There is a concerning increase in endometriosis cases among women aged 20-40, according to some Mumbai doctors. The condition, which often goes undiagnosed for years, can impact women’s quality of life and fertility, if left untreated. Endometriosis is a disease in which tissue similar to the lining of the uterus grows outside the uterus, on places like the ovaries or fallopian tubes. It can cause severe pain in the pelvis and make it harder to get pregnant. According to the World Health Organization, endometriosis affects roughly 10 per cent of reproductive age women globally. Dr Swetha Lalgudi, Gynaecologist, Zynova Shalby Hospital, informs, “We are seeing a 10 per cent rise in endometriosis cases among women aged 20-40. Around 1 in 10 women per month get diagnosed with the condition.” Explaining more about the condition, Dr Pooja Madhav, Gynaecologist, Apollo Spectra, Mumbai, says, “Endometriosis is most commonly seen in women aged 20-40 because this is the reproductive age group when hormonal fluctuations tend to happen. The condition is influenced by estrogen levels, which are higher during these years. Many women delay seeking help due to stigma or misunderstanding when it comes to menstrual pain, leading to late diagnosis and lack of management of the condition.” This underscores the need for awareness, early detection and effective management of the condition. Symptoms of endometriosis Common symptoms of endometriosis include severe pelvic pain, painful period, pain during intercourse, fatigue, and in some cases, infertility. “Symptoms such as pelvic pain, painful sex, heavy menstruation, spotting between period, and painful urination shouldn’t be ignored by women. Report these symptoms to the doctor without any delay to get an accurate diagnosis of endometriosis and start treatment on an immediate basis,” suggests Dr Lalgudi. Effects of endometriosis Untreated endometriosis can significantly affect women’s health and quality of life. “Untreated endometriosis can lead to severe complications, including chronic pelvic pain, infertility and the formation of ovarian cysts or adhesions,” says Dr Madhav. Dr Lalgudi adds, “Endometriosis hurts a woman’s fertility by damaging reproductive organs, such as ovaries and fallopian tubes, through scar tissue, inflammation or cyst formation. These changes can interfere with egg release, fertilisation or implantation in the uterus.” Managing endometriosis While endometriosis is a severe condition, it can be managed using several techniques. “Managing endometriosis involves a combination of medications, hormonal therapies, regular exercise, a balanced diet and de-stressing with yoga and meditation. In severe cases, laparoscopic surgery may be recommended to remove endometrial tissue,” informs Dr Madhav. “Those women with endometriosis who wish to become pregnant can opt for ARTs such as In Vitro Fertilisation (IVF) and egg freezing. Women should go for regular health check-ups and follow-ups to stay updated regarding their reproductive health,” concludes Dr Lalgudi.

14 January,2025 10:40 PM IST | Mumbai | mid-day online correspondentEvery year, January is celebrated as Cervical Cancer Awareness Month, and largely Cervical Health Awareness Month, to highlight the importance of having a healthy cervix. While having a healthy cervix is important, Dr Nitin Gupte, who is the gynecologist at Apollo Spectra Pune, says there is more than one reason why people should not take their cervix health for granted. Maintaining good cervical health is essential for a successful pregnancy. He says, "Cervical health is important during pregnancy. The cervix is responsible for holding the baby in place until the pregnant woman goes into labour. Having a healthy cervix will help with the proper development of the baby and avoid complications, such as premature birth or miscarriage. A large number of women are unaware of the importance of cervical health, but by taking proactive steps, they can take care of their reproductive health during pregnancy."Dr Nitin shares the following tips to maintain cervical health: Timely checkups: Routine exams can allow the expert to detect early signs of cervical issues such as infections, abnormalities, or changes that could affect pregnancy. Timely detection will help in initiating the right kind of treatment without any delay. Practicing safe sex: It is a known fact that using protection during sexual intercourse and maintaining good sexual health will help one to keep cervical infections at bay, which may invite complications during pregnancy. Maintaining an optimum weight: By opting for a balanced diet and regular exercise can reduce strain on the cervix, and prevent conditions like gestational diabetes, and make sure that a woman has a healthy pregnancy without any complications. Avoid smoking: According to various studies, smoking can weaken the cervix, increasing the risk of premature birth and pregnancy complications such as miscarriage and premature labor. Women should quit smoking to be able to conceive without any trouble. Manage stress: Stress can affect overall health, so it’s important to practice relaxation techniques like deep breathing, yoga, or meditation to maintain cervical health. Stay well hydrated and adhere to a nutritious diet: Proper hydration and a nutrient-rich diet support tissue health and reduce inflammation, which is essential for maintaining cervical health and in turn pregnancy. Follow the doctor’s instructions: If you have been diagnosed with infections, follow your doctor’s advice carefully to avoid complications during pregnancy. By keeping these crucial tips in mind, it will be possible for women to improve their cervical health.
