Akshayakalpa Organic, a pioneering organic dairy and food brand, launches its second episode of the ‘Good Food Talks’. Through this series, the brand intends to increase awareness among consumers about the source and quality of food and its future, as well as the fast-growing health and fitness awareness in modern society.

In this episode, Mr. Madhu Chandan, Founder of Organic Mandya, shares his insights and talks about the shift in farming practices over the years. He talks about the stark difference between the diverse, self-sustaining agriculture of the past with the commercial monoculture of today. He sheds light on how traditional farming, where crops were grown for personal consumption and local sale, has evolved into a system focused solely on large-scale production for profit. This shift has had severe implications for Indian farmers, with around 90-92% being marginal farmers with landholdings of less than three acres and earning meager incomes.

Talking about organic food, Madhu Chandan, Founder Organic Mandya said, “Growing up, I saw how the rice my grandparents ate was far healthier than what we have today. This decline in food quality is due to poor soil health and modern farming practices. Embracing organic farming can restore soil health and bring back the nutritious food our ancestors enjoyed.”

Shashi Kumar, Co-Founder and CEO of Akshayakalpa Organic, stated, “This episode talks about the deep relationship between the health of our farmers and the food we consume. Organic farming isn’t just about using no chemicals; it is a way of nourishing the soil, farmers, and the people. Through this podcast we want to empower consumers to question the source of their food through such conversations, further raising awareness around what they consume.”

The discussion focuses on the adverse effects of modern farming on soil health and the contamination of food with microplastics. Additionally, the episode also advocates for organic farming as a solution that not only improves nutrition and sustainability but also addresses the issues of food quality and labeling.

The second episode of “Good Food Talks” featuring Madhu Chandan is now live

Hind High Vacuum Advanced Technologies (HHVAT), a subsidiary of the Bengaluru-based HHV group and a leading provider of equipment’s in vacuum science, thin film technology, and optics applications for high-tech electronics and machinery, has successfully completed the installation of 2.5m Telescopic Mirror Coater (TMC) in Gurushikhar Peak of Mount Abu, Rajasthan, India at an altitude of about 5,600 feet above mean sea level. This is for Physical Research Laboratory (PRL), a unit of Department of Space, Government of India, to coat high reflective Aluminum onto mirrors of the telescopes.

The PRL was founded in 1947 by Vikram Sarabhai, and carries out fundamental research in physics, space and atmospheric sciences, astronomy, astrophysics and solar physics and planetary and geo-sciences. The mirrors of the telescopes are amongst the most important components for sensing radiation from distant sources. These need to be coated with a reflective Aluminum that aids efficient light collection by a vacuum deposition process to obtain the best properties as in reflectivity and durability.

The TMC installed by HHVAT is equipped with a unique downward physical vapor deposition process, which demands a diligent hardware design to ensure a smooth and debris-free Aluminum coating onto both hyperbolic concave primary mirror (M1) and a hyperbolic convex secondary mirror (M2). The key highlights and features of the 2.5m Telescopic Mirror Coater are:

• Highest safety controls and interlocks to ensure safety of operator and equipment.
• Modular design for easy transportation.
• Earthquake resistant to ensure mirror safety.
• Equipment designed considering the high humidity at site.
• In-situ cameras for remote monitoring of the process.
• Vibration-resistant trolley for mirror loading and unloading.
• Shields to prevent debris during downward evaporation.
• Whiffle tree with 9-point support system capable of rotation at various speeds.
• Compatible to coat M1 and M2 mirrors without changeover.
• Inline mirror cleaning system with CO2 foam.
• In-situ mirror cleaning with plasma.

“Astronomical telescopic mirrors coaters require a technologically advanced high vacuum equipment design, engineering, and manufacturing, HHVAT has been globally recognized as a trusted supplier of vacuum coaters for telescopic mirrors and has demonstrated at various locations including demanding high altitudes going up to about 14,800 feet” said Prasanth Sakhamuri, Managing Director, HHVAT.

Telescope mirrors of size of up to 3,700 mm diameter and weighing more than 4,000 kg can be accommodated in HHV coating chambers with a maximum overall dimension of 4,000×2,100 mm. The coaters offer an automated and highly reliable process for coating mirrors with Aluminum and/or Silver-based coatings.

HHVAT is the supplier of the TMC equipments for several organizations in India and across the world such as the Indian Institute of Astrophysics, Inter-University Centre for Astronomy and Astrophysics, Aryabhatta Research Institute of Observational Sciences, and Observatory of the Sternberg Astronomical Institute, Moscow State University, Russian Federation.

Dr. Mani Deepthi, Apollo Hospitals, Seshadripuram, Bangalore for World Diabetes Day

“The first 10 years of diabetes is considered as the golden period. If the glycemic control is good in the first 10 years, the beneficial effects will be maintained in later course of diabetes.

This is called “Metabolic Memory”. On World Diabetes Day I would like to reiterate the point that India is often referred to as the diabetes capital of the world, as it accounts for 17% of the total number of Diabetes Mellitus patients in the world. In India, on an average 77 million people above the age of 18 years are suffering from Diabetes Mellitus.

Diabetes displays an iceberg phenomenon that is more than 50% of people are unaware of their diabetic status which leads to health complications if not detected and treated early.” 

