The man, identified online as Rayban Naklengboon from Pak Tho in Mueang Ratchaburi, central Thailand, took to Facebook to share photos of his chilling discovery. The images showed the black-and-yellow snake’s head clearly visible, peeking out from the frozen treat.

“Is it dead yet?” – the viral post

Rayban’s post, written in Thai, read: “Such big eyes! Is it dead yet? Black bean, street vendor, real picture because I bought it myself.” His reference to “black bean” is a nod to a type of ice cream commonly sold by street vendors in Thailand.

The post immediately gained traction, attracting thousands of reactions, comments, and shares. Users couldn’t believe their eyes, with many expressing both horror and amusement over the bizarre discovery.

Social media reacts with shock and humour

The comments section quickly turned into a mix of jokes and genuine concern. One user quipped, “This is why I stick to store-bought ice cream.” Another remarked, “Forget black bean, this is clearly a new flavour—snake surprise.”

Some users were more horrified than amused. “I will never buy ice cream from a street vendor again!” one person wrote, while another questioned, “How does something like this even happen? Did no one check before freezing?”

Others couldn’t resist cracking jokes. “Congratulations! You unlocked the ‘wild’ version of ice cream,” someone teased. Another commented, “This gives a whole new meaning to brain freeze.”

Others warned about the potential dangers of consuming street food. “This is why food safety regulations are so important,” one user pointed out. Another quipped, “At least you got more protein with your dessert.”

Reliance Jio introduced recharge plan without data, will get 365 days validity

A few days ago, TRAI had instructed all telecom companies to offer recharge plans with only calling and SMS, so that users who do not use data can benefit. After this rule, Jio has introduced two voice only recharge plans. In this plan of Jio, only calling and SMS facility will be available.

Jio Recharge Plan: A few days ago, TRAI had instructed all telecom companies to offer cheap recharge plans with only calling and SMS. After this rule of TRAI, Jio has introduced two cheap recharge plans with only calling and SMS. Jio has listed two new voice only plans on its website, in which users will get a long validity of up to 365 days. This plan will benefit those users who do not use data.

This plan of Jio is especially for those users who only use calling and SMS and who do not need data. Both these plans of Jio come with a validity of 84 days for Rs 458 and 365 days for Rs 1958. Users will get a lot of benefits in both these plans of Jio. Let’s know the full details about these plans.

84 day Jio plan

Jio’s new Rs 458 plan comes with a validity of 84 days. In this plan, users get unlimited calling and 1000 free SMS. Apart from this, users also get free access to apps like Jio Cinema and Jio TV. This plan has been brought especially for those users who use only calling and SMS. In this plan, unlimited calls and free national roaming facility is provided on any network across India.

Jio’s 365 days plan

Jio’s new Rs 1958 prepaid plan comes with a long validity of 365 days. In this plan, users get the benefit of unlimited calling on any network across India. Along with this, 3600 free SMS and free national roaming are also included in it. This plan also provides free access to apps like Jio Cinema and Jio TV, so that users can also enjoy entertainment to the fullest.

Jio removed two plans

Jio has now removed two of its old recharge plans from its list. These plans were of Rs 479 and Rs 1899. The Rs 1899 plan offered 24GB data with a validity of 336 days, while the Rs 479 plan offered 6GB data with a validity of 84 days.

Sitting for long hours has the same consequences as smoking, drinking?

Sitting for long hours has the same consequences as smoking, drinking?

etimes.in | Mar 7, 2025, 02.49 PM IST

Prolonged sitting is equivalent to physical inactivity and its health consequences has been a primary concern of health experts. The World Health Organisation (WHO) has advised to engage in 150 minutes of physical activity per week to give the body the minimum amount of movement and activity. Lack of physical activity or in other words long sedentary hours can lead to obesity, a major risk factor of several life threatening diseases.

Health risks associated with sitting for too long

A sedentary lifestyle is associated with an increased risk of heart diseases. Research indicates that individuals who sit for more than eight hours a day without physical activity have a risk of dying similar to the risks posed by obesity and smoking.

Prolonged sitting slows down metabolism, affecting the body's ability to regulate blood sugar and blood pressure, and to break down body fat. This can lead to obesity and metabolic syndrome—a cluster of conditions that increase the risk of heart disease, stroke, and diabetes.

Physical inactivity is a significant risk factor for developing type 2 diabetes. Extended sitting periods can lead to insulin resistance, a precursor to diabetes.

Sedentary behavior has been linked to an increased risk of anxiety and depression. The lack of physical activity can affect mental well-being and cognitive function.

If sitting is the new smoking, how can we quit?

A 2016 study on the harmful effects of sitting is one of the studies that estimated the future of the impact of this biological shift and its effect on the global population. The study published in the British Journal of General Practice, highlights the negative of sitting for too long. "The fact that we can’t erase the effects of a lifetime spent sitting at the desk (or on the sofa) with a few weekly trips to the gym is an inconvenient truth at a time when the majority of the population, GPs included, remain wedded to our desks and computers.

So if sitting is the new smoking, how do we quit? One response has been the adoption of standing desks," the researchers say and later add that standing still for extended periods is uncomfortable and may come with its own health implications (varicose veins, foot pain).

Practical tips to follow:

Stand up and move around every 30 minutes. Even short, frequent walking breaks can significantly reduce health risks.

Aim for at least 150 minutes of moderate-intensity or 75 minutes of high-intensity exercise each week, as recommended by health guidelines.

Limit recreational screen time and incorporate more physical activities into your leisure routine.

When sitting, maintain proper posture to reduce strain on muscles and joints.

