Childhood vaccines do not raise risk of epilepsy: Study

Routine childhood vaccinations are not associated with an increased risk of epilepsy in young children, according to a new study led by the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.  The study, published in The Journal of Pediatrics, showed that the aluminum used as vaccine adjuvants also does not increase the risk of the neurological condition. “Incident epilepsy was not associated with up-to-date vaccination status or cumulative vaccine aluminum exposure among children less than 4 years of age,” said the team, including those from the Marshfield Clinic Research Institute in Marshfield, US. The study included 2,089 children diagnosed as having epilepsy from age 1 year to less than 4 years. These were compared with 20,139 children without epilepsy based on age, sex, and health care...

Dhurandhar OTT version is same as one running in theatres since January 1

Within hours of dropping on Netflix on January 30, Ranveer Singh’s blockbuster Dhurandhar (2025) became a topic of discussion. Viewers noted that the OTT version of filmmaker Aditya Dhar’s action thriller was almost 11 minutes shorter than the theatrical one that had a three-hour-34-minute runtime. Another glaring change was that several expletives were muted or beeped out.  Dhurandhar was granted an ‘A’ certificate from the Central Board of Film Certification before its December 5 release. The fresh edits in the OTT version have left many questioning the need for additional sanitisation. A source close to Netflix India said, “Netflix has exhibited the film exactly as it was provided by the studio. The platform does not re-edit certified feature films,” said the source.  According to the...
