Woman Gives Birth On Vegetable Cart, Outside Haryana Hospital, In Bitter Cold

Woman Gives Birth On Vegetable Cart, Outside Haryana Hospital, In Bitter Cold

by | Jan 10, 2024 | top-stories


The woman finally gave birth out in the open, on the street near the hospital gates.

A woman gave birth to a baby on a vegetable cart on the premises of the government-run district hospital in Haryana’s Ambala yesterday after the doctors allegedly refused to pay attention to her husband’s repeated requests for help. The baby was born out of doors on one this winter’s coldest evenings.

“It was God who saved them,” her husband said. “I considered doctors and hospital staff as God. But after last night’s events, I have lost faith in these hospital staff,” he added.

The man — a resident of Dappar, a city in Punjab’s Mohali district– had been running from pillar to post after managing to bring his pregnant wife to the hospital. But no one was ready even to bring a stretcher for her, he said.

The woman finally gave birth out in the open, on the street near the hospital gates.

There was panic in the hospital as the news spread and the mother and child were finally taken inside and installed in a ward.

The matter has also been reported to state health minister Anil Vij, who said there will be a thorough investigation and the guilty will be punished.

“This information has to be checked. We provide ambulances and free delivery service. So whether they were informed or not – I will get everything investigated. If there has been any negligence, action will be taken,” Mr Vij said.

The hospital authorities say they have formed a committee to investigate the issue. The report will be available in a couple of days, said Sangeeta Singla, the Principal Medical Officer of the city’s Civil Hospital.

Asked what action will be taken, she said, “We will give them a warning. Why the special case was not checked. If the patient was in such a state that she delivered on arrival, the staff on duty — doctors, nurses — should have been there to attend to her,” she told reporters.

Paris:

2023 was the hottest year on record, with Earth’s surface nearly breaching the critical limit of 1.5 degrees Celsius above late 19th century temperatures, the EU climate monitoring service said Tuesday. 

“It is also the first year with all days over one degree warmer than the pre-industrial period,” said Samantha Burgess, deputy head of the Copernicus Climate Change Service (C3S). “Temperatures during 2023 likely exceed those of any period in at least the last 100,000 years.”

New Delhi:

Oppenheimer and Succession ruled the 81st Golden Globes which kickstarted the Hollywood award season for this year. Christopher Nolan won Best Director for Oppenheimer with two big acting awards – Cillian Murphy took Best Film Actor (Drama) and Robert Downey Jr took Best Supporting Actor (Film) for their performances as Robert Oppenheimer and Lewis Strauss in the film. RDJ’s category included Ryan Gosling who played Ken in Barbie – Barbie and Oppenheimer clashed at the global box office with tremendous results last year. In what might be a surprise twist to some, Poor Things beat out Barbie as Best Film (Musical/Comedy) with Emma Stone winning Best Film Actress (Musical/Comedy).  The Holdovers stars Paul Giamatti and Da’Vine Randolph won Best Actor (Musical/Comedy) and Best Supporting Actress in the film category. Lily Gladstone won Best Film Actress (Drama) for Killers Of The Flower Moon.

The answer to which Succession character would be triumph in the Best TV Actor (Drama) category is – Roman Roy, played by Kieran Culkin. Co-stars Sarah Snook and Matthew Macfadyen won Best TV Actress (Drama) and Best Supporting Actor (TV). Succession also won Best Series (Drama).

Beef swept the Limited Series, Anthology or TV Movie categories winning best series as well as Best Actress and Best Actor for Ali Wong and Steven Yeun.

Jeremy Allen White won Best TV Actor (Musical/Comedy) for The Bear second year in a row; co-star Ayo Edebiri won Best TV Actress (Musical/Comedy). The Bear also won Best Series (Musical/Comedy).

The Barbenheimer effect spilled over to the Golden Globes nominee slate with nine nominations for Barbie and eight for Oppenheimer. Killers Of The Flower Moon and Poor Things received seven nods each. Succession headed the list of TV nominations with nine followed by The Bear and Only Murders In The Building at five each.

The Golden Globes returns this year under new ownership after some fraught years of criticism and boycott of the Hollywood Foreign Press Association that used to present the awards. The Globes are now owned by the production company that has produced and broadcast the show for decades. The Golden Globes, hosted by comedian Jo Koy, have introduced two new categories this year – Cinematic and Box Office Achievement and Best Performance in Stand Up Comedy on TV.

