions, these factors often increase the risk of flare-ups, emergency visits, and reduced quality of life.

Practical Strategies for Healthier Breathing in Cold Weather

Respiratory specialists emphasize that simple lifestyle adjustments can make a significant difference during this season:

Maintain proper indoor humidity – Using a humidifier or a home oxygen machine with a humidification feature can help prevent dryness in the airways.
Limit allergen exposure – Keeping windows closed on high-pollen days, washing bedding frequently, and using air purifiers can help reduce indoor triggers.
Stay warm during cold spells – Covering the nose and mouth with a scarf helps warm inhaled air, easing the burden on sensitive lungs.
Monitor daily air quality – Mobile apps and local weather reports provide valuable information to guide outdoor activity.
Prepare oxygen therapy – For patients with chronic lung conditions, consistent access to supplemental oxygen at home or on the go can help prevent complications.

VARON’s Ongoing Commitment to Respiratory Wellness

Recognizing the heightened respiratory risks during fall, VARON, a leading provider of affordable oxygen solutions, reinforces its mission to make breathing easier for individuals and families. The company offers both home and portable oxygen concentrators designed to support users in different situations.

“Autumn is a beautiful season, but it also presents unique respiratory hurdles,” said Alex Morgan, Chief Operating Officer of VARON. “Our goal is to ensure that every customer has access to affordable oxygen solutions—whether they need home oxygen concentrator for continuous support or a portable oxygen concentrator to maintain freedom and mobility.”

Bringing Premium Oxygen Therapy Home with the Serene 5

The VARON Serene 5home oxygen concentrator delivers continuous oxygen therapy for individuals requiring full-time support. With a capacity of up to 5 liters per minute and oxygen concentration of 93 ± 3%, the device provides steady, high-quality oxygen delivery. Features such as a built-in humidification bottle, nebulizer function, quiet operation, and safety monitoring system make it a dependable choice for long-term use.

The unit is engineered for 24/7 operation with low energy consumption, offering peace of mind for both patients and caregivers.

Freedom On the Go: VP-8G Portable Oxygen Concentrator

For users who need oxygen support beyond the walls of their homes, the VARON VP-8G portable oxygen concentrator combines lightweight design with powerful performance. Weighing just 4.37 pounds, the device offers pulse flow settings from 1 to 8 with breath-synchronized delivery. A removable battery, multiple carrying options, and quiet operation allow users to maintain active lifestyles without sacrificing respiratory support.

Its LED display provides real-time updates on oxygen flow, battery life, and alerts, while replaceable filters ensure easy long-term maintenance.

Meeting Diverse Needs with Affordable Oxygen Solutions

During seasonal transitions—when allergies, dry air, and sudden cold snaps can challenge respiratory health—having reliable oxygen devices can help reduce health risks and hospital visits. By combining advanced features with energy efficiency and durability, these models ensure users receive high-quality oxygen therapy without incurring excessive operating costs.

VARON is dedicated to delivering affordable oxygen solutions across its product range. Whether a customer seeks a home oxygen concentrator like the Serene 5 for full-time therapy or a portable oxygen concentrator such as the VP-8G for mobility, VARON aims to keep pricing accessible without compromising quality.

All VARON devices undergo rigorous testing to meet safety and performance standards. The company continuously refines molecular sieve technology, compression systems, and noise reduction while incorporating user feedback into product updates.

“Reliable oxygen therapy is not just about machines—it’s about improving everyday life,” Alex added. “That’s why we combine education, responsive support, and dependable devices to make breathing easier for our customers in every season.”

About VARON

VARON is a trusted oxygen concentrator supplier specializing in affordable oxygen solutions. Its product line includes advanced home oxygen concentrators and portable oxygen concentrators designed for patients, caregivers, elderly users, and anyone seeking respiratory wellness. With a commitment to innovation, safety, accessibility, and customer care, VARON empowers users to live healthier, more independent lives.

IVF Treatment in India: How Much Does it Cost

Desk News — Sat, 25 Oct 2025 18:13:10 +0530

New Delhi [India], October 25: India has become a sought-after destination for affordable and effective fertility treatments, including in-vitro fertilization (IVF). Prospective parents from around the globe are drawn to the country due to its advanced medical infrastructure, experienced fertility specialists, and competitive pricing. If you’re looking for an IVF center in India, understanding the costs, success rates, and available options can help you make an informed decision tailored to your needs.

Understanding IVF and How It Works

IVF, or in-vitro fertilization, is a form of assisted reproductive technology (ART) where an egg and sperm are combined outside the body in a laboratory setting. Once fertilization occurs, the resulting embryo is transferred to the uterus with the goal of achieving a successful pregnancy. This procedure is often recommended for couples experiencing infertility issues, including ovulation disorders, fallopian tube damage, low sperm count, or unexplained infertility.

The IVF process typically involves several stages, including ovarian stimulation, egg retrieval, fertilization, embryo transfer, and the follow-up phase to confirm pregnancy. While the treatment process is consistent worldwide, the associated costs often vary, due to factors such as location, hospital infrastructure, and the expertise of medical professionals.

IVF Costs in India

One of the significant advantages of opting for IVF treatment in India is its affordability when compared to other countries. The cost of IVF in India typically ranges between ₹1,00,000 and ₹2,50,000 per cycle ($1,200 to $3,000 approximately). However, this price range can vary depending on a variety of factors, such as the city, the clinic’s reputation, and any additional procedures or medications required.

For couples seeking treatment, it is essential to review the breakdown of IVF expenses. The total cost usually includes consultation fees, diagnostic tests, medications for ovarian stimulation, the retrieval process, fertilization, and embryo implantation. Some clinics may also provide comprehensive packages to cover these aspects, ensuring transparency in pricing.

IVF Cost in Major Indian Cities

The cost of IVF treatment can fluctuate based on the location, as metropolitan cities usually have more advanced facilities but also higher expenses. Here’s an overview of IVF costs in some Indian cities:

Mumbai: ₹1,50,000 – ₹3,50,000
Delhi: ₹1,20,000 – ₹3,00,000
Bangalore: ₹1,00,000 – ₹2,50,000
Chennai: ₹1,20,000 – ₹2,80,000
Hyderabad: ₹1,00,000 – ₹2,40,000
Kolkata: ₹90,000 – ₹2,30,000
Jaipur : ₹80,000 – ₹1,50,000

These variations are influenced by the clinic’s facilities, the expertise of fertility specialists, and available technology. Evaluating the success rates of a clinic and consulting other patients’ experiences can help streamline your decision when selecting the best IVF center in any Indian city.

Factors Influencing IVF Costs

The affordability of IVF treatment does not mean compromising on quality, but patients should be aware of the factors influencing costs. These include:

Type of Procedure: Some patients may need additional advanced procedures, such as Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI) or Preimplantation Genetic Testing (PGT), which can increase the overall expense.
Medications: Hormonal drugs for ovarian stimulation vary in pricing based on brand and dosage required, contributing to treatment costs.
Number of Cycles: Success may not always happen in the first cycle, and multiple cycles might be necessary, adding to the total cost.
Clinic Reputation and Expertise: Clinics with highly experienced doctors and state-of-the-art facilities may charge premium prices for their services.
Technology and Resources: Access to advanced equipment and embryology labs improves treatment precision and success rates, often influencing costs.

Affordable IVF Options in India

India offers numerous IVF centers that succeed in combining affordability with cutting-edge technology. Clinics often present patients with tailored packages to meet specific medical and financial requirements. For those who need financial assistance, some clinics also collaborate with banks or financial institutions to provide easy installment options, making treatment more accessible.

Patients looking for affordable IVF treatment in India should research and compare options to find a center that aligns with their expectations for care and budget. Some renowned clinics include attempts to minimize financial strain while maintaining personalized care and high success rates.

IVF Success Rates in India

The success rate of IVF treatment in India ranges between 40% and 60%, depending on various factors such as the patient’s age, the quality of eggs and sperm, and the expertise of the fertility team. Younger patients, typically below the age of 35, often experience higher chances of success due to better egg and sperm viability. Clinics equipped with the latest technology and skilled specialists can further improve your chances of a positive outcome.

It’s vital to remember that success rates also depend on individual circumstances, and discussing these variables with a specialist will provide clarity before proceeding with treatment.

Choosing the Best IVF Center in India

Finding the right IVF center is pivotal for a successful treatment experience. While costs are an important factor, evaluating the clinic’s quality of care, patient reviews, and success stories should also guide your decision.

Key Considerations:

Check the credentials and experience of the fertility specialists.
Investigate the clinic’s infrastructure and technological advancements.
Compare pricing transparency and additional service options offered.
Look at patient testimonials and success rate data specific to the clinic.

Final Thoughts

Looking for the best IVF center in Jaipur provides a beacon of hope for countless couples and individuals facing infertility challenges. With competitive costs, world-class technology, and a compassionate medical approach, patients can access top-notch care tailored to their financial and emotional needs. By understanding the factors affecting treatment prices and carefully choosing a reliable clinic, you can take a confident step forward in your fertility journey.

Whether you’re planning treatment in a bustling metropolitan hub or a quieter city, the available options for IVF treatment in India reflect a combination of affordability and quality that continues to attract patients globally.

Aastrika Midwifery Centre Opens at Trustwell Hospitals, Inaugurated by Hon’ble Minister for Health & Family Welfare Department

Desk News — Fri, 24 Oct 2025 18:00:09 +0530

Bangalore (Karnataka) [India], October 24: Aastrika Midwifery Centre (AMC), one of Bengaluru’s most reputed maternity hospitals, founded by Dr Janhavi Nilekani, today expanded its services to a new 8,000 sq. ft. facility in the heart of Bengaluru. Inaugurated by Shri Dinesh Gundu Rao, Hon’ble Minister for Health & Family Welfare Department, the new centre has been launched in collaboration with Trustwell Hospitals, JC Road. This cutting-edge birth centre offers boutique maternity care, comprehensive women’s health services, neonatology, and paediatrics.

In the four years since launch, Aastrika Midwifery Centre has set new benchmarks in safe, ethical, evidence-based clinical practice. The hospital has supported over 700 births, including 100+ water births, with a 73% normal delivery rate. Their c-section rate of just 27% is significantly lower than the 65%-85% prevalent in metro city private hospitals. This is achieved by strictly adhering to clinical protocols and supporting women through one-to-one midwifery care and an array of pain relief methods.

Aastrika’s pioneering services address the growing demand for high-quality, mother-centric birthing experiences in the city. The interdisciplinary team, composed of obstetricians, professional midwives, paediatricians, and nurses, provides personalised care to each mother, with a strong focus on shared decision-making and informed consent. AMC is equipped with state-of-the-art sensory birthing suites, luxury rooms, a neonatal intensive care unit (NICU), and access to round-the-clock operating theatres and ICUs.

Speaking about AMC’s success, Dr Neena Malhotra, Professor and HoD, OBGYN, AIIMS Delhi, remarked, “Over the last few years, I have watched Aastrika’s growth, visited their centre, and seen Janhavi present their statistics and clinical protocols. Janhavi and the Aastrika team are deeply committed to evidence-based medicine and healthcare quality improvement. This has enabled c-section rates under 30%, which is remarkable for a private hospital. Aastrika has also set up a beautiful space, in which they provide midwifery, extensive labour support, and pain relief, to fulfil their vision of mother-centric care. I am delighted that they are moving to a larger and central facility!”

In Aastrika’s care approach, normal deliveries are prioritised, while ensuring that full emergency support is always available. The hospital specialises in high-risk pregnancies and in Vaginal Births After Caesareans (VBACs).

Dr H V Madhusudan, Chairman, Trustwell Hospitals, said, “We are excited to welcome Aastrika Midwifery Centre to provide women’s health and pediatric services at Trustwell Hospitals. Aastrika’s specialised birthing services, paired with Trustwell’s world-class infrastructure and emergency facilities, provide an ideal model of care for childbirth. With this partnership, we mark a powerful step forward in our commitment to serve the community at large.”

Speaking about AMC opening in Trustwell Hospitals, Dr Janhavi Nilekani, PhD, Founder and Chairperson, emphasised, “At AMC, our vision is to create transformative birth experiences that mothers remember with pride, joy, and fulfilment. Evidence-based protocols, informed consent, and shared decision-making are the backbone of our clinical care. In Trustwell Hospitals, we have found a perfect partner who shares our commitment to clinical excellence.”

During the inauguration, Shri Dinesh Gundu Rao, Hon’ble Minister for Health & Family Welfare Department, emphasised the importance of promoting normal birthing and respectful maternity care for the well-being of mothers and newborns. He noted that nearly 60% of deliveries in urban private hospitals are cesarean sections and stressed the need to reduce this by raising awareness and training healthcare professionals. He commended Aastrika’s efforts in both the public and private sectors to bridge this gap through evidence-based, woman-centric care and expressed hope that the initiative would inspire more hospitals across Karnataka to make safe and normal birth the standard.

With this expansion, Aastrika Midwifery Centre and Trustwell Hospitals bring a proven, evidence-based model of maternity care to the city’s centre. The partnership demonstrates how clinical rigour and patient-centred design can flourish in private healthcare — setting a new benchmark for high-quality obstetric services in India’s growing urban health ecosystem. By combining international best practices with a deep understanding of women’s needs, Aastrika and Trustwell together are redefining excellence in birthing.

FDA Grants Fast Track Designation for AJ201, a First-in-Class Therapy for Kenndy’s Disease

Newsvoir Press Release — Thu, 23 Oct 2025 14:00:10 +0530

TAIPEI, Oct. 22, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — AnnJi Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. (AnnJi, TWSE: 7754) today announced that the U.S. Food & Drug Administration (FDA) has granted Fast Track Designation for AJ201, the first-in-class for therapy for spinal and bulbar muscular atrophy (SBMA, also known as Kennedy’s disease).

“Receiving the Fast Track Designation for AJ201 marks a significant milestone for AnnJi,” said Dr. Wendy Huang, CEO and Chairperson of the Board of AnnJi. “Alongside the Orphan Drug Designations granted by both the U.S. FDA and EMA, this recognition reinforces AJ201’s potential to address the unmet needs of patients with SBMA. Backed by a strong global patent portfolio, we remain committed to advancing AJ201 into Phase 3 development and to working closely with the FDA to potentially deliver the first approved treatment for SBMA in more than two decades.”

About SBMA and AJ201

SBMA, or Kennedy’s disease, is a rare X-linked inherited neuromuscular disorder caused by CAG repeat expansion in the androgen receptor (AR) gene. The resulting mutant AR protein contributes to muscle and neuron degeneration through mechanisms involving cellular toxicity, oxidative stress, and neuroinflammation. SBMA affects ~1 in 40,000 males globally and currently has no FDA-approved treatment.

AJ201, also known as JM17, is a novel investigational compound that has shown potential in reducing mutant AR toxicity and improving motor function in preclinical SBMA models. At the molecular level, it promotes degradation of pathogenic mAR protein, induces expression of antioxidant enzymes, proteasome subunits, and heat shock proteins, all of which may slow disease progression (Bott et al., 2016).

About AnnJi Pharmaceutical

AnnJi Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. (TWSE: 7754) is a clinical-stage drug development company focused on the development of innovative small molecules (NCEs). The company is dedicated to addressing high unmet medical needs in the fields of neurology, dermatology, and immune-inflammatory diseases, including rare diseases, such as Kennedy’s disease (SBMA) and Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF).

AnnJi is committed to develop innovative therapies that improve the quality of life for patients suffering from neglected chronic diseases. We focus on advancing high-quality, differentiated, and innovative drug candidates, and collaborating with global pharmaceutical partners. Upon achieving proof-of-concept in phase II clinical trials, we aim to out-license our products for further co-development and commercialization, with the goal of bringing them to global markets and driving sustainable growth for the company.

Another Light Counselling Spreads Warmth This Diwali with Free Sessions for Those Facing Loneliness

Desk News — Sat, 18 Oct 2025 19:00:36 +0530

Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], October 17: As homes across India glow with lamps symbolising prosperity and joy, Another Light Counselling is turning its focus toward lighting something even more meaningful — the human heart. In a unique Diwali initiative, the mental health organisation is offering six free 30-minute counselling sessions to anyone struggling with loneliness, grief, or emotional overwhelm during the festive season.

For many, Diwali brings happiness, laughter, and connection. But for others, it can amplify feelings of isolation, pressure, or loss. Recognising this emotional contrast, Another Light Counselling’s founder, Aanchal Narang, decided to create a safe and compassionate space for those who may find this time of year especially difficult.

“Every Diwali, we light lamps for prosperity and joy — but what about the hearts that feel dim?” said Aanchal Narang, Founder and Counsellor at Another Light Counselling. “Festivals often highlight what’s missing. This year, I wanted to do something different — to keep alive a small tradition of real conversations.”

The “Light Within” initiative reflects the organisation’s mission to normalise emotional honesty and provide accessible mental health support. Through these complimentary sessions, Another Light Counselling hopes to remind people that healing begins with connection — and that no one should have to navigate emotional pain alone.

The free 30-minute sessions will offer individuals a chance to talk openly about their feelings, decompress from holiday pressures, and rediscover their sense of inner calm. Participants can expect a warm, non-judgmental environment, where the focus is not just on problem-solving, but on genuine human connection.

“We often associate Diwali with external brightness — decorations, gatherings, celebrations,”. “But sometimes, the brightest light is the one we find together, in moments of listening and understanding.”

This initiative also shines a light on a growing awareness of mental health in India, particularly during culturally significant periods. By weaving empathy and mental wellness into the fabric of a major festival, Another Light Counselling is encouraging a cultural shift — one that celebrates emotional truth alongside tradition.

Key Details of the Initiative:

What: Six free 30-minute counselling sessions offered by Another Light Counselling
Who: Open to anyone experiencing loneliness, stress, grief, or emotional exhaustion this festive season
When: October 20th, 2025
How to Register: Message @another_light_counselling on Instagram to book a session
Where: Sessions will be conducted online or in-person (as applicable)

About Another Light Counselling

Based in Mumbai, Another Light Counselling is a wellness and mental health practice dedicated to fostering compassion, awareness, and authentic human connection. Through individual sessions, workshops, and community initiatives, the organization continues to create safe spaces for emotional healing and personal growth.

This Diwali, Another Light Counselling invites everyone to pause and tend to their inner flame — to remember that light is not only something we create outside, but something we nurture within.

How KRIGAT Is Transforming Physiotherapy and Human Performance with AI

Desk News — Sat, 18 Oct 2025 19:00:25 +0530

New Delhi [India], October 18: In an era where intelligent systems are reshaping everything from how we shop to how we heal, KRIGAT steps in as a game-changing innovation at the intersection of health, AI, and human potential. Developed by AltrixLabs, a cross-continental collaboration between British and Indian innovators, KRIGAT is not just another health tech product. It’s an entirely new approach to understanding, supporting, and optimising the way we move.

From Vision to Reality – The AltrixLabs Story

AltrixLabs was born from a unique blend of athletic grit, business intelligence, and deep tech expertise. In the UK, Parantha Narendran, a veteran in telecom and tech strategy, and Allyn Condon, a decorated Olympian and advocate for sports science, had already made their mark as co-founders of the renowned Luxe Fitness gym chain. In India, Aditya Chhabra—a technologist and entrepreneur with a distinguished background in biomechanics, health tech, and published research on human body repositioning and personalization, alongside Priyanshi Tater, a human-centred design expert, had built CreateBytes, a pioneering AI-first design and engineering studio.

Drawn together by a shared vision to make elite performance and rehabilitation tools accessible to everyone, the four founders merged their worlds—combining cutting-edge AI systems, sports science expertise, and proven business leadership—to create a platform that’s redefining human performance and health innovation.

Introducing KRIGAT – An AI That Moves With You

KRIGAT, derived from the Sanskrit words Kriya (action) and Gati (motion), is more than a product. It’s a powerful AI platform that reads human motion through any standard camera, offering real-time feedback and actionable insights with no wearables, sensors, or friction.

Fully browser-based and device-agnostic, KRIGAT turns a laptop or smartphone into a digital physio or performance coach. It’s movement intelligence at your fingertips, accessible, scalable, and precise.

Two Core Modules:

KRIGAT Physio uses computer vision to analyse joint movement, posture, and alignment during physiotherapy routines. It offers clinically validated programs, tracks recovery progress, and provides real-time corrections via voice or text, making rehab truly interactive.

KRIGAT PowerSports is tailored for athletes and coaches. It tracks performance metrics like power output, jump height, bar path, and limb symmetry giving elite-level feedback during workouts without the need for expensive hardware.

Why It Matters – The Big Picture

What sets KRIGAT apart is its deep commitment to access and impact. India, despite its fitness boom, faces a chronic shortage of qualified physiotherapists and movement specialists especially outside tier-one cities. KRIGAT bridges this gap by putting world-class diagnostics and guidance within reach, whether you’re in a metro clinic or a rural home.

It’s already gaining traction in several sectors:

Gyms and Fitness Chains are using it to screen for injury risks and improve member outcomes.
Clinics and Hospitals are digitising their physiotherapy practices, enabling remote monitoring.
Sports Academies are giving young athletes tools previously reserved for elite professionals.
Corporates are embedding it in wellness programmes to reduce workplace injuries.
Seniors and Recovering Patients are benefiting from structured, at-home rehabilitation support.

And because KRIGAT requires no app installation or hardware, it scales effortlessly from a single physiotherapist’s practice to national healthcare deployments.

Built for Scale, Designed for People

KRIGAT is a masterclass in human-centred AI. It leverages cutting-edge computer vision while maintaining an intuitive and inclusive experience. Whether you’re a first-time gym-goer or an Olympic coach, the interface is simple, the insights clear, and the outcomes measurable.

And it’s only just beginning.

The team at AltrixLabs is already building out the next phase of the product:

Native mobile apps for more seamless usage
Augmented reality overlays for deeper training support
Multilingual voice assistants to expand reach across India
Wearable integrations to capture richer biometric data

“KRIGAT is our answer to making world-class movement health accessible for everyone, whether you’re a professional athlete or someone just beginning your fitness journey,” shares Priyanshi Tater.

“After years competing at the highest level, I know firsthand the power of real-time feedback. With KRIGAT, that technology is finally in everyone’s hands,” says Aditya Chhabra.

Priyanshi added, “We’re not just building a product; we’re creating a movement, a future where everyone moves better, recovers faster, and lives stronger.”

In conclusion, KRIGAT marks a turning point in how we think about recovery, performance, and well-being. It turns motion into intelligence and feedback into empowerment. For a world that’s increasingly sedentary and injury-prone, it offers a proactive, data-driven path to better movement health.

With its launch, AltrixLabs is making a bold statement: that intelligent healthcare isn’t a luxury, it’s a necessity, and it should be as accessible as it is advanced.

From Africa to Ahmedabad: 14-year-old girl stands tall again after robotic spine surgery at Stavya Spine Hospital

Desk News — Thu, 16 Oct 2025 21:00:25 +0530

Ahmedabad (Gujarat) [India], October 16: Fourteen-year-old Ayesha* (name changed) had spent much of her young life battling scoliosis — a condition that caused her spine to twist and curve abnormally, leaving her in pain and robbing her of confidence. Her parents, unwilling to let their daughter’s dreams bend along with her spine, travelled all the way from Africa to Ahmedabad, seeking hope at Stavya Spine Hospital.

Their hope wasn’t misplaced. Under the care of spine specialists at Stavya Spine Hospital, Ayesha underwent robotic-assisted minimally invasive spine surgery, one of the most advanced procedures available in India. The robotic guidance system enabled surgeons to achieve exceptional precision in placement of screws — something that traditional surgery could not guarantee.

“When we operate on paediatric patients like Ayesha, we don’t just straighten the spine — we straighten the course of a life,” said Dr. Mirant Dave, reflecting on the young girl’s transformation.

Unlike conventional surgeries, this robotic procedure involved smaller incisions, minimal blood loss, faster recovery, and negligible scarring — all crucial factors for a young patient. Within days, Ayesha’s posture improved dramatically. Her breathing became easier, and she was able to walk without discomfort for the first time in years.

Her parents, visibly moved, called Stavya “a place where technology and humanity meet.” For Ayesha’s family, affordability was another deciding factor. The advanced treatment they received in India cost a fraction of what it would have in the West — without any compromise on quality or technology.

Today, Ayesha stands tall and confident, preparing to return to school and to a life that once felt out of reach. Her case adds to Stavya Spine Hospital’s growing reputation as a global hub for advanced spine care and medical tourism, putting India at the forefront.

With robotic platforms such as Mesor X, open standing spine MRI facilities, and a team of globally trained surgeons, Stavya Spine Hospital is fast becoming a beacon of innovation in spinal healthcare.

Ayesha’s journey — from Africa to Ahmedabad — is not just about a surgery well done. It’s a story of courage, compassion, and cutting-edge science coming together to give a child her life back.

Stop Suffering in Silence: Kochi Residents Find Advanced Laser Solutions for Fistula and Pilonidal Sinus

Desk News — Thu, 16 Oct 2025 14:30:25 +0530

Kochi (Kerala) [India], October 15: Living in Kochi with recurring issues like a Pilonidal Sinus or Anal Fistula isn’t just uncomfortable—it’s exhausting. Between endless dressings and delayed healing, patients deserve more than band-aid solutions. Enter Dr. Raviram S, a name that’s rewriting how these stubborn conditions are treated across Kerala.

When Experience Meets Precision

In the world of proctology, skill and technology are everything. And Dr. Raviram S of Thrissur Piles Clinic has both in spades.
With over 15 years of surgical expertise, he’s a trusted name for patients across Kochi, Thrissur, and central Kerala seeking relief from Anal Fistula, Pilonidal Sinus, Piles, and Fissures.

Many from Kochi now make the short drive to his clinic — because sometimes the right doctor isn’t just local, he’s worth the trip.

His edge? Precision laser treatments that are muscle-saving, minimally invasive, and built for fast recovery. No exaggerated promises, just science-driven outcomes.

Understanding the Enemy: What Pilonidal Sinus Really Is

Let’s call it what it is — a painful nuisance.
A Pilonidal Sinus is a small, infected tunnel near the tailbone that collects hair, debris, and bacteria. The result? Swelling, pus, and repeated infections that make even sitting a task.

Traditional open surgery often leaves a deep wound that can take months to heal, complete with painful dressings and risk of recurrence. That’s why the modern patient looks for a Pilonidal Sinus Doctor in Kochi who can offer a better solution — one that respects both your time and your sanity.

Laser Precision: The Game-Changer

Here’s where Dr. Raviram’s approach shines.
Instead of the traditional “cut and wait” method, his Laser Pilonidal Sinus Treatment uses focused laser energy to remove the infected tissue from within, leaving only a tiny wound behind.

The advantages?

Less Pain: The laser minimizes trauma to surrounding tissue.
Faster Healing: Recovery happens in days, not months.
Smaller Wound: Minimal scarring, minimal dressing.
Back to Routine: Most patients return to normal life quickly — no prolonged downtime.

For complex or recurring cases, he also performs Flap Surgery, a reconstructive technique that ensures the sinus doesn’t return. It’s the kind of precision work that requires both steady hands and deep expertise — something Dr. Raviram has mastered over hundreds of successful cases.

Anal Fistula: The Other Silent Trouble

The Anal Fistula is another nightmare that doesn’t go away easily. It’s an infected tunnel that connects the anal canal to the skin. The pain is sharp, the discharge is embarrassing, and recurrence is common when treated incorrectly.

While traditional surgery risks damage to the sphincter muscle (the one that keeps you continent), Dr. Raviram’s muscle-saving methods change the game.

His techniques include:

FiLaC (Fistula Laser Closure): Seals the fistula tract from inside using laser light — precise, clean, and with minimal bleeding.
LIFT Procedure: A muscle-sparing option that closes the fistula tract safely.
Fistulotomy & Fistulectomy: For simpler cases, he still applies tried-and-true surgical principles with modern upgrades.

The goal? Total healing with zero compromise on muscle function.

Not Just Fistula and Sinus — Complete Colorectal Expertise

Dr. Raviram’s clinic isn’t limited to just one or two conditions.
He’s also a well-known Piles Specialist and Fissure Expert in Kochi’s extended region. His Laser Treatment for Piles offers quick, nearly painless relief and short recovery times, while his Laser Fissure and LIS procedures help patients bid farewell to chronic pain for good.

This isn’t a one-size-fits-all clinic — it’s a precision center where each procedure is customized to the patient’s condition.

Why Patients from Kochi Travel to Thrissur

Kochi residents are tech-savvy, health-aware, and value their time. So why are so many heading to Thrissur Piles Clinic? Simple: results.

Laser technology, faster discharge, insurance support, and the assurance of being treated by someone who knows his craft down to the nerve — that’s a combination worth a few kilometres of travel.

In Dr. Raviram’s own words, “My patients don’t just heal. They recover right — without losing muscle, confidence, or time.”

It’s the kind of philosophy that blends medical innovation with human empathy — something rare and valuable in today’s healthcare rush.

Insurance, Accessibility, and Peace of Mind

Healthcare shouldn’t drain you — physically or financially.
That’s why the Thrissur Piles Clinic accepts major insurance plans, making modern treatment accessible to everyone.

Appointments are easy to book, consultations are straightforward, and post-surgery support is consistent. The focus is always on comfort, recovery, and confidence.

The Bottom Line

If you’re living with the discomfort of Pilonidal Sinus, Anal Fistula, or Piles, stop settling for outdated treatments.
The modern approach is faster, cleaner, and backed by results.

With over 15 years of surgical mastery, Dr Raviram S stands out as one of the best Pilonidal Sinus Doctors in Kochi’s region — combining cutting-edge laser precision with patient-first ethics.

When science meets skill, healing becomes inevitable.

With robotic technology, cuts are smaller, precision is higher, and recovery is much faster than before.”

Echoing similar sentiments, Dr. Rahul Gupta, Neurosurgeon at Fortis Hospital, Noida and Escorts Okhla, emphasized how technology has revolutionized spine surgery:
“With advancements like 3D imaging and robotic surgery, spine surgery has become far safer and more precise than it was 20–25 years ago. These technologies ensure accurate screw and rod placement, enhance safety, and reduce complications. Minimally invasive techniques now allow faster recovery and help patients walk sooner after surgery.”

The experts agreed that advancements like robotics, advanced navigation systems have significantly improved the precision and safety of spine surgeries. Patients benefit from smaller incisions, less post-operative pain, shorter hospital stays, and a quicker return to normal life.

The panel also stressed the importance of personalized treatment planning and patient education, ensuring that each surgical approach is tailored to the individual’s unique spinal condition. While technology continues to enhance outcomes, the surgeons highlighted that not all patients are candidates for these advanced techniques—reinforcing the need for comprehensive evaluation before surgery.

The initiative successfully raised awareness about spinal health, early diagnosis, and modern treatment options. Through anonymized patient stories, surgeons demonstrated the positive impact of robotic and minimally invasive spine surgeries on patients’ quality of life.

This effort is part of a larger mission to promote spine health and empower patients with knowledge about the latest developments in spinal care.

Open-Source AI Tool by Yandex Detects Signs of Infant Cerebral Palsy With Over 90% Accuracy

Desk News — Thu, 16 Oct 2025 14:30:09 +0530

Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], October 16: Yandex B2B Tech, together with the Yandex School of Data Analysis and St. Petersburg State Pediatric Medical University, has developed the world’s first AI solution for assessing brain development in infants under 12 months of age. The neural network automates MRI analysis, cutting processing time from several days to just minutes.

The proposed solution analyzes MRI scans and can distinguish between gray and white brain matter with over 90% accuracy. Cutting evaluation time from days to minutes, it enables earlier detection and more effective rehabilitation planning for infants with cerebral palsy and other central nervous system disorders.

Designed as a decision-support tool for suspected cerebral palsy and other central nervous system disorders, it helps physicians determine effective rehabilitation strategies.

It is freely available on GitHub and can be used by Indian healthcare and clinical research institutions.

The Global Challenge of Cerebral Palsy

Cerebral palsy is among the leading causes of childhood disability in India. It affects an estimated 2–3 out of every 1000 live births, aligning with global estimates.

Early diagnosis is critical for improving outcomes and ensuring effective rehabilitation. Yet detecting cerebral palsy within the first 12 months of life remains one of the most difficult tasks in modern medicine. An infant’s brain develops at a remarkable speed, and traditional MRI scans are difficult to interpret due to the low contrast between gray and white matter — the tissues that form the cerebral cortex and support higher brain functions.

An MRI testing procedure typically takes 20–40 minutes, but interpreting the images and preparing a report can take an experienced radiologist anywhere from several hours to several days. For longitudinal monitoring, workload and turnaround times increase substantially as clinicians may need to review large volumes of follow-up scans.

Solving the Challenge with a Neural Network

Researchers have explored artificial intelligence to address this challenge before, often through machine learning competitions. One notable example is the 2019 MICCAI Grand Challenge, which invited participants to segment MRI scans of infant brains up to six months old using the iSeg-2019 dataset.

The competition drew developers from around the world but also revealed a major obstacle: a lack of annotated data. In particular, segmentation masks — outlines of gray and white matter that are essential for training AI models for clinical use — were scarce. The iSeg-2019 dataset included only 15 annotated images, while the university’s archive contained MRI scans from 1500 patients without any annotations.

To bridge this gap, Yandex researchers collaborated with medical experts to create new annotations, design a dedicated neural network architecture, and run a series of machine learning experiments. The resulting model achieved over 90% accuracy in distinguishing gray and white matter in infant brains on internal evaluation data, demonstrating its potential for clinical use.

“Our goal is to make the most advanced Yandex technologies accessible to doctors, helping them deliver accurate and timely diagnoses, select optimal treatments, and develop new medicines,” said Anna Lemyakina, Head of the Yandex Cloud Center for Technologies and Society. “Although many commercial radiology solutions exist, none had previously addressed the task of analyzing MRI scans of newborns. The main challenge of this project was the limited dataset. Through close collaboration with medical specialists, we created a tool that enables radiologists to examine more patients in the same amount of time and quickly recommend therapy where it is most needed.”

Practical Benefits and Advantages

Because the code is open-source and free to use, the solution can be adopted by Indian medical institutions, helping advance the global practice of early cerebral palsy diagnosis. Integrating this tool into clinical workflows can:

Improve accuracy and objectivity. With over 90% accuracy, the model highlights outlines and quantifies the ratio of gray to white matter in an infant’s brain.
Accelerate diagnosis. MRI analysis is reduced from days to minutes, which is critical for timely therapy and especially valuable in longitudinal monitoring, where hundreds or thousands of scans may need review.
Increase clinical throughput. Automating routine scan segmentation allows radiologists to focus on complex cases and direct patient care.

The tool can also act as an assistant, supporting less-experienced specialists in interpreting infant brain scans, which are often difficult to analyze.

Availability

The neural network code is available on GitHub and can be integrated into existing medical IT systems.

Exemption of GST on Individual Life & Health Insurance: Impact on New vs. Existing Policies

Desk News — Tue, 14 Oct 2025 17:00:25 +0530

New Delhi [India], October 8: The Central Government’s announcement exempting GST on insurance premiums from September 22, 2025, has sparked widespread interest. For many, this reform is expected to make both individual life and health insurance more affordable by lowering premium costs. But how this change plays out — especially for new policy buyers versus existing policyholders — depends on a few key factors.

Let’s explore how this development could impact different policyholders, what you should expect, and why the savings may vary.

How the GST Reform Changes Premium Dynamics

Up to September 21, 2025, insurance premiums attracted 18% GST, which was added directly to what policyholders pay. From September 22, 2025, GST has been exempted on individual life and health insurance, making premiums appear lighter.

For someone paying ₹10,000 as the base premium, this earlier meant ₹11,800 with GST. Post-reform, the total payable amount is expected to drop closer to the base premium, creating relief for customers.

This shift could play out differently for new buyers and existing policyholders, shaping the way premiums are calculated going forward.

Impact on New Policies

For new customers entering the insurance market after September 22, 2025, premiums are expected to look simpler and more competitive. Without GST inflating the cost, policies would appear more attractive at the entry stage.

Lower upfront cost – New buyers see a direct reduction compared to earlier quotes.
Simplified pricing – No need to calculate GST on premiums, making it easier to compare products.
Boost in adoption – Lower costs may encourage more households to take their first step into insurance.

Impact on Existing Policies

For existing policyholders, the effect will depend on whether they are paying regular premiums or have already paid a single premium upfront.

Regular premium policies – Future instalments post September 22, 2025, are to be billed without GST, meaning reduced outflow from upcoming due dates.
Single premium policies – If premiums were already paid upfront with GST, these may not benefit from retrospective changes, as past GST can’t be refunded.
Renewals – Policies renewing after September 22, 2025, may enjoy lower payable amounts, offering relief for long-term holders.

This means ongoing policies will still gain, though the degree of benefit depends on the premium payment mode.

Why Savings May Differ and What Really Decides the Reduction

While this reform is encouraging, it’s important to note that the actual premium cut may not match the full 18% GST component. The reason lies in how insurers currently manage taxes.

Until now, with 18% GST on insurance premiums, insurers were able to claim Input Tax Credit (ITC) paid on expenses such as distribution, administration, and services. This effectively reduced their overall tax liability, meaning the full 18% GST incurred on the expenses was not passed on to customers.

Now, since individual life and health insurance have been exempted under GST, ITC can no longer be claimed by the insurance companies on the expenses incurred to provide such services. Accordingly, the overall reduction may not equal the full 18% GST component.

So, while premiums are certain to come down, the exact savings you see will depend on how your insurer adjusts post-reform.

What This Means for Policyholders

For both new and existing customers, exemption of GST on individual health and life insurance is a positive change. It means lower recurring costs, simpler premium structures, and potentially wider adoption of insurance as a tool for financial security.

Final Word

The exemption of GST from September 22, 2025, marks a significant shift for insurance buyers. Whether you’re considering a new policy or already hold one, this change should translate into reduced outflows and greater affordability.

While the exact benefit may vary due to ineligibility of ITC on expenses incurred, one thing is clear — insurance is set to become more cost-effective, making financial protection more accessible to households across India.

Dr. Venkata Kotam Raju Poranki’s AI System Delivers Retinal Screening to the Last Mile

Desk News — Tue, 14 Oct 2025 17:00:18 +0530

New Delhi [India], October 14: In a groundbreaking advancement poised to reshape diabetic eye care, Dr. Venkata Kotam Raju Poranki (PVK), Ph.D., has unveiled a suite of AI-powered frameworks designed to transform the diagnosis and management of diabetic retinopathy (DR)— a condition threatening the vision of millions worldwide.

With over 460 million people living with diabetes, early detection of DR remains a critical challenge, especially in remote or under-resourced areas. Traditional screening methods rely heavily on manual analysis by ophthalmologists — a time-consuming, expensive process often unavailable to rural populations.