AP veterinary students protest low stipends, demand parity with MBBS interns

AP veterinary students protest low stipends, demand parity with MBBS interns

Interns say they have been getting a stipend of Rs 7,000 per month since 2013, while medicos are being paid Rs 25,906.

VIJAYAWADA: For over a month, veterinary science students across Andhra Pradesh, including those at Sri Venkateswara Veterinary University (SVVU) in Tirupati, have been protesting against low stipends.

They demand a revision, citing stark disparities: Bachelor of Veterinary Science (BVSc) interns receive Rs 7,000 per month—unchanged since 2013—while MBBS interns earn Rs 25,906. Postgraduate veterinary students get Rs 9,000, compared to Rs 64,000 for medical counterparts, and Ph.D. scholars receive Rs 10,000.

“This is blatant injustice,” said P Naswar Khan, president of the Andhra Pradesh Veterinary Students and Graduates Association. With around 2,000 students across four veterinary colleges, Tirupati, Gannavaram, Proddatur, and Garividi, and 300 final-year interns, including 69 at Garividi, frustration is mounting.

Khan pointed out that BVSc interns, who spend six months at polyclinics and another six at farms, zoos, and laboratories, bear additional expenses for accommodation and transport without extra support. “Our stipends were once on par with MBBS students in 2013, but medical stipends have increased while ours have stagnated,” he said. Students also noted that veterinary fees rise annually, whereas government medical college fees remain fixed while stipends increase.

The Veterinary Council of India (VCI) took up the issue, with its president, Dr Umesh Chandra Sharma, writing to Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu on February 13, 2025, following a student appeal on February 12. He stressed veterinarians’ role in preventing zoonotic diseases and ensuring food safety, arguing that their stipends should match those of medical students.

SVVU students have formally demanded a stipend hike to Rs 25,906 for undergraduates and Rs 64,000 for postgraduates, with a 15% annual increase. They claim their protests have been ignored for 13 years. Research scholars also report funding shortages due to budget constraints.

SVVU vice-chancellor (in-charge) Prof. JV Ramana told TNIE that the issue was raised with the State government in July and October 2024, with assurances that it is under review. His team, along with parents, is persuading students to halt their protests.

Minister K Atchannaidu has reportedly discussed the matter with the Chief Minister, who proposed a 50% stipend hike. However, students, learning this unofficially, insist on at least Rs 15,000 and vow to continue striking.

The YSRCP has urged the government to act immediately, stressing the need to support veterinary students and safeguard farmers’ interests.

Garividi vet college students’ future hangs in limbo

The future of 69 final-year students at Garividi Veterinary Science College remains uncertain as the Veterinary Council of India (VCI) has yet to recognise their third, fourth, and fifth years. “Without recognition, we can’t intern or apply for PG exams,” said final-year student D Lokesh Sai. Amid a month-long strike, sources say VCI approval is progressing.

Can aspirin prevent cancer from spreading?

Can aspirin prevent cancer from spreading?

etimes.in | Mar 7, 2025, 04.02 PM IST

The findings of a new study can change the course of cancer treatment.

As per the study, the findings of which have been published in the journal Nature, scientists have uncovered the mechanism behind how aspirin could reduce the metastasis of some cancers by stimulating the immune system.

“Despite advances in cancer treatment, many patients with early stage cancers receive treatments, such as surgical removal of the tumour, which have the potential to be curative, but later relapse due to the eventual growth of micrometastases – cancer cells that have seeded other parts of the body but remain in a latent state. Most immunotherapies are developed to treat patients with established metastatic cancer, but when cancer first spreads there’s a unique therapeutic window of opportunity when cancer cells are particularly vulnerable to immune attack. We hope that therapies that target this window of vulnerability will have tremendous scope in preventing recurrence in patients with early cancer at risk of recurrence," said Professor Rahul Roychoudhuri in the Department of Pathology at the University of Cambridge, who led the study.

Aspirin controls cancerous growth by decreasing TXA2

The scientists traced signals in the cell to determine that ARHGEF1 is switched on when T cells are exposed to a clotting factor called thromboxane A2 (TXA2). TXA2 is produced by platelets - a cell in the blood stream that helps blood clot, preventing wounds from bleeding, but occasionally causing heart attacks and strokes. Aspirin reduces the production of TXA2, leading to the anti-clotting effects, which underlies its ability to prevent heart attacks and strokes.

"This new research found that aspirin prevents cancers from spreading by decreasing TXA2 and releasing T cells from suppression. They used a mouse model of melanoma to show that in mice given aspirin, the frequency of metastases was reduced compared to control mice, and this was dependent on releasing T cells from suppression by TXA2," the researchers have said.

“It was a Eureka moment when we found TXA2 was the molecular signal that activates this suppressive effect on T cells. Before this, we had not been aware of the implication of our findings in understanding the anti-metastatic activity of aspirin. It was an entirely unexpected finding which sent us down quite a different path of enquiry than we had anticipated," Dr Jie Yang in the Department of Pathology at the University of Cambridge, first author of the report, said.

Aspirin, a widely used medication, serves multiple therapeutic purposes. It effectively alleviates pain, reduces fever, and addresses inflammatory conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis and pericarditis. Additionally, aspirin is utilized in treating rheumatic fever and Kawasaki disease. In lower doses, it plays a crucial role in preventing cardiovascular events by inhibiting platelet aggregation, thereby reducing the risk of heart attacks and strokes in individuals with existing cardiovascular conditions.

