A study has found that hormonal contraceptives are related with a higher risk of stroke and heart attack. However, researchers from the University of Copenhagen said that while the overall risk remains low, clinicians should consider the potential risks before prescribing them. Following over 20 lakh women in Denmark for more than 10 years, the team found that the most commonly used hormonal contraceptive -- the combined oestrogen-progestin pill -- was associated with double the risk of ischaemic stroke and heart attack. The results translated to one extra stroke for every 4,760 women using the combined pill for one year, and one extra heart attack for every 10,000 women per year of use, the researchers said. They stressed that even though the risk remains low, given the widespread use and seriousness of the conditions, clinicians should consider the potential risks when prescribing hormonal contraceptives. "Use of contemporary oestrogen-progestin and progestin-only contraceptives was associated with an increased risk of ischaemic stroke and, in some cases, myocardial infarction," the authors wrote in the study published in the British Medical Journal. They said that previous studies have found an increased risk of cardiovascular events due to using hormonal contraceptives, but the findings have been inconsistent and outdated. The study also found that non-oral contraceptives, such as the vaginal ring and patch, had higher associated risks. The vaginal ring increased ischaemic stroke risk 2.4-fold and heart attack risk 3.8-fold, while the patch increased ischaemic stroke risk 3.4-fold, the team said.

15 February,2025 09:18 AM IST | New Delhi | PTIJumping workouts may be key to thwart the risk of cartilage damage and boost bone strength in astronauts during long space missions, claimed an animal study on Thursday. The findings, although in mice, comes even as Indian-origin NASA astronaut Sunita Williams is stranded in space since June last year. Williams along with colleague Butch Willmore are stuck in space due to technical problems with Boeing's Starliner which took them to the International Space Station (ISS). Recent experiments by the European Space Agency (ESA) also showed evidence of cartilage degradation in astronauts who spend several months aboard the ISS. The reduced movement can lead to cartilage thinning and cellular clustering -- early indicators of arthritis. The new study, appearing in the journal npj Microgravity, showed that engaging in jumping exercises boosted knee cartilage in mice. Jump training thrice a week also led to thicker, healthier cartilage with normal cellular structure in the animals, said researchers from Johns Hopkins University, US. Healthy cartilage is essential for pain-free movement, as it cushions joints and decreases bone friction. Notably, cartilage damage heals slowly and does not regenerate as fast as other tissue. Prolonged periods of inactivity -- as expected during space travel -- can accelerate cartilage breakdown. This damage can also be accelerated by space radiation. “Since the next step in human exploration of space is going to Mars and spending long periods of time in permanent bases on the moon, cartilage damage is a really major issue that space agencies need to address despite how very poorly understood it is,” said Marco Chiaberge, an astrophysicist at Johns Hopkins University, the Space Telescope Science Institute, and the ESA. “The positive effect we saw in these mice is huge, and the magnitude of it was unexpected. They can basically make their cartilage thicker if they jump. Maybe astronauts could use similar training before their flight as a preventive measure,” he added. In the study, a nine-week programme of reduced movement in mice led to a 14 per cent reduction in cartilage thickness. However, those in the jump-training group had a 26 per cent increase compared to the control group. In addition, the jumping mice had 110 per cent thicker cartilage than the reduced activity group. Jumping also enhanced bone strength by 15 per cent. While more research is needed to confirm whether humans would enjoy the same benefits, the findings offer promising information to protect cartilage and bone structure, said the researchers.
14 February,2025 06:13 PM IST | New Delhi | IANSPrime Minister Narendra Modi's eighth edition of Pariksha Pe Charcha took place on Friday, focusing on the importance of a balanced diet and healthy lifestyle in managing exam stress. The special episode featured renowned experts in nutrition and wellness, including author and macrobiotic nutritionist Shonali Sabherwal, author and nutrition and wellness expert Rujuta Diwekar, and health and nutrition influencer Revant Himatsingka. Moderated by Sharat Bhattatiripad, the discussion provided valuable insights on maintaining a balanced diet and a healthy lifestyle to manage exam stress. Rujuta Diwekar emphasised the importance of variety in one's diet, saying, "As we have different subjects in school, we should have variety in our diet. There are a few food items that are good destressers. They are peanuts, bananas, and rice. These three things must be included in the diet." She also highlighted the benefits of certain food items, such as peanuts, bananas, and rice, in reducing stress. Since 2018, PM Modi has hosted 'Pariksha Pe Charcha' to interact with students, teachers, and parents and provide guidance on managing exam stress. The event is organised by the Department of School Education and Literacy, Ministry of Education. The first three editions took place in New Delhi in an interactive town hall format. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the fourth edition was conducted virtually. Subsequent editions resumed a physical format at Talkatora Stadium, New Delhi.

