Are you at risk of Preeclampsia
Are you an expecting Mom? While the joy of impending motherhood is certainly exciting, there’s important information to be aware of as you embark on this incredible journey. Preeclampsia is a syndrome that manifests during pregnancy, characterized by elevated blood pressure and signs of organ damage, typically affecting the heart, liver, and kidneys. This condition is usually identified after the 20th week of pregnancy and can impact both the expectant mother and the developing foetus.
Preeclampsia can be tricky to detect and one should be extra cautious of the symptoms and should not ignore even a small sign of it. Talking openly with the doctor will certainly help to manage the condition positively to ensure maximum protection for the baby and mother, says Dr. Prathima Reddy, Director & Lead Consultant, Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, SPARSH Hospital, Bangalore.
#Signs and Symptoms:
o Watch out for increased blood pressure (hypertension) often with headaches and visual disturbance.
o There can be swelling of hands and face or sudden weight gain.
o Continuous nausea or vomiting may imply severe preeclampsia.
#Risk Factors:
o These include having a family history of preeclampsia.
o Take heed if you are pregnant with twins or more, as well as if you are suffering from a previously existing illness (high blood pressure, diabetes, kidney disease and the like).
#Complications:
o The two incidences that come along with it are premature birth and low birth weight of the baby
o In severe instances, it may progress to eclampsia, marked by seizures, thereby posing serious risks to the mother’s life.
#Regular Prenatal Check-ups:
o Regular check-ups will help the physician monitor your blood pressure and preeclampsia symptoms during your visits.
o If preeclampsia is detected early chances are higher for both mother and baby to have a better prognosis.
#Lifestyle Modifications:
o To be in good health, it is necessary to have a balanced diet, especially fruits and vegetables and whole-grain products.
o Engage in physical activity under your physician’s supervision. This could involve following a recommended exercise routine tailored by your doctor.
o Stressed out? Try breathing deeply or signing up for prenatal yoga classes.
#Know When to Seek Help:
o Do not wait, call your doctor immediately if you notice any symptoms that could be worrying
o Preeclampsia can only be effectively managed through emergency medical attention.
#The Power of Support:
Have open conversations with your healthcare team, partner, and family regarding your concerns and the experiences you’ve encountered in this matter.
When a woman is aware of preeclampsia, she is empowered to take proactive steps to ensure the safe and healthy birth of her baby. In the exciting journey of motherhood, the path ahead is one of upward progress. Knowledge is key, so stay informed, remain vigilant, implement lifestyle adjustments, and approach pregnancy with confidence.

Supporting the Diagnosis of Bone-related Diseases, FUJIFILM India Installs an Advanced DEXA Machine in Delhi
New Delhi, 15 February 2024: FUJIFILM India, a pioneer in diagnostic imaging solutions, has announced the installation of its powerful Dual-Energy X-ray Absorptiometry (DEXA) machine “FDX Visionary-DR” at the grand inauguration of the Center for Sports Injury in Delhi. The event took place on the 11th of February with the honourable dignitaries from centre alongside the presence of top sporting icons. The Center for Sports Injury is the premier sports health and wellness facility that specializes in Orthopedics, Sports Surgery, Sports Medicine, Sports Imaging, Sports Physiotherapy, Rehabilitation, Fitness and Counseling. The initiative aims to deliver high-quality and fast bone-density scans, commonly known as DEXA scans, to diagnose bone-related health conditions or evaluate the risk of developing such problems. With its innovative machinery, FUJIFILM India endeavors to make excellent diagnostic capabilities accessible to bone densitometry practitioners nationwide.
