  • POST-COVID patient with lung complication undergoes successful surgery – First in north Kerala (Malabar)

    Kozhikode (Kerala) [India], June 1: A 52 years old gentleman hailing from Beypore presented to PVS hospital, Calicut, Kerala on the night of 22 May 2021 in a critical condition with high fever, left chest pain, cough, and severe breathlessness. He had received treatment elsewhere for the past 5 days with no relief. In his medical history he revealed that he had contracted COVID a few months earlier for which he took treatment, and before that, he was perfectly healthy and was leading an active life and attending to his construction business. Although he became negative for COVID, he never fully recovered and was visibly tired. He was admitted to the ICU under the care of the physician Dr. Sruthi Haridas. Despite Oxygen administration, his saturation level was only around 92 %. He was diagnosed to have pneumonia and fluid in the left chest. His respiratory distress worsened despite powerful antibiotics. Non-invasive ventilation and needle drainage of fluid were done with little success.

    As his condition rapidly deteriorated, expert opinion was sought from Senior Pulmonologist and Intensive Care Consultant Dr. Ajit Bhaskar who suspected the possibility of pus in the chest cavity. CT scan revealed pneumonia in the left lung along with a fluid-like image causing complete lung collapse. The patient was living only on his right lung which too was partially damaged due to COVID.

    Noted Thoracic Surgeon Dr. Nasser Yusuf was called in to consider the possibility of surgery. The initial attempt by tube drainage was unsuccessful as the pus had become rock solid and trapped the left lung preventing it from expanding.

    The challenge was operating on a COVID Lung. Although COVID had come to India on January 27, 2020, and subsequently became a pandemic, only of late the sequelae – long-term complications are being recognized which could be devastating. A search of the world literature on Surgery of lung complications revealed very little. The main fear is surgery as well as invasive ventilation in an already damaged lung as they could further compromise the lung function. The gravity of the situation was clearly explained to the family. Having little other option, the family consented.

    On 6 June 2021, he was taken up for urgent surgery. The finding was of fleshy and hardened pus amounting to a kg and forming a thick layer around the lung. This was removed with difficulty and the trapped lung was freed by stripping the thickened layer around the whole lung in a manner similar to peeling wallpaper off a wall. This expectedly caused laceration injury and bleeding from the lung. The entire procedure lasted 6 hours. The patient was then carefully taken off the ventilator by the Anesthetists Dr. Nalini Warrier and Dr. Anu Thomas.

    Postoperative improvement in lung function was remarkable and his Oxygen saturation slowly returned to normal levels. The patient was under the care of Dr. Abdul Rehman, Pulmonologist, and discharged successfully without oxygen exactly 1 week after surgery.

    Post COVID syndromes usually affect mainly the lung, heart, and brain. Lung fibrosis is known to occur and last as long as up to 6 months. Some patients with lung complications following COVID such as Pneumothorax, Ruptured Lung (Bronchopleural fistula), Cavities, Bullae, Bronchiectasis, lung infarct, empyema, and entrapment may benefit from surgery says Dr. Nasser Yousuf MS., MCh, FIACS, FICC who is also trained in UK.

  • Brookfield Properties creating a work destination, inspired by history and designed for the future

    Noida (Uttar Pradesh) [India], July 1: Tower 11 at Candor TechSpace, Sector 135, Noida product feature and a Walkthrough Video. Workspaces constitute 70% of a working individual’s day and subsequently are directly related to their well-being. Therefore, we must rethink and redefine our design ideologies that shape the workspaces of tomorrow. Incorporating local architectural language into buildings has fostered a sense of belonging, enhanced comfort in the built environment, and encouraged community building. As most organisations strive to create landmark architecture, this has made it essential for global institutions and organisations to contextualise the built environment as they develop campuses worldwide. For instance, the recent Taj Mahal-inspired office built by Microsoft in Noida has set the precedence for this very ideology.

    As most workforces now prepare themselves to return to the office, Noida’s biggest and finest workspace, Candor TechSpace Sector 135, will soon have a new addition to its expansive campus that creates a distinctive landmark. Candor TechSpace’s Tower 11 brings workspaces that abide by international standards while celebrating, utilising, and contemporising historical and architectural design knowledge. Tower 11 will create a work destination that blurs the line between a workspace and a place of wellbeing and community with enhanced productivity and creativity,” shares Alok Aggarwal, Managing Director & CEO, Brookfield Properties. The design for Tower 11 draws spatial understanding and syntax from local architecture and embedded space-making techniques from multiple monuments such as the India Gate and the Taj Mahal to create a contemporary and future-ready office building. The new addition will offer workspaces that revolutionise and redefine how we perceive our work environments.

