A conversation with Dr. Esha Pai, Senior Consultant – Surgical Oncology, Apollomedics Hospitals, Lucknow Lucknow (Uttar Pradesh) [India], September 7: Dr. Esha Pai has spent over a decade operating on cancers most people would rather not think about. A gold medalist from Tata Memorial Hospital and now a surgical oncologist at Apollomedics Hospitals, Lucknow, she’s seen up close what happens when breast and cervical cancer — two of the most common cancers among Indian women — go unscreened for years. We asked her to walk us through the numbers, where the system is failing women, and what she’s personally trying to fix about it. Q: Let’s start with the scale of the problem. How serious is this, really? More serious than most people assume, and it’s not slowing down. Government da...

– Dr Deebanshu Gupta, Interventional Cardiologist, Sarvodya Hospital, Jalandhar Jalandhar [Punjab], August 31: Have you ever experienced that your heart starts to pound after climbing up a few flights of stairs – despite regular workouts? It can feel alarming, especially if you can run or cycle for much longer without any issues. But stairs are a completely different cardiovascular exercise since it uses gravity; the effort level goes up all of a sudden and works out big muscle groups. The Physiological Reasons Behind the Issue The resting heart rate of an adult person is between 60 and 100 beats per minute. When climbing up the stairs, leg muscles need much more oxygen, and this stimulates the heart to beat much faster and pump more vigorously. Heart rate may spike quickly whe...

Agra (Uttar Pradesh) [India], August 18: Kidney stone treatment has quietly gone through one of its biggest shifts in years, and most patients have no idea it’s happening. A newer technique called FANS, short for Flexible and Navigable Suction Ureteral Access Sheath, is helping doctors clear stones more completely and with fewer complications, all without a single external cut. For decades, the standard for many kidney stones was either shock wave therapy, which doesn’t always fully clear larger stones, or more invasive procedures that involve making an incision into the kidney. Retrograde Intrarenal Surgery, known as RIRS, changed that by allowing doctors to reach the kidney through the body’s natural pathways using a thin scope passed through the urinary tract. What FANS adds to this ...

Bengaluru (Karnataka) [India], August 10: Oral healthcare is undergoing a significant transformation as more patients move beyond routine dental treatments in search of specialist-driven care. Increasing awareness about long-term dental health, advanced treatment options, and the importance of accurate diagnosis has led to a growing preference for multidisciplinary dental centers capable of managing both simple and highly complex cases under one roof. Among the institutions contributing to this shift is Narayana Specialists Dental & Implant Centre, which has established itself as a super-speciality dental practice serving patients across Bangalore through its centers in Indiranagar, KR Puram, and Jayanagar. By combining specialist expertise, modern technology, and patient-focused tr...

New Delhi [India], August 7: Most people lose somewhere between 50 to 100 strands of hair every day. That’s completely normal, and most of us don’t even notice it. But at some point, the clumps in the shower drain get bigger, the part in your hair starts looking wider, or you catch your reflection and something just looks different. That’s when the question usually hits — is this just stress, or is something actually wrong? Knowing when to take hair fall seriously, and when to actually see someone about it, is something most people get wrong. Normal Shedding vs. Something Worth Paying Attention To Hair grows in cycles. Each strand goes through a growth phase, a resting phase, and then a shedding phase before a new strand starts growing in its place. When this cycle gets disrupt...

Kolkata (West Bengal) [India], July 6: “Brain ek aesi cheez hain jise cleaning ki zaroorat hain,” says Dr. Hrishikesh Kumar, Head of Neurology, Director of Research, and Vice Chairman at the Institute of Neurosciences, Kolkata. A discussion with the illustrious doctor explores the six pillars of brain health: physical activity, cognitive stimulation, diet, nutrients and moderation, sleep, and social connection. At the heart of the conversation is a powerful reminder: “Hum jo bhi hain, brain ke karan hi hain.” Dr. Kumar explains how lifelong learning and mental engagement help build cognitive reserve, noting that “Early age hain information ko gather karne ka, later age hain process karne ka.” He also emphasises the importance of keeping the brain active. “It is very important to c...