Bone-related health diseases such as osteoporosis are widespread in India, with estimates indicating that 61 million individuals suffer from this condition. Furthermore, the incidence of osteoporosis tends to occur 10 – 20 years earlier here, in comparison to Western countries. Tackling this, the bone densitometry scan serves as an effective tool to accurately predict the chances of fractures or abnormalities in the upcoming years. FUJIFILM India’s FDX Visionary-DR machine delivers a complete diagnostic experience with a wide range of applications and routine examinations for Orthopedics, Pediatrics, Lateral Spine, Morphometry and Whole Body. It features a breakthrough 3D-DXA technology that uses routine bone-mineral-density images to create 3D models of the femur, bringing in new information about bone structure for accurate diagnosis and adapted treatment procedures. Based on a 4-line, 64-element multi-array detector, the machine’s remarkable 2D Fan Beam is designed to provide the highest image resolution for a precise diagnosis and perform quick 15-second assessments per site, making it one of the most powerful solutions available in the market. Additionally, it offers advanced fat, muscle and lean medical parameters through its BODY COMPOSITION tool which is essential in sports medicine, weight management and medical practice fields.
“In India, the growing prevalence of bone-related health conditions highlights the urgent need for preventive measures in healthcare. As a leader in diagnostic imaging solutions, FUJIFILM India recognizes the critical role of early detection and timely intervention in mitigating the impact of bone-related diseases on patients and society as a whole. Thus, we are proud to introduce this FDX Visionary-DR machine in Delhi as it possesses the potential to revolutionize the bone health-related diagnostic imaging segment. Through breakthrough imaging technologies, strategic partnerships and awareness drives, our mission is to effectively diagnose, treat and manage bone health conditions and pave the way towards a healthier future for India” said, Mr. Chander Shekhar Sibal, Vice President & HOD, Healthcare Business, FUJIFILM India.
Osteoporosis occurs due to excessive bone loss, insufficient bone formation or a combination of both factors. Consequently, bones become weak, making them susceptible to fractures even from minor accidents or from everyday actions like sneezing or bumps in severe cases. Addressing this, dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry or DEXA scans measure bone loss by utilizing a minimal dose of ionizing radiation to generate images of internal body structures such as the hip, spine and forearm. It also helps with the periodic monitoring of body fitness parameters like densitometry and body composition analysis, examining the density of peripheral central body parts as well as visceral and subcutaneous fat analysis.
Dr Pushpinder – an eminent figure with over 30 years of Experience in the field of Sports Medicine, Joint Replacement Surgery & Arthroscopic Surgery (KEYHOLE SURGERY) nationally & internationally while embracing the meaningful installation said, “The alarming estimate of millions suffering from bone-related conditions like osteoporosis highlights a pressing issue which is affecting the quality of life across the nation. Also, the fact that these critical diseases tend to occur earlier in India, necessitates urgent attention to preventive care and supporting action to improve the situation. So, we take great pride in welcoming this sophisticated DEXA machine, courtesy of FUJIFILM India, at our facility to deliver reliable diagnostic services in Delhi and help communities lead a healthier life.”
FUJIFILM India reaffirms its commitment to reshaping India’s healthcare sector with the exceptional FDX Visionary-DR machine, equipping medical professionals with future-ready diagnostic technologies to provide crucial and urgent patient care.

Saveetha College of Physiotherapy, SIMATS, Chennai
Telemedicine has revolutionized the healthcare industry, particularly in treating complex diseases like Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS). Despite the disease’s uncurable nature, effective management techniques can improve quality of life. Tele-delivered training offers a convenient method for people to control their symptoms from the comfort of their homes, enhancing their quality of life.
Convenience and Accessibility
Programs for tele-delivered training are exceptionally practical and readily available, bypassing both location as well as time limitations. There is no longer a requirement for participants to frequently make trips in person to healthcare institutions since they may get professional assistance and assets remotely. This ease of use guarantees that people receive regular assistance and education wherever they are, which is especially helpful for those with busy schedules or little availability of specialized care.
Individualized Method
The capacity of tele-delivered training to offer individualized support catered to each participant’s particular needs is one of its main advantages. Medical professionals can evaluate each patient’s symptoms, lifestyle, and needs via collaborative meetings and online discussions in order to create customized therapy regimens. Since they feel personally involved in handling their PCOS, participants are more engaged and stick to the treatment thanks to this customized approach.