“If They Lose One Game…”: Sourav Ganguly’s Blunt Verdict On India’s Tour Of South Africa | Cricket News

“If They Lose One Game…”: Sourav Ganguly’s Blunt Verdict On India’s Tour Of South Africa | Cricket News

The Indian cricket team came under immense criticism after their loss in the first Test match against South Africa but the Rohit Sharma-led side made a brilliant recovery after winning the second match within two days in Cape Town. Earlier, the T20I series ended 1-1 after the first match was washed out while India were victorious in the ODI series. Former skipper Sourav Ganguly believes that a loss does not change the fact that India are a great team and he was happy with their performance in South Africa.

“India is a great team. If they lose one game, people talk as if the entire team is bad. A win in the ODI series, 1-1 in T20Is and 1-1 in Tests. What else? They are a very good side,” Ganguly told reporters.

Meanwhile, Ravichandran Ashwin rebutted former England captain Michael Vaughan‘s claim of India being an “underachieving team”, saying they have been one of the best travelling sides in contemporary cricket.

During a panel discussion in Fox Sports recently, Vaughan had said the Indian cricket team should have achieved more on the field, particularly in the ICC events, considering the resources at their disposal.

“Michael Vaughan recently made a statement that the Indian team is underachievers. Yes, we haven’t won an ICC trophy in a while, and we call ourselves the powerhouse of the game. But that’s just one side of the coin,” Ashwin said in his YouTube channel.

The 37-year-old said India have produced excellent results, especially in Test cricket, around the world in the last few years.

“Our Test team has been one of the best travelling teams at present. We have seen many great results. After Vaughan made that statement, so many experts from our own country started debating if India is an underachieving team. Frankly, it made me laugh,” he said.

5-Year-Old Youngest In World To Undergo Successful “Awake” Brain Surgery

5-Year-Old Youngest In World To Undergo Successful “Awake” Brain Surgery

by | Jan 6, 2024 | top-stories


The girl happens to be the youngest child in the world to undergo successful brain tumour surgery

New Delhi:

Doctors at AIIMS, Delhi, successfully performed a brain tumour surgery on a five-year-old girl while keeping her in a conscious state during the operation with the hospital claiming that she was the youngest patient in the world to undergo such a procedure.

The procedure termed as ‘awake craniotomy’ (conscious sedation technique) surgery for left perisylvian intraaxial brain tumour was performed on January 4, AIIMS said in a statement.

The child presented with a history of seizures and her brain MRI was done which showed a tumour in the left side of her brain adjacent to speech/language area, it said.

The surgery lasted three hours, including time taken for giving local anaesthesia to the child by neuroanaesthetists.

The tumour was removed successfully by a team of neurosurgeons as she remained conscious throughout the procedure.

“Technological adjuncts viz preoperative functional MRI brain, intraoperative ultrasonography, neuronavigation were used to localise tumour precisely during resection while mapping of functional areas was being carried out under awake conditions. Ice cold saline was used for the brain surface to prevent any seizures during the procedure,” the statement said.

“The child is doing well and will be sent home on Monday,” it said.

A long discussion was held between team members, patient’s family and the child before taking a decision to go ahead with the surgery. They were counselled at length on steps of procedure, it stated.

She was shown common objects, common animals and given some tasks for language and sensorimotor assessments before surgery, which were repeated during the surgical procedure also.

She is a first standard student and was quick in identifying the picture of Prime Minister Narendra Modi during the surgery, the statement said.

“Awake surgeries for brain tumours are done for maximising tumour removals and minimising neurological deficits usually. During awake craniotomy, patients should feel a minimum level of pain while being completely able to cooperate in neurological tests,” it said.

“Although this method is called awake craniotomy, this method requires even more collaboration in perfect harmony of the surgical and anaesthesia teams than other operations under general anaesthesia said,” Dr Deepak Gupta, Professor of Neurosurgery who performed this operation with his team with neuroanesthesia team led by Dr Mihir Pandia and Dr Gyanendra Pal Singh.

“Akshita happens to be the youngest child in the world to undergo successful brain tumour surgery under awake conditions at this age at AIIMS, Delhi,” Dr Gupta said.
