Bahrain-born Fatima Ahmed may not be able to manage that with her own two failed lungs, but she can certainly give it a shot with the artificial one that doctors have attached - between her legs. A couple of years ago, doctors gave patients with heart failure external pumps (LVAD/HVAD) to keep them going till a suitable heart for transplant became available. Now, they’ve managed the same for when your lungs give out. Surgeons at Global Hospitals used a device called the Novalung to ‘breathe’ for a 64-year-old Bahraini woman, who underwent a lung transplant two years ago. An artificial, membrane-filled device that requires no external power source, the Novalung takes blood from the femoral artery, removes Carbon dioxide, adds oxygen and returns the blood to the femoral vein. “It’s tough enough to find a suitable lung to transplan...

Significantly, this is the third baby for the woman. Doctors said Bhuvaneshwari (26) of Injambakkam, wife of a labourer in a steel manufacturing company, who has  congenital anomaly called Dextrocardia with Situs Inversus totalis, had a normal delivery at Sri Ramakrishna Vivekananda Health Post around 10 am. The woman’s  condition is found one in 50,000 births where organs like heart, lungs, liver and spleen are located in the reverse position in the body. Hence, unlike other delivery cases, doctors said the woman had chances of developing cardiac complications during labour or post-delivery. “In her ca...

The girl, Rachasiri Mahalakshmi, who underwent surgery in August, was brought to Nellore on Wendesday. Speaking to media persons, Dr. K.R. Balakrishnan, who performed the heart transplantation, said Mahalakshmi had been suffernig from a condition called 'Idiopathic dilated cardiomypathy' for the past 10 years. The problem was noticed when she was two years old. Since then, it was medically managed but in vain as her condition was started deteriorating in the last couple of years. She was eventually refereed to the Fortis hospital where doctors registered her with the Tamil Nadu government for a hart transplant, and luckily got the heart of a 23-year-old boy who was declared brain dead following a r...

Source: http://epaper.newindianexpress.com/c/3524145 The common perception about people with liver trouble is that they're either supremely unhealthy or alcoholic. But when someone like Mandolin Srinivas, who does not fall into either category, falls prey to hepatic diseases like cirrhosis, it can be quite an eye-opener. According to Dr. Mohamed Rela, one of the country's foremost experts on Liver Transplantation and surgeon at Global Health City, alcoholism and obesity aren't the largest causes of cirrhosis in India. "Fatty liver disease causes more cirrhosis than alcohol. The percentage of alcoholics developing cirrhosis is barely 10-15 per cent," he explains. Rela says that there are 15-odd metabolic conditions that can cause cirrhosis, most of which are genetic. "They can affect even children, so it's not surprising to see it present in non-alcoholic adults." Cirrhosis by itself is bad enough. But when it combines with inoperable tumours o...

In one of my previous post, i would have narrated about the odds in the transportation to cross perungalathur from tambaram, which will take atleast 40 minutes to the maximum in the weekends and about 20 to 25 mins in the normal days. The things had changed a quite bit and even a massive change. These days the traffic become normal and there is no traffic blocks wherein each vehicle will move inch by inch. There were enough policing to streamline the vehicle movement. It should be a principle and ethic in criticism that if one issue has been criticised the same amount should be congratulated and celebrated if actions or remedies had been taken. And i am recording this, after going through for the past one month that is atleast 3 weekends. The old scare was not there, atleast not as worst as before.

30.4.2014 In tambaram bus stand, outside the railway station, i boarded my bus which is last service to thirukkalukundram by 11:30 pm. The bus is already running late, which is expected to come by 10:30 pm. It was understood that due to traffic between guiindy and cmbt, this will happen. But what happened next? i reached perungalathur at 12.20 am. 40 mins to reach less than 4 kms. Then i was at home by 1:10 am in thirukkalukundram to watch the champions league semifinal between chelsea and athletico madrid. What was the stress felt by the driver, and ofcourse the passengers? In this blog i already recorded few happenings like this, an alternative way to change some bus stops either govenment buses or omni buses to guduvanchery bus stand, which was scarcely used after 9 pm. It is better that after 9 pm the state government can give order to the transport corporation to stop all its mofussil bus services to enable omni buses to ride smoothly. Either you live or i live, it is n...

11.03.2014. night 11.00 pm...the bus came as it is the most reliable than 108 services. Waited in old bus stand, chengalpattu. Boarded the bus and bought the ticket by giving rs. 11. rs. 10 and 1 one rupee coin, to facilitate conductor to give change rs.2. he gave the change of my rs.1 to my next co-passenger who gave rs.10. when i saw the conductor for the change....he just checked all the coins and replied that he had all one rupee coins and no two rupee coins and asked me to wait. In the next stop, the crowd filled the bus and my change rs.2 was gone. By observing, to my knowledge, he said the word, that he will give change to atleast 4 persons belonging to my row and two of my front rows. It is the peak of frustration. How much it will take time to shout at him, or to man handle him? You are returning home after work and he is also closing his duty. Where all the coins in his bag is going to go? Or my thinking was wrong to help the conductor to give 2 rs change instead of ...

Just thought of the link between money spending/saving and the human personality. Introverts never spend money such easily, rather extroverts will spend money without any hesitations. May be this psychology will be known for all. People who are giving money to the others when they are in need, are more open with their plans, lifestyle, attitude and often earning "not good" name among his working class. People who are accumulating money without thinking others need, are not more open with their lifestyle, uncontrollable and being controlled by situations. They will save money with only aim of future not considering present, because if they consider present, they definitely wont save money at the expense of others. People who are less thinking about spending money tends to spend when with people who are very close to them and more often when their desire to spend push the situation to spend at that moment. It is not exactly that they dont have spending culture, but are...

Being an avid fan of Balu mahendra, i would like to share what i read and viewed recently in the magazine and in tv. In one magazine interview, he told that cinema is like sex for him. Like he has to do the job fully with involvement, on being questioned why he has handling photography, direction, editing combinedly. His answer is simple as above that he want to do the above sections which are clearly interlinked each other to give the product of his own and not with other contribution. In recent interview with sasikumar in puthiya thalaimurau tv show, though he has lost track for answering the questions appropriately, considering his age, some of the points he shared is: 1. illayaraja and he has mutual admiration and inspiration for each other and hence the music was good in all his films. Even one director, who he says one of his best friend, after seeing one of his films phoned him and questioned how illayaraja gives is best for his films and cried about his good work. At the ...
