CION Launches Siddipet’s First Super Specialty Cancer Care Centre

Siddipet, 1st August 2025: CION Cancer Clinics, India’s fastest-growing distributed cancer care network, has launched Siddipet’s first Super Specialty Cancer Centre, delivering advanced cancer treatment protocols locally to patients who would otherwise travel long distances to Hyderabad.

Backed by a team of 15+ oncologists across medical, surgical, and radiation oncology, CION’s Siddipet center offers a full spectrum of oncology services including chemotherapy, immunotherapy, surgery, radiation therapy, bone marrow transplant, molecular diagnostics, oncopharmacy, genetic testing, screening, psycho-oncology, and nutrition counseling, along with access to tumor board-driven treatment plans — a model typically seen only in top-tier metro hospitals.

Why This Launch Matters

• Filling the Care Gap: Nearly 80% of cancer patients from Siddipet and surrounding districts currently travel to Hyderabad for treatment, often incurring unaffordable costs in travel, accommodation, and missed workdays.
• Metro-Level Treatment, Local Access: With the Siddipet launch, CION brings a fully-integrated oncology care ecosystem to patients’ doorstep — eliminating the need for long-distance referrals and enabling earlier intervention and better survival rates.
• Expert-Led, Protocol-Driven Care: Each case at Siddipet is reviewed by CION’s centralized Tumor Board of 15+ senior oncologists, ensuring every patient receives an evidence-based treatment plan aligned with global standards.

Ms. Sonali Srungaram, Founder & Managing Director of CION Cancer Clinics, said:

“We believe that no patient should be denied world-class cancer care just because they live in a smaller town. With the Siddipet launch, we bring the full strength of our network to this region – from protocol-driven treatment to multi-disciplinary expertise.”

CAPI 2025 Breaks Ground as the First-Ever Global Conference on Complications and Safety in Interventional Pulmonology

Bengaluru, July 29, 2025 — In a landmark initiative that could redefine how medical complications are discussed, CAPI 2025 — the Complications and Safety in Interventional Pulmonology conference — concluded this weekend at Radisson Atria, Bengaluru, drawing doctors and medical experts from around the world for a conversation on the realities of procedural medicine.

Hosted by Dr. Ravindra Mehta, founder of Vaayu Chest and Sleep Specialty Center, in collaboration with the Asia Pacific Interventional Pulmonary Alliance (APIPA), CAPI 2025 was a first-of-its-kind forum focused exclusively on the twin pillars of complications and safety in the field of interventional pulmonology. For the first time, complications were not treated as afterthoughts, but as essential learning tools for present and future medical practice.

“What we shy away from and need to learn from is the ‘Complication universe’— real-world challenges, critical errors, near misses, and the all-important art of prevention, rescue, and learning from mishaps. Safety and meticulous planning ensures a good night’s sleep for both the patient and the operator,” said Dr. Ravindra Mehta, the conference chair and founder of Vaayu Chest and Sleep Specialty Cente

CAPI 2025 was endorsed by leading organizations including: APIPA, World association of Bronchology and Interventional Pulmonology, European Association of Bronchology and Interventional Pulmonology, Indian Association of Bronchology, Karnataka Pulmonary Association.

The conference received enthusiastic support from Rohini and Nandan Nilekani, whose belief in progressive healthcare education helped bring this bold idea to life. In their joint address, they emphasized the need for transparency and courage in medical learning. “By sharing our hardest lessons, we build a safer future for patients everywhere,” they said in unison, calling for a culture of safety in every procedural setting.

Key Highlights from CAPI 2025

Opening Montage: Setting the Tone

A powerful 3-minute video montage launched the event, featuring soundbites from 20 global experts, including a keynote from the Nilekanis, underscoring the importance of learning from complications.

Day 1: Candid Conversations, Real-World Insights

“I’ve attended dozens of conferences, but never have I walked through an exhibit that so methodically conveys the stakes of our work,” said Prof. David Fielding, Australia.

