Gurugram, 15th April 2024: In a pioneering effort to cater to women’s health-related challenges, Fortis Memorial Research Institute, Gurugram today launched a dedicated clinic for the diagnosis and treatment of menopausal healthcare for women. The clinic was inaugurated by Chief Guest Ms Suneeta Mukherjee, Former Health Secretary, Government of India. The clinic will offer various preventive health services such as pap smear tests, mammography, a transvaginal ultrasound, ultrasound of the entire abdomen, gynae consultation, etc. It would be operational on Fridays from 02:00 pm to 04:00 pm.

Most women experience menopause (a life stage marking the end of reproductive years) between the ages of 45 and 52 years as a natural part of biological aging. However, perimenopause – the transitional period can last for years before menopause and up to 1 year after cessation of periods. According to WHO, perimenopausal and postmenopausal symptoms can be disruptive to personal and professional lives, and changes associated with menopause will affect a woman’s health as she ages. Therefore, perimenopausal care plays an important role in the promotion of healthy aging and quality of life.

Speaking at the launch, Prof. Dr Suneeta Mittal, Senior Director and HOD, Obstetrics and Gynaecology, Fortis Memorial Research Institute, Gurugram said, “As per reports, many women in the 40-45 age bracket have started experiencing early menopause and its accompanying symptoms of hot flushes, weight gain, mood swings, irregular bleeding, among others. With women facing a significant burden of various health issues and the launch of this clinic, women can get themselves treated for all health issues, encompassing everything from gynecological health, menopausal health, mental health, diet and weight control, heart, and bone health”

Suneeta Mukherjee, Former Health Secretary, Government of India said “Women make up 50 per cent of the global population, but tend to neglect their own health needs, especially when it comes to menopause. Empowering women starts with addressing their unique needs. Congratulations to Fortis Gurugram for launching a Dedicated Menopause Clinic by filling the crucial gap, by offering specialized preventive care and education, ensuring every woman’s well-being is a priority.”

Mahipal Singh Bhanot, Senior Vice President & Business Head at Fortis Memorial Research Institute, Gurugram said, “We are happy to launch Maitri, Fortis Menopause Clinic, which is a unique step and the need of the hour. The clinic will cater to the needs of the female patients as they transition through this phase with the support of a dedicated multidisciplinary team who are there to guide the patient at every level”

Mumbai, 12th April 2024 – On World Parkinson’s Day, Wockhardt Hospitals Mumbai Central hosted a Parkinson’s disease awareness workshop, its symptoms, and available treatment options. Dr. Sheetal Goyal, Senior Neurologist at Wockhardt Hospitals Mumbai Central, led the discussion, highlighting key aspects of Parkinson’s disease and the hospital’s approach to managing this condition.

Parkinson’s disease is a neurodegenerative disorder that primarily affects movement. She elaborated on the presentation of Parkinson’s disease, emphasizing its hallmark symptoms such as tremors, rigidity, bradykinesia (slowed movement), and postural instability.

During the briefing, Dr. Goyal also addressed the challenge of differentiating Parkinson’s disease from other conditions that mimic its symptoms. “Parkinson’s disease shares symptoms with several other neurological disorders, including essential tremor, multiple system atrophy, and drug-induced Parkinsonism,” she explained. “This similarity underscores the importance of accurate diagnosis by a qualified neurologist.”

Recognizing the early signs of Parkinson’s disease is crucial for timely intervention and management. Dr. Goyal highlighted common early symptoms such as subtle changes in handwriting, decreased sense of smell, sleep disturbances, and mood changes. “Awareness of these early signs can prompt individuals to seek medical attention sooner, facilitating early diagnosis and initiation of appropriate treatment,” she emphasized.

Despite advancements in medical knowledge, Parkinson’s disease is often missed or diagnosed late. She attributed this to various factors including the non-specific nature of early symptoms, lack of awareness among both patients and healthcare providers, and cultural stigmas associated with neurological disorders. “Improving public education and healthcare infrastructure for neurological conditions is essential to address this issue,” Dr. Goyal remarked.

Discussing treatment options, she highlighted that besides traditional medication, several non-pharmacological interventions can help manage Parkinson’s disease effectively. “Physical therapy, occupational therapy, speech therapy, and deep brain stimulation are among the adjunctive treatments that can significantly improve the quality of life for individuals with Parkinson’s disease,” she noted.

Wockhardt Hospitals Mumbai Central is committed to providing comprehensive care for Parkinson’s disease patients. Dr. Goyal emphasized the hospital’s multidisciplinary approach, which integrates medical expertise, rehabilitation services, and patient support programs. “At Wockhardt Hospitals, we do Advanced level treatments for Parkinson’s disease including the use of an Apomorphine pump and Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS). We also prioritize individualized care and holistic management to optimize outcomes for our Parkinson’s disease patients,” she affirmed.

