Fine particulate matter (PM2.5), tiny particles that are less than 2.5 micrometers in diameter, can penetrate deep into the lungs and enter the bloodstream, and long-term exposure to high levels of PM2.5 is associated with an increased risk of lung cancer. PM2.5 is primarily produced by vehicle emissions, industrial processes, power plants and residential heating.
The patient first met Dr Reetu Jain, Director Bone Marrow Transplant & Medical Oncologist, Jaslok Hospital & Research Centre who then referred the case to Dr Vishnu Agarwal, Consultant Surgical Oncology & Robotic Surgery, Jaslok Hospital & Research Centre. The uterus and ovaries were removed and carefully examined the lymph nodes to ensure there was no disease spread. The advanced robotic surgical technique provided a pain-free and swift recovery.

The test requires minimal training to administer, making it ideal for deployment in both clinical settings and in the field. This rapid turnaround time is critical in curbing the spread of the virus, particularly in high-risk populations or regions where mpox has the potential to cause widespread harm.
Dengue fever, caused by the dengue virus transmitted through Aedes mosquitoes, is a significant global health concern, particularly in tropical and subtropical regions. Early detection is essential for effective management and reducing mortality rates associated with severe dengue cases. Diagnosing dengue poses significant challenges due to its overlapping symptoms with other febrile illnesses, particularly in early stages.
India’s leading robotic-gynaecological surgeons have raised concerns over the alarming rise in gynaecological cancers, particularly endometrial cancer. They are now exploring innovative advancements in robotic-assisted surgery (RAS) to improve the management of these complex cases and enhance patient outcomes.
The self-test is a proactive tool that can detect the dengue NS1 antigen from day one as soon as the symptoms appear in patients. This early detection capability empowers individuals to take control of their health and seek timely medical intervention. NS1 Antigen can be detected in both primary and secondary dengue infections.
The OCTF is an independent multi-disciplinary task force comprising leading specialists. Under the aegis of OCTF, the first ever Indian clinical practice guidelines on management of head & neck cancer (HNC) were laid down and published in the Indian Journal of Cancer in February 2020. The guidelines have been periodically reviewed and revised. It has been recognised amongst the 13 worldwide clinical practice guidelines by Cancers, an international, peer-reviewed, open access journal of oncology.
"Early detection is key in the fight against mouth cancers to save and improve lives," said Mahesh Kumar, the Indian-origin president of the Mouth Cancer Foundation and an Oral Maxillofacial Surgeon.
In the dipstick data analysis, doctors found the percentage of people with CKD was higher in those with more albumin in their urine. Among those who tested positive for CKD, most people were from Cuddalore (11.4%) followed by Villupuram (8.3%) and Kanyakumari (6.7%), says Dr Pravin Thiagarajan, one of the study authors. Around 4.5% of patients were from Chennai.
