New Delhi (India), August 4: In this era of sedentary lifestyles and evolving health challenges, safeguarding our skeletal foundation has never been more critical. On this Bone and Joint Day, we have gathered expert insights aimed at guiding you through effective strategies for preserving your bone and joint well-being.

Dr. Santosh Shetty, MBBS, MS (Ortho), MCh (Ortho), Robotic Joint Replacement, CritiCare Asia Group of Hospitals, Director & HOD of Orthopedics and Joint Replacement – Surana Group of Hospitals, Mumbai

Preserving bone and joint health is vital for sustaining overall mobility, independence, and quality of life, particularly as we age. A balanced diet rich in calcium, vitamin D, magnesium, and other essential nutrients, remains pivotal for bone health. Engaging in regular weight-bearing exercises such as walking or resistance training is essential for promoting bone density and enhancing joint strength. Incorporating flexibility exercises like yoga can also help improve joint mobility. Maintaining healthy body weight is equally important to lessen stress on joints, particularly the knees and hips, thus reducing the vulnerability to joint problems and osteoarthritis. Guarding the joints against injuries using protective gear like knee or elbow pads is advised.

Listen to your body, if you experience joint pain or discomfort during exercise or daily activities, don’t ignore it and consult a healthcare professional to address any issues promptly. Regular medical check-ups play a key role in identifying potential bone or joint issues early, enabling timely intervention and prevention of further complications.

Dr. Sandeep Kapoor, Director Orthopedics & Health City Hospital, Trauma & Joint Replacement Surgeon, Lucknow

Bones serve as scaffolding for the human body & are essential in giving different postures to us, it gives attachment to muscles responsible for the shape of the human body. Joints are an integral part of movement & function, enabling us to perform all our flexible actions involved for survival. Imagine a human body without bones & joints, you will get the answer.

To maintain adequate bone & joint health in all age groups, maintain appropriate nutrition & vitamin D levels, follow a proper exercise regimen to strengthen your muscles & avoid alcohol, smoking, and junk food. Keep your weight under control so as to stay fit throughout your life.

Dr. Vidyasagar Chandankere, MS Ortho, Fellowship in Pediatric Orthopaedic, Consultant Pediatric Orthopedic Surgeon, Hyderabad

Bone is the foundation upon which all other organs are based and protected. Growing children have high metabolic activity and need sufficient vitamins and minerals throughout their growth period. Among these, the most important are Vitamin D and Calcium. Our body can produce Vitamin D upon exposure to sunlight; hence, it is recommended to engage in outdoor activities every day. Physical activities like walking, jogging, and running can promote overall bone and muscle health. Children must be encouraged to consume dairy products, green leafy vegetables, fish, soybeans, and almonds that are rich in calcium.

It is noted that peak bone mass is achieved during the adolescent age group, and this is critical for preventing osteoporosis later in life. Our children represent the future, and they need to possess both a healthy body and a sharp mind. This way, they can reach greater heights and make significant contributions to India’s progress. Wishing everyone a Happy Bone and Joint Day!
 
Dr. Samir Pilankar, MS (Orth), DNB, MNAMS. Fellowship training- Germany, Switzerland & Spain,  Senior Joint Replacement & Arthroscopy surgeon, Sujay & Nanavati Max Hospital, Mumbai
Osteoporosis and osteoarthritis are twin conditions that damage bone and joint health, causing pain and disability. With an extraordinary experience of over 25 years in his career, Dr. Pilankar has served society by preventing the progression of arthritis through awareness programs. These programs aim to help people understand the importance of bone health and focus on preventive measures. Dr. Pilankar advises having a balanced diet with adequate calcium and vitamin D from sources like dairy products or supplements if needed.

In addition, regular exercises like walking, light jogging, and resistance training help stimulate bone formation and strengthen bones. It’s important to avoid high-impact exercises on the hard pavement to prevent arthritis progression. Furthermore, it’s crucial to avoid smoking and alcohol, as both can lead to bone loss. Ensure regular medical check-ups with an orthopedic surgeon and consider a bone density test (DEXA test) if required. In cases of advanced osteoarthritis, robotic knee replacement surgery is a highly effective option for regaining mobility and pain-free life.

