Integrating mental health support in cancer care important: Study

Integrating mental health support in cancer care is important and will boost the health of both survivors and caregivers, according to a new study by oncologists at the All-India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS), Delhi. The study, published in the Asian Pacific Journal of Cancer Prevention, sheds light on the critical yet under-recognised psychological struggles faced by cancer survivors and their caregivers. More than affecting physical health, a cancer diagnosis raises fear, uncertainty, anxiety, and depression -- all of which can profoundly affect the quality of life not only for patients but also for caregivers. “We advocate for integrating mental health care into routine oncology services, expanding access to psycho-oncology, and recognising caregivers` needs,” corresponding a...

Can prolonged gaming addiction damage your spine? Delhi doctor explains

Are you addicted to playing online games like PUBG? Prolonged gaming addiction can lead to spinal deformity and paralysis, said doctors here, who treated a 19-year-old boy suffering from the condition. The adolescent boy spent almost a year isolated in his room and engaged in excessive gaming for up to 12 hours a day. He suffered a gradual loss of appetite for physical activity and school and eventual social withdrawal. The increasing dependence on online gaming finally resulted in an abnormal curvature of the spine and problems in walking and passing urine. “This excessive gaming led to a significant kypho-scoliotic spinal deformity," according to a statement from the Indian Spinal Injuries Centre (ISIC) in New Delhi. The doctors stated that the boy developed severe kypho-scoliotic de...
