    Read Time:2 Minute, 50 Second

    This is in alignment with the brand’s mission to help people fight Diabetes with the ancient magic of Ayurveda.

    Mumbai, September 2: Ojamin, a brand established to primarily offer a solution for Type 2 Diabetes, has announced its association with Mr. Girish Oak, a veteran in the Marathi Film Industry.

    Ojamin — a 100% herbal tonic for Type 2 diabetes, was founded in 1974 by Mr. L. K. Tate, B.A. LLB, I.R.S. Asst. Collector of Customs. In addition to treating Type 2 diabetes, the brand also aims at improving the overall health and immunity of its customers.

    In today’s world of cutthroat competition where time is money, short-term solutions have gained a lot of traction. The constant hustle to stay afloat has taken a toll — both mental and physical —  on a majority of people.

    One of the biggest lifestyle diseases that has become a cause of concern is diabetes mellitus. In today’s world, trusted Ayurvedic products are the need of the hour. Ojamin is one such product that addresses lifestyle diseases like diabetes, obesity and COVID-19! It also helps in building mental and physical wellness, which comes as a huge relief to those taking insulin shots.

    This unique association with Mr. Girish Oak brings together two veterans. The two iconic brands epitomize traits like consistency, quality, and trust. The rigorous shooting schedules take a hard toll on the body and exhaust the mind. But, Mr. Oak has never ceased to reinvent himself, and he inspires millions of his followers with his passion for Ayurveda.

    Ojamin promotes the manufacture of Insulin in the body naturally (thereby balancing sugar levels) and, thus, is a holistic remedy for metabolic disorders, poor immunity and building mental and physical wellness. It purifies the blood and is also effective for skin ailments like psoriasis and pimples.

    Commenting on this association, leading Marathi film and theatre actor Mr. Girish Oak says, “Ojamin is a brand with strong Indian roots. I am very excited to come on board as the brand ambassador. Mr Pete’s love for Ayurveda and his vision to help people embrace its goodness resonates with me too. This shall be my first ever Brand Endorsement in the field of Ayurveda. I wish them the best for their mission to provide healthcare solutions to the consumers.

    Commenting on the brand association, Mr Pete Tate, the founder and CEO of MedTate, says, “We as a brand are on a mission of ‘Curing with care’ and are delighted to have Mr. Girish Oak on board. He shares the same enthusiasm and love for Ayurveda as we do!  We strongly believe that this association will be an important milestone in our journey, and we are super elated to have him on board.”

    Ojamin has been in the market for some time, but its chapter began back in the Sixties when Mr. L. K. Tate came up with a unique herbal tonic for his own fight against diabetes. At every stage of its life cycle, Ojamin is committed to exceptional quality. It acts as a bridge, bringing together nature’s best secrets, the beauty of Ayurveda and the modern-day remedies – all in one bottle!

    Wonderchef leads the coffee revolution in India – Primex News Network

    Wonderchef launches a complete range of 9 coffee machines to suit every taste; introduces WondeRent to make coffee accessible to every home.

    Mumbai, Maharashtra, August 29: Coffee is happening in India and the world’s favourite beverage has taken the country by storm. The arrival of international coffee houses in the country prepped customers’ taste buds, and they began to discern between their espressos and cappuccinos, between arabica and robusta beans. People now miss their coffee shot if they don’t get one during the day and when a guest comes home, the host now wants to serve coffee to give an elevated experience.

    Wonderchef has been quick to spot this trend and as always, has taken the initiative of leading the change. The company has launched a full stack of 9 coffee machines, right from the French Press and Brew Machines to 5-Bar and 15-Bar Espresso Machines that give the same experience as a coffee bar. For those fond of coffee from pods or capsules that contain powder hermetically sealed at the origin, there is a machine that makes fine espresso from these pods at the touch of a button. A frother is at hand to magically convert your espresso shot into a cappuccino.

    The pièce de resistance is the fully-automatic coffee machine that can make espresso, cappuccino, latte, macchiato or americano in a jiffy. The machine has an inbuilt grinder that uses coffee beans to make fresh powder for each cup thus ensuring your drink is always rich and aromatic. This machine is perfect even for small offices of the growing start-up ecosystem in the country that thrives on energy and intellect.

    Mr. Ravi Saxena, Founder and CEO of the company said, “We expect coffee to explode in India.

We are targeting revenue of INR 1 billion in two years from this category.”

  • GenepoweRx and Onco.com collaborate to bring world-class, affordable advanced gene sequencing technology for cancer patients to India – Primex News Network

    GenepoweRx and Onco.com collaborate to bring world-class, affordable advanced gene sequencing technology for cancer patients to India – Primex News Network

    New Delhi, August 27: Advanced genetic sequencing for cancer patients would now become more affordable and easily accessible with the newly announced collaboration between GenepoweRx, India’s most trusted Genetic Testing company, and Onco.com, India’s leading patient-centric cancer care management platform. These two well-known names in their industries have agreed to work together in carrying out advanced cancer genomics tests and reporting accurate recommendations specific to the Indian population towards targeted therapy in cancer.