Dr. Nitish Khosla, MBBS, MS Orthopaedic, IOA Inland fellow (Joint Reconstruction), Fellow in Traumatology, Assist. Professor Orthopaedics, MMCMSRH, Ambala (Haryana)

Today, there is an emphasis on the importance of preventing and treating one of the silent bone conditions—Osteoporosis. This is a condition where bones become weak and brittle. It occurs when the rate of new bone formation fails to keep up with the rate of old bone loss. Osteoporosis often goes undetected until a sudden fall or impact results in fractures, primarily at the hip and spine. Adopting healthy habits, such as maintaining a healthy weight, engaging in regular exercise, staying physically active, receiving sufficient sunlight exposure, moderating the consumption of alcohol and processed/sugary foods, quitting smoking, and consuming foods rich in calcium and vitamin D can aid in the prevention of osteoporosis. Consistent practice of yoga can alleviate pain, enhance joint flexibility, boost bone mineral density, and reduce stress levels. Consulting an Orthopaedic Doctor can facilitate early clinical and radiological diagnosis (DEXA Scan). Remember – Fractures can be prevented with timely treatment of osteoporosis.

With rising arthritis cases, bilateral knee replacement surgeries are increasing due to their cost and time efficiency. Over the past four years, the team successfully conducted 60+ bilateral knee surgeries. This procedure replaces both knees either on the same day or sequentially and patients with severe arthritis in both knees qualify. Concerns about simultaneous replacement include prolonged surgery and heightened strain on the body, particularly for patients over 80 or with cardiovascular or pulmonary issues. The surgery’s risks include longer duration and heightened strain on the body, potentially leading to cardiac events or transfusion. Rehabilitation can also be tougher due to the absence of a ‘good leg.’

Despite these challenges, the surgery offers the advantage of addressing both knees at once, shortening rehabilitation and hospital stay. However, your doctor may recommend against the simultaneous procedure if you have medical conditions that may place you in a higher risk category. 

Dr. Amith Shetty, MBBS, MS Ortho, Dip. SICOT (Belgium), FIJR(Germany), Sports Injury and Joint Replacement Surgeon – United hospital, Neo hospital, Bangalore
Medical advancements in bone and joint care have brought about groundbreaking innovations that promise a pain-free future for those suffering from these conditions. Regenerative medicine, particularly stem cell therapy, offers a transformative approach to treating osteoarthritis and cartilage injuries. 3D printing provides customized solutions for complex bone conditions, resulting in improved fit and functionality. Robotic-assisted surgeries ensure precise joint replacements, reducing pain and speeding up recovery. Minimally invasive techniques reduce tissue damage and post-operative pain, while wearable technology empowers self-management and rehabilitation. These advancements are revolutionizing orthopedic, providing hope for a brighter tomorrow with effective and personalized solutions for bone and joint health challenges.

Dr. Ranjith Reddy, M.S Ortho, Fellowship in Arthroscopy and sports medicine, Senior Consultant orthopaedic and Arthroscopic Surgeon, Apollo speciality hospital, Chennai

Maintaining optimal bone and joint health is essential for leading an active and fulfilling life. To ensure healthy bones and joints, it is crucial to focus on proper nutrition, including calcium, vitamin D, and protein in your diet. Managing your weight is equally important, as excess weight can strain joints and lead to long-term issues. Engaging in regular exercise, such as weight-bearing activities and low-impact exercises, can strengthen bones and improve joint flexibility. Be mindful of overuse and repetitive stress injuries by taking breaks during intense physical activities. Additionally, practicing good posture and ergonomics can reduce unnecessary strain on your joints. Regular check-ups with your healthcare provider to monitor bone density and joint health are recommended, especially if there’s a family history of bone-related conditions. If considering supplements, always consult with a healthcare professional first. By following these expert tips, you can preserve your bone and joint health, paving the way for a more active and pain-free future.

Dr. Prof. Puneet Mishra, MS Orthopedics, Fellow Hip Preservation and Hip & Knee Arthroplasty (Germany, Switzerland), Additional Director and Unit Head, Department of Orthopedics, Joint Preservation, Trauma and Arthroplasty, Fortis Hospital (Shalimar Bagh), New Delhi

Avascular necrosis of the hip [AVN] in young patients [< 50 yrs] is rampant across the nation. Common causes are post-covid steroid-induced AVN, intake of body-enhancing supplements, alcohol, and smoking. Surgery-related fear and conflicting advice both by society and doctors leave the patient confused. This leads to a delay in treatment, which over a time duration of 6 months to 2 years leads to irreversible hip arthritis (cartilage wear), which then requires total hip replacement with a lifespan of 20 to 25 years only. Hip preservation surgery success rates, even up to stage 3 AVN, reach 85-90% under expert care. Various surgeries range from simple decompression, bone graft, and osteotomy to extremely advanced, safe surgical hip dislocation combined with the above procedures. These surgeries are customized to the patient’s stage of disease. Hence, early diagnosis and expert evidence-based treatment are paramount to preserving one’s native hip and thereby avoiding early total hip replacement in young individuals.