14 February,2025 05:40 PM IST | New Delhi | ANIDue to increasing work demands, erratic shift schedules, and elevated stress levels, many couples are currently facing challenges in maintaining a healthy intimate relationship and conceiving. Experts report a steady rise in couples seeking help due to intimacy-related concerns stemming from their busy professional lives. Seeking help through ARTs can help couples to conceive. The current work culture often disrupts these natural rhythms, leaving both males and females physically exhausted and emotionally drained. “Long working hours, high stress, and lifestyle imbalances will take a toll on the overall well-being of couples making it challenging for them to engage in meaningful interactions, including intimacy. The quality will not be able to spend quality time together. When physical and emotional closeness is compromised, it can lead to misunderstandings, stress, and even relationship dissatisfaction and the couples will not be able to conceive. Untimely intercourse, lack of quality time, and reduced emotional bonding due to irregular work shifts are becoming increasingly common concerns among couples. Stress hormones like cortisol can impact libido, making it harder for partners to connect intimately. 6 out of 10 couples aged 27-35 complain of lack of intimacy and lower libido due to stress, and hectic lifestyles and are advised to try ARTs such as in vitro fertilization (IVF), In my practice I see 4 – 5 couples a week coming with these issues,” revealed Dr Padma Srivastava, consultant obstetrician & gynaecologist, Motherhood Hospitals, Lullanagar in Pune. Dr Nisha Pansare, fertility specialist at Nova IVF Fertility, Kharadi, in Pune, says, "Couples facing irregular shift timings, long working hours, and high stress often struggle with maintaining intimacy and emotional connection in the relationship. The lack of quality time together can lead to misunderstandings, emotional detachment, and conflicts and will strain the relationship further. Hence, many couples can feel anxious, irritable, burned out, frustrated, loneliness and this can weaken the foundation of their relationship. Many partners feel neglected or disconnected, which can impact trust and emotional security and this again impacts the intimacy. Being constantly stressed increases cortisol, which can interfere with reproductive hormones, affecting ovulation in women and sperm quality in men. Sleep can also impact fertility and lead to challenges in pregnancy, 7 out of 10 couples face intimacy issues due to inability to maintain work-life balance." Dr Padma added, “Addressing these challenges requires conscious efforts, including setting aside quality time, managing stress effectively, and seeking help if needed. There is a need to strike better work-life balance, open communication in relationships, and proactive health management to maintain emotional and physical well-being in relationships.” Dr Nisha added, “To improve conception chances, couples should focus on maintaining a balanced lifestyle. Ensuring adequate sleep, a nutritious diet, and engaging in any physical activity can enhance reproductive health. Managing stress through relaxation techniques like yoga, meditation, or counseling can also support hormonal balance. Seeking advice early can help identify and address any underlying fertility concerns. In vitro fertilization (IVF), intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) can be advised by a fertility consultant for couples who wish to achieve pregnancy.”