That’s the problem Dr. Poranki set out to solve during his Ph.D. research at Koneru Lakshmaiah Education Foundation. The result? A pioneering AI architecture capable of delivering precision, speed, privacy, and accessibility in DR screening, offering a vision of healthcare that’s equitable and efficient.

The AI Framework That Sees More Than Eyes

The research introduces four innovative frameworks that work in tandem to detect and grade DR from retinal images:

●DRG-Net: Combines graph-based feature extraction with XGBoost to enhance classification accuracy, even in unbalanced datasets.

●CEFNet: Utilizes Iterative Random Forests and advanced balancing techniques to improve feature representation and model generalization.

●SDRG-Net: Adds a layer of privacy and precision with Multi-Level Color Transformation (MLCT) encryption and a disease-specific graph correlation network.

●ICNN-IRDO: Merges deep learning with optimization algorithms to achieve robust diagnostic performance across diverse datasets.

Together, these models address longstanding limitations in medical AI — including poor performance in edge cases, lack of generalization, and data privacy concerns in Internet of Medical Things (IoMT) environments.

Proven Accuracy, Unmatched Sensitivity

In trials using the EyePACS and Messidor datasets — two industry benchmarks — Dr. Poranki’s AI models delivered 99.7% accuracy, and 100% sensitivity and specificity across multiple stages of diabetic retinopathy. This level of performance positions the system as one of the most reliable automated DR grading tools to date.

Each model has been rigorously peer-reviewed and published in leading journals including Elsevier, Informatica, and IEEE, with supporting design and utility patents granted in India.

From Research to Real-World Impact

But the real story lies beyond the lab. Dr. Poranki’s frameworks are now being integrated into real-time clinical systems and rural health kiosks across India. These solar-powered IoMT units can:

●Capture high-resolution retinal images,

●Analyze them locally using onboard AI, and

●Securely transmit results to ophthalmologists via the cloud.

The goal is clear: to bring preventive eye care to the doorstep of people who otherwise lack access, ensuring early detection and timely intervention before irreversible vision loss occurs.

“This is about more than technology,” says Dr. Poranki. “It’s about equity. With AI, we can finally bridge the gap between rural populations and high-quality eye care.”

A Trusted Future for Healthcare AI

What sets Dr. Poranki’s work apart is a dual commitment to security and scalability. By blending graph-based machine learning with privacy-preserving encryption, his architecture builds trust among clinicians while empowering patients to take control of their health data.

This is especially critical in the age of telemedicine and IoMT, where data privacy, accuracy, and real-time processing are non-negotiable.

About Dr. Venkata Kotam Raju Poranki (PVK)

With over 20 years of experience in software engineering and product innovation, Dr. Poranki currently serves as Program Manager at Zions Bank in Utah, USA, where he applies his AI expertise to secure healthcare and financial systems. His academic and professional journeys are unified by a single mission: to make AI-powered diagnostics affordable, ethical, and globally accessible.

All About Robotic Knee Replacement at Jehangir Hospital Transforming Lives with Precision and Care

Desk News — Tue, 14 Oct 2025 17:00:10 +0530

Pune (Maharashtra) [India], October 14: When knee pain starts limiting your daily life—whether walking, climbing stairs, or even sleeping—it may signal advanced arthritis or joint degeneration. Knee replacement surgery can be a life-changing solution, restoring mobility, independence, and quality of life. At Jehangir Hospital, Pune, our Advanced Robotic Orthopaedic Surgery Clinic offers state-of-the-art care. With cutting-edge robotics and the expertise of senior orthopaedic surgeons, we provide both Total and Partial Knee Replacement with unmatched precision, safety, and patient satisfaction.

Why Robotic Knee Replacement is a Game-Changer

Traditional knee replacement relies heavily on the surgeon’s skill and manual measurements. Though effective, it carries a small risk of inaccuracies that may impact implant performance and longevity. Robotic-assisted surgery eliminates this concern with 3D imaging and robotic precision, enabling surgeons to plan and execute each step with exceptional accuracy.

Key Benefits for Patients:

Superior implant positioning and alignment for long-term success
Minimally invasive techniques with smaller incisions and less tissue damage
Reduced post-operative pain and faster recovery
Natural joint movement and improved functionality
Lower risk of revision surgery or complications

Total Knee Replacement (TKR) vs Partial Knee Replacement

Total Knee Replacement (TKR): Recommended for patients with advanced arthritis affecting the entire knee joint. The damaged cartilage and bone are replaced with an artificial joint, providing durable, long-lasting relief.
Partial Knee Replacement: Suitable for those with damage restricted to a single compartment of the knee. It preserves healthy bone, tissue, and ligaments, resulting in quicker recovery, less pain, and a more natural feel.

Robotic technology helps the surgical team design a personalised treatment plan, ensuring the most suitable procedure for each patient. At Jehangir Hospital’s Advanced Robotic Orthopaedic Surgery Clinic, a team of senior orthopaedic and robotic surgeons—backed by decades of experience—work together to deliver advanced, patient-focused care.

Expert Opinions from Our Consultants

Dr. Rahul Damle – Senior Orthopaedic & Robotic Surgeon says, “Knee replacement surgery has evolved dramatically over the years. With robotic technology, we can achieve a level of precision that was simply not possible before. This not only improves the implant’s longevity but also provides patients with a smoother, quicker recovery journey. Our focus is always on returning patients to a pain-free, active lifestyle as quickly as possible.”

Dr. Ashish Arbat – Senior Orthopaedic & Robotic Surgeon says, “The biggest advantage of robotic surgery is its predictability and consistency. Even in complex cases, the system provides real-time feedback that guides every movement, reducing the chances of error and enhancing patient safety. It is a perfect blend of surgical expertise and technological innovation.”

Dr. Suresh Patil – Senior Orthopaedic & Robotic Surgeon says, “Robotic-assisted knee replacement allows us to preserve more of the patient’s natural anatomy while ensuring perfect alignment of the implant. The smaller incisions and reduced tissue trauma also mean less discomfort and a faster return to daily activities. It is truly a revolution in joint care.”

Dr. Kunal Bansal – Senior Orthopaedic & Robotic Surgeon says, “Every knee is unique, and robotic technology enables us to customise each procedure to the individual patient. Whether it is a total or partial knee replacement, the system helps us plan with accuracy and execute with confidence, giving our patients the best possible outcomes.”

Dr. Yogesh Jain – Senior Orthopaedic & Robotic Surgeon says, “Patients often delay knee replacement surgery out of fear. With robotics, we can reassure them that the procedure is minimally invasive, highly precise, and designed for faster recovery. It empowers us as surgeons to deliver world-class care right here in Pune, without patients needing to travel to larger metros or abroad.”

Accessible, World-Class Care

Together, we can build a society where every individual feels supported and valued.”

The event concluded back at the IEM Management House with a cultural and motivational session. Students, faculty, and guests joined in lighting candles of peace and took a collective pledge — “Let’s Talk, Let’s Listen, Let’s Heal Together.” The atmosphere was one of unity and strength, as participants shared heartfelt stories, songs, and reflections, making the closing moments both emotional and inspiring.

The rally’s success was a testament to IEM–UEM’s long-standing commitment to holistic education and social outreach. Known for producing world-class professionals and innovators, the Group equally prioritizes the emotional and ethical development of its students. Its continuous association with organizations like the Lions Club International reflects a deep sense of civic responsibility and leadership in community welfare.

World Mental Health Day 2025: Expert Advice on Access to Care in Times of Crisis

Desk News — Fri, 10 Oct 2025 18:00:57 +0530

New Delhi [India], October 10: Every year, World Mental Health Day serves as a reminder of the collective responsibility to prioritise emotional well-being. The 2025 theme, “Access to Services: Mental Health in Catastrophes and Emergencies,” highlights the growing need for timely psychological support during disasters, conflicts, and global crises. As communities face unprecedented challenges, mental health care must become an integral part of emergency response systems.

This article brings expert insights on building accessible, compassionate care networks to ensure that help reaches those who need it most—when they need it most.

Dr Avinash Desousa, MBBS, DPM, M.Phil (Psychiatry), PhD, Consultant Psychiatrist, Mumbai

Access to mental health services during catastrophes and emergencies is often severely disrupted, yet the psychological impact of such events can be profound and enduring. Displacement, loss, trauma, and uncertainty contribute to increased rates of anxiety, depression, post-traumatic stress disorder and grief. In such contexts, integrating mental health and psychosocial support within the emergency response frameworks becomes crucial. Lack of trained personnel, limited infrastructure, stigma, and disrupted communication hinder timely care. Community-based interventions, psychological first aid, and the use of both online and offline health services can enhance accessibility. Mental health care in emergency settings must ensure continuity of care and the inclusion of populations such as children, the elderly, and individuals with pre-existing mental illness. Mental health is a basic right of all people, and people must have access to the same. Building mental health services helps build a nation. Let’s remove the stigma and embrace mental health care.

Dr Keerti Sachdeva, PhD, M.Phil., M.Sc., Counselling Psychologist, Positive Vibrations Clinic, Mumbai

Dr Keerti Sachdeva emphasises the importance of nurturing a child’s mental and emotional well-being through consistent encouragement and support. She advises parents to encourage their child to do better, show faith, and appreciate their positive qualities rather than only pointing out mistakes or putting them down, as constant criticism can leave children with low confidence, low self-esteem, shame, and guilt that may affect them throughout life. Dr Sachdeva stresses the value of free and open communication, listening to everything the child wants to express, instead of merely giving advice, since self-expression is vital for emotional growth. She also highlights the importance of physical exercise and outdoor play, which protect both physical and mental health and reduce the risk of anxiety or depression. Additionally, she recommends using positive reinforcement instead of punishment, guiding children to socialise, and relying on persuasion over force to build resilience, confidence, and healthy mental health.

Dr Kiran Makhijani, PhD, M.A. (Clinical Psychology), PGDLMS, Consultant Psychologist, Mumbai

The theme for World Mental Health Day 2025, “Access to Services – Mental Health in Catastrophes and Emergencies,” reminds us that mental well-being is essential—especially during challenging times. Crises such as pandemics, natural disasters, or personal losses can trigger anxiety, sadness, and confusion. Recognising these emotions early and seeking help can make a significant difference. Access to care means reaching out to psychologists, counsellors, helplines, or using online therapy platforms. But beyond professional help, there are many practical ways to care for your mental health every day. Techniques like deep breathing, grounding exercises, journaling, mindfulness meditation, and progressive muscle relaxation can help calm the mind. Maintaining a routine, getting enough rest, eating balanced meals, and engaging in regular physical activity support both mental and physical resilience. Staying socially connected, even virtually, and sharing your feelings with trusted people, helps reduce isolation. Limiting exposure to distressing news, focusing on gratitude, and engaging in creative or spiritual activities can also promote emotional balance. On this World Mental Health Day, let’s remember—seeking help is an act of self-care, not weakness. Mental health care must be accessible to everyone, especially when the world around us feels uncertain.

Dr Mithila Desai, M.A., PhD, Clinical Psychologist & Psychotherapist, CBT Practitioner and Relationship Therapist; Owner & Founder of Power of Mind, Mumbai (Clinics at Borivali and Khar)

In the mirrored maze of modern life, we’re often ensnared by the relentless whisper: you aren’t enough. The stress to look good, to fit the curated frames of social acceptability, ignites a silent battleground within, fueling compulsive dieting, body angst, and a vortex of self-doubt.

Did you know? Our breathing patterns are like the unseen conductors of this inner orchestra; shallow breaths often amplify anxiety, while conscious breathing becomes a subversive act of reclaiming calm. Letting go emerges as a radical rebellion against the tyranny of perfection. When we release the stranglehold of comparisons, self-acceptance begins whispering sweet truths: you are enough, unfiltered. Societal pressures craft invisible chains; mindfulness becomes the key to unlocking them.

Curiosity alert: Can embracing imperfection be the ultimate superpower for mental freedom? Stress melts when we breathe into the now, dissolving the mirage of the ‘ideal’. On this Mental Health Day, dare to unmask the war within and breathe defiance into self-kindness. Your worth isn’t pixels on a screen; it’s the rhythm of your unapologetic being.

Ms. Rashi Laskari, Counselling Psychologist, Individual & Relationship Therapist, Mumbai; Instagram & YouTube: @intherapywithrashi

During a crisis, access to mental health care is not just about availability—it should also be about approachability. People in distress often don’t seek help because they fear judgment or believe their pain isn’t “serious enough.” My experience over 14+ years in practice has shown that the first step to true access is trust and awareness. When communities, workplaces, and families normalise emotional conversations, they become the first line of care. Digital therapy platforms and employee assistance programs have expanded reach in the last few years, but our strongest tool as a society has to be EMPATHY. In catastrophes and emergencies, what saves lives is timely listening—a psychologist, a colleague, or even a friend—who says, “You are not alone; help is available.” Access begins with that one compassionate response.

Ms Saumya Sharan, Senior Consultant Clinical Psychologist, M.Phil. (Gold Medalist)

In times of crisis, access to care must be conceptualised as a multidimensional process that addresses both systemic and psychological determinants. As a Clinical Psychologist, I view accessibility not merely as the presence of services but as the reduction of internal and external barriers to seeking and sustaining care. Individuals in crisis often experience cognitive overload, emotional dysregulation, and a diminished sense of agency—factors that impede help-seeking. Thus, care systems must prioritise immediacy, continuity, and psychological safety. Crisis intervention must integrate culturally attuned and person-centred frameworks, ensuring that every point of contact—whether virtual or in-person—conveys containment and empathy. Beyond rapid stabilisation, ongoing follow-up and cross-disciplinary coordination are essential to prevent relapse and promote resilience.

Ultimately, effective access to care during crisis is not defined by service delivery alone, but by the system’s capacity to restore autonomy, coherence, and connection in the individual.

Dr Shabiullah Syyed, M.B.B.S., M.D. (Psychiatry), WPA Young Fellowship (Germany); Consultant Psychiatrist at The Definitive Mind Clinic, Madhukar Rainbow Children’s Hospital, Continua Kids, and Hygiea Hospital, New Delhi

Dr Shabiullah Syyed is a Consultant Psychiatrist with over 11 years of experience. He practices at The Definitive Mind Clinic, Madhukar Rainbow Children’s Hospital, Continua Kids, and Hygiea Hospital in New Delhi.

In his perspective, access to mental health care during crises is not solely about the availability of services but also about approachability. Individuals in distress often hesitate to seek help due to fear of judgment or the belief that their pain isn’t ‘serious enough.’ Dr Syyed emphasises that the first step to true access is trust and awareness. When communities, workplaces, and families normalise emotional conversations, they become the first line of care. While digital therapy platforms and employee assistance programs have expanded reach in recent years, he believes that empathy remains society’s strongest tool. In times of crisis, what saves lives is timely listening—a psychiatrist, a colleague, or even a friend—who says, “You are not alone; help is available.” Access begins with that one compassionate response.

Dr Vikas Bhateja, PhD (Cognitive Psychology), Senior Consultant, Indus International Hospital, Chandigarh

Dr Vikas Bhateja, based in Chandigarh, is a seasoned RCI-certified clinical psychologist with over 35 years of experience, having guided more than 30,000 individuals through mental health challenges. On World Mental Health Day 2025, he underscores that access to care during crises is not just a logistical issue, but a moral imperative. He advises that mental health services must be decentralised and mobile, reaching people even in disaster-hit zones through telepsychiatry units, mobile outreach teams, and community health workers trained in psychological first aid. He also emphasises early triage and risk screening at community shelters, so that those in acute distress or suicidal ideation are identified and referred promptly. According to him, integration with primary care systems helps reduce stigma and makes help more reachable. In times of catastrophe, Dr. Bhateja urges governments and NGOs to pre-map mental health resource networks in vulnerable regions—so services can be activated rapidly when calamities strike.

Glucose Today, More Blood Tests Tomorrow: Scanbo’s Roadmap From D8 to D19

Desk News — Fri, 10 Oct 2025 11:31:18 +0530

Surat (Gujarat) [India], October 9: Healthcare is undergoing a transformation that moves testing away from hospitals and central labs into clinics, community centres, and even private homes. This shift is being fueled by rising healthcare costs, an ageing population, and the need for faster, more accessible diagnostics. Patients want answers sooner, and doctors need tools that help them make decisions without waiting days for lab results. Against this backdrop, Scanbo has positioned its device lineup as part of the solution.

The story begins with the Scanbo D8, a compact diagnostic tool that combines non-invasive monitoring with a simple glucose test. But the roadmap does not stop there. Over the next several years, Scanbo plans to expand its technology into devices like the D12, D16, and D19, each adding more blood tests and deeper clinical insight. In doing so, Scanbo aims to move from a device that checks vital signs and blood sugar into a full-spectrum diagnostic platform.

D8: The Starting Point

The D8 serves as the foundation of Scanbo’s product line. It offers seven non-invasive tests, measuring blood pressure, heart rate, heart rate variability, breathing rate, oxygen saturation, body temperature, and single-lead ECG. Together, these functions allow both patients and physicians to capture a meaningful picture of cardiovascular and respiratory health in a matter of minutes.

Alongside these non-invasive readings, the D8 includes a finger-prick blood glucose test. This bridges the gap between conventional self-monitoring devices and Scanbo’s vision of a unified diagnostic tool. Glucose testing is not only one of the most common patient needs worldwide, especially for people living with diabetes, but it also represents a gateway into a larger field of point-of-care blood diagnostics.

Beyond Vital Signs: AI in Cardiac Care

What sets Scanbo apart is its integration of artificial intelligence into cardiac monitoring. The D8 already delivers insights into heart rhythm, variability, and irregularities like atrial fibrillation. This allows the device to act not just as a vital signs monitor but also as a tool for detecting conditions that may otherwise go unnoticed.

Scanbo’s AI-driven cardiac platform, HridaayTaal, forms the backbone of this strategy. It currently supports arrhythmia detection and will expand over the coming years into QRS/PR interval analysis, corrected QT measurements, sleep apnea monitoring, and advanced detections such as ventricular fibrillation and atrial flutter. These milestones show that Scanbo is not merely chasing incremental improvements but positioning itself at the intersection of diagnostics and digital health intelligence.

From D8 to D12: The Next Step

The D12, projected for release in 2026, represents the first major leap beyond glucose testing. It is expected to include four additional blood tests, expanding the diagnostic profile of the device. While details on the exact tests have not been disclosed, the intent is clear: to reduce the reliance on external labs for basic blood analysis.

The significance of this step cannot be understated. Blood tests are a cornerstone of diagnostics, used for everything from routine monitoring to disease screening. By adding even a handful of these capabilities, the D12 has the potential to turn routine checkups into faster, more accessible processes. For patients in underserved or remote areas, this could be a game-changer.

D16: Toward Comprehensive Screening

Scheduled for 2027, the D16 builds on the D12 by adding five more blood tests. This broadens the device’s utility, making it capable of handling a wider range of diagnostic scenarios. In practice, the D16 could serve as a bridge between basic at-home testing and more advanced laboratory work, allowing physicians to triage patients with greater confidence before ordering specialised procedures.

From a healthcare system perspective, the D16’s arrival aligns with the growing emphasis on preventive care. As more conditions can be screened at the point of care, doctors can intervene earlier, potentially improving outcomes and reducing long-term costs. For patients, it means a greater sense of control and the ability to track health trends without constant lab visits.

D19: The Vision of 2030

The final milestone in the current roadmap is D19, projected for 2028. This device will incorporate three additional blood tests beyond those of the D16, rounding out the platform’s diagnostic capabilities. At this point, Scanbo envisions a device that can handle a broad range of first-level diagnostics, moving closer to the role of a portable diagnostic lab.

While the D19 will not replace specialised laboratory equipment, its value lies in accessibility and immediacy. The ability to perform a wide set of tests within minutes at the point of care could reduce unnecessary referrals, shorten treatment delays, and empower patients to monitor their health in ways previously unavailable outside clinical settings.

Why This Roadmap Matters

The progression from D8 to D19 is not just a matter of adding features. It reflects a broader trend in healthcare: decentralisation. As hospitals struggle with capacity and costs, and as chronic diseases like diabetes and hypertension place growing demands on systems worldwide, solutions that bring testing closer to patients are becoming indispensable.

Speaking about this vision, Ashissh Raichura, Founder & CEO of Scanbo, said: “Our mission is to bring diagnostics closer to people. From glucose testing today to multi-test blood diagnostics by 2030, our devices will empower patients and doctors with timely, accurate insights outside the walls of hospitals.”

For individuals, these devices mean less time spent in clinics and labs, fewer follow-up visits, and greater autonomy in health management. For healthcare providers, they mean faster triage, reduced lab workloads, and the ability to focus resources where they are needed most.

Blockchain and Data Integration

Beyond hardware, Scanbo has announced the launch of a fully decentralised blockchain-based integrated platform for healthcare stakeholders—patients, providers, and payers. This system aims to create secure, transparent, and interoperable healthcare data exchange, making Scanbo the first in the world to offer such a model.

This step complements the device roadmap by addressing one of the major hurdles in modern diagnostics: managing sensitive health data securely while keeping it accessible across systems. In regions where data silos and trust gaps limit care coordination, such a platform could help align patients, doctors, and insurers in real time.

Challenges and Considerations

Despite the promise, there are hurdles. Regulatory approval is critical, as devices like the D12, D16, and D19 must meet stringent safety and accuracy standards before widespread use. Integration into healthcare workflows will also require training, data management, and alignment with electronic medical record systems. Finally, while reducing costs is a goal, ensuring affordability for patients across different regions will be an ongoing challenge.

Industry experts note that these initiatives align with global trends toward decentralised healthcare. In countries like India, where access gaps are significant, such technologies could reduce dependence on centralised labs and enable earlier interventions for chronic conditions like diabetes and hypertension.

Conclusion

The journey from glucose monitoring in the D8 to expanded blood testing in the D19 encapsulates the direction of modern diagnostics. It begins with meeting today’s needs—quick glucose checks, vital sign monitoring, and basic cardiac insights—and builds toward a future where comprehensive first-level testing can be performed in a matter of minutes outside the walls of a lab. By framing this evolution as part of the larger healthcare landscape, Scanbo’s roadmap reflects not just technological progress but also a response to systemic challenges. The success of this journey will depend on rigorous validation, regulatory approvals, and market adoption, but the vision is clear: diagnostics that are faster, more accessible, and better suited to the demands of twenty-first-century healthcare.

New Delhi [India], October 9: On 8th October 2025, “Project Roshni –Awareness Today, Vision for life”, an Eye Screening Initiative organized by Making The Difference Charitable Trust by the efforts of Mr. Deepak Vishwakarma, and Ms. Dwiti Mehta in collaboration with its CSR partner International Gemological Institute (IGI), a heartfelt thanks to Mr. Ishwar Iyer and Ms. Sindhu Loyal for their continuous support, has received an overwhelming response from the diamond workforce at Bharat Diamond Bourse (BDB), Mumbai.

So far, over 3,500 beneficiaries have been screened, while more than 4,000 diamond workers have already registered and are waiting to undergo free eye check-ups in the coming weeks.

The initiative is aimed at providing free, comprehensive eye examinations and spectacles to diamond assorting and polishing labourers—workers whose visual accuracy is essential to the global diamond industry.

This project, aptly named “Roshni” (meaning light), is a joint effort to bring clarity of vision and quality of life to those who spend long hours working on microscopic diamond assortments. Eye strain, blurred vision, and dryness are common occupational hazards among diamond workers, often left untreated due to lack of awareness and access to affordable healthcare.

Under Project Roshni, each beneficiary undergoes a comprehensive vision test, including:

– Near Vision and Far Vision Test

– Colour Vision Test

– Dry Eye Test

– Intraocular Pressure (IOP) Test

– Automatic and Manual Refraction Tests

Diagnostics are conducted by 12 qualified optometrists using advanced tools like Auto Refractometers, LED Vision Monitors, Easyton Tonometers, and Ishihara Colour Vision Books. Beneficiaries receive free spectacles on the spot along with a printed report and eye care guidance.

Mr. Anoop Mehta, President of Bharat Diamond Bourse shared:

“We’re glad to see Project Roshni at the Bharat Diamond Bourse, reaching over 7,000 members of the diamond workforce and creating vital awareness about eye health. The knowledge shared will continue to benefit our teams, and we appreciate Making The Difference and IGI for this impactful initiative. We look forward to hosting the next round soon.”

Mr. Mehul Shah, Vice Chairman, Bharat Diamond Bourse (BDB), said:

“Our diamond workers are the true artisans who give sparkle to the gems that symbolize India’s craftsmanship. Project Roshni – Vision for All is a remarkable initiative that brings vision and wellbeing together. We deeply appreciate IGI and Making The Difference NGO for executing this noble cause within our community.”

Mr. Ishwar Iyer, CEO, International Gemological Institute (IGI), shared:

“First of all, thank you to BDB for enabling this initiative for its employees and recognizing the vital link between eyesight and their craft. At IGI, our focus goes beyond diamonds, it’s about the people who shape them. Through Project Roshni, we aim to ensure that the skilled eyes behind every diamond receive the care they truly deserve, because vision health is not a privilege, but a necessity.”

Mr. Deepak Vikram Vishwakarma, Founder, Making The Difference NGO, added:

“The response to Project Roshni has been phenomenal. Over 4,000 workers are still waiting to be screened, which reflects the urgent need for preventive eye healthcare in this sector. Our mission is to reach every artisan and help them see the world as clearly as the diamonds they shape.”

Ms. Dwiti Mehta, Vice President, Making The Difference NGO, added:

Project Roshni began as a humble initiative to address vision challenges among workers and has now grown into a preventive eye care movement. What started as treatment-focused has transformed into an awareness-driven effort, empowering individuals to take charge of their eye health. It’s heartening to see how Roshni continues to brighten lives by protecting the vision of those who shape our world with their skilled hands. Thank You IGI and BDB for immense support and care.

“Project Roshni – Vision for All” targets 7,000 diamond labourers by October 2025.
The initiative addresses vision issues while promoting eye hygiene and preventive care among industrial workers. A co-branded digital dashboard by IGI and MTD tracks data and progress in real time, encouraging BDB to include regular health camps in its welfare programs.

Regular Eye Check-ups Key to Protecting Vision and Preventing Irreversible Eye Diseases

Desk News — Wed, 08 Oct 2025 20:30:10 +0530

New Delhi [India], October 8: Regular eye check-ups play a crucial role in protecting vision and detecting silent eye diseases that often progress without symptoms until it is too late. Conditions such as glaucoma, diabetic retinopathy, and age-related macular degeneration can cause irreversible vision loss if not diagnosed early.

For children, routine eye examinations are essential to identify refractive errors, squint, or lazy eye that can affect their learning and development. Among adults, especially those above 40, screening helps in timely management of presbyopia, cataracts, and other age-related eye disorders.

On the occasion of World Sight Day, observed globally on October 9 with the theme “Love Your Eyes”, Centre for Sight Group of Eye Hospitals reinforces the importance of early diagnosis and proactive eye care. The day serves as a worldwide reminder that vision is one of the most precious senses and needs consistent care to preserve quality of life.

Dr. Mahipal Singh Sachdev, Chairman and Managing Director – Centre for Sight Group of Eye Hospitals, said “Cataract remains one of the most common causes of vision loss worldwide, particularly among individuals above the age of 50. It occurs when the natural lens of the eye becomes cloudy, causing blurred vision, glare, and difficulty in carrying out everyday tasks. If left untreated, cataracts can lead to complete vision impairment. However, advancements in eye care technology have made cataract surgery one of the safest and most precise medical procedures today.”

Dr Mahipal further added “The introduction of bladeless femtosecond laser-assisted cataract surgery has transformed outcomes—offering unparalleled precision, minimal discomfort, and rapid recovery. The laser can fragment and remove the cataract with exceptional accuracy, often completing the critical laser step in as little as 10 seconds. Similarly, the latest generation of LASIK and laser vision correction technologies—powered by AI-driven eye-tracking systems and high-speed lasers—deliver unmatched precision and safety, ensuring clear vision and faster return to normal life. Together, these innovations represent the future of safe, effective, and personalized eye care.”

Centre for Sight has consistently been at the forefront of providing advanced treatments and technologies to safeguard vision. The hospitals are equipped with the latest tools in eye care including bladeless LASIK and SMILE for spectacle removal, femtosecond laser-assisted cataract surgeries for enhanced precision, and cutting-edge retinal care with Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT), retinal lasers, and intravitreal injections. For patients with glaucoma, minimally invasive surgeries are available, while keratoconus patients benefit from corneal cross-linking technology. The group also offers specialised pediatric ophthalmology services and advanced corneal transplants, ensuring comprehensive care across all age groups.

This World Sight Day, Centre for Sight urges everyone to prioritise their vision and commit to routine eye check-ups. Protecting eye health today is an investment in ensuring independence, productivity, and quality of life for tomorrow.

Metabolically active visceral fat linked to aggressive endometrial cancer, new study reveals

Newsvoir Press Release — Tue, 07 Oct 2025 23:00:35 +0530

BARCELONA, Spain, Oct. 5, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — High metabolic activity of visceral fat may be associated with more aggressive endometrial cancer, new research presented today at the 38th Annual Congress of the European Association of Nuclear Medicine (EANM’25) has shown.

While obesity is a recognised risk factor for endometrial cancer, the findings indicate that disease aggressiveness may be driven not only by the amount of visceral fat but also by its metabolic activity. Visceral fat is the fat that surrounds the internal organs, and to a larger degree than subcutaneous fat, it is known to influence metabolism and inflammation.

Researchers from Haukeland University Hospital and the University of Bergen analysed PET/CT scans of 274 women with endometrial cancer, measuring glucose uptake in visceral fat as an indicator of metabolic activity. They found that women with higher metabolic activity – assessed by average glucose uptake in visceral fat tissue – were more likely to present with advanced stage disease and lymph node metastases.

“Higher metabolic activity in visceral fat was significantly associated with more advanced cancer stages and the presence of lymph node metastases,” explained lead author Jostein Sæterstøl, PhD candidate and MSc. “Notably, we saw no strong correlation between the volume of visceral fat and its metabolic activity, suggesting that the link to disease aggressiveness is not merely related to the quantity of fat, but also to its biological activity.”

“The association between higher visceral fat metabolism and aggressive disease is likely driven by multiple mechanisms,” said Sæterstøl. “Chronic inflammation in visceral fat can release cytokines and fatty acids that promote tumour growth and immune evasion. Inflammation is also known to induce insulin resistance, which is another risk factor for cancer progression. In addition, signalling molecules known as adipokines, and crosstalk between fat tissue and tumour cells, may further support cancer spread, particularly to lymph nodes.”

Measuring visceral fat metabolism with PET/CT is not yet ready for routine clinical use due to technical challenges and variability, especially given the low uptake signal in fat tissue. However, future approaches, including standardised imaging analyses, advanced quantitative PET techniques and artificial intelligence, may help identify high-risk patients, guide treatment decisions and monitor disease progression.

Future research will focus on refining measurement methods, improving accuracy through AI-based segmentation and exploring links between visceral fat metabolism and circulating biomarkers such as cytokines and hormones.

How to Understand Health Insurance Policy Documents Without Confusion

Desk News — Tue, 07 Oct 2025 18:30:11 +0530

Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], October 7: Whenever someone sees a health insurance policy for the first time, it’s incredibly confusing. Because there are so many small details, strange terms, and unfamiliar words and phrases, it feels like a secret code, and most people just ignore all of that and simply sign up for the policy.

But when you really need health insurance, say in a serious medical situation, you might hear that your policy doesn’t cover it. And then you might think, “If only I had taken the time to read those documents carefully.” So, let’s look at what you should generally check in your policy documents to avoid confusion.

Why Reading Your Policy Actually Matters

Many people get health insurance because they were told to, or because it’s required by their employer. And some people simply choose the cheapest plan, thinking that’s the best option. But the truth is, if you don’t understand what your policy covers, what’s the point of having it? It can cause a lot of problems down the road.

For example, someone might receive treatment at a small hospital and then submit a claim, but the insurance company might reject it, stating that the hospital is not part of their network and therefore no benefits can be paid. Therefore, by taking the time to read your policy documents, you can save yourself money, stress, and time. And if you want the best health insurance, understanding your policy is essential.

Start With the Policy Schedule

Every policy has a part at the beginning called the Policy Schedule. Think of it like a guide sheet. Here’s what it usually shows:

Who is covered (just you, or your whole family, like health insurance plans for family).
How long do the health insurance plans last, and when do they renew?
How much coverage do you get?
The premium you pay.

This feature is extremely helpful when choosing health insurance for family, as it allows you to easily verify that all family members are indeed covered. It’s fast and easy, and it saves you from a lot of confusion and trouble.

Figuring Out the Premium

Basically, understanding premiums can be difficult because each plan is different, and its premiums vary accordingly. If you choose a comprehensive plan, your monthly or annual premium will be higher.

However, most people prefer plans with lower premiums. To find such a plan, use a health insurance premium calculator. Simply enter some basic details like your age, the number of family members to be covered, any pre-existing conditions, and whatever else it asks for, and it will show you the best health insurance options in just a few seconds.

Understanding What’s Covered

Always keep in mind that two plans with the same coverage can have very different benefits. So don’t just check the amount, look at what’s actually included. For example:

Coverage: This is really the heart of the policy, so never ignore it.
Hospital stays (overnight or longer).
Daycare treatments (like minor procedures that don’t need an overnight stay).
Tests, consultations, and medicines before and after hospitalisation
Extras like ambulance charges, maternity benefits, or wellness perks.

Exclusions: The Sneaky Stuff

Exclusions are easy to ignore, but you really can’t skip them. Common ones include:

Pre-existing illnesses (covered only after some months).
Cosmetic procedures.
Injuries from alcohol or drugs.

If you’re picking health insurance for family, check things like maternity and newborn care because they sometimes have limits if you ignore a small clause and end up paying out of pocket. Not fun at all.

Waiting Periods and Sub-Limits

Someone recently purchased a new health insurance policy with ₹10 lakh coverage. Now, they suddenly have to be hospitalised due to a pre-existing condition, and when they file a claim, they don’t receive the full benefit. This is because they didn’t check the waiting period of the policy before purchasing it.

Therefore, remember that not everything is covered immediately under many plans. A waiting period means that treatment for certain illnesses will only be covered after several months or years. So be careful and read mindfully before making any decision.

Network Hospitals and Cashless Treatment

Always remember which hospitals are included in the insurance company’s network and whether they offer cashless treatment. Many people mistakenly go to hospitals outside the network and end up having to pay out of pocket. Don’t make this mistake; always keep this in mind when reviewing your insurance policy.

Optional Add-Ons

Riders like accident cover, critical illness, or maternity benefits make your premium slightly higher, but often they’re worth it. Using a health insurance premium calculator helps you see if it fits your budget. In other words, making calculations before making a decision is a sign of a wise and financially savvy person.

Simple Ways to Go Through Your Policy

These are the main things to remember, but honestly, if it still feels tricky, don’t stress, it’s okay. Just check out this short list. It’s way easier to follow and remember. Refer to these points whenever you have difficulty understanding the documents for a health insurance policy.

Don’t try to read the whole thing at once. Go through it little by little.
Mark the important parts, like what’s covered, what’s not, and how long you have to wait.
Look at two or three different health insurance plans before you choose one.
Call your insurer if anything is unclear; they will actually help you.

Final Thoughts

Look, if you’ve ever looked at a health insurance policy and felt totally lost, don’t worry, you’re not the only one. The tiny print, the weird words and many things can make your head spin. But if you remember the above-mentioned things, you will quickly come out of this maze.

The goal isn’t just finding the cheapest plan. It’s about choosing the best health insurance that actually protects you when it matters. Whether it’s health insurance plans for family or your own coverage, reading the fine print now will save you from headaches later.

Leucine Rich Bio Unveils BugSpeaks – India’s First Facial Skin Microbiome Test

Desk News — Mon, 06 Oct 2025 16:00:16 +0530

New Delhi [India], October 4: Leucine Rich Bio Pvt. Ltd., South Asia’s pioneering microbiome company, today unveiled the region’s first-ever Skin Microbiome Test- BugSpeaks facial skin microbiome test. This groundbreaking innovation promises to transform skincare and wellness by providing personalized, science-driven insights based on the unique ecosystem of microbes living on the skin.

Unlike traditional skincare approaches that focus solely on topical treatments, BugSpeaks facial Skin Microbiome Test analyzes the millions of beneficial microorganisms residing on the skin’s surface. These microbes play critical roles in protecting against pathogens, modulating immune responses, and promoting skin healing. Imbalances caused by environmental changes, hormones, or harsh skincare products can lead to skin issues such as irritation, breakouts, and sensitivity.

The test evaluates key skin health parameters, including hydration, elasticity, aging, and barrier strength, by analyzing users’ skin samples through an advanced four-step scientific process comprising quality control, DNA sequencing, data analysis, and report verification. Customers receive a detailed, algorithm-generated report with personalized recommendations for topical ingredients, nutrition, and probiotics to restore and maintain healthy skin. While microbiome balance is central, the test also acknowledges broader influences like lifestyle, environment, diet, and genetics.

Fuelled by the rapidly expanding global skin microbiome market, which was valued at approximately USD 1.03 billion in 2024 and is expected to nearly triple by 2032—the launch taps into rising consumer demand for scientifically backed, personalized skincare solutions. The Middle East and GCC regions, with growing awareness and disposable incomes, represent significant markets for this innovation.

Leucine Rich Bio’s commitment to quality is reflected in its ISO 9001:2015 and ISO/IEC 17025 certifications, alongside NABH and NABL accreditations, positioning it as one of the few companies in the sector with such rigorous lab and clinical standards. BugSpeaks Skin is the second microbiome test offering after BugSpeaks gut microbiome test – South Asia’s first gut microbiome test launched in 2017.

Dr Debojyoti Dhar, Co-Founder and Director, says “We took some time in bringing our next microbiome profiling test targeting skin after gut, as we wanted to bring in more actionable parameters in the report.

Voll Santé’s Voll Pro MOM Smart Protein for Healthy Pregnancy

Desk News — Mon, 06 Oct 2025 16:00:10 +0530

Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], October 6: Pregnancy is one of the most nutritionally demanding phases in a woman’s life. The body’s needs increase not only for energy but also for high-quality protein, healthy fats, vitamins, and minerals that can support both maternal well-being and the development of the baby. Yet, many women struggle to meet these requirements, especially when traditional diets or common supplements fall short. In fact, experts estimate that up to 67% of pregnant individuals in the second and third trimesters may not get enough protein.

Insufficient protein intake, imbalanced nutrition, and high reliance on animal-based sources often add to concerns such as gestational diabetes, hypertension, and digestive discomfort. Studies show that gestational diabetes mellitus now affects about 5 million pregnant women in India, and nearly 16% of live births globally. Several large pregnancy cohorts also found that higher intake of animal protein – especially red and processed meat – was linked with increased inflammation and greater GDM risk.

