Mumbai docs help elderly woman walk within 48 hrs after she fell, fractured hip

Hip fractures and degenerative hip disorders such as osteoarthritis, avascular necrosis (AVN), and inflammatory arthritis are becoming increasingly common among older adults, often leaving them with severe pain, difficulty walking, and dependence on family members for even basic daily activities. While medications and physiotherapy may provide temporary relief in some cases, advanced joint damage often requires hip replacement surgery to restore mobility and quality of life.

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

Across India, rising humidity, damp clothes, wet footwear, crowded commutes, and prolonged sweating create the perfect environment for fungi to thrive. What often begins as mild itching, a few bumps, or a patch of irritated skin can quickly become persistent discomfort if ignored, or worse, aggravated by self-treatment and viral skincare advice. 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.

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.