Hands-On Workshop: From Recognition to Prevention

Delegates also participated in a rigorously scripted workshop across 16 stations. Designed over 2 months of collaborative planning, each station walked participants through a “recognize–manage–prevent” cycle, with learning objectives well defined. Using high fidelity simulators and live tissue models, attendees rotated every 30 minutes, receiving real time feedback/preception from expert faculty.

In a strong concluding note, organizers announced that all sessions, recordings, and a virtual walk-through of the Complications Museum will be digitally shared with delegates — creating a comprehensive turnkey curriculum for global pulmonary centers.

“We’re not just reporting on complications; we’re pioneering a shared lexicon and toolkit for safety, and starting a global movement of creating a safe space for complication discussion” said Dr. Ravi Mehta, Conference Chair.

CAPI 2025 has not only opened up a bold new chapter in medical education, but also pioneered a global movement for transparent, actionable, and collaborative learning around complications in medicine.

Jayesh Ranjan: Dry Eye is a growing public health concern, it must be tackled early

Centre of Excellence for Dry Eye Inaugurated at Pristine Eye Hospitals

Jayesh Ranjan: “Dry Eye is a growing public health concern; it must be tackled early”

Hyderabad, July 31, 2025: Pristine Eye Hospitals inaugurated Hyderabad’s first Centre of Excellence (CoE) for Dry Eye on Wednesday evening—marking a pioneering step in combating the rising incidence of Digital Eye Strain and Dry Eye Disease (DED).

The CoE was formally inaugurated by Dr. Chinnababu Sunkavalli, Oncology Surgeon and Founder of Grace Cancer Foundation, along with Mr. Naved Alam Khan, CEO, Society for Cyberabad Security Council (SCSC).

Joining virtually, Mr. Jayesh Ranjan, Special Chief Secretary, Government of Telangana, lauded the initiative and said, “Telangana is committed to improving air quality and reducing pollution in Hyderabad. In a recent high-level review chaired by Chief Minister Sri Revanth Reddy, we resolved to treat areas within the Outer Ring Road as Urban Telangana. This vision of a pollution-free city directly aligns with Pristine Eye Hospitals’ efforts. Dry Eye is an emerging public health issue, and I appreciate Dr. C. Jagadesh Reddy for launching timely initiatives like ‘Blink Break’ and ‘No More Screen Time’. Let us act now before the issue becomes unmanageable.”

Dr. Chinnababu Sunkavalli expressed his intent to collaborate with the Pristine Vision Foundation to promote eye health at the grassroots.

Mr. Naved Khan appreciated the hospital for conducting free eye screenings for over 700 home guards within the Cyberabad Police Commissionerate, as part of their commitment to community well-being.

The hospital also unveiled its non-profit arm—Pristine Vision Foundation, along with two major public awareness campaigns:

• Blink Break – Encouraging screen users to take conscious blinking breaks
• No More Screen Time – A city-wide campaign promoting digital eye health and early detection

Both campaigns are part of the hospital’s observance of Dry Eye Month, held every July to spread awareness about this often-overlooked condition.

Dr. C. Jagadesh Reddy, Cornea, Cataract & Refractive Surgeon and Founder of Pristine Eye Hospitals, emphasised that Dry Eye is no longer age-related—it is a digital-age lifestyle epidemic.

“We are witnessing an alarming rise in Dry Eye among tech professionals and teenagers. Recent studies reveal that 70% of IT professionals and 40% of urban teenagers report Dry Eye symptoms. One in three tech workers suffers from moderate to severe DED. Teenagers using screens for over four hours a day are twice as likely to develop Dry Eye,” Dr. Reddy said.

He termed the condition a “Blink Crisis” putting screenagers and techies at serious risk.

“From work to entertainment and education to social interaction, we are glued to screens—blinking less and straining more. This silent suffering needs urgent attention,” he added.

Do Not Ignore Chest Discomfort: Know About the Early Signs of Heart Attack

By – Dr. Dinesh Raj,DM Cardiology, MD Medicine,Sr. Consultant Cardiologist,HCG Hospitals, Rajkot

Chest discomfort is among the most commonly reported symptoms in emergency departments worldwide, yet it remains one of the most misunderstood problem. For many, the sensation is attributed to acidity, gas, anxiety, or fatigue—common occurrences in a fast-paced, sleep-deprived, and often sedentary lifestyle. However, what may seem minor or routine could, in fact, be an early sign of something far more serious: a heart attack.