    Contemporising materiality that is rooted in tradition

    The Tower 11 executive entrance façade

    An amalgamation of brass and black mirror details to exuberate regality and monumentality.

    Tower 11 is an amalgamation of symbolic as well as physical derivations of regional architecture that are contemporised for functional efficiency and maximum performance. For instance, the form of the building is inspired by the volumetric characteristics of the India Gate. The two-building volumes have been articulated as two distinct elements united by a core and a striking façade in the central axis. The facade recreates a contemporary adaptation of the triumphant arch of the India Gate that embraces regality and through its form recreates the opulent yet welcoming aesthetic. On the one hand, detailed in dark glass panels and brass, the facade with its regal tonality recreates sturdiness like the carved stones of India Gate as the rays of the sun reflect off it. On the other hand, the high-performance facade maximises pleasant daylight ingress with minimal heat gain and glare control to create comfortable indoor environments.

    Though the tower acts as a climax to the axial Candor campus, it also marks the entry into an elegant yet opulent built environment. Inspired by the Taj Mahal’s ethos, the entrance lobby is a three-storied volume, with white marble walls that offer monumentality and grandeur to every visitor. Well-Designed and optimised, expansive floor plates with minimised space wastage create seamless, functional, and efficient spaces. The frequent use of marble to create textured walls along with recessed light fitting details make the interiors a contemporary manifestation of the Taj Mahal while creating a clean and spotless interior finish.

    The building design focuses on crafting experiences and maximum efficiency, with expansive green landscapes, a workspace that creates an experience like no other. Describing the same, architect Ricardo Bofill, Principal Chief Architect for Tower 11, shares, “Orientation through the building is always straightforward with no dark corners, no notches, and no wasted corridors. The office space is well lit naturally, with great views. The ground floor is a mix of marble lobbies in elegant white shades and overlooks a black mirror reflective water feature, with a lush garden all around. This creates a freshly-ventilated interior space with a perspective towards the campus, providing a place-making experience rarely seen before in an office building.”

    Building Monumentality

    The black mirror reflective water body and Tower 11

    The black mirror water body at the heart of the campus and the very entrance of Tower 11 create a serene and soothing campus ethos.

    “We wanted to imbibe the quality of placemaking that historical public buildings offer, and therefore, the campus planning draws inspiration and learning from ancient planning techniques of the iconic Taj Mahal”, shares Alok Aggarwal, Managing Director & CEO, Brookfield Properties. Amalgamating tradition with modernity, with Tower 11 as the central focus, the axial planning adds monumentality and regality. The black glass reflection water body located in the foreground surrounded by lush greens modernises the ancient planning and cooling techniques while employing placemaking tools to generate a stimulating environment. The focus on linearity in shared spaces creates a sense of cohesive continuity with segregated vehicular and pedestrian circulation to define public areas. The water body also becomes the central pause point, cushioned by the surrounding landscape, and housed within the pedestrian thoroughfare.

    The campus is equipped with amenities, ranging from curated retail, fitness centres, food courts, and food outlets, coffee shops, banking facilities, creche facilities, all of which are distributed within the 30,000 sq. ft. amenities block. The design focus for the public areas is not to landscape or hardscape, but people-scape to curate experiences that stimulate and excite the end-user. “Under the shadows of the frangipani trees and transported by the fragrance of tropical flowers, we are hoping to create a new place, a new destination for each end-user to write his or her own story”, shares Ricardo. The ecology focuses on pedestrian mobility, the air, and the sounds that create a built environment that can inspire the end-user and open the mind to a depth of experiences.

    The campus offering   4.5 M Sf of leasable area is designed with modern sensibilities to remain committed to the health and environment of the building occupants and the communities within which it operates, generating a larger positive impact. Drawing from most historical architecture that is environment-friendly, the campus is ecologically conscious with new-age technology and historical planning techniques to create a microclimate. With distributed green landscapes, waste management systems, water management, and recycling, energy efficiency, reduced use of fossil fuels, health and well-being of its occupants, and more, the building has been awarded a Platinum rating by the Indian Green Building Council (IGBC). To ensure that the best quality environments are provided to the users, the campus also incorporates air purifiers, mainly electrostatic filters with EC fans for purified air quality, that provide ideal AQI levels to all inhabitants.

    A power-packed Workspace solution

    The Candor TechSpace campus offers an unparalleled connectivity advantage as it is directly connected to the metro station as well as flaunts direct access to the 12 lanes signal free expressway. Subsequently, the campus is well connected to the Noida CBD, Ghaziabad as well as East Delhi. To foster a holistic living experience, the campus is located within an integrated township with proximity to residential and social infrastructure.