The awareness workshop at Wockhardt Hospitals Mumbai Central served as a platform to enhance awareness and understanding of Parkinson’s disease. Dr. Goyal reiterated the importance of early recognition, accurate diagnosis, and comprehensive management in improving the lives of individuals affected by this challenging condition.

“On World Parkinson’s Day, it is imperative to raise awareness about this debilitating condition and emphasize the significance of early diagnosis and comprehensive care. At Wockhardt Hospitals, we are committed to supporting Parkinson’s disease patients on their journey towards better health and well-being.”

What do tongue colors reveal about health?
The color of the tongue can provide vital information about general health. Here’s a breakdown of what varied tongue colors could imply about health:
1. Pink: A healthy tongue is usually pink, with a thin white coating. This signifies proper circulation and overall health.
2. White Coating: A thick white layer on the tongue may indicate oral thrush (a fungal infection), dehydration, or poor oral hygiene.
3. Red or Strawberry Tongue: A vivid red or strawberry-like look could indicate a vitamin deficiency, Kawasaki disease in children, or scarlet fever.
4. Yellow Coating: A yellowish coating may indicate liver or gallbladder issues, jaundice, or stomach problems.
5. Blue or Purple Tongue: A bluish or purple discoloration may suggest poor circulation, oxygen deprivation, or cyanosis, which can be a sign of underlying health conditions such as heart or lung problems.

What is considered a normal tongue color?
Normal Tongue Color: A healthy tongue is usually pink with a thin white covering. This signifies proper circulation and overall health.

What does it mean to have a black hairy tongue?
Black Hairy Tongue: This ailment arises when the microscopic bumps on the surface of the tongue grow larger, resulting in a black, hairy look. It is frequently caused by poor dental hygiene, smoking, excessive alcohol consumption, or certain drugs. While it may appear alarming, it is mostly harmless and can be managed by improving dental hygiene and treating underlying problems.

Other tongue colors that could be concerning?
Other Concerning Tongue Colors:

• – White Coating: A thick white layer on the tongue may indicate oral thrush (a fungal infection), dehydration, or poor oral hygiene.
• – Red or Strawberry Tongue: A bright red or strawberry-colored tongue could indicate a vitamin deficiency, Kawasaki disease in children, or scarlet fever.
• – Yellow Coating: A yellowish coating on the tongue may indicate liver or gallbladder difficulties, jaundice, or stomach problems.
• – Blue or Purple Tongue: A bluish or purple tint on the tongue may indicate poor circulation, oxygen deprivation, or cyanosis, all of which can be symptoms of underlying health conditions such as heart or lung difficulties.

While changes in tongue color might provide health hints, they should be addressed in conjunction with other symptoms and medical history to ensure an appropriate assessment. If you detect any persistent changes in the color or texture of your tongue, you should speak with a healthcare professional for an accurate diagnosis and treatment.

HYDERABAD, 10th April 2024: 25-year-old Puneeth suffered from thalassemia major, which is a genetic blood disorder characterized by abnormal hemoglobin production and low production of red blood cells since he was only nine. Battling with thalassemia as a child came with multifaceted challenges in Puneeth’s day-to-day activities.

Since Puneeth was diagnosed with this disease in 2008, he has undergone blood transfusions at a charitable hospital on a regular basis. A stem cell transplant was the only curative treatment option for Puneeth’s condition. It was only in 2020 when a Hospital in Bangalore conducted a free HLA typing camp in association with DKMS-BMST at their centre, where Puneeth and his elder brother Prajwal gave their cheek swab sample for HLA (Human Leukocyte Antigen) typing. The result showed that Puneet found a perfect match with his brother.

However, owing to financial constraints, his family was hesitant towards the transplantation. This is where the DKMS BMST Patient Funding program stepped in to help Puneeth successfully undergo his transplant in September 2022 and receive a second chance at life. The transplant yielded success, and the family now looks forward to a positive future ahead.

Puneeth was fortunate enough to find a matching donor in his family, whereas over 70% of the patients diagnosed with blood cancer or blood disorder are unable to find a match and urgently need a matching unrelated donor. DKMS-BMST has a mission to give such patients a second chance at life by registering potential stem cell donors from across India.

Dr. Nitin Agarwal, MD Transfusion Medicine, HOD, Donor Request Management, DKMS BMST Foundation India, said, “India sees a high prevalence of blood cancer and blood disorder cases, with a mortality of over 70,000 and an incidence of over 100,000 annually, significantly impacting our healthcare system. Patients often face numerous challenges, including financial constraints and the lack of awareness about available treatment options. Stem cell transplant is a crucial intervention that offers a ray of hope for patients battling these diseases, providing them second chance at life.”