    As per WHO 2020 report, 1 in 10 Indians will develop cancer in their lifetime, and 1 in 15 will die of the disease. Average survival after the diagnosis improved significantly after the advent of targeted therapies. Targeted therapy is an advanced and new form of cancer treatment which focuses on the root causes, i.e. genetic changes or mutations that turn healthy cells into cancer cells. There are over 82 FDA-approved targeted therapy drugs covering more than 15 types of cancers, including those of the breast, prostate, colon, and lung; these targeted therapies work precisely if the tumour has the right target. To use targeted therapy, the oncologist recommends genetic tests to understand the genetic changes responsible for cancer cell growth. With the growing incidents of cancer in India and the rising need for oncogene-specific genetic testing specific to the Indian population, this collaboration is a much-needed hope for cancer patients.

    Onco.com is India’s leading patient-centric cancer care management platform offering end-to-end support to cancer patients and their families. It has a PAN-India presence with over 1500 oncologists and more than 500 treatment centres, including hospitals, clinics, and Onco cancer centres.

    GenepoweRx, is India’s most trusted Genetic Testing company founded by Dr. Kalyan and Dr. Hima, both American Board-certified Internal Medicine Physicians with over 10 years of training and experience in clinical genomics from prestigious Stanford and Harvard University. The company takes pride in developing India’s first comprehensive Cancer Genetic Test – OncoRx, which will help oncologists to prescribe targeted therapy drugs. OncoRx is the only genetic test powered by Artificial Intelligence (AI) algorithms using US-based Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center’s Precision Oncology Knowledge Base, the only FDA-recognized database for cancer to identify gene mutations associated with solid tumors and to provide accurate recommendations specific to the Indian population.

    There are significant variations in the cancer genome changes between different ethnicities. Recently, the data analysis from the world’s oldest and only FDA-approved database from Memorial Sloan Kettering cancer centre revealed that EGFR mutations are more common in Asians (56%) when compared with Caucasians (16%). GenepoweRx bio-medical-informatics team has sequenced over 100 solid tumor samples in recent months and found that there are mutations which have specific therapies and facilitated the provision of specific medications on compassionate grounds from international drug manufacturers. Many novel mutations found in our population have not been reported so far in the global database. GenepoweRx is currently working on publishing these findings and deciphering the clinical importance.

    Dr. Kalyan, Founder – GenepoweRx shares, “We are proud to collaborate with Onco.com. More sequencing of tumor cells is needed. We carry a mutual goal of bringing world-class advanced testing to all our patients at an affordable cost. This partnership will provide more insights into the reasons for the rise in cancer and possibly identify new targeted therapies. Collaborations like these will help improve the masses’ cancer treatment options.”

    Dr. Amit Jotwani, Co-founder and Chief Oncologist, says, “I believe collaboration is the way forward to bring meaningful advancements in the fight against cancer. Cancer Genomics testing is gaining tremendous interest due to its ability to identify the most effective targeted treatments, but at the same time, the test outcomes may not give clear results due to the complexity of different mutations that may be found. Additionally, a limited understanding of mutation patterns in Indian patients makes it difficult to develop targeted therapies. Collaboration with GenepoweRx’s AI-based platform will help us better understand cancer-causing mutations among the Indian population, which in turn would help us develop more effective and affordable drugs”.

    In the era of personalized medicine, genomic testing is an indispensable tool. It will lead to informed decisions and better patient outcomes with reduced side effects.

Additionally, a limited understanding of mutation patterns in Indian patients makes it difficult to develop targeted therapies. Collaboration with GenepoweRx’s AI-based platform will help us better understand cancer-causing mutations among the Indian population, which in turn would help us develop more effective and affordable drugs”.

    In the era of personalized medicine, genomic testing is an indispensable tool. It will lead to informed decisions and better patient outcomes with reduced side effects.

    THAP sets out to make mental healthcare accessible and judgement free – Primex News Network

    August 26: India’s Mental Health Crisis has exploded in the past two years owing to the isolation and anxiety brought about by the pandemic. Access to mental healthcare in India is riddled with stigma and promotes a vicious circle of isolation, suppression of agency, and ignorance.

    The Happiness Project (THAP), launched under the guidance of Natasha Sagar, addresses this growing crisis by making mental healthcare accessible and judgement-free. THAP helps users manage a variety of mood disorders, including stress, anxiety, and depression from the comfort of their home in a setting free from judgment.

    The brains behind THAP, Founder CEO Natasha Sagar endeavors to normalize conversations about mental health and establish a healthy environment that encourages mental well-being. THAP caters to all the mental health needs of a person under one roof.

