Woman with severe endometriosis, 10-cm cysts on ovaries finally becomes mother

Gurgaon doctors have given renewed hope to a 30-year-old married working professional (who wished to not be named), who had been struggling with severe period pain for two years, unaware that the underlying cause was severe endometriosis. Her symptoms gradually worsened to the point where routine daily activities became extremely difficult during her menstrual cycle. Multiple ultrasounds showed large ovarian cysts, around 10 centimeters on both ovaries, which were stuck to her uterus. The woman had been referred to several centres, but doctors often suggested removing the ovaries if surgery was performed. She underwent laparoscopic endometriosis cystectomy, where only the diseased portions of her ovaries were removed while preserving the healthy tissue. Complete clearance of such extensiv...

Indore doctors save one-year-old`s life after fish jumps into his throat

A routine task of cleaning a home aquarium turned into a medical emergency for an Indore family after a fish jumped into their toddler`s throat. Doctors surgically removed the fish from the one-year-old boy, officials said on Thursday. The freak incident occurred on April 3, when the child`s elder siblings were cleaning their aquarium and playing with ornamental fish kept in a net. A fish suddenly jumped out of the net and fell into the toddler`s mouth while he was laughing loudly, officials said. Panicked family members rushed the boy to the Government Maharaja Yashwantrao Hospital (MYH). Head of the ENT department at MYH, Dr Yamini Gupta, told PTI, "The nearly three-inch fish was alive and flapping vigorously as it was stuck in his throat. It caused injuries, and blood mixed with sa...

How Brick Finally Helped Me Reduce My Screen Time

I've written before about various software tricks to nudge a smartphone toward dumb-phone territory: stripping the home screen down to essentials, enabling greyscale mode, scheduling downtime windows. I tried all of it, and for a time it worked for me, but only in the way that hiding a bag of chips in a high cabinet works—technically an obstacle, but not really a barrier. One tap to "Ignore Limit," and I'm back to scrolling. The problem is that the key to unlock everything is right there in your pocket. Turns out I needed a small device called Brick to physically restrain me create a physical barrier, and I can feel my screen time habits finally change for the better. How Brick works with your smartphoneBrick is a small NFC fob—roughly the size of an AirPods case—paired with an app. You ...

Android 17 Will Finally Let You Remap Your Gaming Controllers

While iOS has caught up in recent years, Android is still the most versatile OS when it comes to smartphone gaming—especially if you're looking beyond downloading games from app stores. Android supports a huge number of emulators, as well as game controllers and game pads. If you want to play a game, there's a decent chance you can get it up and running on Android. And yet, the OS doesn't have something that many other modern gaming platforms do: native controller remapping. The idea is, you get to choose which of your controller's buttons do what. If you'd prefer your down button to have the same effect as the L1 button, or the D-pad to have the same inputs as the right stick, you can. While individual Android games may offer these options, it doesn't apply to the entire OS, which leads t...

Mumbai doctors notice rise in cases of lifestyle-linked cancers, express caution

In India, cancer cases are surging across all age groups, raising serious public health concerns.

In the older population, colorectal, renal, and pancreatic cancers are more common. Individuals above 60 years are prone to cancer and more so because of longer lif...