Patrick Paul, CEO of DKMS BMST Foundation India, said, “Aligned with the theme of World Health Day “My Health, My Right,” we believe that everyone, regardless of background or circumstance, deserves access to quality health services, information, and the resources needed to live a healthy life. Through the Patient funding and and Thalassemia programs, DKMS-BMST has been instrumental in democratising access to stem cell transplantations nationwide. To achieve this, we have created an effective and streamlined program structure so we can help as many patients in need as possible. By alleviating financial constraints and fostering collaborations within the healthcare sector, we strive to empower individuals like Puneeth with the opportunity for enhanced quality of life and renewed hope.”

While advancements in medical science have improved outcomes for blood cancer and blood disorder patients, a significant hurdle remains – the availability of Human Leukocyte Antigen (HLA)–matched stem cell donors. An HLA match is crucial for a successful stem cell transplant, and the likelihood of finding a match is highest among individuals of similar ethnicity.

The current pool of potential stem cell donors is insufficient to meet the needs of all blood cancer and blood disorder patients. This disparity disproportionately affects Indian patients, who have a lower chance of finding a match due to limited donor diversity. Unfortunately, only 0.03% of the Indian population have registered as potential donors. This increases the need for more people of Indian ethnicity to register themselves.

To register as a potential stem cell donor, you must be a healthy Indian adult between 18 and 55. When you are ready to register, all you need to do is complete a consent form and swab the inside of your cheeks to collect your tissue cells. Your tissue sample is then sent to the lab to be analyzed for your HLA (Human Leukocyte Antigen) and listed anonymously on the international search platform for matching stem cell donors. If you’re eligible, register as a blood stem cell donor by ordering your home swab kit at www.dkms-bmst.org/register

Enhanced rock weathering – a nature-based carbon dioxide removal process that accelerates natural weathering – results in significantly higher first-year crop yields, improved soil pH, and higher nutrient uptake, according to a new scientific paper, released in PLOS ONE today.

Enhanced rock weathering (ERW) involves spreading finely crushed silicate rock such as basalt on agricultural land. It is a scalable and permanent climate technology with the potential to sequester gigatonnes of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. Co-authored by scientists at UNDO, a leading enhanced rock weathering project developer, and Newcastle University, the peer-reviewed publication is the latest enhanced rock weathering (ERW) study assessing the impact on crops in a temperate climate.

Dr XinRan Liu, Head of Science and Research at UNDO and co-author of the paper, commented: “Nutrient limitations in agricultural soils are a major concern for farmers about sustaining and increasing crop yields. This latest study highlights how the spreading of basalt rock on farmland can lead to higher crop yields and can be effective in a temperate climate. This research demonstrates the potential for enhanced rock weathering to contribute to improved farmer livelihoods and food production, whilst also removing CO2 from the atmosphere.”

The results from the ongoing trial’s first year demonstrate that the crop yield was on average 15% higher (9.3% and 20.5% between plowed and direct drill amended plots respectively) across two different cultivation techniques.

The trial results also showed a stabilizing effect on the soil pH, with the soil pH being on average 0.2 and 0.29 pH units higher in the basalt-amended plots, compared to the control plots. This change is a result of alkaline products generated as the rock minerals dissolve. The effect of silicate mineral dissolution on the soil pH could represent an attractive agronomic benefit for farmers as an elevated soil pH allows crops to access more nutrients in the soil.

Basalt rock is rich in minerals that slowly release nutrients during dissolution. These nutrients act as a natural soil amendment and are essential for plant growth. The study found higher nutrient concentrations in the crops grown in the basalt-amended soil, including tissue calcium, grain, and tissue potassium, suggesting that ERW can boost nutrient availability for plants and, as a result, may improve crop yield.

Taking account of the unusually dry growing season conditions in 2022, these findings indicate that basalt amendment could enhance productivity and crop yields, contributing to more sustainable and resilient food production systems in the face of future changes in growing season weather as a result of global warming.

Professor David Manning, Professor of Soil Science, Newcastle University, and co-author of the paper, commented: “The results of this trial give further scientific credibility for enhanced rock weathering and greatly improve its value proposition to farmers. Newcastle University is pleased to partner with UNDO. Our joint research into the co-benefits for farmers of basalt amendment is helping to pave the way for the widespread adoption of enhanced rock weathering in the agricultural community.”

