Smokers at high risk of aortic aneurysm, Dr Ravul Jindal

Vascular surgeons discuss latest in aortic management
CME on management of aortic with latest technology held

Chandigarh, January 31
The smokers are at a higher risk of falling prey to aortic aneurysm, than their non-smoker counterparts. This debilitating disease targets men 5 to 10 times more often than women.
Dr Ravul Jindal, Head, Vascular & Endovascular Surgery, Fortis Mohali said this while talking to media persons on the sidelines of first ever CME on the management of Aortic with latest technology i.e. Minimal Invasive treatment for Aortic Aneurysm Endo Vascular Stenting held today.
Dr Jindal said that the diseases are usually characterized by feeling of pulsation near the navel, tenderness or pain in the abdomen or chest, back pain etc. Being above 55 years or being diabetic or having high blood pressure or hypertension or even have a family history of hypertension or using tobacco, makes one more susceptible to the disease.
Incidences of aortic aneurysms in India are on an increase due to poor lifestyle conditions, increasing western habits, smokers, hypertension and increasing life expectancy. “We may be seeing more aneurysms also because we have better diagnostic machines and we can detect it earlier,” he said.
“It is more important to identify this disease at onset as rupture of aorta may lead to death. While the incidences of Aortic Aneurysm are on an increase, contrary to this there are very few, surgeons in India who are trained to treat it,” Dr Jindal observed.
He said that to update cardiologists, cardiac surgeons, physicians, surgeons, radiologist, this CME is being held that discussed new modes of minimal invasive surgery of aortic aneurysm.
Doctors from all over India, with vast experience and experience of performing more than 100 endo vascular surgeries of aortic aneurysm, spoke on knowing more about aortic aneurysms.
Dr Hemant Desh Mukh, Head, Dept. of Radiology, KEM Hospital, Mumbai spoke on Diagnosis and Planning of Aortic Aneurysms, while Dr Ravul Jindal spoke on Endovascular Treatment of Thoracic Aortic Aneurysms.
Dr. Riza Ibrahim, Head of Dept. of Vascular and Endovascular Surgery, Kokilaben Dhirubhai Ambani Hospital, Mumbai spoke on Endovascular Treatment of Abdominal Aortic Aneurysms. Dr Jagmohan Verma, Head Cardiology Fortis Hospital Mohali spoke on Etiology, Signs, Symptoms & Clinical presentation of Aneurysms.

What is aortic aneurysm?
Aortic Aneurysm is a disease of Aorta, the largest artery in human body that originates from heart and extends down to abdomen. Aorta is responsible for supplying oxygenated blood to all parts of the body hence any disease in this artery can be life threatening for the patient.
Aortic Aneurysm is swelling in aorta, usually representing an underlying weakness in wall of aorta at that location. While stretched vessel may occasionally cause discomfort, a greater concern is risk of rupture.
If the dilation in aorta ruptures, it causes severe pain and massive internal bleeding. As Aorta feeds body with oxygenated blood, any rupture in this artery can mean cease of blood supply to various parts of body including brain. Without prompt treatment, this can result into quick death.
If the aorta ruptures at home the chances of dying are more than 90% and even if the patients reaches hospital the mortality is more than 80% even with surgery. Therefore, it is Important to identify this disease before rupture and treat it.
There are various ways of managing Aortic Aneurysm including medical management and surgery. Medical management is conservative mode of treatment and is often recommended for patients with other existing diseases where surgery is not a possibility. Surgical management is high risk with aprx 10% mortality rate in abdominal aortic aneurysms and 20-30% in thoracic aneurysms and of course higher mortality if patient is old.
The new minimally invasive endovascular technique is internationally acclaimed as Gold Standard for managing aortic aneurysms in selected group of patients. Very few surgeons are actually trained in performing these procedures. Experts in management of aortic aneurysms are going to get together and go through the latest advancement in the management of this condition.