In recognition of World IVF Day, Oasis Fertility, today announced the launch of its groundbreaking awareness campaign, ” Break the Test Tube & Break the Taboo,” across all its centers. This initiative aims to challenge societal stigmas associated with In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) and to promote awareness about the advancements and safety of Assisted Reproductive Technologies (ART).

Breaking the Stigma Surrounding IVF

The “Break the Test Tube & Break The Taboo” campaign is rooted in the understanding that societal perceptions often label IVF as an unnatural and lesser form of conception. Such views can discourage individuals and couples from seeking the fertility help they need. Oasis Fertility is committed to dispelling these myths and demonstrating that IVF, backed by advanced science and technology, is a safe and effective method of achieving pregnancy.

Dr. Durga G Rao, Co-founder and Medical Director, Oasis Fertility, said, “IVF is much more than a test tube baby. Over the past 50 years, ART has evolved tremendously, incorporating various scientific techniques such as Preimplantation Genetic Testing (PGT) and Endometrial Receptivity Array (ERA). These advancements ensure that IVF is as natural and safe as any other pregnancy method.”

To address critical gaps in women’s health in India, particularly in preventive care and preconception counselling. We empower first-time mothers with doctor-reviewed pregnancy care information, reducing pregnancy risks and enhancing maternal health outcomes,” she added.

To further encourage individuals to overcome societal taboos and seek fertility treatment, Oasis Fertility is offering a special 15% discount on spot IVF bookings made between July 25th and 28th at all of their of their centres, spread across Hyderabad, Bangalore, Chennai, Pune, Vijayawada, Visakhapatnam, Chennai, Vadodara, Raipur, Ranchi, Bhubaneswar and other towns in Telangana, Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka & Maharashtra. This offer includes all necessary medications and cannot be combined with other promotional offers. By offering this discount, we hope to make fertility treatments more accessible and encourage people to take the first step towards fulfilling their dream of parenthood.

Oasis Fertility stands at the forefront of using cutting-edge scientific practices to ensure the birth of healthy babies. The campaign underscores the importance of viewing IVF through the lens of modern science rather than outdated societal notions. By highlighting the safety, efficacy, and natural aspects of IVF, Oasis aims to make the idea of seeking fertility help more acceptable and less intimidating.

This World IVF Day, Oasis Fertility encourages you to talk about fertility issues and the assistance available through scientific advances in IVF & other advanced reproductive technologies. Inviting everyone to take a pledge to shatter the stereotypes, break the taboo & bust the myths around IVF and spread awareness about the science of fertility, with empathy and love for all the beautiful couples who are just waiting to hold their baby in their arms.

Oral cancer refers to a group of cancers that can affect any part of the mouth, including the lips, tongue, gums, and lining of the cheeks. While oral cancer can be a severe and life-threatening disease, early detection, diagnosis, and staging are crucial to improving outcomes and reducing mortality rates.

Early detection of oral cancer is essential for improving treatment outcomes and increasing survival rates. The earlier the cancer is detected, the more effective the treatment options will likely be. In addition, early detection can also help to reduce the need for more extensive and invasive treatment options, such as surgery or radiation therapy. Regular dental check-ups are crucial for the early detection of oral cancer. During a dental examination, if your mouth has any signs of abnormalities or changes, such as lumps, sores, or changes in the tissue’s colour or texture, it is recommended to undergo a biopsy to confirm the presence of cancerous cells.

Symptoms of Oral Cancer

In addition to regular dental check-ups, awareness of the signs and symptoms of oral cancer is essential. The most common symptoms of oral cancer include:

1. Persistent mouth sores or ulcers that do not heal
2. A lump or thickening in the mouth or throat
3. Red or white patches on the tongue, gums, or lining of the mouth
4. Difficulty swallowing or speaking
5. Hoarseness or changes in the voice
6. Ear pain or persistent sore throat
7. Numbness or pain in the mouth or lips

Diagnosis of Oral Cancer

If oral cancer is detected by a dentist at an initial stage, referring to an oral and maxillofacial surgeon or an ear, nose, and throat (ENT) specialist is the next step. This moved to a more detailed examination of your mouth and throat, and you may order additional tests, such as imaging scans or a biopsy. A biopsy is a procedure in which a small tissue sample is removed from the affected area and sent to a laboratory for analysis. The laboratory will analyse the tissue to determine whether cancerous cells are present and, if so, what type of cancer it is.

Staging of Oral Cancer

Once a diagnosis of oral cancer has been confirmed, the next step is determining the cancer stage. Staging determines the extent and spread of cancer, which is crucial for selecting the most appropriate treatment options. The staging of oral cancer is typically based on several factors, including the size and location of the tumor, whether cancer has spread to nearby lymph nodes, and whether it has metastasised (spread) to other parts of the body. The most common staging system used for oral cancer is the TNM system, which stands for Tumor, Node, and Metastasis.

Treatment of Oral Cancer

The treatment of oral cancer depends on several factors, including the cancer stage, the tumour’s location, and the patient’s overall health. Treatment options may include surgery, radiation therapy, chemotherapy, new targeted therapies and immunotherapy options or a combination of treatments
