Mumbai docs warn about surge in dehydration cases in adults during monsoon

As monsoon showers cool the air and bring relief from the summer heat, experts raise concerns about a sharp rise in dehydration cases.

Hence, it is the need of the hour to seek medical attention if required. Not only diarrhoea and constipation, but even dehydration is a common occurrence in monsoon.

Exposure to isolated, extreme conditions may alter physiology, cognition: Study

A study analysing brain scans of crew members who spent a year at an Antarctic research station has revealed changes due to exposure to isolated and extreme environments with potential impacts on physiology and cognition. The findings, published in the journal `npj Microgravity`, have implications as extended space missions are planned from around the world, researchers said. The team from the US, Europe, Australia and New Zealand found an overall reduction in white matter and a reduced grey matter in brain regions known to help with memory, language and spatial awareness. Astronauts experience considerable stress in space, and understanding its effects on the brain can aid in assessing risks and building resilience, the researchers explained. They pointed out that analogue environments...

FIFA’s Vancouver contract could shut out businesses near BC Place

Here’s a Sneak Peak at the Next Batch of Emoji Coming to Your Device

What's up, besties? It's World Emoji Day, which means it's time to look at some new emoji (or is that emojis?). In a post on its blog today, the Unicode Consortium, the nonprofit behind the standardized set of emoji across you see across all your various devices and apps, previewed its next set of icons and expressions. The group says there's still "a lot of paperwork" to do on these, so they might not hit your phones and tablets until sometime around 2026, according to an email Unicode's Erik Thompson sent to The Verge.But what a batch it is: We've got a musical instrument. We've got treasure. We've got one of those old-school cartoon fight clouds. And of course, we've got a cryptid. While new emoji have proven surprisingly political in the past, this update seems more focused on crowd-pl...

Kolkata doctors give woman new lease of life after 10-hr ovarian cancer surgery

In a remarkable feat of advanced surgical care, the hospital in Kolkata has successfully performed a 10-hour-long, high-risk surgery on a 60-year-old patient diagnosed with severely advanced ovarian cancer. The patient, Rina Ganguly (name changed), had cancer that not only spread extensively in the abdominal cavity but had also reached the chest lymph nodes, making the case highly complex.  Ovarian cancer is the third most common cancer among women in India and is often referred to as a "silent killer" due to its lack of symptoms in the early stages, which frequently leads to diagnosis at an advanced stage. In such cases, performing an ultra-radical surgery to remove all visible disease is the most crucial prognostic factor in improving survival outcomes. The operation was led by Dr Arun...