A heart attack, or myocardial infarction, occurs when blood flow to a part of the heart is suddenly blocked, usually by a clot in one of the coronary arteries. This prevents oxygen from reaching the heart muscle, which can cause permanent damage or death if not treated promptly. Early detection and immediate intervention can dramatically improve outcomes—yet this is often hindered by the vague or atypical ways symptoms present themselves, especially in younger populations.

Not every heart attack begins with crushing chest pain. In fact, many people, particularly women and those under 50, may experience subtler symptoms. These can include discomfort or tightness in the chest, pain that radiates to the arm, neck, jaw, or back, shortness of breath, unexplained fatigue, cold sweats, or a feeling of light-headedness. Some individuals may only feel a mild heaviness or pressure in the chest, which comes and goes. Because the pain is not always severe or continuous, it is frequently dismissed.

In the Indian context, the challenge is compounded by rising cases of cardiovascular disease among younger adults. Lifestyle risk factors—poor dietary habits, lack of exercise, high stress levels, inadequate sleep, and tobacco use—are significant contributors. In urban India, a growing number of individuals in their 30s and 40s are being diagnosed with premature coronary artery disease. Many of them are unaware of their underlying risk, including conditions such as hypertension, diabetes, or high cholesterol.

Another critical factor is delayed response. Despite experiencing symptoms, people often choose to wait, hoping the discomfort will subside on its own. They may self-medicate with antacids or painkillers, misreading cardiac discomfort as acidity or muscle strain. Unfortunately, this delay can be fatal. The initial hours after the onset of a heart attack—the so-called “golden hours”—are vital. The sooner a blocked artery is reopened, the better the chance of preserving heart muscle and avoiding complications such as heart failure or arrhythmias.

It is worth noting that not all chest pain originates from the heart. Gastrointestinal, muscular, or respiratory causes can also produce similar sensations. However, given the potential consequences, it is always safer to rule out a cardiac cause first. Simple diagnostic tools like an electrocardiogram (ECG), blood tests for cardiac enzymes, and non-invasive imaging can provide clarity within minutes. The cost of ignoring symptoms far outweighs the time or effort involved in getting evaluated.

Equally important is prevention. While some risk factors—such as genetics or age—cannot be changed, others can be actively managed. Regular health check-ups, maintaining optimal blood pressure and blood sugar levels, cholesterol control, balanced nutrition, quitting tobacco, regular physical activity, and effective stress management are all key. Even small, consistent changes in daily routines can help reduce the likelihood of future cardiac events.

Awareness also plays a vital role. Understanding that heart disease can present differently in different people is crucial. Family members, caregivers, and peers should also be able to recognize the signs and encourage timely medical intervention. Early symptoms are not always visible significantly. A feeling of unease, a vague pressure, or an unusual fatigue should not be underestimated, particularly if there are other coexisting risk factors.

Chest discomfort should never be regarded casually. While not every episode indicates a heart attack, the cost of inaction can be irreversible. In a condition where time is muscle, prompt medical evaluation is the most powerful tool for survival and recovery.

If there is even a slight suspicion that symptoms may be cardiac in origin, seeking medical attention without delay can make all the difference. In cardiac emergencies, time is not just precious—it is life-saving. Let that be reason enough to never ignore what the body is trying to say.

Pergoveris Outperforms Gonal F in IVF for Older Women with Low AMH, Says Corion Fertility Study

Mumbai, July 26, 2025 — A recent randomized comparative study conducted at Corion Fertility Clinic, Mumbai, has found that Pergoveris (rFSH + rLH in a 2:1 ratio) may offer superior clinical pregnancy outcomes and embryo development in women above the age of 38 with diminished ovarian reserve (AMH <1.2 ng/mL), compared to Gonal F (rFSH).

The study, conducted over two years with 297 self IVF/ICSI patients, revealed that Pergoveris showed higher day 5 blastocyst rates, fewer germinal vesicle oocytes, and a reduction in biochemical pregnancies. Notably, women above 38 years of age in the Pergoveris group had a 63% pregnancy rate, compared to 37% in the Gonal F group.

