Chennai: A postgraduate student at Madras Medical College narrowly escaped an attempted murder on Saturday night outside Rajiv Gandhi Government General Hospital in Chennai. The Flower Bazaar police have arrested one of the attackers, identified as 20-year-old Rithik Kumar, a college student from Uttar Pradesh, while his cousin Amit Kumar, a graduate from UP, is currently on the run. The incident occurred when 26-year-old Rohan from Vellore was standing near a tea stall outside the hospital, and one of the two assailants fired at him but missed. The public managed to apprehend Rithik, but Amit fled the scene. Preliminary investigations reveal that Amit, suspecting his ex-girlfriend's friendship with Rohan, plotted the attack as revenge for their relationship ending. Amit and Rithik had arrived in Chennai two weeks prior, acquiring a pistol for Rs 5,000, and had been following Rohan for three days before the attempted murder. Rithik's lack of cooperation with the investigation has led to him being remanded in judicial custody, while efforts continue to apprehend Amit and further probe the case.

New Delhi: In a significant milestone for medical innovation, the collaborative efforts between IIT Delhi and AIIMS New Delhi have resulted in the development of an indigenous and cost-effective tracheoesophageal prosthesis, marking a breakthrough in the field of medical technology in India.
In a landmark achievement, doctors at the Jaslok Hospital and Research Centre in Mumbai announced the successful Total Knee Replacement (TKR) procedure on a 72-year-old American man, weighing a remarkable 193 kg. This groundbreaking surgery marks a significant milestone as the heaviest patient ever to undergo such a procedure globally. TKR stands as a transformative intervention for individuals grappling with excruciating knee pain, offering them renewed mobility and an improved quality of life. However, for overweight individuals, accessing this treatment presents formidable challenges due to heightened surgical risks and technical intricacies.
According to the surgical team, led by Dr. Rajesh Nawalkar, Senior Consultant in Orthopaedics, every patient's unique circumstances demand a tailored approach to surgery. By meticulously customizing their techniques and collaborating closely with fellow medical professionals, they successfully navigated the complexities posed by the patient's weight, culminating in a triumphant outcome. Among the foremost hurdles encountered in TKR for overweight patients are the elevated risks associated with anesthesia and the heightened potential for embolism. This underscores the importance of precision and vigilance in addressing the specific needs of each patient to ensure optimal results and minimize complications.
Furthermore, the conventional use of a tourniquet, a standard protocol in TKR surgeries, presents technical challenges due to the patient's larger thigh circumference, heightening the risk of tissue damage and post-operative complications. In response to these challenges, Dr. Nawalkar collaborated closely with instrument manufacturers to devise specialized instruments tailored to accommodate the patient's unique anatomy, thereby ensuring optimal surgical outcomes. Additionally, meticulous preoperative assessments and consultations were conducted to ascertain the patient's readiness and obtain informed consent.
Richard Koszarek, the patient, underwent the surgery on January 7, 2024, with no reported complications during the procedure. However, the path to recovery was equally crucial, with rehabilitation playing a pivotal role in achieving successful outcomes. Despite facing reluctance from numerous doctors in India and abroad due to his weight, Richard expressed gratitude to the surgical team for their unwavering commitment and skillful intervention, which enabled him to regain mobility and resume an active lifestyle.
