PUNE: Cardiovascular disease is affecting Indians at increasingly younger ages. Studies indicate that over 50 percent of coronary artery disease-related deaths in India occur in individuals under the age of 50, while nearly one in four heart attacks is reported in people younger than 40. Maharashtra has also witnessed a growing burden of heart disease among younger populations, with rising cases among men in their 30s and women between 40 and 60 years of age. Pune, too, has seen an increase in heart attack cases among teenagers and young adults under 30, a trend experts attribute to sedentary lifestyles, unhealthy dietary habits, rising stress levels, and other lifestyle-related risk factors.

As more patients undergo angioplasty and live longer after their initial treatment, cardiologists are increasingly seeing patients return years later with recurrent blockages, narrowed stents, and complex coronary artery disease. For many, treatment often means another stent, repeat interventions, or even bypass surgery. At Sahyadri Super Speciality Hospital, Deccan Gymkhana, advanced cardiac laser therapy is helping expand treatment options for such patients, offering a minimally invasive approach that can help restore blood flow, support faster recovery, and, in selected cases, avoid additional stents or bypass surgery.

The impact of the therapy is reflected in the lives of patients across age groups and life stages. A 76-year-old man was able to avoid bypass surgery after developing a severe blockage inside a previously implanted stent, allowing him to return to the comfort of everyday life. For a 21-year-old man with a complex coronary blockage, the treatment restored blood flow while avoiding additional permanent implants, helping safeguard a future filled with ambitions and milestones yet to come. Similarly, a 56-year-old man who had already survived two heart attacks underwent laser-assisted angioplasty for recurrent blockages, enabling him to move forward without the burden of another major cardiac procedure. While their journeys were different, the outcome was the same—a renewed chance at life, health, and hope.

Advanced cardiac laser therapy is very helpful for treating stents that didn’t work, complicated blockages, and arteries with a lot of calcium, using a method that doesn’t require big cuts, and most patients go home within 24 hours.

Speaking about the growing role of technology, Dr. Abhijeet Palshikar, Director – Cardiology, Sahyadri Super Speciality Hospital, said, “As more patients undergo angioplasty and live longer after their initial treatment, we are witnessing a rise in complex coronary artery disease requiring repeat intervention. Advanced cardiac laser technology has significantly strengthened our ability to manage these challenging cases with greater precision. We are increasingly utilising this technique for specialised redo angioplasties where previously implanted stents have failed, enabling effective treatment while helping many patients avoid bypass surgery.”

Dr. Nilesh Singh, Hospital Director, Sahyadri Super Speciality Hospital, Deccan Gymkhana, “The introduction and use of advanced cardiac laser technology reflect our focus on expanding access to contemporary cardiovascular care for patients. This approach has supported the management of complex coronary conditions through a minimally invasive method. Such innovations contribute to improved clinical outcomes and patient experience, while helping reduce the need for repeat interventions in suitable cases. Over time, this has also supported the care of many patients across different clinical profiles.”

For patients living with failed stents, recurrent blockages, and complex coronary artery disease, advanced cardiac laser therapy is offering more than an alternative treatment option—it is helping many return to their families, careers, and everyday lives with renewed confidence and hope.

The core leadership team includes Dr. Ketan Deshpande (Secretary General), Dr. Amol Rege (Vice President), and Kolkatta-based spine surgeon Dr. Anindya Basu as Treasurer. A comprehensive organizational structure has been established, comprising executive, scientific, and academic committees with around 30 executive members representing institutions across the country.

Unilateral bi-portal endoscopic (UBE) spine surgery is an advanced minimally invasive procedure that uses two small portals—one for a high-definition endoscopic camera and the other for surgical instruments—to access the spine with precision. This endoscopic approach allows surgeons to operate through tiny incisions while continuously visualizing the surgical field on a screen, thereby minimizing damage to surrounding muscles, ligaments, and tissues. Unlike traditional open surgery, it avoids large cuts and extensive dissection, resulting in less blood loss, reduced post-operative pain, and faster recovery, said Dr Amol Rege. UBE can be effectively used across the entire spine, including cervical (neck), thoracic (mid-back), and lumbar (lower back) regions. It is commonly indicated for conditions such as slipped discs, spinal stenosis, nerve compression, infections, and even certain fusion procedures, added Dr Ketan Deshpande. Dr Anindya Basu said that the technique combines the advantages of endoscopy with the flexibility of conventional instruments, making it a versatile and increasingly preferred option in modern spine care. The procedure has been developed in Korea over the past decade and widely adopted globally. Its cost-effectiveness and adaptability make it suitable even for smaller hospitals.