Madras High Court Imposes ₹5 Lakh Costs On State Of Tamil Nadu For “Re-Agitating” Case Which Had Already Been Decided By Supreme Court

Madras High Court Imposes ₹5 Lakh Costs On State Of Tamil Nadu For “Re-Agitating” Case Which Had Already Been Decided By Supreme Court

The Madras High Court recently imposed a cost of Rs. 5 Lakh on the State of Tamil Nadu for filing a writ appeal in a matter that had already attained finality through the order of the Supreme Court.

Dismissing the appeal filed by the State, Justice R Subramanian and Justice G Arul Murugan noted that the appeal was a “re-agitation” of a matter that had already been settled by a division bench of the Court and approved by the Supreme Court. Thus, the court imposed a cost directing the state to pay Rs. 2,50,000 to the sanitary worker whose appointment was challenged and the remaining Rs. 2,50,000 to be paid to the Madras High Court Legal Services Authority.

“Since we find that this appeal is re-agitation of a matter, which is already settled by a Division Bench of this Court and approved by the Hon'ble Supreme Court, we impose cost of Rs.5,00,000/- on the Government. A cost of Rs.2,50,000/- is to be paid through the College to the person appointed as a Sanitary worker and the remaining sum of Rs.2,50,000/- shall be paid to the Madras High Court Legal Services Authority. The Government is granted four weeks time to comply with the order of the learned single Judge. Costs shall be paid within a period of 15 days from today,” the court said.

The state had filed the appeal challenging an order of the single judge approving the appointment of a Sanitary worker in St. Chritopher's College, which was a minority educational institution.

As per Rule 11(1) of the Tamil Nadu Private Colleges Regulation Rules 1976, the Government was to grant aid for the appointments made by the Institution. The State, however, issued a Government Order on October 24, 2013, to fill up Group-D posts in Government Aided Arts and Science College through contractual workers in an attempt to prevent private aided colleges from making regular appointments.

When the GO was challenged, the High Court allowed the plea and quashed the GO in 2017. The Government unsuccessfully challenged the single judge's order. The division upheld the order and dismissed the appeal in 2019. The issue was also a subject matter of challenge before the Supreme Court by way of a Special Leave Petition. The SLP was dismissed by the SC in 2022, making the quashment of GO final.

In the present case, the college approached the court after the Directorate of Education failed to approve the appointment of a sanitary worker. The single judge allowed the college's plea and ordered the State to grant the approval.

Though the state relied on a single judge's order to argue that the government had a right to pass a Government Order regulating the appointment to sanctioned posts in Government aided colleges, the court noted that the single judge's order was unsustainable as it ran counter to the order already upheld by the Supreme Court. The court held that though the Government had the power to regulate appointments in Government aided Colleges, it could not be done by way of administrative order contrary to the rules already in force.

Thus, finding no merit, the court dismissed the appeal.

இறைநிலை அல்லது இயற்கையின் படைப்பில், எல்லா உயிர்களும் சமம். இதைத்தான் வள்ளுவப் பெருமகனார், "பிறப்பொக்கும் எல்லா உயிர்க்கும் சிறப்பொவ்வா செய்தொழில் வேற்றுமையான்' என்று கூறுகிறார். அதாவது, எல்லா உயிர்களுக்கும் பிறப்பு ஒரு தன்மையானதே. ஆயினும், செய்கின்ற தொழில்களில் உயர்வு, தாழ்வு வேறுபாடுகளால் சிறப்பியல்பு ஒத்திருப்பதில்லை என்பது அக்குறளின் பொருள். ஆக பிறப்பால் எல்லா உயிர்களும் சமம் என்பது உறுதி.

உணவு உண்ணக் கூடிய அடிப்படையில் உலகில் உள்ள உயிர்கள் மூன்று வகைப்படும். முதலாவது, தாவர உணவுகள் அல்லது சைவ உணவுகளை மட்டுமே உண்ணக் கூடிய "ஹெர்பிவோர்' எனப்படும் தாவர பட்சிணிகள், இரண்டாவது, மற்ற உயிரினங்களை உணவாக உண்ணக் கூடிய அல்லது அசைவ உணவுகளை உண்ணக் கூடிய "கார்னிவோர்ஸ்' என்று சொல்லக்கூடிய மாமிச பட்சிணிகள். மூன்றாவது, தாவர உணவுகள் மற்றும் மாமிச உணவுகள் இரண்டையும் உண்ணக் கூடிய "ஆம்னிவோர்ஸ்' என்று சொல்லக் கூடிய சர்வ உண்ணிகள்.

கற்கால மனிதன் ஆரம்ப காலத்தில் காடுகளிலும், குகைகளிலும், அடர்ந்த வனங்களிலும் வாழ்ந்து வந்தான். அவனுக்குப் பசி வரும்போது, தன் பசியைப் போக்கிக் கொள்ள, தன்னை விட வலிமை குறைந்த விலங்குகளை வேட்டையாடி, அவற்றின் மாமிசத்தை பச்சையாக உண்டு வந்தான். அடுத்து, கற்களை உரசி நெருப்பை உண்டாக்கத் தெரிந்தபின் வேட்டையாடிய மாமிசங்களை தீயில் பொசுக்கி, வேக வைத்து உண்டு மகிழ்ந்தான். சுட்ட மாமிசம் ருசியாக இருந்ததால், ருசியான உணவுக்கு மனிதன் அடிமையாக ஆரம்பித்தான். ஆனால், இதே காலகட்டத்தில் மரங்களிலிருந்தும், செடிகளிலிருந்தும் விளையக் கூடிய பல வகையான கனிகளையும், காய்கறிகளையும் அவை என்னவென்றே தெரியாமல் உண்டு வந்தான்.

