Kolkata doctors save life of elderly woman from severe lung failure

A severe chest infection soon spiralled into a life-threatening medical emergency, pushing a 60-year-old woman to the brink of multi-organ collapse before she was treated in time by doctors in Kolkata. Battling Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE), a chronic autoimmune condition in which the body’s immune system attacks its own tissues and organs, the woman had been on prolonged steroid therapy that significantly weakened her immunity over the years.  The compromised immune state eventually led to a rapidly progressing Pneumonia and Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS), a critical condition in which the lungs fail to deliver adequate oxygen to the body. As her respiratory failure worsened, doctors at Manipal Hospital Broadway had to initiate advanced ECMO (Extracorporeal Membrane Oxy...

I Tried These Four Fitness Watches to See Which Was Best for Hyrox Training

We may earn a commission from links on this page. I’m so much in the habit of recording and tracking my workouts that when I started training for Hyrox, my first question was, "how will I track them?" I want to keep an eye on my heart rate, so that narrowed it down to watches rather than smart bands or rings. But which is best? I tried four different watches and found two clear winners—depending on what you want to focus on. Hyrox is, of course, the hybrid fitness sport that blends running with strength-endurance activities. (I have an explainer on it here.) A typical Hyrox or hybrid fitness workout involves cardio and strength exercises, which you’ll usually switch between throughout. You’ll probably want to note when you switch exercises (by pressing a lap button on...

Can sex toys affect fertility? Mumbai doctors make startling revelation

With growing awareness around sexual wellness, the use of sex toys has become increasingly common among individuals and couples. However, several myths continue to circulate regarding their potential impact on fertility, often creating unnecessary confusion and anxiety. In reality, sex toys are generally considered safe when used correctly and when made from body-safe materials. There is currently no scientific evidence to suggest that the use of sex toys directly affects fertility. They do not interfere with sperm production, egg quality, ovulation, or the ability to conceive. Dr. Sulbha Arora, clinical director & fertility specialist, Nova IVF Fertility, Andheri, Mumbai, says, “Fertility is influenced by many factors, including age, hormonal balance, overall health, and underlying ...

The 2026 Hisense S7SG CanvasTV Is $500 Off

We may earn a commission from links on this page. Deal pricing and availability subject to change after time of publication. After my wife and I bought our home and it came time to get a TV, we knew we wanted one like Samsung's The Frame—we didn't want the focus of our living room to be an ugly black box when not in use. We ended up going with Hisense's first CanvasTV, and we love it. This year, Hisense released the 2026 S7 CanvasTV, and right now, 50-inch model is $798.99 (originally $1,299.99) after a $500 discount. That's the lowest price it has ever been, according to price tracking tools.

This Is Every Android Getting AirDrop Support This Year

When Google announced AirDrop support for Pixel devices last year, it was a bit of a bombshell. For years, file sharing was just one of those things that didn't mix well between iPhone and Android. Email, texting, agreeing on a third-party app; none of the options were convenient, especially when each platform had its own easy-to-use solution: AirDrop or Quick Share. But opening up AirDrop support for Android phones bridges the gap in a meaningful way: Now, you can send a friend with an iPhone a picture, video, or file from your Pixel, and vice versa—as quickly and efficiently as if you both had the same type of smartphone. Unfortunately, in the six months since Google's original announcement, the rollout has been quite slow. At launch, only the Pixel 10 line supported AirDrop. Since then,...

PCOS renamed to PMOS: Mumbai docs react to change, call it “a necessary update"

Earlier this week, Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome, popularly called PCOS, was officially renamed to PMOS. The change in the name was made after 14 years of collaboration between health experts and patients and research that was published in The Lancet on May 12.  The change has brought out a positive reaction from women across India and the globe, who are happily sharing it on social media, and rightly so. It is because the disorder that is known to affect 1 in 8 women around the world was primarily focusing on cysts and ovaries, when it is a much more complex hormonal and endocrine disorder requiring a multidisciplinary approach, and better late than never, especially for those women who suffer with it, affecting their daily lives.  Mumbai doctors react  “The proposed change from PCOS (Po...
