One in million case at HOSMAT saves child
Dr S R Patil
Dr S R Patil

Bengaluru 5 July 2023– This small 4-year-old boy from West Bengal was born with a malformation in brain & spine (lipomyelomeningocele with chiari malformation). There was visible swelling in the lower spine region at birth, which was painful for the mother to see and the family to accept the child. Mother had not undergone proper antenatal checkups. The child had undergone three surgeries (one after the other) at the age of 2 in a charitable hospital but there was no reprieve for the family as the problem persisted. This child was refused treatment at many centres and the child was in severe agony with headache.

One midnight, HOSMAT Neurosurgeon Dr S R Patil got a call from a known person with a request to manage this case. The patient came in extreme pain at the stroke of midnight. After seeing the scans & reports Dr Patil re-evaluated the child with MRI and saw previous problems recurred and persisted. But he took it as a challenge to set right past mistakes by other doctors. As already three surgeries had been performed on the child & again operating on 4-year-old, was not that easy by any means. Child had a risk of losing power in both legs. (paralysis). The family was counselled in detail and help in financial aspects was sought from HOSMAT management.

After careful consideration & deliberations three operations were to be performed to address the headache & spine issues which were done with many challenges with advanced gadgets and intensive monitoring of the child.

Today at HOSMAT we are glad that the child is normal & doesn’t complain of headache & spine pain also. Child is walking, running and playing.

Moral & learnings:

1) Such issues can be avoided if Prenatal diagnosis is done right
2) postnatal correction of such issues is very challenging but can be done provided family understands complexity
3) managing such a complex case needs good team work and armamentarium support from the Institute.

Five ways to ensure digital platform security and avoid data breaches in 2023

It’s more important than ever to prioritise the security of digital systems, software and applications. Not only do robust online security systems protect personal privacy, but they also prevent financial losses, safeguard intellectual property, and help businesses comply with their legal obligations.

Data breaches can also severely damage an organisation’s reputation. When customer data is compromised, the company’s ability to protect its users’ sensitive information is doubted. This loss of trust can lead to a decline in customer loyalty, a decrease in sales, and ultimately, a significant negative impact on the business’s long-term viability.

The risk is exacerbated in companies that underinvest in cybersecurity, like the arts, entertainment and recreation sector which should spend seven times as much on IT as it currently does.

Fortunately, there are measures that businesses of all sizes, across all industries, can take to reduce these risks and ensure their digital platforms are safe and secure in 2023.

Jose San Miguel, Managing Director at white-label ticketing platform Nuweb Group comments: “Organisations must invest in robust cybersecurity measures, implement best practices, and stay vigilant to counter the evolving threats in the digital landscape.

“With the rapid adoption of cloud, remote work, SaaS apps, and distributed systems, the security landscape has expanded significantly. Every new system, network, and application creates potential vulnerabilities for attackers to exploit.

“From DDos attacks to credential stuffing, these threats highlight the need for companies to implement multi-layered security measures, conduct regular security assessments, and stay informed about the latest cybersecurity trends and best practices.”

Here are five ways businesses can ensure digital platform security and avoid data breaches in 2023:

  1. Implement 2-factor authentication (2FA):

Implementing 2-factor authentication provides your platform with an additional layer of security beyond just a username and password combination. By requiring multiple factors of authentication, for example biometric data, the likelihood of unauthorised access significantly reduces. This means that even if the initial security factor is bypassed, the attacker would still have other authentication factors to deal with.

  1. Regularly update and patch systems:

You should strive to stay up-to-date with the latest security patches and updates relevant to your platform’s operating systems, software, and applications, because many of these updates tend to identify and address vulnerabilities that can be exploited by attackers. The updates and patches can also fix software bugs and improve system stability. By regularly updating, organisations can ensure that their systems are running efficiently and therefore providing a better user experience.

  1. Conduct regular security audits and penetration testing:

You should perform regular security audits and penetration testing to help identify vulnerabilities and weaknesses in your systems, applications, and network infrastructure. This process involves actively testing your system’s security measures to discover potential weaknesses before they’re exploited. Any vulnerabilities that are identified should then be addressed promptly.

  1. Encrypt sensitive data:

By implementing robust encryption mechanisms to protect sensitive data, you can make it harder for perpetrators to access your organisation’s information. Encryption ensures that sensitive data remains confidential and accessible only to authorised parties. It transforms the data into an unreadable format that can only be decrypted with the right decryption key. This helps protect against unauthorised access, whether it’s due to data breaches, insider threats, or physical theft.

  1. Employee education and awareness:

Businesses should train employees on best practices for data security and raise awareness about potential threats such as phishing attacks. Try to encourage strong password practices, help your staff be able to recognise suspicious emails or links, and emphasise the importance of safeguarding sensitive information. Accreditations like CISSP and ISO 9001 in the UK can help with this.

FILA’s latest campaign marks the 50th anniversary of the brand’s debut in the world of sports

~Under the title ‘Numbers are Just Numbers without Love’, the campaign aims to highlight FILA’s sports heritage while communicating the passion that has driven the brand over the past half-century~

FILA 50 Years of Sports (1)

4th July 2023: Leading sportswear brand FILA is all set to commemorate the 50th anniversary of its remarkable journey in the world of sports by launching a new digital campaign featuring real voices and experiences of its ambassadors.

FILA unveiled its iconic F-Box logo in 1973, marking the brand’s debut in the world of sports. Over the last half-century, FILA has been worn by extraordinary athletes at the most iconic moments in sport. Highlighting the brand’s rich history, its impact on sports culture and its commitment to excellence and innovation, the campaign features a powerful line-up of FILA ambassadors both past and present including such as iconic Björn Borg, Suzanne Schulting, Grant Hill, Reinhold Messner, Alessandra Chillemi and Reilly Opelka.

Significantly titled, “Numbers are just Numbers without Love”; FILA not only aims to convey the profound passion that has fueled the brand throughout its 50-year journey in the sporting world, but also how each of its champions have always proved that there are more things at play than just the records they set.

The film starts with a poignant line- “What is being number one without following your own beat”? which sets the tone for an inspirational narrative that goes beyond winning for the sake of victory alone and doing more of what we love.

The digital film recounts a series of such stories to bring the endearing campaign message to life. Like the historic event when Soldini selflessly abandoned his solo round-the-world race to rescue Isabelle Autisser who was shipwrecked in the vastness of the Pacific Ocean, an act of compassion that exemplified how FILA’s champions embody values such as courage, empathy, and solidarity. Or when FILA recognized and highlighted the environmental efforts associated with Reinhold Messner’s mountain ascents – an authentic demonstration towards sustainability and conscious practices. By using their voices, the campaign instills a bold message and closes on a thought-provoking note- “And what are 50 years of performance without love?” alluding to the brand’s journey in the world of sports.

Deepika Deepti, Senior Vice President Marketing, Metro Brands Limited said, “FILA is proud to celebrate the heritage of the brand over the past half century through its digital campaign. The brand is committed to instill the same passion that has fueled its journey while inspiring us to do more of what we love, to go beyond just our achievements, and let our passions move us.”

Apart from this video manifesto, the larger social media campaign composed of meaningful insights from several sporting icons will roll out over the coming months and accompany the brand’s communication throughout its anniversary year.
