September 02: We have so many scanners to diagnose the health of the body, but what about the mind? Evidently, it is even ten times more crucial to be emotionally healthy while you have the responsibility of raising and nurturing another human from a null point. And this is precisely where Mind Studios aids and backs the parents. Their PREGSHIFT Program is changing the way we perceive pregnancy, child-birth and parenting, with one happy pregnancy and child-raising at one time.

People often fail to comprehend the correlation between the apprehensive nine months of pregnancy and the upcoming 14 years of a growing child’s life. These initial 14 years is the ideal time to reprogramme, shape and nurture a child right, inside out. It is also the foundational period that will decide the course of his entire life. Having transformed the lives of over 9000 clients from more than 13 countries across the globe, Mind Studios fill this complex journey with contentment and bliss. With their two decades of international exposure and experience, they use the DFR model to bring a unique blend of solutions for these couples in distress.

Mikita has mapped all the essential buttons of the mind and the body that only need to be pushed to pull out someone’s healthier and happier version. They had helped couples in smooth conceiving even when both the fallopian tubes of the mother were blocked. They have successfully aided and rescued a woman from severe trauma that her three miscarriages had pushed her into, leading to a mindful fourth pregnancy which went normal and was rejoice-worthy by both the parents. They delivered an extraordinary cure when a couple brought their 10-year-old child who had the problem of stammering and allergies, and in no time, he was better than fit. They traced the root cause of his issues to be lying at the time of the 3rd trimester of his mother when he was in the womb.

They reverse engineer the problem-causing pathways. Their firsthand experience has endowed them with the proficiency to engineer modules, plans, and training to save the parents from raising a mediocre child and build up the best bundle of talent, skills, manners and joy.

Today, Mind Studios is one of the top 10 psychology-based analytics, consulting, and training companies worldwide. They have been successfully transforming lives with their distinct offering since 2000. Their eccentric use of 12+ modalities, like metaphor and handwriting analysis, and clinical psychology, to reprogram the mind makes them a nonpareil leader in the industry. They help couples identify and break their blocking patterns and rebuild their world starting from neuroplasticity, chromotherapy, and cognitive behaviour therapies.

They have been of enormous help to young and maturing parents and pregnant, to-be mothers and fathers to help them deal with everything in these crucial times. They strive to change the world while reaching out to one home, one family, and one person at a time. If you are expecting a baby soon or have just had one, visiting them might be your call to make the perfect change happen. Let’s embrace parenthood and its intricate beauty together.

Calicut (Kerala) [India], August 4: Meitra Hospital Kozhikode, one of South India’s most advanced quaternary care hospitals, takes a mega step forward towards introducing advanced, innovative, and cutting-edge technology to ensure faster and complete recovery of patients requiring joint replacement surgeries by introducing, for the first time in South Asia, the Smith & Nephew CORI robot-assisted surgical system. The launch of this state of art technology today in the presence of Cine Superstar Padmashree Bharath Mammootty as the Chief Guest, Faizal  Kottikollon, Chairman, Meitra Hospital, Dr. Ali Faizal, Director, Meitra Hospital & Senior Consultant – Department of Cardiology, Meitra Hospital, Dr. George Abraham – Chairman, Centre of Bone and Joint Care, Meitra Hospital and Dr. Sameer Ali Paravath – Consultant and Head – Joint Replacement and Arthroscopy, Meitra Hospital.

The innovative robotic joint replacement technology takes a giant leap in ensuring probably the best possible clinical outcome for patients wherein the surgeries can be done with ultimate precision and accuracy, minimal blood, tissue, and bone loss, minimal pain and post-surgery trauma for patients and most important & significantly a quicker post-surgery recovery period for the patients thereby robot-assisted joint replacement surgeries will prove to be a boon for patients in India and in Kerala particularly.

The advanced and innovative technology used by robotic surgical tools helps the surgeons devise a customised plan based on the uniqueness of the case and the patient’s anatomy using a 3-D digital real-time model of the joint and then perform the joint replacement surgery including total and partial knee replacements with greater precision and accuracy. The 3D view helps the surgeon assess and finalise the best choice of implant required for the patient to ensure faster recovery with minimal blood, tissue, and bone loss. Thereby it will ensure a more natural feel and movement of your joint with better longevity and survival of your implant than conventional surgeries or other types of computer-assisted surgeries.

The addition of CORI-Robotic Joint Replacement Surgical System makes Meitra’s CoE of Bone & Joint Care a fully equipped center to conduct all kinds of Total or Partial Knee and Hip Replacement surgeries thus, making Meitra Hospital the first and only training center for conducting Robotic Arthroplasty (Joint Replacement Surgery) in India.