Patients were divided into two cohorts—Group A (Gonal F, n=144) and Group B (Pergoveris, n=153)—with comparable profiles based on age and AMH. The results underline the importance of age-specific and individualized ovarian stimulation protocols, especially in women classified under Poseidon Group 4, who typically show poor prognosis in ART cycles.

Quote by Dr. Kaushal Kadam, MBBS, MD, DGO and Director, Corion Fertility Clinic Pvt Ltd, “As clinicians, we constantly seek ways to optimize outcomes for women with low ovarian reserve. Our findings suggest that LH supplementation through Pergoveris meaningfully improves embryo quality and pregnancy rates, particularly in women above 38 years. This study reinforces the value of personalized protocols in assisted reproduction and highlights the critical role of age and AMH in treatment planning.”

Despite some limitations—including its single-center design and relatively small sample size—the study offers promising insights that warrant larger, multi-centric trials to validate the broader clinical utility of LH supplementation in IVF.

After Facing 3 Years of Menstrual Issues And PCOS, A Woman Aged 17 Found Relief Through Cell-Based Therapy

Navi Mumbai: A 17-year-old young girl who had been silently battling painful menstrual problems, PCOS, and facial acne for 3 years finally found relief and renewed hope at StemRx Hospital, Navi Mumbai. Under the care of Dr Pradeep Mahajan, Regenerative Medicine Researcher and Founder of StemRx Hospital & Research Centre, the patient underwent a customized regenerative therapy that addressed not only the symptoms but also the root causes of her health challenges. Today, her life has taken a positive turn, with improved physical health and emotional well-being.

For years, Ms Sadhvi, a young girl, resident of Navi Mumbai, endured distressing monthly cycles, PCOS,and facial acne, where physical pain was accompanied by deep emotional strain. She also struggled with facial acne, and no weight loss made daily life more difficult. She visited multiple hospitals and doctors, but most treatments offered only short-term relief. Different medications and diagnoses left her confused and frustrated, and the painful and continuous monthly cycles drained her energy and confidence. Hence, she was unable to do her daily activities with ease and struggled each day. When hope was fading, she turned to StemRx Hospital in search of a different path to healing.

Dr Pradeep Mahajan, Regenerative Medicine Researcher & Founder of StemRx Hospital, said, “Women’s health issues, especially those related to menstruation and PCOS, are often misunderstood or not treated at their core. Our regenerative approach goes beyond symptom management. A multi-specialty evaluation looked into her hormonal imbalance, nutritional levels, cardiovascular health, and emotional stress. Instead of a quick fix, the team focused on identifying the root causes behind her persistent symptoms. We work at the cellular level to repair and restore. In her case, stem cell therapy helped control inflammation, improved hormonal balance, and supported healing in the reproductive system. The idea is to give the body the tools it needs to recover from within. When paired with emotional support and proper nutrition, the outcome can be life-changing.”

Dr Pradeep Mahajan further added, “What made her case special was how determined she was to understand her health and take part in the recovery process. After a detailed assessment, a cell-based therapy was advised, with full transparency and discussion with her. The regenerative treatment included stem cells and MDI treatment to heal damaged tissues and support her body’s recovery and regain energy. Our mission is to blend regenerative medicine with compassionate care to restore health, hope, and quality of life, especially for women facing gynecological and chronic health challenges. Today, she feels a renewed sense of peace and confidence. Her menstrual cycles are back to normal, her energy levels have improved, and she has lost weight drastically. Most importantly, she feels emotionally strong and supported.”

“There were days I couldn’t get out of bed without pain due to menses. Every month, I braced myself for the discomfort that never seemed to end. I was constantly tired, mentally drained, and the mood swings only made things worse. It felt like I was silently suffering, and no one understood what I was going through. Coming to StemRx changed that. For the first time, I felt truly heard, cared for, and supported. I thank Dr Mahajan and his team for giving me a second lease of life,” concluded the patient, Ms Sadhvi.

