The study showed that DCA improved bone density and structure, while also reducing harmful inflammatory signals. At the same time, it strengthened the gut lining and helped restore healthy bacteria. These findings reinforce the concept of the importance of the “gut-bone” axis in health.
The investment supports expansion of NewEra Hospitals to deepen access to quaternary care across the region. NewEra Hospitals currently has two hospitals in Nagpur and one in Navi Mumbai. It has established strong clinical credibility in complex specialities including neurosciences, transplant and cardiology.
According to a Niva Bupa Health Insurance survey, 55% of policyholders in the age group who lapse do so within three years of purchase, indicating that early adoption is often tentative and lacks long-term commitment. This high churn suggests that buying decisions are frequently driven by short-term triggers rather than a sustained understanding of risk protection.
The research team, comprising Devendra Verma and research scholar Shreya Chrungoo, have also secured a patent titled, ‘A High Shape-Fidelity Protein-Polysaccharide Composite Bioink for 3D Bioprinting’ for the developed technology. The patent was granted on March 18, 2026.
Shifts between cool, air-conditioned spaces and hot, humid outdoors are part of modern life, especially in India. "Body heat" is the everyday sense of internal warmth or an overactive heat balance; medically, we track core temperature (~37°C). Sudden or repeated changes in ambient temperature can affect comfort, hydration, and — in extreme cases safety. Below are practical, safe, and culturally useful steps to recognise excess body heat, cool down immediately, and build lasting tolerance, whether you live with AC or rely on natural ventilation. What is 'body heat' and how to recognise excess heat Definition: body heat vs core temperature Core temperature is the internal temperature your body maintains (around 37°C). The everyday idea of "body heat" includes sensations like feeling unusually warm, flushed skin, or digestive/irritability changes. Mild increases are often normal after exercise, spicy food or being in hot weather; persistent or very high temperatures can indicate heat st
The findings, published in the journal Nature Medicine, suggests that biological changes linked to Parkinson's disease may emerge prior to the onset of clinical symptoms, which could potentially help identify people in early stages of disease development.
Nadda emphasised that while the country has performed very well on the communicable diseases front, non-communicable diseases (NCDs) need more focus as observing their outcomes require more time, and a knowledge gap exists in this field which needs to be addressed.
A higher microbial diversity was associated with a stronger hormonal and subjectively perceived stress reactivity, with the results, published in the journal Neurobiology of Stress, suggesting that the gut microbiome may play a role in regulating the acute stress response.
The innovations focus on two critical components of dialysis — haemodialyser filters and high-purity water systems — both of which contribute substantially to treatment costs. According to the scientists, the technologies have the potential to cut consumable expenses by nearly 70%, making dialysis far more affordable for patients with chronic kidney disease.
The advisory further highlighted that certain manufacturers are using ashwagandha leaves and their extracts in products, and clarified that the use of Ashwagandha leaves in crude, extract, or any other form is not permitted.
As non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, surges across India, experts are exploring the role of GLP-1 receptor agonists. But while these drugs offer hope, leading hepatologist Dr SK Sarin cautions that they are not a silver bullet.
The proposed study aims to develop and test scalable palliative care models across district hospitals, community health centres, primary health centres and home-based settings, covering patients across age groups and illnesses.
The group’s Indian arm, Meyer Vitabiotics, accounts for around 20% of the total Rs 3,000 crore (£253 million) in annual sales. Within Meyer’s portfolio, Calcimax holds a strong presence across paediatrics, diabetes, cardiac care, and women’s health segments, particularly in pregnancy and menopause.
In Ayurveda, all teachings hold that when doshas (functional energies) and agni (digestive fire) are balanced, we feel light, bright and content. When these forces are disrupted, we may feel unwell despite our best efforts to live a healthy life. This guide — grounded in the classical Ayurvedic texts — explores how to recognise imbalance and return to your natural state. What Does "Out of Balance" Mean in Ayurveda? Ayurveda describes three fundamental energies: Vata, Pitta and Kapha. Every individual carries all three, but in different proportions. Maintaining the right balance of these energies is the foundation of health. Vata – Space & Air Governs movement, breathing and the elimination of wastes. Pitta – Fire & Water Governs digestion, metabolism and transformation. Kapha – Earth & Water Governs structure, stability, lubrication and immunity. Prakriti vs Vikriti: Your Constitution vs Your Current State Your prakriti is your innate constitutional type ,fixed
As India prepares for the next phase of parliamentary delimitation, experts say shifts in political representation could influence national healthcare priorities and funding patterns. Greater representation for populous states may push a stronger focus on primary healthcare, maternal and child health, and addressing health infrastructure gaps. Experts caution that financing decisions must consider disease burden and system capacity not population alone. They also highlight a deeper issue in India’s healthcare financing structure, where states shoulder most public spending and rigid budgeting processes often limit effective fund utilisation. Overall, while delimitation may influence policy priorities, meaningful healthcare reform will depend on more balanced and efficient financing mechanisms.
The device, called the “Asthana Stent”, is the result of a collaboration between liver transplant surgeon Sonal Asthana of Aster CMI Hospital and researchers led by Kaushik Chatterjee at IISc, spanning its Departments of Materials Engineering and Bioengineering.
Calling for regulatory tightening within the existing legal framework, the Centre has urged states to enforce provisions of the Clinical Establishments Act, 2010 and push for standardised package rates across hospitals. It has also stressed the need for stronger grievance redressal mechanisms to address disputes among hospitals, insurers and patients.
The therapy, developed by the team at Texas A&M University in the US and involving two doses of the spray, also helped restore the brain cells' mitochondria, or power plants, and significantly improved memory in mice.
DNA methylation marks were measured from samples taken when the children were aged 5 to 12 years, and compared them with samples taken from the umbilical cord to assess pre-breastfeeding. The researchers examined whether there was any difference related to the experience of being breastfed.
A silent epidemic of fatty liver disease is affecting nearly one in three urban Indian residents, with a concerning rise in the 30-50 age group and even among obese children. Doctors warn that changing lifestyles, including sedentary habits and poor diet, are driving this surge.