14 February,2025 03:43 PM IST | Mumbai | mid-day online correspondentLife can change in an instant. One moment, everything is normal, and the next, something unexpected happens altering the course of one’s future. Such was the case for 66-year-old businessman Gopal Roy from Barasat. A seemingly regular day turned into a never-ending nightmare when he fell off a bike, and a bus ran over his hand injuring it critically. Rushed from one hospital to another, he and his family were repeatedly met with uncertainty. The initial diagnosis was devastating—his hand was mangled beyond repair, bones shattered, and the possibility of amputation loomed over him. They started to lose hope until he was finally transferred to Manipal Hospital, Salt Lake, where a team of expert surgeons made it their mission to save not just his hand, but his way of life. Dr. Arya Roy, consultant - orthopaedic (hand & wrist) surgeon, Manipal Hospital, Salt Lake stated, “In cases like these, the focus is often on saving the patient’s life, and limb injuries take a backseat. But in a super-specialty hospital like Manipal, we ensure every part of the body receives the attention it needs. If Mr. Roy had been brought in even a few hours later, we would not have been able to save his hand. The delicate balance of time and expertise made all the difference.” While his vitals were stable, the damage to his hand was severe. His vitals were stable, but the hand damage was extensive. The operating theater was prepared for a very delicate, high-risk procedure that lasted almost three hours. The goal was obvious—to restore blood flow, stabilise the broken bones, and reconstruct the fingers. The irreparable damage to one of the fingers led to its amputation, but the rest of the hand was salvaged. The initial surgery was just the beginning. Two days later, Roy underwent another procedure under the care of Dr. Sayed Faizal, consultant- plastic and reconstructive Surgery, Manipal Hospital, Salt Lake. He stated, “The injury was extensive. At first, we suspected that flap coverage might be needed, which is often necessary in severe hand trauma cases. However, when we started the procedure, we found that the hand was in better condition than expected. That being said, skin grafting was required, and we meticulously worked to ensure the best possible outcome. Every step of the way, our priority was to restore function.” After a few days, Roy had to undergo another surgery to repair some torn tendons and further reinforce the structure of his hand. Day by day, he kept showing remarkable improvements. Small wins like holding a cup, lifting an object, or even merely feeling in control of his fingers became the new achievements in his recovery. Arpan Roy, the patient’s son, reflected on the ordeal. He shares, “It’s been a long journey, but the way the doctors stood by us made all the difference. When we arrived at Manipal Hospital, we had already been turned away by two other hospitals. The moment we stepped into the emergency room, we knew we were in the right place. Dr. Arya Roy and Dr. Sayed Faizal didn’t just treat my father; they gave us hope. My father’s hand had almost no tissue left in certain areas, but the team refused to give up. They took every possible measure to ensure he would not lose his hand entirely. A special thanks to Dr. Partha Sen, consultant, anaesthesiologist, and his team as well for ensuring my father’s safety throughout the procedure. Their skill and dedication mean that my father now has a second chance.” Although full functionality will take time to return, the doctors are hopeful. In the coming months, Roy will continue rehabilitation and might require some minor corrective procedures, but the foundation for a strong recovery has been already laid. The hand may not regain its original strength, but in five to six months, his hand will be usable—and that by itself is a victory.
14 February,2025 02:43 PM IST | Mumbai | mid-day online correspondentEating home-cooked food, and reducing intake of sugary items and drinks can help boost energy and cut down stress during exams, said experts during the fourth episode of Pariksha Pe Charcha 2025 on Friday. In the episode, experts “share nutrition tips to boost memory, stay energised and improve concentration during exams,” said Prime Minister Narendra Modi in a post on social media platform X. The experts explained the need to cut down the intake of sugar which can increase stress levels. Gut expert Shonali Sabherwal stressed the need to eat home-cooked foods and to include millet in meals, especially breakfast. “Millets can support you for eight hours and also control sugar cravings,” she said. Rujuta Diwekar, author, nutrition and wellness expert said that eating peanuts can be a good stress buster while energy drinks can increase stress. "Children often face digestive issues due to stress, leading to problems like loose motions or constipation. One fruit that works wonders in both cases is a banana, which is available everywhere..." Diwekar said. She also stressed the need to avoid packaged food that contributes to obesity and other related diseases like diabetes and hypertension. Health and nutrition influencer FoodFarmer aka Revant Himatsingka also stressed the need to be aware of what one is eating and how it can affect the health. Sabherwal called for eating high-fibre food, which can boost good microbiota, and to also include nuts. Water intake and proper sleep also was mentioned as an essential stress buster. Diwekar suggested the need for physical activity even during exams, which can not only cut down stress, but will also improve posture. Earlier, Sabharwal told IANS that “children are nowadays eating food more from outside than from home. Their foods which majorly include pizza, burgers, and chocolates significantly increase the sugar levels in the body”. “High intake of these foods can be detrimental not only for physical health but also for mental health. Increased sugar levels can negatively affect your mood and cause brain imbalances,” she said. The health expert suggested eating foods with natural sugars, such as sweet potatoes, beetroot, and carrots. These foods with natural sugars can “keep your mental state in a good condition”.