காலப்போக்கில் விலங்குகளின் எண்ணிக்கையில் தட்டுப்பாடு ஏற்பட்டதாலும், அதனால் ஏற்பட்ட பசியின் கொடுமையாலும், மனிதன் மாற்று உணவைத் தேடத் தொடங்கினான். அப்போது தன் அறிவால் சிந்திக்கத் தொடங்கி, தானியங்களைப் பயிர் செய்யும் விவசாயத்தைக் கற்றுக் கொண்டான். இப்போது ஆறாவது அறிவின் பயன்பாட்டாலும், அதை உபயோகிக்கத் தெரிந்து கொண்ட ஆற்றலாலும் மாமிச உணவுடன் தாவர உணவையும் சேர்த்து, இரண்டையும் புசித்து வந்தான்.

ஆறாம் அறிவு இல்லாத, ஐந்தறிவு கொண்ட சீற்றம் நிறைந்த வனமிருகங்கள், தம் பசியைப் போக்கிக் கொள்ள தம்மை விட வலிமை குறைந்த மிருகங்களை வேட்டையாடி வாழ்ந்து வருகின்றன. இதற்காகவே, இயற்கை அந்த மிருகங்களுக்கு கோரைப் பற்களைப் படைத்துள்ளது. அந்த கோரைப் பற்களைக் கொண்டுதான் வேட்டையாடிய மிருகங்களின் உடல்களைக் கிழித்து உண்ண முடிகிறது. மனிதனுக்கு கோரைப் பற்களை இறைநிலை படைக்கவில்லையே! மனிதன் அசைவ உணவுகளை உண்பது முரணல்லவா?

மேலும், எந்த மருத்துவரும், தானிய உணவுகள் காய்கறி, பழங்கள், கீரை வகைகளை விட புலால் உணவு மனிதனுக்கு சிறந்தது என்று மனமுவந்து பரிந்துரைப்பதில்லை. முடிந்தவரை புலால் உணவைத் தவிர்த்துக் கொள்ளுங்கள் என்றுதான் அறிவுறுத்துகிறார்கள். அதிலும் நாற்பது வயதுக்கு மேல் முதுமை தொடங்குவதால் புலாலில் உள்ள அதிகப்படியான புரதமும் கொழுப்பும் நம் ரத்தத்தில் கலந்து, "கெட்ட கொலஸ்ட்ரால்' என்று சொல்லக் கூடிய கொழுப்பை அதிகப்படுத்தி, ரத்தநாளங்களில் அடைப்புகளை ஏற்படுத்தி, மூளை, இதயம் போன்ற முக்கியமான உறுப்புகளைச் செயலிழக்கச் செய்து, பக்கவாதம், மாரடைப்பு போன்ற கொடிய நோய்களுக்கு வழிவகுக்கின்றன.

கோழி நமக்கு முட்டையைத் தருகிறது. முட்டையை விழுங்குவதோடு நில்லாமல் அந்த கோழியையே விழுங்கி விடுகிறோம். சேவல் விடியற்காலையில் பொழுது புலர்ந்ததை கூவல் மூலம் அறிவித்து உழவனையும் உலகையும் எழுப்பி விடுகிறது. அந்தச் சேவலையும் பிரியாணி செய்து உண்கிறோம்.

எந்தப் பாவமும் அறியாத ஆடு தன் கழிவு மூலம் விவசாய பூமியை வளம் பெறச் செய்கிறது. மேலும் ஆட்டுப்பால் மிகுந்த சக்தி தரக் கூடிய, அஹிம்சா மூர்த்தி அண்ணல் காந்தியடிகளால் மிகவும் விரும்பி அருந்தப்பட்ட அருமையான உணவாகும். அந்த ஆட்டையும் கொன்று உண்கிறோம்.

நம்மை ஈன்ற மாதாவுக்குப் பிறகு, நமது குழந்தைப் பருவம் முதல் நாம் இறக்கும் வரை, தன் பாலையும், பால் சார்ந்த உணவுப் பொருள்களையும் நமக்கு கொடுக்கின்ற, "கோமாதா' என்று தெய்வமாக வணங்கப்படுகின்ற நம் இரண்டாம் தாயான பசுவையும்,விவசாய நிலங்களில் ஏர் உழுவதற்கும், நீர் இறைப்பதற்கும், வண்டி இழுப்பதற்கும், மேலும் தன் சாணத்தை விவசாய நிலத்துக்கு அற்புதமான எருவாகக் கொடுக்கிற, உழவர்களின் நண்பனாகவும், அவர்தம் குடும்பத்தில் ஓர் பிள்ளை போலவும் உழைக்கின்ற எருதுகளையும் கூட கொன்று உண்டு விடுகிறோம். ஆனால், வருடாவருடம் மாட்டுப் பொங்கல் கொண்டாடத் தவறுவதில்லை.

பாலைவனத்தில் கொளுத்தும் வெயிலிலும், பொதிகளையும் மனிதர்களையும் சுமந்து சென்று, தன் பாலையும் உணவாகத் தருகின்ற ஒட்டகங்களையும் வெட்டிச்சாய்த்து உண்டு விடுகிறோம். "வேதாத்திரி மகரிஷி' தனது "தென் வாழ்க்கைவிளக்கம்' என்ற நூலில் கூறியுள்ள செய்தியைக் காண்போம். அவர் சிறுவனாக இருந்தபோது ஒரு புத்தகத்தில் ஒரு பாடலைப் படித்திருக்கிறார்.