    THAP allows users to schedule online therapy sessions with qualified therapists listed on its platform. Users can choose therapists based on their specific needs and attend therapy sessions discretely from the comfort of their homes. THAP offers users free access to a host of mental wellness tools and resources. The app also makes it simple for users to share their post-therapy homework or journal entries with the therapist ahead of their session in a safe and convenient way via the app, allowing them to make better use of their therapy time

    Sharing the idea behind launching the application, Founder CEO Natasha Sagar said, “There was an unfortunate incident that led to the death of a student due to an untreated mental health issue. Despite having access to university counselors, she chose not to use them since mental health is stigmatized. This inspired me to create a  digital mental health management ecosystem where people can privately access mental health resources to conveniently cater to all their wellness needs and goals in one place without being subjected to any stigma. In our continuing efforts to make mental healthcare accessible to all, I would like to expand across India, the US, and the Middle East in the next two years to help people fight the stigma associated with mental health.”

  • Ahmedabad-based doctor creates milestone by conducting pioneering work on TAVR therapy across the globe

    Ahmedabad-based doctor creates milestone by conducting pioneering work on TAVR therapy across the globe

    Read Time:4 Minute, 4 Second

    Dr Abhishek Rajpopat, Senior Consultant Interventional Cardiologist, KD Hospital, Ahmedabad

    Ahmedabad: Transcatheter aortic valve replacement, or TAVR, is an example of such a technology that has been demonstrated to reduce the burden of disease by improving the quality of life and survival of patients with aortic stenosis. It is a specialized procedure under local anaesthesia for replacing the heart valve without surgically opening the chest. This therapy’s objective is to install a new artificial valve to resume work on the damaged aortic valve. The new valve expands when placed, pushing the damaged parts of the valve out of the way and regulating blood flow in the aorta.

    There is a common misconception that aged people should not go for surgeries. With such surgical options available in modern medical science, patients can live healthily and fit life.

    Recently, in April 2022, Ahmedabad-based Dr Abhishek Rajpopat (senior consultant interventional cardiologist, KD Hospital, Ahmedabad) performed the TAVR procedure – catheter-based therapy treatment, on 83 years old patient, a rare surgery and the first of its kind in Nairobi, Kenya. He has been to Nairobi twice and has carried out two TAVR implants. He performed a revolutionary non-surgical procedure by bringing the patient back to good health in two days and giving him a quick recovery. It was a major historical event for Kenya and a significant breakthrough in medical science, which has opened up new horizons in structural valve disease treatment. The patient’s progress was covered in Kenya’s media, and the victory was celebrated on various social media all over the globe.

    Being a TAVR expert, he has successfully conducted several workshop programs on interventional cardiology, catheter-based therapy treatment (TAVR), and Valvuloplasty implants at KD Hospital, Ahmedabad, Gujarat.

    Locally seeing life-saving options and the rewarding results at KD Hospital, with experience of treating 400 plus TAVR patients, he has set the goal to provide services to mankind by helping more and more cardiac patients.

    TAVR is a minimally invasive procedure to repair a small aortic valve (aortic valve stenosis) that does not open properly.

    Traditionally, aortic valve disease was treated with open heart surgery, but since most aortic stenosis is a disease of old age, many people are frail and at high risk for surgery, so they don’t get the option of surgery without substantial risk. For that patient at high risk for surgery, transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) is a very good option and a blessing. TAVR is a planned procedure and requires a few days to organize, which implies a battery of diagnostic tests, CT scans, planning by a team of doctors, and deciding on the right side of the valve. Instead of a large incision, there’s only a small puncture, and it’s less painful. There is a minimized hospital stay with quick recovery. In two to three days, the patient will be able to breathe easily, and their co-morbidities are tackled.

    As far as comprehensive cardiac care is concerned, experience counts. Dr Abhishek enticed his academics in MBBS, MD, and DM from India and received a fellowship in structural heart diseases from Denmark in 2019. Treating cardiac patients for over 11 years, Dr Abhishek Rajpopat is a leading Sr. Cardiologist who is proficient and experienced in conducting one of the largest courses of TAVR therapy across pan India.

    Rendering his patient’s episode with us of TAVR implant conducted in Nairobi, Dr Rajpopat elaborates that” When the old patient came to us, he was experiencing chest pain, shortness of breath, fatigue, and a weaker heart. The patient underwent ECG and 2DEcho on arrival, and it was revealed with an aortic valve narrowed significantly due to deterioration or deposition of calcium with age. It leads to severe debility. Due to his other medical issues, the blood ejected from the left ventricle generally passes through the aortic valve to ensure that it does not return to the heart. Open heart surgery was not possible in his case. The advanced technology TAVR is a one-way process which is the safest and best option for him, but it was a challenging time for us as his radiant was indicated high. It took some 2 hours to proceed. A team of cardiologists and I implanted a new valve without opening the chest cavity. To everyone’s joy, the patient was discharged in two days and showed remarkable progress on the path of recovery.”

    Brimming with positive energy, he ended with a note that “It was a proud moment for me to look at the patient who gets a new lifetime lease after (TAVR).