14 January,2025 03:34 PM IST | Mumbai | mid-day online correspondentObesity at the time of cancer diagnosis in children may affect the survival rates, according to a study on Monday. Over 390 million children and adolescents aged 5–19 years were overweight in 2022, including 160 million who were living with obesity, as per data from the World Health Organization (WHO). Obesity is a known precursor to many non-communicable diseases like diabetes, hypertension, and cancer. “Our study highlights the negative impact of obesity among all types of childhood cancers. It provides the rationale to evaluate different strategies to mitigate the adverse risk of obesity on cancer outcomes in future trials,” said Thai Hoa Tran from the Centre Hospitalier Universitaire Sainte-Justine in Montreal, Canada. The team conducted a retrospective study on 11,291 children newly diagnosed with cancer from 2001 to 2020, across Canada. Of these children, aged 2 to 18 years, 10.5 per cent were obese at the time of diagnosis. Compared with patients without obesity at the time of initial cancer diagnosis, those with obesity had lower rates of 5-year event-free survival (77.5 per cent versus 79.6 per cent) and overall survival (83.0 per cent versus 85.9 per cent). After adjusting for factors including age, sex, ethnicity, neighborhood income quintile, treatment era, and cancer categories, the team found that obesity at diagnosis was linked with a 16 per cent increase in the risk of relapse. There was also a 29 per cent increase in the risk of death, revealed the study, published in the journal Cancer. The negative impact of obesity on prognosis was especially pronounced in patients with acute lymphoblastic leukemia and brain tumours, said the team. The study “also reinforces the urgent need to reduce the epidemic of childhood obesity as it can result in significant health consequences,” Tran said.

13 January,2025 09:46 PM IST | Mumbai | IANSSlow maturing of the brain's cortex -- that helps with self-control and decision-making -- during teenage could be a reason for developing eating disorders as a young adult, according to a new research. Disordered eating behaviours can be 'restrictive' -- involving dieting and purging in which one deliberately limits food intake to control body weight and shape -- or 'emotional' in response to negative emotions or urges such as binge-eating. For the study, published in the journal Nature Mental Health, the researchers led by those at King's College London analysed MRI brain scans of almost 1,000 teenagers from England, Ireland, France and Germany, taken at ages 14 and 23 years. Genetic data and responses to questionnaires assessing the participants' well-being and eating behaviours were also analysed. 'Brain maturation' in which the cortex or the outer layer of brain decreases in volume and thickness during teenage, was found to be delayed and less pronounced in unhealthy eaters. The cortex is known to help perform higher-level functions such as decision-making and regulating emotions. "Age-related decreases in volumes and thickness in several brain regions, particularly in the cerebellum and prefrontal cortex, were less pronounced in restrictive eaters and emotional/uncontrolled eaters, compared with healthy eaters, suggesting protracted (delayed) brain maturation," the authors wrote. They said that a delayed maturing of the cortex contributed towards the link between having mental health problems at age 14 and developing unhealthy eating behaviours at age 23, and this connection was unrelated to body mass index. In particular, they found that a reduced maturation of the cerebellum -- a brain region that controls appetite -- helped explain the link between one's genetic risk for high body mass index and restrictive eating behaviours at age 23. The researchers grouped the participants under three types of eating behaviours -- healthy eaters (42 per cent), restrictive eaters (33 per cent) and emotional or uncontrolled eaters (25 per cent). Young people with unhealthy eating behaviours at age 23 were found to have had higher levels of internalising and externalising problems at age 14, compared to healthy eaters. Internalising problems could involve anxiety or depression, whereas externalising ones could involve hyperactivity, inattention or conduct issues.Internalising problems significantly increased with age between 14 to 23 among the unhealthy eaters, the researchers said. They added that although externalising problems decreased with age across the groups, overall levels were higher among those having emotional or uncontrolled eating behaviours. Restrictive eaters were found to have dieted more throughout adolescence compared to healthy eaters. On the other hand, some of the emotional eaters showed an increase in dieting between ages 14 and 16, while others showed an increase in binge eating between ages 14 to 19, compared to healthy eaters, the team found.