Dr. Shailesh Hadgaonkar said that this is an important milestone in the field of spine surgeries in India. The India Chapter aims to create structured academic programs, standardized training modules, and fellowship opportunities to ensure safe and effective adoption of this technique. With approximately 9-10 thousand spine surgeons in India, the initiative targets both young and experienced neurosurgeons and orthopaedic spine specialists who are increasingly transitioning toward endoscopic approaches.

The official installation ceremony of the India Chapter will be held on June 20–21, 2026, bringing together leading spine surgeons from across the country for the first in-person gathering following initial virtual meetings conducted in recent weeks.
Dr.Hadgaonkar said that the India Chapter will be aligned with global UBE chapters in the United States, Australia, China, and Korea and will facilitate international collaboration, workshops, and knowledge exchange—advancing the future of minimally invasive spine surgery in the region.

HYDERABAD: For nearly five months, a 14-year-old boy from Hayathnagar lived through a nightmare that neither he nor his family could understand. What began as repeated vomiting slowly turned into constant suffering, severe weakness, inability to eat properly, and, later, even constipation. Hospital after hospital, test after test, and multiple medications brought no answers and no relief.

As the young boy’s health continued to deteriorate, frustration and fear gripped the family. Despite several consultations and investigations at different hospitals, doctors were unable to identify the exact cause behind his worsening condition.

Hope finally emerged when the family reached out to Dr. Bhupathi Rajendra Prasad, Sr. Consultant & Head, Department of Surgical Gastroenterology & Robotic Surgery at CARE Hospitals, Malakpet, through contacts in their local colony.

During the very first consultation, after carefully listening to the patient’s history and symptoms, Dr. Bhupathi suspected a rare and often-missed condition called Superior Mesenteric Artery (SMA) Syndrome— a disorder in which part of the small intestine gets compressed between major blood vessels, leading to persistent vomiting, abdominal pain, nutritional deficiency, and severe digestive problems.

To confirm the diagnosis, the patient underwent a Contrast-Enhanced CT (CECT) Abdomen scan at a reputed diagnostic centre in Hyderabad. Surprisingly, the initial report described the scan as normal, despite the suspected diagnosis being specifically mentioned in the clinical notes.

But Dr. Bhupathi was not convinced.

After personally reviewing the CT films and discussing the case in detail with radiologists using the scan CD, his suspicion remained strong. He advised a repeat evaluation, which finally confirmed the rare SMA Syndrome diagnosis, solving the mystery that had troubled the family for months.

Soon after, the teenager underwent a successful Laparoscopic Duodenojejunostomy, an advanced minimally invasive surgery performed to bypass the compressed portion of the intestine. The surgery was successful, and the boy was discharged within just three days.

Today, the teenager is completely symptom-free, eating normally, and has returned to his routine life.

Speaking about the case, Dr. Bhupathi Rajendra Prasad said, “This was not just about treating a disease, but about identifying a condition that many may overlook because the symptoms resemble common gastric problems. In patients with persistent unresolved symptoms, doctors must think beyond routine diagnoses. Careful clinical judgement and correlation with imaging are extremely important in arriving at the correct diagnosis.”

Dr. Praveen Kumar Edla, Chief Operating Officer, CARE Hospitals, Malakpet, said, “This case highlights the importance of expertise, persistence, and multidisciplinary teamwork in solving complex medical conditions. At CARE Hospitals, we are committed to delivering advanced and patient-centric care, especially in rare and challenging cases where timely diagnosis can completely change a patient’s life.”

Doctors say SMA Syndrome is considered a rare gastrointestinal disorder and is often difficult to diagnose because its symptoms mimic common digestive illnesses. Specialists caution that persistent vomiting, unexplained abdominal discomfort, sudden weight loss, and prolonged digestive complaints should never be ignored, especially when symptoms continue despite repeated treatment.

For this Hyderabad family, what once felt like an endless medical struggle has now become a story of recovery, hope, and a second chance at normal life.

When we think about geriatric care, we often focus first on disease. We think of blood pressure, diabetes, arthritis, or heart problems. But in everyday practice, two of the biggest issues that affect the quality of life of senior citizens are much simpler and more fundamental: sight and mobility.

