The Face Pain That Makes Life Unbearable: Understanding Trigeminal Neuralgia
By – Ms. Palak Dengla, Chief Physiotherapist, Aster RV Hospital
What Is This Condition?
Imagine someone stabbing your face with a hot knife every time you smile, eat, or feel a breeze. That’s trigeminal neuralgia – when your facial nerve goes haywire, sending lightning-bolt pain through your cheek, jaw, or forehead.
Who Gets Hit?
This nightmare strikes 4-13 people per 100,000 yearly. Women get it more often, usually after age 50. In India’s cities, we’re seeing more cases.
Why “Suicide Disease”?
The pain is so crushing it drives people to desperate thoughts. When you can’t eat, drink, or speak without agony, life becomes unbearable.
Celebrity Reality Check
Bollywood star Salman Khan revealed his battle in 2011, saying he wouldn’t wish this pain on his worst enemy. Even superstars aren’t immune.
What Actually Helps?
Problem Muscles: Your jaw muscles (masseter, temporalis) and deep chewing muscles go into painful spasms, squeezing the nerve.
Myofascial Release Magic: Studies show releasing trigger points in these specific muscles works wonders:
• Lateral pterygoid (deep jaw muscle) – most important
• Masseter (cheek muscle)
• Temporalis (temple muscle)
Postural Correction: Examining and correcting the posture of sitting and sleeping has worked dramatically in my experience
Research proves 10 sessions of targeted muscle release as part of other Physiotherapy regime helps patients in long term.
Daily Survival Tips:
• Ultra-soft toothbrush
• Lukewarm, mushy foods only
• Gentle face massage
• Anti-seizure medications
• TENS therapy
Take away: Remember: this condition is beatable with the right team – doctors, physiotherapists, and your support system working together. Combining muscle release therapy as part of Manual Therapy of Physiotherapy and medication beats this condition. You’re not helpless – there’s real hope with the right treatment team.
No Cuts, No Stitches, How Neuro-Intervention Treats Brain Conditions Without Open Surgery
By – Dr Sumit Goyal, Director, Neurosurgery and Group Director Neurointervention, Yatharth Hospital, Greater Noida
For a long time, brain problems like stroke or aneurysm could only be treated through open surgery, which meant cutting open the skull, long recovery, and visible scars. But now, a new approach called neuro-intervention allows doctors to treat many serious brain conditions without making a single cut on the head.
The result is a safer, quicker, and less painful recovery. In India, over 18 lakh people suffer a stroke every year, and the demand for faster, less invasive brain treatment is rapidly growing across both urban and rural areas.
Understanding the Procedure
Neuro-intervention is a method where doctors treat brain conditions using a very thin tube, inserted through a small hole in the leg or wrist. With the help of live X-ray images, the tube is guided through blood vessels all the way to the brain. Once it reaches the affected area, the doctor can remove a blockage, seal a weak blood vessel, or stop abnormal bleeding.
The entire treatment is done from outside the brain, with no cuts or stitches on the head. In most cases, the patient remains awake or under light sedation. However, certain procedures or emergency situations may require general anaesthesia for safety and comfort. Most patients are able to go home in just a day or two. There is no large wound, and recovery is much faster compared to traditional brain surgery.
Common Conditions Treated Without Surgery
One of the main uses of neuro-intervention is stroke treatment. In strokes caused by a blood clot, doctors can use a special device through the tube to pull the clot out and restore blood flow to the brain. This can help prevent long-term disability and even save lives, if done in time.
Another common condition is brain aneurysm, which is a balloon-like bulge in the arteries that can burst and cause dangerous bleeding. Doctors can now treat them by placing coils or flow diverters through catheters to seal them off safely from the inside
Neuro-intervention can also be used for carotid artery stenting, a procedure that treats narrowed neck arteries supplying blood to the brain. By placing a stent through a minimally invasive route, doctors can restore blood flow and lower the risk of stroke without requiring open surgery.
Faster Recovery and Why Timing Matters
Because this method doesn’t involve cutting the head, patients feel less pain, recover faster, and have fewer risks of infection or complications. Many are able to walk the same day, and the hospital stay is much shorter. Some may need physiotherapy or speech therapy afterward, especially in stroke cases, but overall, recovery is quicker and smoother.
In emergencies like stroke, every minute matters. If treatment is delayed, parts of the brain can get permanently damaged. That’s why it’s important to recognize warning signs like sudden weakness in the body, slurred speech, or a drooping face, and rush to a hospital immediately. The earlier the treatment, the better the chances of full recovery.