Dr. Om Parshuram Patil, MBBS, MS Orth, FCPS, FCISS, Consulting – Cozderm Skin Clinic & Patil Clinic, Consultant Orthopaedic and Endoscopic Spine Surgeon – Apollo Spectra Hospital, Fortis Hospital, SRV Hospital & ACME Hospital, Mumbai 

Renowned Orthopedic Spine Surgeon Dr. Om Patil celebrates Bone and Joint Day by advocating regenerative therapies’ role in bone health.

Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], August 1: On this Lung Cancer Day, these top oncologists’ experts have shared their expertise to raise awareness among people about the significance of early detection of cancer through cancer screening and maintaining healthy habits.

Dr. Irfan Bashir, MBBS, DNB, Senior Consultant and Head Radiation Oncology Batra Hospital, New Delhi 

Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer death, with thousands of new cases diagnosed every year in India. The incidence of lung cancer has increased several folds, particularly in women. People who smoke or are exposed to secondhand smoke are at greatest risk of developing lung cancer. India is the second-largest tobacco consumer, with estimates suggesting approx. 28% of the population uses tobacco in some form. Lung cancer often produces signs and symptoms in the late stage, thus delaying diagnosis. Signs and symptoms include a recurring cough, coughing up blood, difficulty breathing, and weight loss, which is often misdiagnosed as TB. In the era of personalized medicine, treatment includes surgery, radiotherapy, chemotherapy, and targeted therapy, which is decided based on multiple factors. There is no sure way to prevent lung cancer, but one can reduce the risk by avoiding smoking, adopting a healthy diet and lifestyle, and exercising.

Dr. Chinna Babu Sunkavalli, Clinical Director & Surgical Oncologist- Yashoda Hospital, Hyderabad

Lung cancer is one of the most common cancers in India and accounts for more than 70,000 cases per year. Hence, it is associated with a significant number of lives lost every year due to cancer. The most well-known risk factors are smoking, exposure to asbestos, second-hand smoke, radon gas, and exposure to radiation. In spite of increased cancer awareness over the years, 70% of patients present with advanced stages at presentation, which are associated with poor survival. Therefore, early cancer screening is the only method by which lung cancer can be detected early in its asymptomatic stages. Smokers are at higher risk of lung cancer than non-smokers. Current smokers, people who have stopped smoking in the last 15 years, or those who have smoked for more than 20 pack years should undergo screening for lung cancer by low-dose CT scan for an early diagnosis of lung cancer. Many lung cancers have been incidentally diagnosed during the COVID pandemic with the increased use of CT scans, reinforcing the utility of low-dose CT scans in the evaluation of lung cancers.

Dr. Amit P Gawnde, Consultant Interventional Pulmonologist, Founder – The Lung Health Centre Sujay Hospital, Mumbai

Lung cancer, a leading cause of cancer deaths in India, has seen significant treatment advancements that offer hope to patients and their families, improving both survival rates and quality of life. One key breakthrough lies in targeted therapies, which focus on specific genetic mutations or proteins unique to cancer cells, resulting in increased effectiveness and survival in certain lung cancer subtypes. Additionally, immunotherapy has revolutionized lung cancer treatment by leveraging the body’s immune system to recognize and combat cancer cells. Drugs like checkpoint inhibitors have demonstrated remarkable results, especially in cases where conventional treatments had limited efficacy. Moreover, surgical advancements such as VATS and robotic-assisted surgery have made it possible to remove cancerous tissues with reduced invasiveness, leading to less patient discomfort, quicker recovery, and better treatment outcomes. Lastly, cutting-edge radiotherapy techniques like SBRT and proton therapy have emerged as precise and effective methods for delivering targeted radiation to lung tumors while sparing healthy tissues from damage. Though challenges remain, the unwavering efforts of researchers, healthcare professionals, and advocacy groups bring hope for a future where lung cancer becomes a more manageable and curable condition.