When older adults lose clear vision, daily life begins to shrink. They may stop reading comfortably. They may hesitate while walking. They may avoid going outdoors alone. They may struggle with medicines, cooking, stairs, social interaction, and simple confidence. Vision loss does not affect only the eyes. It affects independence.

That is why cataract care must be seen as an essential part of geriatric care.

Cataract is one of the most common and treatable causes of poor vision in older adults. Yet for many families, the decision around cataract surgery becomes financially stressful very early. The discussion often shifts from what is best for the patient to what seems affordable in the moment. The lens choice becomes a source of confusion and anxiety, and elderly patients may feel they are choosing between better vision and financial caution.

I believe that this is the wrong way to approach such an important aspect of ageing.

At Vencer, we have been thinking deeply about how geriatric care should evolve. As we engaged more closely with senior citizens and their families, one lesson became clear: when it comes to ageing, sight and mobility are not secondary concerns. They are central concerns. If an elderly person cannot see clearly, mobility also suffers. And when mobility suffers, so do confidence, social connection, and safety.

That is why we are shaping a cataract care package around a very simple principle: the patient should pay one fee for the surgery, regardless of which lens is finally selected. The purpose of this approach is not promotional. It is philosophical and practical. We do not believe that the economics of cataract surgery should force elderly patients into a narrower medical conversation than they deserve.

The lens choice should be based on the patient’s lifestyle, visual needs, and clinical suitability. Some may need a solution that supports distance vision more strongly. Others may value reading, daily function, or specific routine needs. These discussions should happen in a calm and medically appropriate way, not under financial pressure that makes the patient feel that a better fit is automatically out of reach.

This is also part of a larger shift for us at Vencer. We are working on geriatric-focused care packages with community participation, because we believe senior care should be built around real lived problems, not only around hospital categories. We are listening carefully to what older adults and their families are struggling with most. Again and again, the same concerns come up: seeing clearly, moving safely, staying independent, and managing care without becoming a burden on the family.

Healthcare for the elderly must become simpler, kinder, and less intimidating. Essential care should not feel like a financial maze. Cataract treatment is too important to be reduced to a pricing dilemma. If we want geriatric care to truly serve the patient, then we must remove unnecessary stress from the decision-making process.

In the end, good geriatric care is not just about adding years to life. It is about protecting function, dignity, and confidence. And when it comes to sight, senior citizens deserve the freedom to choose what is best for their needs, not what fear of cost allows.

INDIA: Dr. Reddy’s and Nestlé Health Science Limited, a joint venture between Dr. Reddy’s Laboratories Ltd (BSE: 500124, NSE: DRREDDY, NYSE: RDY, NSEIFSC: DRREDDY; along with its subsidiaries together referred to as “Dr. Reddy’s”) and Nestlé India Limited (BSE: 500790, NSE: NESTLEIND) referred hereafter as “Nestlé India”, today announced the launch of Celevida^®GLP+, a specialised scientifically designed product to support optimum nutrition intake and muscle mass maintenance for sustaining metabolic and functional health for people undergoing GLP-1/GIP therapy* for management of type 2 diabetes and obesity in India.

As GLP-1/GIP–based therapies become more widely adopted in the management of type 2 diabetes and obesity, improving access to advanced treatment options for patients, it has become increasingly important to build an integrated ecosystem beyond medication. Encompassing nutrition, clinical monitoring, and long-term patient support, this ecosystem should be an enabler for sustained and holistic outcomes for patients managing type 2 diabetes and obesity. A critical component of this approach is addressing the nutritional gaps and muscle health challenges associated with these therapies to improve overall outcomes.

M.V. Ramana, CEO, Global Generics at Dr. Reddy’s Laboratories Limited and Director, Dr. Reddy’s and Nestlé Health Science Limited, “GLP-1 therapies represent a significant advancement in diabetes and obesity management. However, a clear unmet need remains in supporting patients beyond pharmacological treatment, particularly in addressing nutrition gaps and preserving muscle health during therapy. As patients experience changes in body composition, ensuring adequate nutrient intake and maintaining lean body mass become critical to sustaining long-term outcomes. With Celevida^® GLP+, we aim to address this gap through a targeted, science-backed nutritional solution that complements pharmacological therapies and supports better overall patient outcomes in their everyday journey. As part of this commitment, we remain focused on advancing integrated, patient-centric solutions that enable more sustainable and holistic management of metabolic health.”