A New Hope in Brain Care
Neuro-intervention is changing how we treat brain conditions. More hospitals in India are adopting this technology, giving patients better and safer options. Whether it is stroke, aneurysm, or other brain vessel problems, many can now be treated without the fear of brain surgery.
The goal of modern brain care is not just to treat effectively, but to do it in a way that is easier on the patient. Thanks to neuro-intervention, we can now treat the brain without cutting into it, giving patients a faster return to normal life, and a future full of possibilities.

Surgery Restores Homemaker’s Life from Rare Jaw Infection
From Social Isolation to Confidence: Surgery Restores Life of a Homemaker with Rare Jaw Infection
Bhubaneswar, 11th July 2025: In her 50s, Ms. Geeta Rani , was leading a vibrant, healthy, and happy life. Hailing from Bhubaneswar, she spent most of her life fulfilling her role as a homemaker and caring for her family. However, life took an unexpected turn when her health ordeal started to disrupt the peace of her life, with a COVID-19 diagnosis, followed by Mucormycosis (black fungus infection), for which she had to undergo surgery. Just when it all seemed to be in the past, Ms. Geeta started having another health problem – a persistent pus discharge from her upper jaw, accompanied by severe bad breath, pain, and weakness.
Her condition deteriorated to the point where she could no longer manage her daily chores and was isolated completely. Even friends and close relatives avoided contact and stopped visiting her condition. The family, without wasting time, visited Manipal Hospital Bhubaneswar and consulted with Dr. Harsh Mohan Pathak, Consultant – Dental Medicine and Maxillo-Facial Surgery, who was quick to identify the problem. On evaluation, it was revealed that the upper jawbone (left maxilla) had been completely destroyed by chronic infection, with pus draining from the maxilla and maxillary sinus. She also developed haemolytic anaemia, a condition where the body mistakenly attacks its own red blood cells, causing premature death of RBCs (red blood cells) and leading to critically low haemoglobin levels. This made her condition even more critical and challenging for doctors to carry out a decisive plan, which was the need of the hour.
Despite the complexity, Dr. Pathak and his team devised a precise surgical plan. A complete left-sided maxillectomy, followed by debridement, was performed to remove the diseased jawbone and clear the infection. The surgery was especially high-risk, and meticulous care was taken at every step. To restore both function and appearance, a buccal (cheek) issue was used to reconstruct and cover the surgical area and promote healing.
Dr. Harsh Mohan Pathak noted, “This case was exceptionally rare and challenging, as we had to consider multiple systemic challenges, including hemolytic anaemia and post-mucormycosis complications. However, with careful planning and surgical precision, we were able to restore her function and quality of life.”
Postoperatively, Ms. Geeta had an uneventful recovery. Not only did her chronic infection resolve, but she could also speak and enjoy her meals normally, participating in family gatherings without discomfort. Her transformation was so profound that she described it as having “the monster removed from the jaw”.

Hyderabad: 10th July 2025: CREDAI, the Confederation of Real Estate Developers’ Associations of India, the country’s apex body of private real estate developers, announced the CREDAI Hyderabad Property Show, to be held from 15th to 17th August 2025 at HITEX Exhibition Centre. The theme of this year’s edition is ‘Choice is Yours’ — a powerful message that reflects the commitment to empowering homebuyers. The announcement was made in the presence of the CREDAI Hyderabad senior leadership team, comprising Mr. N Jaideep Reddy, President; Mr. B Jagannath Rao, President-Elect; Mr. K Kranti Kiran Reddy, General Secretary; Mr. Kurra Srinath, Convener; and Mr. Aravind Rao Mechineni, Co-convener for the property show, along with other office bearers, Mr. Manoj Kumar Agarwal, Mr. K. Anil Reddy, and Mr. Y. Ravi Prasad, Vice Presidents; Mr. Nitish Reddy Gudoor, Treasurer; and Mr. Sanjay Kumar Bansal and Mr. Sriram Musunuru, Joint Secretaries. The event was also graced by the Managing Committee members namely Mr. Susheel Kumar Jain, Mr. B. Jaipal Reddy, Mr. A. Venkat Reddy, Mr. C. Amarendher Reddy, Mr. B. Vinod Reddy, Mr. N. Venugopal, Mrs. Kavya Kavuri, Mr. Addula Gopal Reddy, EC Members, Mr. M. Nanda Kishore, Mr. Shrawan Kumar Gone, Mr. Piyush Agarwal, Mrs. Aishwarya, and Mr. R. Suresh Kumar.
