Once a poor man’s fruit, jackfruit gains superfood status in Keralam

Once known as the poor man’s fruit as it filled the plates of ordinary households across Keralam, jackfruit could soon get a new identity as a health and wellness food, with the state government planning a programme to highlight its medicinal properties.  Announcing the move, state Agriculture Minister T.

Cough syrup rules change: Mumbai docs explain why self-medication is dangerous

Cough syrup rules change: Mumbai docs explain why self-medication is dangerous

The Ministry of Health and Family Welfare has made an amendment to the Drugs Rules, 1945 to exclude the word “Syrups” from Entry 7 under Serial No. 13 of Schedule K of the rules under the heading 'Class of Drugs'. Schedule K of the 1945 rules provides exemptions from certain provisions of the Drugs and Cosmetics Act, 1940.  It simply means that before the amendment, a provision allowed cough syrups to be sold in smaller villages with a population of less than 1,000, without requiring compliance with some retail sale licensing norms. However, now the sale will be required to take place only through duly licensed pharmacies in accordance with the provisions of the Drugs and Cosmetics Act, 1940 and the Rules framed within it.  The Health Ministry has said that the amendment has been done to...

Desi Bling’s Lailli Mirza spills the beans on her deleted date scene

Desi Bling season 1 created significant buzz among audiences, particularly with fan-favourite couple Tejasswi Prakash and Karan Kundrra featuring on the show. In an exclusive conversation with mid-day, reality star Lailli Mirza opened up about behind-the-scenes moments, cast dynamics, deleted scenes, and what viewers can expect if a second season happens. Reflecting on the fashion showcased during the season, Lailli jokingly suggested that the show could benefit from a style upgrade in the future. "I had the most personal style on the show, I put things together in a different way. Though we all had our stylists, I think we need to invest in better ones for season 2, if it happens. Surely new stylists are getting hired for a better style statement on the screen," she said. Source link

Doctors in Delhi carry out rare heart bypass and lung cancer procedure

Doctors at a hospital in Delhi have successfully performed a rare life-saving procedure on a 66-year-old man by carrying out a heart bypass surgery and a robot-assisted lung cancer operation in a single session, treating two life-threatening conditions without compromising either. The patient, who was being examined for lung cancer, complained of persistent breathlessness during investigations. Further examination revealed severe blockages in his coronary arteries in addition to cancer in the upper lobe of his left lung. Doctors at the HCMCT Manipal Hospital, Dwarka said managing both conditions required careful planning as the heart and lungs are closely interconnected within the chest cavity and depend on each other for routine functioning. This meant that surgery on one could have in...