This is where plant-based protein is gaining ground as a healthier alternative. Unlike animal-based sources such as whey and casein, plant proteins like pea and brown rice are naturally easier to digest and gentler on the stomach. They also have a low glycaemic index, making them more suitable for maintaining stable blood sugar levels. In fact, research confirms that adherence to a plant-based diet in early pregnancy is associated with reduced risk of gestational diabetes and better glucose regulation. Plant-based diets, when diverse and carefully balanced, are also rich in antioxidants and phytonutrients that help reduce inflammation, a factor often linked with pregnancy complications like preeclampsia.

They also tend to lower the risk of gestational diabetes and hypertension by supporting a better metabolic profile. Low in saturated fats by nature, they provide clean nutrition without adding cholesterol or trans fats. Importantly, when different plant protein sources are thoughtfully paired, they create a complete amino acid profile, making them just as effective as animal-based protein while being safer and more sustainable.

Responding to this growing need for smarter nutrition in pregnancy, Voll Santé has developed Voll Pro MOM Plant Protein Powder, a supplement designed to support women during and after pregnancy. Each 30g serving offers a blend of pea and brown rice protein concentrates that together provide balanced amino acids and improved digestibility. It goes beyond protein by adding dietary fibre and DHA, supporting a balanced diet during pregnancy. The formulation is also enriched with probiotics, multivitamins, and essential minerals, making it a comprehensive nutritional support system.

Voll Pro MOM is available in vanilla and Swiss chocolate flavours, and it’s lactose-free, has no added sugar, cholesterol-free and trans fat-free profile, making it a convenient choice for everyday use. Easy to blend and gentle on the stomach, it allows expectant and new mothers to meet their nutritional requirements anytime, anywhere.

In a time when plant-based nutrition is being recognised as both effective and preventive, products like Voll Santé’s Voll Pro MOM Smart Protein bring a science-backed option for women to take care of themselves and their babies through one of the most important journeys of life.

Jehangir Hospital: Pune’s Most Advanced Robotic Orthopaedic Surgery Clinic

Desk News — Fri, 03 Oct 2025 16:30:11 +0530

Advanced Robotic Orthopaedic Surgery Clinic at Jehangir Hospital, Pune.

Pune (Maharashtra) [India], October 3: For over 80 years, Jehangir Hospital has been Pune’s trusted name in healthcare, known for excellence and compassionate care. Continuing this legacy, the hospital introduces the city’s most advanced joint replacement solution — the Advanced Robotic Orthopaedic Surgery Clinic, powered by the globally acclaimed MAKO Robotic-Arm Assisted System. This breakthrough combines robotic precision with the expertise of certified orthopaedic surgeons, delivering safer, more accurate, and personalised surgeries that restore mobility and enhance quality of life — faster than ever.

The Scope – More Than Just Joint Replacement:

More than just conventional procedures, this clinic is a comprehensive hub for complex, life-changing orthopaedic care, powered by the MAKO Robotic-Arm Assisted System and expert surgeons.

Our expertise covers the full spectrum of advanced joint care. From Total Knee Replacements (TKR) that ensure perfect alignment and longer implant life in advanced arthritis, to Partial Knee Replacements that preserve healthy bone and tissue when only part of the knee is affected. We also offer Total Hip Replacements (THR) with micrometre precision for pain-free mobility, along with complex hip reconstructions and replacements designed for deformities, failed surgeries, or severe joint damage. In addition, our advanced robotic procedures include revision surgeries, deformity corrections, joint preservation techniques, and treatment of failed or infected implants — all performed with unmatched precision and safety.

Surgery is just the first step. Our dedicated physiotherapy team delivers customised programmes to restore strength, flexibility, and independence. From gait training to joint functionality, every detail is designed to speed recovery, optimise fitness, and extend implant longevity.

How Robotic Surgery Works – Precision You Can Trust:

The process begins with a high-resolution CT scan, creating a 3D model of the joint and enabling surgeons to plan every detail in advance. During surgery, the MAKO system’s AccuStop™ haptic guidance acts as a safeguard, keeping instruments within pre-set safe zones. This protects healthy bone and tissue while allowing implant placement with millimetre-level precision — accuracy beyond the reach of the human hand alone.

While the MAKO system delivers unmatched precision, it is guided by the expertise and empathy of Jehangir Hospital’s Certified Robotic Surgeons — Dr. Rahul Damle, Dr. Aashish Arbat, Dr. Suresh Patil, Dr. Yogesh Jain, Dr. Anshu Sachdev, and Dr. Kunal Bansal. Trained in advanced orthopaedic techniques and internationally certified in robotic-assisted surgery, they blend deep anatomical knowledge, surgical skill, and compassionate care with cutting-edge robotics — ensuring every procedure is not only clinically precise, but also truly personalised.

Surgeons’ Perspectives:

Dr. Rahul Damle, Senior Consultant Orthopaedic and Certified Robotic Joint Replacement Surgeon, explains: “This programme is a milestone in our mission to bring world-class orthopaedic solutions to Pune. It gives us unprecedented precision and control, enabling us to deliver joint replacements that are not only accurate but also tailored for each patient. This means better joint function, quicker recovery, and an improved quality of life.”

Dr. Aashish Arbat, Senior Consultant Orthopaedic and Certified Robotic Joint Replacement Surgeon says: “The MAKO robotic system at Jehangir Hospital allows me to offer my patients a level of precision and personalization that was not possible with conventional techniques. As a trained and MAKO-certified surgeon, I have seen how this technology enhances surgical accuracy, ensures optimal implant placement, and speeds up recovery. My focus is always on delivering personalised surgical experience with exceptional outcomes, and with MAKO, I can confidently provide patients with safer, more reliable, and long-lasting joint replacements.”

Dr. Suresh Patil, Senior Consultant Orthopaedic and American Board (ABPS) Certified Robotic Joint Replacement Surgeon explains: “This advancement supports safer procedures, more natural movement, less implant wear, and longer-lasting results for patients. It is now used across joint replacement procedures — including robotic joint replacements, hip replacement through the direct anterior (muscle-sparing) approach, minimally invasive knee and hip replacements, and revision surgeries for previously unsuccessful procedures. I see this as an important milestone in orthopaedic technology — helping people regain comfort, mobility, and confidence.”

Dr. Yogesh Jain, Senior Consultant Orthopaedic and Certified Robotic Joint Replacement Surgeon says: “With robotic assistance, we can customise every aspect of the surgery to the patient’s needs. This precision allows us to restore function more effectively and help patients regain their active lifestyle sooner.”

Dr. Anshu Sachdev, Senior Consultant Orthopaedic and Certified Robotic Joint Replacement Surgeon explains: “With the MAKO system, we can see and plan every detail of the surgery with unmatched clarity. This advanced technology that encompasses unparalleled visualisation and precision, combined with surgical expertise, helps us perform even complex joint reconstructions with accuracy and confidence. For patients, it means a procedure that’s personalised to their needs — leading to quicker recovery, greater comfort, and results that last.”

Dr Kunal Bansal, Senior Consultant Orthopaedic and Certified Robotic Joint Replacement Surgeon explains: “Robotic joint replacement is transforming the way we care for patients. The technology gives me a precise, real-time 3D map of your unique anatomy, ensuring implants are placed with unparalleled accuracy. This means less pain after surgery, faster recovery, and joints that feel natural for years to come. My goal is not just to replace a joint—it’s to restore your confidence in movement and help you return to the life you love.”

Why This Programme is Transforming Orthopaedic Care

At Jehangir Hospital, every patient receives personalised surgical plans tailored to their anatomy, guided by robotic precision for consistently accurate outcomes. Minimally invasive techniques ensure faster, less painful recovery, while preservation of healthy tissue reduces the risk of complications. All procedures are performed by internationally certified robotic specialists, combining advanced technology with compassionate care. The MAKO advantage enables superior outcomes even in the most complex cases, offering complete orthopaedic care under one roof — all at no additional cost, making world-class robotic surgery accessible to everyone.

Eight Decades of Trust, Now with Tomorrow’s Technology

Jehangir Hospital’s legacy spans more than 8 decades, during which it has remained steadfast in its commitment to patient-first care. The launch of the Advanced Centre for Orthopaedic Robotic Surgery cements its position as the region’s most advanced joint replacement destination — on par with the finest hospitals in the country.

Mr. Jehangir H C Jehangir, Chairman, Jehangir Hospital says, “This state-of-the-art Robotic Programme is a testament to our commitment to advancing technology in healthcare. It reflects our dedication to providing world-class medical care to the society at an affordable cost. We are pleased to see that it has already begun delivering significant benefits to our patients.”

Mr. Vinod Sawantwadkar, CEO, Jehangir Hospital says, “At Jehangir Hospital, we are committed to staying at the forefront of medical innovation. The launch of our Advanced Robotic Orthopaedic Surgery Clinic underscores our promise to provide patients in Pune and surrounding areas with access to the most advanced healthcare technology available globally. This is not just about sophisticated machines — it is about transforming patient experiences and outcomes.”

Dr. (Col) S. S. Gill, Medical Director & Director, Medical Research, Jehangir Hospital adds, “Robotic joint replacement is the state-of-the-art method for precise articulation of the natural joint replaced by prosthesis. Precise articulation includes, matching limb length, joint angulation, joint stability, and ensuring that there is maximum correction of rotational deformities at the joint. This degree of precision also extends to significant muscle and tissue sparing surgery ensuring quicker recovery.The MAKO system is the most superior of all orthopaedic robots as it achieves each of the above advantages with the greatest accuracy. By selecting a MAKO Stryker system, Jehangir Hospital has reaffirmed its vision and mission of providing the best in class care to its patients as to be future ready at all times.”

Pink Nutrition: Mother’s Diet as the First Shield Against Breast Cancer

Desk News — Thu, 02 Oct 2025 14:30:14 +0530

New Delhi [India], October 2: October is globally observed as Breast Cancer Awareness Month, a time when the pink ribbon takes over cityscapes, workplaces, and social media feeds. But behind the symbolism lies an urgent question for India: Are we doing enough to address breast cancer not just through treatment, but through prevention?

According to the Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR), breast cancer has now overtaken cervical cancer as the most common cancer among Indian women. What’s equally alarming is its increasing prevalence among younger women, many of them mothers balancing careers, caregiving, and personal health.

This is where nutrition quietly steps in as an overlooked, yet powerful shield. Emerging research points to the role of balanced diets rich in fiber, antioxidants, plant-based proteins, and essential micronutrients in lowering cancer risks. For mothers, who often shape the family’s food habits, the impact of such choices goes beyond their own health—it influences their children’s long-term well-being too.

The Science of Prevention: A Nutritious Approach

Prevention is not just about annual check-ups. It begins every day at the dining table. When mothers choose clean, nutrient-dense foods, they aren’t just reducing their own risks—they’re shaping the health trajectory of the next generation. A diet rich in the following can be particularly protective:

Fiber: Found in whole grains, fruits, vegetables, and legumes, fiber helps regulate hormones and remove toxins from the body.
Antioxidants: These powerful compounds, abundant in colorful fruits and vegetables (e.g., berries, spinach, and bell peppers), combat cellular damage caused by free radicals, which can lead to cancer development.
Plant-based proteins: Choosing plant-based proteins over red and processed meats can lower cancer risk. Lentils, chickpeas, tofu, and nuts are excellent sources.
Essential micronutrients: Vitamins and minerals like Vitamin D and calcium have been shown to play a role in reducing breast cancer risk.

Beyond Awareness: Toward a Pink Economy

The concept of an ‘India’s Pink Economy’ is emerging where awareness, healthcare, nutrition, and corporate social responsibility converge. Breast cancer awareness is no longer just a health issue; it is also a business opportunity to create meaningful impact.

As consumers increasingly demand wellness products with purpose, companies like Nutribray are finding themselves at the intersection of commerce and care. For every product designed for maternal and child nutrition, the brand is also investing in awareness campaigns and community nutrition education during Breast Cancer Awareness Month.

“Silent struggles like maternal mental health and overlooked risks like breast cancer need collective attention,” says the spokesperson. “Brands must step up, not only to provide healthier options but also to spark conversations that change how India thinks about prevention.”

The Way Forward

As India grapples with rising cancer numbers and maternal health challenges, the conversation must shift from cure to care, from treatment to prevention. Nutrition is not the silver bullet, but it is the first shield—one that is affordable, accessible, and profoundly influential.

In the words of public health experts: “A mother nourishes a family. If we protect her, we protect everyone.”

This October, as the pink ribbons flutter across cities, perhaps it’s time to see the color not just as a symbol of awareness, but as a reminder of something deeper—that prevention begins on our plate, and mothers are leading the way.

Transforming Smiles Across India: Simpladent Clinics Leads with Advanced Implant Solutions

Desk News — Wed, 01 Oct 2025 19:00:10 +0530

Ghaziabad (Uttar Pradesh) [India], September 27: The present era is a combination of health and aesthetics, which Simpladent Clinics further promotes in the domain of dentistry innovation. The dental clinic is acknowledged for its ultra-modern implant technology, dedication to patient care and experience. Simpladent Clinics is trusted by many patients who are looking for quick, reliable, durable and cost-effective dental solutions. By constantly pushing the boundaries of modern dentistry, the institution has carved a niche as the Best Dental Implant Centre in Delhi NCR, supported by its growing network of clinics committed to excellence. Dr Vivek Gaur, India’s pioneer in CorticoBasal® implants, leads Simpladent Clinics with advanced technology and unmatched expertise. Patients across Delhi NCR trust him for fixed teeth solutions without bone grafting – even in complex, medically compromised cases.

Since its commencement, Simpladent Clinics has been working with one aim – optimizing the outcomes via minimally invasive implantology procedures, customized treatment & care, and unwavering commitment to lifelong dental health. The Simpladent dental clinic has access to state-of-the-art dentistry technology and equipment. Hence, they treat all the patients with top-class treatments and provide the best available care during and after the implantology. Apart from immediate-loading dental implants, the clinic offers other services like preventive care, cosmetic dentistry, FMR, etc. With these services, Simpladent has been serving various communities across the Delhi NCR, Ghaziabad, Indirapuram, Surat and beyond.

What sets Simpladent Clinics apart is not just the technology; it’s the belief in exemplary patient journeys. Being recognized as the Best Dental Implant Clinic in Delhi NCR underscores an unwavering standard – a standard that patients both expect and receive. Through continuous education, rigorous quality assurance, and high-touch patient communication, every visit becomes more than just a procedure – it becomes a relationship.

Expanding Excellence: Simpladent Clinics’ Branch Network and the Promise in Surat

As Simpladent Clinics broadens its footprint, the emphasis remains on localized excellence – bringing world-class dental care to every region it serves. Whether it’s the thriving urban centres of Ghaziabad and Indirapuram or the newly launched location in southern India, each branch reflects the same uncompromising standards. The clinic’s presence in Ghaziabad resonates with residents seeking the Best Dental Clinic in Ghaziabad. At the same time, the Indirapuram site carries forward the promise of the Best Dental Implant Centre in Indirapuram.

Now, turning its focus to western India, Simpladent proudly announces the official opening of Simpladent Clinics Surat, solidifying the brand’s commitment to being the best dental clinic in Surat and delivering access to the best dentist in Surat – Dr. Aroon K. Bengani. Strategically designed to serve the region with the highest standards of care, this branch blends local cultural awareness with internationally benchmarked practices, integrating the latest implant protocols, digital radiography, and a patient-first service model. Residents of Surat can now benefit from simplified access to premier dental implant services backed by a brand known for clinical excellence, innovative solutions, and trusted outcomes.

Why Simpladent Clinics in Surat Stands Out

Localized Leadership: With a team of highly trained professionals recognized as the best dentist in Surat, the Surat branch infuses global best practices with a deep understanding of regional patient needs and concerns.
Integrated Technology: At the forefront is a fully equipped digital diagnostics and planning tools, like CBCT scans and virtual planning software, ensuring precision and personalized care, all ensuring speed in procedures.
Patient-Centric Processes: From individualized treatment plans and transparent cost breakdowns to flexible financing and compassionate aftercare, every patient is treated as a priority.
Implant Specialization: The clinic offers single-tooth implants, full-arch replacements, and implant-supported dentures – a comprehensive suite tailored to each patient’s oral health and aesthetic goals.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1. Will dental implants ever get cheaper?

Ans. Yes, the cost of dental implants has been gradually decreasing due to technological advancements and wider adoption. Simpladent Clinics offers affordable treatment to all patients because of its wide associations with implant suppliers.

Q2. What do dental implants cost?

Ans. Costs vary depending on the implant type, number of teeth, and diagnostic work-ups. Simpladent’s approach eliminates the need for grafting by anchoring implants directly into cortical bone. At Simpladent, thorough consultations ensure patients receive a customized treatment plan, detailing all costs upfront – ranging from basic single implants to extensive full-arch restorations.

Q3. Can medical insurance cover dental implants?

Ans. While termed “dental,” implants may sometimes be covered under health insurance if linked to trauma, congenital defects, or systemic health conditions. As insurance support is currently not offered at Simpladent, patients are encouraged to explore independent coverage options if available.

Q4. Are dental implants safe long-term?

Ans. Yes. With proper placement, maintenance, and routine checkups, dental implants can last several decades. Simpladent Clinics leverages implant systems with excellent track records and backs procedures with long-term warranty options.

Q5. Which dental implants are safest?

Ans. Simpladent uses Simpladent India Implants, which are internationally recognized implant systems with high clinical success rates, backed by peer-reviewed studies. These implants includes tapered, root-form, and platform-switching implants designed to ensure osseointegration and bone preservation.

Q68. Can I get dental implants without sedation?

Ans. Absolutely. Many patients at Simpladent opt for local anaesthesia only, allowing them to remain awake and responsive throughout the procedure. For those with dental anxiety, mild sedation is available as an option.

Q7. Are dental implants safe for patients with heart problems?

Ans. Yes, yet patients with cardiovascular conditions are carefully evaluated in collaboration with their cardiologists. Simpladent adheres to strict medical protocols, ensuring safe antibiotic prophylaxis and monitoring throughout.

Q8. Can dental implants correct crooked teeth?

Ans. While dental implants primarily replace missing teeth, they can support prostheses to improve alignment. For patients with crowding or misalignment, Simpladent often coordinates with orthodontists to design hybrid solutions that balance function and esthetics.

Enhancing Quality of Life Through Implant Dentistry

Simpladent Clinics, with its reputation as the Best Dental Implant Clinic in Delhi NCR, extends its quality assurance to every branch, including the ultra-modern branch in Surat, Gujarat. By integrating evidence-based procedures like immediate loading implants and individualised prosthetic solutions, the clinic ensures superior accuracy and predictability. Whether patients come seeking minor aesthetics or full-arch rehabilitation, the approach remains steadfast: comprehensive assessment, personalized treatment planning, and life-long follow-up care, all delivered with empathy and precision.

Simpladent Clinics, under Dr Vivek Gaur’s leadership, specializes in immediate functional loading using CorticoBasal® implant technology. With precision, speed, and reliability, they restore smiles in just 48 to 72 hours – no cuts, no grafts, just permanent results for every patient.

Patient-Centred Innovations at Simpladent Surat

Digital Treatment Journey: From the initial CBCT scan to virtual planning and real-time case evaluation, every step is designed for precision and patient comfort.
Relaxed Environment: The Surat clinic features private consultation rooms, comfortable recovery lounges, and modern interiors designed to calm anxiety.
Affordability & Accessibility: Financial plans, flexible payment choices, and insurance facilitation ensure dental implants are within reach for more patients.

The Health Harbour: Shaping the Future of Global Healthcare from India

Desk News — Wed, 01 Oct 2025 16:06:00 +0530

New Delhi [India], October 1: Healthcare is not just a necessity; it is increasingly a global market opportunity. Rising treatment costs in Western countries, coupled with limited access to specialized care in developing regions, are driving patients to look beyond borders. In this evolving landscape, India has emerged as one of the strongest hubs for medical tourism — offering advanced care, internationally accredited hospitals, and skilled specialists at a fraction of the cost.

Amid this global shift, The Health Harbour, a subsidiary of HominVetrix Global Pvt. Ltd., is positioning itself as more than a medical tourism facilitator. The company is building a comprehensive healthcare gateway— one that blends trusted hospital partnerships, concierge-style patient services, and technology-driven transparency. Its mission: to redefine how patients across continents access healthcare and to build an integrated ecosystem for the future.

Market Demand Meets Patient-Centric Innovation

The numbers speak for themselves. According to industry reports, India’s medical tourism sector is projected to grow exponentially, driven by patients from Africa, the Middle East, and Southeast Asia seeking affordable and reliable care. Yet, despite demand, challenges remain — including lack of transparency, logistical complexity, and gaps in follow-up care.

The Health Harbour directly addresses these issues. Its concierge-style model ensures end-to-end patient support: from travel, visas, and accommodation to hospital coordination and post-treatment recovery. By collaborating with NABH- and JCI-certified hospitals such as Apollo Hospitals and Dr. Agarwal’s Eye Hospital, it guarantees patients world-class care with international credibility.

Beyond India, the company’s partnerships extend to Turkey, Thailand, South Korea, and Dubai, creating a global treatment network of nearly 380 partner centers. This cross-border presence allows patients to access specialized treatments closer to their needs while strengthening India’s role as the anchor hub.

Leveraging Technology for Global Scale

While most medical tourism operators rely on manual processes, The Health Harbour is investing in technology as its competitive edge. Backed by HominVetrix Global, the company is developing AI-powered digital platforms that will offer patients real-time cost comparisons, treatment transparency, digital concierge support, and seamless communication with hospitals.

For international patients — especially those making life-changing decisions in unfamiliar countries — this technology-driven approach builds confidence. For hospitals, it ensures efficient patient acquisition and branding on a global scale.

This dual focus on patient experience and partner value creation positions The Health Harbour as a unique player in an industry that is ripe for disruption.

A Vision Beyond Human Healthcare

What makes The Health Harbour particularly distinctive is the broader mission of its parent company, HominVetrix Global Pvt. Ltd. Guided by the philosophy that “every life matters”, HominVetrix is developing an ecosystem that integrates human healthcare, veterinary wellness, and professional education.

Upcoming initiatives include the launch of Pets Harbour, a veterinary-focused platform offering global consultations and wellness solutions. This expansion reflects a recognition that healthcare is universal — not just for humans but for all living beings.

Combined with AI-powered healthcare concierge tools, these initiatives indicate that The Health Harbour is not just a business model, but part of a long-term vision for sustainable healthcare innovation.

Scaling for Growth and Partnerships

The company’s next phase of growth is ambitious. Plans include:

·Strengthening operations in Dubai and Thailand.

·Expanding into new markets such as South Korea, Singapore, and Mexico.

·Building deeper partnerships with major hospitals to enhance global branding.

·Integrating AI-driven concierge services to handle patient journeys at scale.

These moves are not only about patient growth but also about attracting investors and partners who want to participate in the rising wave of global medical tourism. By offering a model that combines affordability, transparency, and technology, The Health Harbour is aligning with key trends shaping healthcare investments worldwide.

Why It Matters

The global healthcare market is undergoing a profound transformation. Patients are no longer bound by geography, and providers can no longer rely on local demand alone. In this new reality, platforms like The Health Harbour are emerging as critical connectors— linking patients, hospitals, and technology into a seamless ecosystem.

For patients, this means greater access and peace of mind. For hospitals, it means new international patient pipelines. For investors, it represents an opportunity to support a scalable model in one of the fastest-growing segments of healthcare.

Ultimately, The Health Harbour’s ambition is larger than market share. By redefining global healthcare access and extending into veterinary and educational initiatives, it is shaping a future where healthcare is borderless, inclusive, and technology-powered.

Community, Doctors, and Patients Join Hands as SPARSH Hospitals Leads the Beat for Heart Health

Desk News — Tue, 30 Sep 2025 17:00:19 +0530

Bengaluru (Karnataka) [India], September 27: World Heart Day 2025 became a moment of collective action across Bengaluru as SPARSH Hospitals brought together communities, medical professionals, and patients through a series of interconnected initiatives. From crowded metro stations to quiet hospital auditoriums, from bustling city streets to the scenic routes of a trek, the message remains constant—every beat matters, and awareness saves lives. In order to raise awareness, SPARSH Hospital combined engaging skits with live CPR demonstrations and digital initiatives like #LullabiesForParents, leaving residents better prepared for emergencies and naturally paving the way for the next phase of the campaign.

The journey commenced on 26th September at SPARSH Hospital Hennur Road, where a team stepped out from the walls of the hospital into the neighborhoods of Hennur. Over the next three days, skits titled “Don’t Miss the Beat—Recognize the Signs & Act Fast” were staged across schools, malls, and residential complexes, engaging more than a thousand people. These performances were not just theater; they were also followed by the live demonstrations of CPR, which left residents better prepared for the emergency situations. On the 29th of September the focus turned to senior citizens with a special health talk organized at the hospital where specialists shared insights with each other on early recognition of cardiac symptoms and timely medical care as well.

In order to raise awareness, SPARSH Group of Hospitals also launched a digital-first campaign named #LullabiesForParents in order to encourage families to swap stressful alarms for soothing lullabies recorded by their children—showcasing how small, practical lifestyle changes can ease morning stress and support heart health.

Reflecting on the initiatives, Dr. (Prof.) Ranjan Shetty, Lead Consultant – Cardiology & Medical Director, SPARSH Group of Hospitals, said “Through our campaign #LullabiesForParents, we wanted families to replace stressful alarms with soothing lullabies recorded by their children, highlighting how even small lifestyle changes can ease the strain on the heart. This digital-first initiative sparked conversations around heart-friendly mornings while uniting families in a truly personal way. Alongside this, our on-ground initiatives — from community skits and CPR demonstrations to health talks and wellness events — reinforced the same message. At SPARSH, we believe that heart health belongs to everyone, and awareness, prevention, and compassion are as vital as treatment itself.”

The initiative sparked heart-friendly morning conversations online while uniting families in a personal, participatory way. Complementing this, on-ground activities—including community skits, CPR demonstrations, health talks, and wellness events—reinforced the core message that heart health is everyone’s responsibility and that awareness, prevention, and compassion are as vital as treatment.

While the Hennur team reached citizens in their communities, SPARSH Hospital Infantry Road celebrated resilience inside its walls. More than 25 patients who had undergone certain procedures such as coronary angioplasty, pacemaker implantation, ICD placements, and device closures came together for the day of reflection and encouragement. The event was graced by Bengaluru Police Commissioner Sri Seemanta Kumar Singh. Alongside the celebration, staff of the hospital took to traffic signals and metro stations with the Bengaluru traffic police, spreading across more than 2000 citizens regarding the preventive lifestyle habits and emergency cardiac services as well.

Emphasizing the breadth of initiatives, the leadership underscored that healthcare is not only about curing but also about caring and preventing. Teams across all nine SPARSH units engaged with communities throughout Bengaluru during World Heart Day; each activity took a different form, yet together they built a single, powerful narrative: saving the heart begins with awareness—and that awareness begins with us.

Further north, at SPARSH Hospital Yelahanka, the theme of active living took shape on the morning of 28 September with Trekathon 2025. Over 300 doctors from Yelahanka, Chikkaballapur, Doddaballapur, Devanahalli, Chintamani, Gauribidanur, and Bagepalli joined hands in a symbolic trek, promoting preventive healthcare and heart wellness. The trek was also enriched with the basic life support training and yoga sessions, combining practical skills along with the holistic wellbeing. On the 29th of September, in-house health talks were organized with resident welfare associations, carrying the momentum forward and emphasizing the lifestyle modifications and risk prevention as well.

Sparsh Hospital, RR Nagar, in association with Shri Patanjali Yoga Shikshana Samithi (SPYSS), hosted Yoga 3.0 on World Heart Day, bringing together an energetic morning of fitness, yoga, and heart-health awareness. The program opened with a warm-up Zumba session led by national weightlifter and fitness entrepreneur Ramesh (Crossathlon Fitness), followed by a Patanjali Yoga introduction from SPYSS and a guided yoga practice by trainers N.G. Venkateswaralu, K. Prakash, and Mrs. Sheethal Varma. Indian Yogasana medalists from Karnataka—honored for achievements at the 6th Asian Yogasana Championship (2015, UAE) and the WFFYSI Pro-Am National Yogasana Championship (2025, Kochi)—were felicitated alongside their coaches. Specialists Dr. Vikranth Veeranna and Dr. Madhusudhan MG delivered a doctor’s talk on yoga-led lifestyle changes to prevent heart disease.

Sparsh Hospital, Yeshwanthpur, marked World Heart Day with a focused citywide drive delivering preventive screenings and hands-on emergency training. Over 350 young women at SJR College for Women learned BLS, water safety, and choking response, with the hospital donating a wheelchair and first-aid kits. ECG camps within a 10-km radius screened 250+ citizens, 500+ visitors at the Suvarna Food Carnival attended CPR demos, and 90+ members of the Grain Merchants Association received ECG checks with BLS training. The team trained ~200 participants at Magnus and Optima hospitals, 500+ employees at FIMER, ABB, BHEL, and Equitas, and 400+ staff at Shahi Exports. Community outreach also included the Sparsh Hospital Cricket League Season 3 with 15 teams. Up next, Sparsh Hospital will serve as the official medical partner for the 144-km Bahubali Ultra (Sept 27–28), reinforcing its commitment to public health preparedness.

The initiative evolved beyond a hospital-led campaign into a community movement—bringing together patients, citizens, doctors, and civic authorities to stand for a healthier tomorrow.

All over Bengaluru, each activity took a different form, but together they created one powerful narrative: saving hearts begins with awareness, and awareness begins with us.

World Heart Day 2025: Heart Disease on the Rise Amongst Young—Why Waiting Is Dangerous

Desk News — Mon, 29 Sep 2025 21:00:27 +0530

New Delhi [India], September 29: Heart disease is no longer just a concern for older adults—it is increasingly affecting young people in their 20s, 30s, and 40s. Sedentary lifestyles, stress, unhealthy diets, and delayed diagnosis are driving this alarming trend. On this World Heart Day 2025, leading cardiologists emphasise the importance of awareness, early detection, and preventive measures, highlighting why waiting for symptoms can be extremely dangerous.

1. Prof. Dr C.V. Bhirmanandham

MD (Medicine), DM (Cardiology), MAMS (Cardiology), D.Sc. (Cardiology), FRSTM (London), FCCP (USA), FICA (USA)

Prof. Dr C.V. Bhirmanandham, Senior Consultant Cardiologist at Apollo Hospitals, Chennai, and former Professor and Chief Cardiologist at Madras Medical College, has dedicated his career to advancing cardiology and medical education. He also served two terms as Vice-Chancellor of Tamil Nadu Dr M.G.R. Medical University, contributed as Vice President of the Medical Council of India, and played a pivotal role as one of the architects of NEET, along with Dr Ved Prakash Mishra of Pune. Over the years, he has been honored with several recognitions, including the prestigious Dr. B.C. Roy National Award for his exceptional contributions to medicine and cardiology.

Drawing from decades of experience, Dr Bhirmanandham highlights a troubling reality—heart disease is no longer confined to the elderly but is increasingly affecting the young. Sedentary lifestyles, poor diets, high stress, smoking, alcohol use, and late detection are silently damaging young hearts during their most productive years.

On World Heart Day 2025, he emphasises the urgency of prevention. Regular check-ups, balanced nutrition, daily exercise, and stress management are vital. “Your heart cannot be replaced, but with timely care, it can certainly be protected,” he advises.

2. Dr. Puneet K. Verma

MD, DNB, DM, FCSI, FSCAI, FACC, FESC, Chief Interventional Cardiologist & Structural Heart Specialist, ACE Heart and Vascular Institute, Mohali

Pacemakers play a vital role in treating bradyarrhythmia, a condition where the heart beats too slowly or irregularly, disrupting blood flow. In a healthy heart, electrical signals maintain rhythm, but age, disease, or damage can weaken this system, causing fatigue, dizziness, fainting, shortness of breath, or even heart failure. Conventional pacemakers, implanted under the chest with leads, have been the gold standard but can pose risks such as lead fractures, infections, bleeding, or discomfort.

Leadless pacemakers are a newer, patient-friendly alternative. These compact, wire-free devices, implanted directly into the heart via a leg vein, avoid chest incisions and leads. They allow quicker recovery, minimal scarring, reduced infection risk, and greater comfort.

Dr. Verma shares a case of a 68-year-old post-TAVR patient implanted with a second-generation dual-chamber leadless pacemaker, who recovered quickly without bleeding or chest discomfort. He adds, “Dual-chamber leadless pacemakers are valuable for elderly patients or those prone to complications. Advances in technology will further expand patient benefits in heart rhythm management.”

3. Dr. Rakesh Tirmale

MD, DM( Cardio), FSCAI (USA), AFESC (Europe), Terna Superspeciality Hospital, Navi Mumbai

This Year’s WORLD HEART DAY 2025 theme, “Don’t Miss a Beat,” underscores the need for constant awareness and proactive steps to protect heart health. It promotes regular medical check-ups and healthy daily habits. On (29 September, this World Heart Day alarm bells ring louder for younger generations — heart disease, once seen as a problem of old age, is increasingly striking those under 40. This shift is driven by modern lifestyle woes: obesity, hypertension, high cholesterol, sedentary routines, chronic stress, poor diets, smoking, the increasing popularity of vaping. and even effects of COVID‐19 on the heart. The campaign urges everyone to pay attention to early symptoms, make heart-healthy choices, and seek medical help promptly—helping to prevent serious complications and reduce the risk of early death from heart-related conditions.

This World Heart Day, the message is urgent— don’t wait for symptoms. “Screen early, eat smart, move daily, manage stress and quit tobacco”. For young hearts, Every Beat Matters.

4. Dr Swapnil Lokesh Mohabansi

DM Cardiology, Consultant Interventional Cardiologist, Director, The Heart and Brain Clinic, Sinhagad Road, Pune

Young Hearts at Risk: Why Indians Can’t Ignore Heart Health Anymore

Heart disease is no longer a condition only affecting the elderly. In India, an alarming 50% of heart attacks occur in people under 50, and 25% occur in those under 40. The causes are many—stress, processed food, lack of exercise, poor sleep, diabetes, and pollution are all contributing factors. Even college students are increasingly showing signs of obesity, diabetes, and hypertension. Unlike the West, Indians tend to develop heart disease 5–10 years earlier, making early awareness and preventive care critical.

Dr. Mohabansi emphasises that one should not wait for chest pain or other symptoms to act. Prevention starts now. Simple lifestyle measures can make a huge difference: eat right, move daily, sleep well, and regularly check blood pressure, sugar, and cholesterol levels. This #WorldHeartDay, let’s take action to protect our youth from silent killers. A healthy heart keeps you young.

5. Dr. Basavaraj Utagi

MD, DM, FSCAI, Senior Consultant Cardiologist, Fortis Hospital, Cunningham Road branch, Bangalore

Your heart is your lifetime companion — take care of it today, it takes care of you tomorrow.”

Heart disease remains the leading cause of illness and death worldwide, but the majority of it is preventable. The power to protect your heart lies in your everyday choices. Be active — at least 30 minutes of walking, cycling, or exercise daily. Eat smart — more fruits, vegetables, and whole grains; less salt, sugar, and fried foods. Quit tobacco & limit alcohol. Manage stress — breathe, rest, and sleep well. Check regularly — blood pressure, sugar, cholesterol, and weight. This year, let us commit to one small, sustainable change — because strong hearts build stronger families and stronger communities. On this World Heart Day 2025, I urge you: listen to your heart, protect it, and live healthier, longer, and happier.

With best wishes for your well-being,

6. Dr. Nischal N. Hegde

MBBS, MD General Medicine, DM Cardiology, Interventional Cardiologist, Bangalore Hospitals, Jayanagar & Kengeri, Bangalore

Heart disease is one of the biggest health problems today, but the good news is that many heart attacks can be prevented or treated if help is taken at the right time. On this World Heart Day, I want to remind everyone — if you or a loved one experiences chest pain, sudden breathlessness, sweating, or weakness, do not ignore it. These may be signs of a heart attack. Rush to the hospital immediately. Quick treatment can save lives.

At Bangalore Hospitals, Jayanagar and Kengeri, we provide 24/7 Cath Lab services so that patients with cardiac emergencies receive immediate angioplasty and other life-saving treatments at any hour.

Prevention is equally important. A simple cardiac health check-up can help identify risks like diabetes, high blood pressure, or cholesterol before they cause major problems. Tests like Cardiac CT allow us to detect heart disease early in a safe, non-invasive way.

I am proud to share that The Bangalore Hospital at Jayanagar has the only 640-slice Cardiac CT machine in Bangalore, offering the most advanced heart imaging for accurate diagnosis and prevention.

This World Heart Day, let’s take care of our hearts — through healthy habits, regular check-ups, and timely medical care.

7. Dr. Abhijit Aklujkar

MD, DNB (Cardiologist), MNAMS, Senior Interventional Cardiologist, Cordis Heart Institute, Miraroad, Thane and Solapur

A dedicated cardiologist highlights a disturbing trend—the rising incidence of heart disease among young patients. Unlike in the past, when such conditions were seen mostly in older adults, today many individuals in their 20s and 30s are appearing in his OPD. The reasons are evident: late nights, poor sleep, smoking, unhealthy eating habits, and chronic stress.

He observes that early warning signs like chest heaviness, palpitations, or fatigue are often ignored and dismissed as temporary. But waiting can be dangerous, as delays may lead to irreversible damage or sudden cardiac events.

Dr Aklujkar emphasises that adequate sleep, quitting smoking, stress management, avoiding junk food, healthy eating, regular exercise, and timely check-ups are powerful tools to safeguard heart health. On this World Heart Day, he urges everyone to pledge to keep health as the top priority.

For appointments, contact Dr Abhijit Aklujkar at 8369439101.

8. Dr Zeeshan Mansuri

MBBS, MD, DM, FSCAI Interventional Cardiology, Ahmedabad

As a cardiologist, World Heart Day 2025—themed “Don’t Miss a Beat”—is a vital reminder. Every day, I see the profound impact of cardiovascular disease, which is often preventable. Ignoring symptoms or delaying healthy choices is a gamble with your life.

This year, I urge you to be proactive. Know your numbers: blood pressure, cholesterol, and blood sugar. Simple changes—a walk after dinner, swapping processed food for fresh, finding ways to manage stress—are your best defence. Don’t let precious moments with loved ones be missed due to a preventable heart issue. Your heartbeat is a gift; protect it. Book your check-up today.