Best Yoga Asanas to Improve Posture and Reduce Back Pain

Best Yoga Asanas to Improve Posture and Reduce Back Pain

The modern world presents a unique challenge as the use of technology continues to rise, and more people take on sedentary office jobs. Poor posture and back pain have become common side effects of modern living. The musculoskeletal system, which used to efficiently endure motion and walking, is now being overtaken by distractions from the cyber world. Fortunately, potent tools offered by yoga, the ancient healing and realignment practice, can fix this issue restore one’s natural posture and strength.

Let’s explore easy to integrate yoga for posture correction and back pain relief that can help when practiced routinely.

1. Tadasana (Mountain Pose)
The foundation of all standing postures
A lot of people regard Tadasana as a simple exercise, but it’s much more than that. Like most yoga poses, Tadasana requires self-correction and it’s the set template for standing posture. Stand to attention, feet together, shoulders relaxed, straight back, and two arms. Activating the thighs while opening the chest helps a person feel as if they are correcting posture by themselves. To Tadasana, we owe gratitude for teaching us to maintain proper posture and balance.

2. Bhujangasana (Cobra Pose)
Increases the chest while strenghtening the lower back
An easy backbend can buffer the ill effects of slumping for hours. Lie face down on the ground place your palms beneath your shoulders and gradually lift your chest keeping your elbows bent. Pyour back and chest muscles are engaging, which untention in your upper back.
Tip: Breathe, don’t go too far and remember it’s from strength not speed.

3. Combining Marjaryasana and Bitilasana (Cat and Cow Pose)
Gains movement in every part of the spine
On your hands and knees start with arching your back(elevate cow) and switch to rounding(elevate cat) your back. This harmonious shift nourishes the discs between the vertebrae, creating somatic awareness in the alignment of the spine. Cat-cow is perfect for people with desk jobs.

4. Adho Mukha Svanasana (Downward Facing Dog)
Interlocks and counteracts tension to the spine
This pose is the most famous and standard of yoga. It stretches out the spine, strengthens the muscles surrounding it, as well as stretching hamstrings all of which are crucial for compensating the damage caused by poor posture. This pose provides a mini vertebral de-stressing massage perfect for tense backs.

5. Setu Bandhasana (Bridge Pose)
Gains Strength in the lower back and glutes
To assume the Bridge position, lie down on your back and lift your hips while keeping your knees bent. This position activates the posterior chain (glutes, hamstrings, and lower back) while gently stretching the front of the body. An active posterior chain is critical to maintaining proper posture.

6. Balasana (Child’s Pose)
Soothes and revitalizes the spine
Child’s pose is not merely a position of rest; it is restorative. Kneel on a mat and lay your torso down, stretch your arms out in front of you, or rest them beside you. This position eases the lower back and allows for the spine to relax and decompress gently.

Create a firm Routine

While these postures relieve discomfort, regular practice is the key to unlocking their full potential. Even 15 to 2other time slots could change one’s life significantly. You make your body come back into balance and reprogram it to feel strong and pain-free with every breath and pose.

Akshar Yoga Kendraa is celebrating International Yoga Day under the guidance of Himalayan Siddhaa Akshar in a historic way with an attempt to set 12 new Guinness World Records in Yogasanas, adding to its legacy of 9 existing records. The grand event will take place at Palace Grounds, Bengaluru, with participants from across India and around the world coming together to mark this extraordinary celebration of yoga.

Who Am I… The Ultimate Question on the Path to Enlightenment

By – AiR Atman in ravi – Happiness Ambassador and Spiritual Leader

Enlightenment is realizing the truth about who we are. It is eliminating the darkness of ignorance that we live in. It is about going within on a journey of self-discovery. It begins with the single most important question that we can ever ask and find an answer to — Who am I? The answer to this question holds the key to a life of peace, love and bliss. Realizing ‘Who I Am’ or self-realization leads to God-realization, and ultimately to Moksha – liberation from the cycle of death and rebirth, the ultimate goal of human life.

So, who are we? From the moment we are born, society assigns us labels. ‘You are John,’ they say, but that is merely a name. ‘You are British,’ they add — that’s nationality. ‘You’re a doctor,’ they proclaim but that’s a profession. We accumulate identities, accolades, possessions and roles. But none of these truly define who we are. These are what we have or do, not what we are. And so, the question remains, elusive yet essential: Who am I?

