Fighting fungal infections during monsoon season: Indian docs share expert tips

Dermatologists say monsoon-related fungal infections are among the most common skin concerns they see during monsoon season, yet they are also among the most misunderstood. People frequently confuse fungal conditions with acne, heat rash, dandruff, allergies, or friction-related irritation and often reach for strong skincare products or over-the-counter creams that end up making matters worse. The good news is that most fungal infections are manag...

Mumbai doctors successfully fix elderly woman's finger after freak accident

A peaceful return home after an evening walk turned into a terrifying ordeal for a 75-year-old Bhagwani Singh, a resident of Lower Parel, when strong winds sweeping through her high-rise apartment triggered a scary accident. As she paused at her doorstep to remove her footwear, a powerful gust rushing through two west-facing windows violently slammed the heavy door shut on her hand, nearly amputating her index finger and causing a deep injury to another finger. In the painful attempt to pull her hand free, another gust pushed the door again, striking her forehead and leaving her with injuries that also required stitches. Nearly 18 hours later, despite the severity of the crush injury and several medical challenges, Mumbai doctors were able to treat her successfully and replant her finger....

Delhi doctors perform rare whole lung lavage to treat uncommon lung condition

A 57-year-old woman suffering from Pulmonary Alveolar Proteinosis (PAP), a rare and potentially life-threatening lung disorder, has been successfully treated at a Delhi hospital through a complex Whole Lung Lavage procedure, doctors said on Wednesday.