"அம்மாவென அலற ஆருயிரைக் கொன்றருந்தி இம்மானிடரெல்லாம் இன்புற்றிருக்கிறார், அம்மாவெனும் ஓசை கேட்டகன்ற மாதவர்க்கும்விளையாட்டு பொய்மா நரகமெனில், புசித்தவர்க்கென் சொல்லுவதோ' என்பது அந்தப் பாடல். அதாவது, ஓர் உயிரைக்கொல்லும்போது அது "அம்மா' என்று அலறும். அப்படி அலறுகின்ற உயிர்களைக் கொன்று, அதை உண்டு மனிதரெல்லாம் இன்பமாக வாழ்ந்து கொண்டிருக்கிறார்கள். அப்படி அந்த உயிர் "அம்மா' என்று அலறும்போது, அந்த அலறலைக் கேட்ட பிறகும், அதைக் கண்டு கொள்ளாமல், அந்த இடத்தை விட்டு அகன்று செல்லுகின்ற ஒருவர், பெரும் தவம் புரிந்த யோகியோ அல்லது ஞானியோ ஆயினும் அவருக்கும் நரகம்தான் வாய்க்கும். அப்படியெனில் அதை உணவாகப் புசித்தவர்க்கு என்ன கதிஆகுமோ, அதைப்பற்றி என்ன சொல்லுவதோ என்பது அதன் பொருள். இந்தப் பாடலைப் படித்தபின், அந்த வேதனையை உணர்ந்து, அன்றுமுதல் புலால் உண்பதில்லை என்று சபதமேற்று, பின்னாளில் மிகப் பெரிய ஞானியாக வாழ்ந்து, இந்த மண்ணுலகுக்கு "மனவளக்கலை' என்ற பொக்கிஷத்தை கொடுத்துச் சென்றுள்ளார்.

தன் உணவுக்காக மனிதன் பிற உயிர்களைக் கொல்லும்போது அவன் நான்கு குற்றங்களைச் செய்வதாக கூறுகிறார்.

1. முதலாவது, "கொலைக்குற்றம்' - பிற உயிரைக் கொல்வது என்னும் கொலைக்குற்றம்.

2. இரண்டாவது, "வாழும் சுதந்திரத்தைப் பறித்தல்' - இறைநிலை எல்லா உயிர்களுக்கும் இந்த மண்ணில் வாழும் சுதந்திரத்தைக் கொடுத்திருக்கிறது. அந்த சுதந்திரத்தைப் பறிப்பதற்கு யாருக்கும் உரிமையில்லை.

3. மூன்றாவது, பிறர் பொருளைப் பறித்து உண்ணுதல் - ஒரு குறிப்பிட்ட விலங்கைக் கொன்று, அவ்விலங்குக்குச் சொந்தமான உடலை, அவ்விலங்கின் சம்மதம் இன்றி பறித்து உண்ணுதல். இது பல தருணங்களில் நம்மிடமுள்ள பொருள்களை குரங்குகள் நம் மீது பாய்ந்து பறித்து உண்பதற்கு ஒப்பாகும்.

4. நான்காவது "பிறர் பொருள் திருடுதல்' - மற்றொரு உயிருக்குத் தெரியாமல் அதன் உடலை நாம் உண்பதற்காக திருடுவது என்கிற குற்றம். நம்மையோ நம் உறவுகளையோ முன்பகை போன்ற ஏதோ சில காரணங்களால் சக மனிதர்கள் வெட்டிக் கொன்றால் நாம் பொறுத்துக் கொள்கிறோமா? உடனே பதறிப்போய், காவல் துறையிடமும், நீதி மன்றங்களிலும் முறையிட்டு நீதி கேட்கிறோம். வாயில்லா ஜீவன்கள் எங்கே செல்லும்? நம் மனசாட்சிதான் மற்ற உயிர்களுக்கான நீதிமன்றம். நாம் நல்ல நீதிபதிகளாய் வாழ்வோம்.

கடவுளால் நமக்கு கொடுக்கப்பட்ட நம் உயிரை மாய்த்துக் கொள்வதற்கு பெயர் தற்கொலை. தற்கொலை செய்வது சட்டப்படி குற்றம். நம் உயிரை நாமே மாய்த்துக் கொள்ள நமக்கே உரிமை இல்லாதபோது, பிற உயிர்களைக் கொல்வதற்கு நமக்கு யார் உரிமை கொடுத்தார்கள்? காட்டில் உள்ள வனவிலங்குகள் எவற்றையும் வேட்டையாடக் கூடாது என்பது சட்டம். ஆனால், நாம் வீட்டில் வளர்க்கும் ஆடு, மாடு, கோழி யாவற்றையும் கொல்வதற்கு எந்தச் சட்டம் இடம் கொடுக்கிறது? இன்று தெரு நாய்களைப் பிடிப்பதற்கு எதிர்ப்புத் தெரிவிக்கும் கருணை கொண்ட நல் இயக்கங்கள், நாள்தோறும் லட்சக்கணக்கான உயிர்களை உணவுக்காகக் கொன்று உயிர் வாழும் மனிதர்களையும், அந்த உணவால் நாள்தோறும் பல கோடிகளை குவித்துக் கொண்டிருக்கின்ற உணவகங்களையும், நட்சத்திர விடுதிகளையும் ஏன் எதிர்ப்பதில்லை?

ஏன் இந்த முரண்பாடு? நல் உள்ளம் படைத்தோர் சிந்திக்கட்டும். கட்டுரையாளர்: மா. கல்யாண மோகன் தனியார் நிறுவன அதிகாரி (ஓய்வு)

If you are someone who doesn't discard medications post the expiry date and your stash of medicines includes loads of leftover antibiotics, painkillers and allergy pills, there is something you need to know.