14 February,2025 01:19 PM IST | Mumbai | IANSWhile anaemia is long known to be caused by iron deficiency, experts on Thursday noted that air pollution and vitamin B12 deficiency have emerged as major culprits behind its increasing prevalence in the country. Anaemia occurs when there isn’t enough haemoglobin in the body to carry oxygen to the organs and tissues. The condition, which mainly affects women and children, leads to the lower count of red blood cells or the haemoglobin. In severe cases, anaemia can cause poor cognitive and motor development in children. “Emerging research has suggested that anaemia in India is not solely due to iron deficiency. Two additional factors warrant attention: air pollution and vitamin B12 deficiency,” Dr K Madan Gopal, a public health expert working at the National Health Systems Resource Center, a premier think tank of the Health Ministry, New Delhi, told IANS. A recent study led by the Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR), published in the peer-reviewed European Journal of Clinical Nutrition, found that iron deficiency contributes only marginally to its prevalence, with the other two factors playing a much larger role in the widespread occurrence of anaemia in the country. Gopal explained that exposure to fine particulate matter (PM2.5) can lead to systemic inflammation. This inflammation interferes with the production and survival of red blood cells, exacerbating anaemia. “Efforts to improve air quality at the community level -- such as local monitoring of pollution sources and public education on pollution mitigation -- can positively impact overall health and, by extension, reduce inflammation-induced anaemia,” the expert said. “Long-term PM2.5 exposure lowers haemoglobin levels by 2-3 per cent, increasing anaemia risk by 12-15 per cent,” Dr. Sabine Kapasi, advisor, United Nations Covid-19 Task Force, told IANS. In addition, vitamin B12 is also crucial for properly forming red blood cells. In populations with predominantly vegetarian diets, inadequate vitamin B12 intake is common. “Over 50 per cent of Indians lack vitamin B12 due to poor diets, leading to megaloblastic anaemia -- marked by weakness, dizziness, and cognitive issues,” Kapasi said. Anaemia remains a significant public health challenge in India. The recent data from the National Family Health Survey (NFHS-5) indicate that approximately 57 per cent of women of reproductive age and 67 per cent of children aged 6-59 months are affected by anaemia. To fight the condition, the government has rolled out Anemia Mukt Bharat which focuses on supplementing diets with iron and folic acid, fortifying staple foods, and strengthening primary healthcare delivery. However, Gopal noted that addressing anaemia requires more than top-down approaches. “At the community level, we must empower local health workers, community leaders, and non-governmental organisations to take ownership of anaemia as a critical health concern. By integrating nutritional education into local outreach programmes, communities can be encouraged to adopt diversified diets and better hygiene practices. Anaemia must become a "felt need" at the grassroots level,” he told IANS. Alongside iron supplementation, the experts also suggested educating communities on the importance of a balanced diet that includes B12-rich foods or fortified alternatives; and early screening for B12 levels. They also urged a holistic approach with the fortification of staples like rice and wheat, targeted nutrition awareness, and tackling environmental triggers like air pollution to fight anaemia.

