September 5, 2025: As India observes National Nutrition Week, Tata Motors is also making significant strides in advancing community healthcare across the country through its Aarogya Programme. The programme adopts a three-pronged approach focused on addressing child malnutrition, enhancing heath awareness among women and adolescents, and delivering both preventive and curative healthcare services.

In FY 24-25, Aarogya reached nearly 6.66 lakh beneficiaries, achieving 87% recovery among malnourished children and an 80% reduction in anaemia among women. These outcomes underscore Tata Motors’ commitment to harnessing the power of early health and nutrition interventions and its long-lasting impact across communities.

Operating in regions with critical healthcare needs, including rural communities and urban slums across Jamshedpur, Pune, Pantnagar, Dharwad, Lucknow, Sanand, and Mumbai – the Aarogya programme has delivered measurable improvements by making nutrition, health awareness, and preventive and curative services accessible to those who need them most.

In Jamshedpur, Aarogya has positively impacted nearly 3 lakh community members across East Singhbhum district and its remote areas. Recognising the unique challenges faced by the urban underserved communities, Tata Motors extended its efforts through Project Aarogyasampanna in the slums of Trombay, suburban Mumbai, significantly reducing the instances of severe malnutrition among children by an impressive 90%. Building on this momentum in FY’25, Tata Motors launched Project Addressing Malnutrition in Sanand, enabling 506 severely malnourished children to receive targeted care and achieving 88% recovery rate.

Speaking on the impact of Aarogya, Vinod Kulkarni, CSR Head, Tata Motors, said, “At Tata Motors, we view nutrition as a cornerstone of resilience and a critical enabler across the human life cycle. Through our Aarogya programme, we are addressing child malnutrition and maternal health with a holistic, community-driven model that strengthens long-term well-being. Anchored in our strategic CSR framework and enabled through convergence with government initiatives, partners, and local communities, Aarogya reflects our commitment to creating scalable and sustainable health outcomes. The positive impact we witness inspires us to continue advancing national priorities such as Poshan Abhiyaan while fostering a healthier and more equitable India.”

When we think of premature aging, our minds immediately jump to sunlight and UV rays — and rightly so. Sun exposure is the single biggest external factor behind wrinkles, pigmentation, and sagging skin. But what most people don’t realize is that there are several everyday habits and environmental triggers that quietly accelerate skin aging, sometimes faster than the sun itself. These hidden culprits don’t always get the same attention, but their long-term effects on your skin’s health and appearance can be profound.

1. Blue Light from Screens

We live opposite screens. From smartphones to laptops, our exposure to blue light is constant. Research shows that prolonged exposure to high-energy visible (HEV) light can penetrate deeper into the skin than UV rays, leading to oxidative stress, pigmentation, and collagen breakdown. Over time, this contributes to fine lines and uneven skin tone, especially on areas like the face and neck that are closest to the screen.

2. Air Pollution

City living comes with invisible consequences for your skin. Pollutants such as particulate matter, smoke, and dust create free radicals that damage the skin barrier, leading to dullness, loss of elasticity, and premature wrinkles. In fact, pollution is now recognized as a leading cause of hyperpigmentation and skin sensitivity, often rivaling the effects of sun damage.

3. Chronic Stress

Stress is more than a mental burden; it shows on your skin. Elevated cortisol levels impair collagen production and slow down skin repair. Stress can also worsen conditions like acne, eczema, and psoriasis, which accelerate visible aging. The impact may not be immediate, but over years, stress-induced changes can make skin look older and more fatigued.

4. Sleep Deprivation

Beauty sleep is not a myth. During deep sleep, the skin undergoes repair and regeneration. Lack of sufficient rest disrupts this natural process, causing fine lines, puffy eyes, and a dull complexion. Chronic sleep deprivation reduces skin elasticity and resilience, making wrinkles more pronounced over time.

5. Excessive Sugar and Processed Foods

Your diet plays as much a role in skin aging as your skincare routine. Diets high in sugar and refined carbs trigger a process called glycation, where sugar molecules attach to proteins like collagen and elastin, weakening them. This leads to sagging skin, stiffness, and loss of youthful firmness. Processed foods also increase inflammation, another key driver of premature aging.

6. Alcohol Consumption

Alcohol may feel harmless in moderation, but excessive or regular intake dehydrates the skin and depletes essential nutrients like vitamin A. This leads to dullness, enlarged pores, and loss of elasticity. Over years, it accelerates the development of fine lines and broken blood vessels, making the skin appear older than it is.