There are times, when people may take medications post their expiry date, as they don't understand the implications. However, doing so can be dangerous in many cases. In other cases, the potency of the medicine may be lost. While popping an old ibuprofen might not spell disaster, expired antibiotics, heart medications, insulin, and EpiPens are a whole different story. Let's understand which expired medications are the most dangerous to take and what can happen if you end up taking them.

Dr. Jamie Winn, a pharmacist and medical director at Universal Drugstore, tells The New York Post that taking certain medications post their expiration date can pose serious risks to health.

“While it can seem harmless, you can put your health at risk if you’re unaware of what can happen while taking medication beyond its expiration date,” he says.

5 medicines you should NOT mix with magnesium

Medications that may not cause much damage post expiration Winn says over-the-counter painkillers like ibuprofen and acetaminophen, as well as antihistamines, are relatively safe to consume after their expiration dates. However, they may not be as effective and people may end up taking more pills than advised which can adversely affect health.

“The risk here isn’t toxicity, which can happen during the breakdown of some more serious medications, but loss of potency, so they won’t be as effective,” he said.

This “may encourage people to take more pills than advised. This can take a toll on your body.”

Expired drugs you should NEVER takeWinn says certain drugs should never be taken after their expiration date, even if you are planning to take them close to the expiration date. It's important to check the label and strictly follow the mentioned expiry dates.

Antibiotics The expert says antibiotics like tetracyclines if consumed past the expiration date may lead to kidney damage. Winn also says that these medications may lose their effectiveness and may not help eliminate bacteria from the body, which can make the disease worse.

“This is the case, especially with liquid antibiotics, which can become contaminated once the [expiration] date has passed.”

The expert says one shouldn't store extra antibiotics in the house and buy the medications as per the prescribed course. "Not taking the full course can cause your infection to come back, and it may also increase the risk of antibiotic-resistant bacteria that is harder to treat.”

Heart medicines  People with heart conditions should never have expired medications as they may lose their effectiveness and may not work as intended.

InsulinInsulin that helps regulate blood sugar levels in people with diabetes should not be taken past its expiration date, as it can lead to uncontrolled glucose levels in the body, which can cause diabetes complications.

“Those with Type 1 diabetes rely on insulin to help regulate their blood sugar on a daily basis. Once expired, it may not work effectively and can cause hyperglycemia, which can lead to some very serious complications,” the expert said.

EpiPensT he drugs are life-saving and if their expiration date is not considered, they may not be effective, which can cost a life.

“If the medication begins to degrade, it may not be able to provide the life-saving effect needed if someone is experiencing an anaphylactic shock,” he said.

“Expiration dates are important for many reasons, but mainly it’s because over time, the ingredients inside the medication can begin to break down. Think of it in the same way food spoils when for a prolonged period,” Winn said

“This means the medication will not work as well, or worse, become harmful. Which in effect can cause unexpected side effects or dangerous reactions. The older the medication, the higher this risk becomes.”

Here are other side effects of expired medicineToxicity: Expired liquid antibiotics, eye drops, and creams can become contaminated with bacteria, leading to new infections instead of treating the original issue.

Infection: Chemical changes in expired drugs could trigger unexpected allergic responses or skin irritation, especially with creams, ointments, or eye drops.

It is important to store your medications in a cool and dry place and keeping them in humid areas can make them break down more quickly.

JAIPUR: A 26-year-old MBBS student of Kota Medical College died by suicide in his hostel room Wednesday night, leaving a brief note apologising to his parents for not being able to fulfil their dreams. The student, Sunil Bairwa, was a resident of Bassi in Jaipur.

Police said Sunil was suspended from college for a year during third year after being allegedly caught cheating, which led to the cancellation of two papers he wrote. Officials suspect the suspension and subsequent struggles with the college administration pushed him into depression, ultimately leading to his death.

His body was discovered in his room at the undergraduate hostel, according to Mahaveer Nagar police station SHO Ramesh Kavia. The hostel warden first informed the college principal, who then contacted the police. Officers found the two-line suicide note in his room.

Alleging harassment by the college, Sunil's father, Kajodmal, said Sunil secured admission to Kota Medical College in the 2019-20 after learing NEET. Kajodmal said Sunil failed his first year exam, but a review of his answer sheets after the family filed a case with Rajasthan University of Health Sciences (RUHS) declared him as having passed nearly eight months after the original results were published.

Sunil encountered fresh difficulties in the third year, when he was accused of cheating, resulting in two papers he wrote getting cancelled. Kajodmal alleged Sunil was unable to continue his studies in the last year and a half after successive difficulties. He also said whenever Sunil approached the administration to seek resolution, they harassed him instead of offering support.

An Air India flight from Chicago to Delhi returned to the US city after being airborne for more than ten hours on Thursday, with the airline saying the return was due to a technical issue.

However, a source aware of the development told PTI that the aircraft had to return as many of the lavatories were clogged.

The flight was operated with a Boeing 777-337 ER aircraft and returned to Chicago’s ORD airport after being airborne for over ten hours, according to information available on flight tracking website flightradar24.com.

There are 10 lavatories, including two for first-class passengers, in the Boeing 777-300 ER aircraft operated by Air India and has little over 340 seats, including first, business and economy class seats, the source said.

The source also said only 1 lavatory was functional.

When reached out for comments, an Air India spokesperson said AI126 operating Chicago to Delhi on March 6 air-returned to Chicago due to a technical issue.

“Upon landing at Chicago, all passengers and crew disembarked normally and have been provided with accommodation to minimise inconvenience. Alternative arrangements are being made to fly the passengers to their destination,” the spokesperson said in a statement.

