Best bloggers of india; newspatrolling.com : ·         Nanavati Super Speciality Hospital performed advanced hip surgery to make bed ridden YM Shaik walk  again and celebrate New Year 2018

·         The surgery was performed free of cost by Nanavati Super Speciality Hospital

Mumbai, Janurary, 2018

Bed ridden for last eight months and suffering for over a decade now, YM Shaikh, a Mumbai resident, was relived from his painful long journey. An advanced hip surgery was performed at Nanavati Super Speciality Hospital that required importing a complete hip socket ( size 70) with special locking system from US.   A team of highly experienced orthopaedic surgeons led by Dr.Pradeep Bhosale performed the complicated surgery.He can now celebrate and bring in the new year with his family.

Shaikh was living a normal and active life. Unfortunately in 1998 he met an accident and his hip socket was dislocated. He weighed 100 kg then and with dislocation his painful journey began. He initially ignored the pain that led to the pus formation. The initial X Rays also did not show anything. Due to the increase in pain in one leg, he shifted his body weight on another leg leading to increase in pain in the other leg as well.

Shaikh came to Nanavati Super Speciality Hospital after he tried several other hospitals in Mumbai. He had developed TB Arthritis. In most cases of TB Arthritis, hip replacement is not possible. However, Dr. Pradeep Bhosale with his past research and expertise knew that in certain cases with TB Arthirits, hip replacement is possible. In 2007 he was operated at the Mumbai hospital.

The life span of the hip replacement normally goes upto10 years. However, the bone density and bone quality of the patient had deteriorated over the years and hence the hip socket had become loose. The patient consulted another doctor, however, the surgery was unsuccessful and he was bed ridden again. This resulted in Shaikh coming back to Nanavati Hospital again.

For Dr Pradeep Bhosale, who is Director of Arthritis and Joint Replacement Surgery  ( Orthopaedics Department ) at Nanavati Hospital, the case was a big challenge.  He knew the patient and his condition well.  

After admission, Shiakh was diagnosed with old operated left hip dislocation with distortion of previous hip sockety with large bone defect.  “The surgery is designed to relieve arthritic pain and help patients walk and exercise again with better range of motion,” Dr Bhosale said. 

“To give a new lease of life to the patient, we had to  special attention with advanced procedure. We got a complete new hip  with uncemented socket imported from US. This socket was specially made with the large size  (70mm) required for the patient. With the special locking system in the socket to prevent hip dislocation along with reconstruction of Bone defect using TATA Hospital Bone Bank bone.” he added. 

Understanding his economic condition, the Hospital provided him the treatment free under its social responsibility. "My friends and family are glad that I am back in action again. I am very grateful to Nanavati Super Speciality Hospital and Dr. Pradeep Bhosale for providing me free treatment that incured a high-end surgical procedure. It is certainly a new lease on life for me,” said Shaikh after being discharged from the Hospital recently.

His failed revision hip surgery done outside had many challenges to achieve success such as prior multiple surgeries, large bone defect, pre-existing dislocation of long duration with contracted soft tissues, difficulty in removing failed hip socket and prevent dislocation . The doctors at Nanavati Hospital  were able to over come these complications and give the best solution to the patient that not only gave Shaikh the strength to walk again but also a grand reason to celebrate this New Year.

Hindus seek Diwali holiday in Texas’ Coppell School District

Best bloggers of India : NewsPatrolling.com / Glamourtreat.com : Hindus are urging Coppell Independent School District (CISD) in suburban Dallas, with 47.4% students Asian, to proclaim official holiday on Diwali, most popular of Hindu festivals.

 

Distinguished Hindu statesman Rajan Zed, in a statement in Nevada today, said that Diwali holiday in CISD would be a step in the positive direction in view of presence of a substantial number of Hindu students in the District; as it was important to meet the religious and spiritual needs of these pupils.

 

Zed, who is President of Universal Society of Hinduism, stressed that CISD should seriously and speedily work towards declaring Diwali (which falls on November seven in 2018) as a holiday, thus recognizing the intersection of spirituality and education. Zed noted that awareness about other religions thus created by such holidays like Diwali would make CISD students well-nurtured, well-balanced, and enlightened citizens of tomorrow.

