VIDEO | Nagpur: On cough syrup-linked deaths, Consultant Nephrologist and Kidney Transplant Physician Dr. Pranaw Kumar Jha (@docpranaw) said, "It is a very sad incident that has happened, and as it is coming in the news, these patients were children who had a cough, for which they consumed cough syrup, and then the tragedy happened. Basically, in these cough syrups, substances like glycerol are used, which are non-toxic, to sweeten them and make them a little thick. But in this particular cough syrup, there were toxins like diethylene glycol and ethylene glycol, which give same properties to the syrup but are toxic. These toxic substances especially affect the kidneys, cause kidney failure, and can unfortunately lead to death."

VIDEO | World Health Day: On Kidney transplantation, Nephrologist and Transplant Physician Dr Pranaw Kumar Jha says, "Kidney transplantation happens in two ways - a living donor transplant and a deceased donor transplant... It’s important to promote awareness of organ donation, especially among the youth, so that this knowledge spreads from an early age."

In India, wrong-side driving is rarely punished—either the police don't notice, or they take a bribe and let it go.
When crimes go unchecked for too long, they become habits or even entitlements. Applies to wrong-side driving as well—offenders feel so entitled that confronting them leads to arguments and abuse.
Kuldeep Thakur, the driver, had multiple challans for wrong-side driving. Had he been jailed for the first offense for a year or so, this tragedy might have been avoided. Even this time, he was released on bail the same day!
Shri @nitin_gadkari, there are various technologies available to curb wrong-side driving or to warn other drivers, such as radar, infrared, flashing lights, sign boards, radio warnings, etc. Can we think of this as priority?

💥Biopsy-proven acute rejection (BPAR) was significantly less frequent in the thymoglobulin group than in the no-induction (5.3% vs. 17.5%; P = 0.0051) or basiliximab (5.3% vs. 18.8%; P= 0.0054) group.
💥In a low-risk haplomatch, related, living-donor kidney transplant on tacrolimus, mycophenolate mofetil, and prednisolone, BPAR was significantly lower with thymoglobulin as opposed to no induction or basiliximab induction with a similar short-term patient and death-censored graft survival and infection rates. Basiliximab did not provide any benefit over no induction. indianjnephrol.org/role-of-i…

Leave alone the term influencer, even social media did not exist back then. But every medical student in Mumbai in the late 1980s and 1990s and till 2000s knew what "Cassette Clinics in Surgery" was. His audio cassettes were model case presentation templates.
Dr Ghanashyam M Vaidya a gold medalist in Surgery and alumnus of GSMC Mumbai served the rural population of Karnataka for four decades as an able surgeon and administrator of the Karnataka Health Institute Ghataprabha.
Today was saddened to know about his demise.
Shraddhanjali to him
Om Shanti!