The spokesperson also said that full refunds on cancellation and complimentary rescheduling are also being offered to passengers if opted by them.

Lack of grace marks reels in medicos as 14% fail exam

Lack of grace marks reels in medicos as 14% fail exam

SLUG: PG MEDICAL 7.3.2025

Ahmedabad: As many as 14% postgraduate medical students out of 300 who had appeared in their exams in Dec 2024 failed to clear it. All had sought re-checking of the marks. However, as the Gujarat University (GU)'s digital assessment system did not show any scope for alteration, the students and members of Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad (ABVP) on Wednesday demanded faculty-led re-evaluation. Sources said that the high failure rate was due to discontinuation of grace marks awarded to students.

The result for the MD, MS and DNB courses was declared on Feb 20. The students claimed that they had performed adequately well, but majority have failed in paper 2 and 3. They have submitted a formal request to the university authorities seeking physical re-verification of their answersheets.

In response to the student demonstration, GU authorities plan to petition the National Medical Commission (NMC) for a review. Subject to approval, physical rechecking would be undertaken. Students and ABVP members alleged that their request for manual rechecking remained unaddressed for over a week.

Experts associated with medical examinations stated that earlier practice of awarding minimal grace marks to students who marginally failed was discontinued following recent NMC regulations. "If the student was failing the exam for up to cumulative 5-7 marks, the examiners would often provide the grace marks. But this year, this practice is not followed, and is believed to be one of the reasons for relatively higher failure percentage," said an official associated with medical fraternity.

Hyderabad : Dental and medical students pursuing PG courses on Thursday appealed to health minister Damodar Rajanarasimhato intervene and address the concerns regarding the exorbitant fees charged by private dental institutions. According to the students, dental colleges have now almost doubled the fees they initially charged. They said this increase will impose huge financial constra ints on them. “When I took admission under the A category, I paid a fee of ₹3.4 lakh for that year. But now, the colleges are forcing us to pay fees of up to ₹6 lakh. Moreove r, they are asking me to pay the revised amount for my first year as well. Certificates of students who completed their final year are also being withheld until they pay the fee as per the revised amount.

What is the poiint of securing a seat on merit if we could have directly paid for the management quota (category B and C) for admission? This will put an additional burden on our parents too, as most students come from middle-income groups. We have to shell out money from our own pockets for conferences, instruments, and other logistics,” a second-year MDS student at a Hyderabad dental colleg e told TOIon the condition of anonymity. According to the All India Dental Students Association (AIDSA), citing GO 107, the fee for category B has been raised from around ₹7 lakh to as high a s ₹13 lakh by dental colleges. Similarly, the fee for category Cwill be 1.5 times higher than category B, as per the GO.

3.2CM BONE DAMAGED RUBY’S OESOPHAGUS 

TIMES NEWS NETWORK 07.03.2025

Mumbai : A dinner treat turned into a misadventure for Kurla’s Shaikh family. On Feb 3, Ruby Shaikh (name changed), a 34-year-old woman juggling a seven-year-old daughter, a six-monthold son and four in-laws, was enjoying a rare treat — chicken biryani from a local restaurant. Little did she know that a chicken bone would take her on a month-long medical journey that would baffle doctors. The modestly priced biryani left Ruby’s husband, a supervisor in a local factory, with an ₹8 lakh bill, though the hospital later halved it through donations. The 3.2cm chicken bone that damaged Ruby’s oesophagus was extracted on Feb 8. But when doctors at Criticare Asia Hospital began the throat procedure, it vanished from its initial position (C4-C5 vertebral discs). X-ray and ultrasound examinations couldn’t find it in the chest or abdomen. A CT scan, performed while the patient was intubated, revealed its unexpected upward movement to the nasopharynx, the topmost part of the throat. 

The operation lasted eight hours instead of two hours. Immediately after choking on Feb 3, Ruby arrived at the hospital where an X-ray scan showed a foreign object in her neck. Moved upwards, 

 Due to effect of anaesthesia, bone moved upwards: Doc 

Ruby refused CT scans and admission but returned two days later with fever, high blood pressure, and oral infection. This time, through endoscopy and CT scans, doctors found the foreign body in the cervical oesophagus, having caused bilateral perforations. ENT surgeon Dr Sanjay Helale said, “Scans carried out before the surgery revealed the bone was still in the earlier position.” He chose an open surgery as the bone was close to the carotid artery to the brain and the patient’s perforated food pipe needed repair. “Perhaps due to manipulations of the oesophagus during dissection or due to the effect of anaesthesia, the bone moved upwards,” said Dr Helale, who plans to send the case to a medical journal for publication. Dr Ajay Bhandarwar, head of the surgery department at J J Hospital, Byculla, said the movement from the food pipe back to the throat was unusual. 

Ruby, who was fed through a tube for weeks, has meanwhile told her husband that she will not eat biryani or cook it.

New RUHS VC takes charge amid protests by med assn First Pharmacist To Hold VC Post At Any Govt Health Varsity

New RUHS VC takes charge amid protests by med assn First Pharmacist To Hold VC 

Post At Any Govt Health Varsity 

Intishab.Ali@timesofindia.com 06.03.2025

 Jaipur : Dr Pramod Yeole assumed the role of Vice Chancellor of Rajasthan University of Health Sciences (RUHS) on Wednesday, succeeding Dr. Dhananjai Agarwal, amidst ongoing protests led by the Indian Medical Association (IMA) and various teaching associations across the state. 

