Department of Pharmaceuticals Sets Ambitious Targets for Special Campaign 4.0, Emphasising Cleanliness and Digital Transformation

As part of its preparatory phase for Special Campaign 4.0, the Department of Pharmaceuticals, along with its affiliated offices—including the National Pharmaceutical Pricing Authority (NPPA), autonomous bodies such as National Institutes of Pharmaceutical Education and Research (NIPERs), public sector undertakings (PSUs) like Hindustan Antibiotics Limited (HAL), Karnataka Antibiotics & Pharmaceuticals Limited (KAPL), Bengal Chemicals & Pharmaceuticals Limited (BCPL), and the Pharmaceutical and Medical Devices Bureau of India (PMBI)—conducted a thorough exercise to identify targets for this campaign.

India Joins Global Health Leaders with Affiliate Membership in the International Medical Device Regulators Forum

In a landmark move aimed at strengthening India’s regulatory framework for medical devices, the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare has introduced comprehensive regulations to align the country’s system with globally accepted standards. This initiative underscores India’s commitment to fostering a regulatory ecosystem that encourages growth and innovation in the medical device sector while enhancing the safety and effectiveness of healthcare technologies available to the public.

Want to Lower Your Stroke Risk? Opt for Water, Not Fizzy Drinks or Fruit Juices

If you want to keep a stroke at bay, it’s time to re-evaluate what’s in your glass. A recent global study warns that carbonated beverages and fruit juices could significantly increase your risk of stroke, while drinking water could offer protective benefits. The findings, derived from the INTERSTROKE study—a large-scale investigation involving nearly 27,000 participants across 27 countries—highlight the importance of making smart beverage choices for better brain health.

New Study Reveals Accelerated Cognitive Decline in Older Stroke Survivors

A recent study has unveiled troubling findings for older stroke survivors, showing that a stroke is not only associated with an immediate cognitive decline but also with accelerated long-term deterioration in mental functions. The research, published on October 2 in JAMA Network Open, emphasizes the critical need for early intervention in managing vascular risk factors to potentially mitigate cognitive decline in stroke patients.

Japanese Researchers Successfully Use Human Stem Cells to Repair Macular Holes in Monkeys, Paving the Way for New Treatments

In a groundbreaking study, Japanese researchers have successfully closed a macular hole—a small gap in the central part of the eye's retina—using human stem cells in a monkey's eye. This achievement could lead to significant advancements in the treatment of macular holes, a condition that can cause distorted or blurred vision, making everyday tasks like reading or driving difficult.

Glucose Control in Brain Cells Could Pave the Way for New Treatments of Neurodegenerative Diseases

A recent breakthrough in understanding the ageing brain has opened up promising avenues for treating neurodegenerative diseases. Researchers have discovered that the decline in neural stem cell activity—a key factor in neurone production—may be due to elevated glucose levels in the brain. By genetically modifying older mice to knock out the glucose transporter gene GLUT4, scientists were able to significantly increase neurone production. This finding not only deepens our understanding of how brain cells age but also suggests potential interventions for brain repair and neurodegenerative disease treatment.

Scientists find cholesterol controlling component of liver can treat anxiety and depression too

A new study identifies liver X receptor beta (LXRβ), a nuclear receptor that plays a significant role in regulating cholesterol, lipid metabolism, and inflammation. as a potential therapeutic target for anxiety and depression, taking a big step towards understanding the biological basis of mental health illnesses. LXRβ has been linked to improved mental health by balancing neurotransmission and cognitive function and its role in cholesterol management.

WHO Expands Single-Dose HPV Vaccine Options to Boost Global Cervical Cancer Prevention Efforts

In a significant advancement towards the global elimination of cervical cancer, the World Health Organization (WHO) has announced the prequalification of a fourth human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine, Cecolin®, for use in a single-dose schedule. This approval is based on recent data meeting the criteria outlined in the WHO’s 2022 recommendations for alternative, off-label use of HPV vaccines in single-dose schedules.

ICMR and NTPC Vidyut Vyapar Nigam Join Forces to Promote Solar Power Adoption in Healthcare Research Facilities

In a landmark move to foster sustainable energy adoption in India’s healthcare and research sectors, the Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR) has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with NTPC Vidyut Vyapar Nigam (NVVN). This collaboration aligns with the Hon’ble Prime Minister’s vision of “Atmanirbhar Bharat” (Self-Reliant India) and aims to contribute to a cleaner, greener future by harnessing solar power for ICMR’s operations across the country.

AIIMS Bilaspur Inaugurates State-of-the-Art Renal Transplant Facility, Strengthening Healthcare Services in Himachal Pradesh

AIIMS Bilaspur marked a significant milestone in its healthcare journey with the inauguration of a state-of-the-art Renal Transplant ICU and Facility. Union Health Minister Shri Jagat Prakash Nadda visited the newly launched facility and interacted with the institute’s first renal transplant recipient and donor. He expressed satisfaction over the successful initiation of renal transplant services within a short span of the institute’s operationalization.

Can Dietary Zinc Help Combat Antimicrobial Resistance? Study Indicates Yes!!

A team of academics is investigating the possible function of zinc, an essential dietary element, in combating antimicrobial resistance (AMR). Their findings imply that zinc may regulate bacterial gene activity in ways that prevent the development of resistant genes, providing a promising new perspective in the global fight against AMR.

In a tactical shift, Bengal Junior Doctors give ultimatum to Govt. to Act

The ongoing protests led by junior doctors in West Bengal have taken a significant turn, with many questioning how long the movement can sustain itself and where it is heading. In the face of mounting pressure, the doctors have decided to change their tactics while continuing to advocate for a prompt and impartial investigation into the allged murder and rape of a young doctor at RG Kar Medical College. The protest's evolving techniques and underlying motivations have sparked heated debate, not only among medical professionals but also among the general public.

New Evidence: Fish Skin Graft Proves Superior for Healing Diabetic Ulcers

A recent collaborative international trial by medical institutions from Europe and the United States proved the major benefits of employing complete fish skin grafts to treat diabetic foot ulcers. The study, which involved 255 patients from various medical centres like the Diabetology Department, Centre Hopitalier Sud Francilien in France, and Mount Sinai Hospital in New York, USA, found that fish skin grafts resulted in faster and more complete healing than normal wound treatment methods.

Researchers Leverage AI for Breakthroughs in Chronic Pain Management

Cleveland Clinic's Genome Centre, in conjunction with IBM, is looking into new ways to treat chronic pain, which affects roughly one in every five Americans. The initiative, led by Feixiong Cheng, PhD, and a team of academics, seeks to develop non-addictive pain therapies through the use of artificial intelligence. The findings, published in Cell Press, emphasise the potential of artificial intelligence in repurposing existing FDA-approved medications for enhanced pain management.