Sir Richard Hadlee lures Indians to New Zealand

CHANDIGARH, January 30
The legendary Sir Richard Hadlee is bowling for New Zealand again. Only this time, he has donned the robes of brand ambassador for his country and held out the lure of New Zealand to the denizens of the city he himself finds beautiful on his first visit. He said he made his cricket record in India and it is someone from this city who broke his record – Kapil Dev.
“I am here to talk about New Zealand as a destination. It’s a small country but a wonderful place to live. And what’s more: we have room,” is how he put it himself, speaking at a gathering of businessmen and investors at the PHD Chamber of Commerce and Industry here on Saturday. The whole team will be available for meeting with investors and aspirants on Sunday also.
He said that just as India has number one rated cricket team in the world, New Zealand is one of the world’s most alluring places to live. It’s a country of four million people and lots of open spaces.
Introducing the event, Mr Sanjeev Toora of NZ Financial Solutions and the brain behind the event said that New Zealand is a safe and secure investment destination. The event was planned in three cities. It has already taken place in New Delhi and Ludhiana.
Mr Toora said that there are already 1,20,000 immigrants of Indian origin, including professionals, businessmen and entrepreneurs happily settled in New Zealand. New Zealand Invest 2010 brings the country’s opportunities to the people of India. “This will not only educate aspiring immigrants, but also encourage a large number of individuals to make New Zealand their new home,” Mr Toora said.
Ms Tanya Kwasza of Catalyst2, a property investment strategist, projected New Zealand a safe place to live and tour. “It is a place where the police do not carry guns,” she said.
Talking about immigration opportunities, Mr Bradley So of Queen City Law firm presented various options available to investors. One very attractive option is to invest 1.5 million New Zealand dollars, which comes to nearly Rs 5 crore, in property of business and get a permanent residence with immediate family.
Mr Steven Molnar, International educator and lead trainer for Real Estate Mastery, gave a banker’s perspective. He said it was the best time to invest in the country since it has substantially recovered from the global financial crisis and the values of properties are beginning to rise again.
Another advantage of investing in New Zealand is the investment policy of the government: There are no capital gains tax, no land tax and no inheritance tax on residential property. He said that after the successful free trade agreement with China, New Zealand is working out a similar agreement with India which will open up new opportunities for trade and business with each other’s companies.

International Navi-knee conference begins at Chandigarh

Pioneer of computer navigated surgery inaugurates Navi-knee
Human eye can’t operate with precision unlike machine, says Dr Lampe

Chandigarh, January 29
Human eye is not designed to measure small differences in joint angles. Compared to this, computer can measure smallest of angles accurately and repeatedly. This fact eliminates unpredictability involved with conventional navigated knee surgery.
Pioneer of computer navigated surgery, Dr Frank Lampe from Germany said this while inaugurating the international Navi-Knee Meet 2010 that underwent here today. Speaking on role of navigation in joint replacement surgeries, he presented his patient series and results of surgery with orthopilot. Dr Lampe was of opinion that no patient should suffer just because his surgeon could not place the implant accurately.
Over thirty super specialist surgeons from all over India and abroad are participating in the conference which is designed to study the recent advancements in knee replacement surgery.
The meet started with auspicious lamp lightning wherein organizing secretary Dr Harsimran Singh consultant - orthopedics and joint replacement, Fortis Hospital, Mohali flanked Dr Frank.
Delivering keynote address Dr Harsimran outlined tremendous improvement in patient satisfaction brought in by the computer navigated knee surgery. The latest version of Computer navigation system Orthopilot 4.0 has further reduced time required for registration of intra-operative data and chances of error in system are negligible.
He added that system does not require any CT or X ray images, which eliminates need for radiation exposure to patient. The virtual planning option of system allows surgeon to plan whole surgery before actually performing bone cuts. This further enhances safety and accuracy of surgery, he said.
Tomorrow Dr Frank Lampe would speak on experience with ortho pilot navigation, Dr. Harsimran Singh will discuss challenges in navigated TKR, Dr. Vrajesh Shah from Baroda will deal with soft tissue balancing with ortho pilot, Dr. E.G. Mohan Kumar from Kerala will speak on usage of ortho pilot in TKR - Tips n Tricks and Dr. Avtar Singh from Amritsar will speak on experience of TKR with ortho pilot and guidelines for ortho pilot use.