14 February,2025 10:13 AM IST | Mumbai | IANSA team of doctors in Mira Road have successfully treated a 50-year-old man from Malad with a massive liver cyst measuring over 18 cm and containing 2.2 litres of fluid. The cyst, which occupied nearly 70 per cent of the liver, was compressing vital organs and causing jaundice, necessitating an urgent and complex surgical intervention. Ashok Surti, who was once active and cheerful, found himself grappling with discomfort and uncertainty as the pain and yellowing of his skin intensified. What started as a seemingly mild issue quickly became a cause for concern, leading him to seek medical attention. Little did he know, these symptoms were the result of a rare and life-threatening condition that is a massive cyst in his Liver. He was admitted to Wockhardt Hospitals, Mira Road with alarming symptoms of jaundice and discoloration of his skin. The team was led by Dr Imran Shaikh, consultant GI and HPB surgeon at Wockhardt Hospitals in the suburb. Dr Imran said, “The patient had no prior medical history of liver issues and was living a normal life until the cyst began to cause discomfort and jaundice when an investigation including ultrasound, MRI, and CT scans, confirmed the rare condition, with the cyst threatening to rupture, which could have led to complications such as severe bleeding and sudden death. This was a highly challenging case due to the size of the cyst and its impact on surrounding organs. The benign cyst had grown to replace almost 70 per cent of the liver and was causing compression on the bile duct, leading to jaundice. While hepatic cysts are relatively common, in cases like this, where the cyst grows to such an enormous size and causes symptoms are extremely rare, accounting for less than 1 per cent of cases. The patient was scheduled for Laparoscopic Partial resection of the cyst with drainage of content and decomposition of the bile duct." Dr Imran added, “The surgical procedure was complex due to the risk of intraoperative bleeding and postoperative bile leaks. However, the 2.2-liter cyst was removed without complications. After 2 hours of surgery, the patient responded well to treatment and was discharged in 5 days. The patient is now on the path to recovery after the successful removal of the cyst. He will require regular follow-ups to monitor his liver function but is expected to lead a normal life.” “I am grateful to Dr Imran and his team who gave me a second chance at life. When I was diagnosed with such a massive cyst in my liver, I was filled with fear and uncertainty. I am now on the path to recovery and can look forward to a healthy future,” concluded Ashok.
13 February,2025 01:55 PM IST | Mumbai | mid-day online correspondentCurrently, there is a concerning surge in the problems related to the pancreas in youngsters. A large number of youngsters aged 25-30 are suffering from pancreatitis. Timely diagnosis and treatment for pancreatitis is crucial, delaying care can lead to severe complications, including organ failure. Doctors urge awareness and lifestyle changes to curb the surging cases among youngsters. Dr Narendra Nikam, general surgeon, Lilavati Hospital in Bandra says, ‘‘Pancreatitis is a serious inflammation of the pancreas affecting youngsters. The most common causes include excessive alcohol consumption, gallstones, high-fat diets, and certain medications. Symptoms include severe abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, fever, rapid heartbeat, and digestive issues. Chronic cases may lead to diabetes, nutritional deficiencies, and even permanent pancreatic damage. 2-3 patients visiting the outpatient department (OPD) daily suffer from pancreatitis induced due to alcohol consumption and need timely treatment. Alcohol consumption has increased as many people find it a way to relieve stress. Alcohol is one of the leading causes of pancreatitis, as excessive intake triggers inflammation of the pancreas. Youngsters often engage in binge drinking, which increases the chances of acute pancreatitis.” Dr Nikam added, “If not treated promptly, pancreatitis can result in severe complications such as diabetes, kidney issues, pancreatic necrosis (tissue death), infections, and multi-organ failure. Treatment includes hospitalisation, IV fluids, and medication. In severe cases, surgery will be required to remove damaged tissue. Prevent pancreatitis by reducing alcohol intake, eating a balanced diet, staying hydrated, and avoiding high-fat, processed foods. Early medical intervention is key to managing the condition." Dr Hemant Patel, general & leproscopic surgeon, Zynova Shalby Hospital in Ghatkopar says, “Youngsters aged 25-30 should be cautious as alcohol consumption is a major trigger for pancreatitis which induces long-term inflammation and damage to the pancreas. Monthly, 3-4 patients are detected with pancreatitis and the common cause is alcohol. Alcohol leads to inflammation in the pancreas, causing swelling, scarring, and impaired insulin production, raising the risk of chronic pancreatitis, diabetes, and organ failure. Medication, nutritional support, and surgery, if need be will be recommended to the patient. Quit alcohol, and smoking, drink enough fluids, stay away from junk and processed foods, and exercise as per the doctor’s advice to reduce the risk of pancreatitis."
