Keller’s Arthroplasty procedure saves diabetic patients foot in Apex Group of Hospitals

Mumbai- In India there are nearly 101 million Diabetic patients. Out of these patients 20% used to develop foot ulcers in their lifetime. According to WHO, diabetes is a major cause of blindness, kidney failure, heart attacks, stroke and lower limb amputations. Foot ulcer is the pivotal event which leads to major amputations in Diabetic patients. So, the prevention of ulcer and if ulcer is there then healing of ulcer and prevention of recurrence is the most important strategy to prevent these amputations in Diabetic patients. Commenting on this Dr. Shrikant Bhoyar, Diabetic Foot Surgeon from Apex Superspeciality Hospital, Borivali says, “About 85% of ulcers are because of Neuropathy. Neuropathy makes the foot insensate and small injuries go unnoticed which later becomes the cause of major amputations. 45-year-old diabetic patient from Mira Road admitted in Apex Superspeciality Hospital, Borivali for foot ulcer treatment, as many doctors suggested amputation surgery. We decided to conduct Keller’s arthroplasty procedure which is a procedure to remove bone from the spot where your big toe joint meets the metatarsal bone and replace it with soft tissue. In this case Keller’s arthroplasty 6 mm to proximal 1/3 of proximal phalanx bone is cut releasing all the adhesions and insertion of tendon on the base of proximal phalanx saving the blood supply and flexor and extensor tendons inserting at the base of distal phalanx. The patient is discharged after 48 hours of surgery and advised not to put pressure or weight on the operated foot for at least 10 days. This procedure is often done when your toe joint is affected by ulcer or wound. A Keller’s gap arthroplasty can help to heal this Inter phalangeal ulcer almost permanently and help you use your foot more freely.”

Dr. Shrikant Bhoyar

Dr. Shrikant Bhoyar further added that we have operated on about 38 cases of IP joint ulcers. The 1 st case was operated 6 years back and not a single patient has come back with recurrence. So, I can say that and supported by the data world over the treatment of this simple looking ulcer is Kellers’s gap arthroplasty to get almost permanent relief from this ulcer and prevent further complications. Neuropathy also makes the joints stiff and alters the biomechanics of the foot leading to focal points of increased pressure which again becomes the cause of ulceration. The Great Toe ulcers form 33% of all the ulcers in Diabetic patients. If not treated early the ulcers can become the cause of infection and amputation of the Great toe and of the leg. The main causative factors of ulceration are Neuropathy , vasculopathy and limited joint mobility. Prolonged hyperglycemia contributes to all these factors. In India Neuropathy plays an important part in causation of foot ulcers, so heal the ulcers and prevent amputation whenever possible. There are many preventive surgeries in diabetic patients with ulcers which most of the patients were not aware of which need to be addressed immediately in the Indian healthcare industry.

10 Incredible Bhringraj Oil Benefits For Hair, Skin, And Health

Dr. Blossom Kochhar,

By Dr. Blossom Kochhar, Chairperson Blossom Kochhar Group of Companies

Bhringraj oil, also known as Eclipta alba or False Daisy oil, is a natural herbal remedy that has been used for centuries in Ayurvedic medicine. This oil is renowned for its remarkable benefits for hair, skin, and overall health. Derived from the Bhringraj plant, which is native to India, Bhringraj oil is a potent elixir that offers a wide range of advantages. In this article, we’ll explore ten incredible Bhringraj oil benefits and why it deserves a special place in your beauty and wellness routine.

1. Hair Growth and Hair Loss Prevention: One of the most celebrated benefits of Bhringraj oil is its ability to stimulate hair growth and prevent hair loss. This natural oil helps improve blood circulation to the scalp, nourishes hair follicles, and strengthens the hair, promoting healthier, thicker, and longer locks. Regular use of Bhringraj oil can significantly reduce hair fall and boost hair growth.

2. Reverses Premature Graying: Bhringraj oil is a fantastic remedy for premature graying of hair. It contains compounds that help restore natural hair color by promoting the production of melanin. Massaging this oil into your scalp can help darken premature gray hair and delay the onset of graying.