Motivational workshop for parents at The Millennium School
Effective parenting discussed

Workshop on parenting discusses 21st century parenting
The Millennium School workshop showcases parental concerns

Over 300 participate in The Millennium School workshop
Experts hand out tips on effective parenting

Bathinda, January 24: A special motivational workshop for parents titled “The making of next generation WHIZ KIDS” was organized at Chabbra Resort by The Millennium School today. The Workshop offered a penetrating insight into the multidimensional approach towards effective parenting. The Millennium School, a first of its kind workshop shed remarkable light into the art of bringing up children through a synergized effort on part of parents and teachers. With special emphasis on optimization of endeavors on part parents and teachers alike, the workshop introduced to over 300 participating parents from Bathinda unprecedented guiding tips for effective parenting tips.
In a clear departure from the practice of having lectures and addresses at such workshops, this workshop, instead, focused upon the challenges and issues vital to parents through power packed interactive seminar.
As experts emphasized upon the importance of time spent with children as extremely crucial, the need to strengthen bonds with kids through meaningful time spending was termed as decisive. Dr Bindu Rana, a noted Child Psychologist and Head of R&D at Educomp Solutions Ltd, India's largest education company listed sharing responsibility amongst parents, establishing routine in intermingling with children, limiting time spent on TV, newspaper and social obligations were termed as essentials for healthy upbringing from parental perspective. Carving special time for kids' activities through planning and special weekends and allied gestures were discussed as major strengthening factor.
This was followed by a skit called ‘The Time Robber’ which drove home the point(nothing quite gets a message across as powerfully as a humorous skit depicting a real life situation) that the greatest gift that parents can give their children is a commitment of time. Each of the parents then actually filled out an Arrest Warrant in which they identified ways in which they will spend more time with their kids.
Accepting the fact that parenting in the 21st century is possibly one of the most challenging jobs, the two hour long workshop addressed core issues pertaining to upbringing of kids. Stressing the need for positive praise, motivation, approval and endorsement to nice works of children, the experts called for need to set personal examples through parents' conduct to be imbibed and imitated by children.
Even as multi media tools were aptly used to drive home some vital concerns, traditional modes like skit and musical presentations added upto the interest of parents who were absorbingly riveted throughout the workshop. Ms Beena Rao, Principal, The Millennium School, Bathinda said that the Millennium learning System developed by Educomp's team of over 100 educational researchers will be implemented in The Millennium School , Bathinda which is a part of countrywide chain of The Millennium Schools that would leverage Educomp's advanced learning systems.

Dr Lampe, pioneer of TKR to participate in international symposium
International, national doctors to participate in Naviknee meet 2010
Advanced knee replacement technology to be discussed at international symposium

Chandigarh, January 24
Chandigarh is hosting Naviknee 2010, an international symposium, to study recent advancements in knee replacement surgery on January 29 and January 30.
While talking to media persons today, the senior consultant orthopedician, Fortis Mohali, Dr Harsimran Singh, who is also organizing secretary of the coveted conference said, “Over thirty experts from all over India and abroad are scheduled to take part in the conference.”
Dr Harsimran said pioneer of computer navigated surgery from Germany, Dr Frank Lampe would speak on role navigation in joint replacement surgeries.
“With recent medical advancements conventional methods are replaced with innovative techniques aiming at giving maximum comfort to patient with minimum trauma and hospitalization,” he said.
Dwelling on the finer aspects of computer navigated knee replacement surgery, Dr Harsimran said that there are very few trained surgeons in India.
“Added to this, the lack of concern in general public is cause of main concern. During this conference we would aim at spreading awareness among the medical fraternity and patients at large about the technique over the old conventional method,” he said.
Elaborating more about this technique Dr Harsimran said that this procedure involves a sophisticated computer software programme that is used to calculate angles of the knee and plan absolutely correct bone cuts and size of implant. This precision totally eliminates any chance of human error, which is very much possible in old conventional method.
“This leads to faster recovery, less pain, longer life of the implant, more comfort, and no chance of re-surgery due to any human error,” he added.
He added that during conference Dr Ramesh Chandra from Hyderabad would deliver inaugural address. Dr. Avtar Singh from Amritsar will share experience of (TKR) total knee replacement with Ortho pilot, Dr. EG Mohan Kumar from Kerala would speak on usage of ortho pilot in TKR and tips n tricks by soft tissue balancing with ortho pilot by Dr. Vrajesh Shah from Baroda will be presented.