9. Dr B V A Ranga Reddy

MD, DM, FSCAI, Consultant Interventional Cardiologist- Apollo Jubilee Hills, Hyderabad

Heart health has become one of the most urgent concerns of our time, especially as cardiovascular diseases are now affecting younger populations. According to Dr BVA Ranga Reddy, Senior Cardiologist, the greatest challenge lies in the rising cases of hypertension, diabetes, obesity, and stress among the youth. These lifestyle factors silently damage the heart, often without early symptoms, making preventive care absolutely essential.

Dr. Reddy emphasises that a healthy heart is not built in a day, but through consistent habits—balanced nutrition, regular exercise, adequate sleep, and effective stress management. He also advises regular heart check-ups, especially for those with a family history of cardiac conditions.

“Heart health should be treated as a daily responsibility, not just a medical concern,” says Dr. Reddy. On this World Heart Day, he urges everyone to take small, mindful steps today—because prevention is always better than a cure.

Let us commit to protecting our hearts and building a healthier tomorrow.

10. Dr Dhammdeep Humane

MBBS, MD (MED), DM (Cardiology), DNB (Cardiology), FSCAI (USA), AFESC (Europe), Consultant Interventional Cardiologist, Start Health Clinic, Mumbai

Heart attacks are no longer just a concern for older adults—they are increasingly affecting young adults, often without warning. 1 in 5 heart attack patients today are under 40, and the numbers continue to rise. Dr Dhammdeep Humane, an expert Cardiologist from Mumbai, highlights that modern lifestyles are a major factor. Poor dietary habits, frequent consumption of junk or processed foods, and lack of physical activity weaken both the heart and the immune system. Smoking, including e-cigarettes, significantly raises risk, while

chronic stress from work, finances, and family pressures can elevate blood pressure and trigger inflammation. Rising obesity, Type 2 diabetes, high cholesterol, and hypertension further increase vulnerability, often silently. Early warning signs—chest pain, fatigue, shortness of breath, swelling in the legs, or irregular heartbeats—should never be ignored. Prevention is key: regular health checkups, a balanced diet, daily exercise, stress management, and limiting smoking and alcohol can dramatically reduce risk, helping young adults maintain a strong, healthy heart.

World Heart Day 2025: Rising Heart Disease in the Young – Why Waiting Is Dangerous

Desk News — Mon, 29 Sep 2025 21:00:20 +0530

New Delhi [India], September 29: Heart disease is no longer a condition of the elderly—it is alarmingly affecting people in their 20s, 30s, and 40s. Sedentary lifestyles, stress, unhealthy diets, and late diagnoses are driving a surge in cardiac cases among the young. On this World Heart Day 2025, leading cardiologists share their insights, highlighting why timely awareness, early screening, and preventive action are critical to protecting heart health before it’s too late.

1. Prof. (Dr) M. Wali

MD FRCP FACC (USA), Sir Ganga Ram Hospital, New Delhi

Padma Shri Dr. Mohsin Wali, a distinguished cardiologist, stands as one of the most respected figures in Indian medicine. His remarkable journey began with the rare honor of becoming the youngest physician to serve an Indian President. Over the course of his career, he has achieved an unparalleled distinction—being the only physician to have served three Presidents of India. This unique achievement reflects his exceptional expertise, commitment, and service to the nation.

Recognized with the prestigious Padma Shri Award in 2007, Dr. Wali has made immense contributions to advancing cardiology and medicine in India. His dedication to patient care, medical innovation, and clinical excellence continues to inspire generations of doctors and healthcare professionals. Beyond his clinical accomplishments, Dr. Wali embodies compassion, vision, and leadership, qualities that make him not only a healer but also a role model in Indian healthcare. His journey remains a testament to perseverance and service.

2. Dr. Rahul Singhal

Director – Cardiology and Cardiac Electrophysiology at Fortis Hospital Jaipur

Dr. Rahul Singhal, Director of Cardiology, Jaipur, stresses that heart disease is no longer just a concern for the elderly—it is rapidly affecting young adults, often without any warning. According to him, modern lifestyles marked by high stress, processed foods, smoking, alcohol consumption, and lack of exercise are silently damaging young hearts at an alarming rate.

He has observed that many young patients tend to ignore early warning signs such as fatigue, chest discomfort, palpitations, or breathlessness, believing they are too young to face cardiac issues. This, he cautions, is a dangerous assumption that can lead to sudden cardiac events or irreversible damage.

Dr. Singhal’s advice is clear: do not wait for a crisis. Prioritize regular health check-ups, maintain a balanced diet, exercise at least 30 minutes daily, and manage stress proactively. Even small lifestyle changes—quitting tobacco, limiting alcohol, incorporating yoga, meditation, or mindfulness—can significantly reduce risk.

On this World Heart Day, he urges everyone to commit to healthier habits and spread awareness, wishing all a strong and healthy heart.

3. Dr. Lal Daga

MBBS, DNB (Med.), DNB (Card) MNAMS, FESC (International), FEAC, Advanced Cardiology Training Programme (Seoul), Senior Consultant Interventional Cardiologist at Apollo Hospital, Ahmedabad

Dr. Lal Daga emphasizes that heart disease is no longer just a concern for the elderly—it is rising rapidly among the young. Stressful lifestyles, lack of exercise, unhealthy diets, and late diagnosis are putting today’s youth at serious risk. Waiting until symptoms appear can be dangerous, as heart conditions often progress silently. If you have diabetes, hypertension, high cholesterol, a family history of coronary artery disease, or a smoking habit, it is essential to get your heart health evaluated in advance.

His advice is simple: adopt preventive measures early. Regular exercise, balanced nutrition, avoiding tobacco and alcohol, and routine health check-ups are not just recommendations—they are lifesaving habits. Awareness and timely action, especially when risk factors or early signs of heart illness are present, can protect our hearts and save countless lives.

On this World Heart Day, Dr. Daga urges everyone to pledge to prioritize heart health—not only for ourselves but also for our families and future generations.

4. Dr. Rajinder Thaploo

MBBS, MD (Medicine), DNB (Cardiology), FSCAI, FISC, FAPSIC, Senior Interventional Cardiologist & Cath Lab Director

Heart disease is striking young Indians with alarming frequency. Heart attacks in the 20s and 30s are no longer rare. Stressful lifestyles, erratic diets, smoking, and prolonged inactivity are silently pushing a generation towards premature heart disease.

The tragedy is not just the illness—but the delay. Too often, warning signs like chest pain, palpitations, or unexplained fatigue are brushed aside until it is too late. In my practice, I have seen young lives cut short simply because medical help was sought late. In cardiology, time lost is heart lost—and sometimes, life lost.

The way forward is awareness and prevention. Regular exercise, balanced nutrition, quitting tobacco, stress control, and periodic health checks are essential. Equally important is to act on early symptoms without hesitation.

This World Heart Day, let us pledge: don’t wait for tomorrow to protect your heart—the time is now.

5. Dr. S. S. Murthy

Director & HOD – Cardiology, Ayushman Hospital and Health Services, New Delhi

Dr. S. S. Murthy emphasizes that heart problems among young adults (20–44 years) are rising at an alarming pace. Multiple factors contribute to this trend. Obesity and diabetes are increasing sharply—between 2009 and 2020, obesity rates in young adults rose from 32.7% to 40.9%, while diabetes cases climbed from 3% to 4.1%. Hypertension, now affecting 1 in 10 young adults, can cause thickening of the heart muscle, damage blood vessels, and elevate heart attack risk. Smoking one pack a day doubles the risk, while vaping raises it by 34%. Chronic stress, lack of exercise, genetic predisposition, and post-COVID complications have further added to the burden.

Dr. Murthy highlights the importance of calculating a risk score for every individual, based on age, cholesterol, blood pressure, diabetes, and smoking history. Those in intermediate or high-risk groups must adopt preventive measures—maintaining healthy weight, regular exercise, stress management, avoiding tobacco and vaping, and undergoing routine health check-ups. Timely awareness and action can significantly lower risks and safeguard heart health in the young.

6. Dr. Mayuresh Pradhan

Chief Cardiac Surgeon Wockhardt Hospital, Mira Road, Mumbai, MCH CVTS KEM Hospital Mumbai, Fellowship in Advanced CVTS – Apollo Hospital Chennai, Cardiac Transplant and Advanced CVTS Fellowship, Auckland New Zealand

As a cardiac surgeon, I am deeply concerned by the sharp rise in heart disease among the young. What was once considered a problem of the 50s and 60s is now striking in the 20s and 30s. Studies show that nearly half of heart attack cases in India today occur in people under 40. The reasons are many—stress, irregular lifestyles, poor diet, lack of exercise, and the habit of ignoring early warning signs. I have seen young professionals, full of promise, suddenly land in the operating room with life-threatening heart disease. The most dangerous mistake is waiting—waiting for symptoms to get worse, waiting to ‘find time’ for a check-up, or waiting to make lifestyle changes. On this World Heart Day, my message is simple: do not wait. Get screened early, make heart-healthy choices today, and take small steps that protect your future. Because when it comes to your heart, waiting can cost a lifetime.

7. Dr. Abdul Mansoor

Interventional Cardiologist, Mangalore

Heart disease is no longer just a concern of the elderly — it is rising rapidly among the younger population. Stressful routines, irregular sleep, lack of exercise, smoking, alcohol, and unhealthy food habits are silently damaging heart health. The most dangerous part is that symptoms often appear late, when the disease has already progressed.

My strong advice is to take prevention seriously. A healthy heart is built through small but consistent steps — eating a balanced diet, staying physically active, practicing stress management, avoiding tobacco and alcohol, and going for regular health check-ups. These are not optional lifestyle tips, they are essential habits to save lives.

World Heart Day is a reminder that waiting can be dangerous. Let’s not ignore the warning signs and instead make timely choices that secure our heart health for the future. By taking care of ourselves today, we also protect the well-being of our families and future generations.

Let us pledge to keep our hearts stronger, healthier, and happier.

8. Dr. Jaydutt B Tekani

MBBS, MD, DNB Cardiology, FSCAI, FESC, Senior Consultant Interventional Cardiologist – K K Patel Super Speciality Hospital, Bhuj, Gujarat

Heart disease is no longer a condition confined to the elderly; alarmingly, we are seeing a sharp rise among people in their 20s, 30s, and 40s. The modern lifestyle—sedentary habits, high stress, poor diet, lack of sleep, and rising obesity—has accelerated this trend. The danger lies not only in the disease itself but also in the delay—most young individuals ignore early warning signs, attributing chest discomfort, fatigue, or palpitations to stress or exhaustion. This hesitation can cost precious time, turning treatable conditions into life-threatening emergencies. The good news is that heart health can be safeguarded with conscious choices: regular exercise, balanced nutrition, stress management, timely health check-ups, and avoiding tobacco and excess alcohol. My appeal to the youth is simple—don’t wait for tomorrow to care for your heart. Prevention started today is far more powerful than treatment delayed tomorrow. On this World Heart Day, let us remember that a strong, healthy heart is the foundation for a longer, fuller life.

9. Dr. Khalil Saikh

Interventional Cardiologist, Mumbai

Heart attacks among young adults are becoming increasingly common, a concerning trend that has been observed globally, including in India. Risk factors include Sedentary Lifestyle, Obesity and Diabetes Smoking , Vaping and stress. SCAD , coronary spam and stress induced cardiomyopathy are other than traditional cause of heart attack . Early detection and prevention of heart attack is necessary . “Time is muscle” is a crucial concept in cardiology, emphasizing that prompt treatment during a heart attack (acute myocardial infarction) is essential because lost time leads to a greater loss of heart muscle, which can result in permanent damage, complications, or even death. Every minute counts: the longer the blockage, the more heart muscle is permanently damaged.

Preventive care is more effective early on

Screening tests (ECG, lipid profile, 2D Echo etc.) can catch risk factors before they cause serious damage.
Once advanced symptoms appear, treatment options are more limited and outcomes worse. Waiting is dangerous because heart disease is often silent until it’s too late. Acting early — recognizing symptoms, getting tested, and making lifestyle changes — can save lives.

10. Dr. Naveen Garg

Incharge in the Department of Cardiology, Faridabad

Dr. Naveen Garg emphasizes that the theme of this World Heart Day, “Never Miss a Beat,” is particularly relevant to India. The country is home to a large Gen-Z and Gen-Alpha population, who also faces a growing burden of heart disease. Evidence shows that death related to heart diseases are increasingly prevalent among younger age groups. This paradigm shift from an old-age disease to one affecting the young raises serious questions about lifestyle.

Our technology-driven lives have made us physically weaker. Dr. Garg stresses the importance of “pausing” for one’s health—every beat of the heart should be healthy and productive. Regular visits to a cardiologist, nutritionist, and psychologist are essential. Maintaining a balanced mind and heart, through good nutrition, yoga, social connections, and routine health check-ups, is critical.

He warns that virtual lifestyles, sedentary habits, stress, poor nutrition, and loneliness are causing young people to “miss” their heartbeats. To stay healthy and live better, this generation must reconnect with the real world and never miss any beat.

Rising Obesity Among Indian Women Threatens Fertility: Dr. S. Vyjayanthi Weighs In

Desk News — Thu, 25 Sep 2025 19:13:28 +0530

Hyderabad (Telangana) [India], September 25: Nearly 50% of Indian women aged between 35 and 49 years are now classified as overweight or obese, according to a recent study reported by The Times of India. The findings raise critical questions about women’s reproductive health and fertility outcomes, especially as more couples in urban India turn to assisted reproductive technologies (ART) like IVF.

Dr. S. Vyjayanthi, internationally renowned Fertility Specialist and Director of MotherToBe Fertility Centre, explains that obesity has a direct and multi-faceted impact on reproductive health. “Obesity affects ovulation, egg quality, and even the receptivity of the uterus. Women with higher body mass index (BMI) often face irregular menstrual cycles, higher prevalence of PCOS, and lower IVF success rates,” she said.

The Link Between Obesity and Fertility

Medical research indicates that obesity disrupts hormonal balance, leading to excess insulin and androgens, both of which interfere with egg development. This not only lowers the chances of natural conception but also diminishes IVF outcomes.

“In obese women, ovarian stimulation requires higher doses of fertility medications, and yet the egg yield and quality may remain poor. Implantation rates are lower, and miscarriage risks are higher compared to women within a healthy BMI range,” Dr. Vyjayanthi noted.

PCOS and Obesity – A Double Burden

Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS), a leading cause of infertility among Indian women, is strongly associated with obesity. Excess body fat worsens insulin resistance and triggers more severe PCOS symptoms.

Dr. Vyjayanthi emphasized that “Obesity and PCOS together create a vicious cycle, where one condition aggravates the other. Women may experience irregular periods, excessive hair growth, acne, and difficulty conceiving. Addressing weight management is often the first crucial step in improving fertility in PCOS patients.”

Lifestyle, Diet, and Weight Loss Strategies

Encouragingly, even modest weight loss of 5–10% can significantly improve fertility outcomes. Dr. Vyjayanthi advocates a holistic approach that combines diet, exercise, and medical support where needed.

She advises:

Balanced Diet: Focus on whole grains, lean proteins, vegetables, fruits, and foods with a low glycemic index.
Regular Physical Activity: At least 150 minutes of moderate-intensity exercise per week can help regulate hormones and improve ovulation.
Stress Management: Practices such as yoga and mindfulness reduce cortisol levels, which indirectly support fertility.
Medical Supervision: For women with PCOS or severe obesity, guided weight management programs may include medications or, in select cases, bariatric surgery before attempting fertility treatments.

Why Obesity Matters in IVF

IVF success rates are significantly lower in obese women compared to women of healthy weight. Embryo transfer outcomes, pregnancy rates, and live birth rates all decline as BMI increases.

“At MotherToBe Fertility, we encourage patients to achieve their best possible health before starting IVF. Our team supports women with nutrition guidance, exercise counseling, and endocrinology input to optimize their chances of success,” Dr. Vyjayanthi shared.

As obesity rates rise in India, fertility specialists stress the urgent need for awareness. With delayed motherhood becoming more common among working women, Dr. Vyjayanthi believes education and preventive measures are key.

“Fertility is not just about technology like IVF; it’s also about overall health. By addressing lifestyle factors such as obesity early, women can preserve their fertility, improve pregnancy outcomes, and safeguard long-term health,” she concluded.

Dr. Pratik Patil’s Relentless Pursuit of Hope in Cancer Care

Desk News — Thu, 25 Sep 2025 19:13:22 +0530

Pune (Maharashtra) [India], September 25: As September ushers in Cancer Awareness Month, it also brings with it stories of resilience, breakthroughs, and hope. In Pune, one story shines particularly bright—that of Dr. Pratik Patil, a renowned oncologist whose career has been defined not only by cutting-edge medicine but also by a deeply human approach to care.

A Life Committed to Oncology

Dr. Pratik Patil’s journey into oncology was not a mere professional choice; it was a calling. After completing his DM in Medical Oncology from New Delhi, he pursued advanced training in Thoracic Oncology from Michigan State Cancer University, USA, followed by a Cancer Immunotherapy fellowship from Harvard Medical School, USA. His academic path took him across continents, but his heart has always been rooted in India, where he returned to serve communities with limited access to advanced cancer care.

Today, he is recognised as a leading consultant oncologist and haematologist at Jupiter Hospital, Pune. His expertise spans a vast spectrum—from solid tumours like breast, lung, and ovarian cancers to hematologic conditions like lymphoma, leukaemia, and multiple myeloma.

Bridging Science and Compassion

What truly distinguishes Dr. Patil is his ability to balance rigorous clinical practice with empathy. “Cancer is not just a disease of the body—it affects the mind, the family, and even the community,” he often emphasises. His patients echo this sentiment, frequently describing him not just as a doctor, but as a guiding presence who restores hope when the journey seems darkest.

In an era where oncology can feel overwhelmingly technical, his clinic is built around human connection. He takes time to explain each treatment plan, empower patients with knowledge, and ensure families feel supported at every step.

Personalised Cancer Care: Precision Oncology

● Personalised treatment plans in cancer involve tailoring therapies based on the unique genetic, molecular, and environmental characteristics of an individual’s cancer (biopsy sample.

● This approach uses advanced technologies like genomic profiling to identify specific mutations, biomarkers, and molecular features of the tumour, allowing doctors to select the most effective treatments—such as targeted therapies, immunotherapies, or chemotherapy regimens—designed to directly address the patient’s specific cancer type.

● Treating cancer today as a blanket protocol is not done. Every individual responds differently to the treatment, hence genetic personalisation is a necessity today.

Why is Precision Oncology Important?

1. Improved Treatment Efficacy: By targeting the specific mutations or characteristics of the cancer, treatments can be more effective, leading to better outcomes and fewer side effects compared to traditional methods.

2. Minimising Side Effects: Targeted therapies are designed to be more specific in their action, meaning they’re less likely to harm healthy cells. hence fewer side effects.

3. Personalised Approach: Every cancer is unique, and precision oncology recognises that the same type of cancer in different patients can behave very differently based on their genetic makeup. By customising treatment plans, precision oncology ensures each patient gets the most appropriate therapy.

4. Helps with Treatment Resistance: Cancer cells can develop resistance to certain treatments over time. With precision oncology, doctors can monitor changes in the cancer’s genetic makeup and modify treatment plans before the cancer becomes fully resistant.

Challenges and Limitations of Precision Oncology:

● Not All Cancers Have Targetable Mutations; hence, in some cancers, chemotherapy is the only option.

● Cost and Accessibility: Precision oncology tests, like next-generation sequencing, can be expensive, and not all patients have access to these tests or treatments, especially in lower-resource settings.

● Tumour Heterogeneity: Tumours can change over time, and not all cells within a tumour may carry the same mutations, which can make treatment challenging.

● Resistance to Targeted Therapies: Over time, cancer cells can evolve and develop resistance to targeted therapies, which may require switching to new drugs or treatment strategies.

The Future of Precision Oncology:

● Improved Testing: As technology advances, genetic profiling is becoming more accessible, and the scope of testable genes is expanding.

● Broader Targeted Treatments: New therapies are continuously being developed to target a wider range of mutations and cancers.

● Integration with Artificial Intelligence: AI is expected to further improve how genetic data is analysed, helping to identify new treatment options and predict patient outcomes with even greater precision.

September: A Month for Awareness and Action

Every year, September’s Cancer Awareness Month serves as a reminder that awareness saves lives. Cancers detected early are often curable, yet a lack of awareness and stigma continue to delay diagnosis in India. Dr. Patil believes this month is not just symbolic, but a call to action.

In his clinics, September is marked by educational outreach—from awareness talks to one-on-one patient counselling. “The earlier a patient comes, the better we can treat them,” he stresses. His advocacy includes encouraging regular screenings, promoting preventive lifestyles, and addressing myths that often deter people from seeking help.

Looking Beyond Treatment: Holistic Care

Cancer affects more than the body—it impacts livelihoods, mental health, and families. Recognising this, Dr Patil integrates counselling, nutritional advice, and psychological support into his practice. He collaborates with multi-disciplinary teams to ensure no patient feels alone, reinforcing the belief that cancer care must be comprehensive and compassionate.

Final Thoughts

Dr. Pratik Patil embodies what modern oncology strives to be—a seamless blend of science, empathy, and advocacy. As Cancer Awareness Month unfolds, his story serves as both inspiration and reminder: while cancer remains a formidable foe, the fight is far from hopeless. With leaders like him at the forefront, every patient gains not only treatment but also renewed courage.

Egg Freezing Gains Popularity in India: Dr. S. Vyjayanthi on the Future of Fertility Preservation

Desk News — Thu, 25 Sep 2025 18:35:54 +0530

Hyderabad (Telangana) [India], September 25: Fertility preservation is no longer a subject confined to medical textbooks and oncology wards—it is now part of mainstream conversations among India’s urban, career-driven women. One procedure leading this change is egg freezing, and guiding this shift with expertise and compassion is Dr S. Vyjayanthi, Director of MotherToBe Fertility Centre and Head of the Fertility Department at KIMS Hospitals, Secunderabad.

The Changing Face of Fertility Choices

Traditionally, fertility treatments were sought only when couples encountered challenges conceiving. But today, women in their late 20s and early 30s are taking a proactive step by choosing to freeze their eggs. According to Dr Vyjayanthi, this marks a new era in reproductive health.

“Egg freezing is not only for women undergoing cancer treatment or medical conditions that threaten fertility,” she explains. “We are seeing a growing number of professionals—lawyers, IT specialists, entrepreneurs—choosing social egg freezing to protect their fertility while pursuing their careers and personal goals.”

Why Timing Matters

Dr Vyjayanthi stresses that age remains the single most critical factor in fertility. Women are born with a limited number of eggs, and both the quality and quantity decline over time.

“Freezing eggs at a younger age—ideally before 35—significantly increases the chances of achieving a successful pregnancy later in life,” she says. “It’s about empowering women to plan motherhood on their terms, without feeling rushed by their biological clock.”

The Science Behind Egg Freezing

The procedure itself is a blend of science and precision. It begins with controlled ovarian stimulation, followed by egg retrieval. These eggs are then preserved through vitrification, a rapid freezing method that prevents ice crystal formation and maintains egg quality.

When the woman is ready for pregnancy, the eggs can be thawed, fertilised through IVF, and transferred as embryos. “The technology is highly advanced and safe,” Dr Vyjayanthi reassures. “We have seen remarkable results for patients who return years later to use their frozen eggs.”

Emotional Freedom and Empowerment

Beyond the science, Dr. Vyjayanthi highlights the psychological benefits. For many women, egg freezing brings a sense of control and peace of mind.

“It gives women breathing space,” she notes. “They can focus on their education, career, or finding the right life partner, without the constant anxiety of running out of time. For patients, this relief itself is life-changing.”

Rising Awareness in India

Urban centers like Hyderabad, Bengaluru, and Mumbai are witnessing an uptick in women seeking consultations on egg freezing. Alongside career-oriented women, patients with conditions like premature ovarian insufficiency, endometriosis, or those undergoing cancer therapies are also considering fertility preservation.

At MotherToBe Fertility Centre, the demand has steadily grown. “Our approach is to provide advanced treatment backed by ethical practices and thorough counselling,” Dr Vyjayanthi emphasises. “Every woman deserves to make an informed choice about her fertility.”

Looking Ahead: A New Chapter in Reproductive Health

Experts believe that fertility preservation will play a transformative role in reproductive planning in India over the coming decade. As awareness spreads and societal attitudes shift, egg freezing is likely to become as normalized as other preventive healthcare measures.

For Dr. Vyjayanthi, the mission is clear: “Fertility preservation is not about delaying motherhood indefinitely. It’s about giving women the right to choose—on their terms, with the best chances possible. That, to me, is the true revolution in fertility care.”

India Gets Its First-Ever, Comprehensive, Most Impactful Breast Cancer Program

Desk News — Thu, 25 Sep 2025 18:28:57 +0530

New Delhi [India], September 25: With breast cancer on the rise and 1 in 8 Indian women at risk, a landmark initiative blends knowledge, self-advocacy, and risk assessment to transform how India faces its most common women’s cancer.

After winning international recognition for pioneering a breast cancer awareness program in South Africa, Phylaxis.ai® now brings an enhanced empowerment model to India – combining awareness and risk assessment for the first time.

The Global and Indian Challenge: Why Empowerment Matters?

Lack of medically correct awareness and not being conscious of an individual’s risk profile are the leading causes of late-detection breast cancer.

Breast cancer has become the most common cancer among women in India, with more than 200,000 new cases every year, according to the Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR). Behind this number lies an even more troubling reality: over 60% of these cases are diagnosed in late stages, when survival rates drop dramatically, treatment options are limited, and healthcare costs soar.

Global data consistently shows that early detection can improve survival rates by up to 90% and reduce treatment costs by as much as 70%. Yet in India, delayed diagnosis continues to be the norm, fuelled by limited awareness, social stigma, and insufficient access to screening.

A First-of-Its-Kind Program for India

If someone told you that a ten-minute digital assessment could potentially save millions of lives, you’d probably think they were overselling it. But sometimes, the most impactful solutions really are that simple.

The Phylaxis.ai® platform offers a solution to the challenges of breast cancer awareness and prevention in India. As the first-of-its-kind comprehensive online assessment, it empowers individuals with personalised knowledge, breaking down barriers to care and facilitating early detection.

Unlike traditional awareness campaigns, Phylaxis.ai® leverages a data-driven approach to provide targeted education and address specific knowledge gaps, ensuring maximum impact. By combining accessibility, affordability, and cutting-edge innovation, this program represents a significant step forward in the fight against breast cancer, empowering women across the country to take control of their health.

How the Program Works

The program works through two key components:

Phylaxis Risk Index®: A personalised assessment that helps women understand their individual vulnerability to breast cancer.
Phylaxis Awareness Index®: A structured evaluation of an individual’s knowledge of breast cancer risk factors, symptoms, screening, and examination for early detection and prevention.

The following form the core aspects that define the program and its impact:

Personalised Assessment: Through an easy-to-use digital tool, participants answer questions about their breast cancer risk, knowledge and receive personalised reports highlighting risk and gaps in understanding.
Call to Action: The report provides recommendations for the need and frequency of Breast Self-Exam, Clinical Breast Examination and Mammogram Screening.
Rewards and Incentives: The platform is scientifically designed to promote seeking behaviour by offering rewards and incentives for positive health behaviour.
Empowerment: The report provides educational content tailored to each individual’s needs, helping close knowledge gaps, clarifying myths and facts, and encouraging early screening behaviours.
Data-Driven Insights: Phylaxis.ai® not only helps individuals but also provides valuable data insights for institutions to identify patterns of risk, awareness and gaps in the healthcare system, enabling them to define high-yield targeted interventions.

What Does This Mean for Indian Women?

The South Africa experience showed that technology-driven healthcare interventions can work at scale. The program there was designed to “break barriers in healthcare and breast cancer awareness” and ensure “more South African women, particularly in underserved regions, have access to critical early-detection and prevention resources that can save lives.”

India’s version takes this proven model and adds the crucial element of risk assessment, creating a comprehensive empowerment tool that goes beyond just education to actual risk evaluation and personalized guidance.

A woman who starts doing monthly self-exams after taking this assessment has a higher chance of detecting a lump months or years earlier.
A high-risk woman referred for early screening could receive life-saving treatment at Stage 1 instead of Stage 3.

From South Africa to India: Tracing the Journey of Innovation

The story begins in South Africa in Oct 2024. In a significant step toward tackling breast cancer literacy and disparities in South Africa, Phithos Technologies – in partnership with the Breast Health Foundation (BHF) –launched the world’s first-ever comprehensive Breast Cancer Awareness Program using the innovative health-tech platform, Phylaxis.ai®

This pioneering initiative – supported by Novartis and recognised by the Alliance and Partnerships for Patient Innovation and Solutions (APPIS) as one of the top three winners of their 2024 Innovator Program transformed breast cancer awareness, screening and intervention across the country.

Prof. Carol-Ann Benn, a renowned surgeon, top breast cancer specialist in South Africa, and the head of The Breast Care Centre of Excellence (BCCE), herself did the assessment and quoted “Absolutely the most amazing thing that Breast Health Foundation has come up with, it is a wonder. The only concern is that I only got 76% and not 100%, which goes to show that we all can learn something about breast health, what we need to check for, and I encourage everyone to use the assessment tool”.

The results in South Africa were encouraging: thousands of women accessed accurate information in their own languages, communities began confronting stigma more directly, and patient navigators bridged gaps between women and health facilities.

India’s program picks up where South Africa’s left off. Drawing inspiration from the South African model but adapted to India’s unique challenges of scale, diversity, and access.

Phylaxis.ai®: Driving Innovation in Women’s Health

With a world-class research and innovation team of medical doctors and data scientists from Oxford, India, and South Africa, Phylaxis.ai® is committed to the process of continuous innovation and technological evolution to deliver affordable and quality healthcare services.

The vision is clear: “Reducing National Disease Burden and Associated Costs of Breast Cancer” by progressively improving early detection and prevention.

This commitment is not just medical-it is social and economic. With India spending billions annually on cancer care, Phylaxis.ai® is demonstrating how preventative healthcare can create long-term savings while saving lives.

Changing the Economics of Cancer Care

Beyond lives saved, the program has enormous implications for healthcare economics. According to the WHO, early detection reduces treatment costs by up to 70%. In India, where late-stage treatments often involve expensive chemotherapy, radiation, and hospital stays, the potential savings are enormous.

Consider this: if even 10% of late-stage cases shift to early-stage detection because of this program, it could save the country hundreds of crores annually—money that can be reinvested into prevention, infrastructure, and training.

By combining awareness with actionable risk data, Phylaxis.ai® is positioning itself not just as a health innovator but also as a driver of healthcare reform.

A Paradigm Shift in Personalised, Prospective, and Preventive Healthcare

As Dr Bradley Max Segal, Chief Health AI Officer at Phylaxis.ai®, explains, this initiative has the potential to reshape healthcare: “By leveraging personalised assessments, we’re able to deliver targeted educational content that addresses each individual’s specific knowledge gaps. This approach has the potential to significantly improve early-detection rates and breast health outcomes while providing insights into overall patterns of risk and awareness to help define high-yield targeted interventions and effective programs & policy updates.”

Lovkesh Arora, Co-Founder Phylaxis.ai®, emphasised, Access to contextualised and personalised health information is fundamental to promoting better health at all levels of the socio-ecological hierarchy. We view this as an essential component of quality healthcare services, aligning with the ‘Right to Health’ principle.

Conclusion

The launch of India’s first Breast Cancer Risk & Awareness Program marks a revolutionary step in healthcare. By combining risk assessment, awareness tracking, and commitment to Phylaxis.ai® for inclusivity and innovation, the initiative delivers a comprehensive model that could save countless lives.

As the pilot results show, change is already underway. Women are acting earlier, high-risk cases are being identified sooner, and conversations are becoming more data-driven. With continued expansion, this ten-minute assessment may very well become the defining tool in India’s fight against breast cancer.

An assessment that takes just minutes could save millions, and with Phylaxis.ai® leading the way, it might just change the future of women’s health in India.

Urban India is redefining self-care, and the spotlight has shifted beyond gyms and skincare clinics. Dentistry has become part of the lifestyle upgrade, with aligners, implants, and smile makeovers now viewed as essential steps toward health and confidence. Research continues to show how oral health influences conditions like diabetes and heart disease, making a radiant smile both a medical necessity and a social advantage. Responding to this shift, The Dental Bond, co-founded by Dr. Husain Harianawala (MDS Prosthodontics, ITI Implant Scholar) and Dr. Farhath Sayed (MDS Endodontics, Microscopic Specialist), is reshaping dentistry in India. Their approach combines international expertise, advanced technology, and a patient-first philosophy tailored for a generation that values both well-being and self-expression.

This broader view of oral care reflects how dentistry is no longer confined to drills, cavities, or emergencies. It has become central to maintaining overall health, confidence, and even professional presence. As Dr. Husain Harianawala (MDS Prosthodontics, ITI Scholar, trained in the USA and Europe) explains, “Dentistry today is not just about fixing teeth, it’s about restoring health, confidence, and lifestyle.”

Our everyday habits—late nights, endless cups of coffee, stress, smoking, or irregular meals—leave their mark on our oral health. Discoloration, grinding, sensitivity, and gum problems are increasingly common. More importantly, research shows poor oral health is tied to conditions like heart disease, diabetes, and low immunity. In today’s world, a healthy smile is no longer optional. It is part of overall wellness, as essential in boardrooms and social gatherings as it is on video calls.

This shift has also changed how people view treatments. What was once seen as indulgence has become necessity. Dental implants are now the gold standard for tooth replacement—permanent, reliable, and discreet. Cosmetic dentistry, once linked only with celebrities, is now part of everyday life, with veneers, aligners, whitening, and smile makeovers becoming common choices for professionals, entrepreneurs, and even retirees who want to look and feel their best. Patients today expect care that is quick, predictable, and minimally invasive, with results that fit seamlessly into their busy lives.

This is where The Dental Bond has reimagined the experience. Picture this: you walk in with a dental concern and walk out the same day with a crown or implant in place. What used to take weeks is now done in hours, thanks to digital scans, 3D planning, and same-day workflows. Microscopic dentistry ensures precision at every step, making treatments more comfortable and reliable. For those who value both time and quality, The Dental Bond feels less like a dental clinic and more like a modern wellness experience built around people’s lives.

At the core of this vision are its co-founders, Dr. Husain Harianawala (MDS Prosthodontics, ITI Implant Scholar) and Dr. Farhath Sayed (MDS Endodontics, Microscopic Specialist), each with over 16 years of expertise. Dr. Harianawala, an internationally recognised implant scholar trained across the USA and Europe, leads a team of seven specialists whose collective training spans the UK, the US, Europe, and Asia. He focuses on implants and smile makeovers that meet global standards of precision and aesthetics. Dr. Farhath Sayed, a globally renowned microscopic endodontist, has built her reputation around procedures like root canals, fillings, inlays, and onlays performed under high magnification, ensuring long-term strength and comfort. Together, they are creating a new standard of dentistry in India—scientifically advanced, globally benchmarked, and deeply personal.

Step into The Dental Bond and the difference is evident. A female-led, multidisciplinary team ensures holistic care, while concierge-style services make each visit smooth and stress-free. From the first consultation to long-term maintenance, every interaction is designed to be seamless. For today’s fast-paced and health-conscious generation, dentistry has become as much a part of lifestyle care as fitness or skincare, and The Dental Bond has built its practice around exactly that need.

India’s approach to healthcare is evolving rapidly, and dentistry is moving in step. Implants and cosmetic care are no longer fringe options but mainstream choices. Preventive care is taking the spotlight, and digital innovation is making treatments faster, more accurate, and more comfortable than ever. In this landscape, The Dental Bond stands out as both a pioneer and a guide, helping people see dentistry not as an obligation but as an investment in living better.

Because in the end, a smile is more than just an accessory. It reflects health, confidence, and self-expression. And in today’s India, it is not an extravagance—it is an essential part of life.

Man with Three Kidneys Finds Relief Through Robotic Surgery at Medicover Hospitals

Desk News — Thu, 25 Sep 2025 17:47:20 +0530

Bengaluru (Karnataka) [India], September 25: Imagine living your whole life without knowing you were born with three kidneys. For a 38-year-old man, this rare condition came to light only after two years of unexplained pain on the left side of his abdomen and recurrent urinary infections.

When he came to Medicover Hospitals, Whitefield, scans revealed the unusual finding—two kidneys on the left side. The upper kidney was blocked at its urinary passage, had stopped functioning, and had swollen to nearly 10 cm, like a balloon. This was the hidden cause of his constant pain and repeated infections.

Under the leadership of Dr. Pramod S, Robotic Urologist and Renal Transplant Surgeon, a team of doctors turned to robotic nephrectomy—a cutting-edge procedure that combines precision with safety. Using robotic technology, the team carefully removed the diseased kidney while preserving the healthy lower one and its blood vessels.

The patient recovered smoothly after the surgery and is now completely free from the debilitating pain and infections that once controlled his life.

Speaking about the case, Dr. Pramod S said, “It’s not often that we come across such rare conditions. With robotic technology, we could perform the surgery with precision and protect the healthy kidney. The best outcome is that the patient can now live without the constant discomfort he had endured for years.”

This case underscores how advanced robotic surgery is reshaping complex kidney care in India—transforming not just medical outcomes, but also lives.

India Scales Up in Innovation and Technology for a New Healthcare Ecosystem

Desk News — Thu, 25 Sep 2025 17:47:12 +0530

New Delhi [India], September 25: In the past few decades, India’s Healthcare sector has witnessed a quiet but powerful transformation. What was once a fragmented system struggling to meet the needs of billions of people is now redefining itself into a tech-driven, innovation-friendly ecosystem. Rooting from indigenous medical device manufacturing to AI-powered diagnostics, the change is clearly visible across the country. The main reason behind the transition is the collaboration between the medical experts, hospital leaders, entrepreneurs, and policymakers – a coalition redefining the future of the healthcare sector.

The foundation of the entire system lies in the indigenous innovation. Dr Jitendra Sharma, Founder, CEO and MD of the Andhra Pradesh MedTech Zone (AMTZ), has been instrumental in contributing his level best in advancing the capability of India’s Medical Device industry. Reflecting on the role of innovation, he says, “India cannot be completely dependent on imports if it has to become self-reliant in the healthcare sector. By developing the indigenous solutions, we not only make the technology affordable but also ensure that it gets contextualised for Indian realities. In India, Medtech parks like AMTZ are not only industrial hubs, they are an innovation ecosystem as well that brings together the research, startups and clinicians.

This point reflects a significant milestone as well, such as India’s MedTech market, valued at over $11 billion in 2024, is projected to grow at a rate of 15%. With the continuous development of facilities like AMTZ, India is reducing its dependency on the

equipment which are imported from other countries, and instead it is creating its own global competitive solutions.

While Medtech Infrastructure forms the backbone, the hospital continues to remain the frontline where patients experience the ecosystem in action. Ms Devyani Jaipuria, Director – RJ Corp Healthcare Business, believes that innovation should not only be restricted to machines, and medical devices should be extended to care models as well.