Ironically enough, human beings have reached astounding heights in science and technology — from exploring the ocean’s depths to launching probes into space. Yet, in all this external discovery, we have forgotten the most important discovery of all: the self. A journey that is not outward but inward. It is only when man discovers himself, experiences a spiritual awakening that leads him to self-realization and God-realization, that he will be able to live with true joy.

We think that we are ‘me’. But who is this ‘me’? The best way to find out who or what we are, is to discover what we are not. Are we this body? But just like we have a car and a house, but are neither of these, we also have a body but are not the body. The body came later. It was formed over 9 months in a mother’s womb. We were born before that, as a single cell that ultimately divided to become 25-billion cells and arrived in this world as baby. When we die, people will burn or bury our body and say that he or she has departed. Who departed?

If not the body, then we must be the mind. But when we try to find the mind, we cannot find it. The mind doesn’t even exist! If we are not the body and the mind, then we could be the ego. But the ego is invisible and intangible. It is an illusion. Then, how can we be the ego? Clearly, we are the ones who have an ego, mind and body but we are different from these. We say, ‘my body, my mind, my ego’ — doesn’t that imply a separate me that owns all of these? There remains only one unanswered question after we know what we are not – ‘Who am I?’

Not the body. Not the mind. Not the ego. We are the Soul – a Spark Of Unique Life, a part of the Supreme Immortal Power we call God. We are all manifestations of the Divine. Scientifically, when the smallest particles in the cells of the human body are examined under sophisticated instruments, they are proved to be nothing but energy. And that is our truth too. We are Energy. The Life Energy that causes our breath and without which, there would be death. In fact, everything is Energy — the animate and the inanimate.

But knowing this is not enough. Enlightenment is not the gathering of information — it is the dawning of realization. It is evolving from living in darkness to living in light, from ignorance to wisdom. And to walk this path, we need not only contemplation, introspection but also the guidance of a realized spiritual master, one who has crossed the ocean of illusion and can show others the way.

The moment we realize who we truly are, we become free from the triple suffering — the pain of the body, misery of the mind and agony of the ego. In this realization lies peace. In this realization lies liberation. This is Enlightenment, spiritual awakening. In the moment of death, we attain Moksha, Liberation from the cycle of death and birth as we become one with the Divine.

52-Year-Old Recovers from Severe Heart Attack at Wockhardt Hospitals, Mumbai Central

Mumbai, 21st July 2025: In a miraculous turnaround that underscores the power of timely intervention and expert cardiac care, a 52-year-old Mumbai resident survived a massive heart attack despite being given just a 1% chance of survival . His life was saved through the efforts of Dr. Parin Sangoi, Interventional Cardiologist at Wockhardt Hospitals, Mumbai Central, and his dedicated cardiac team .

The patient was brought to the hospital in extremely critical condition he had suffered a major heart attack, had dangerously low blood pressure, and was placed on ventilator support. A detailed evaluation revealed two major blockages on the left side of his heart one was completely blocked (100%) , and the other was 90% blocked . His heart’s pumping efficiency (ejection fraction) had dropped to a critical 10-15% , and his weight, exceeding 100 kg, added further complexity to the case.

The medical team promptly initiated a complex angioplasty ( Primary PCI ) and inserted an IABP (Intra-Aortic Balloon Pump) to support the failing heart. “It was a high-risk case with all odds stacked against him,” said Dr. Parin Sangoi. “But with advanced intervention and constant monitoring in our ICU, we focused on giving him the fighting chance he deserved .”

What followed was a gradual, steady recovery. The IABP was successfully removed , blood pressure support medications were tapered off, and eventually, the patient’s heart function began to improve . After days of meticulous care in the ICU, he was finally discharged walking on his own a moment of triumph for both the medical team and his family.

This case is a powerful reminder of the critical importance of rapid, expert cardiac care in heart attack patients even in the most severe scenarios. Wockhardt Hospitals continues to stand at the forefront of interventional cardiology, offering hope and healing when it matters most.