Parents get sensitized towards positive parenting

Mohali, January 23
Shemrock Senior Secondary School, sector 69 Mohali held a seminar on positive parenting for the parents having children between 3 to 8 years age group.
The school vice principal Sohal introduced key speaker at the seminar, a noted psychologist Dr Deepali Sharma who has worked with international institutions as child psychologist.

Hill dwellers more prone to blackened toes, says vascular surgeon

Ignoring blackened toes may lead to limb amputation, Dr Jindal
People from hills more prone to blackened toes, Dr Jindal
Blackened toes may lead to heart problem, Dr Jindal
Blackened toes treatable, Dr Jindal

Shimla, January 17
Ignoring blackened toes may not only lead to amputation of foot or leg, but can also cause onset of heart ailment.
Leading vascular surgeon Dr Ravul Jindal, Head of Vascular and Endovascular surgery with Fortis Hospital, Mohali, Punjab revealed while addressing media persons today.
Dr Jindal added that this peripheral arterial disease (PAD) is associated with old age, smoking, diabetes, high cholesterol and hypertension.
People living in hilly terrain are more prone to these diseases because of old age and high incidence of smoking.
“Those from hills have to walk a lot and hence develop symptoms of the disease quiet in form of pain in calf or thigh while walking. Unfortunately these diseases are not diagnosed on time and patients ultimately land up with gangrene and consequent limb amputation,” Dr Jindal added.
The incidence of diseases varies from 4-6 percent in the population aged more than 50 years. Risk factors result in blockade of blood vessels in leg resulting in loss of blood supply to foot with consequences such as infection, non healing ulcer and gangrene (blackening of toes).
Dr Jindal who has received advanced training in vascular surgical procedures from St Mary's Hospital, London adds that people suffering from PAD run two to six times greater risk of dying from heart attack or stroke as compared to others.
“If not treated on time, patients can have amputation either of foot or leg. This carries a huge morbidity and mortality as these patients also have associated heart disease,” he added. Smokers having associated diabetes are more prone for gangrene than smoking or diabetes alone.
The absence of early diagnosis worsens problem in individual. “Though there are no figures for vascular patients in country, the fact that there are over 25 million diabetics is just a small pointer to vast numbers of undiagnosed vascular cases. Studies show that patients of severe vascular disease have been treated for low backache and arthritis for years,” he revealed.
Its onset of peripheral gangrene that reveals absence of pulsations for long periods of time hitherto unnoticed. After diagnosis also only treatment of these cases has been amputations leaving primary vascular problem unsolved.
Dr Jindal said that first physical sign of loss of circulation may be loss of pulses in feet. Therefore it is very important that doctor checks pulses in feet every three months.
Lowering blood pressure, bad cholesterol levels, managing blood glucose and regular exercises are best ways to prevent these diseases.
Dr Jindal suggested that lifestyle should be charted to increase healthy circulation of blood from heart to various body parts and vice versa, besides administration of anti clogging or anti platelet drugs and specialized vascular surgery.
Even as very few specialized vascular surgeons are available for vascular surgery, still Dr Jindal feels that prevention and precaution are effective ways to deal with arterial diseases.