“As clinical experts, our duties are not limited to only diagnosing a disorder and treating it. We invest a lot of our efforts in understanding the latest technologies in medical science that can help ease a patient’s pain and our efforts to cure them with minimal damage. Joint replacement surgeries using robot-assisted technologies and surgical tools have made the process more accurate and help us plan these surgeries. I am happy that Meitra Hospital has taken the initiative to launch a dedicated facility for Robot-assisted joint replacement surgeries and I am sure that this will help patients recover faster with reduced pain, less blood loss, and shorter hospital stay,” said Dr. George Abraham, Chairman – Bone and Joint Care, Meitra Hospital.

Citing the necessity of adapting robot-assisted joint replacement surgeries, Dr. Sameer Ali Paravath, Consultant and Head – Joint Replacement and Arthroscopy, Meitra Hospital explained, “The traditional methods of joint replacement surgeries, namely the pre-surgery planning methods such as CT scan and MRIs only gave an understanding of the problems in the joints, however, with robot-assisted surgical tools, we have taken a step forward. Since each patient and their anatomies are unique, we cannot use the same methods of surgery on everyone. With robot-assisted surgical tools like CORI Surgical System, we, now can plan the surgery and make the cuts and implant placement with 100% precision and accuracy. These tools ensure that the patients recover and regain normalcy in their lives faster than usual.”

Expressing his delight on the launch of the specialised section of Robot-assisted Joint Replacement Surgery Department at the hospital, Mr. Faizal E Kottikollon, Chairman – Meitra Hospital shared, “Meitra Hospital has always been on the forefront of adopting cutting-edge technologies and delivering high-quality clinical services and uncompromised patient care. Our scientifically augmented infrastructure, state-of-the-art facilities backed by expert teams of doctors have earned us innumerable laurels since our inception. Robot-assisted surgeries have given a new dimension to curing patients and ensuring optimum level of healthcare services delivered to our patients who can now walk out of the hospital with relatively lesser damage post-surgery and heal faster than usual. Having the best robotic surgical tools such as CORI has only helped us yield the best results during such complicated surgeries.”

“Using traditional methods during joint replacement surgeries is no longer an option considering the advancements and innovations in medical technology. Robot-assisted technologies such as CORI Surgical Systems help our doctors diagnose a health problem and pre-plan a surgery, thus providing consistent and predictable results of the efforts and skillsets of both the surgeon and the accuracy of the technology used. The department is an example of our efforts to ensure safety and complete recovery from problems for our patients and we will continue to introduce such innovative technologies at our hospital that would be ably backed by highly trained doctors and state-of-the-art infrastructure,” remarked Dr. Ali Faizal, Director & Senior Consultant – Cardiology, Meitra Hospital.

The Centre of Excellence for Bone and Joint Care at Meitra Hospital, recently, earned recognition from the National Board of Examinations and being awarded the prestigious training programs of FNB Arthroplasty and FNB Spine Surgery.

Meitra Hospital is a 220-bed quaternary care facility spread across a 4.5 million square feet area in the lush greens of Kerala. Established with a vision of creating the best healthcare delivery system in India, the inception of Meitra Hospital was a culmination of collaboration of industry leaders across the world- Patient-Centric Design in collaboration with TAHPI Australia, Superior Hospital Infrastructure manufactured at KEF Holdings’ Offsite Manufacturing Facility, and Care-Path Model developed under the advice of Cleveland Clinic physicians.

In a short span of three years, its six centres of excellence- Heart and Vascular Care, Neurosciences, Bone and Joint care, Gastro Sciences, Kidney Health & Transplantation, Blood Disorders, Bone Marrow Transplant and Cancer Immunotherapy -have established themselves as amongst the best in South India.

The hospital is completely paperless, utilizes a unit dose drug delivery system, and has implemented clinical pathways for key specialties. It has 7 state-of-the-art operation theatres, South India’s first robotic hybrid Cath Lab and 52 one-of-its-kind individualized ICU cubicles. Other medical technologies include a 3-tesla state-of-the-art, cutting edge MRI machine; a 128-slice CT Scan, an O-Arm, tele-ICUs, and many more advanced technologies which will be introduced shortly.

Ottapalam (Kerala) [India], July 19:  PK Das Institute of Medical Sciences, near Ottapalam, in Kerala has become the next multi-specialty hospital in India to offer the EPLIMO Personalized Lifestyle Management solution pioneered in India by Vieroots Wellness Solutions, an innovative health-tech startup that was launched last year amid the pandemic’s first wave.

Earlier, June this year, Believers Church Medical College Hospital, Thiruvalla, Kerala, had started offering EPLIMO. Vieroots’ Founder & Chairman, Dr. Sajeev Nair informed that the company is in talks with more hospitals across India to deploy this game-changing solution in healthcare.

Dr. Sajeev Nair is the pioneer of Indian biohacking, renowned wellness evangelist, lifestyle coach, and wellness author. His recent bestseller, ‘The Making of a Superhuman’ familiarized developing countries like India with cutting-edge innovations in wellness like biohacking and personalized epigenetic lifestyle modifications, on which EPLIMO is based upon.