Knowledge and Self-determination
Tele-delivered learning programs focus on independence and self-management, providing individuals with the necessary information and skills to manage PCOS symptoms. These classes cover stress management, medication management, nutrition, and exercise regimens, promoting informed decision-making and self- management, enhancing overall wellness and achieving better achievements.
Community Assistance
Remote instruction fosters camaraderie among individuals facing similar challenges, promoting interaction and support through social media networks, online forums, and virtual assistance circles. This empathy can reduce feelings of isolation and provide emotional support during PCOS management.
Conclusion
Tele-delivered training is a revolutionary approach to PCOS treatment, offering individualized assistance, community involvement, and availability. As technology advances, telemedicine will become increasingly important, enhancing healthcare delivery and improving PCOS patients’ lives.

The Indian Academy of Pediatrics introduces IAP Ki Baat, Community Ke Saath Campaign
Mumbai: The Indian Academy of Pediatrics (IAP) has launched a pioneering program called “IAP Ki Baat, Community Ke Saath” to actively engage with communities and provide essential information on child health. The first topic to be covered is “Anemia Ki Baat, Community Ke Saath,” followed by other important topics like Obesity, Autism, Down Syndrome, and Thalassemia. The goal is to ensure that accurate and relevant information is accessible to everyone, which can have a significant impact on children’s well-being and contribute to overall societal health. Through this initiative, IAP aims to reach millions of individuals with reliable childcare information using various communication channels such as Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, television, radio, newspapers, influencers, and government partnerships.
The National Family Health Survey (NFHS-5, 2019-2020) revealed that more than half of women in the reproductive age group (15-49 years) and nearly 67.1% of children aged 6-59 months are affected by anemia in India. The causes of anemia are nutritional deficiencies (iron, folic acid, vitamin B12), chronic infections like malaria, genetic conditions, and unhealthy dietary habits. Iron deficiency anemia is the most prevalent type and is often associated with insufficient consumption of iron-rich foods, poor iron absorption, and excessive blood loss during menstruation or childbirth. In 2018, the Government came up with the Anemia Mukt Bharat (AMB) strategy, to decrease the incidence of anemia among women, children, and adolescents.
“In India, anemia poses a major public health issue. It is a condition marked by a shortage of red blood cells or insufficient hemoglobin in the bloodstream, leading to decreased oxygen-carrying ability. This can cause tiredness, feebleness, diminished cognitive performance, and a higher risk of infections and illness, leading to frequent absences from school and hindered social development. Addressing anemia in children requires a holistic approach that encompasses not only medical interventions but also nutritional support and education for parents about the importance of early detection and management. By raising awareness about the multifaceted consequences of childhood anemia, comprehensive solutions can address both the immediate symptoms and long-term implications of this condition,” said Dr GV Basavaraja, IAP President 2024.
On The Occasion Of World Anemia Awareness Day, to raise awareness and support the government’s Anaemia Elimination Mission, The Indian Academy of Pediatrics (IAP) launched an innovative program “IAP Ki Baat, Community Ke Saat” to proactively interact with communities and share vital information about child health. Massive screening programs will be rolled out by over 44,000 dedicated pediatricians from various clinics and hospitals spread across the country under the program “Anemia Ki Baat, Community Ke Saath,” to screen every child for anemia, ensuring early detection and intervention at no cost.
“We anticipate reaching over a million people through various media platforms and onsite activities through this program. The program will run for two years and will cover other topics including Screen Time, Obesity, Autism, Down Syndrome, Thalassemia, and many more every month. The increasing prevalence of time-related issues such as obesity, autism, Down syndrome, and thalassemia in children has become a pressing concern. The fast-paced nature of modern life often leads to unhealthy eating habits and sedentary lifestyles, contributing to the rise in childhood obesity. “The complex interplay between genetic and environmental factors is thought to play a significant role in the development of autism spectrum disorders, Down syndrome, and thalassemia,” said Dr Vasant Khalatkar IAP, President 2025.