Insights from senior Indian clinicians highlighted a critical and often under-recognized risk: muscle loss during GLP-1/GIP therapy. Studies indicate that 25-40% of total weight loss associated with GLP-1 and dual GLP-1/GIP therapies may be attributed to lean body mass loss ^(1,2). Experts noted that this risk may be amplified in Indians due to inherently lower baseline skeletal muscle mass and higher body fat mass (3), which may be further compounded by chronically low protein intake of approximately 0.6g/kg/day⁽⁴⁾. This creates a dual vulnerability, making muscle preservation not just important, but essential for long-term metabolic health.

Clinical and expert consensus recommend increasing protein intake to 1.2–1.5 g/kg/day to help preserve muscle mass during weight loss, highlighting the need for customised nutritional support ⁽⁵⁾.

Addressing this need, Celevida^® GLP+ has been scientifically designed and co-created with leading endocrinologists and diabetologists to address protein gaps and preserve muscle mass and function in individuals undergoing GLP-1/GIP therapy. It is formulated using fast-absorbing whey protein isolate (WPI), known to be gentle on the gut and suitable during periods of gastrointestinal intolerance commonly associated with GLP-1/GIP therapy.  Celevida® GLP+ provides 48 g of protein per 100 g, along with 100% RDA (Recommended Dietary Allowance) of branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs). It also provides 27 essential nutrients, including vitamins A, D, and calcium. Dr. Reddy’s and Nestlé Health Science have an established presence in specialised nutrition for people with diabetes through its Celevida^® Diabetes Nutrition, designed to support comprehensive diabetes management. The formulation is clinically proven to support sustained 24-hour blood glucose control and reduce HbA1c levels (6), and is characterised by a low glycaemic index⁽⁷⁾, making it suitable for long-term metabolic management.

Celevida^® GLP+ is available in a 350 g pack across pharmacies, retail outlets, and leading e-commerce platforms.

BENGALURU: Taking a major initiative towards expert liver care, Aster Whitefield Hospital has declared the launch of the first dedicated Liver Intensive Care Unit (ICU) in Karnataka. This is a state-of-the-art facility designed only for liver failure patients, those having biliary problems, and liver transplant cases. The ICU, named SHIELD (Specialized Hepatic Intensive & Emergency Liver Division), is a state-of-the-art facility designed solely for patients with liver failure, biliary problems, and liver transplant cases. Setting the Liver-specific ICU as a real rescue for patients in critical condition, it is a confluence of renowned doctors, modern facilities, and continuous patient monitoring to provide highly specialised, multi-disciplinary care aimed at improving patient outcomes. Through this, Aster has once again shown its desire to promote islands of excellence aimed at quaternary single-organ care pathways for better results for patients with complicated liver diseases. The programme was honoured by the presence of Dr. C. N. Manjunath, Hon’ble Member of Parliament (Lok Sabha), as the Chief Guest.

Speaking ahead of the inauguration, Dr. C. N. Manjunath said, “Liver problems are turning out to be a sneaky but major health issue in India, and usually, it’s at a very severe stage when the patients are found. A liver ICU dedicated to liver care opening at Aster Whitefield Hospital is a very appropriate and great step that will enable our healthcare system to be more efficient and quicker in handling very difficult liver cases. Apart from better survival chances, specialized facilities equip the patient care to be comprehensive and in collaboration with various medical disciplines.”

Adding to this, Dr. H R S Girn, Senior Consultant – HPB and Liver Transplant surgeon, Aster Whitefield Hospital, said: “The establishment of a specialty Liver ICU represents an innovative approach in the establishment of a single point care facility for liver sick patients requiring what we call the Liver Arc services (Hepatology, ICU, Surgery, Transplantation, Luminal and radiological interventions) under one roof. A person with decompensated cirrhosis or liver failure experiences rapid changes within a short period of time. Thus, in this case, having a speciality dedicated ICU implies that all actions can be taken efficiently and effectively for the patients and their families. In turn, this provides a seamless referral and healthcare delivery pathway aimed at holistic liver care, liver-specific training for budding future specialists, and brings liver care at par with other resource-intensive single-organ dedicated ICUs like the Cardiac or Neuro ICUs, which have traditionally been the norm.  With busy lives, nuclear families, and increasing liver disease burden in the country, single organ-specific facilities under trusted brands like Aster are the need of the hour as a single point of contact resource for the patients suffering from life-threatening conditions.”