13 January,2025 04:46 PM IST | Mumbai | PTIMumbai doctors have successfully performed the city’s first HLA compatible, acceptable mismatch domino kidney transplant of the year. This extraordinary procedure involved six surgeries across hospitals and states, uniting three donors and three recipient families in a synchronised chain to save lives. In a landmark medical feat, a multidisciplinary team led by Dr. Bharat Shah, Dr. Shruti Tapiawala, Dr. Pradeep Rao, Dr. Jitendra Jagtap at Gleneagles Hospital, Parel, Mumbai. Leveraging advanced transplant immunodiagnositics and acceptable mismatch techniques in HLA medicine, the domino transplant addressed the unique challenges of highly sensitised patients which is only 7-10 per cent of transplant population, marking a new milestone in renal transplantation for our state and country. Dr. Bharat Shah, director of renal science at Gleneagles Hospital, remarked, “This achievement exemplifies the power of teamwork, precision, and innovation in modern medicine. With domino transplants, we are creating a life-saving ripple effect for patients who once had no options. It is a privilege to lead such groundbreaking efforts that transform lives.” Dr. Shruti Tapiawala, consultant nephrologist, highlighted, “Sensitised patients, often due to prior transplants, pregnancies, or blood transfusions, face immense difficulties finding compatible donors. With the help of advanced transplant immunodiagnositics and acceptable mismatch techniques in HLA medicine, the domino transplant addressed the unique challenges of highly sensitized patients which is 7-10 per cent of our population seeking transplants are highly sensitised, with antibodies increasing their risk of rejection to 30-35 per cent even with desensitisation protocols. A domino transplant involves a chain of donors and recipients where each donor matches a different recipient, creating a life-saving chain. The procedure was essential for patients battling kidney failure and inability to get transplanted due to high risk of rejection with their available family donors. 1. A 55-year-old lady from Hyderabad, with multiple donor-specific antibodies against multiple family donors, due to which she faced rejection risks from all her relatives, including her brother, aunt, husband, and maternal uncle. 2. A 17-year-old boy, whose first transplant failed during the COVID-19 pandemic, required specialised care to overcome sensitisation from his earlier transplant and antibodies against his aunt and father precluding him from receivinga kidney from them. 3. An 18-year-old girl, previously lost a kidney due to infection and faced additional challenges due to congenital abnormalities and HLA antibodies against her mother who was her potential kidney donor. Months and years of waiting to find an acceptably mismatched donor with whom the rejection risk would be minimal with lesser immunosuppression and cost, rigorous HLA (Human Leukocyte Antigen) matching and antibody profiling, virtual and physical cross-matching, and extensive counseling culminated in this life-saving procedure. On December 19, three donors and three recipients underwent complex transplant surgeries lasting 18 hours. Dr. Pradeep Rao, director of urologist & kidney transplant, explained, “Kidney transplants for sensitised patients often require solutions beyond traditional donor-patient matching. Paired exchange or domino transplants, though legally and logistically challenging in India, are game-changers for such cases. Without these options, many patients would remain on dialysis indefinitely.” A life-saving journeyOne of the grateful recipients, a patient from Hyderabad, shared, “After years of waiting and failed attempts, I feel healthy and hopeful again. This would not have been possible without the expertise of Dr. Shruti Tapiawala and my nephrologist, Dr Anuradha, who collaborated to make this miracle a reality. I am immensely thankful to the donor for their selfless act.” Dr Bipin Chevale, CEO of Gleneagles Hospitals, Parel, Mumbai, concluded, “This successful domino transplant is a testament to our hospital’s commitment to pushing boundaries in medical science. We are proud to be at the forefront, providing hope and healing to patients who had limited options.”