The launch event at PK Das Institute of Medical Sciences was attended by Member of Parliament VK Sreekandan; Rotary District Governor Rajasekhar Srinivasan, PK Das Hospital’s Chairman & Managing Trustee Adv. Dr. P. Krishnadas,  Chief Officer of Public Affairs & Communications Mr. V Sureshkumar,  Vieroots CEO Aditya Narayan & COO Sajeev VP.

PK Das Institute of Medical Sciences (PKDIMS) is a state-of-the-art super-specialty hospital and medical college located near the banks of the river Nila at Vaniamkulam, near Ottapalam in Kerala. The hospital provides world-class healthcare in super-specialties including Cardiology, Neurology, Nephrology, Neuro Surgery, Urology, Gastroenterology, Oncology, Neonatology & Plastic Surgery, as well as in several other general and specialty departments.

Founded by the eminent late academician PK Das who established the Nehru Group of Institutions in Tamil Nadu & Kerala, PKDIMS is also the medical education wing of the Nehru Group.

With more tie-ups happening with major hospitals, Vieroots is fortifying EPLIMO’s presence in the mainstream healthcare community. Speaking after the launch of this tie-up at PKDIMS campus on Friday, 16^th June, Vieroots CEO Aditya Narayan said EPLIMO is not only finding ready acceptance among discerning patients at these hospitals but also with their doctor community, as they readily realize the unique health benefits of EPLIMO Personalized Lifestyle Management.

Lifestyle diseases get their name from the simple fact that they are often triggered by lifestyle factors like overeating, inactivity, sleep loss, stress, pollution, smoking, alcohol, etc. Even when there are underlying genetic factors behind almost all such diseases, the trigger is often a faulty lifestyle that causes metabolic disorders that aggravate these lifestyle diseases.

There are over 200 such common lifestyle diseases like diabetes, high blood pressure, cardiovascular diseases, cancer, dementia, COPD, Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, etc, which are the biggest killers every year. In fact, each of the Top 3 killers – Diabetes, Cardiovascular Diseases & Cancer, takes more lives than Covid-19 annually.

If faulty lifestyles are the triggers, it is only common sense that comprehensive lifestyle modifications can prevent the genetic triggers from getting pulled. This has been not just an assumption but a scientifically validated truth from numerous studies. While the medical community is well aware of this truth, prescribing lifestyle modifications is not part of a hospital’s core activity as their hands are already full with treating people who have already developed such diseases.

In the Western world, especially in recent years, hospitals have started delivering lifestyle modification counselling and services also, as medical insurance companies there cover lifestyle modifications too. It will take time for such ideas to be implemented in India.

Meanwhile, Vieroots on its own had pioneered Personalized Lifestyle Management in India last year by launching EPLIMO, which runs genetic and metabolic assessments of each client to detect geno-metabolic chances for developing any of the hundreds of lifestyle diseases, and suggests Personalized Lifestyle Management spanning diet, nutrition, supplements, exercise, yoga, meditation, stress management, etc to keep such lifestyle diseases at bay. This next-generation technology which so far was available in only a handful of developed countries will be available from PK Das Institute of Medical Sciences, from now on, thanks to Vieroots.

New Delhi [India], July 15: Laparoscopic hernia surgery is an advanced minimally invasive approach that has a very high success rate as compared to open surgery. “There are different treatment options for hernia, but if you are seeking effective treatment that guarantees quick recovery with no complications, laparoscopic surgery is the best resort,” says a senior hernia specialist at Pristyn Care.

Typically, laparoscopic surgery for hernia repair is performed under general anesthesia. It is a key-hole procedure that involves making a small incision near the belly button and inflating the abdomen with CO2 gas. This elevates the abdomen and provides a better view of the pelvic organs for the surgeon.

The surgeon then pushes the hernia back into place with the assistance of a camera-fitted laparoscope. A mesh is occasionally inserted to hold the surrounding muscles in place. This prevents the organ from perforating through the weakened muscles again.

While recovering after a laparoscopic hernia operation, the primary objective is to manage pain, promote wound healing, and regain abdominal muscle health.

Recovery from laparoscopic surgery is different for each patient. Each patient recovers at his own pace.

Factors that play a crucial role in determining the rate of recovery after the laparoscopic hernia surgery include:

• The overall health of the patient
• The extent of surgery
• If there is any intraoperative complication

If you are planning to undergo laparoscopy-assisted hernia surgery and are worried about the outcomes of the surgery, then this is just the right place for you. Read further to find out what a patient experiences after a hernia operation and how to go through the recovery period.