7. Unmanaged Skincare Routines

Ironically, one of the biggest skin agers is misuse of skincare products. Over-exfoliation, harsh cleansers, or inappropriate use of active ingredients like retinoids and acids can strip the skin barrier, leading to sensitivity, redness, and accelerated aging. A “more is better” approach to skincare often backfires, creating long-term damage instead of benefits.

The Bigger Picture

Premature aging is rarely the result of one factor. It’s a combination of lifestyle, environment, and habits that slowly take a toll. While sun protection remains the cornerstone of anti-aging, addressing these hidden culprits is equally important. Small changes — like using blue light filters, eating a balanced diet, prioritizing sleep, and adopting a simple, consistent skincare routine — can make a visible difference in how your skin ages.

Ultimately, the goal isn’t to chase eternal youth but to preserve skin health and confidence as we grow older. Understanding these lesser-known aging accelerators helps us make informed choices that go far beyond sunscreen, keeping the skin resilient, radiant, and naturally youthful for years to come.

P. D. Hinduja Hospital & Medical Research Centre Launches First-of-its-Kind Dedicated Geriatric Clinic on World Senior Citizen’s Day 2025

Mumbai, August 22, 2025: On the occasion of World Senior Citizen’s Day 2025, P. D.

Pain is often our body’s first alarm—an instinctive signal that something needs attention. Yet not all pain is loud or immediate. Some discomfort builds slowly, quietly embedding itself into our daily lives. It’s easy to dismiss a dull ache as a result of overexertion, or write off persistent stiffness as part of aging or stress. But occasionally, these seemingly minor issues may point to something more serious.

One such condition is bone cancer—a rare but aggressive disease that often begins with subtle, easily overlooked symptoms. A persistent limp, unexplained fatigue, or a lingering ache that doesn’t respond to rest could be the earliest clues. These quiet hints, though easy to ignore, deserve closer attention—especially when they refuse to fade.

Why Some People Face a Higher Risk

Bone cancer can affect anyone, but certain factors increase vulnerability. In children and young adults, rare genetic conditions like Li-Fraumeni syndrome, hereditary retinoblastoma, or Rothmund-Thomson syndrome can silently elevate the risk. These disorders are uncommon but require consistent medical oversight to catch potential issues early.

Previous exposure to radiation, especially during childhood, can also heighten the risk of bone cancer years later. The bones may carry the memory of this exposure long after it seems forgotten. In older adults, benign conditions like Paget’s disease or multiple enchondromas can, in rare cases, become cancerous, necessitating regular monitoring to detect changes before they progress.

Benign vs. Malignant: Knowing the Difference

Understanding bone cancer requires distinguishing it from benign growths. For example, fibroids—non-cancerous tumors—typically form in soft tissues like the uterus and pose little threat. In contrast, malignant bone tumors, such as osteosarcoma or chondrosarcoma, are far more serious and require immediate attention. This distinction is critical, as persistent bone-related symptoms, unlike benign conditions, may signal a need for urgent medical evaluation to rule out cancer.

Warning Signs You Shouldn’t Ignore

In its early stages, bone cancer often feels like a minor inconvenience. A deep, persistent ache that doesn’t ease with rest or pain relievers is a frequent starting point. This discomfort may flare up at night or seem unusually intense for a recent activity. As the condition advances, the pain can grow, limiting mobility or disrupting daily routines.

Other signs include swelling near a joint, difficulty walking or lifting, or a limp that persists without explanation. In some cases, bones may fracture with minimal impact—a red flag, particularly in younger individuals. Subtle systemic symptoms, such as fatigue, mild fever, or unintended weight loss, may also creep in, often so gradually they’re easy to overlook.

Persistent or worsening symptoms should prompt swift action. These are not normal aches and deserve medical scrutiny.

The Power of Early Detection

Catching bone cancer early, when it’s still confined to the bone, opens up more treatment options. Surgery, chemotherapy, or limb-sparing techniques can target the disease while preserving function. If the cancer spreads, treatment becomes more complex, often requiring aggressive interventions that may affect mobility or quality of life.

Diagnosis typically involves imaging tools like X-rays, MRI scans, or CT scans, followed by a biopsy to confirm the condition. But the process starts with recognizing something isn’t right and seeking answers promptly.

Clues Beyond the Doctor’s Office

Bone cancer often first appears in everyday settings—a child who limps longer than expected, a young athlete struggling through practice, or an older adult finding routine tasks painful. These signs may emerge at home, on the playground, or during a workout. Awareness in these spaces, from parents, teachers, or peers, can spark the early action needed to investigate further.

