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...

Thalassemia Day: Mumbai docs urge couples to opt for screening before pregnancy

Mumbai doctors say there is a need for Indian couples to go through thalassemia screening and haemoglobin electrophoresis tests, and genetic counselling if needed, as an essential part of fertility and pregnancy planning.  The health experts say that while many couples undergo fertility treatment and IVF procedures, awareness regarding inherited genetic conditions remains limited.

Every year, World Thalassemia Day is observed on May 8 to create awareness about the blood disorder. While people may know of it, their connection to pregnancy needs to be in the spotlight. Thalassemia is an inherited blood disorder in which the body is unable...

Mumbai doctors save life of woman unable to breathe due to massive 20 cm hernia

In a remarkable display of surgical expertise, doctors at a Mumbai hospital have successfully performed a complex, high-risk procedure on a 32-year-old woman diagnosed with a rare giant right sided diaphragmatic hernia.  The condition had led to the displacement of multiple abdominal organs into the chest cavity, resulting in critical compression of the right lung and a severe impact on her ability to breathe.

Her medical history revealed a traumatic injury at the age of 12, considered a likely contributing factor.
