Mumbai docs save woman from severe complications after bariatric surgery

Doctors at a Mumbai hospital have successfully treated a 49-year-old woman, who developed severe, life-threatening complications following bariatric surgery. In a critical condition, Jaslok Hospital and Research Centre`s team stepped in to perform a high-risk corrective surgery to give her a new lease of life. In February 2025, the patient underwent bariatric surgery in Ahmedabad. Three months later, she developed severe complications and was admitted to two different hospitals in Navi Mumbai for emergency care, where she underwent emergency laparotomy (abdominal surgery to open and examine the abdomen) for a perforated gastro-jejunostomy ulcer (a hole at the stomach–small intestine connection). Her recovery was further complicated by acute kidney injury (sudden kidney failure) and a c...

Here`s why obesity affects people differently

Ever wondered why some people with obesity remain relatively healthy while others develop serious conditions like diabetes and heart disease? Genetic differences may be the reason, according to a study. An international team of researchers led by the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai and the University of Copenhagen in Denmark analysed genetic data from 452,768 people and discovered variants in 205 regions of the genome linked to higher body fat but better metabolic health. Using these discoveries, they developed a genetic risk score that adds up the impact of these variants. Individuals with higher scores were more likely to develop obesity -- but were less likely to suffer from complications such as high blood pressure, high cholesterol, diabetes, or heart disease. This is due, ...

‘When I heard the story, it was a little alarming’: Sharad Malhotra on Galat

Prejudices and superstitions run hand in hand in the entertainment industry. From changing the spelling of your name to wearing rings and making special prayers, everyone has done it all just to get a little closer to success or to ward off evil. Buri nazar ka kya bharosa! Actor Sharad Malhotra initially added a double ‘S’ to his name because “somebody had suggested that adding another letter to his name would probably fast-track [success]. It did for a while,” he says. The actor later opted to go back and stick to the basics. He took a break from television after his show Vidrohi (2022), then went on to do the web series Honey Trap Squad (2023). Now Malhotra has returned after two years with the micro-series Galat on an app founded by Krantibhai and Vikram Bhatt. The series, directed by...

Immigration lawyer, critics raise concerns about citizenship marker on Alberta ID

Critics are questioning what problem the Alberta government’s move to add mandatory citizenship markers to provincial identification aims to solve, and say it opens the door to potential privacy breaches and discrimination. Alberta Premier Danielle Smith said Monday the move is all about streamlining services and preventing election fraud.Zool Suleman, a Vancouver-based immigration lawyer, said the United Conservative Party government’s impetus is unclear, and all Canadians should be worried about an increasing “creep” that forces the disclosure of more personal information.“There’s some kind of hovering fear which some people are inflaming, which is that there are people who are voting who are not supposed to vote, or there are people accessing services they’re not supposed to access,” he...
