Thane docs treat elderly man for rare encephalitis, give him new lease of life

A Thane hospital recently successfully treated an elderly man with a rare and challenging case of NMDA receptor positive autoimmune encephalitis.  The condition, typically seen in young women with underlying ovarian teratomas, is exceptionally uncommon in elderly males, making this case a significant milestone by treating the 73-year-old successfully at Jupiter Hospital. The patient, who had a history of diabetes mellitus (DM), hypertension (HTN), and carcinoma bladder (post-TURP), presented severe neurological symptoms including headache, confusion, drowsiness, and orofacial dyskinetic movements.  Initial investigations, including CT and MRI scans, ruled out acute infarct or bleed. Further testing confirmed NMDA receptor positive autoimmune encephalitis (both CSF and serum). The patie...

Canada-U.S. trade minister ‘enjoyed watching’ Ford dump Crown Royal in protest

Canada-U.S. Trade Minister Dominic LeBlanc says he “enjoyed watching” Ontario Premier Doug Ford’s new conference where he dumped out a bottle of Crown Royal whisky earlier this week in protest of the company closing its Ontario bottling facility. “I wouldn’t propose to tell Premier Ford how to practice Ontario politics. He’s won three majority governments. I think he’s figured out how to practice Ontario politics, but I enjoy a relationship with him that’s cordial and personal, and I really enjoyed watching his news conference on Tuesday,” LeBlanc said, in response to a question asking for his thoughts on the viral moment.The minister said Ford was “standing up for workers” in his province.“I saw his news conference earlier this week.

Canada must ‘reinvent’ economy like it did in 1945, finance minister says – National

The time has come for Canada to reinvent its economy like it did in 1945, Finance Minister Francois-Phillipe Champagne said on Thursday. “I often make an analogy between 2025 and 1945. In 1945, Canada reinvented itself, and I think this is one of those moments,” Champagne said, referring to the post-war industrial and construction boom in Canada.“It’s a moment when we have to reinvent the Canadian economy,” Champagne said, speaking to reporters at the Liberal cabinet retreat in the Greater Toronto Area.The urging comes as Canada continues to navigate the trade war launched by U.S. President Donald Trump earlier this year, which imposed significant tariffs on Canada and multiple specific sectors.In response, Prime Minister Mark Carney ran an election campaign urging Canadians to keep their ...

Internal PMO polls show huge support for major hydro, road, port projects – National

As the Carney government prepares to release its list of major projects it is prepared to fast-track to completion, new internal government polling done earlier this summer under the supervision of the prime minister’s office shows that Canadians overwhelmingly support projects that build up hydroelectric generation and transmission, highway system upgrades, and improved port infrastructure. A majority of Canadians also support new oil pipelines, building liquefied natural gas terminals and installing offshore wind turbines — though there are some significant regional variations when it comes to support for those kinds of projects, according to those internal polls, copies of which were obtained by Global News through access-to-information requests.Since last spring’s election, Prime Minis...

Are medu vadas healthy? Mumbai dietitians reveal many things you didn’t know

Mumbaikars love their street food and the beauty of the city being a melting pot of cultures automatically means there is every kind of street food. From the local vada pav to the samosa, along with jalebis and even dabeli pav, but not without its south Indian delicacies. With a rich history of South Indian food in the city, medu vadas have become a preferred breakfast or snack item that often turns into a meal too for many people in the city.  The Union Health Ministry highlighted the need for people to pay attention to their health and nutrition in street foods like samosas and jalebis some time ago, but many people did not like it. While the access to these snacks is one reason, their love for them is another, but ask Mumbai dietitians about their health quotient, and there’s more to s...
