Why bereavement can lead to a 'broken heart'
"We found that broken heart syndrome triggers a storm in the immune system which results in acute inflammation in the heart muscle. The heart muscle then spills inflammatory signals that are circulating throughout the body," said lead researcher Dana Dawson, Professor at University of Aberdeen in Scotland. There is currently no treatment for broken heart syndrome, or Takotsubo cardiomyopathy. The new study, published in the journal Circulation, suggests that drugs that target inflammation could offer hope of fixing broken hearts. In the study, 55 patients with acute Takotsubo cardiomyopathy were recruited from five Scottish cardiac centres. Using sophisticated MRI techniques, the researchers found that the inflammatory immune response in the hearts of those with broken heart syndrome was heightened compared to healthy volunteers. This study also showed that signs of inflammation were still found five months later, albeit at a much lesser level. "Takotsubo cardiomyopathy is a serious stress-induced condition which affects mainly women and can cause long-lasting damage and scarring to the heart muscle. Surprisingly, there are still large gaps in our knowledge of its underlying biology," said Professor Metin Avkiran, Associate Medical Director at the British Heart Foundation which funded the study. "The discovery that it is accompanied by inflammation within the heart and in the rest of the body is an important step forward," Avkiran said. "We now need further research to understand if inflammation causes Takotsubo cardiomyopathy and determine if drugs that target inflammation could be the key to fixing broken hearts," Avkiran said.

Each and every document of Rafale is with me. Now whether he wanted somebody to go and inform them in Delhi or what. I didn't understand.On Wednesday, Rane wrote to Parrikar: "At no point there has been a discussion between me and any other individual. There should be a thorough inquiry into this matter and I would like to once again inform the CM that there is someone playing mischief and there should be a thorough inquiry." Chief minister Parrikar tweeted: "The audio clip released by the Congress party is a desperate attempt to fabricate facts after lies were exposed by the recent Supreme Court verdict on Rafale. No such discussion ever came up during Cabinet or any other meeting."Local media in Goa had reported about a cabinet meeting held at Parrikar's residence in Panaji on December 20 when some ministers expressed unhappiness with the slow pace of recruitment. This issue figures in the tape.The conversation also hints at attempts at a power grab, listing names and events usually familiar to an insider.

Cruise tourism set to grow as international travel expected to double by 2020
China grew from 4 lakh to 2.7 million in just under a decade. "India has similar potential, if not more and the government is keen on the cruising sector," he said, adding it is imperative for us to catch this cycle over the next two-three years as deployment is usually planned a couple of years in advance. Tirun Travel Marketing is the India representative for Royal Caribbean Cruises with a portfolio of three of its cruise brands including, Royal Caribbean International, Celebrity Cruises and Azamara Club Cruises. It also handles exclusive sales and marketing for the various other brands while also providing operational support across the country. Chadha expects the domestic cruising market to expand dramatically, with the government also serious on developing this sector. The government is planning to link Mumbai with other prominent locations across the country, besides South East Asia and has asked private operators to come forward and take the benefit of the booming cruise industry. "49 per cent of the investment in tourism is going to create employment," Union Minister Nitin Gadkari, who handles the road transport, highways, shipping and water resource portfolios had said earlier. Meanwhile, on October 12, Mumbai-Goa cruise service began by the Angriya, which was non-stop, 16-hour voyage from the Purple Gate of Mumbai's Indira Docks and arrived at Mormugao in South Goa ferrying 399 passengers. "India is unique in that we will cater to domestic ports along with the appeal of cruising. The government has also worked on demand by allowing leave travel concession (LTC) for cruising," Chadha added. This year Tirun will offer two special India cruises - Christmas special cruise from Abu Dhabi to Mumbai with a special Christmas celebrations on board and the New Year cruise that starts from Mumbai on December 28 with a double overnight stay in Dubai, including New Year's Eve with cruise ending in Abu Dhabi with an overnight stay, he said. Beginning from Mumbai, there will also be cruises to Cochin and then makes a journey across the Eastern African coast, including Durban and finally docking at Cape Town. It will also dock at Seychelles. The demand is so high that advance booking, especially for New Year sailing, ended two months before the sailing, he added.

Mysuru: Most prasada tragedy patients recover
Only one patient is now on ventilator support and one in ICU and nine patients are being treated at seven different private hospitals. The man behind the success story, Chamarajnagar district health officer Dr K H Prasad, said, " Despite our best efforts we lost 17 patients, and we had given up hope on at least 25 others, but thanks to efforts by doctors at all private hospitals, they have survived." Dr Prasad had appointed a team experts to monitor the line of treatment at the private hospitals treating these patients. Most were poor devotees from remote villages, who had eaten the prasada at the Maramma temple in Sulvadi , Hanur taluk. Dr Prasad explained although 10 ventilators available in Kollegal taluk were used to immediately treat a few devotees, nine ventilator -fitted ambulances and 16 normal ambulances were used to later shift the rest to Mysuru. "But as only four of its 20 ventilators were available at KR hospital, it could treat only 30 patients, and the others had to be shifted to different private hospitals," he added.