CREDAI Hyderabad believes it’s time to debunk the myths around real estate and bring clarity, facts, and real opportunities to the forefront. The Property Show will be a one-stop solution offering homebuyers only RERA-approved projects from CREDAI Member Developers, ensuring the showcase of the most trustworthy properties under one roof. At the property show, the best projects in the city, featuring Apartment complexes, Villas, Plots, and Commercial Spaces across the length and breadth of the city of Hyderabad, will be on display.
Mr. N Jaideep Reddy, President, CREDAI Hyderabad, said, “Hyderabad’s real estate market continues to show a strong and positive outlook, backed by stable growth, consistent demand, and rising buyer confidence. In the month of May 2025 alone, property registrations crossed ₹4,300 crores, registering a 14% YoY growth. This strength is rooted in the city’s growing employment hubs, investor-friendly climate, and robust infrastructure. The future looks even stronger, with the city projected to add 200 million sq. ft. of office stock by 2030, driven by strong demand from global firms. The state government in the last budget announced major investments for the development of the city infrastructure, like the metro rail expansion, construction of elevated corridors, etc., set to reshape connectivity. Once all those projects are initiated on the ground in this financial year, the city will get a massive infrastructure upgrade and be ready for the future. The city is continuing to attract investments from major global corporations, ensuring consistent growth in job creation and demand for housing. The city is witnessing new project launches, with many new projects providing 50+ stories, highlighting confidence in the market. Moreover, the cut in the repo rates announced in the recent fiscal policy review by RBI will make home loans cheaper for homebuyers and should encourage them to purchase their dream homes without delay. In my opinion, this is the best time to purchase a property in the city and invest in the future, as the property prices are on the cusp of a rapid increase very soon.”
According to Mr. B. Jagannath Rao, President-Elect of CREDAI Hyderabad, “Hyderabad has established itself as a true Global City and has shown remarkable resilience through the business cycles. Hyderabad is attracting investments from a broad spectrum of industries, including IT, Manufacturing, Pharma and Life Sciences, EV, and Defence, etc., due to its state-of-the-art infrastructure, pleasant climate, availability of a talented workforce, business-friendly policies, and secure environment. In spite of the global turmoil, the city is acting as a preferred destination for global investors, and the sentiment in the city is positive. It is a good time to pick up a property in the city.”
Speaking about the Property Show, Mr. Kurra Srinath, Convenor CREDAI Hyderabad, said, “This year’s show is more than a real estate exhibition — it’s a celebration of choice, trust, and community. With over 70 reputed CREDAI developers under one roof, we bring you not just homes, but credibility and peace of mind. From affordable apartments to luxury villas, under-construction projects to ready-to-move-in homes — the choices are endless, and the decision is yours. We’ve also curated a vibrant cultural experience for families with live performances, energetic concerts, expert sessions, and food stalls. Hyderabad isn’t just growing — it’s evolving into a smarter, more connected city. Why spend weekends hopping from one site to another when the city’s best projects are all in one place? Visit the CREDAI Hyderabad Property Show from August 15–17 at HITEX, Hall 1 & 3. The Choice is Yours — but only if you show up. Step in, explore, and walk out one step closer to your dream home.”

Tata Trusts Pushes Early Cervical Cancer Screening
Bengaluru, 10th July 2025: Sometimes, one of the hardest battles a woman fights is the one with herself – the doubt, silence, and hesitation to put herself first. Tata Trusts’ public health awareness campaign, ‘Khud Se Jeet,’ captures this quiet conflict, urging women to seek timely cervical cancer screening and take charge of their health.
Cervical cancer is the second most common cancer among Indian women, claiming nearly 75,000 lives each year—often due to late detection. Despite being highly treatable in its early stages, with 95% of cases successfully managed if caught early, many women do not get screened in time. Millions of women continue overlooking symptoms – either due to a significant lack of awareness about cervical cancer and its symptoms, or fear, stigma, and a culture of silence that contributes to delayed screening.
Tata Trusts’ years of grassroots engagement – including by conducting over 26,000 cervical cancer screenings across Jharkhand, Andhra Pradesh, Odisha, and Maharashtra in the last year, in collaboration with state governments and partners – has uncovered deep insights, revealing emotional and societal barriers that keep women from seeking help, even when it’s available. Through its public health awareness initiatives, the Trusts aims to prompt women to replace hesitation with action.
To spearhead awareness, Tata Trusts hosted a panel discussion, bringing together leading experts from oncology, psycho-oncology, and patient support to illustrate the problem, barriers to screening, key steps, and explore how we can change the conversation on cervical cancer in India. The session featured Dr Gauravi Mishra, Deputy Director, Center for Cancer Epidemiology, Tata Memorial Centre; Dr. Savita Goswami, Psycho-Oncologist at Tata Memorial Hospital; and Vandana Gupta, cancer survivor and founder of V Care Foundation.
