Shweta Tripathi says Women`s Reservation Bill will lead to progress

Actor Shweta Tripathi, known for her nuanced performances across film and shows, has equally used her voice beyond the camera to advocate for social change. Speaking on the sidelines of the Women`s Reservation Bill, Shweta emphasised how true progress comes when women are given proportionate opportunities across all spheres of life, further adding how the dynamics have started changing. In a conversation with ANI, the Mirzapur star shared, "I feel like things are now changing. I feel like, there`s me, there`s Kiran Rao... There are also writers like Juhi Chaturvedi. There is no competition between men and women. But when it comes to the women population, whether it`s in the parliament, behind the camera, or in any industry, it has to be proportionate."

What France`s new tobacco research means for India`s public health approach

The French Ministry of Health has updated its official position on smokeless tobacco products following a recent report by the French Agency for Food Safety, Environment, and Occupational Health (ANSES).  After reviewing more than 2,500 scientific publications, the agency concluded that while smokeless tobacco products are not risk-free, their harm levels are considerably lower than those of conventional cigarettes. For India, this development merits careful consideration within the country`s broader public health context. The central finding from ANSES rests on a straightforward but important distinction- smokeless tobacco products do not burn and therefore do not produce smoke. It is combustion that generates more than 7,000 toxic chemicals found in cigarette smoke, including aldehydes...

Woman with severe endometriosis, 10-cm cysts on ovaries finally becomes mother

Gurgaon doctors have given renewed hope to a 30-year-old married working professional (who wished to not be named), who had been struggling with severe period pain for two years, unaware that the underlying cause was severe endometriosis. Her symptoms gradually worsened to the point where routine daily activities became extremely difficult during her menstrual cycle. Multiple ultrasounds showed large ovarian cysts, around 10 centimeters on both ovaries, which were stuck to her uterus. The woman had been referred to several centres, but doctors often suggested removing the ovaries if surgery was performed. She underwent laparoscopic endometriosis cystectomy, where only the diseased portions of her ovaries were removed while preserving the healthy tissue. Complete clearance of such extensiv...

Indore doctors save one-year-old`s life after fish jumps into his throat

A routine task of cleaning a home aquarium turned into a medical emergency for an Indore family after a fish jumped into their toddler`s throat. Doctors surgically removed the fish from the one-year-old boy, officials said on Thursday. The freak incident occurred on April 3, when the child`s elder siblings were cleaning their aquarium and playing with ornamental fish kept in a net. A fish suddenly jumped out of the net and fell into the toddler`s mouth while he was laughing loudly, officials said. Panicked family members rushed the boy to the Government Maharaja Yashwantrao Hospital (MYH). Head of the ENT department at MYH, Dr Yamini Gupta, told PTI, "The nearly three-inch fish was alive and flapping vigorously as it was stuck in his throat. It caused injuries, and blood mixed with sa...