    Tower 11 at the Candor TechSpace, Sector 135 is a workspace solution that keeps the users and inhabitants as the highest priority through design. It is an integrated workspace destination that amalgamates innovation with historical design knowledge to create a building that is a notch above its contemporaries. “Through Tower 11, we reimagined how workspaces are conceived and can push the limits of design to achieve a better work-life balance and experience, better infrastructure, better healthcare, better sustainability initiatives, better wellbeing initiatives for our occupants, and subsequently a campus beyond the workplace. We aim to create a work destination,” shares Alok Aggarwal, Managing Director, and CEO, Brookfield Properties.

  • Believers Church Medical College Hospital ties up with Vieroots for EPLIMO Personalized Lifestyle Management

    Thiruvalla (Kerala) [India], June 30:  Believers Church Medical College Hospital, Thiruvalla, Kerala, has become the first multi-specialty hospital in India to offer the EPLIMO Personalized Lifestyle Management solution pioneered in India by Vieroots Wellness Solutions, a health-tech startup that was launched last year amid the pandemic’s first wave.

    Vieroots was founded by the Pioneer of Indian BioHacking Dr. Sajeev Nair, a renowned wellness evangelist, biohacker, lifestyle coach, and wellness author. His recent bestseller, ‘The Making of a Superhuman’ familiarized this part of the planet with cutting-edge innovations in wellness like biohacking and personalized epigenetic lifestyle modifications.

    Believers Church Medical College Hospital (BCMCH) was founded in 2014 and is a sprawling 743-bedded hospital with several specialities and super-specialities. Noted for offering the latest medical technologies in cardiology, nephrology, oncology, transplantation, and more, this NABH accredited hospital has now become the first multi-speciality hospital to offer EPLIMO Personalized Lifestyle Management from Vieroots.

    For Vieroots, this is all about entering the mainstream healthcare community. Speaking after the launch of this tie-up at the BCMCH campus on Friday, Vieroots CEO Aditya Narayan said this is the first in a string of such tie-ups being planned with leading hospitals across India.

    Today’s launch was attended by leaders from both sides including BCMCH Manager, Rev. Fr. Sijo Pandapallil; Director & CEO, Dr. George ChandyMatteethra; Dr. Geomcy George, Special Executive Officer; and a professional team from Vieroots led by its CEO Aditya Narayan and Director & COO, Sajeev VP.

    Ten doctors at BCMCH became the first EPLIMO clients there, and a permanent EPLIMO Desk was launched at the hospital for this novel solution that geno-metabolically finds chances for 200 lifestyle diseases and keeps them at bay through personalized lifestyle changes.

    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, including 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 developed world, especially in recent years, hospitals have started delivering lifestyle modification counselling and services also, as medical insurance companies cover lifestyle modifications too. Medical insurers there do even more, like the highly effective weight loss incentive, in which a special discount is provided on insurance renewal if the client loses 7-10% of weight a year. It will take time for such ideas to be implemented in India. With this tie-up, Vieroots has initiated a new dimension of World Class Health care 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 is available in only a handful of developed countries will be available from Believers Church Medical College Hospital from now on.

  • Community Engagement is Essential to Promote Vaccination

    Awareness is the key to defeat COVID-19

    New Delhi [India], June 29: As India is recording daily huge drops in the number of active cases; the fear of the third wave is still inevitable. It is a noble idea to get the whole country vaccinated as soon as possible and secure the whole nation against unprecedented circumstances.

    Following a surge in infections that killed hundreds of thousands, NGO groups are spreading the word about receiving COVID-19 shots to India’s poor and old, and transporting some to vaccination centers in rickshaws and cabs.

    The Gunjan Foundation, which provides free education and humanitarian work to underprivileged and orphaned children, has concentrated its efforts on poorer neighborhoods, where many people lack even basic knowledge about immunizations, according to the organization.

    “We found out that a whole lot of people above 60 weren’t even aware that they could vaccinate and protect themselves. To promote awareness we have been sharing links related to vaccination drive through our social media so they know how and where to get vaccinated,” Founder and MD, Gunjan Foundation, Sushma Singhvi said.

    “The Central government has begun the free vaccination for all campaign for every Indian and I believe the biggest beneficiary of this phase of India’s vaccination drive shall be the poor, the middle class, and the youth of the country. I request every citizen of India to get vaccinated. Together we will defeat Covid-19. We have been counselling parents of the children of our school to get the vaccination; we are in talks with the local RWA and plan to let them use our school premises as a Vaccination Centre. We have ensured that our personal and official staff faces no difficulty in getting their jabs,” she added further.