The trial results also show no additional toxic elements taken up by crops in the plots where basalt had been spread. There was no negative impact on the natural environment in this trial, which indicates the food produced from it is safe for consumption. UNDO’s basalt has been approved for use in organic farming systems by respected certification bodies such as the Soil Association.

Yit Arn Teh, Professor of Soil Science, Newcastle University, said: “Independent bodies, such as the IPCC and UK Committee for Climate Change, have repeatedly highlighted the urgent need for climate action in the agriculture and land use sector to counter the effects of dangerous climate change. At the same time, the agricultural sector is under increasing pressure to meet key sustainability and environmental targets, against a backdrop of rising farm operating costs, driven by the cost of living crisis.

“Use of enhanced rock weathering to remove carbon dioxide and naturally enhance soil health represents a potential win-win for farmers and climate as this technology is able to capture carbon dioxide while simultaneously supplying some of the key nutrients that crops require for successful growth. By using locally-sourced rocks, rather than inputs (e.g. fertilizers) obtained from overseas, supply chains are also shortened, further reducing the overall carbon footprint of food production.

“Crucially, enhanced rock weathering is a technology that can be readily adopted by the agricultural sector because it does not require farmers to invest in new equipment, technology or training, but simply utilizes the existing equipment and infrastructure for spreading fertilizer or other soil amendments.”

The authors of the paper hope that the agronomic co-benefits of enhanced rock weathering will further incentivize farmers across the UK and worldwide to take advantage of this nature-based carbon removal solution.

When your blood glucose or blood sugar is too high, you might have diabetes. Your body uses glucose as its primary energy source as it can also produce glucose when consumed in daily food. Goji berries are good for treating diabetes, but several individuals are unaware of their benefits or what exactly they are. Goji berries are tiny red fruits that provide extra energy and power because they are rich in beneficial antioxidants. Goji berries have several health advantages as support for immune system function, glycemic management, and anti-aging properties.

Another name for goji berries is Lycium barbarum. The goji berry is indigenous to Asia and has been used as a food supplement for over 2000 years as a medicinal plant. Goji berries may help to regulate blood sugar. Goji berries regulate blood glucose and insulin levels and are associated with higher HDL levels in T2D patients and are also known as “good” cholesterol, HDL.

It is a “superfood” because it has a chemical component called phytochemicals that has polysaccharides, beta-carotene, and zeaxanthin. A study found that the polysaccharides in goji berries enhanced the body’s overall antioxidant activity and bolstered the immune system. Beta-carotene, a compound that gives goji berries their orange-red hue. Zeaxanthin is an essential component that helps to maintain the immune system. Zeaxanthin is thought by several researchers to be able to stop macular degeneration, a progressive visual impairment that develops as the macula, the center portion of the retina, deteriorates.

Goji berries contain dietary fiber that can lower blood sugar levels by delaying the body’s absorption of glucose. It encourages fullness, which can help with weight management and another crucial aspect of managing diabetes. Flavonoids and carotenoids, two types of antioxidants found in these berries, may help lower oxidative stress and inflammation linked to the consequences of diabetes. Goji berries are a healthy addition to a diabetic diet, but moderation is key when consuming them. They are high in calories, just like any other dried fruit, and consuming a lot of them might raise blood sugar levels.

Goji berries should only be added to a diet with caution if you use medication to control diabetes. Blood thinners and medications that lower blood sugar levels may interact with them. Before making any major dietary changes, speak with your healthcare physician. Keep in mind that controlling diabetes entails more than merely consuming or avoiding particular meals. It’s critical to concentrate on eating a well-balanced diet full of entire foods, such as fruits, vegetables, lean meats, and healthy fats. Other crucial aspects of managing diabetes are stress reduction, proper hydration, and regular physical activity.

Goji berries can be incorporated into a diabetic’s diet. Individual needs and preferences do, however, differ, so it’s crucial to speak with a medical professional or certified dietitian for tailored nutritional advice based on your objectives and unique health situation.

According to Preeti Nagar, Dietician at NIIMS College and Hospital, NIU- Goji berries cause blood sugar levels to rise more slowly because of their comparatively low GI. Those who have diabetes may benefit from this, as it helps avoid sharp rises in blood sugar. Iron, zinc, selenium, vitamin C, and other antioxidants are among the many vitamins, minerals, and nutrients that they are high in. These nutrients have the potential to improve general health and may be especially helpful for those who have diabetes, as they may require more nutrients. Goji berries should only be added to your diet with caution if you use medication to control diabetes. Particularly, blood thinners and medications that lower blood sugar levels may interact with them. Before making any major dietary changes, speak with your healthcare physician. It’s critical to concentrate on eating a well-balanced diet full of entire foods, such as fruits, vegetables, lean meats, and healthy fats.
