Navigating the mental health challenges of Indian wedding planning

The Indian wedding—a multi-day spectacle of colour, tradition, and family reunion, has by all means turned into a lavish production. From the dazzling decor to the multi-cuisine fare, every detail is significant and seemingly demands endless attention. But what happens when the pressure to deliver the `Big Fat Indian Wedding` goes beyond the budget and starts taxing the bride`s mental health?While every shaadi, as it is called India, is meant to be a joyous occasion, the reality of planning often feels more like navigating a high-stakes, social media-fuelled obstacle course. From family politics over the guest list to the paralysing pursuit of Instagram-perfect aesthetics, the modern Indian bride is often caught in a whirlwind of impossible expectations. Experts delve into the unique men...

Study links infant RSV to higher asthma risk

An international team of scientists has found compelling evidence that early-infancy infection with respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) significantly increases the risk of developing childhood asthma. The risk is especially higher in children with a family history of allergy or asthma. The study, published in the Science Immunology journal, suggests that protecting newborns against RSV could substantially reduce asthma cases later in life. "Childhood asthma is a complex disease with many contributing factors," said Prof. Bart Lambrecht from VIB (the Flanders Institute for Biotechnology) and Ghent University in Belgium. "We found that early-life RSV infection and genetic allergy risk interact in a very specific way that pushes the immune system toward asthma. The encouraging news is that...

Canada ranks low on military oversight: study

OTTAWA – Canada maintains a low level of civilian oversight of the military due to Parliament’s rigid party discipline, according to a new book that compares it with fourteen other democracies. That conclusion was arrived at after a 10-year study conducted by a trio of defence experts — academics David Auerswald, Philippe Lagassé and Stephen Saideman — and reported in a new book titled: “Overseen or Overlooked? Legislators, Armed Forces and Democratic Accountability.”“When the military makes mistakes, it can be catastrophic. So you want to have more overseers, not less,” Saideman, an international relations professor at Carleton University, told The Canadian Press.That stark conclusion comes as the federal government under Prime Minister Mark Carney prepares to embark on a massive military...

What is the B.C. oil tanker ban, and could it change under pipeline deal?

The future of the oil tanker ban in northern B.C. waters is now in question after the federal and Alberta governments signed an energy agreement Thursday that sets the stage for a pipeline to the West Coast. The memorandum of understanding (MoU) includes a commitment from Ottawa to “enable the export of bitumen from a strategic deep-water port to Asian markets, including if necessary through an appropriate adjustment to the Oil Tanker Moratorium Act.”Alberta and federal Conservatives have long argued the 2019 federal law prevents the building of new pipelines and therefore constrains the oil and gas industry, and have called for the federal government to repeal it.The B.C. government and Coastal First Nations, however, are vowing to do everything in their power to keep the tanker ban in pl...

WHO calls for affordable, science-based infertility care worldwide

The World Health Organization (WHO) on Friday called on countries to strengthen access to affordable and science-based care to people facing infertility. The WHO defines infertility as the failure to achieve pregnancy after 12 months or more of regular unprotected sexual intercourse. Estimated to affect 1 in 6 people of reproductive age at some point in their lives, infertility can cause significant distress, stigma, and financial hardship, affecting people’s mental and psychosocial well-being. In its first-ever global guideline for the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of infertility, the global health body urged for safer, fairer, and more affordable fertility care. The guideline includes 40 recommendations that seek to strengthen the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of infer...