Dr. Sonam Solanki, MBBS, DNB Pulmonary Medicine, PDDM, EDARM  (Europe), Obv in Interventional Pulmonology, Consultant Pulmonologist and Bronchoscopist – INICIO Chest Clinic, Mumbai

Lung cancer has historically been associated with tobacco smoking; however, non-smokers can also be affected due to environmental factors or genetic predisposition. Early diagnosis of lung cancer is crucial, as studies indicate that patients have better survival rates when diagnosed at an early stage. Symptoms of lung cancer can vary, ranging from specific lung-related symptoms like cough, blood in sputum, and breathlessness, to more generalized signs such as weight loss, fatigue, and frequent respiratory infections. For high-risk individuals, a low-dose chest CT scan is recommended as a screening tool, as it can detect small-sized tumors that may be missed by a chest X-ray. Over the years, genetic testing and immunotherapy treatments for lung cancers have advanced significantly, making the diagnosis and treatment more precise. Although the costs have increased, the treatments also have fewer side effects. To reduce the risk of lung cancer, it is essential to encourage smoking cessation and minimize exposure to second-hand smoke and environmental carcinogens. These preventive measures can play a significant role in lowering the likelihood of developing lung cancer.

Dr. Ronak Vyas, MS, Mch (Surgical Oncology), FMAS Cancer Surgeon, Airavat Cancer Care, Ahmedabad

Lung cancer’s significant impact on global cancer-related deaths, including in India, emphasizes the critical role of early detection as a game-changer in the fight against this formidable disease. As a cancer specialist, I stress the vital importance of identifying lung cancer in its initial stages, as it greatly improves treatment outcomes and saves lives. Early-stage lung cancer often lacks symptoms, making screening essential, especially for high-risk individuals like smokers and those exposed to environmental pollutants. Regular Low Dose CT scans enable the detection of potential malignancies before they spread. Timely diagnosis opens doors to more effective treatment options, including advanced surgical.

Dr. Bharat Ashok Vaswani, MD (General Medicine), DM (Medical Oncology), MRCP- UK (Medical Oncology) ECMO, PDCR, Senior Medical Oncologist & Hematologist – Yashoda Hospital, Secunderabad

Lung cancer is the most common cancer in the world and ranks as the most prevalent cancer among males in Metropolitan cities in India. Alarmingly, over 3/4th of newly diagnosed lung cancer cases are detected at advanced stages, making early diagnosis crucial. To aid in the early detection of this deadly disease, a yearly low-dose CT Thorax is recommended for individuals between 50 to 80 years of age, with a smoking history of 20 pack years. The management of lung cancer has witnessed significant progress, with personalized cancer therapy emerging as a game-changer. Targeted therapy, based on molecular alterations, along with immunotherapy and their combination with chemotherapy, have substantially improved overall survival rates. Molecular testing is now mandatory for all newly diagnosed lung cancer patients to determine the most effective treatment approach. However, the most effective way to combat this devastating disease remains prevention. By avoiding the consumption of tobacco and tobacco-related products, we can significantly reduce the incidence of lung cancer. As the saying goes, “Prevention is better than cure”.

Dr. Sanjay Gabhale, MBBS, MD (Respiratory Medicine), IDCCM, Consultant Pulmonologist & Intensivist, Shivneri Hospital, Bhosari, Asst. Prof. Dr. D Y Patil Medical College Hospital, Pune

Lung cancer is the fourth most common cancer, accounting for 8.1% of all cancer deaths in India. It has significant morbidity and mortality due to late presentation to healthcare facilities. Data from various studies suggest that cases were mostly diagnosed in the late 50s and above with a male gender predilection, amongst which approximately 80% were smokers. This suggests disease is preventable by quitting smoking and curable if screened for at-risk individuals. Early detection of suspicious cases with advanced imaging like LDCT, PET-CT, and Interventional bronchoscopic techniques are game changers. Once considered an impenetrable disease with limited options, it has made a significant stride in treatment. From a generalized approach of using chemo-radiotherapy, we have come a long way to targeted therapies, immunotherapy, and a personalized treatment plan for each individual.

Dr. Rahul Bahot, Consultant Intensivist & Chest Physician, HCG Cancer Centre, Mumbai

The beginning of lung cancer is almost asymptomatic, and 85% of the patients are diagnosed at an advanced stage. Their average 5-year survival rate is only 19% despite the advances made in radiation therapy, chemotherapy, immunotherapy, and molecular targeted therapy. On close inspection of these patients, we find that the outcomes of lung cancer treatment depend greatly upon the clinical stage of the cancer at the time of diagnosis. The 5-year survival rates of lung cancer patients vary from 75% at stage I to <10% at stage IV. This difference in survival rate is because, at the earliest stages, lung cancer is smaller in size and has not spread to distant organs. In the initial stages, radical surgery helps increase the five-year survival rate of patients by 20% to 30%. This makes early detection of lung cancer of prime importance.