What to Expect After a Laparoscopic Hernia Surgery

Generally, people who undergo laparoscopic hernia repair, experience the following common side-effects from the surgery:

Postoperative pain and discomfort: When a patient awakens from anesthesia in the recovery room, they may experience some discomfort. It is necessary to ensure that the pain is managed appropriately.

Restricted physical activity after surgery: There are no established guidelines for activity following laparoscopic procedures. In some cases, doctors usually recommend not to drive for two weeks. Drive only when you are confident in your ability to stop the vehicle in an emergency; otherwise, have someone drive you. Swimming and bathing are prohibited as well. If you are able, you may take the stairs. When beginning routine exercise following surgery, use common sense and gradually increase your activity level.

Limited Sexual activity: Intercourse should be avoided for at least two weeks after a hernia operation. The period can also vary depending on the extent of the procedure. Sexual activity is typically not restricted following laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair. In such cases, the patient is likely to experience discomfort and pain for a week or two around the incision site.

In male patients, the scrotum may be discolored, tender, or noticeably swollen following surgery. The swelling usually subsides within a week or two and the patient can resume normal activities and sexual intercourse. Indulging in sexual activity before proper healing can result in complications.

Abdominal discomfort / bloating: After laparoscopic hernia surgery, some degree of abdominal pain and swelling can be expected. This occurs due to intestinal distension and resolves over time. Gas pains in the intraperitoneal cavity are caused by gas trapped outside the intestines but within the abdominal cavity.

Nausea: It is a very common side effect of laparoscopy. Anesthesia drugs are the primary reason for nausea following hernia surgery. In addition, pain medication or antibiotics can also cause nausea after the first 24 hours of the surgery. Consult your surgeon if the problem persists for more than 2-3 days.

Pain in the shoulder: Carbon dioxide gas used to artificially boost the abdomen during laparoscopy has the potential to irritate the phrenic nerve. This is due to trapped carbon dioxide gas against the diaphragm (breathing muscle). This irritation feels like pain and discomfort in the chest and up into the shoulder region, a condition referred to as “referred pain.” The discomfort may occur when taking deep breaths. This type of pain after hernia surgery can last for several days. It will eventually resolve on its own, but walking and moving around can assist. Massage, cold/heat packs, and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (such as ibuprofen or paracetamol) frequently provide the quickest relief.

If the pain persists or worsens, it is necessary to rule out other possible causes of chest pain, such as heart or lung problems.

Sore throat: Some patients may experience a sore throat as a result of the tube placed during anesthesia. Lozenges for the throat or warm tea help alleviate the discomfort, which should resolve within a few days.

Minor bruises: Bruises may develop at the incision sites in some patients. This is because of “the trocars,” a type of plastic sleeve that is capable of cutting tiny vessels just beneath the skin. These usually self-resolve. Pain in the area of the incisions is common and will subside over several days. Due to the nerves being cut, you may experience “pins and needles” at the incision site. These nerves will eventually heal.

In addition to managing the above-mentioned side-effects of hernia surgery with the instructions of the doctor, the patient also should ensure the following things:

• Proper wound care: Doctors advise the patients to keep the wounds dry and clean. There is no need for special creams or ointments. The incisions are closed with a suture placed beneath the skin that dissolves naturally. The sutures are covered with a surgical glue called “derma-bond.” This covers the incision and remains in place for at least two weeks. Remove the glue with soap and water and gentle scrubbing only when the doctor allows it.
• Careful while taking shower: Doctors allow you to take shower for only 36 hours following the surgery. The individual can remove any band-aids from the incisions before showering. Also, refrain from itching and using any harsh soaps around the incision site as these can lead to rupturing of sutures and inflammation.

It is normal to notice small pieces of tape (referred to as steri-strips) adhered directly to the skin. It is acceptable to get these small tapes wet while showering. The tapes will begin to peel away from the ends 7–10 days after surgery. At this point, they have served their purpose and the patient may peel them completely off gently. Remember, for two weeks, no baths, pools, or hot tubs to avoid any infections.

• Avoid medication overdose: Prescription medications for postoperative pain should be used sparingly because they have the potential to cause constipation. Narcotic analgesia can occasionally aid in sleep.
• Use a heat pack: It is safe to apply a heat pack to the lower abdomen. Coughing can be a source of discomfort. Using a pillow to support your abdomen while coughing can be beneficial.

What to do in case of severe postoperative problems?

It is quite normal to experience some discomfort and pain for a few days after hernia correction surgery. These usually resolve themselves and are nothing to worry about. However, if the discomforts become intense or you notice any postoperative complications like inflammation, reddening of the skin, and bleeding, get in touch with a hernia specialist.

You can contact a Pristyn Care hernia specialist for expert advice. Pristyn Care houses some of the most skilled specialists and laparoscopic surgeons all across the country. They have treated several hernia patients with negligible complication rates. You can easily book your appointment with one of their doctors through their website www.pristyncare.com.