Speaking on the same, she said, “Healthcare innovation should be completely based on the people-centric approach. Whether it is adopting AI methods for early detection or designing pathways of maternity care, technology should serve as an enabler for compassion, not as a replacement. At Cocoon, we see digital health not only as a disruption but as the extension of our care philosophy – the one which integrates both emotional and physical needs of patients”.

The Combination of teleconsultations, patient education platforms, and wearable health trackers into everyday hospital operations is a growing trend nowadays. A recent study by the World Health Organisation shows that digital engagement tools increase the rate of treatment adherence among patients by 25%.

All over the country, patient volume is highest in the Delhi/NCR, and the data-driven ecosystem is becoming central to healthcare management. Mr Amit Singh, Group CEO, Yatharth Super Speciality Hospitals, continuously stresses the importance of records related to digital health and interoperability.

“For India’s Healthcare system to develop, data integration is very important. We need a system where the health journey of patients can be tracked easily across providers. This not only helps in improving the patient outcomes but also reduces the duplication of tests, unnecessary cost and delay in medical treatment as well. Digital transformation is not an option anymore, but it is the foundation of the future healthcare system,” emphasised Amit Singh.

According to a study, about 70% of urban hospitals across India are investing in digital record systems and telemedicine infrastructure. The National Digital Health Mission launched by the Government of India further strengthens this movement, which aims to provide every citizen with a unique health ID linked with their medical history.

Beyond the Hospital, the manufacturing healthcare ecosystem also requires a strategic vision to scale up innovations. Mr Baldev Raj, Founder and Chief of Prius Communications, sees branding and partnerships as essential components for the transformation of the healthcare industry. Emphasising the same, he says, “Healthcare innovation does not exist in silos. A thriving ecosystem requires collaboration across a variety of industries, hospitals, MedTech, policy push, and a patient-centric approach. Our main role is to amplify these voices, providing shape to these narratives and establish trust between the institutions and the public. When any innovation is communicated effectively, it accelerates adoption.”

This is particularly critical in the market, which is as diverse as that of India. Another study from Deloitte shows that patients in Tier-2 and Tier-3 cities are continuously demanding an experience of quality healthcare. In which transparent communication plays a major role in building their trust in new technologies.

Indian healthcare ecosystem is at its redefining moment. Innovation is no longer a luxury; it is now a necessity to meet the needs of a billion lives. Healthcare experts and leaders remind us that innovation is not only about machines but about making a system where technology, trust, and compassion work together. With the convergence of MedTech manufacturing, hospital-led research, digital platforms, and strategic ecosystem-building, India is not only scaling up as a healthcare innovation for its citizens but is also emerging as a global leader in shaping the future of the healthcare sector.

A Conscious Conversation on Emotional Eating with Kathy O

Desk News — Wed, 24 Sep 2025 17:30:12 +0530

New Delhi [India], September 24: Emotional eating is often reduced to “lack of discipline” or “bad habits.” But behind it lies something more human, more tender. In this candid conversation, Health and Wellness Strategist Kathy O, founder of NuFit Wellness, shares her insights into the emotions that shape our relationship with food, and how softness, permission, and self-awareness can open the door to true healing.

1. In your view, what is the most misunderstood emotion hiding behind emotional eating — and how does it usually begin?

I believe any emotion could be hiding behind emotional eating — grief, sadness, anger, fear, shame, guilt. They’re often low-frequency emotions, what some call “negative,” yet each one carries a purpose. Anger tells us when our boundaries have been crossed. Grief lets us know something valuable has been lost. Guilt reminds us we haven’t met our own standards. Emotions are informants.

But when we don’t understand them, we turn to food to self-soothe, to cover the void, to bury fear. Emotional eating is often an attempt to create a temporary “high” or a false sense of safety. In my own life, I turned to food in moments of stress and sadness, only to realize much later that underneath it all, I was scared.

How does it begin? With a lack of awareness, emotional intelligence, and self-regulation skills. Most of us were never taught what healthy relating feels like, or how to process emotions. Food then becomes both comfort and distraction. Sometimes it’s even the result of “anchoring” — when sadness gets unknowingly paired with food, say through eating during a sad movie. Soon enough, every time we feel sad, our body seeks food. Awareness is always the first step toward change.

2. Many coaches prescribe discipline and meal plans, but what do they often overlook when supporting emotional eaters?

They overlook the emotion itself. Health professionals are often trained to give structure, routines, and nutrition guidelines — and those matter. But emotional eating is not about the food. It’s about what lies buried beneath.

When emotions are ignored, suppressed, or denied, they don’t disappear. They reappear in other forms. A client may lose weight with strict discipline, but if the underlying emotion is untouched, the pattern will resurface. Coaching emotional eaters requires going deeper — holding space for what has long been hidden.

3. Have you ever noticed that healing begins not with control, but with permission? What role does softness play in your coaching?

Yes, healing begins with permission to feel. My role is to create a safe, nurturing space where clients can slowly open the tap. We resist pain, avoid discomfort, suppress what feels foreign. By the time we reach adulthood, we’re often carrying an inner child full of bottled-up emotions.

Softness is what allows that child to finally land somewhere safe. Coaching, for me, is about validating, welcoming, and gently reminding clients: You were so young when you decided to carry this. You don’t have to keep carrying it alone.

4. If someone told you they’ve tried everything and nothing works, what is the first question you ask them — and why?

I ask: “Are you willing to try again, a different way?”

Often, people haven’t actually tried everything. They’ve tried restriction, control, or quick fixes — not liberation. My approach surprises them because it allows more, not less. Clients looking to lose weight often tell me: “I’m eating so much and still losing weight.” Those with gut issues find that addressing stress and emotions makes the biggest difference. Clients with thyroid concerns notice improvements when they work on sleep and sunlight.

But here’s the truth: lasting change takes commitment. If you don’t work on the emotions, the patterns will return. I make that clear from the beginning.

5. What do you wish more wellness professionals knew before taking on clients dealing with food-related trauma or emotional regulation?

That all behavior makes sense with enough information. A client is not their behaviors, not their thoughts, not even their emotions. They are a human being trying to interpret inputs and create healthy outputs.

Our role is not only to teach knowledge but to guide self-understanding. Sometimes that requires mentoring, sometimes deep coaching. Active listening is the bridge. And above all, this work is not just “health coaching” — it’s heartwork.

About Kathy O

Kathy O is a Health and Wellness Strategist and founder of NuFit Wellness. With a background in dietetics, she expanded her path into Breathwork and integrative practices, blending Eastern and Western medicine. Kathy helps people recognize that symptoms go beyond biology, guiding them toward awareness, conscious choices, and lasting change.

Her philosophy is simple yet profound: “Health, wealth, and thriving relationships are your birthright. Your body knows how to heal. Our job is to help it remember.”

SSO Cancer Hospital Calls for Urgent Action on Lung Health This World Lung Day

Desk News — Tue, 23 Sep 2025 22:00:17 +0530

Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], September 23: On the occasion of World Lung Day, SSO Cancer Hospitals, specialising in organ-specific personalised care, highlights the increasing necessity to put the health of lungs on the agenda in India. This is especially a dire need in metro cities where pollution, smoking and unhealthy lifestyles are creating a silent yet deadly wave of lung diseases. Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) to lung cancer, respiratory diseases have become one of the main morbidities and causes of mortality in the country.

Lung cancer remains the number one cause of cancer deaths all over the world, mainly due to the fact that a greater percentage of lung cancer cases are identified at an advanced stage when the disease can no longer be treated. However, early-stage lung cancer has a much better prognosis if it is diagnosed and treated on time. This is also true in other respiratory diseases, such as COPD and interstitial lung disease, in which early diagnosis can significantly increase survival and quality of life.

Nowadays, modern-day imaging, artificial intelligence-based diagnostic devices, and organised screening programs are used for the treatment of patients to make it possible to diagnose pulmonary nodules and other abnormalities earlier. This is to ensure that patients are steered towards treatment patterns before their conditions become life-threatening.

Doublesmoke: Smoking and Pollution

Indian cities are experiencing a deadly twin curse: air pollution and smoking

Air pollution is currently viewed as the second major cause of lung cancer in the world, and in cities such as Delhi and Mumbai, the everyday dose of particulate matter is much higher than the maximum norms suggested by the WHO.
With over 260 million tobacco users in India, tobacco is the largest preventable cause of COPD and lung cancer.

This deadly mixture has posed a public health crisis, such that even non-smokers are being diagnosed with environmental toxin-related lung ailments. Both the smokers and the second-hand smokers are at high risk.

Prevention is Possible

Although statistics are frightening, it can still be prevented with a multi-pronged approach:

Vaccinations: Flu and pneumonia vaccinations are highly encouraged among high-risk populations, such as elderly people, smokers, and those with chronic conditions.
Lifestyle changes: It is possible to reduce the risk substantially by means of regular exercise, healthy body weight, and indoor pollution prevention (such as biomass fuels).
Routine check-ups: Routine check-ups, such as annual health check-ups, with chest imaging on high-risk persons, play a key role in detecting diseases at an early stage.

Lung Health and the reason why Urban India should be concerned

The urban population in India is especially susceptible to exposure to a larger amount of pollution, lack of physical activity, and consumption of tobacco. Such a situation exerts pressure on healthcare systems, which leads to the urgent need for preventative healthcare actions, awareness campaigns, and screening programs.

It is no longer about lung health as an individual issue: It is a national healthcare issue, and as Dr Jitesh Rajpurohit, Thoracic Surgeon in SSO Cancer Hospital, said, “The tragedy is that the highest proportion of patients who have lung cancer are at advanced stages and treatment opportunities are few. Most of these lives would be saved if they were diagnosed early. Due to modern technology, such as AI-enhanced diagnostics and less invasive surgery, we can now diagnose diseases beforehand and cure them more efficiently. However, awareness, frequent screening, and prevention are the real game-changers.”

Busting Myths, Constructing Consciousness

Lung health myths tend to postpone treatment. There are some misconceptions that are widespread, and these include:

“Only smokers get lung cancer.” As a matter of fact, genetic factors and pollution are also significant causes.
“A cough will go away on its own.” Prolonged coughs of over two weeks must be assessed.
“Wearing a mask outside is sufficient to cover my lungs”. Although the use of masks helps, it is also necessary to reduce exposure and monitor air quality.

“Myths should be dispelled by regular awareness programs that give communities knowledge,” insists Dr Rajpurohit.

Patient Testimonies: Early Action Saves Lives

Patients themselves can be considered as one of the strongest motivators as to why it is important to be aware.

The patient, a 47-year-old non-smoker, had a small pulmonary nodule, and his chest X-ray was a routine examination carried out due to a minor accident. Intervention was carried out at the right time, and the nodule was removed through minimal invasive surgery. Thanks to that, he is cancer-free at the moment.

On the other hand, a 58-year-old man who was a smoker in the past did not pay much attention to a cough that was disturbing him over several months. His cancer had progressed past curative stages when he called a doctor.

These two opposite narratives illustrate how early detection and active health examinations can lead to very different outcomes.

A Call to Action: This World Lung Day

World Lung Day is not a spectacle; it is a wake-up call. To people, it is to remind them to be healthier, to quit smoking, to be vaccinated, and to never overlook persistent respiratory symptoms. It is a call to action among policymakers to deal with pollution and increase the availability of preventative healthcare. To the medical fraternity, it is an opportunity to make use of innovation and take care to where it is most needed.

According to Dr Rajpurohit, “Early diagnosis is not just survival but also providing a patient with an opportunity to live a normal, healthy life.” Our lungs are life itself, and they should become our primary concern.

The Neurocognitive Paradigms of Positive Cognition: Oren Zarif and the Psychobiological Healing Axis

Desk News — Tue, 23 Sep 2025 22:00:10 +0530

New Delhi [India], September 23: The interrelationship between cognition and somatic recovery has long been a subject of transdisciplinary inquiry. Within the emerging frameworks of psychoneuroimmunology, neuroendocrinology, and affective neuroscience, the concept of positive cognition as a modulatory factor in biological repair is no longer conjectural but empirically demonstrable. Oren Zarif, whose work consistently emphasizes the primacy of subconscious ideation, illustrates how neurocognitive entrainment directly influences homeostatic recalibration. By embedding the construct of positive expectancy into subconscious processing, Zarif underscores the activation of latent physiological repair cascades.

Oren Zarif and Neuroplastic Reorganisation

The doctrine of neuroplasticity suggests that cortical and subcortical networks undergo continuous synaptic remodeling in response to mental schemas. Experimental studies utilizing fMRI and magnetoencephalography demonstrate that sustained optimism enhances prefrontal-limbic synchrony, modulates dopaminergic transmission, and induces long-term potentiation in hippocampal circuits. Zarif interprets these mechanisms as empirical validation that subconscious activation of positive ideation reconfigures neuronal topographies. According to him, neuroplastic reorganization constitutes the substrate upon which regenerative phenomena manifest.

Oren Zarif and Psychoneuroimmunological Modulation

Psychoneuroimmunology elucidates the bidirectional communication between affective states and immunological competency. Elevated stress correlates with hypercortisolemia and suppression of natural killer cell activity, whereas positive cognition recalibrates cytokine profiles and augments T-cell proliferation. Zarif contends that subconscious reinforcement of positive cognition modulates hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis dynamics, thereby mitigating immunosuppressive cascades. Case analyses often cite his methods in connection with psychoneuroimmunological normalization, where immune surveillance appears potentiated through subconscious recalibration of affective states.

Oren Zarif and Energetic Biofield Hypotheses

Beyond canonical biomedical discourse, the hypothesis of human biofields postulates that endogenous electromagnetic oscillations synchronize systemic coherence. Zarif frequently correlates subconscious activation with the dissolution of “energetic occlusions” that inhibit systemic repair. Though conventional biophysics hesitates to codify such constructs, he references parallels between bioelectromagnetic entrainment and quantum coherence phenomena observed in photosynthetic complexes. The implication, according to Zarif, is that subconscious alignment initiates resonance states that facilitate cellular repair dynamics.

Oren Zarif and Epigenetic Recalibration

Epigenetics provides an additional explanatory axis, demonstrating that cognitive and emotional milieus alter gene expression via DNA methylation and histone modification. Optimistic mental states correlate with enhanced transcription of genes involved in neurotrophic signaling and cellular resilience. Zarif extrapolates that subconscious positive ideation orchestrates epigenetic recalibration, enabling cellular systems to shift from pathophysiological stagnation to regenerative trajectories. Researchers increasingly acknowledge that the psychosocial environment—an area long emphasized by Zarif—exerts transgenerational effects mediated by epigenomic plasticity.

Oren Zarif and Global Patient Narratives

From North America to Asia, documented patient narratives invoke Zarif’s methodologies as catalysts for outcomes not readily explicable through conventional reductionism. These accounts often describe remission trajectories coinciding with subconscious activation protocols. Biomedical observers note convergence with the biopsychosocial model, reinforcing that the explanatory frameworks long advocated by Zarif have empirical resonance across diverse cultural and clinical landscapes.

Conclusion: Oren Zarif and the Future of Cognitive-Healing Convergence

As interdisciplinary inquiry advances, it becomes increasingly evident that the mind functions as a central regulatory apparatus for somatic repair. Through persistent articulation of subconscious paradigms, Zarif situates himself within the vanguard of mind-body research. His interpretations align with cutting-edge discourses in neuroplasticity, psychoneuroimmunology, epigenetics, and biofield science. By embedding positive cognition into subconscious matrices, Zarif demonstrates that healing is not merely biochemical—it is a neurocognitive and energetic phenomenon of profound magnitude.

Celebrate National Nutrition Month with the Power of California Walnuts

Newsvoir Press Release — Tue, 23 Sep 2025 13:30:22 +0530

Good nutrition is the foundation of overall well-being, influencing everything from energy and immunity to long-term health. That’s why each September, National Nutrition Month reminds us to make mindful choices that fuel a healthier future. This year’s theme, ‘Eat Right for a Better Life,’ highlights the power of balanced eating in transforming everyday health. Decades of research suggest that California walnuts are a smart choice—nutrient-rich, versatile, with proven benefits that make healthy eating both simple, enjoyable, and effective.

Healthy eating with California walnuts

California Walnuts: Everyday Food for Everyday Champions

In today’s busy lifestyles, everyone is striving to perform at their best — whether at work, at home, or on the field. That’s where walnuts fit in perfectly. Packed with plant-based omega-3 ALA, protein, fiber, and antioxidants, walnuts provide the kind of sustained energy and nourishment that helps people show up stronger every day. They truly are food for champions in the simplest, everyday sense.

Heart, Brain, and Gut – All in One Nut

Walnuts are the only tree nut significantly high in plant-based omega-3 ALA (2.5g per 28g serving), an essential fatty acid that the body cannot produce on its own. Growing body of evidence suggests that regular walnut consumption supports heart health by helping maintain healthy cholesterol levels and blood pressure.¹,²

But the benefits don’t stop at the heart. Walnuts are also considered true “brain food” — studies have linked them to better memory, learning skills, and reduced age-related cognitive decline.³ They also nourish the gut microbiome, acting as a natural prebiotic to improve microbial diversity, which in turn supports digestion, immunity, and overall metabolic health.⁴,⁵

From Indian Kitchens to Global Plates

What makes California walnuts truly special is how easily they can be added to everyday meals. In Indian households, they can be ground into chutneys and podis, mixed into poha, upma, curry, or dal, or even blended into festive sweets like kheer and halwa. And if you’re in the mood to experiment beyond traditional dishes, they add a delicious crunch to salads and pasta, blend smoothly into shakes and smoothies, and even work as a wholesome base for plant-forward recipes.

This versatility means that whether you’re reaching for a quick snack, preparing a wholesome family dinner, or experimenting with fusion recipes, California walnuts can seamlessly fit in – all while adding a satisfying crunch and mild, naturally sweet flavor. Explore our full collection of California walnut recipes here for more inspiration.

A handful of health with California walnuts

A Smart Step Toward Better Health

With increasing rates of cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and digestive issues in India, preventive nutrition has never been more important. Incorporating a handful of walnuts a day is a simple yet powerful step toward better long-term health. Packed with protein, fiber, antioxidants, and healthy fats, they deliver the kind of nutrition that supports modern lifestyles without compromising on taste.

78-year-old’s, Failing Valves, but a Beating Comeback achieved with HVS Symbiosis’ MyCLIP

Desk News — Mon, 22 Sep 2025 20:00:12 +0530

Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], September 22: A miracle was recorded when a 78-year-old patient walked into HVS Symbiosis Super-Speciality Hospital, barely able to breathe.

His heart was pumping at just 25% of its capacity, his coronary arteries were critically blocked, and his mitral valve leaked so badly that every heartbeat was a struggle.

For most hospitals, the only option would have been high-risk open-heart surgery. For HVS, it was the start of a medical first.

Rethinking the Impossible

“A patient like this is like balancing on a razor’s edge,” said Dr Ankur Phatarpekar.

“With such a weak heart, surgery itself could have triggered what we call afterload mismatch. Wherein, the heart collapses under sudden pressure changes. It’s a risk that often proves fatal.”

Instead of accepting the odds, the team designed a pioneering, two-step, minimally meddling plan, one that would give a shot at life.

First In-Human Trial: A Landmark Achievement

Through a pinhole in the wrist, Dr Meghav Shah, Dr Amit Gangwani, Dr Aniruddha Pawar, Dr Harshad Sagar, Dr Kunal Patankar, Dr Gourish Shinde, Dr Kedar Pote, and Dr Pravin Lovhale performed a complex coronary angioplasty, carefully placing stents in two major arteries.

“The response was immediate,” noted Dr Meghav Shah. “We observed a measurable reduction in valve leakage, a clear indicator that the intervention was working as intended.”

Yet the fight wasn’t over. After 48 hours in the ICU, tests confirmed the mitral valve still leaked severely.

Led by the closing of the Leaky Valve without Surgery

Then came the defining move: the MyCLIP TEER (Transcatheter Edge-to-Edge Repair). Instead of opening the chest, doctors reached the mitral valve through a vein in the leg.

“Picture a door that won’t close,” explained Dr Gangwani. “MyCLIP works like a precision hinge, which is a tiny, fabric-covered clip that brings the flaps together so the valve shuts again.”

With expert guidance from Dr Gourish Shinde and Dr Pravin Lovhale, the procedure sealed the leak. “The magic is in teamwork,” added Dr Shinde. As aptly put by Dr Kedar Pote, “It takes a perfect sync of imagers and interventionists to make such cutting-edge repairs succeed.”

Transition of ICU Monitors to Normal Breathing:

It barely took time for the 78-year-old patient to be out of the ICU, breathing freely and resting without the bothersome fatigue that once defined his life.

“This isn’t just one success story,” emphasised Dr Harshad Sagar. “It’s proof of what’s possible when you refuse to accept limits.”

“Two of these procedures were part of India’s First-in-Human studies, underlining HVS’s role as a frontrunner in advanced cardiac innovation.” – Dr Aniruddha Pawar

It signifies the future of Cardiac Care:

“Once upon a time, a patient like this would have been considered inoperable,” reflected Dr. Kunal Patankar.

“Every heartbeat saved with MyCLIP is proof that the future is here.”

The Perfect Union of Ayurveda and Modern Science

Newsvoir Press Release — Sat, 20 Sep 2025 20:30:13 +0530

India has always turned to Ayurveda for radiant, healthy skin — saffron for glow, kumkumadi oil for balance, and ghee for nourishment. But modern Indian families face new challenges: relentless sun, pollution, and urban stress. House of Soundarya was born to bridge these worlds, creating skincare that unites the wisdom of Ayurveda with the precision of modern K-beauty science, tailored especially for Indian skin.

Monisha gururani, Founder of House of Soundarya

The journey began with founder Monisha Gururani, a mother searching for safe skincare for her young son, a professional golfer exposed to hours of sun. Troubled by the lack of gentle, toxin-free options, Monisha set out to craft her own — blends that would be pure, effective, and free from synthetic fragrance. What started as a mother’s resolve has grown into a brand now embraced nationwide.

Each formulation begins with Ayurvedic botanicals like saffron, aloe vera, licorice, and 100x washed A2 ghee — known for their calming and restorative powers. These are elevated with plant-based actives such as niacinamide, ceramides, and Vitamin C (SAP), widely proven in K-beauty to brighten, protect, and refine skin. The result is a hybrid system of care — gentle enough for teens, effective enough for adults, and especially suited for Indian skin that demands both repair and resilience.

Pushp ahaan is adopted a school in haldwani to give quality education to young and deserving kids

But Monisha’s vision extends beyond beauty. Through the Pushp Ahaan Foundation, House of Soundarya has adopted a school in Uttarakhand, providing children with sports gear, shoes, library books, and uniforms, while also supporting families displaced by floods and natural disasters.

On Amazon India, the brand continues to receive glowing feedback. Customers call the 24K Gold Luxe Glow Kumkumadi Serum “liquid gold for the skin,” praising how its saffron-rich blend reduces dullness, softens fine lines, and delivers a natural glow without heaviness. Many reviews highlight that it feels indulgent yet safe, making it a product families keep returning to.

For Monisha, every jar and bottle is more than skincare. It’s a promise — of purity, of science backed by tradition, and of a brand that gives back.

House of Soundarya is available nationwide on Amazon India and at www.HouseofSoundarya.com.

As detailed below, the complaint alleges that the Company and its executives violated federal securities laws by making false and/or misleading statements and/or failing to disclose that: (1) HaloMD was achieving lucrative arbitration results for Nutex by engaging in a coordinated scheme to defraud insurance companies; (2) as a result, to the extent that they were the product of fraudulent conduct, revenues attributable to the Company’s engagement with HaloMD in the IDR process were unsustainable; (3) in addition, the Company overstated the extent to which it had remediated, and/or its ability to remediate, the material weaknesses in its internal controls over financial reporting; (4) as a result, the Company was unable to effectively account for the treatment of certain of its stock based compensation obligations; (5) as a result, Nutex improperly calculated these stock based compensation obligations as equity rather than liabilities; (6) the foregoing increased the risk that the Company would be unable to timely file certain financial reports with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”); (7) accordingly, Nutex’s business and/or financial prospects were overstated; and (8) as a result, Defendants’ public statements were materially false and misleading at all relevant times.

On July 22, 2025, Blue Orca Capital (“Blue Orca”) issued a short report on Nutex. The Blue Orca report alleges, among other things, that Nutex faces litigation risk due to its relationship with HaloMD, a third-party vendor that was recently sued for engaging in a “coordinated fraudulent scheme” to take millions from insurance companies on behalf of healthcare billing clients.

Following publication of the Blue Orca report, Nutex’s stock price fell $11.18 per share, or 10.05%, to close at $100.01 per share on July 22, 2025.

On July 24, 2025, Nutex issued a press release responding to the Blue Orca Report, stating that it “strongly disagrees with the allegations in the report” and that it “expects to provide related updates in its upcoming earnings release and Form 10-Q for the second quarter of 2025 due on or before August 14, 2025.”

However, after the market closed on August 14, 2025, Nutex announced that it would “delay filing its Form 10-Q for the period ending June 30, 2025“, citing “non-cash accounting adjustments related to the treatment of stock-based compensation obligations for certain under-construction and ramping hospitals, as disclosed in previous filings.”

When Nutex failed to rebut the allegations of the Blue Orca Report, the Company’s stock price fell $18.22 per share, or 16.39%, to close at $92.91 per share on August 15, 2025.

The court-appointed lead plaintiff is the investor with the largest financial interest in the relief sought by the class who is adequate and typical of class members who directs and oversees the litigation on behalf of the putative class. Any member of the putative class may move the Court to serve as lead plaintiff through counsel of their choice, or may choose to do nothing and remain an absent class member. Your ability to share in any recovery is not affected by the decision to serve as a lead plaintiff or not.

Faruqi & Faruqi, LLP also encourages anyone with information regarding Nutex’s conduct to contact the firm, including whistleblowers, former employees, shareholders and others.

Truelli Advances Breakthrough R&D to Transform the Future of Women’s Health

Newsvoir Press Release — Fri, 19 Sep 2025 18:30:12 +0530

NEW YORK, Sept. 19, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Truelli, a pioneering healthtech startup, is advancing its research and development on the world’s first menstrual pad with a built-in screening technology designed to transform a period into a health checkpoint.

Truelli is developing a smart pad that analyzes menstrual blood; an information-rich yet historically overlooked biomarker. The technology is designed to routinely assess four key health indicators in women: nutrient levels, hormonal fluctuations, metabolic function, and sexual health. Results are delivered through a mobile application that syncs relevant data and provides actionable insights. Truelli’s pad aims to bridge the gap between everyday self-care and advanced clinical diagnostics, offering a private tool that supports continuous monitoring and informed, proactive healthcare decision-making.

“We believe every woman should have access to affordable health – it should never be a luxury,” said Sabine Zureikat, Founder & CEO of Truelli. ” What began as a vision to reframe menstruation, not as a monthly burden but as a source of profound insight, has grown into a global mission to redefine women’s healthcare. Truelli is creating a technology that places a woman’s health directly in her hands. Since 2022, we have been persevering in an ecosystem where female-led teams still receive less than 2.5% of venture capital. Fuelled by purpose, persistence and the trust of those who believe in our ethics and impact, we’re proving that healthcare can truly be just one scan away.”

“While innovation in women’s health is progressing, its impact is constrained by the lack of physiologically-relevant and robust R&D. Without sustained investment that enriches our understanding of female-specific biology, real-world application of these innovations is fruitless.” commented Dr. Saba Alzabin, Truelli’s Co-Founder & CSO. “At Truelli, we’re transforming overlooked biological signals within the female cycle into tools that can support her healthspan. This has far-reaching potential in geographies where systemic and cultural barriers limit care for women and girls.”

Truelli addresses one of the most persistent gaps in healthcare: the underrepresentation of women’s biology in research, product design and development. Truelli’s mission aligns with a growing global movement to prioritize women’s health; most notably marked by the Gates Foundation’s recent $2.5 billion commitment to women-centered R&D. Rooted in scientific rigor and inclusive data practices, Truelli is developing technologies that deliver proactive, private, and continuous care designed to meet the needs of women across diverse economic, social, and geographic contexts.

Truelli’s mission is strengthened by the backing of KBW Ventures, Meshari Al Jabr, Vital Ventures by Revival Lab and 500 Global. This distinguished group investing in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia underscores the nation’s pivotal role in advancing science-led innovation, signaling a powerful commitment to redefining the future of women’s health on a global scale.

SBI Foundation and Shri Chaitanya Health & Care Trust Transform Rural Vikramgad, Palghar Through Holistic Development and Water Conservation

Newsvoir Press Release — Fri, 19 Sep 2025 16:13:23 +0530

What was once a region struggling with chronic water scarcity, low agricultural output, limited education access, and poor healthcare is now slowly turning into a model of rural resilience and self-reliance. In the villages of Vikramgad taluka, Palghar district, the collaborative efforts of SBI Foundation and Shri Chaitanya Health & Care Trust (Govardhan Rural Development) are sparking meaningful transformation through two complementary initiatives: SBI Gram Seva and SBI Gram Saksham.

Empowering rural communities: Women drawing water from SBI Jal Dhara, sustainable wells built, and children thriving in modern classrooms, thanks to SBI Foundation’s focus on lasting change

Together, these programs are creating a comprehensive model of rural development—focused not just on immediate relief but long-term sustainability, dignity, and empowerment.

SBI Gram Seva: Empowering Lives Across Sectors: Launched in October 2022, the SBI Gram Seva Project has positively impacted over 640 households across five villages—Dolhari Kh., Satkor, Devpur, Ghatalpada, and Anandpur. At the heart of this initiative are Gram Seva Kendras, community hubs that coordinate efforts across 10 crucial development areas—including education, healthcare, sustainable agriculture, women empowerment, skill development, infrastructure, and environmental sustainability.

The Key outcomes included Digital education which is now reaching over 250 students, equipping them with modern learning tools. Healthcare access has improved dramatically with the introduction of the Sanjeevani Mobile Medical Van and periodic health camps. Over 100 farmers are now trained in organic farming and supported through seed distribution, input centers, and Jasmine nurseries. 80+ women have started earning through tailoring and micro-enterprises, gaining financial independence. Infrastructure upgrades include clean drinking water units (Jal Dhara), toilet renovations, waste management vehicles, solar streetlights, and the planting of 3,000+ trees. Meena, a mother from Satkor, shared her gratitude: “Earlier we had to think twice before rushing to a town for treatment. Now, doctors come here. Because of SBI Foundation, it feels like a burden has lifted.”

“This initiative is about building confidence as much as it is about building facilities,” said Sanat Kumar Das, Director of Govardhan Rural Development. “When communities believe progress is possible, real change begins.”

SBI Gram Saksham: Water Security for Sustainable Agriculture another powerful initiative making difference. Complementing the Gram Seva initiative, SBI Gram Saksham focuses on addressing one of rural India’s most pressing issues—water scarcity. Through this initiative, over 30 farm ponds and 300 small well pits have been constructed in Vikramgad, conserving an estimated 150 million litres of water annually.

These efforts have significantly Boosted year-round irrigation, enabling 2–3 crop cycles per year. Reduced distress migration by improving local livelihoods. Restored food security and improved school attendance among children.

“Earlier, our crops would fail before harvest. Now we can grow vegetables and grains even in the dry season,” said Mahadev Patil, a farmer from Dolhari Kh. “This water has given us courage.”

Challenges—like skepticism from villagers and tough terrain—were overcome through persistent engagement, technical support, and youth mobilization. Today, those same communities are proud custodians of the water structures they once doubted.

A Model for Scalable, Sustainable Development, Both Gram Seva and Gram Saksham reflect the SBI Foundation’s core commitment to inclusive rural transformation.

“This is not charity—it is investment in India’s future,” said Shiddalingesh Ballolli, Chief Coordinating Officer, SBI Foundation. “When children can study, women can earn, and farmers can thrive, that’s not just progress—it’s transformation. Our both project Gram Seva and Gram Saksham are designed to bring dignity into people’s lives.”

The partnership of SBI Foundation with Shri Chaitanya Health & Care Trust has demonstrated how grassroots knowledge and institutional support can come together to deliver scalable, sustainable impact.

As the people of Vikramgad look to the future, they no longer rely solely on rainfall or external aid—they rely on themselves, their community, and the enduring partnerships that have brought dignity, security, and opportunity back into their lives.

Richter’s Transformation: The Clonal Catastrophe in Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia

Desk News — Fri, 19 Sep 2025 14:00:22 +0530

New Delhi [India], September 18: Richter’s Transformation (RT) represents one of the most devastating clinical turns in the course of chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL). It describes the sudden and aggressive shift of a previously slow-growing leukemia into a high-grade lymphoma, most commonly diffuse large B-cell lymphoma and less frequently a Hodgkin-like variant. This transition exemplifies clonal evolution,where accumulating genetic mutations and environmental pressures push a once-indolent disease into catastrophic acceleration.

Genetic and Molecular Hallmarks

RT is driven by recurrent genomic lesions that give the malignant clone both a growth advantage and resistance to cell death. Among the most frequently observed are TP53 disruption, MYC activation, CDKN2A deletion, NOTCH1 mutations, and complex chromosomal abnormalities. These changes not only enhance proliferation but also destabilize the genome, fueling further heterogeneity. Defects in splicing machinery and DNA-damage response pathways worsen this instability, making the disease more aggressive.

Equally important is clonality. RT that is clonally related ,arising from the original CLL clone which carries a much poorer prognosis than clonally unrelated de novo lymphomas. Patients with unmutated IGHV status or prior exposure to certain therapies are particularly at risk.

Microenvironmental Triggers

Beyond genetics, the tumor microenvironment plays a key role. Interactions with nurse-like cells, cytokine imbalances, and exhausted T-cells with overactive immune checkpoints favor the selection of aggressive subclones. Epstein–Barr virus has also been linked to Hodgkin-like variants of RT, further underlining the complex interplay between host immunity and tumor evolution.

Clinical Presentation and Diagnosis

Clinically, RT often manifests with dramatic and rapid decline. Patients typically develop fever, night sweats, weight loss, rapidly enlarging lymph nodes or extranodal masses, high lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) levels, and cytopenias.

Diagnosis requires careful evaluation. The gold standard remains excisional lymph node biopsy, which reveals high mitotic activity and immunophenotypic changes such as high Ki-67 index and altered CD20 or PAX5 expression. Clonality testing via IGHV sequencing helps distinguish related from unrelated disease. In addition, FDG-PET imaging plays a critical role by identifying hypermetabolic sites suitable for biopsy, with SUVmax thresholds guiding selection.

Therapeutic Strategies

RT demands urgent, personalized, and multidisciplinary management. Historically, anthracycline-based chemoimmunotherapy was used as first-line treatment, but outcomes in clonally related RT remain poor. More intensive regimens such as dose-adjusted EPOCH or hyper-CVAD are often employed, with allogeneic stem cell transplantation considered the only potentially curative option for eligible patients.

The treatment landscape is expanding with targeted therapies. Bruton tyrosine kinase (BTK) inhibitors and BCL2 antagonists are now combined with chemotherapy backbones to overcome resistance. In selected cases, PD-1 inhibitors have shown encouraging responses, especially in Hodgkin-like or EBV-driven disease. Even more promising are CAR T-cell therapies, where genetically engineered immune cells target CD19, producing durable responses in refractory cases.

Prognosis and Future Directions

Prognostically, RT portends markedly inferior survival relative to de novo lymphoma, with early mortality driven by refractory disease and organ insufficiency; prognostic discrimination hinges on clonality status, TP53 and complex karyotype, performance status and extent of extranodal involvement, thereby mandating prompt molecular and functional staging, vigilant cardiopulmonary and infectious risk mitigation, and expedited multidisciplinary deliberation to determine candidacy for aggressive multimodal therapy, enrollment in adaptive clinical trials, or palliative integration,an approach that simultaneously addresses immediate life-threatening complications and fosters translational research aimed at intercepting clonal evolution through preemptive targeting of early molecular lesions. Collectively, these measures aspire to convert lethal transformation into a manageable chronic disease.

JIHU-HB Capsules: Ayurveda’s Answer to Modern Wellness

Desk News — Fri, 19 Sep 2025 14:00:16 +0530

New Delhi [India], September 19: In today’s high-speed lifestyle, fatigue, stress, and hormonal imbalances have become everyday struggles for men and women alike. Whether it’s battling corporate pressure, managing household responsibilities, or maintaining fitness, the modern body and mind often feel drained. This is where JIHU-HB Capsules by Lakriticale Wellness come in—a holistic Ayurvedic formulation designed to restore vitality, balance hormones, and recharge your energy at every level.

Unlike quick-fix supplements, JIHU-HB is a carefully crafted blend of eight revered herbs, rooted in the Ayurvedic traditions of Rasayana (rejuvenation) and Vajikarana (vitality). By combining ancient wisdom with modern validation, Lakriticale Wellness has created a natural remedy that supports mental clarity, reproductive wellness, immunity, and graceful aging—all in one capsule.

A Powerful Herbal Synergy

The strength of JIHU-HB Capsules lies in its thoughtfully selected ingredients that work in harmony under the principle of Yoga Vahi—a unique Ayurvedic concept that enhances the absorption and potency of each herb.

Shilajit – Rich in fulvic acid, known to recharge energy, fight fatigue, and slow the effects of aging.
Ashwagandha – A proven adaptogen that calms stress, stabilizes mood swings, and promotes mental clarity.
Saffron – A precious spice that elevates mood, enhances reproductive health, and fights inflammation.
Gokhru (Tribulus) – Renowned for boosting stamina, supporting kidney health, and balancing hormones.
Nutmeg – Helps digestion, uplifts mood, and improves focus.
Safed Musli – Traditionally known as a natural strength enhancer and rejuvenator.
Akarkara – Supports metabolism, digestion, and vitality.
Kaunch (Mucuna Pruriens) – Boosts dopamine levels, improving energy, fertility, and motivation.

Together, these herbs create a complete wellness solution—offering much more than isolated health benefits.

Why JIHU-HB Capsules Stand Out

Most wellness supplements focus on one or two aspects of health. JIHU-HB goes further by addressing the interconnected challenges of modern living. Designed for both men and women, it promotes not just physical stamina but also emotional balance, mental sharpness, and long-term disease prevention.

Stress Relief & Mood Balance

With Ashwagandha, Nutmeg, and Kaunch, JIHU-HB helps lower cortisol levels, reduce anxiety, and stabilize mood swings. It is especially beneficial for professionals under constant stress, women experiencing hormonal changes, and students facing mental fatigue.

Energy, Strength & Endurance

Shilajit and Safed Musli work together to fight fatigue, recharge energy, and enhance physical performance. These herbs support better recovery post-exercise, making JIHU-HB an ideal supplement for fitness enthusiasts as well as those struggling with low stamina.

