Dr. Rockey Katheria on Is it Heartburn or a Heart Attack? | Happiest Health
Is it heartburn or a heart attack?
Heartburn and heart attack are different health problems, often confused due to similar symptoms, particularly chest pain. Heartburn is caused by excessive acid secretion in the stomach, which creates a burning sensation in the upper area of the stomach. A heart attack is a life-threatening emergency caused by a decrease in blood flow. According to Dr Rockey Katheria, Consultant, Interventional Cardiology, Manipal Hospitals, the signs and symptoms of a heart attack can differ significantly from one person to another, including chest pain, back or jaw pain, nausea or vomiting and shortness of breath. Stress, high blood pressure, diabetes, high cholesterol levels, smoking and being overweight are serious risk factors for heart attacks. Spicy foods, a high-fat diet, insufficient water intake, meal irregularity, stress, smoking, and alcohol consumption can cause heartburn. The doctor explains the symptoms of heartburn and a heart attack are similar; patients should evaluate themselves immediately in the case of persistent chest pain. If someone experiences persistent chest pain, they should immediately seek emergency medical help.

Understanding how Heat Waves can Affect Pregnant Women: ‘Climate Change is only Increasing their Vulnerability Dr. Namita Kapoor and Dr. Pallavi Joshi's Industry Quotes Carried in The Indian Express & Other Publications
This year, February was the hottest so far in India since 1901, according to the Indian Meteorological Department. Such a drastic increase in the country’s temperature is detrimental to health, especially for pregnant women. Dr Namita Kapoor Sahgal, senior consultant, obstetrics and gynaecology, Manipal Hospital, Varthur, Bangalore, expressed that climate change increases their vulnerability to spontaneous abortions, premature labour and low birth weight, leading to increased neonatal morbidity and mortality. Extreme temperatures and precipitation can expose expecting mothers to dehydration and vector-borne diseases like malaria and dengue. Pregnant women should wear loose and comfortable clothing, avoid overheating and being outside during the hottest parts of the day, and stay hydrated to avoid heatstroke.

Dr. Garima Aggarwal On Is Peritoneal Dialysis Better Than Conventional Hemodialysis For Chronic Kidney Disease Patients? | The Indian Express
Is peritoneal dialysis better than conventional hemo dialysis?
The population in India is at risk of End-Stage Renal Disease caused by Chronic Kidney Disease. It can lead to end-stage renal disease or kidney failure, which can be dangerous if not treated timely. According to Dr. Garima Aggarwal, nephrologist and transplant specialist at Manipal Hospital, Bangalore, peritoneal dialysis (PD) is the process of blood purification using the own natural abdomen lining. The abdomen is lined by many blood-carrying vessels. When fluid is inserted, the contaminants from the blood pass onto the fluid through these blood vessel walls. PD is considered an effective dialysis modality for patients with ESRD comparable to HD because peritoneal dialysis allows patients to travel freely. Contrarily, patients on hemodialysis spend time and money travelling to dialysis centres.

Dr. Sita Rajan and Dr. Anand Patil on Manipal Hospital Saves the Life of a Pregnant Woman and Delivered a Preterm Baby Who Met With a Severe Road Accident | Medgate Today
Manipal Hospital Varthur successfully assisted a pregnant woman who was severely injured in a tanker accident and also did preterm delivery of the child due to the patient’s health complications. A 25-Years old Anita (name changed) was only 34 weeks pregnant at the time of the incident. She reportedly had two caesareans already and this was her third pregnancy. She was admitted to the hospital on December 3rd, 2022 after the accident, which caused critical injuries. She experienced multiple injuries to her lower limbs, including bone and muscle injuries. All these factors made the surgery for preterm pregnancy highly risky. Nonetheless, a miracle happened as the doctors at Manipal Hospital Varthur were able to save both the mother and deliver the baby.
Commenting on the situation, Dr. Sita Rajan, Senior Consultant – Obstetrics & Gynecology, Manipal Hospital, Varthur, said, ” In most cases, X-ray tests of the pelvic region are often avoided during pregnancy, but it was necessary in Anita’s case to evaluate the injuries. She had injuries in the lower limb which during surgery could have resulted in significant bleeding, a sudden drop in blood pressure, and fat embolism. Hence, the whole process was really challenging. Fortunately, she had no head injury.”
“While preparing for the surgery on the lower limbs, we realized that the baby’s heartbeat was fluctuating between 60 – 70, too less than the normal range of 120 – 140. We quickly decided to proceed with an emergency preterm cesarean prior to the orthopedic surgery. In less than 10 minutes, we delivered the baby with the help of an expert anesthetic team, and handed over the baby to the Pediatrics and NICU team for further evaluation.”, Dr. Sita Rajan added.
In regards to the baby’s health, Dr. Anand Patil, Consultant – Neonatology & NICU, Manipal Hospital, Varthur, said, “The newborn weighed 2082 grams and was very sick at the time of birth. She required advanced neonatal resuscitation. Later, looking at the baby’s clinical signs, a few tests were performed s/o surfactant deficiency. She was put on a neonatal ventilator for 24 hrs, and CPAP – respiratory support for 48 hrs. The infant spent about 1 week in NICU.”