 

Diwali fell on October 19 in 2017 and six New York school districts declared holiday for students on October 19, which included: East Meadow School District, East Williston Union Free School District, Half Hollow Hills Central School District, Herricks Union Free School District, Hicksville Union Free School District and Syosset Central School District. Mineola Union Free School District announced that no home work or examinations would be given on Diwali, reports suggest.

 

For 2017 in New Jersey; Glen Rock Public Schools announced closure of schools and offices on Diwali; in West Windsor-Plainsboro Regional School District, schools were closed on October 19; and in Piscataway Township Schools, there was “No School for Students” on Diwali. And recently Millburn Township Public Schools announced Diwali day off for students for the next three years, reports add.

 

In 2017 Unionville-Chadds Ford School District headquartered in Kennett Square in Pennsylvania approved closure of schools on Diwali; while Harvard Public Schools in Massachusetts declared October 19 as “early release day”, reports note.

 

Rajan Zed further said that since it was important for Hindu families to celebrate Diwali day together at home with their children, we did not want our children to be deprived of any privileges at the school because of thus resulting absences on this day. Closing schools on Diwali would ensure that and would also display how respectful and accommodating CISD was to their faith.

 

Zed indicates that Hinduism is rich in festivals and religious festivals are very dear and sacred to Hindus. Diwali, the festival of lights, aims at dispelling the darkness and lighting up the lives and symbolizes the victory of good over evil.

 

Hinduism is oldest and third largest religion of the world with about 1.1 billion adherents and moksh (liberation) is its ultimate goal. There are about three million Hindus in USA.

 

“High-performing and innovative” CISD, whose tagline is “Empowering Educational Excellence”, serves 12635 students in 16 schools in 23 square miles area covering Coppell, Valley Ranch, Grapevine, North Irving, and Dallas (Cypress Waters). Tracy Fisher and Brad Hunt are Board President and Superintendent respectively of CISD, whose Mission includes “develop strong moral character”. There was a school in the Coppell area as early as the 1870s.

Implications of Idea Cellular Fundraising

     NewsPatrolling.com (Best influencers marketing campaign  platform) / Glamourtreat.com : “The fund raising plan of Rs 3,250 cr with an enabling resolution to raise Rs 3,250 cr will definitely aid idea cellular in terms of deal apprising in their balance sheet. The move was also necessitated by the fact that idea needed to ramp up its product offerings and at the same time strengthen its infrastructure requirements. The pre-merger talks and the merger with Vodafone is a continuous process which will go on for the next few quarters. The competition in terms of a new entrant offering a better and a more efficient product necessitated the ramping- up of this investment.This clearly is an indication that the management is very hopeful that only a small group of players will remain. Out of them, the top 3-4 players will need to strengthen the infrastructure network in terms of spectrum offerings as well as product efficiencies to facilitate customers to migrate to the new network for which additional capital flow is a primary necessity. Its evident from the revisions in pricing by Reliance Jio that the telecom industry pricing competition pressure is almost nearing its end. What it also indicates is as data consumption grows exponentially across circles, the existing telecom players will also benefit.

 

The only issue that plagues the balance sheet is excessive debt in terms of spectrum liabilities as well as liabilities for operating purposes which create a huge burden on their cash flows. After what we have seen in the telecom industry over the past few quarters and years, you should see cash flow steadily increased though the operations elements will still remain extremely high and net-debt to EBITA levels will also remain high exponentially. In my opinion, it was an exercise which was mandated both in terms of upgrading the network as well as creating better services in terms of bandwidth and efficiencies to be offered to their customers to compete with the competitors.”

Hindus concerned at alarmingly high rates of prize denials to Patels by Georgia Lottery

Newspatrolling.com : Hindus are concerned at the reportedly alarmingly high rates of prize denials to the Hindu and Indo-American community by Georgia Lottery, and are urging Governor Nathan Deal to launch an investigation.

According to an review/analysis of the denial letters by Georgia’s largest newspaper Atlanta Journal-Constitution published on December 20 under the title—“Ga. lottery denies millions in prizes to winners of scratch-off games”— “People with the common last name Patel make up 23 percent of the denials”.