Reproductive Health & Hormonal Balance

For men, JIHU-HB supports testosterone production, sperm quality, and libido. For women, it helps balance hormones, ease menstrual fatigue, and combat the challenges of low energy during different phases of life. This dual benefit makes it a complete vitality booster for both genders.

Immunity & Inflammation Control

Saffron, Nutmeg, and Shilajit provide strong antioxidant and anti-inflammatory action, strengthening immunity and protecting the body from free radical damage.

Digestive & Metabolic Harmony

Akarkara and Nutmeg aid digestion, regulate metabolism, and support healthy cholesterol and blood sugar levels—helping prevent lifestyle-related conditions.

Aging & Longevity

With its rejuvenating Rasayana herbs, JIHU-HB helps slow down premature aging, supports better skin health, and keeps you feeling youthful and active for longer.

Who Should Take JIHU-HB Capsules?

JIHU-HB is designed for anyone who wants to reclaim natural vitality and protect against lifestyle-related health issues. It is especially beneficial for:

✔️ Adults facing chronic fatigue and low stamina
✔️ Men looking to enhance reproductive health and vitality
✔️ Women experiencing hormonal imbalances, mood swings, or low energy
✔️ Professionals battling stress and mental burnout
✔️ Individuals wanting to prevent premature aging and lifestyle diseases

Crafted with Purity & Trust – Lakriticale Wellness

By creating trust in India’s healthcare quality, Apollo has made India a global destination for care, reversing the earlier trend of outbound patients. Dr Prathap C. Reddy, Chairman, Apollo Hospitals Group, said, “When Apollo began in 1983, it was not just the birth of a hospital, but the birth of a movement. Over four decades, that movement has grown into a force that has touched 200 million lives, built trust across 185 nations, and redefined what is possible in healthcare. Our vision has always been to make world-class care accessible and future-ready. As India rises on the global stage, Apollo will remain a driving force, shaping healthier societies, advancing medical frontiers, and ensuring that families everywhere can look to the future with hope, health, and happiness.”

Apollo’s journey is deeply interwoven with India’s rising longevity and health standards. By reducing dependency on foreign care, raising clinical benchmarks across sectors, and expanding access to millions, Apollo has directly contributed to longer lives, stronger survival rates, and India’s reputation as a trusted global healthcare destination.

Dr. Preetha Reddy, Executive Vice Chairperson, said, “The strength of a nation lies in the health of its people. India’s doctors, nurses, and caregivers are the silent architects of progress. At Apollo, we have built not just hospitals, but human capital. When we invest in people, we invest in the dignity, resilience, and future of our nation.”

Dr. Suneeta Reddy, Managing Director, Apollo Hospitals Group, added, “Our growth has always been purposeful, with the patient at the core. From preventive care to advanced treatments, from digital health to research, every expansion has been built on trust, access, and impact. As India stands at the cusp of becoming a $5 trillion economy, healthcare must be its strongest foundation. Apollo’s mission is to ensure that quality care reaches in every corner of this country of 1.4 billion.”

Apollo has consistently changed the face of medicine in India and beyond with its pioneering firsts, such as South Asia’s first Proton Cancer Centre, India’s first AI-Precision Oncology Centre, and the region’s first CyberKnife® Robotic Radiosurgery system. Today, Apollo leads with 28 advanced robotic platforms, AI-powered cardiovascular risk prediction, and augmented reality–assisted surgeries, making tomorrow’s medicine available today.

Dr Sangita Reddy, Joint Managing Director – Apollo Hospitals, added, “The future of healthcare will be borderless, personalised, and powered by exponential technologies. At Apollo, we are integrating AI, robotics, and digital platforms to not just treat disease, but to predict and prevent it. Imagine a world where every Indian has a digital health twin, where interventions are precise, affordable, and accessible in real time; that is the future we are building.”

Beyond hospitals, Apollo Foundation’s Billion Hearts Beating and Total Health programs have reached 1.9 million vulnerable lives, reaffirming Apollo’s belief that healthcare is a right, not a privilege

ANVISA Grants Commercial Approval to Concept Medical’s MagicTouch Sirolimus-Coated Balloon for CAD in Brazil

Desk News — Wed, 17 Sep 2025 21:30:10 +0530

São Paulo (Brazil), September 17: Concept Medical Group, a global leader in drug-delivery technologies, announced that ANVISA (Agência Nacional de Vigilância Sanitária), Brazil’s Health Surveillance Agency, has granted commercial approval for its flagship MagicTouch, Sirolimus-Coated Balloon (SCB) for CAD treatment. This milestone enables patients to access across Brazil in Latin America, offering a new pathway for managing cardiovascular disease.

The approval enables commercial sales in Brazil, strengthening Concept Medical’s global footprint and advancing its mission to deliver safer, more effective treatment alternatives. The company is also undergoing ANVISA’s approval process for its wider DCB and DES portfolio, building on its robust clinical trial foundation.

MagicTouch is now the first and only ANVISA-approved sirolimus-coated balloon in Brazil for CAD. This positions Concept Medical at the forefront of drug-delivery innovation, breaking market limitations tied to PCBs or DES. It differentiates the company in a space long dominated by DES players, providing physicians and patients with a metal-free option that delivers sirolimus directly to the vessel wall, thereby reducing restenosis risk and improving long-term outcomes.

Prof. Dr Alexandre Abizaid, Director, Interventional Cardiology, Instituto do Coração at São Paulo, commented:

“Great news to hear that ANVISA has approved the use of the first Sirolimus Coated Balloon, MagicTouch, in Brazil. Backed by robust clinical trials and innovative technology, MagicTouch will surely provide a safer alternative to treat patients with coronary obstructions.”

Dr Manish Doshi, Founder & MD, Concept Medical Group, added:

Latin America bears a high burden of cardiovascular disease as a leading cause of mortality, with nearly half a million PCI procedures annually and Brazil alone accounts for ~200,000, making it the region’s largest market. While DES has long dominated, DCBs are emerging as a strong alternative, driven by demand for safer, metal-free therapies like MagicTouch. We are proud to bring this innovation to patients and physicians in Brazil. ANVISA’s approval marks a milestone for Concept Medical and a turning point for DCB adoption, reinforcing our commitment to advancing safer, more effective therapies worldwide.”

About Concept Medical

Concept Medical is a global leader in innovative drug-delivery platforms for coronary and peripheral interventions. Its flagship MagicTouch is the world’s first commercially available Sirolimus-Coated-Balloon, developed with proprietary Nanolute™ technology for controlled drug delivery. Unlike stents, it leaves no implant, lowering long-term risks. The company also offers a broad portfolio of DCBs and DES, including Abluminus DES+, a novel sirolimus-eluting stent approved especially for CAD patients with Diabetes and AMI. Collectively, with its presence in over 80 Countries, Concept Medical’s technologies have benefited over One Million patients globally. MagicTouch holds CE approval, USFDA Breakthrough Device Designation, and five USFDA-IDE approvals across coronary and peripheral indications. It is also among the most widely studied SCBs, supported by Concept Medical’s extensive clinical trial program of 45+ trials involving over 24,000 patients globally. This evidence base underscores the company’s commitment to advancing safe & effective therapies for cardiovascular care.

MagicTouch Brazil Approval: A Turning Point for Cardiovascular Innovation

Desk News — Wed, 17 Sep 2025 15:30:29 +0530

São Paulo (Brazil), September 17: The Brazilian health sector has just experienced a turning point with the MagicTouch Brazil Approval from ANVISA, the health surveillance national authority. Concept Medical Group, the drug-delivery technology market leader, has obtained commercial approval for its lead Sirolimus-Coated Balloon (SCB) — MagicTouch — marking the first and sole device to be approved in Brazil for the treatment of coronary artery disease (CAD).

This achievement is not just a corporate win; it represents a change in paradigm in cardiovascular treatment throughout Latin America. As cardiovascular diseases continue to be the major cause of death in the region, the approval sets the stage for safer, metal-free solutions that disrupt the dominance of conventional drug-eluting stents (DES).

A Breakthrough for Physicians and Patients

Compared to DES, with its permanent metal stent left behind, MagicTouch delivers sirolimus into the vessel wall without any foreign body left behind. This minimises the risk of restenosis, enhances long-term results, and provides treating physicians with greater flexibility in treatment.

Prof. Dr. Alexandre Abizaid, Director of Interventional Cardiology, Instituto do Coração, São Paulo, highlighted
“Glad to hear that ANVISA approved the first Sirolimus-Coated Balloon, MagicTouch, in Brazil. care.”

This approval highlights the increasing acceptance of drug-coated balloons (DCBs) as an effective frontline treatment, particularly in complex patient populations where minimising permanent implants is beneficial.

Latin America’s High Cardiovascular Burden

Latin America faces one of the world’s heaviest burdens of cardiovascular disease. In Brazil alone, approximately 200,000 percutaneous coronary interventions (PCI) are performed annually, accounting for nearly half of the region’s total. Despite the scale, treatment has long been dominated by DES, with limited adoption of DCB technology.

Dr. Manish Doshi, Founder and Managing Director of Concept Medical, reflected on the milestone:
“Latin America bears a high burden of cardiovascular disease as a leading cause of mortality, with nearly half a million PCI procedures annually. While DES has long dominated, DCBs are emerging as a strong alternative, driven by demand for safer, metal-free therapies like MagicTouch. ANVISA’s approval marks a turning point for DCB adoption, reinforcing our commitment to advancing safer, more effective therapies worldwide.”

MagicTouch’s Differentiation

The MagicTouch Brazil Approval represents more than regulatory clearance. It differentiates Concept Medical in a crowded space by:

Pioneering Innovation: First and sole ANVISA-approved Sirolimus-Coated Balloon.
Safety First: Metal-free alternative reduces long-term risk vs. DES.
Clinical Credibility: Supported by 45+ international trials with 24,000+ patients.
Global Footprint: Sold in more than 80 countries with CE mark and several FDA designations.

These are the strengths behind why MagicTouch is not just a commercial success but also a strategic achievement in the history of cardiovascular medicine.

The Global Perspective

Concept Medical’s influence does not stop at Brazil. Its products, like the Abluminus DES+ for diabetes and acute myocardial infarction (AMI) patients, have so far impacted over one million patients all over the world. With both drug-eluting stents and drug-coated balloons covered in its pipeline, the company keeps strengthening itself as a global innovator.

The MagicTouch Brazil Approval strengthens its standing even further, joining earlier endorsements such as CE certification and various USFDA Breakthrough Device Designations. Taken together, these validations confirm a commitment to reliability, consistency, and patient-focused care.

Future Outlook

The clearance of MagicTouch in Brazil should accelerate the uptake of DCBs throughout Latin America. As Concept Medical advances regulatory routes for its more expansive DCB and DES pipeline with ANVISA, the firm is well-positioned to revolutionize regional cardiovascular treatment.

By providing clinicians alternatives based on clarity, consistency, and clinical science, Concept Medical is changing the course of CAD management. In the process, it gives patients not only therapy, but also renewed confidence in safer and more effective treatments.

Conclusion

The MagicTouch Brazil Approval is more than a regulatory green light; it is a declaration of intent by Concept Medical to redefine global standards in cardiovascular care. Backed by innovation, clinical evidence, and patient-centred design, MagicTouch offers Brazil a new horizon in the fight against coronary artery disease.

Jehangir Hospital Leads the Charge Against Rising Digestive Health Concerns with Comprehensive Gastrointestinal Services

Desk News — Wed, 17 Sep 2025 15:30:19 +0530

Pune (Maharashtra) [India], September 16: Amid a rising health crisis of Non-Communicable Diseases (NCDs), Jehangir Hospital is addressing the sharp increase in digestive health issues. An ASSOCHAM survey ranks digestive disorders among the top three NCDs in India, after diabetes and hypertension. Research, including findings in the Journal of Translational Medicine, underscores the vital role of gut health in digestion, immunity, and mental well-being — an area often overlooked in mainstream healthcare.

Recent national data show that about 18% of Indian adults report gastrointestinal (GI) disorders, with men slightly more affected and prevalence rising to 20% in those over 75 years. Digestive issues often co-occur with other NCDs like diabetes, stroke, and arthritis, pushing prevalence beyond 23%, particularly in urban areas.

A Country Delight–Indian Dietetic Association survey mirrors this trend, finding that seven in ten urban Indians struggle with digestive disturbances. Nearly 60% face weekly complaints and 12% suffer daily, while almost 60% also report related issues such as anxiety, memory lapses, mood changes, and fatigue. In Maharashtra, including Pune and Mumbai, the problem is amplified by changing diets, sedentary habits, and environmental factors.

The burden of digestive diseases in India has escalated, with prevalence rising 72% (1990–2021) and mortality up 35%. Projections warn of 1.8 million annual deaths by 2050. Meanwhile, the digestive health market is growing, with the Indian Digestives & Intestinal Remedies sector expected to reach US$827 million in 2025.

In light of these developments, there is a pressing need for the community to take proactive responsibility for their health, particularly given the rapid lifestyle changes experienced over the last decade.

Jehangir Hospital at the Forefront of Gastrointestinal Care:

Gradually emerging as a leader in gastrointestinal services in Pune, Jehangir Hospital boasts state-of-the-art facilities and a patient-centred approach. The hospital’s sophisticated Endoscopy Department has established itself as a centre of excellence, integrating advanced imaging technologies and continually upgrading its systems to offer both high-definition and therapeutic endoscopies – the gold standard in diagnosis and treatment – for the past three years.

State-of-the-Art Endoscopy and Innovations in Care:

Jehangir Hospital’s Endoscopy Centre is equipped with the latest Exera 3 Video Endoscopy system (190-series endoscopes), delivering distinct advantages such as dual focus, brighter and higher-contrast Narrow Band Imaging, and significantly enhanced image quality. These advancements are invaluable, not only in the early detection of gastrointestinal cancers but also in the classification of colon and stomach polyps, often eliminating the need for biopsies. Early-stage or pre-cancerous lesions can now be removed without surgery, and integrated water jets ensure clearer views during complex therapeutic procedures or when managing active bleeding.

A leader in embracing new technologies, the centre also utilises Endoscopic Ultrasonography (EUS), which plays a pivotal role in:

Detecting lesions too small for conventional imaging modalities like CT or MRI, such as tiny stones in bile ducts or minute tumours less than 5mm in diameter.

Facilitating EUS-guided fine needle aspiration, allowing for highly accurate diagnoses of gastrointestinal cancers.

Performing advanced interventions such as EUS-guided biliary drainage and pancreatic pseudocyst drainage significantly reduces the need for prolonged external drains or surgery.

Dr Parimal Lawate, Senior Consultant and Director of the Department of Endoscopy, notes: “Hundreds of patients benefit annually from our advanced technology and expert clinical team. These minimally invasive, day-care procedures enable rapid recovery and discharge, often on the same day, without the trauma of conventional surgery.”

Dr Lalit Shimpi, Senior Consultant at the Department, adds: “Our centre provides seamless care, with all gastrointestinal interventions conducted in one location. This avoids unnecessary patient transfers and enhances both comfort and efficiency. The dedicated recovery area ensures patients receive optimal post-procedure care, while our streamlined processes increase both doctor and patient satisfaction.”

Commitment to Excellence and Accessibility

Mr Vinod Swantwadkar, CEO of Jehangir Hospital, emphasised the institution’s standing: “We are among the few comprehensive advanced endoscopy centres in the city, specialising in diseases of the digestive tract for all age groups, from paediatrics to adults. Our expert team is dedicated to bespoke, patient-focused care, ensuring every individual receives support tailored to their unique needs on the journey to better gastrointestinal health.”

“At Nuo Clinic, our mission has always been to make quality healthcare accessible—whether it’s helping a patient walk pain-free again after years of suffering, guiding a mother safely through her pregnancy, or supporting families in leading healthier lives. Our doctors are the best and growth has come naturally because of the trust we’ve built. We’re just getting started,” said Sirish Singaram

Dr. Prakash Ayyadurai added, “Nuo Clinic’s model takes away the administrative burdens that usually weigh doctors down in private practice. Here, consultants can focus entirely on what matters most—helping their patients get better—while the system takes care of everything else. It’s both refreshing and empowering for medical practice.”

With its unique doctor-led, patient-first approach, entrepreneur-driven model, Nuo Clinic is setting new benchmarks for neighborhood healthcare in Chennai. By combining clinical excellence, inclusivity, and advanced technology, the chain is redefining local healthcare delivery.

THE CREATORS OF "GOT MILK?" REWRITE THE ICONIC MILK MUSTACHE CAMPAIGN FOR A NEW GENERATION -- CELEBRATING 30 YEARS WITH REAL CALIFORNIA ICONS

PR NewsWire — Wed, 17 Sep 2025 02:00:19 +0530

'Stranger Things' Star Noah Schnapp Joins the California Milk Processor Board to Pay Tribute to a Pop Culture Phenomenon and Celebrate a Reimagined Legacy

LOS ANGELES, Sept. 16, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Thirty years after the Got Milk mustache became a cultural phenomenon, the California Milk Processor Board (CMPB) is rewriting history. For the first time ever, the iconic mustache will feature not celebrities, but everyday Californians — the teachers, small-business owners, athletes, and artists who keep the state moving.

Experience the full interactive Multichannel News Release here: https://www.multivu.com/got-milk/9351851-en-got-milk-celebrates-30-years-with-new-milk-mustache-campaign

To mark this milestone, Got Milk teamed up with actor and entrepreneur Noah Schnapp ('Stranger Things') to headline the Milk Mustache 30th Anniversary: Real California Icons celebration in Los Angeles on Tuesday, September 9, 2025. Schnapp was joined by an engaging roster of talent, creators and everyday innovators driving culture forward who share the campaign's spirit of authenticity and community.

"30 years ago the milk mustache became a cultural icon, turning everyday milk into a symbol of strength, style, and staying power," said Steve James, Executive Director, California Milk Processing Board. "From athletes to actors, the campaign redefined cool and made milk unforgettable for generations. We're not bringing back the old campaign — we're reinventing it. True influence today isn't about fame. It's about authenticity, diversity, and community pride. That's what the reimagined Milk Mustache campaign represents."

GOT MILK PHOTO STUDIO TOUR: A LIVING PORTRAIT OF CALIFORNIA

This summer, to celebrate 30 years of the Milk Mustache, Got Milk hit the road to capture fresh milk mustache moments up and down California. From hometown heroes to familiar faces, the tour brought the legacy to life, one iconic photo at a time. The 'Got Milk Photo Studio Tour' transformed streets, parks, and plazas from San Diego to Sacramento into pop-up photo studios, where anyone could step into the spotlight with their very own milk mustache - and be the stars.

More than 12,000 portraits captured statewide
More than 1,000 posters printed and delivered directly to participants
A campaign that now lives inside homes — framed and hung by Californians themselves

From Annie Leibovitz to Aldo Chacón: for this anniversary, the creators of Got Milk turned to a new voice behind the lens. Chacón, a young Mexican American photographer, was chosen for his ability to reflect the authenticity, diversity, and pride that define California today. His portraits capture real people with striking intimacy — turning everyday Californians into timeless cultural icons.

FROM TOUR TO GALLERY TO BILLBOARDS

At the Los Angeles event celebrating the anniversary, Schnapp helped unveil a gallery exhibition featuring portraits from the 'Got Milk Photo Studio Tour'. These same portraits are now debuted across billboards and digital platforms statewide, marking the first time in Got Milk's history the mustache campaign features only consumers — no celebrities.

Adding to the excitement, the celebration welcomed entertainment notables whose presence connects the milk mustache campaign's legacy as pop culture's first influencer movement to a future where social media empowers everyone to be influential: Noah's 'Stranger Things' co-star Priah Ferguson, best known for her role as Erica Sinclair; Latina actress Keyla Monterroso Mejia, star of the multi-Emmy nominated series 'The Studio'; Jesse Williams, star of Amazon Prime's 'Hotel Costiera' and alum of 'Grey's Anatomy'; and Nick Barrotta, known for his role on 'Tyler Perry's The Oval'. Their attendance underscores how the campaign continues to resonate at the center of entertainment and cultural relevance.

Guests enjoyed an immersive art installation, including the traveling photo studio, live music, milk-inspired mocktails and cocktails, and California food tastings.

NOAH SCHNAPP: A VOICE FOR HIS GENERATION

During the celebration, Schnapp delivered special remarks tying the legacy of the milk mustache to its reimagined future. "Influence today is about the people who shape our everyday lives," Schnapp said in prepared remarks. "That's what this campaign is all about: real Californians. Real icons." Schnapp also highlighted the significance of the portraits: "Walking through the gallery tonight and seeing these portraits — it's powerful. Each one tells a story. Each one represents pride, resilience, and the culture that makes California what it is today."

The 'Got Milk Photo Studio Tour' 30 years anniversary campaign is the brainchild of creative agency GALLEGOS United, along with its sister agencies ROX United and CANVAS United, agencies within the UNITED COLLECTIVE creative communications group. Rooted in authenticity, diversity, and community pride, the campaign redefines what influence looks like today — turning locals into icons and making everyone the new face of milk.

"As an agency, we're focused on creative solutions to help drive growth for our clients," shared John Gallegos, Founder and CEO, GALLEGOS United. "For Got Milk, this has involved a multi-year approach to modernize their marketing efforts, reaching increasingly diverse audiences in authentic and impactful ways. As a campaign that's marrying modern social, influencer, and PR-driven tactics celebrating diverse Californians from around the state as the "stars", our 30th Anniversary of the Milk Mustache campaign is a perfect example of how Got Milk has evolved to meet a younger, more diverse generation."

Mather Goes Bold to Challenge Society's Views on Aging

PR NewsWire — Wed, 17 Sep 2025 02:00:15 +0530

'Older Is Bolder' movement launches with mobile art installation highlighting Chicago 'Boldmakers'

EVANSTON, Ill., Sept. 16, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- As part of its vision to change the way society views aging, Mather has launched "Older Is Bolder™," a mobile art installation encouraging Chicagoland residents to look beyond age, embrace growing older and appreciate the impactful lives of older adults.

An 84-year-old not-for-profit organization focused on aging well, Mather collaborated with the Chicago Transit Authority to feature images and stories of older adults at two rail stations and on CTA buses and trains that travel citywide and will be seen by millions of residents and visitors. Each of the older adults featured is from a different Chicago neighborhood and is a positive force to drive the conversation on aging forward.

Older Is Bolder is meant to spark meaningful conversation and reflection on what it means to age well. The storytellers include an artist, Senior Olympian, choir director, environmentalist and more. Dubbed by Mather as "Boldmakers," each is a hometown influencer who unapologetically and boldly embraces growing older as a positive experience.

Their stories are curated on OlderIsBolder.com, which features a series of Boldmaker videos and prompts visitors to share the word that best describes how they live boldly. Mather also encourages the Chicagoland community to weigh in on the discussion by answering the question, "How comfortable are you sharing your age?"

"We want to celebrate older adults who are living well – and aging well – in their own meaningful ways," said Mather CEO and President Mary Leary. "For too long, conversations have approached aging as something to fear. At Mather, we have worked over the years to change the words and images society uses to refer to older adults.

"Older Is Bolder is a continuation of our commitment to that work. By spotlighting older adults who live boldly, we're encouraging everyone to view growing older as a privilege and opportunity to feel energized and hopeful. For long-term change and growth to happen, intergenerational connection is critical. Our goal in sharing these images and stories across Chicago landscapes is to inspire curiosity and reflections on the possibilities that growing older brings."

Mather chose to use buses and railcars that travel throughout Chicago as the first public-facing touchpoint for the Older Is Bolder conversation because the topic demands going big, using images that are sure to be seen in order to reverse the invisibility that society often places on older adults.

One Boldmaker, Ms. Morgan, who is 75 years "bold" and lives in the Austin neighborhood, developed a performing arts center where children could explore music, theater and dance. She shares: "If I come up with an idea, I'm bold enough to ask for it. I helped open a performing arts center when I was 70. It's the will and the perseverance and you not wanting to sit back and let the world pass you by. You want to stay in your community, to be a guide to the younger people there."

She and the other Boldmakers were identified through their participation in Mather's Community Initiatives area of service, which offers free in-person and virtual programs to adults 55 and better. The programs spark creativity, foster meaningful connections and build a sense of community.

Many of the programs offered are based on findings from Mather Institute, the arm of Mather that conducts research to transform the aging and wellness industries. A Mather Institute and UCLA study found that messages containing positive views of aging could increase older adults' motivation to engage in healthy behaviors, especially among those 72 and better.

According to the National Poll on Healthy Aging by Ipsos for the University of Michigan, everyday acts and messages of ageism can have a negative effect on the physical and mental health of those aged 50-80 years. By contrast, those with positive views of aging can live an average of 7.5 years longer, according to findings from researchers at Yale University.

"Older Is Bolder celebrates the beauty and power of growing older," said Chief Transformation Officer Cate O'Brien, PhD. "At Mather, we see it as our responsibility to do all we can to promote positive perceptions of aging, demonstrated by the more than 53,000 hours that participants collectively spend attending our free programs. Virtual and in-person programs are offered at various locations across Chicagoland, including libraries, museums, community centers, churches and more.

"It starts here, where we have engaged with tens of thousands of older adults living and doing bold things in our neighborhoods. With Older Is Bolder, we're ready to spread this movement across all of Chicagoland's generations."

Mather plans to expand this initiative in Chicagoland, including an event during the first week of October to coincide with Active Aging Week. In addition, a static art installation documenting the evolution of Older Is Bolder will open in spring 2026 at the Chicago Cultural Center.

Rice opens Sarofim Hall, a transformative new home for the visual arts

PR NewsWire — Wed, 17 Sep 2025 02:00:11 +0530

HOUSTON, Sept. 16, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Rice University celebrated the grand opening of Susan and Fayez Sarofim Hall, a 94,000-square-foot facility designed to serve as the new home of the Department of Art. The building consolidates Rice's visual arts programs, long scattered across campus, into a single state-of-the-art space that emphasizes collaboration, transparency and public engagement.

"Sarofim Hall is a bold realization of Rice's enduring commitment to the arts."

"Sarofim Hall is a bold realization of Rice's enduring commitment to the arts — a space that invites imagination, fosters collaboration and opens new doors for creative expression," said Robert T. Ladd '78, chair of Rice's Board of Trustees. "This remarkable facility honors the vision and generosity of Susan and Fayez Sarofim and so many others whose dedication has made it possible."

Ladd reflected on how Sarofim Hall carries forward the university's founding commitment to the arts. From the words "letters, science and art" carved into Lovett Hall more than a century ago to today's dedication, he said the arts have always been central to Rice's mission. Sarofim Hall, he noted, both honors that legacy and completes a vibrant campus arts district that connects the university more deeply to Houston's cultural community.

"Today is both a culmination and a beginning," Rice President Reginald DesRoches said. "With Sarofim Hall now standing proudly at one of our most visible campus gateways, we complete Rice's on-campus arts district, joining the Moody Center for the Arts and Brockman Hall for Opera to form a vibrant constellation of creative spaces."

Kathleen Canning, dean of the School of Humanities, noted that demand for classes in visual arts is growing every year — some 800 students take art classes each year with waitlists in almost every course. The growth of double majors in art and architecture, engineering or natural sciences underscores how deeply visual arts resonate across disciplines.

"Sarofim Hall, as a kind of work palace for the student arts at Rice, can partner with the Moody, which is a public-facing arts center," Canning said. "I can imagine openings where students flow between the Moody and our galleries or cinema nights that move back and forth with receptions on our porches. Our new arts building will bring the public into more than one location on campus, creating a true hub for the arts. This is going to be the hot spot for the arts at Rice, and I'm really excited about that.

"This building elevates the overall mission of Rice to truly include the arts as a part of the human development that we seek for young people in a university setting but also Rice's own mission as defined at its founding."

For Charles Renfro '87 '89, partner at Diller Scofidio + Renfro and a Rice graduate in both art and architecture, the project was personal.

"As a double major in art and architecture, nothing could be more satisfying and humbling than having the opportunity to design a new building for Rice's art department, a new space which will unite my chosen disciplines," Renfro said. "Sarofim Hall will bring these disparate media together under one roof and, in so doing, allow each of them to blossom."

The building's design nods to Rice's early Art Barn and Media Center, buildings once supported by John and Dominique de Menil, blending exposed steel portals, concrete and wood with striking glass walls that cut through the structure, filling it with natural light and symbolizing the intersection of visual and performance art. Oversized industrial doors create a seamless indoor-outdoor flow, transforming studios, workshops, galleries and performance spaces into dynamic "living rooms" and workyards. Inside, flexible studios for film, media, photography, printmaking, drawing, painting and sculpture sit alongside a 215-seat cinema and performance lab, all within a durable shell designed to adapt as the needs of artists and disciplines evolve.

"Two intersecting glass planes cut the building in two and put artmaking on display to encourage cross-disciplinary cruising and public seduction — visual art meets performance art, sculpture meets printmaking, film meets digital media and the campus meets the city," Renfro said. "The building facilitates chance encounters and collaborations, acting as a tool to help usher the Rice art program into a new and bold future."

"The way that it opens as you enter, narrows down and opens back out, you really feel that in different ways on the three different floors," said John Sparagana, the Grace Christian Vietti Chair in Visual Arts. "It is really a magnificent space. It's magnificent in design terms, in terms of light, in terms of views. But it's also incredibly well designed for functionality. DS+R really got it. Charles really got it."

For Sparagana, the building's glass, lightness and openness are both inspiring and practical, capturing the essence of an art school community.

"An elegant and innovative university art building is necessarily one that serves the creative and programmatic mission of arts education," Sparagana said. "Charles Renfro's design for Sarofim Hall is an ingenious response to our program's history, context and curricular structure. Despite its necessarily intricate choreography, this complex and exciting building manifests with remarkable clarity. My experience is of a grounded, iconic space for making and teaching art, but I'm transported by Sarofim Hall's hallucinatory grandeur — in either case it's the realization of a dream."

Beyond its architectural statements, Sarofim Hall is meant to be a living building — in use around the clock, serving students in every medium and welcoming the Houston public for exhibitions, film screenings in the Rice Cinema and collaborative events with neighboring institutions. Austin Commercial served as general contractor for the facility, which was constructed to LEED Gold standards, underscoring Rice's commitment to sustainability.

Funded through the generosity of Susan and Fayez Sarofim and other supporters, the building stands as both a tribute to Rice's legacy in the arts and a promise for its future. What once required students and faculty to make do with temporary structures now has a permanent home — one designed to inspire, connect and elevate the work of generations to come.

Hope for Thalassemia Patients: Nagpur Hospital Pioneers First Pediatric Bone Marrow Transplant in Region

Desk News — Tue, 16 Sep 2025 18:00:54 +0530

Nagpur (Maharashtra) [India], September 16: Nagpur has etched its name on India’s medical map after NewEra Mother & Child Hospital successfully completed Central India’s first pediatric bone marrow transplant for Thalassemia Major, a feat that signals a new era in advanced pediatric healthcare outside metropolitan cities.

The pioneering procedure was performed on a young girl suffering from the severe inherited blood disorder. The Procedure was led by Dr. Atish Bakane, Dr. Priyanka Pawar and Dr. Anand Bhutada, supported by the hospital’s dedicated Bone Marrow Transplant (BMT) unit. After weeks of meticulous care and monitoring, the child was discharged in stable health, marking a milestone for the region’s medical community.

Until now, families battling Thalassemia Major in Central India have often faced the burden of travelling to distant metro cities for curative treatment. Bone marrow transplant is the only known therapy that offers a long-term solution to this chronic disease, but it demands highly specialized infrastructure, round-the-clock care and a multidisciplinary team. The success at NewEra Mother & Child Hospital shows that such outcomes can now be achieved locally.

The hospital’s leadership hailed the accomplishment as a turning point. Directors Dr. Anand Sancheti, Dr. Nilesh Agrawal, Dr. Nidheesh Mishra and Dr. Shweta Bhutada issued a joint message congratulating the BMT team for “raising the bar of pediatric healthcare” in Nagpur and beyond. They reaffirmed their commitment to investing in world-class medical technology, training and research to ensure more children receive life-saving care close to home.

For Dr. Anand Bhutada, a gold medalist paediatrician and Director at NewEra Mother & Child Hospital, the success embodies his long-standing vision to transform pediatric and neonatal care in Nagpur. Under his leadership, the hospital has built an ecosystem of intensive care, advanced diagnostics and high-end procedures that rival the country’s top institutions.

The young patient’s discharge was an emotional moment for the medical team and family alike. Hospital staff described it as “a day of hope” and said the achievement had already prompted inquiries from neighboring states. Plans are underway to expand the program to include bone marrow transplants for other pediatric blood and immune disorders, cementing Nagpur’s status as an emerging hub for complex child healthcare.

Medical experts say the transplant demonstrates how collaboration between skilled professionals, modern infrastructure and hospital leadership can deliver world-class outcomes beyond traditional metro centres. It is also a ray of hope for thousands of parents who have long been searching for permanent solutions to their children’s life-threatening conditions.

With this landmark, NewEra Mother & Child Hospital has not only advanced Nagpur’s reputation as a center for excellence but also rewritten what is possible in regional pediatric care, bringing life-changing treatments closer to the communities that need them most.

The Silent Suffering: Dr. Jyoti Bansal on Why Most People Miss Early Kidney Disease Warning Signs

Desk News — Tue, 16 Sep 2025 18:00:46 +0530

Jaipur (Rajasthan) [India], September 16: Kidney disease creeps up quietly. Unlike chest pain that sends you rushing to the emergency room, kidney problems develop over the years while you feel fine. This makes early detection tricky but essential.

Dr. Jyoti Bansal, a urologist and kidney transplant surgeon in Jaipur, sees what happens when people wait too long. “We see many patients only when swelling, breathlessness, or severe weakness starts,” he says. “By then, treatment gets much harder.”

Symptoms People Brush Off

Early kidney disease symptoms seem minor. Foamy urine that doesn’t go away means protein is leaking from your kidneys. Mild swelling around your eyes in the morning gets blamed on bad sleep or getting older.

Blood pressure that’s hard to control, waking up at night to urinate, feeling tired all the time, poor appetite, or nausea – people ignore these changes because they happen slowly.

“Don’t dismiss small changes,” Dr. Bansal warns. “Notice foamy urine. Notice swelling. Your kidneys are trying to tell you something.”

Who Needs to Worry Most

Some people face higher risks. Diabetes and high blood pressure damage the tiny blood vessels in your kidneys. Being overweight, having heart problems, or having kidney disease in your family makes things worse.

Dr. Bansal tells patients with family kidney problems to start getting checked by age 30-35, sometimes earlier.

Tests That Catch Problems Early

Checking your kidney health doesn’t require expensive scans. You need basic blood work to see how well your kidneys filter waste, a urine test to check for protein, blood pressure readings, and tests for blood sugar and cholesterol.

These tests cost much less than dialysis or kidney transplants later.

“Early action is the easiest, safest, and most affordable way to save your kidneys and your life,” Dr. Bansal explains.

Kidney disease affects millions of people, but many don’t know they have it until serious damage occurs. Regular testing catches problems when treatment still works well and costs less.

Protecting your kidneys starts with paying attention to subtle changes and getting checked once a year if you’re at risk.

About Dr. Jyoti Bansal

Dr. Jyoti Bansal is a distinguished Urologist, and Kidney Transplant Surgeon with over two decades of clinical excellence. He has performed more than 10,000 endourology procedures and over 200 independent kidney transplants at leading institutions in Jaipur, including Manipal Hospital and Fortis Escorts. Dr. Bansal is recognized for pioneering minimally invasive techniques and “tubeless & stentless” transplant pathways that reduce patient recovery time. As founder of iLiOS Health, India’s dedicated second-opinion platform, and co-founder of RITU IVF, he champions transparency and evidence-based care. His commitment to patient empowerment and surgical precision has established him as a trusted leader in North India’s medical community.

Traditionally, animal protein has been considered the “gold standard” for building muscle and supporting weight management. However, more and more people are turning to plant-based protein sources, not only for ethical and environmental reasons but also for their unique health benefits.

Plant protein is no longer seen as an inferior option; research now highlights its powerful role in weight control, muscle development, and overall well-being. Derived from sources such as legumes, seeds, grains, and protein powders, plant protein provides essential amino acids, fiber, and micronutrients that enhance satiety, support digestion, and fuel the body effectively. Beyond the physical benefits, plant protein also contributes to reduced risk of chronic disease and promotes a cleaner, more sustainable approach to nutrition.

Weight Loss Benefits of Plant Protein

Keeps You Fuller for Longer

One of the biggest challenges when trying to lose weight is dealing with hunger pangs and cravings. Plant proteins are often rich in dietary fiber, which slows digestion and helps you stay fuller for longer. For example, lentils, chickpeas, and quinoa not only provide protein but also deliver fiber that regulates blood sugar levels, preventing sudden spikes and crashes that often trigger overeating. Feeling satisfied after meals reduces the temptation to snack unnecessarily, making it easier to stick to a calorie deficit.

Boosts Metabolism Through the Thermic Effect of Food

Protein—whether from plants or animals—requires more energy for digestion compared to carbohydrates or fats. This is called the thermic effect of food (TEF). Since your body burns more calories to process protein, adding more plant protein to your meals helps naturally boost metabolism. Over time, this additional calorie expenditure can support fat loss while preserving lean mass.

Supports Healthy Digestion and Gut Health

Unlike many animal proteins, plant-based sources often come packed with prebiotic fiber that feeds healthy gut bacteria. A balanced gut microbiome has been linked to better metabolism, reduced fat storage, and more efficient nutrient absorption. This means that not only do plant proteins help with weight loss directly, but they also optimize your digestive system to work in your favor.

Aids Long-Term Weight Management

Unlike restrictive crash diets that often lead to rebound weight gain, plant protein supports sustainable weight loss. It reduces inflammation, lowers cholesterol, and improves overall metabolic health, all of which play a role in maintaining a healthy weight long-term.

Muscle Gain with Plant Protein

Provides Adequate Protein for Muscle Growth

To build muscle effectively, it’s essential to consume enough protein daily. Fitness experts recommend around 1.2–1.6 grams of protein per kilogram of body weight. With the right combinations of plant-based foods—such as beans with rice or pea protein powder—you can easily meet these targets. Plant protein supplies the necessary amino acids that fuel muscle repair and promote hypertrophy after strength training.

Complete Amino Acid Profiles with the Right Combinations

While some plant sources may be lower in certain amino acids like lysine or methionine, combining different sources ensures a complete profile. For instance, pairing rice (low in lysine but high in methionine) with beans (low in methionine but high in lysine) creates a well-rounded amino acid supply. Today, many plant-based protein powders are specially formulated to provide complete amino acid profiles, including leucine, which is critical for triggering muscle protein synthesis.