Early Awareness, Lifesaving Impact

Though rare, bone cancer can have profound effects if ignored. Its early signs are often subtle, blending into the background of minor injuries or fatigue. Unlike benign tumors, which may need only routine care, malignant bone tumors require urgent intervention. Knowing the difference and acting quickly can change the course of the disease.

By tuning into the body’s quiet signals—lingering pain, swelling, or restricted movement—and seeking medical advice early, we can catch bone cancer before it gains ground. Acting on these unseen clues can lead to timely treatment and, in many cases, save lives.

Mumbai, India, 25 July 2025: In a move that introduces a new way that fertility care may be accessed in India, Indira IVF Hospital Limited has introduced the ‘IVF Success Calculator’ — a digital tool that offers personalised estimates of IVF success rates and the number of cycles potentially required, based on an individual’s medical data. Launched on the occasion of World IVF Day, the calculator is designed to empower aspiring parents with clarity even before their first consultation. This innovation is another step towards achieving optimal patient outcomes by offering guidance at the earliest stage of the journey. The calculator is free to use, fully confidential, and available online, making it accessible to individuals across geographies and backgrounds.

This calculator analyses key medical inputs and, within a few minutes, generates a downloadable report that outlines success probabilities while also highlighting potential fertility concerns such as PCOS or abnormal sperm morphology. It offers early treatment considerations along with general lifestyle recommendations. The IVF Success Calculator allows users to manually enter key medical details, including AMH values, sperm count and motility or upload existing reports to receive a personalised success estimate, delivered securely in a few minutes.

Speaking about the launch, Dr. Kshitiz Murdia, CEO and Whole-Time Director, Indira IVF, said “The IVF Success Calculator offers individuals a way to understand their likelihood of success based on their key medical details, and allows them to begin the process with a sense of direction rather than uncertainty. As part of our continued focus on innovation, we see this technology as a way to bridge the information gap that often exists at the start of the journey”

The calculator’s predictions present projected success rates across one, two, and three IVF cycles. This may help individuals make informed decisions with greater clarity and confidence at every stage of their journey.

Mr. Nitiz Murdia, Managing Director, Indira IVF, added, “Many individuals approach IVF with a limited understanding of what their treatment path might involve, often relying on generalised information that does not reflect their specific medical circumstances. The IVF Success Calculator offers a personalised view, helping couples see what is medically realistic for them before they begin. It encourages timely decision-making, reduces hesitation, and supports a more informed approach to treatment. This initiative is part of our broader vision to ensure awareness, accessibility and reliability for the patients.”

With over 165 clinics across the country and more than 1.75 lakh IVF pregnancies, Indira IVF continues to expand its efforts to make fertility care more reliable and accessible to patients across geographies. The IVF Success Calculator is now live on the Indira IVF website and is can serve as an important first step for individuals as they begin their journey toward parenthood.

Pune, 25th July 2025: A 13-year-old child who fell from the fifth floor of a residential building and was taken to the hospital with severed injury and unconscious state was successfully saved by doctors at Manipal Hospital, Kharadi. The child had sustained severe injury to the entire left side of his body, including fractures in the Femur (Thigh bone), hand, foot, pelvis, internal bleeding and spinal injury. His blood pressure on arrival was 50mmhg and his hemoglobin level was critically low at 5g/dL.

To check for any interior damage, imaging took place. Because the child was moving his limbs, unsafe blood pressure seemed to indicate a spinal injury, but head damage did not seem severe enough to necessitate brain surgery. The boy experienced a series of surgical treatments over the span of the next three days, including separate procedures for the pelvis and the feet, then separate spine surgery, separate long bone fixation for the femur, Humerus fracture, Elbow fracture and wound debridement as the final major procedure. To reduce the risk of bleeding and infection, drainage treatments were also carried out.

The patient was under treatment of pediatric intensive care unit under Dr. Rohan Chougule, Consultant – Pediatrics. Spine stabilization was led by Dr. Mohit Mutha, Consultant – Spine Surgery, while Dr. Manoj Pawar, Consultant – Pulmonology, assisted in managing respiratory stability in the ICU.

Mr. Parmeswar Das, Director, Manipal Hospital, Kharadi, Pune said, “This is a case example of the preparation and excellence of our trauma and emergency team. The severely injured child’s successful recovery from his tragic fall is evidence of our hospital’s dedication to providing excellent multidisciplinary treatment and quick emergency response.”
