Kritika Kamra on Saare Jahan Se Accha: I feel secure, I know my role matters

Often, Kritika Kamra has expressed her desire to chase women-led stories. Saare Jahan Se Accha is an exception on that count. Led by Pratik Gandhi and Sunny Hinduja, the upcoming Netflix series is set in the 1970s and traces how an undercover Indian agent went to Pakistan to halt its nuclear program. Kamra says that she felt secure as an artiste to be part of the ensemble cast, knowing that her character contributes meaningfully to the story. “I have been part of women-led stories in the past.

Study explores role of brain in treating type 1 diabetes

The brain might become the target of new type 1 diabetes treatments and pave a better way for insulin management, according to a study. Researchers had, over a decade ago, found that an acute complication of type 1 diabetes -- diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) -- can be resolved with the hormone leptin, even in the absence of insulin. In the analysis, published in the Journal of Clinical Investigation, the team explained how leptin affects the brain and how it might be used in future therapeutics. DKA happens when the body is unable to make insulin and begins to break down fat for fuel. This can lead to a life-threatening buildup of sugar (glucose) and ketoacids in the blood. Doctors have typically administered insulin to address the complication. But evidence now shows that, when insulin i...

Plastic pollution an underrecognised threat to human and planetary health: Study

Ahead of the UN treaty on plastics, a new report in The Lancet journal on Monday has warned that plastic pollution is an underrecognised threat to the health of both humans and the planet, which must be addressed immediately. The report, led by a group of international experts, reviews the current evidence on how plastics -- including microplastics and plastic chemicals -- impact health. “Plastics are a grave, growing, and under-recognised danger to human and planetary health. Plastics cause disease and death from infancy to old age and are responsible for health-related economic losses exceeding $1.5 trillion annually,” said corresponding author Prof Philip J Landrigan, from Boston College, US. The report discusses evidence that plastics endanger human health at every stage of their li...

Premiers push for more immigration control, but experts say debate needed – National

Some premiers say they want to have more local control over the immigration system — but experts say what the system really needs is a national conversation on immigration reform that shores up public support. “Most of the existing policies have been formulated on the fly without any evidence or serious impact evaluations of what the various classes of immigrants are, how they’re performing economically and otherwise,” said Michael Trebilcock, a retired academic and co-author of two books on immigration policy.“So it’s basically research-free.”As the premiers and territorial leaders were wrapping up their three-day meeting in Huntsville, Ont., late last month, they called for an increase to economic immigration levels to fill local labour gaps and said they would use their constitutional p...