    Sawan Karan Giri

    Moreover, prominent celebrities and influencers in the entertainment and sports industries, including singers and athletes, have already received their first corona vaccination shots. Sawan Karan Giri, a singer from Bihar, received his first dose of the vaccine and shared photos from the vaccination centre with his admirers, urging them to be vaccinated as well. Despite the fact that his account was hacked and he had to deal with the consequences, he believes that all public figures may use social media to steer their particular communities in the path towards vaccination. Karan has millions of fans on social media, and he is spreading the word about the need of being vaccinated and staying protected from the deadly coronavirus. @sawankarangiriofficial is Karan’s new Facebook page.

    Karan’s most common form of community participation is organising vaccination awareness camps, as well as visiting vaccination centres to motivate and thank people for choosing to be vaccinated. Other celebrities too are teaming up with non-profit organisations to help COVID19 patients and cure them, with a focus on those who are hesitant to obtain the vaccine. A door-to-door COVID-19 vaccination campaign is not practicable, according to the government, due to the risk of contamination and wastage. As a result, it plays an essential part to use social media to encourage people to be vaccinated.

Despite the fact that his account was hacked and he had to deal with the consequences, he believes that all public figures may use social media to steer their particular communities in the path towards vaccination. Karan has millions of fans on social media, and he is spreading the word about the need of being vaccinated and staying protected from the deadly coronavirus. @sawankarangiriofficial is Karan’s new Facebook page.

    Karan’s most common form of community participation is organising vaccination awareness camps, as well as visiting vaccination centres to motivate and thank people for choosing to be vaccinated. Other celebrities too are teaming up with non-profit organisations to help COVID19 patients and cure them, with a focus on those who are hesitant to obtain the vaccine. A door-to-door COVID-19 vaccination campaign is not practicable, according to the government, due to the risk of contamination and wastage. As a result, it plays an essential part to use social media to encourage people to be vaccinated.

  • “Shuddhi Ayurveda” focuses on the holistic improvement of human health

    Zirakpur (Punjab) [India], June 30: The medicating effects of Ayurveda have been well known over the decades. It has been one of the most effective medical alternatives that originated in the Indian subcontinent and slowly moved to the world for its healing power. However with time, as several new contemporaries have come to the market, Ayurveda has suffered several setbacks from the audience. Thus, the founder of the Ayurveda brand Shuddhi Ayurveda, Guru Manish has urged a high-end committee to reorganize and promote India’s own medicinal herbs, which have been the ‘cure’ when several other remedies have failed.

    Guru Manish Ji founded Shuddhi Ayurveda years ago with an aim to giving aid to people through natural medicine. Just like the meaning of the word “Shuddhi ” is organic or pure, it is claimed that all the products of this Ayurveda brand are made with such natural ingredients. Old therapies were studied for years and the medical potions were restored before the creation of this brand. Shuddhi Ayurveda is an ISO 22000 approved brand and has also all the relevant certifications from FSSAI, FDA along WHO-GMP. The brand also suggests that its aim is not only to keep the body physically fit or away from physical diseases by fighting and detoxifying unwanted elements but it has a greater holistic approach to it. Shuddhi Ayurveda’s purpose is to keep the body, mind, and soul in peace by applying the essence of the ancient Vedic methodologies. Another reason for the company to use shudh (organic and natural) products is the development of the body’s power of adaptability without any side effects. The founder of Shuddhi Ayurveda also says that natural products have been designed through a comprehensive procedure that will give the users a good “ayu” (life expectancy) through Veda (natural sciences).

    The human body gets easily exposed to a variety of germs, pollution, and other viruses. With the right advice and right use of these ayurvedic products, a proper and disciplined lifestyle can be easily maintained. Shuddhi Ayurveda believes that the brand has the ability to detoxify the human body by flushing out remnants from all its organs. It has well researched and Ayush-approved medicines that are proven to be beneficial for immuno-power and also to act as a formidable shield against different diseases. According to the founder, thus a judicious mix of Ayurveda, yoga, and naturopathy has the required propensity to keep ailments at bay by strengthening the natural immunity of the human body to fight pathogens.

    Shuddhi Ayurveda has more than 160 clinics across India with the corporate headquarters located near Chandigarh in Zirakpur, Punjab.  Guru Manish aims to spread his work more across the country, as many people these days are prone to various artificial and malicious remedies which have only harmed them. He thus wants people to know and educate about the goodness of Ayurveda. Besides, the ayurvedic products are also cost-effective and are affordable. These are all the many reasons that Shuddhi Ayurveda founder Guru Manish has called for the organisation of this committee. He believes it should be a collective effort that should be implemented for public wellness.