13 February,2025 01:46 PM IST | Mumbai | mid-day online correspondentA team of Israeli researchers has identified how the structure and chemical changes in the DNA influence the risk of developing lung cancer from smoking. The team from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem focused on benzo(a)pyrene, a toxic chemical in cigarette smoke, which binds to DNA when processed by the body, disrupts its normal function, and causes damage to cells, Xinhua news agency reported. The study, published in Nucleic Acids Research, found that the way DNA is organised and chemically altered can affect how smoking damages it, how well the body cells repair the damage, and how many mutations result from it. It discovered that certain regions of DNA, particularly those that are more open and active, are more vulnerable to damage but also better at repairing themselves, and tend to have fewer mutations over time, whereas regions less efficiently repaired may accumulate mutations, increasing the risk of cancer. The study also found that proteins regulating gene activity can sometimes protect DNA from harm, but in other cases, they can make it more vulnerable to damage, the researchers said. The body's ability to repair DNA damage plays a more significant role in determining whether mutations occur, rather than just the amount of damage itself, they added. The study offers new insights into how smoking leads to lung cancer by damaging DNA and causing mutation and could help shape future strategies for cancer prevention and treatment. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), tobacco use accounts for 25 per cent of all cancer deaths globally and is the primary cause of lung cancer. It remains a public health issue of the utmost importance in the Region, where an estimated 186 million people (or 26 per cent of the adult population) currently use tobacco. Smokers are up to 22 times more likely to develop lung cancer in their lifetime compared to non-smokers. This story has been sourced from a third party syndicated feed, agencies.

13 February,2025 10:44 AM IST | Jerusalem | IANSIn a groundbreaking medical achievement, a team of doctors at New Delhi Private Hospital has successfully treated two women suffering from complex fistulas, an abnormal connection between the large intestine and womb--using an innovative cardiac occluder fistula closure device. Using a novel approach, the medical team employed a cardiac occluder device, typically used in heart surgeries, to seal the fistulas, offering a new treatment option for this challenging condition. The patients, both in their 60s, had been experiencing severe symptoms, including the passage of stool from the vagina, due to radiation therapy and previous surgeries. Despite undergoing multiple surgeries, they found no relief until they were referred to Dr Anil Arora and Dr Shivam Khare. "The first patient, a 61-year-old woman, had been suffering from the passage of stool from the vagina due to a rectovaginal fistula for years, following radiation therapy for cervical cancer. The second patient, a 65-year-old woman, was experiencing the passage of stool from the vagina because of an abnormal connection between the small intestine and the vagina, known as an enterovaginal fistula. Both patients had previously undergone unsuccessful surgeries and faced limited treatment options until they were referred to Anil Arora and Shivam Khare," said the hospital in a statement. The innovative procedure was performed by Dr Arora and Dr Khare, with the assistance of Dr Neeraj Agrawal, a pediatric cardiologist. By adopting the cardiac occluder device, the team successfully sealed the fistulas using a minimally invasive approach, ensuring a quicker recovery and a high likelihood of long-term success. "The procedure was performed by Dr Anil Arora and Dr Shivam Khare, with the assistance of Dr Neeraj Agrawal, pediatric cardiologist at the Hospital. For these complex fistula cases, Agrawal played a crucial role in adapting the cardiac occluder device, which is typically used in heart patients. Together, the Gastro Endoscopy team successfully sealed both fistulas minimally invasively, offering the patients a quicker recovery and a high likelihood of long-term success." It said. This pioneering achievement marks a significant advancement in the field, offering new hope to patients who had previously run out of options. Shivam Khare, consultant, Gastroenterologist, SGRH said, "Using a cardiac occluder device in these cases is a novel approach that minimizes risk and recovery time while providing an effective solution to complex fistulas. This marks a major advancement in the field, especially for patients who have previously run out of options." Anil Arora, chairman, of the Institute of Gastroenterology, Hepatology, and Pancreatobiliary Sciences, added, "The ability to adapt this device to treat fistulas is an example of the collaboration between multiple specialities and the role of collaborative innovation in modern medicine."