IAP President Dr GV Basavaraja added, “By fostering open dialogue and promoting early intervention strategies through education and community engagement, it is possible to work towards creating a more inclusive society that supports all children irrespective of their health challenges. Different communication channels such as Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, TV, radio, newspapers, and influencers will be included in the mission and will work closely with the government. Our outreach efforts also include community-based programs which are crucial to our mission. IAP’s district and city branches will conduct school awareness campaigns to educate parents and children,”
The team of experts led by Dr. Rekha Harish, Dr. Deepak Pande, Dr. Nita Radhakrishnan, Dr. Bharat R Agarwal, and Dr. Divij Sachdeva, along with the scientific committee comprising Dr. Piyali Bhattacharya, Dr. Gayatri Bezboruah, Dr. Prashant V Kariya, Dr. Mubashir Hassan Shah, Dr. Cherukuri Nirmala, and Dr. Manmeet Kaur Sodhi, will meticulously ensure that accurate and credible information about anemia reaches the community.
Distinguished guests, including Dr Vinod K Paul- Member, NITI Aayog and Dr Pukhraj Bafna – Padmashree Awardee and Sr Consultant Pediatrician, will virtually unveil the awareness poster and video on Anemia, along with key IAP officials such as Dr. GV Basavaraja – IAP National President 2024, Dr. Vasant Khalatkar – IAP National President 2025, Dr. Yogesh Parikh – Hon. Secretary General IAP 2024-2025, Dr. Atanu Bhadra – National Treasurer IAP 2024-2025, and National Coordinators – Dr. Geeta Patil, Dr. Samir Dalwai, Dr. Kishore Baindur, Dr. Shantaraj, Dr. Amaresh Patil, and other esteemed members of IAP.

This certification affirms that TKM’s initiative is aligned with the government’s focus in delivering excellent healthcare services to the local communities.
The six departments assessed under the NQAS framework include the Outpatient Department (OPD), Laboratory, Labour Room, Inpatient Department (IPD), National Health Program, and General Administration. The PHC in Byramangala, successfully met all criteria, showcasing its dedication to providing comprehensive and high-quality healthcare services.
The journey of this achievement dates to 2018 when TKM, as part of its Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) initiative, undertook the task of building the Byramangala PHC. TKM constructed a modern 439 sq meter facility according to the Indian Public Health Standards (IPHS) guidelines. The newly built PHC was inaugurated on September 19, 2019, with state-of-the-art medical equipment and advanced healthcare facilities serving the surrounding rural population of over 20,000 people.
Mr. Vikram Gulati, Country Head and Executive Vice President for Corporate Affairs and Governance, at Toyota Kirloskar Motor said, “At Toyota, we are deeply committed to making a meaningful contribution to the communities where we are present. Our belief in
healthcare as a fundamental human right fuels our dedication to supporting initiatives that foster improved health outcomes. The certification earned by the Byramangala Primary Health Centre (PHC) serves as a testament to our overarching aim of positively impacting the surrounding communities thereby leading to societal development. We are immensely proud to witness the recognition of the PHC for its outstanding healthcare standards, and it encourages us to persist in our unwavering commitment to usher in transformative changes and support the people residing in rural areas and the society at large.”
Toyota Kirloskar Motor continues its commitment to holistic societal development and looks forward to continuing its positive contributions to the well-being of the local communities. Some of the recent initiatives include a Community Health Centre in Bidadi, Karnataka with an exclusive oxygen-generating plant, that delivers specialized care. Additionally, school-based health and hygiene programs like ABCD, the installation of water purification units, and the Toyota Shaale Arogya Program, have significantly enhanced the health outcomes within the community. In the fiscal year 2022-23 alone, TKM made a positive impact on over 64,000 individuals, contributing to a cumulative outreach of more than 11,16,365 individuals.