3. Dandruff Control: Bhringraj oil has antifungal and antibacterial properties that make it effective in controlling dandruff and various scalp infections. Regular application can soothe an itchy scalp and reduce the formation of dandruff, leaving your hair healthy and flake-free.

4. Improves Hair Texture: This oil is rich in essential nutrients that nourish the hair, making it softer, shinier, and more manageable. It repairs damaged hair and promotes overall hair health, leaving your tresses looking lustrous and luxurious.

5. Scalp Health: Bhringraj oil aids in maintaining a healthy scalp by reducing inflammation, relieving dryness, and promoting a balanced oil production. A healthy scalp is crucial for the growth of strong and beautiful hair.

6. Skin Health: While Bhringraj oil is famous for its hair benefits, it also offers advantages for the skin. It can help alleviate skin issues like eczema, psoriasis, and other skin conditions due to its anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties. Massaging it into the affected areas can provide relief and promote skin healing.

7. Reduces Acne and Blemishes: Bhringraj oil’s anti-inflammatory properties can also be beneficial for those with acne-prone skin. Applying it topically can reduce redness and inflammation associated with acne, helping to clear blemishes and leave your skin looking clearer and healthier.

8. Anti-Aging Effects: The antioxidants present in Bhringraj oil help combat free radicals, which can accelerate the aging process. Regular use of this oil can help reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, leaving your skin looking more youthful and radiant.

9. Wound Healing: Bhringraj oil has been traditionally used for wound healing. Its antimicrobial properties aid in preventing infections, while its soothing effects can accelerate the natural healing process of minor wounds, cuts, and burns.

10. Stress Relief: Bhringraj oil has a calming and cooling effect when massaged onto the scalp. This can help reduce stress and promote relaxation, which in turn can have a positive impact on your overall health. Stress reduction can lead to healthier hair and skin as well.

How to Use Bhringraj Oil:

To reap the many benefits of Bhringraj oil, here’s how you can incorporate it into your routine:

  • Hair Massage: Warm the Bhringraj oil slightly and massage it into your scalp and hair. Leave it on for at least 30 minutes, or overnight for better results, before washing it off with a mild shampoo. You can do this 2-3 times a week.
  • Skin Application: For skin benefits, apply a small amount of Bhringraj oil to the affected area and gently massage it in. Leave it on for about 30 minutes, then rinse with warm water. Repeat as needed.
  • Aromatherapy: The soothing aroma of Bhringraj oil can be used for aromatherapy to reduce stress and promote relaxation. Simply inhale the scent or use it in a diffuser.

Bhringraj oil is a versatile and natural remedy that offers a wide range of incredible benefits for hair, skin, and health. Whether you’re looking to improve the condition of your hair, address skin issues, or reduce stress, this Ayurvedic elixir can be a valuable addition to your beauty and wellness routine. Make sure to choose a high-quality, organic Bhringraj oil for the best results, and enjoy the transformative power of this ancient herbal treasure.

Vaishnavi Group to build and lease 3.3 lakh square feet space to Manipal Hospitals in South Bengaluru

 

Bengaluru, 22nd November 2023: Leading real estate developer Vaishnavi Group today announced the expansion of its partnership with Manipal Hospitals, India’s leading multi-specialty hospital chain to develop a built-to-suit hospital in South Bengaluru. This development assumes significance as there has been a significant uptick in the demand for quality infrastructure in the medical and wellness sector to cater to the growing medical needs of citizens.

Spread across a super built-up area of 3.3 lakh square feet, the proposed tertiary care hospital is being designed as a ‘World-class’ hospital with 250 beds offering a comprehensive range of curative and preventive healthcare services to a multitude of patients.

The project, named Vaishnavi Sushrutha, after the great Indian surgeon Sushrutha who is often touted as the ‘Father of Surgery’. Located on Kanakapura Main Road, the construction for the built-to-suit hospital began in March 2022 and will be completed by December 2024, making it one of the most advanced hospitals in the city.