Srikant Subudhi, Chief Operating Officer, Aster Whitefield Hospital, added: “At Aster Whitefield Hospital, the core of our efforts is the creation of highly sophisticated, patient-oriented healthcare ecosystems that can effectively meet the various clinical needs of today and tomorrow. The launching of Karnataka’s first dedicated Liver ICU is a powerful indication of how we are always ready to put our money into the specialised infrastructure which is capable of dealing with the increasing complexity of liver-related diseases. Not only does this facility leverage state-of-the-art technology and a wide range of medical experts, but it also ensures continuous monitoring for better clinical results and provides easier access to specialised and high-quality treatment.“

The Liver ICU will be a collaborative endeavor by a team of highly skilled and proficient physicians, including liver transplantation surgeons, hepatologists, and gastroenterologists, as well as critical care specialists. This dedicated unit will try to fill a major void in the liver care infrastructure of Karnataka, and it will be a one-stop solution for patients to get timely, cutting-edge, and life-saving treatment.

Imagine a garden where some seeds sprout overnight, while others remain beneath the soil, waiting for the right conditions to bloom. In child development, we often hear the phrase “wait and watch,” but for a child facing neurodivergent challenges, waiting can mean missing the most critical growth window. Early Intervention is that “right condition”, it is the specialized sunlight and soil that allows a child to flourish. At Walnut Child Development Clinic, we don’t just wait for milestones; we create the neurological pathways that make them possible. Whether it is a child with Autism finding their first words or a toddler with ADHD learning to navigate a sensory-heavy world, our mission is to turn “I can’t” into “I did.”

The Science of “Now”
The human brain undergoes its most rapid period of development between birth and age 5. During this window, neuroplasticity, the brain’s ability to form new neural connections, is at its peak. Early Intervention is not just about “catching up”; it is about clinical precision. By addressing concerns like primitive reflex integration, communication, social pragmatics, sensory processing, and motor planning early on, we can literally reshape a child’s developmental trajectory.

At Walnut Clinic, our approach moves beyond traditional therapy. We look at the “whole child.” For instance, a child struggling with attention in school might actually be dealing with underlying postural insecurities or unintegrated reflexes. By addressing the root physiological cause, we unlock their ability to learn and engage.

A Holistic Ecosystem of Care
True transformation requires more than a single perspective, which is why Walnut Clinic operates as a multidisciplinary sanctuary. Under the expert guidance of Dr. Chanchal Agrawal and Mrs. Deepali Maheshwari, our team works in a seamless loop of communication. We understand that a child isn’t a collection of isolated symptoms; they are a complex, blooming individual. To support this, we offer a comprehensive range of evidence-based treatments:

• Occupational Therapy: Improving sensory processing, fine motor skills, and independence in daily activities.
• Speech and Language Therapy: Bridging communication gaps for both verbal and non-verbal children.
• Pediatric Physiotherapy: Enhancing functional strength, posture, and gross motor milestones.
• Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) and Behavioral Support: Utilizing structured strategies to manage social transitions and school-based behaviors.
• Special Education: Tailoring learning techniques to meet the unique cognitive needs of every learner.
• Group therapy: To enhance child social development ( Pragmatics)

A 360-Degree Support System for Families
We firmly believe that a child’s progress shouldn’t be confined to a 45-minute therapy session. This is why Walnut Clinic is a pioneer in building a supportive ecosystem that extends far beyond the therapy room. We don’t just treat children; we empower entire families through our dedicated community initiatives.
We also host free parental support groups that serve as a safe space for families to connect, share experiences, and learn strategies for navigating challenges.
Furthermore, we believe that the right tools make all the difference in home-based progress. The Walnut Store offers a curated selection of therapeutic toys, sensory tools, and educational aids specifically chosen by our experts to complement your child’s clinical goals. This ensures that the progress made at our clinic continues seamlessly within the comfort of your home.

Conclusion: Empowering the Journey Ahead
The true measure of early intervention is not found in a single session, but in the long-term confidence a child carries into the world. It is about ensuring that every child, regardless of their starting point, has the tools to navigate life with independence and joy. At Walnut Child Development Clinic, we see our role as more than just therapists; we are partners in your child’s growth. By bridging the gap between clinical expertise and a supportive community through our workshops, store, and support groups, we strive to make the developmental journey one of hope and celebration rather than stress. Your child’s potential is a story waiting to be written, and we are here to provide the support needed to make every chapter a success.