Patel is a popular surname of people of India descent, majority of whom trace their ancestry to its Gujarat state; where Mahatma Gandhi and India’s current Prime Minister Narendra Modi were also born.

Distinguished Hindu statesman Rajan Zed, in a statement in Nevada today, urged the Georgia Lottery to seriously and thoroughly relook into it policies and strictly adhere to its claimed “Values”, which include: “We are honest, trustworthy, respectful, fair, and ethical in all of our actions.”

Did not it appear quite bizarre, out of line and unfair that 23 percent of people denied prizes reportedly belonged to a common last name? Zed, who is President of Universal Society of Hinduism, asked.

Rajan Zed suggested that it was time for Georgia Lottery to remind themselves of their stated “Values”:  “Customer Centric – We are fanatical about customer service.”, “Integrity – We do the right thing.”, “We are flexible and learn from our mistakes.”, etc.

Headquartered in Atlanta, the Georgia Lottery, with net sales exceeding $67.5 billion, was created in November 1992. Currently it offers more than 100 scratcher games and has 12 draw, or computerized, games; and the lottery tickets are now being sold at approximately 8,600 authorized retailer locations in the state.

WHO prequalifies breakthrough vaccine for typhoid

Best influencers marketing campaigns platform : NewsPatrolling.com : At the end of December 2017, WHO prequalified the first conjugate vaccine for typhoid, Bharat Biotech’s Typbar-TCV^®. Typhoid conjugate vaccines (TCVs) are innovative products that have longer-lasting immunity than older vaccines, require fewer doses, and can be given to young children through routine childhood immunization programs. The fact that the vaccine has been prequalified by WHO means that it meets acceptable standards of quality, safety and efficacy. This makes the vaccine eligible for procurement by UN agencies, such as UNICEF, and Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance.

In October 2017, the Strategic Advisory Group of Experts (SAGE) on immunization, which advises WHO, recommended TCV for routine use in children over 6 months of age in typhoid endemic countries. SAGE also called for the introduction of TCV to be prioritized for countries with the highest burden of typhoid disease or of antibiotic resistance to Salmonella Typhi, the bacterium that causes the disease. Use of the vaccine should also help to curb the frequent use of antibiotics for treatment of presumed typhoid fever, and thereby help to slow the alarming increase in antibiotic resistance in Salmonella Typhi.

Shortly after SAGE’s recommendation, Gavi Board approved US$85 million in funding for TCVs starting in 2019. Prequalification is therefore a crucial next step needed to make TCVs available to low-income countries where they are needed most. And even in non-Gavi-supported countries, prequalification can help expedite licensure.

WHO prequalification helps to ensure that vaccines used in immunization programmes are safe, effective, and appropriate for countries’ needs. WHO’s prequalification procedure consists of a transparent, scientifically sound assessment that includes reviewing the evidence, testing the consistency of each lot of manufactured vaccine, and visiting the manufacturing site.

Typhoid is a serious and sometimes fatal disease spread through contaminated food and water. Symptoms include fever, fatigue, headache, abdominal pain, and diarrhea or constipation. For millions of people living in low- and middle-income countries, typhoid is an ever present reality. Global estimates of the typhoid burden range between 11 and 20 million cases and between about 128 000 and 161 000 typhoid deaths annually. Poor communities and vulnerable groups, such as children, are often the most susceptible.

Urbanization and climate change have the potential to increase the global burden of typhoid. In addition, increasing resistance to antibiotic treatment is making it easier for typhoid to spread through overcrowded populations in cities and inadequate and/or flooded water and sanitation systems.

Hindus offer condolences on Mormon President Monson’s death

NewsPatrolling.com (Media Partnered with Niryas.com)  : Hindus have offered condolences on the death of Thomas Spencer Monson, 16^th president and prophet of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS), also known as Mormon Church, who died on January two in Salt Lake City (Utah, USA).

Hindu statesman Rajan Zed, in a statement in Nevada (USA) today, said that they were saddened by the passing of President Monson, 90, a great humanitarian who collaborated with other religions/denominations worldwide on programs aimed at improving the human condition.

Rajan Zed further said that Monson embraced various humanitarian causes, reached out to the less fortunate, found time to visit the sick, valued transparency, lived a selfless life, and never shied away from acts of kindness and charity.