Dr. S Kumar, MBBS, DCH, MD (Pediatrics), DM (Chest + Respiratory), International Postgraduate Pediatric Certificate (Australia), Child Specialist & Bronchoscopist, Gurgaon

Lung cancer kills more people per year than any other form of Cancer. Early detection is the key to increasing survival rates for patients with lung cancer. Early detection can be challenging as common symptoms such as shortness of breath, unexplained weight loss, and persistent cough usually don’t appear until the disease is progressed. Screening guidelines for high-risk individuals include those aged 50 to 80 years, current smokers, or those who quit within 15 years, and individuals with a tobacco or smoking history of at least 20 packs per year. Identifying lung cancer early through targeted screening for at-risk individuals is crucial in the fight against this devastating disease.

Dr. Pradeep Kumar Karumanchi, MBBS (Osm), DNB (Radiation Oncology), ECFMG (USA), CCPT (USA), CTO (USA), CPO (SWISS), Consultant Radiation Oncologist, Yashoda Hospital, Hyderabad

“Radiosurgery: Cutting-Edge Advancement in Lung Cancer”

Lung cancer remains one of the leading causes of cancer-related deaths worldwide. In the fight against this formidable disease, radiosurgery has emerged as a promising treatment modality offering new hope to patients. It is a non-invasive technique that delivers highly targeted, high-dose radiation to cancerous lung tumors. This focused approach not only spares healthy surrounding tissues but also enhances treatment effectiveness by delivering a lethal dose directly to the tumor. Furthermore, the convenience and reduced treatment time make radiosurgery an attractive option for patients, particularly those with early-stage lung cancer or who are unsuitable for surgery. Research indicates that radiosurgery achieves excellent local control rates and comparable survival outcomes to surgery. Radiosurgery is steadily establishing itself as a vital component in the multidisciplinary management of lung cancer, offering new possibilities for improved patient outcomes and a brighter future in the fight against this deadly disease.

Chennai (Tamil Nadu) [India], July 31: Cereals have been a source of nourishment, sustenance and a staple food over many generations. From the early days of consuming naturally grown cereals, we have been moving slowly towards using heavily processed food, unwittingly ignoring the health benefits that these cereals offer. Fortunately, in recent times, there has been a reawakening and increasing awareness about the harmful effects of cereals grown using synthetic pesticides, herbicides, and genetically modified organisms. People are again shifting towards naturally grown cereals without harmful chemicals.

Naturally Grown Cereals

Naturally grown cereals contribute to overall well-being in several ways. Minimal exposure to harmful chemicals, higher content of essential nutrients, better fibre content resulting in improved heart and digestive functions, and reduced risk of allergies are some of the important characteristics of naturally grown cereals that contribute to good health and well-being.

Let us look at how these cereals contribute to our health and the positive impact that naturally grown cereals have on our well-being.

Abundant Nutrient Content

Naturally grown cereals such as rice, millet, oats, and wheat have a high content of essential nutrients such as carbohydrates, protein, fibre, and vitamins that help maintain good health and prevent chronic diseases. The B vitamins found in these grains are essential for cognitive function and emotional health. Consuming whole grains with all their parts provides an all-inclusive nutrient profile. Unlike their processed counterparts, these grains retain their natural nutrient content, ensuring that your body receives a wholesome and balanced diet.

High Fiber Content

The high fibre content in food is paramount to maintaining a healthy digestive system. Naturally grown cereals have high fibre content and are helpful in preventing constipation and reducing the risk of developing gastrointestinal disorders. High fibre content also contributes to the control of blood sugar levels. The fibre content in these grains promotes satiety, reduces overall calorie intake, and helps maintain a healthy weight.

Diabetes Management

For individuals with diabetes or those at risk, naturally grown cereals can be an excellent dietary choice. The slow release of carbohydrates in whole grains helps regulate blood sugar levels and prevents sudden spikes and crashes. This gradual energy release also aids in maintaining steady energy levels throughout the day.

Weight Management

In the struggle against obesity and weight gain, naturally grown cereals emerge as powerful allies. Apart from the role played by the fibre content in these grains, the nutrients in whole grains also have a role to play. They contribute to a balanced diet, encouraging healthier eating habits.

Reduced Risk of Chronic Diseases

Incorporating naturally grown cereals regularly in meals helps lower the risk of chronic diseases such as type 2 diabetes. The antioxidants, minerals, and vitamins in whole grains contribute to the body’s defence against harmful free radicals and inflammation.

Naturally Grown Cereals from Re:fresh

With growing awareness among people about the health benefits of naturally grown cereals, several brands have brought out naturally grown cereals in the market.