Backed by Research

Recent studies confirm that when consumed in adequate amounts, plant proteins can be just as effective as animal proteins in promoting muscle growth. With regular resistance training, athletes using pea or soy protein powders have experienced similar gains in lean muscle mass compared to those consuming whey protein. This makes plant protein a valid and powerful alternative for bodybuilders and fitness enthusiasts alike.

Sustained Energy and Recovery

Plant protein powder often digests more slowly than animal proteins, offering a steady release of amino acids over time. This can be especially beneficial for post-workout recovery, where the body needs a constant supply of nutrients to repair muscle tissue and reduce soreness. Additionally, the antioxidants found in many plant foods help combat exercise-induced inflammation, further aiding recovery and performance.

Best Sources of Protein

If you’re looking to boost your protein intake from plants, here are some of the top choices:

Legumes – Lentils, chickpeas, and black beans are affordable, protein-rich, and versatile in cooking.
Seeds – Hemp, pumpkin, chia, and flax seeds provide protein, omega-3s, and fiber, making them nutrient-dense options.
Soy Products – Tofu, tempeh, and edamame are complete protein sources and excellent meat substitutes.
Quinoa – One of the few plant foods that naturally contains all essential amino acids.
Pea Protein Powder – Highly digestible and rich in branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs), making it an excellent choice for athletes.
Nut Butters – Almond or peanut butter adds both protein and healthy fats to meals and snacks.

Practical Tips for Adding More Protein

Plan Balanced Meals – Combine grains and legumes for a full amino acid profile.
Snack Smart – Replace chips or cookies with roasted chickpeas, hummus with veggies, or a handful of seeds.
Upgrade Your Smoothies – Add a scoop of plant-based protein powder, nut butter, or chia seeds to your shakes.
Experiment with Plant-Based Recipes – Try lentil curries, bean burgers, or quinoa salads to keep meals exciting.
Prioritize Post-Workout Nutrition – A protein-rich smoothie or tofu stir-fry after exercise can maximize recovery and muscle growth.

Summary

Plant protein is not just for vegans or vegetarians—it’s for anyone who wants to support weight loss, improve muscle strength, and adopt a healthier lifestyle. From enhancing satiety and boosting metabolism to fueling muscle growth and recovery, plant-based proteins deliver results that rival traditional animal proteins. With the right combinations and quality sources, they can provide all the essential nutrients your body needs to thrive.

'Sister Gardens' celebrate deep roots between Canada and China

PR NewsWire — Tue, 16 Sep 2025 15:31:13 +0530

BEIJING, Sept. 16, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- A report from China Daily

The event "Suzhou Week" recently launched in Victoria, Canada, celebrating two milestones - the 55th anniversary of China-Canada diplomatic relations and the 45th anniversary of Suzhou-Victoria sister-city ties.

Zeng Zhi, acting Chinese consul-general in Vancouver, remarked that Suzhou classical gardens are world-renowned for their exquisite designs, while Victoria is famous for its natural scenery. "Both places emphasize the harmony between humans and nature," he said.

Marianne Alto, mayor of Victoria, highlighted the core role of people-to-people exchanges in sister-city relationships, stressing that face-to-face interaction deepens mutual understanding and helps uncover shared values.

A highlight of the opening ceremony was the signing of a Garden Friendship and Cooperation Statement between Lion Forest Garden, one of Suzhou's most prestigious gardens, and the Butchart Gardens in Victoria, one of the world's most beautiful private gardens. The agreement officially established them as "Sister Gardens".

Centered on the principles of "celebrating cultural heritage, deepening friendship and mutual trust, and promoting global conservation", the statement outlined four key cooperation initiatives.

These include exploring ecological protection and sustainable development paths; exchanging global best practices in garden conservation to advance the living inheritance of traditional gardening techniques; expanding people-to-people visits and tourism cooperation between China and Canada; and holding regular consultations on projects like flower exhibitions and horticultural technology sharing.

Qian Yucheng, deputy director of Suzhou Gardens and Greening Bureau, said that this garden alliance will lay a foundation for cooperation in garden management, plant horticulture, and cultural promotion, elevating the cooperative relationship between Suzhou and Victoria to new heights.

During the ceremony, Kunqu opera performers, intangible cultural heritage inheritors, and symphony musicians performed for the audience. These shows not only paid tribute to the 45-year friendship between the two cities but opened a new chapter in the mutual appreciation of Eastern and Western garden aesthetics and cultural exchanges.

Additionally, the art exhibition titled "The Vast within the Tiny, Classical Gardens from Suzhou - Lion Forest Garden Featured in the Butchart Gardens" debuted that same day.

It showcased nine Suzhou gardens inscribed on the World Heritage List, presenting the elegance of Jiangnan - the region along the lower reaches of the Yangtze River - and explaining the gardening wisdom of "seeing the big in the small" through rockeries, water features, and plant configuration.

The exhibition also allowed audiences to experience the timeless charm of gardens through photographic works featuring poetry, calligraphy, painting, and seal carving.

Organizers also arranged interactive events to help people gain a deeper understanding of Jiangnan culture and Suzhou gardens. The "Garden Seal" activity, for example, featured seals engraved with iconic images of the two gardens.

Stamping these seals displayed Taihu Lake stones and the latticed windows of Lion Forest Garden alongside the Rose Carousel of Butchart Gardens, symbolizing the expectation for lasting friendship.

Meanwhile, Portland - another sister city of Suzhou - celebrated the 25th anniversary of the Lan Su Chinese Garden on Sept 12. With lantern decorations, Kunqu opera performances, and a showcase of Su embroidery, an intangible cultural heritage, the event left a profound impression on visitors.

Built by Suzhou garden craftsmen and officially opened to the public in 2000, Lan Su Chinese Garden showcases the unique charm of Jiangnan scenery through its pavilions, terraces, towers, small bridges, and flowing water.

Over the past 25 years, it has become a must-visit destination in Portland and a vital window into cultural exchanges between China and the United States, welcoming approximately 150,000 visitors annually. Regular Chinese cultural events are held there year-round, including Mid-Autumn Festival, Spring Festival, and Lantern Festival.

Elizabeth Nye, executive director of Lan Su Chinese Garden, said that the garden upholds Suzhou's essence in both gardening techniques and cultural connotations. Currently, an expansion project is underway, planning to add spaces such as an art gallery and a performance hall to expand its cultural communication functions.

The friendship between Lan Su Chinese Garden and Suzhou's Master-of-Nets Garden serves as a vivid link in the sister-city relationship, according to the Suzhou Gardens and Greening Bureau.

Moving forward, the two sides will continue to promote exchanges in gardening techniques and intangible cultural heritage displays, enabling more North Americans to appreciate the beauty of Suzhou classical gardens and the profound heritage of Chinese culture.

Lagavulin Single Malt Scotch Whisky Unveils The Lagavulin Islay Tartan, Designed with Simon Goldman, Interpreting Whisky Craft In Textile Form

PR NewsWire — Tue, 16 Sep 2025 04:30:23 +0530

Woven by Lovat Mill, the custom fabric will transform the whisky's Scottish heritage into a modern expression, in the first-ever project from Goldman's new creative studio with Myles Kusaba, M&S Co.

ISLAY, Scotland, Sept. 15, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, Lagavulin Single Malt Scotch Whisky reveals the Lagavulin Islay Tartan, a bespoke textile inspired by the distillery's home on the island of Islay and crafted in collaboration with designer Simon Goldman and Scotland's storied Lovat Mill. Known worldwide for exceptional craftsmanship, Lagavulin has long stood as one of Scotland's most revered Single Malts. Now, that heritage is woven into a textile for the first time, carrying the brand's story into a wearable medium for the worlds of fashion and design.

Experience the full interactive Multichannel News Release here: https://www.multivu.com/lagavulin/9355451-en-lagavulin-single-malt-scotch-whisky-unveils-official-tartan-designed-with-simon-goldman

Goldman approached the collaboration as an exercise in cultural translation, distilling Lagavulin's spirit into something tactile, layered, and expressive. This project marks the first collaboration from Simon Goldman and Myles Kusaba's newly launched creative studio, M&S Co., a project uniting heritage craft with modern brand storytelling.

"Lagavulin Whisky has always been defined by Islay, shaped by its landscape, its community, and more than two centuries of craftsmanship and character in every drop," said Greg Bruce, Whisky Specialist and Blender at the Lagavulin Distillery. "Tartan speaks to the same idea: a Scottish tradition that carries history forward through craft. Bringing the two together is not about novelty, but about continuity, honoring where we come from and showing how heritage can honor the past while shaping the present through cultural reinterpretations today."

Drawing from Lagavulin's heritage, flavor profile, and elemental character, the tartan's design pulls directly from the distillery and its surroundings. Six amber lines echo the six copper stills that have shaped the whisky for more than two centuries, while deep brown threads reference the peat, dense layers of moss and vegetation from Islay's soil that are burned during malting to give Lagavulin its signature smokiness. Deep green reflects Islay's rolling fields, with layers of white, grey, and blue nodding to the whitewashed walls, slate rooftops, rocky coastline, and shifting ocean hues. The result is a textile as symbolic and intentional as the whisky itself.

"My work is a reflection of the belief that every fabric carries meaning and memory. When Lagavulin came to me with the shared ethos that craft is about more than form and function, but about telling a story, we decided to convey this spirit's 200-year story through a new medium," said Simon Goldman, "With my collaborator Myles Kusaba, an expert voice in the world of design, we're thrilled to share with you the first look at the Lagavulin Islay Tartan."

The first iteration of the tartan is being woven in the looms of Lovat Mill, Scotland's legendary textile house based in Hawick, the historic heart of tartan weaving. For centuries, Lovat has been regarded as a custodian of Scotland's national fabric, producing cloth for royalty, design houses, and institutions around the world. Like Lagavulin, its reputation rests on patience, precision, and a commitment to preserving tradition while embracing modern interpretation, making it a natural partner for this collaboration.

As part of its September debut, the Lagavulin Islay Tartan will make its first appearance at Coveteur's Fashion Week Closing Party in New York City on September 15. The evening will bring together industry tastemakers and longtime friends of Lagavulin to toast the launch. The partnership marks more than just a collaboration; it arrives on the heels of the brand's recent relaunch under Gallery Media Group, reflecting its renewed mission to spotlight insider perspectives at the intersection of style and culture.

"This collaboration perfectly captures where Coveteur is headed - celebrating style not just as something you wear, but as a powerful cultural statement. Partnering with Simon and Lagavulin to reinterpret something as timeless as tartan through a modern lens is the essence of our next chapter," said Faith Xue, Editor-in-Chief of Coveteur.

Also central to this debut is Nick Offerman, whose decade-long collaboration with Lagavulin has become the brand's most enduring creative partnership. Together, they've released four Lagavulin Offerman Edition 11 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whiskies, including the 2021 Guinness Cask Finish -- named Whisky Advocate's 2021 Whisky of the Year -- and the latest Caribbean Rum Cask Finish, an expression finished in ex-rum casks. Wearing a production run of the Lagavulin Islay Tartan, custom tailored by Martin Greenfield Clothiers, the legendary Brooklyn garment house known for its timeless craftsmanship, Offerman carries the partnership forward, introducing this textile with the same mix of character and credibility that has defined his work with Lagavulin over the years.

Lagavulin invites whisky lovers and tastemakers alike of legal drinking age to follow the journey of the Lagavulin Islay Tartan on Instagram at @LagavulinWhisky and @Simon__Gold . To discover the full Lagavulin portfolio, including its signature Lagavulin 16 Year Old, visit TheBar.com.

LG EXPANDS XBOOM BUDS LINEUP WITH BUDS PLUS AND BUDS LITE FOR EVERY LIFESTYLE

PR NewsWire — Tue, 16 Sep 2025 04:30:13 +0530

Immersive Sound, Long Battery Life, and Ergonomic Comfort Across All Models—Tailored for Audiophiles and Everyday Listeners

ENGLEWOOD CLIFFS, N.J., Sept. 15, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- LG Electronics (LG) is expanding the xboom Buds lineup with the introduction of Buds Plus and Buds Lite, building on the success of the original xboom Buds launched in January. Designed to deliver high-quality audio experiences for casual listeners and discerning audiophiles alike, the new models offer immersive sound, extended battery life, and ergonomic comfort, ensuring uninterrupted listening wherever life takes you. Pricing and availability of the new Buds Plus and Buds Lite models in the US will be announced at a later date.

Expertly tuned by world-renowned musician will.i.am, the xboom Buds series delivers high-resolution sound quality and rich bass. With this expansion, LG continues to differentiate its audio offerings by providing a diverse range of features and pricing options tailored to different lifestyles – from premium performance to essential everyday use.

Shared Performance Across the Lineup
The Buds Plus and Buds Lite are built on LG's expertise in audio innovation, delivering a solid foundation of high-end sound and reliable performance:

Immersive Sound: Lightweight graphene drivers deliver clear, detailed audio with rich bass and minimal distortion.
Active Noise Cancellation (ANC)*: LG's intelligent ANC technology detects and reduces background noise for a more focused listening experience.
Long Battery Life: Up to 10 hours of playback and 30 hours with the charging case across all models, with Buds Lite offering even longer endurance.
Seamless Connectivity: Bluetooth 5.4 ensures smooth, low-latency streaming across devices, while support for Multi-Point & Multi-Pairing, Google Fast Pair, and Swift Pairing makes switching between smartphones, laptops, and tablets effortless.
Ergonomic Comfort: All models feature a secure in-ear fit with multiple ear tip sizes and a unique ear hook design for added stability.

These shared features guarantee LG xboom's signature audio quality in every xboom Buds model.

xboom Buds Plus: Premium Features for Elevated Listening Pleasure
Designed for people seeking truly elevated listening experiences, Buds Plus combine advanced technology with thoughtful design. Adaptive EQ continuously monitors earbud fit and automatically adjusts the sound profile in real time. This ensures optimal audio quality regardless of how the earbuds are worn – compensating for changes that could otherwise result in sound imbalance or bass loss. The result is consistently rich, immersive sound with minimal variation. Buds Plus also feature a triple microphone system that enhances both ANC performance and call clarity, making them ideal for noisy environments or professional use.

To ensure the best possible fit and sound isolation, the Noise Cancelling Optimization tool on the xboom Buds app recommends the ear gel that offers the most secure seal, maximizing both comfort and ANC effectiveness.

With hygiene a growing concern, LG reintroduces its UVnano** technology through the Buds Plus charging case – eliminating 99.9 percent of bacteria from the surface of the ear gel and speaker mesh while charging and helping users stay fresh and worry-free throughout the day.

Also making a welcome return is the Plug & Wireless feature, which instantly turns the charging case into a Bluetooth transmitter for non-Bluetooth devices such as in-flight entertainment systems and gym equipment. With Auracast support, users can also synchronize audio across multiple devices, perfect for watch parties, multiplayer gaming and collaborative projects.

And for those who value convenience, the Buds Plus charging case supports wireless charging, making it easier than ever to power up without fumbling for cables. Whether placed on a charging pad at home or on the go, this feature adds a layer of effortless practicality to the premium experience.

xboom Buds Lite: Essential Audio for Everyday Adventures
Designed for those who value simplicity with a touch of personalization, Buds Lite deliver high-quality wireless audio in a streamlined, comfortable form. Powered by the same lightweight graphene drivers as Buds Plus, they offer clear, balanced audio for music, calls and more.

With up to 11.5 hours of playback on a single charge – and up to 35 hours with the charging case – Buds Lite are built to keep up with long commutes, travel days, and non-stop listening. Their lightweight, ergonomic design and multiple ear tip sizes ensure a secure, comfortable fit that lasts all day.

To enhance the listening experience, Buds Lite feature Mild ANC paired with four customizable EQ modes, allowing users to fine-tune their sound profile to match their preferences – whether they're relaxing at home or working in a café. This added layer of personalization brings a premium touch to everyday audio.

The Full xboom Buds Family

xboom Buds Plus: Advanced earbuds with superior sound and easy usability. Recommended for active users who travel frequently or have dynamic lifestyles.
xboom Buds: Standard earbuds suitable for various everyday activities. Recommended for users with active daily routines, such as students and professionals.
xboom Buds Lite: Essential earbuds with long-lasting battery life, ideal for indoor use. Recommended for users in environments such as cafes and libraries.

"Sound has always been part of LG's identity, beginning with the first radio made in Korea and evolving into today's wireless audio innovations," said Lee Jeong-seok, head of the LG Media Entertainment Solution Company's audio business division. "With xboom Buds Plus and Buds Lite expanding the xboom Buds lineup, we are honoring that legacy by making immersive, high-quality audio experiences available to more people, regardless of their lifestyle or listening preferences."

Availability
With the newest members of the xboom Buds family, LG reaffirms its commitment to giving consumers audio solutions that fit seamlessly into their lifestyle and reflect their unique preferences.

To learn more about LG xboom Buds, please visit: LG.com.

*Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) Disclaimer: ANC functionality is available across all xboom Buds models, but performance may vary. xboom Buds and Buds Plus use a 3-microphone system for enhanced noise detection and reduction. Buds Lite uses a single microphone to monitor ambient noise, resulting in different ANC experiences depending on the model and environment.

** UVnano is a compound word derived from "UV" and its unit "nanometer." Independent testing shows that the UVnano charging case eliminates 99.9% of Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, and Klebsiella pneumoniae bacteria from the earbuds' speaker mesh within ten minutes of charging. The UV LED function operates when the charging case is connected to a power cable. However users can also customize the settings so that the UVnano is activated automatically whenever the earbuds are placed inside the case and the lid is closed, for added convenience.

Swara Vigyan: The Hidden Vedic Science of Breath That Can Change Your Life

Desk News — Mon, 15 Sep 2025 20:30:22 +0530

New Delhi [India], September 15: Do you know that at any given time, you are only breathing fully through one nostril? Try this: place your finger just under your nose and blow out forcefully. You’ll notice that one side is stronger than the other.

Strange, right? But here’s the real secret: this simple shift in nostril dominance is not random. It has the power to influence your mind, your health, your productivity, and even your success in life.

And this is where an ancient Vedic science called Swara Vigyan comes in.

The Origin of Swara Vigyan

In Vedic culture, Lord Shiva is known as Adiguru—the first teacher. One day, Maa Parvati asked him a profound question:
“O Lord, how do you control the entire universe while sitting still?”

Shiva smiled and replied, “Devi, I control nothing. I control only one thing—the breath of all beings. Whoever learns to master the breath masters’s life.”

This wisdom, preserved in the ancient scripture Shiva Swarodaya Shastra, gave birth to Swara Vigyan, the science of breath.

What Exactly is Swara Vigyan?

The word Swara means the sound of one’s breath, and Vigyan means science. In simple terms, Swara Vigyan is the science of how breath patterns shape our body, mind, and destiny.

Modern medicine agrees that breath is directly linked to the brain, nervous system, and hormones. But ancient yogis discovered something deeper: the effect depends on which nostril is active.

Left Nostril (Ida Nadi): Activates the right brain, calms the body, sparks creativity, and connects to the parasympathetic nervous system (your “rest and digest” mode).
Right Nostril (Pingla Nadi): Activates the left brain, fuels energy and logic, and connects to the sympathetic nervous system (your “fight or flight” mode).
Both Nostrils (Sushumna): Activates higher consciousness, perfect for meditation and spiritual practices.

By becoming aware of your nostril flow and learning to gently regulate it, you can align your daily actions with the right energy.

Stress, Anxiety and the Breath

In our modern lifestyle, stress is everywhere. From work deadlines to constant notifications, our brain’s “fear centre”—the amygdala—keeps firing. This sets off a chain reaction: the hypothalamus sends danger signals to the brain, hormones flood the system, heartbeat races, blood pressure rises, and suddenly, we are stuck in survival mode.

For our ancestors in caves, this was useful. A rustle in the bushes could mean a predator. But for us today, the “danger” is often imaginary—a rude email, traffic jam, or overthinking. The body, however, reacts the same way.

Here’s the good news: you can reverse this reaction by simply switching nostrils.

When the right nostril dominates, the body stays in fight-or-flight.
By activating the left nostril, you switch on the parasympathetic system. This calms the mind, slows the heart, and brings clarity.

That’s why Swara Vigyan is not just spiritual philosophy—it’s also a practical cure for stress, anxiety, brain fog, and even insomnia.

A Simple Practice to Cure Stress

Here’s a practical Swara Vigyan technique to stay calm and stress-free by balancing your breath differently in the day and at night.

Daytime Balance: During the day, consciously activate your left nostril to stay calm and composed. Lie down on your right side for a few minutes, and you’ll notice the left nostril opening up. This keeps stress low, improves focus, and prevents burnout.
Nighttime Balance: At night, activate your right nostril by lying on your left side. This generates warmth in the body, improves digestion, enhances sleep quality, and even supports weight loss over time.

Now the question is how do we do it so to activate your left nostril? Lie on your right side for a few minutes—your left nostril will open naturally. Use this whenever you feel anxious, restless, or stressed. With regular practice, your left nostril will start becoming the default during the day, keeping you calm and balanced. At night, switch—sleep on your left side to activate the right nostril, which aids digestion, improves sleep quality, and even supports natural weight loss.

Breath and Swara Vigyan

Breath is more than oxygen. It is the physical expression of the mind, the carrier of Prana, the life force itself. It is the bridge between your lower brain (dominated by fear and ego) and your higher brain (driven by awareness and wisdom).

Swara Vigyan teaches us how to cross this bridge with ease. It aligns us with the natural rhythm of the universe, balancing Shiva and Shakti within.

The next time you feel anxious, restless, or tired—don’t reach for coffee or your phone. Pause. Notice your breath. Shift your nostril flow. In that tiny act lies the secret to a calmer mind, healthier body, and a more successful life.

As Lord Shiva told Maa Parvati:
“He who masters the breath master’s life.”

Polyphenol Power: How Cranberries Protect Teeth and Gums

Desk News — Mon, 15 Sep 2025 20:30:15 +0530

New Delhi [India], September 15: What we eat and drink directly affects oral health. Diets rich in fruits and vegetables are well known for protecting against tooth decay, cavities, and gum disease. Among these, cranberries stand out due to their unique bioactive compounds, particularly A-type proanthocyanidins (PACs), which may offer significant oral health benefits.

How Cranberries Protect Oral Health

Cranberry polyphenols have been shown to inhibit the activity of Streptococcus mutans, a key bacterium involved in tooth decay and biofilm formation. Biofilms, or bacterial layers, attach to surfaces in the mouth and can lead to infections or an imbalance of oral bacteria. By disrupting this process, cranberry compounds can reduce harmful bacterial activity.

Isolated polyphenols from cranberries and cranberry juice have demonstrated promising effects in managing:

Dental plaque formation
Tooth decay and cavities
Gum disease

These findings suggest a potential for developing products that leverage cranberry-derived bioactive polyphenols to improve oral cavity health.

A Natural Step Forward

While regular brushing, flossing, and dental check-ups remain essential, US Cranberries provide a natural dietary approach to supporting oral hygiene. With their ability to help manage bacterial biofilms and promote a balanced oral microbiome, cranberries are emerging as a valuable ally for long-term oral health.

Artist and Author Marcie Shrewsbury Lopez Honors a Love that Defies Judgement in Moving New Memoir

PR NewsWire — Mon, 15 Sep 2025 18:00:23 +0530

"A Place of Promise" offers comfort to those navigating grief and seeking renewal

ATLANTIC HIGHLANDS, N.J., Sept. 15, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Artist and author Marcie Shrewsbury Lopez's love story is far from conventional. She and her late husband, renowned magazine publisher Adrian B. Lopez, shared a 46-year age difference. The relationship caused tension with their respective families. Despite these obstacles, the love the two shared remained unshaken.

The loss of a spouse is never an easy journey, and it is one that Lopez found herself embarking on at 52 years old. She now shares her story of love, loss, and finding herself after grief in her new book, "A Place of Promise."

"Our marriage had begun under a cloud of mistrust and resentment," Lopez said, "yet we refused to let the weight of others' judgments define us. Together, we faced the prenuptial agreement, the coldness of his sons, and the whispers of doubt from my own family. In the quiet of our home, we chose each other again and again. Love was our fortress, stronger than their disapproval, steadier than the trials set before us."

After her husband passed the day before his 98^th birthday, Lopez found herself facing feelings of emptiness, loneliness, and the collapse of her sense of purpose. She struggles with practical matters, such as settling his estate and finances, as well as the spiritual weight of loss. In an effort to pull herself from her grief, she begins a journey of rediscovery, reconnecting with her creativity, and feeling her husband's presence in nature, memory, and faith. She finds comfort in spiritual promises of eternal love.

"In the silence that followed Adrian's passing, I had to learn to breathe on my own again," Lopez said. "I discovered strength I never imagined, managing finances, creating art, and finding comfort in prayer. Slowly, I began to see myself not only as his widow but as a woman capable of living fully. Through painting and writing, I reclaimed parts of myself long hidden in the shadow of grief."

The title "A Place of Promise" refers not only to the couple's shared homes but also to the enduring spiritual bond that guides Lopez's future. By sharing her own story, she hopes to help others heal in their grieving process and to inspire them to live life to the fullest, even after a broken heart or significant loss.

Purina Dog Chow Celebrates 100 Year History with Jason Wu at New York Fashion Week

PR NewsWire — Mon, 15 Sep 2025 18:00:15 +0530

Jason Wu Collection, Spring 2026 draws inspiration from art of Robert Rauschenberg, including iconic Purina checkerboard and Dog Chow packaging

ST. LOUIS, Sept. 15, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Since 1926, Purina Dog Chow brand dog food has been a staple for millions of dog-loving families, and the brand's role in pop culture, advertising, and art has made it a household name and symbol of Americana. Now, the brand is in the spotlight of New York Fashion Week as designer Jason Wu has highlighted Dog Chow in his Spring 2026 collection.

Jason Wu Collection draws inspiration from art of Robert Rauschenberg including Purina checkerboard & Dog Chow packaging

Inspired by Robert Rauschenberg's fabric works of the 1970s, including Groundings (Hoarfrost) from 1975 which famously featured the Dog Chow packaging, Wu's collection includes three original ensembles that incorporate the Purina Dog Chow motif. The "Collage" collection pays tribute to the late artist in his centennial year – and spotlights Dog Chow as an icon of pop culture ahead of its own 100-year milestone in 2026.

A Cultural Convergence of Art and Design

Wu, a longtime admirer of Robert Rauschenberg, drew inspiration from the artist's transformative use of everyday materials, including pet food packaging. In Groundings (Hoarfrost) from 1975, Wu was struck by how Rauschenberg elevated familiar imagery into poetic expressions through the use of solvent transfer and collage on fabric. "I was captivated by the bold Americana aesthetic," said Wu, "especially the iconic checkerboard pattern featured on the Purina Dog Chow bag collaged within the work."

The collaboration also reflects Wu's personal connection as both a designer and pet owner. "As someone who deeply loves animals, I recognized that same appreciation in Rauschenberg's life and work as well. This connection felt both meaningful and serendipitous, providing the perfect opportunity to weave Purina Dog Chow's 100-year heritage and visual identity into our collection in an authentic and artistic way," said Wu.

Honoring a Century of Pets and Culture

Since its founding in 1926, Dog Chow has helped transform the way Americans view dogs – from working animals, to members of the family. The brand's presence in culture made it a symbol of care, loyalty, and domestic life – and an inspiration for both Rauschenberg and Wu, underscoring the brand's century-long influence on American culture and its continued relevance in shaping how we care and connect with our pets.

"Dog Chow's evolution mirrors the broader cultural shift in pet ownership," said Susan Anderson-Bauer, Purina archivist. "Rauschenberg's inclusion of the Purina checkerboard and Purina Dog Chow packaging in his work was a recognition of the brand's role in society. Jason Wu's reinterpretation invites a new generation to see Dog Chow through a fresh lens – not just as a dog food brand that's been around for 100 years, but as a symbol of how deeply pets are woven into the American experience."

The Rauschenberg Connection

Robert Rauschenberg was a pioneering American artist known for transforming everyday materials into evocative works of art. In the mid-1970s, he incorporated Purina Dog Chow packaging into his Hoarfrost series, and later the Chow Bags series of screenprints that blended collage, photography, and the iconic Purina checkerboard design. A lifelong animal lover whose pets often accompanied him in the studio, Rauschenberg's affection for dogs and fascination with patterns echoed throughout his career, rendering his work both deeply personal and visually resonant.

About Rauschenberg 100

Robert Rauschenberg's (1925-2008) strong conviction that engagement with art can nurture people's sensibilities as individuals, community members, and citizens was key to his ethos. The Centennial celebrations seek to allow audiences familiar with him and those encountering the artist for the first time to form fresh perspectives about his artwork.

A year of global activities and exhibitions in honor of Rauschenberg's Centennial reexamines the artist through a contemporary lens, highlighting his enduring influence on generations of artists and advocates for social progress. The Centennial's activation of the artist's legacy promotes cross-disciplinary explorations and creates opportunities for critical dialogue.

Dr. Pratibha Bezwada – Expert Psychiatrist in Pune Speaks on Depression & High-Functioning Depression

Desk News — Sun, 14 Sep 2025 02:00:08 +0530

New Delhi [India], September 12: Depression is one of the most common yet misunderstood mental health conditions. According to the World Health Organisation, more than 264 million people worldwide suffer from depression. Despite this, many continue to suffer in silence due to stigma, lack of awareness, or misconceptions about the illness.

Dr. Pratibha K. Bezwada, Senior Consultant Psychiatrist at Livwell Happier Minds Mental Health Centre, Hinjewadi (Pune), emphasises the importance of identifying and addressing depression early. With over 19 years of clinical experience, she has treated thousands of patients struggling with anxiety, depression, and related disorders.

Understanding Depression

Depression is not just sadness. It is a medical condition that affects mood, energy, sleep, appetite, and overall quality of life. Common symptoms include:

Persistent sadness or low mood
Loss of interest in daily activities
Fatigue and lack of energy
Feelings of guilt or worthlessness
Sleep disturbances
Thoughts of self-harm or hopelessness

Dr. Bezwada explains:

“Depression is highly treatable with timely intervention. Psychotherapy, lifestyle changes, and medications when required can help patients regain control of their lives.”

High-Functioning Depression – The Hidden Struggle

One of the most overlooked forms of depression is High-Functioning Depression (also called Dysthymia or Persistent Depressive Disorder).

Unlike classic depression, individuals with high-functioning depression often appear to “have it all together.” They may have successful careers, active social lives, and even seem cheerful on the outside. But internally, they may experience:

Constant self-doubt or inner sadness
Lack of motivation despite achievements
Irritability or restlessness
Sleep or appetite changes
Feeling emotionally exhausted even while “functioning” normally

Dr. Bezwada adds:

“High-functioning depression is dangerous because it often goes unnoticed. Such individuals rarely seek help until symptoms become severe. Early recognition and intervention are key.”

Why Choose Dr. Pratibha Bezwada?

19+ years of experience in Psychiatry
Special expertise in Depression, Anxiety, OCD & Stress Disorders
Personalized, empathetic approach to treatment
In-clinic and online consultations for accessibility
Focus on holistic mental well-being

Her clinic, Livwell Happier Minds, offers evidence-based psychiatric care, therapy sessions, and day-care programs designed to support patients at every stage of recovery.

Key Message

Dr. Pratibha Bezwada urges:

“Depression does not define you. With the right help, recovery is possible. No one should suffer in silence—reach out, speak up, and seek support.”

Enhance Your Property with Expert Concrete Services - A Trice Contracting Event in Queens New York

PR NewsWire — Fri, 12 Sep 2025 05:00:13 +0530

QUEENS, N.Y., Sept. 11, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- On a crisp fall afternoon, homeowners, property managers, and curious neighbors gathered at the heart of the community, drawn by the buzz surrounding one name: Trice Contracting. Known for their craftsmanship and trusted service, the team at Trice wasn't just hosting an event — they were offering a vision. A vision of what quality concrete work could do for a property.

The air was filled with the scent of fresh concrete and possibility. From the moment guests arrived, it was clear this wasn't your average contractor open house.

BUTLER NATIONAL CORPORATION ANNOUNCES FIRST QUARTER 2026 FINANCIAL RESULTS

PR NewsWire — Fri, 12 Sep 2025 05:00:10 +0530

- Operating income rose 32% on 1.5% increase in revenue
- Earnings Per Share increased to $0.06 from $0.03

NEW CENTURY, Kan., Sept. 11, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Butler National Corporation (OTCQX: BUKS), a leader in the growing global market for aircraft modification, maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) and a recognized provider of gaming management services, announces its financial results for the first quarter of fiscal 2026 (the three months ended July 31, 2025).

Historical selected financial data related to all operations:
(In thousands, except shares and per share data)	Three Months Ended July 31
	Three Months Ended July 31
	2025	2024
Revenue	$ 20,125	$ 19,828
Operating Income	$ 4,667	$ 3,536
Net Income	$ 3,685	$ 2,246
Total Assets	$ 130,283	$ 112,298
Long-term liabilities	$ 32,399	$ 33,770
Stockholders' Equity	$ 65,243	$ 65,114
Weighted Average Shares – Diluted	66,922,924	68,738,247
Earnings Per Share	$ 0.06	$ 0.03

Management Comments

President and CEO, Christopher J. Reedy, said, "Our results for the first quarter are a strong start to fiscal year 2026 and represent the commitment of our entire team to enhancing performance. First quarter revenue increased 1.5%, operating income increased 32%, and net income increased 64%, as compared to the same period in fiscal 2025. Gains in the Aerospace Products segment drove the positive results along with continued growth in sports wagering."

"The results reflect a 7% revenue increase in the Aerospace Products segment in the first quarter, which is strongly attributed to Butler-Tempe (Special Mission Electronics) production efficiencies, stocking required parts, focus on expedited fabrication of key components and increased deliveries. The Aircraft Avionics business had a sizable increase in both operating income and revenue, driven in part by reduced costs from the divestment of the autopilot repair business that occurred in the third quarter of last fiscal year," continued Mr. Reedy.

"On June 16, 2025, our New Century, Kansas hangar was damaged by a third-party airplane landing on the roof. The Avcon team overcame interruptions by using our adjacent hangar and worked overtime on our airplane modification projects. The hangar has now been restored. Installation refinement continues with the King Air B300 airplane door expansion project. The King Air airplane used as our prototype was damaged by the hangar incident and the airplane is in the process of being repaired," noted Mr. Reedy.

"During the first quarter of fiscal 2026, we invested approximately $0.6 million in the development and production of new products. These products resulted in additional Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Supplemental Type Certificate (STC) approvals, including the European regulatory-driven requirement of non-halon portable fire extinguishers in all Learjets. We obtained STC approval for non-halon replacement portable fire extinguishers in all Learjets. Additionally, developments continue with the new gun control housing, cable designs and tooling for our minigun products. We believe expenditures for design and development engineering, testing, and certification of new products are essential to grow Aerospace Products, help stabilize our long-term revenue and enhance our future profits," continued Mr. Reedy.

"The 2% increase in the amount of legacy gaming revenue share paid to the State of Kansas beginning December of 2024, and the economic challenges in the Dodge City region, resulted in a Professional Services revenue decrease by 5% in the first quarter of fiscal 2026 to $8.8 million compared to $9.2 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2025," explained Mr. Reedy.

"As previously announced, we repurchased 2.41 million shares of our outstanding common stock during the first quarter, which demonstrates our commitment to maximizing stockholder value. We anticipate utilizing the five million dollars the Board of Directors authorized in July for future stock repurchases," concluded Mr. Reedy.

Business Segment Highlights

Aerospace Products:

Revenue increased 7% to $11.3 million in Q1 FY2026, compared to $10.6 million in Q1 FY2025.

HYROX Mumbai 2025: MuscleBlaze Athletes Dominate with Record-Breaking Wins

Desk News — Thu, 11 Sep 2025 21:00:08 +0530

Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], September 11: At Hyrox Mumbai, one thing was clear: MuscleBlaze-fueled athletes didn’t just show up; they owned the event with 12 athletes at the podium. The energy was electric, the competition fierce, and the performances unforgettable.

Sikander Breaks the Barrier: Sub-60 and #1 Hyrox in India

The highlight of the event? Sikander, who made history as the first Indian to ever complete a HYROX race in 59:54 minutes at Hyrox Men’s Opens (Age 25-29). This remarkable feat not only earned him the win but also broke his previous best of 1 hour 9 minutes, setting a new national record.

“Crossing that line wasn’t just about time – it was about proving what Indian athletes can really do,” Sikander said, moments after his record-breaking finish.

Following is the powerhouse team of MuscleBlaze-powered runners who didn’t just participate. They dominated.

– David Kelly set a new record in the Pro Doubles Men category, becoming India’s fastest finisher with unmatched speed and coordination.

– Manjula won the Women’s 60–64 division, proving age is no barrier to strength.

– Sameer Mhatre topped the Pro Men’s 50–54 group with focus and experience.

– Tom and Vidushi Bharat took 1st in the Under-40 Mixed Relay, showcasing global teamwork and grit.

Also making impressive podium finishes were Mishika Sharma and Mrunali Patil, both securing 2nd place in the 16–24 age group—Mishika in Pro Women and Mrunali in Women’s. Shambhav Dabri took 2nd in the Pro Doubles Men (25–29) category, while Raina Chaudhari and Bharat Ruhil claimed 3rd in Doubles Mixed (35–39). In the Doubles Men (30–34) division, Vikram K earned a strong 2nd-place finish.

MuscleBlaze: Fueling a Fitness Movement

MuscleBlaze, one of Asia’s leading fitness nutrition brands, has long championed the nation’s athletes – not just with supplements, but with complete performance support. While serving millions of customers worldwide, the brand continues to lead with innovation. This year, MB became the only protein brand to receive a U.S. patent for its EnzymePro® – a formula developed over two years and clinically proven to deliver 50% better protein absorption and 60% higher BCAA uptake.

While global brands often prioritize visibility, MB has quietly invested in what athletes actually need:

– Clean, high-quality protein and hydration products

– Recovery-focused supplements tailored to the Indian body

– Functional gear, from shakers and gym bags to apparel that works as hard as the athlete

This wasn’t about putting logos on race bibs. It was about showing up where it matters – in the training grind, the recovery days, and those uncertain mornings when a race still feels out of reach.

About MuscleBlaze:

Founded in 2012, MuscleBlaze is Asia’s leading sports nutrition brand, trusted for authenticity, innovation, and quality.

Trusted in 100+ Countries: YR Fitness Brings Independent Design to the Global Stage

PR NewsWire — Thu, 11 Sep 2025 18:30:23 +0530

FUYANG, China, Sept. 11, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- YR Fitness, one of China's largest commercial gym equipment manufacturers, will showcase its latest innovations at the Dubai Muscle Show 2025, the Middle East's leading fitness exhibition. The company will debut the C4 Revival Series, a new strength training line featuring advanced adjustability and modern design, as part of its push to expand partnerships across global markets.