13 January,2025 02:53 PM IST | Mumbai | mid-day online correspondentShifting to balanced diets is key to combat the alarming nutrition crisis, caused by unhealthy diets, in India, said health experts. According to the latest report of the Indian Council of Medical Research-National Institute of Nutrition (ICMR-NIN), India is facing a health crisis, with 56.4 per cent of the total disease burden attributed to unhealthy dietary practices. Unhealthy eating habits, including the consumption of processed foods high in salt, sugar, and fats, have become alarmingly prevalent, with the proliferation of fast-food chains and the easy availability of packaged snacks. "India faces a unique and alarming nutrition crisis, with abdominal obesity being more prevalent than overall obesity. More than 50 per cent of the population suffers from diet-related disorders, including obesity, diabetes type 2, fatty liver, etc.,” said Dr. Hemalatha R, ex-director of ICMR-NIN. Hemalatha said this while delivering a keynote address at the 30th Continuing Medical Education (CME) seminar recently organised by the Physicians Association for Nutrition India (PAN India) in collaboration with Indian Medical Association (IMA) Bengaluru. Non-Communicable Diseases (NCDs) account for 66 per cent of all mortality in the country. Unlike the much-developed Western world, where NCDs typically manifest later in life, India faces these diseases at a much younger age. Alarmingly, two-thirds of Indians with NCDs fall within the 26-59 age group, the most productive years of their lives. Most of it is due to unhealthy diet choices and other lifestyle practices. The ICMR-NIN study highlights that 56 per cent of the disease burden is due to an unhealthy diet. This trend poses significant challenges not just to individual health but also to the nation’s economic and social fabric. “Unhealthy diets account for over 56 per cent of the country’s disease burden, and the impact begins as early as foetal development, with pregnant women consuming processed foods and sugars risking their children’s cognitive health,” Hemalatha said. “This underscores the urgent need to shift towards balanced diets rich in pulses, legumes, whole grains, vegetables, and fruits, aligning with global recommendations to combat this alarming unhealthy diet,” the expert added. Dr. G. Rajendiran, MBBS, MD, DM (Cardiology), Prof & Head of Preventive Cardiology, PSGIMSR, Coimbatore Director-VR Heart health initiative, also emphasised the importance of whole food plant-based diet in prevention and management of cardiovascular diseases. This gains importance given the increasing prevalence and mortality despite the recent medical advances, she said. This story has been sourced from a third party syndicated feed, agencies.

12 January,2025 04:45 PM IST | Mumbai | IANSEven as watching short videos or reels on social media platforms has become an integral part of the daily lives of young and middle-aged people, a new study shows that addiction to this can lead to high blood pressure. The study, conducted by researchers The First Hospital of Hebei Medical University in China, aimed to explore the correlation between the screen time spent watching short videos at bedtime and essential hypertension among young and middle-aged people. The team analysed data of 4,318 young and middle-aged people who self-reported screen time spent watching short videos at bedtime and also underwent medical examinations between January 2023 and September 2023. They found that longer screen time spent watching short videos at bedtime was associated with a higher hypertension prevalence. “The screen time spent watching short videos at bedtime was significantly associated with essential hypertension in young and middle-aged people,” said the team, in the paper published in the journal BMC Public Health. The researchers called for "strict control of screen time spent watching short videos at bedtime”. In addition, they also urged “control of body weight, blood lipids, blood glucose, and uric acid levels, and improvement of poor lifestyle, such as a high-sodium diet,” which can help reduce the risk of hypertension. Previous studies have showed that prolonged mobile phone use, that is 30 minutes or more a week can increase risk of high blood pressure or hypertension. The study, published in European Heart Journal – Digital Health, a journal of the European Society of Cardiology (ESC), indicates that low levels of radiofrequency energy emitted from mobile phones has been linked with an increase in blood pressure. A whopping 1.3 billion adults aged 30 to 79 years worldwide have high blood pressure, according to the World Health Organization. It is a major risk factor for heart attack and stroke, as well as a leading cause of premature death. This story has been sourced from a third party syndicated feed, agencies.