The session was moderated by Dr Rudradatta Shrotriya, Head Medical Operations, Tata Cancer Care Foundation, who commented, “Cervical cancer’s projected burden in India stands at 1.5 million Disability-Adjusted Life Years (DALYs), with the highest impact among women aged 30–65 in segments with the lowest awareness and access. The key challenges remain low awareness and inhibition: women who experience early symptoms do not connect them to cervical cancer, and those who do may delay action due to shame or fear. Many also are unaware that risk can exist even in the absence of symptoms, which makes screening vital. By raising awareness and taking steps to change the conversation around cervical cancer, we hope to foster a culture where women feel empowered to prioritize their health.”
Tata Trusts also unveiled a social awareness film, highlighting a woman’s inner conflict and journey through self-doubt, denial, and hesitation to a moment of transformation, where she chooses to pay attention to her symptoms and seek screening. By amplifying such narratives, the Trusts’ aim to inspire more women to listen to their bodies and prioritize their health.
Discussing this, Shilpi Ghosh, Communications Specialist, Tata Trusts, said, “Khud Se Jeet was born from listening to women — their silence, their fears, their hesitation. Cervical cancer isn’t just a medical issue; it’s an emotional one, hidden in whispers and what-ifs. We realized that lack of access isn’t the only hurdle; there is also the doubt that tells a woman not to act, speak, or put herself first. This campaign is our attempt to give her that nudge, to say: you matter, your health matters.

Mumbai, 10th July 2025 – With a legacy of over two decades in delivering several landmark projects, Peninsula Land Limited, part of the Ashok Piramal Group, is now charting a new phase of growth, anchored by a strong commitment to plotted developments. The company has recently acquired two prime land parcels in Sogaon, Alibaug (11 acres) and Bhilawale, Karjat (~29 acres), marking a significant expansion of its footprint in high-potential micro-markets fuelled by increased connectivity and thereby a surge in demand for buying land within a short drive time from Mumbai.
The company had recently set up an INR 765 crore Real Estate development platform through an equity partnership with investors, Alpha Alternatives and Delta Corp, a milestone that signalled renewed investor confidence and a robust, future-ready pipeline.
Rajeev Piramal, Chief Executive Officer and Managing Director of Peninsula Land Limited, said: “This marks the first deployment of capital from our real estate platform and represents a focused commitment to growing our plotted development business. These projects reflect our belief in land as a timeless asset class. Our objective is to simplify land ownership by removing traditional barriers—whether it is ambiguous titles, counter-party risk, or poor infrastructure.”
While the plotted development space is heating up nationally, this is not uncharted territory for Peninsula Land. The company launched AshokVann in Pune in 2023, offering 321 plots, followed by AshokVistas in 2025, which featured 125 plots and received an overwhelming response—with nearly all inventory sold out on Day 1. These successes underscore the strong demand for quality plotted developments from trusted corporate developers. In addition to Pune, Peninsula Land has its plotted land portfolio across Nashik, Goa, and Lonavala, reinforcing its commitment to developing high-potential land destinations that align with lifestyle aspirations and future growth corridors.
The upcoming projects in Alibaug and Karjat are poised to offer buyers more than just land. Designed as premium plotted communities, they will feature modern infrastructure, curated amenities, and a secure living environment—elements rarely seen in standalone land transactions. These plots are targeted toward investors, second-home buyers, and urban families seeking a long-term lifestyle upgrade or a luxury getaway.
What sets these projects apart is the backing of a corporate developer, which brings the advantages of trust, transparency, and clear title—critical considerations for land buyers in a market often plagued by uncertainty. Peninsula Land’s institutional approach ensures rigorous due diligence, legal clarity, and structured delivery—offering peace of mind that standalone or informal land transactions often lack.
This vision aligns well with the ongoing infrastructure transformation in key regions. The Mumbai Trans Harbour Link (Atal Setu), upcoming Navi Mumbai International Airport, enhanced railway access, and a host of infrastructure projects are rapidly transforming Alibaug and Karjat into high-growth micro-markets. As accessibility improves, these regions are becoming increasingly attractive for Mumbai-based buyers, NRIs, and outstation investors looking for early-mover opportunities and capital appreciation.
With festive season launches in the pipeline, Peninsula Land is gearing up for a defining new chapter—rooted in legacy but shaped by forward-thinking vision. Its plotted development vertical is poised to be a core pillar of growth, bringing together the timeless value of land ownership with the trust, scale, and reliability of a corporate brand.