Dr Yeole's appointment, made by Rajasthan Governor Haribhau Bagde, has stirred significant unrest, as he becomes the first pharmacist to occupy the VC position at any govt health university in India. Following his induction, Yeole expressed his intention to leverage his extensive experience of over 30 years in university administration, having served as Vice Chancellor in five universities, to elevate RUHS to new heights.

Despite his assurances, the appointment has been met with fierce opposition from medical practitioners in Rajasthan. Critics argue that appointing a non-MBBS degree holder to lead an institution that oversees 30 medical colleges undermines the integrity of medical education. IMA’s Rajasthan chapter has issued a warning of state-wide demonstrations if the decision is not reversed, citing the critical need for strong medical leadership to uphold educational standards and foster research within the university. 

Dr Yeole, who holds a PhD in Pharmaceutical Sciences, maintained that his appointment adhered to the regulations stipulated by the university Act and the guidelines set forth by University Grant Commission. "Since the selection committee followed the provisions in the university Act, I believe this protest will not be an issue. The administration operates on a committee-based model, and we will work collaboratively to benefit the university,” he said in an interview with TOI. 

With a leadership background that spans four decades, including significant roles at Dr Babasaheb Ambedkar Marathwada University and Rashtrasant Tukadoji Maharaj Nagpur University, Yeole emphasized his commitment to teamwork and inclusive governance. IMA, however, remained unconvinced. 

IMA Rajasthan secretary Dr PC Garg expressed concerns regarding the implications of appointing a pharmacist as VC of a health university. “Health universities play a crucial role in setting high standards for medical education and advancing research. The VC must possess comprehensive knowledge of clinical practices and public health challenges,” Garg asserted. In his first actions as VC, Dr Yeole met with Governor Bagde and interacted with RUHS statutory officers

Coming soon: MSc in forensic nursing in India to train for critical roles in crime investigation

Onmanorama Staff

PUBLISHED: NOVEMBER 05 , 2024 04:22 PM IST 1 MINUTE READ

The Indian Nursing Council (INC) has announced the launch of an MSc course in Forensic Nursing. Alongside this, the INC is also introducing a range of new courses for advanced studies in nursing. The upcoming speciality programmes will prioritise clinical training over theoretical coursework.

MSc in forensic nursing

The MSc programme in Forensic Nursing is open to candidates who have completed a BSc in Nursing with a minimum of 55% marks and possess at least one year of working experience after registering with the state council. Candidates from scheduled categories will receive a 5% marks exemption.

This programme emphasises nursing care for victims of violence and prepares nurses to support not only the victims but also their families during crime investigations. Graduates will have opportunities to work as nurse specialists, consultants, and educators. Beyond traditional hospital roles, this course also presents emerging career paths in medical examination rooms.

New courses

The INC has developed a draft plan for several clinical residency programs aimed at creating specialised nursing practitioners. This includes Nurse Practitioner programmes in Paediatric Nursing (NPPN) and Nephrology Nursing (NPNPN), among others. The feedback on the draft plans can be submitted via email to secy.inc@gov.in. The plans to launch residency programmes for Nurse Practitioners in Family Health and Neonatal Nursing are in the final stages of development

State nursing councils cannot refuse to register nurses who secure nursing degree from other States: Karnataka High Court

State nursing councils cannot refuse to register nurses who secure nursing degree from other States: Karnataka High Court

Published - February 11, 2025 08:09 pm IST - Bengaluru

THE HINDU BUREAU

A State government or State nursing council cannot deny registration of a graduate in BSc (Nursing) course for the reason that the student has not graduated from a college within that State, the High Court of Karnataka has said while directing the Kerala Nurses and Midwives Council (KNMC) to register two women from Kerala who had secured their BSc (Nursing) degree from a college in Karnataka.

The court also said that a State nursing council cannot insist on the need to furnish a certificate of registration/recognition from the Indian Nursing Council (INC) for the purpose of enrolment/registration to practice the profession of nursing in that particular State.

College in Mangaluru

Justice Suraj Govindaraj passed the order while allowing a petition filed by Daniya Joy and Neethu Baby, who secured their BSc (Nursing) degree from a college in Mangaluru in 2023.

The petitioners had questioned the action of the KNMC in insisting that they should submit registration/affiliation of the nursing institution from where they had completed their education in BSc (Nursing) with the INC to register them as they had not secured their nursing degree from Kerala.

However, while pointing out that there is no mandate under the INC Act for a college involved in the field of nursing education to seek and obtain registration from the INC for the purpose of carrying out its activities, the court said that with there being no requirement for registration with the INC, nor any procedure being provided for under the INC Act for registration, the question of the KNMC insisting upon petitioners to produce such registration certificate from the INC, does not arise.

Valid across India

“Once a citizen of India is qualified and has been conferred a degree, that degree would be valid across the country, which has to be recognised by every institution... A degree issued by a university having jurisdiction in a particular taluk, district, or State will be be recognised not only in all States of the country but even abroad,” the court observed.

The court also said, “No law can bind a person to a particular State, or mandate that a person can only work in the State where he or she has obtained his or her education. Narrow parochial views like these must be avoided and it is required to be held that a citizen of the country having a fundamental right to practice any trade or profession, such a person would be so permitted to practice their trade or profession anywhere in the country.

No need for reciprocity

Also, the court made it clear that there would be no requirement for any separate arrangement between the nursing councils of one State and another State to arrive at reciprocity. “The concept of reciprocity is unnecessary because the recognition of the degree being nationwide, any nursing council across the country will have to consider and act upon a degree conferred in another State, on account of the education being completed in a college recognised by the nursing council of that State,” the court observed.