12 January,2025 11:23 AM IST | Mumbai | IANSSkincare expert Blossom Kochhar puts together recipes, hacks and DIYs on how to approach daily skincare routines by blending traditional Indian practices with science in her new book. "The Glow Getters Guide to Everyday Skincare" is aimed at guiding readers in achieving healthy skin through authentic, nature-based techniques. There are also a few pointers on how beauty is influenced by a balanced body, mind, and emotions. "Caring for your skin, hair, and body goes beyond mere beauty; it also has a significant impact on your health and emotions. Even the wise have said that we must look after our bodies, for this is where the divine resides," Kochhar writes in the book, published by Hay House. She says beauty is not just skin deep but holistic. "This quest for holistic beauty led me to study numerous alternative therapies and I went on to learn and practise reiki, pranic healing, Arhatic Yoga, crystal therapy, colour therapy, NLP, and much more." She also says emotions have a tremendous impact not only over one's wellness but also skin and hair. "Emotions help to uplift or reduce your vibrations and energy. We vibrate at certain levels, and that determines our happiness or sadness," she says. "If you are feeling depressed, sad, angry, grieving, or sick, your vibration is low. It also reflects on the physical level. To elevate your state, you will need to raise your vibrations to happiness, peace, and compassion," she adds. Drawing on over four decades of experience in the beauty industry, she also suggests a simple diet plan. "The word 'diet' conjures up visions of torture, hunger pangs, resisting temptations, and spending months on end trying to lose a few kilos, becoming more and more irritable as the months go by, and finding the bother not worth its while," she writes, adding 'diet' in short for her is having the cake and eating it too. She advises drinking enough water, eating variety of fruits and vegetables, healthy fats, protein, whole grains and healthy snacks and consuming sugar and processed foods in moderation.
11 January,2025 05:45 PM IST | New Delhi | PTIThe Indian Institute of Technology Kanpur (IITK) said on Saturday it has developed a unique brain-computer interface-based robotic hand exoskeleton that can help in stroke rehabilitation and redefine post-stroke therapy by accelerating recovery. The robotic hand deploys a unique closed-loop control system that actively engages the patient’s brain during therapy. It integrates three essential components: a brain-computer interface that captures EEG signals from the brain’s motor cortex to assess the patient’s intent to move, a robotic hand exoskeleton that performs therapeutic hand movements, and software that synchronizes brain signals with the exoskeleton for real-time assist-as-required force feedback, according to a IITK statement. This synchronised approach ensures continuous engagement of the brain, fostering faster and more effective recovery. “Stroke recovery is a long and often uncertain process. Our device bridges the gap between physical therapy, brain engagement, and visual feedback creating a closed-loop control system that activates brain plasticity, which is the brain's ability to change its structure and function in response to stimuli,” said professor Ashish Dutta from the Department of Mechanical Engineering at IIT Kanpur. This is especially significant for patients whose recovery has plateaued, as it offers renewed hope for further improvement and regaining mobility. “With promising results in both India and the UK, we are optimistic that this device will make a significant impact in the field of neurorehabilitation,” Dutta added. The innovation is supported by Department of Science and Technology (DST), UK India Education and Research Initiative (UKIERI), and Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR). Stroke-induced motor impairments often result from damage to the motor cortex, and traditional physiotherapy methods have limitations due to insufficient brain involvement. This device addresses this by linking brain activity with physical movement. “Pilot clinical trials conducted in collaboration with Regency Hospital (India) and the University of Ulster (UK), have yielded exceptional results,” said IITK.

11 January,2025 05:18 PM IST | New Delhi | IANSMen are three times more likely to die from a traumatic brain injury (TBI) than women, according to a study on Friday. The study based on US mortality data in 2021 reveals the disproportionate impact of traumatic brain injuries (TBI) on older adults, males, and certain racial and ethnic groups. The findings, published in the peer-reviewed journal Brain Injury, indicate that suicides remain the most common cause of TBI-related deaths. This was followed by unintentional falls, and specific groups are disproportionately affected by these tragedies. Men were found to be most likely to die from a TBI – more than three times the rate of women (30.5 versus 9.4). “In addition to men, older adults are especially at risk, with unintentional falls being a major cause of TBI-related death,” said lead author Alexis Peterson from the National Center for Injury Prevention and Control at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The researchers found multifactorial reasons behind the TBI deaths. This, they said, could reflect differences in injury severity following a fall or motor vehicle crash, to the interaction of sex and age -- with TBI outcomes in men worsening with age. On the other hand, postmenopausal women fared better than men of similar age. Peterson called for tailored prevention strategies to reach groups who may be at higher risk. He also stressed the crucial role of healthcare providers in reducing TBI-related deaths through early intervention and culturally sensitive care. Using data from the National Vital Statistics System, the new analysis identified 69,473 TBI-related deaths among US residents during 2021 -- an average of 190 deaths per day. The age-adjusted TBI-related mortality rate was 19.5 per 100,000, representing an 8.8 per cent increase from 2020. This story has been sourced from a third party syndicated feed, agencies.