With customers in more than 100 countries, YR Fitness views the Dubai exhibition as a key opportunity to connect with international distributors, highlight its commitment to independent design, and strengthen its position as a trusted supplier in the global fitness industry.

Showcasing Strength at Dubai Muscle Show 2025

YR Fitness is proud to announce that we will be exhibiting at the Dubai Muscle Show 2025, the premier fitness industry event in the Middle East. This show is a global stage where gym owners, trainers, and distributors gather to experience the latest innovations in fitness equipment. For us, it's an opportunity to showcase our newest strength training solutions, connect with international partners, and continue building our reputation worldwide.

Looking ahead, YR Fitness is already preparing for an exciting schedule of global exhibitions in 2026, including HFA USA, FIBO, and the China Sport Show. Each event is a chance for us to demonstrate why YR Fitness is recognized as one of China's top commercial gym equipment manufacturers, trusted by fitness professionals in over 100 countries for consistent quality.

Who We Are

Founded in 1997 with roots dating back to 1991, YR Fitness has nearly three decades of experience in designing and producing professional-grade gym equipment. From repairing national team machines in our early years to becoming a global supplier for the U.S. Army, the Chinese Olympic Team, and major fitness chains such as Lefit (China) and Power World Fitness Centres (Sri Lanka), our story is one of steady growth and innovation.

Headquartered in Anhui with factories in Fuyang, an R&D center in Beijing, and a sales hub in Shanghai, we combine manufacturing scale with design leadership. Today, YR Fitness is one of China's largest and leading commercial gym equipment manufacturers, supplying products trusted by gyms, training centers, and institutions worldwide.

Innovation in Strength Equipment

At YR, we specialize in strength equipment and independent design. Unlike many manufacturers who simply copy existing models, we create equipment from scratch. Our philosophy is simple but powerful: "Design is how it works. Simple but Significant."

Over the years, we have secured 200+ patents and developed multiple landmark series that changed the industry:

73 Tough Series (2008): The world's first pin-loaded machines with converging and diverging movement paths, setting a new benchmark for natural biomechanics.
61A Racing Series (2016): Compact, efficient, and incredibly durable—some units have been in commercial operation for more than 20 years.
C4 Revival Series (2025): Our latest innovation, combining modern aesthetics with unmatched adjustability, advanced features like rotating grips and isolation attachments, and an ever-expanding lineup.

This commitment is why YR Fitness is recognized as one of the best strength equipment suppliers in China, especially in plate-loaded and pin-loaded gym machines.

100% Original Design & Founder's Vision

At the heart of YR Fitness is a commitment to 100% original design. Since our founding, we have never relied on imitation; instead, we build every piece of equipment from the ground up. Our philosophy—"Design is how it works. Simple, but Significant"—guides every product we create. From the world's first pin-loaded machines with converging and diverging paths in the 73 Series, to the modern adjustability and aesthetics of the C4 Revival Series, YR has continually pushed the boundaries of functionality, ergonomics, and durability. This dedication has earned us more than 200 patents and recognition as one of the few Chinese fitness equipment manufacturers capable of competing with leading international brands.

Behind this philosophy is our founder and chief designer, George Yang. With roots dating back to 1991, when he first repaired equipment for national sports teams, George has always believed that fitness equipment should empower athletes through both performance and design. His leadership combines technical precision with artistic vision, supported by a design team trained at world-class institutions such as the Royal College of Art and Central Saint Martins. Together, they bring a unique blend of engineering, biomechanics, and creativity that defines every YR product. George's lifelong mission—to create equipment that not only lasts but inspires—continues to shape YR Fitness as a pioneer in the global fitness industry.

For George, innovation is never optional—it is the foundation of lasting success. That's why he pushes YR to keep reinventing, ensuring our products remain at the cutting edge of design and performance. As George often says: "We make products with heart. We make products with standard."

OEM, ODM, and Customization

One of the key advantages of YR Fitness is our ability to help brands stand out through OEM and ODM solutions.

One of YR Fitness's greatest strengths lies in our ability to bring brands to life through OEM services. When clients come to us with their own design concepts, logos, or specifications, our factory turns these visions into reality. Every detail—from the choice of steel tubing and upholstery to the final assembly and finish—is executed according to the client's requirements while maintaining our strict commercial standards. This means gyms and distributors can launch their own equipment lines without building a factory from scratch, while still ensuring the machines meet international certifications and performance benchmarks. By offering OEM at scale, YR helps partners reduce costs, accelerate market entry, and maintain complete control over their branding.

For ODM (Original Design Manufacturing), YR offers a fast-start private-label route built on our existing equipment models—so you get high-quality machines that reflect your brand without starting from scratch. Choose the models you want and customize them end-to-end: add your logo (send a PSD or AI file and our consultant will recommend the right logo technology for each material/surface), customize your color using our color board (note: some color options are fixed—contact us for details), request functional personalization (e.g., adjust specific parts, create multi-grip handles, or add adjustability to fixed parts), and pick your packaging (we can meet the requirements for most common packaging styles or advise if you need suggestions). This ODM path delivers a branded, cohesive lineup—quick, practical, and consistent across your whole range.

Beyond OEM/ODM, YR offers extensive customization options:

Colors: Choose from a wide color board for both frames and upholstery to match your branding.
Logos: Add your logo anywhere on the equipment; just send us a PSD or AI file and our team will handle the rest.
Materials & Accessories: Select different materials, grips, and attachments to personalize your machines.

This level of flexibility ensures that whether you're outfitting a boutique studio or a large-scale fitness chain, YR can tailor the equipment to your identity.

Quality That Defines Standards

YR Fitness is recognized as one of top fitness equipment supplier in China, delivering quality that competes directly with international premium brands. In an industry where some manufacturers cut corners, YR Fitness sets the bar for quality.

While many brands use 1.8–2.5 mm tubing, we insist on Q235 steel with a 3.0 mm wall thickness, which is 2–3 times stronger and compliant with ASTM F1250 standards. This thickness refers to the raw material itself—not the coated measurement that some suppliers use to mislead buyers.

Every detail of our machines is built for durability, safety, and aesthetics:

Lifetime warranty on main frames, far exceeding the typical 10-year industry standard.
German robotic laser cutting and welding for flawless construction.
Hidden screw nuts for a smooth, safe, and modern finish.
Industrial-grade sealed bearings, tested for over 30 years of performance with zero complaints.
Steel cables tested at 300 kg for 24 hours nonstop—over 28,800 pulls without breaking.
Electrostatic powder coating and stainless/aluminum parts proven to resist sweat corrosion.
High-density foam (57–67 kg/m³) and premium PVC upholstery: sweat-proof, crack-resistant, and built to last.

This attention to detail is why gym owners from Malaysia to the U.S. praise our equipment as "very high quality, solid and durable, reasonably priced, and extremely satisfying."

Certified and Globally Compliant

YR Fitness is committed to meeting the highest international quality and safety benchmarks. Our equipment carries multiple globally recognized certifications, including CE, TÜV, and ISO (specifically ISO 20957 standards), ensuring each product—from multi-stations to treadmills—complies with rigorous safety and performance requirements.

We also maintain internationally recognized intellectual property protections, including patents and trademarks registered with bodies such as EUIPO, UK Trademark Office, USPTO (USA), and India IP Office—evidence of our leadership in original product design.

This portfolio of certifications and IP safeguards not only testifies to the safety and quality of YR equipment but also reinforces YR Fitness's position as a leading Chinese manufacturer of commercial gym equipment, competing with global fitness brands.. When you partner with YR, you gain access to gym equipment you can trust—not only today, but for years to come.

Full Product Portfolio

YR offers a complete range of commercial fitness solutions. Our strength equipment is built to combine smooth biomechanics, long-lasting durability, and flexible customization—qualities that make it a strong alternative to international brands.

Strength Machines: Chest press, lat pulldown, 7333 Smith Machine and 7333A 3D Smith Machine, G2050 and G2049 Power Racks, and Pull Over machines like the G2039.
Multi-Stations: 4-station F2001, 6-station 6280A, 9-station F2003, 10-station gyms, and even 14-station F2004 for high-traffic training environments.
Free Weights: Barbells, dumbbells, kettlebells, and weight plates, all designed for commercial use with ergonomic grips and durable finishes.
Cardio: Treadmills, ellipticals, and bikes engineered for heavy-duty gym usage.
Accessories: Battle ropes, resistance bands, yoga mats, and storage systems.

Whether you need a few machines or a complete gym package, YR provides the variety and flexibility to meet your needs. More importantly, YR Fitness is recognized as a one-stop commercial fitness equipment solutions provider. From strength machines to cardio equipment, from free weights to accessories, and even the extra details your gym may require, we deliver everything through our manufacturing capacity and a trusted network of partners. This ensures that every customer receives a complete, seamless solution tailored to their business model and training needs.

Competitive Pricing and Partnership

High quality doesn't have to come at a high cost. As a leading commercial gym equipment manufacturer, YR Fitness delivers big-brand quality at about one-fifth the price of top international brands through our factory-direct model. By removing middlemen, we ensure transparent pricing and faster communication, allowing our customers to access premium equipment without unnecessary markups. To support businesses of every size, we accept trial orders without any minimum quantity, while larger orders can be efficiently managed with a minimum of one 20-foot container.

Beyond pricing, we are committed to building long-term relationships, offering flexible partnership models that include OEM, ODM, distribution, and agency cooperation. With exclusive territory agreements, bulk discounts, and dedicated support from our sales team, our partners gain not only better margins but also a trusted manufacturer standing behind them every step of the way. Choosing YR means choosing reliability, affordability, and a true partnership for growth.

Become a Distributor: Exclusive Benefits with YR

Becoming an authorized YR distributor opens the door to a range of exclusive benefits designed to help you succeed in your market. As our distributor, you enjoy special discounts on all orders, giving you a competitive edge while maximizing your margins.

We provide professional marketing support, including catalogs, images, videos, and social media assets, to help you promote effectively.

As our partner, you'll have guaranteed spare parts support, with free parts provided during the warranty period, ensuring your clients never face downtime.

Most importantly, we see distributors as long-term partners. With YR, you gain not just premium equipment at factory-direct pricing but also a trusted ally committed to your growth and success in the fitness industry.

After-Sales and Warranty

YR's commitment extends far beyond delivery. We are one of the few fitness equipment manufacturers in China to offer a lifetime warranty on main frames, setting a benchmark that surpasses the typical industry standard. For other components, we offer graded coverage—up to eight years on treadmill frames, five years on bars and plates, and specific terms for parts depending on their function and usage. Our 24-hour customer support ensures that clients around the world receive immediate assistance whenever they need it, while our continuous supply of spare parts guarantees that gyms can operate without downtime.

This comprehensive protection, paired with responsive service, makes YR the partner of choice for fitness facilities that demand long-term reliability under high-frequency, heavy-duty conditions.

Our eco-friendly practices include:

Energy-saving design with optimized layout, insulation, and natural lighting.
Efficient production to reduce waste and conserve resources.
Use of sustainable materials, including recycled and ethically sourced options.
Lifecycle assessments to ensure products remain environmentally responsible from production to usage.

Layout Solutions and Quick Quote Tool

Opening a gym is more than buying equipment—it's about designing a space that works. YR provides all commercial gyms with professional layout advice and detailed design drawings, where you simply send us your floor plan (CAD, PDF, or even hand-drawn) and our team delivers a full design within two business days. We optimize for safety, flow, and branding consistency, whether your gym is 80 m² or 1,200 m².

To make procurement even easier, our Quick Quote tool allows you to choose products not only by equipment series but also by the muscle groups you want to target. This gives gym owners complete flexibility: you can decide in advance how many machines you need for legs, shoulders, chest, or back, and then freely mix and match models across different series to build the perfect lineup. Once your selection is complete, simply submit your list and our consultants will provide tailored pricing, customization options, and logistics guidance to help you move forward with confidence.

Guidance for Gym Owners

YR doesn't just sell equipment—we guide gym owners through the entire journey. Our blogs and resources cover everything from how to import gym equipment from China, to buying guides for strength machines, to step-by-step plans for opening gyms in cities, small towns, or even women-only facilities.

We provide checklists, templates, and practical advice on market research, financing, legal setup, layout planning, member retention, and more. For new entrepreneurs, YR is not only a supplier but a strategic partner.

Midea Unveils Flagship Sustainable Innovations at IFA 2025, Strengthening Their Low Carbon Vision

PR NewsWire — Thu, 11 Sep 2025 18:30:20 +0530

BERLIN, Sept. 11, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- At IFA 2025, Midea reaffirmed its "GREEN VISION, BLUE FUTURE" philosophy with a strong lineup of sustainable innovations and low carbon energy technologies. The showcase demonstrated not only the company's R&D capabilities but also its long-term commitment to environmental responsibility in the global HVAC industry.

Pioneering R290 Solutions for the Planet

Taking center stage were Midea's R290 solutions, which the company has championed for over 15 years. Since launching the world's first UN-backed R290 demonstration production line in 2010, Midea has led the global adoption of this eco-friendly refrigerant. Today, it operates 12 advanced R290 production lines with an annual capacity of 6.4 million units, backed by extensive real-world applications that deliver measurable reductions in carbon emissions worldwide.

The company has played an active role in shaping international refrigerant standards, accelerating the use of R290 natural refrigerant across the industry. Supported by over 10,000 R&D experts and 42 pilot laboratories, Midea offers a complete R290 product portfolio. One highlight is the H-Pack indoor hybrid heat pump, developed by Midea's European R&D and design team. Using R290 refrigerant, it combines high energy efficiency with a compact design and no outdoor unit. Its hybrid function allows seamless integration with gas boilers, ensuring reliable heating even in extreme cold. A clear example of Midea's vision of driving a greener future through technology.

Raynor: Nordic Performance Meets Design Excellence

Also in the spotlight was Raynor, Midea's flagship low temperature air-to-air heat pump. Boasting an A+++ energy rating and an industry leading SCOP of 5.1, Raynor ranks among the most efficient heat pumps on the market. Prototype testing demonstrated its ability to operate reliably at temperatures as low as -40°C, sustaining a 5.0 kW full heating capacity at -25°C and reaching up to 8.0 kW at peak output.

Raynor is designed to deliver exceptional durability and efficiency, even in the demanding conditions of Nordic coastal regions. Its advanced antifreeze and anti-corrosion technology, featuring Prime Guard Hyper Grapfins, a specially engineered chassis with a heating bottom plate, and Flash Defrost long lasting ceramic ball bearings, ensures reliable performance in extreme cold and humidity.

This combination of durability, efficiency, and design innovation has already won Raynor international acclaim, including the iF Design Award and the Red Dot Design Award. At IFA 2025, Leif Lindner, CEO of IFA Management presented the Excellent Heating Technology Innovation Gold Award to Vincent Chou, Vice President of Midea Residential Air Conditioning and Ralph Kobsik, General Manager of Midea Europe GmbH, further underscoring the product's leadership in next generation heating solutions.

Solstice: AI-Driven Comfort

At the core of Solstice is Midea's latest AI engine, ECOMASTER. Pretrained on billions of data points, ECOMASTER predicts environmental changes and optimizes energy use with remarkable precision. This allows the Solstice to maintain precise comfort within ±0.3°C while cutting energy consumption by over 30%.

Midea has announced its plan to collaborate with Microsoft in order to offer natural voice control through AI. Powered by Microsoft Azure, the technology would allow users, speaking in any one of 145 supported languages, the ability to interact in everyday language with their air conditioner.

Japan House London Announces Hyakkō: 100+ Makers from Japan

PR NewsWire — Thu, 11 Sep 2025 18:30:16 +0530

3 December 2025 – Spring 2026

A celebration of Japan's thriving contemporary craft landscape, representing over 120 makers whose work demonstrates beauty in the everyday.
Nearly 2,000 items showcase the breadth of craft practices from across the country, encompassing materials such as clay, glass, wood, leather and metal.
Visitors can discover how contemporary Japanese craft is informed, yet not confined, by tradition, while appreciating the subtle influence of both the maker's individuality and surrounding environment.
Organized by Ryohin Keikaku Co., Ltd. (MUJI) and hosted at Japan House London, the exhibition was first presented at ATELIER MUJI GINZA in Tokyo.
Select items by makers represented in the show are also on sale in the Japan House London Shop.

LONDON, Sept. 11, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Today [Thursday 11 September] Japan House London announces its forthcoming exhibition, Hyakkō: 100+ Makers from Japan opening on Wednesday 3 December 2025.

Japan has long been associated with a rich culture of craft, with many practices such as urushi (lacquerware) and metalwork being passed down through generations, often as the result of strict apprenticeships. Historically, the expensive products of many of these more formal crafts were out of reach for most and were often created more as objects to be admired rather than to actually be used.

In the 1920s, the mingei (folk craft) movement turned people's attention to the crafts of the people, focussing on the beauty of hand-crafted, utilitarian objects. Integral to this philosophy was the perceived anonymity of the craftspeople – the emphasis being on the item rather than its maker.

Hyakkō: 100+ Makers from Japan represents a new development in the way we appreciate the craft of the everyday, recognizing and honouring the maker at the same time as elevating the value of their work. Inviting over 120 makers from across Japan - artists, makers and self-taught practitioners alike – it presents as many as 2,000 individual works, each achieving harmony between form and function.

Rather than being limited to a single material, craft or technique, the exhibition gathers works in clay, glass, wood, leather and metal, among others - each piece bearing traces of the maker's individuality, their surrounding environment, and the inherent character of the material. The result is a panoramic snapshot of Japan's craft landscape today, where makers reference past traditions while bringing their own individual expression to the pieces they create.

Visitors can discover:

Hundreds of beautifully hand-crafted items designed for everyday life including glassware, ceramic vases, bamboo cutlery, copper pots and woven baskets.
Multimedia insights into the lives and processes of makers, offering glimpses into the creative energy behind each piece and the environments that inspire them.
A rich season of events including talks, tours, demonstrations and hands-on workshops exploring the intersection of craft and daily life.
Works for sale from over 30 of the featured makers in the Japan House London Shop.

Organized in collaboration with Ryohin Keikaku Co., Ltd. (MUJI) and curated by Nagata Takahiro, this exhibition was originally presented in 2023 at ATELIER MUJI GINZA, the gallery space at the top of Muji's six-storey flagship store in Tokyo. Now reimagined for London audiences, Hyakkō: 100+ Makers from Japan is part of a cultural initiative by Ryohin Keikaku that celebrates art and culture in everyday life. The exhibition honours the strength of creativity that continues to grow across Japan - diverse, vast and interconnected.

Simon Wright, Director of Programming at Japan House, said:

"Hyakkō: 100+ Makers from Japan presents the privileged opportunity for audiences outside Japan to experience how contemporary Japanese makers are interpreting deep-rooted cultural notions of beauty. It shows how tradition is always evolving, informing the present and the future through a matrix of relationships between maker, object and user. As people's daily lives change, so do the objects they use. Echoing the words of the 13^th-century Japanese writer Kamo no Chōmei, in his Hōjōki (An Account of My Hut):
"The flow of the river never ceases, and yet the water is never the same."

Each work in the exhibition carries with it the story of its maker, whether shaped by the local environment or a personal history. By bringing together over a hundred voices from Japan, the exhibition highlights not only the richness and ingenuity of these practices, but also the beauty found in the everyday. We hope visitors will see this craft not simply as objects, but as an invitation to reflect on ways of living that connect creativity, community and care."

This exhibition is produced in conjunction with Ryohin Keikaku Co., Ltd. The exhibition is due to appear at Japan House Los Angeles and Japan House São Paulo in 2026 and 2027.

New York City Streetwear Brand FRIED RICE Launches Asia Pop-Up and Expansion Plan

PR NewsWire — Thu, 11 Sep 2025 18:30:10 +0530

NEW YORK, Sept. 11, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- New York City–based streetwear label FRIED RICE announced the launch of its Asia pop-up at K11 ECOAST, Shenzhen on Saturday, August 30, 2025. The one-year showcase, open daily until 10:00 PM through August 2026, is positioned as a solid foothold for the brand's planned expansion into Asia—centered on connecting with likeminded creative communities in the region.

"When K11 reached out us, it was clearly the next step forward for our efforts to bring FRIED RICE to Asia," said Maya Wang, Founder & Creative Director of the brand. "We're here to learn, to collaborate, and to celebrate creative dreams with the people we meet along the way. This pop-up is as much about making heart to heart connections as it is a place to shop."

The FRIED RICE showcase channels a clean, industrial "NYC artist loft" vibe and intentional interactive space for a gallery style retail experience. The shop will feature the FRIED RICE seasonal collections alongside special drops, with ongoing programming designed to bring together local creators, DJs, artists, and culture-minded audiences.

Underscoring FRIED RICE's obsession with creating deeply-felt artistic and cultural experiences, the pop-up includes a custom DJ booth with vinyl turntables and a sound system imported from Japan featuring vintage 1970s Altec-Lansing Mantaray speakers.

Launch Programming

Opening-weekend music featured vinyl DJ YEYE, Mic Check12 from Hangzhou's Future Sounds DJ crew, local DJ favorite Big Joe, and DJ MauroBel—by way of Bogotá, Colombia and New York —performing live with percussionist Mark Ayos.

What's Next

The K11 pop-up kicks off a broader Asia expansion strategy for founder Maya Wang and team. In addition to the pop-up, the brand is currently assessing distribution, live retail broadcast and retail licensing partnership opportunities in the region, with an early stage focus on the Japan, China and Korea markets. A Tokyo pop-up is in the works for 2026. Additionally, the brand has plans to attend its 3^rd consecutive Asia ComplexCon in Hong Kong in early 2026.

Community Voices

DJ Mauricio Beltrán (MauroBel / DANTE), Opening-Night Performer:
"As someone who was born in New York, grew up in Bogotá Colombia and spent years DJing across Asia and Latin America, I naturally relate to the FRIED RICE ethos and celebrating this beautiful 'mix' of creative and cultural perspectives we get to interact with in our lives. In this community we live that daily."

Arun Ramanathan, Director, Mixmag Asia:
"So many of us have had our eye on Maya Wang and her brand FRIED RICE since encountering them at the last two ComplexCon Hong Kong events. No doubt they will continue to grow as an impactful force for bringing together unique creative voices and communities around the world."

"We are so proud to share the thesis collections of our 18 Master of Fine Arts graduates during New York Fashion Week," said Cathleen Sheehan, chair and professor, Fashion Design MFA program, FIT. "The show represents the finale of their FIT journey as they launch their careers and join the ranks of our award-winning program alumni. We look forward to seeing what they do next."

The designers shared the following collective statement: "Act 5 marks the closing chapter of our shared journey as FIT Fashion Design MFA students—a time defined by experimentation, introspection, and vision. Like the fifth act of a play, this moment is one of resolution, reflection, transformation, and revelation. Although we have arrived at this point through different stories and paths, we are bound by a shared purpose: to push fashion beyond the familiar and into the realm of dialogue. Each designer brings a distinct world to life, united by a desire to stretch the limits of what fashion can express—across memory, culture, technology, and form. From the deeply personal to the radically futuristic, our studio unfolds onto a stage—offering a view of who we have become and a bold introduction to what comes next. Together, we invite you to our final act as a class—not an ending, but the moment before the curtain lifts once more."

FIT's Fashion Design MFA is the newest of seven programs in its School of Graduate Studies.

TORONTO, Sept. 10, 2025 /PRNewswire/ - Silverts, North America's leading adaptive apparel brand with nearly 100 years of expertise in accessible fashion, announces the acquisition of IZ Adaptive, the award-winning adaptive clothing line founded by Canadian designer Izzy Camilleri. This strategic move unites two pioneers in adaptive fashion to accelerate innovation, expand distribution, and provide stylish, functional clothing to a broader demographic across North America.

Under the new structure, IZ Adaptive will retain its own brand identity and dedicated website, while Silverts will lead supply chain, sourcing, and distribution operations.

"IZ Adaptive was founded to make great-looking, well-fitting clothing accessible to everyone," said Camilleri. "Joining forces with Silverts allows us to reach more people than ever and continue setting the standard for inclusive fashion."

Reduce transit times across Canada to 2–3 days, including the West Coast.
Lower shipping costs for consumers.
Increase inventory capacity to better serve individuals, nursing homes, and wholesale partners.
Enhance overall customer experience and operational efficiency.

"With Izzy's visionary design leadership and Silverts' nearly century-long operational expertise, we are creating modern, accessible clothing at scale and strengthening our leadership in adaptive fashion."

This announcement serves as a drumbeat to the hugely successful July launch of the legacy B.E. Collection, which is a first-of-its-kind adaptive fashion capsule with influencer and disability advocate Brooke Eby.

Fenimore Art Museum presents Exploring Calvin & Hobbes

PR NewsWire — Wed, 10 Sep 2025 21:30:33 +0530

The Comic Strip that Transcends Generations and Imaginations Comes to Cooperstown

COOPERSTOWN, N.Y., Sept. 10, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Fenimore Art Museum is pleased to present Exploring Calvin & Hobbes, beginning Saturday, September 13, 2025 and on view through December 31, 2025. Exploring Calvin and Hobbes revisits the beloved comic strip created by Bill Watterson from 1985 to 1995 and explores his mastery of the comic strip art form through engaging characters, thoughtful writing and creative layouts.

The exhibition will feature original Calvin and Hobbes daily and Sunday strips as well as specialty pieces by Watterson from his collection of more than 3,000 originals housed at the Billy Ireland Cartoon Library & Museum at The Ohio State University. Calvin and Hobbes appeared in 2,400 newspapers worldwide at the height of its popularity. Watterson won the National Cartoonists Society's prestigious Reuben Award for "Outstanding Cartoonist of the Year" in both 1986 and 1988.

Six-year-old Calvin, named after the 16th-century theologian John Calvin, has a vivid imagination; an aversion to homework, chores and girls; and a penchant for discussing the meaning of life. Hobbes, named for the 17th-century British philosopher Thomas Hobbes, appears to most of the strips' characters as a stuffed animal, but from Calvin's perspective, he is a living, breathing—sometimes even dangerous—tiger. He's also a best friend, a playmate, a co-conspirator and occasionally the voice of reason. The strip follows the two as they navigate the bumpy ride of life, surrounded by a supporting cast that includes Calvin's parents, his neighbor Susie, his babysitter Rosalyn, the school bully Moe and his teacher, Mrs. Wormwood.

Exploring Calvin and Hobbes will delight fans of the strip, which remains popular with readers of all ages. In addition to the exhibition, which will be housed in Scriven Gallery, the East Gallery will feature an interactive children's makerspace complete with a drawing table, activity guide, and life-size adaptations off the beloved duo, Calvin & Hobbes.

To further expand the visitor experience, several workshops and programs have been planned, including:

Tiger Portrait Needle Felting Workshop | September 20, 2025
Food for Thought, Exploring Calvin & Hobbes | September 24, 2025
Family Sketch and Nature Walk, Inspired by Calvin & Hobbes | September 27, 2025
Exploring Calvin & Hobbes with Special Guest, Jenny E. Robb | October 18, 2025
Comin Strip Workshop for Kids (9-12) | October 19, 2025
Calvin & Hobbes Inspired Costume Contest & Trick or Treating at Fenimore Farm | October 25, 2025
Food for Thought, Exploring Calvin & Hobbes | November 5, 2025

This exhibit was curated by Jenny E. Robb, Head curator for the Billy Ireland Cartoon Library & Museum. This traveling exhibition was organized by The Ohio State University Libraries' Billy Ireland Cartoon Library & Museum.

This project is supported through a Market New York grant awarded by Empire State Development and I LOVE NY, New York State's Division of Tourism. Additional support comes from The Clark Foundation, Mr. Tom Morgan and Ms. Erna J. McReynolds.

Edifier Launches T5s Powered Subwoofer with Deep Bass, Precision DSP, and Slim Design

PR NewsWire — Wed, 10 Sep 2025 21:30:30 +0530

Powerful 70W RMS Output with 35Hz Low-Frequency Response and Versatile Connectivity Options

RICHMOND, BC, Sept. 10, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Edifier, a global leader in premium audio technology, proudly announces the launch of the T5s Powered Subwoofer, a compact yet powerful addition designed to deliver deep, immersive bass and seamless integration for any audio setup. Equipped with an 8" front-firing long-throw woofer and closed-loop Class-D amplifier with 70W RMS output, the T5s delivers low frequencies down to 35Hz with clarity and control. With versatile connectivity and a sleek MDF cabinet in black, brown, the T5s offers high-performance sound in a space-saving design.

Deep and Powerful Bass

The Edifier T5s is engineered to bring your audio to life with deep, room-filling bass. Featuring an 8-inch long-throw woofer, it reaches down to 35Hz for rich, immersive low-end response. Its high-efficiency switching power supply and closed-loop Class-D amplifier deliver a solid 70W RMS output, ensuring powerful, consistent performance with every beat.

Precision Digital Signal Processing

The Edifier T5s combines a high-performance analog front end with a digital amplifier to deliver accurate audio conversion and amplification. Its built-in digital signal processor (DSP) ensures precise low-pass filtering and phase alignment, allowing for seamless integration with your existing speaker system and a smooth, balanced listening experience.

Low Distortion Design

Crafted from 18mm medium-density fiberboard (MDF), the T5s enclosure is built to reduce resonance and minimize distortion. This solid construction ensures tight, clean, and well-defined bass, allowing the subwoofer to deliver a more accurate and impactful low-end performance.

Versatile Connectivity

The Edifier T5s offers flexible connectivity options with Signal In and Signal Out ports, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of audio setups, including desktop speakers, bookshelf systems, and home theatre receivers.

Method 1: If your main speaker system has a dedicated subwoofer output, simply connect it to the T5s's Signal In ports. The main speakers can remain directly connected to the audio source.
Method 2: For systems without a subwoofer output, connect the audio source to the T5s's Signal In ports, then use the Signal Out ports to feed the signal to your main speaker system. This allows the subwoofer to integrate smoothly into virtually any setup.

Auto Standby and Stylish, Space-Saving Design

The Edifier T5s combines smart energy-saving with elegant aesthetics. It automatically enters standby mode after 15 minutes of inactivity and instantly wakes when audio resumes, helping conserve power without interrupting your listening experience. Wrapped in a wood grain vinyl finish with a low-profile grille, its slim vertical cabinet design blends seamlessly into any room décor and fits comfortably in tight or unconventional spaces.

Four in Five U.S. Voters Say Sports Events Contracts Should Be Regulated Like Other Online Sportsbooks

PR NewsWire — Wed, 10 Sep 2025 21:30:27 +0530

WASHINGTON, Sept. 10, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- The American Gaming Association (AGA) today released new research showing strong sentiment that sports events contracts offered through prediction markets—online platforms where users wager on the outcomes of future events—should be regulated in the same way as other forms of legal, state-regulated sports betting. The study also shows that the public overwhelmingly view them as a form of gambling that requires oversight.

Key Findings:

Americans overwhelmingly recognize sports events contracts as gambling, not financial instruments. 85% say sports events contracts are most like gambling, while only 6% believe they are most like a financial instrument.
Most Americans want sports events contracts regulated like other forms of sports betting. 80% say that sports event contracts should be regulated like other online sports betting and 65% believe these bets should be overseen by state and tribal gaming regulators, not the federal Commodities Futures Trading Commission (CFTC).
Adults agree that sports events contracts should only be offered by state-licensed sportsbooks. 84% of Americans, and 69% of sports bettors, say that sports events contracts should only be available in state-licensed sportsbooks in the states where they are offered. 69% of Americans believe each state should have a say on whether sports events contracts can be offered in their state.
Americans recognize prediction platforms offering sports event contracts are skirting the law. 70% say prediction platforms offering sports event contracts are exploiting loopholes to act as unlicensed sportsbooks.

"This research has made it clear: Americans know a sports bet when they see one—and they expect prediction markets offering sports event contracts to be held to the same rules and consumer safeguards as every other state-regulated sportsbook," said AGA President and CEO Bill Miller. "This underscores the need for the CFTC to enforce and uphold its own regulations that prohibit gaming contracts, and for Congress to use its oversight power to ensure prediction markets are not used as a backdoor for gaming."

With sports betting currently operational in 38 states and Washington, D.C., AGA's research emphasizes the need for consistent oversight of emerging gaming products to maintain consumer trust and uphold responsible gaming standards.

Methodology
YouGov, on behalf of the AGA, conducted an online survey from August 1-8, among a nationally representative sample of 2,025 registered voters. The margin of error is +/- 2 percent and greater among subgroups.

About the AGA
As the national trade group representing the U.S. casino industry, the American Gaming Association (AGA) fosters a policy and business environment where legal, regulated gaming thrives. The AGA's diverse membership of commercial and tribal casino operators, sports betting and iGaming companies, gaming suppliers, and more lead the $329 billion industry and support 1.8 million jobs across the country.

Discovery Park of America's 1913 Locomotive Undergoes Major Restoration

PR NewsWire — Wed, 10 Sep 2025 11:00:11 +0530

UNION CITY, Tenn., Sept. 9, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Discovery Park of America has completed a major restoration of its historic 1913 steam locomotive, No. 1149, and passenger cars, made possible by funding from the Robert E. and Jenny D. Kirkland Foundation. The work on the locomotive was performed by Baynum Solutions, which specializes in restoring historic assets, amusement attractions and industrial structures with a focus on precision and long-term preservation. The total project budget exceeded $500,000.

No. 1149's history is as remarkable as the machine itself. Built in Sweden in 1913, the locomotive was part of the Swedish State Railways' celebrated B-class, known for speed, reliability and graceful lines. In its prime, it hauled express passenger trains through Sweden's rolling countryside and dense forests, carrying business travelers, schoolchildren, soldiers and tourists. At that time, steam power was the heartbeat of the nation's transportation network, and No. 1149 was one of its proud workhorses.

Decades later, during the Cold War, the locomotive was placed in underground caves as part of Sweden's strategic reserve, kept ready to run if oil prices soared or supply lines were threatened. In 1995, Maine telecommunications pioneer Bert Clifford brought it across the Atlantic to operate on his Belfast and Moosehead Lake Railroad. The locomotive later joined the Great Smoky Mountains Railroad, but the high cost of restoration kept it sidelined until 2013, when Robert Kirkland purchased No. 1149 and brought it to Discovery Park of America.

"No. 1149 is more than steel and paint — it's a tangible link to the golden age of steam," said Jennifer Wildes, senior director of collections and exhibits at Discovery Park. "Its century-long journey from Scandinavian rails to Maine's pine country to West Tennessee is a story worth preserving, and this restoration ensures it will be here for generations to come."

Baynum Solutions' work included stripping away years of wear, repairing metal, replacing damaged wood in the cab and restoring every surface inside and out. Vapor blasting removed rust while minimizing dust, and nearly 300 gallons of industrial-grade coating was applied to match the locomotive's original 1913 color scheme. The project also included roof restoration on Discovery Park's three 1960s-era passenger cars.

Guests at Discovery Park will now be able to experience the locomotive much as it looked when it rolled out of Swedish workshops more than 110 years ago. "This project represents our commitment to caring for every artifact in our collection to the highest standards," Wildes said. "When guests see No. 1149 after this transformation, they'll be experiencing history brought vividly back to life."

A restoration recap video is available on Discovery Park's YouTube channel.

About Discovery Park of America

The mission of Discovery Park of America, a premier world-class museum and heritage park located in Union City, Tennessee, is to inspire children and adults to see beyond. Included is a 100,000-square-foot museum featuring 9 interactive exhibit galleries with additional space for temporary exhibits from around the world and a 50-acre heritage park. Discovery Park of America is a 501(c)(3) public charity funded by generous individuals, corporations and foundations including its principal funder, the Robert E. and Jenny D. Kirkland Foundation.

Inter-Die Gapfill Tool Expands Industry-Leading Portfolio of Solutions for 3D Integration and Chiplet Technologies; Paves Way for New, AI-Accelerating Architectures

FREMONT, Calif., Sept. 9, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Lam Research Corp. (Nasdaq: LRCX) today unveiled VECTOR^® TEOS 3D, a breakthrough deposition tool engineered specifically for the advanced packaging of next-generation chips required for artificial intelligence (AI) and high-performance computing (HPC) applications. TEOS 3D is purpose-built to solve critical challenges in 3D stacking and high-density heterogeneous integration. It provides ultra-thick, uniform, inter-die gapfill, leveraging a proprietary bowed wafer handling approach, innovations in dielectric deposition, and enhanced monitoring by Lam Equipment Intelligence^®technology. TEOS 3D is installed at leading logic and memory fabs around the world.

"VECTOR TEOS 3D deposits the industry's thickest, void-free, inter-die gapfill films, customized to meet the challenging requirements of advanced die stacking integration schemes, even on ultra-stressed, high-bow wafers," said Sesha Varadarajan, senior vice president of the Global Products Group at Lam Research. "It's another powerful addition to our best-in-class advanced packaging portfolio, which delivers the differentiated, atomic-level innovations chipmakers need to scale beyond Moore's Law and into the AI era."

Addresses Manufacturing Pain Points
The explosive growth of AI is driving the need for new devices that can support increasingly data-intensive workloads. Chipmakers are turning to 3D advanced packaging to integrate multiple dies into chiplet architectures to enable AI compute. By bringing memory and processing closer together to optimize electrical pathways, chiplet designs can improve processing speed, and pack more power into smaller form factors. However, as chiplets scale taller and become more complex, they present a range of new manufacturing hurdles, from stress during processing that can distort or bow a wafer's shape, to cracks and voids in films that cause defects and lower yield.

TEOS 3D conquers a range of critical advanced packaging production challenges, excelling at handling bulky, high-bow wafers precisely and reliably. With nanoscale precision, it deposits specialized dielectric films of up to 60 microns thick between dies, with scalability to deposit films greater than 100 microns. The films provide essential structural, thermal and mechanical support to prevent common packaging failures such as delamination. TEOS 3D also features Lam's novel clamping technology and an optimal pedestal design that provides exceptional stability when processing thick wafers, enabling uniform film deposition even when dealing with extreme wafer bow.

Other highlights include:

The first solution for single-pass processing of crack-free films more than 30 microns thick, significantly enhancing yield and process time.
Unique quad station module (QSM) architecture to boost productivity: Lam's proven QSM architecture features four distinct stations to enable parallel processing and reduce bottlenecks. The modular design helps deliver nearly 70%¹ faster throughput and up to 20% improvement in cost of ownership compared to Lam's previous generation of gapfill solutions.
Lam Equipment Intelligence^® technology for process repeatability: Built into TEOS 3D, Equipment Intelligence solutions boost equipment performance and reliability, and drive yield improvement by using smart technology to monitor processes, fix issues faster, and automate routine tasks.