Darshan Govindaraju,

Commenting on the development, Darshan Govindaraju, director at Vaishnavi Group said, “The needs of the medical and wellness industry have significantly evolved over the years and particularly with the COVD-19 pandemic accelerating the health awareness of the public and the introduction of highly specialised healthcare. We are delighted to extend our existing partnership with Manipal Hospitals to develop a built-to-suit hospital with state-of-the-art design to house the most advanced healthcare professionals and equipment. This is also a testament of the industry leaders identifying Vaishnavi as their preferred partner for their highly specialized needs”.

“As an organization committed to improving public health through industry-first medical interventions, we have been constantly identifying opportunities to provide enhanced healthcare across the city. In line with this, we are glad to work on our newest hospital on Kanakapura Main Road in partnership with the Vaishnavi Group.,” said spokesperson of Manipal Hospitals.

According to a report by international property consultant CBRE titled, “The Evolving Indian Healthcare Ecosystem”, India will require 1.3 billion square feet of additional healthcare space by 2030. The country will require 2.9 million additional hospital beds to reach the current global average of 3.2 beds per 1,000 persons. This assumes significance as India is fast becoming a popular destination among medical tourists coupled with a strong demand for private healthcare providers in both rural and urban centers, and the shift from disease cure to prevention and wellness are expected to drive this sector to greater heights in the future.

Abbott Launches New PediaSure with Nutri-Pull System to Help Support Catch-Up Growth and Overall Health in Children

New PediaSure

Thane & Navi Mumbai(S.N)/BENGALURU, India, 21st November 2023 – Proper nutrition is critical to help children grow and reach their full potential, yet worldwide there are approximately 149 million stunted children below the age of five—and one-third, or 40.6 million, are in India.[i],[ii] Abbott, the global healthcare company, today announced the launch of new PediaSure with Nutri-Pull system to support children’s growth and development. The Nutri-Pull system is a unique combination of ingredients like vitamin K2, vitamin D, vitamin C and casein phosphopeptides (CPPs), which help support catch-up growth amongst children through the absorption of key nutrients.

Malnutrition in children can be caused by insufficient dietary intake, suboptimal nutrient absorption, or inefficient utilization of nutrients, and may result in both short- and long-term negative health outcomes. Undernutrition can take on many forms including stunting (low height-for-age), underweight (low weight-for-age) and wasting (low weight-for-height). Stunting has long-term effects on both individuals and societies, including poor cognition and educational achievement, lost productivity, and negative impacts on overall health. It can prevent children from reaching their full potential in life.

Nutrition plays a crucial role in addressing malnutrition and stunting challenges. Addressing undernutrition early can help mitigate growth issues and ensure children reach their full developmental capacity. If a child’s nutritional intake is falling short, a doctor or a registered dietitian can provide helpful tips to improve their diet. A nutritional supplement drink, like PediaSure, can also help.

PediaSure is a clinically proven and scientifically-designed nutritional supplement to promote childhood growth. Its unique formulation delivers protein and key growth nutrients, and now includes the Nutri-Pull system with added CPPs. Peptides, such as CPPs, are digested and absorbed faster than whole protein and help attract key minerals that are important for growth including calcium, iron, and zinc.

”Protein, vitamins and minerals are key for a child’s growth, yet sometimes only up to 50% of nutrients, like calcium, iron and zinc, may get absorbed from the food a child eats 3,” said Dr. Eileen Canday, PHD Nutrition; RD. ”Casein phosphopeptide is derived from hydrolysis of milk proteins that supports better absorption of these minerals. These minerals may help for a child’s catch-up growth. A combination of a balanced diet and nutritional supplement drinks, when necessary, can help foster holistic growth in children.”

”Abbott has been pioneering research and innovation in science-based nutrition with the goal of improving the health and wellbeing of the people we serve,” said Neil George, General Manager of Abbott’s Nutrition Business in India. ”With the introduction of the new PediaSure, we are delivering the right nutrients and novel ingredients—like CPP—to help children achieve their developmental goals.”

Available in chocolate, vanilla and kesar badam flavors, new PediaSure can be found in the main pharmacies, supermarket, and ecommerce websites. For more information, visit www.pediasure.in
