#WATCH | Bhubaneswar, Odisha: Rugby India President Rahul Bose says, "Every year, the Asia Rugby Emirates Tournament takes place—featuring categories for men and women, as well as under-20 and under-18 age groups. It provides invaluable international exposure, as we compete against at least five to six other nations annually. The Olympic cycle spans three years, followed by the Olympic qualifiers. Five years ago, we set a target: to reach the 2032 Olympics. Since 1952, hockey has arguably been the only team sport from India to feature in the Olympics. We aspire to be the next team to qualify for the Olympics—that is our stated goal. In Rugby Sevens, there is a quota system for Olympic qualification; you must either finish at the top in Asia or, by securing second place, earn a chance to compete against teams from other continents to secure a spot in the Olympic draw. We are currently evaluating whether our women’s team—which holds a ranking of six—can climb five spots higher over the next five years, leading up to 2031. Two and a half years ago, our ranking was 14; now, it is six. While the path ahead will be more challenging, we remain hopeful that in five years' time, we will qualify for the Olympics. This is our ambition, our motivation, and our endeavour..."

Same medicine. ₹4 crore a year vs ₹2.5 lakh a year. 💔

A helpless mom came to me with her child, who has Allan-Herndon-Dudley syndrome (MCT8 deficiency). It was very painful to see them so helpless. I tried to find a solution as if it were my own child. I couldn't rest otherwise.

Tiratricol wasn't available in India. Dr Santosh and I wrote to doctors. Dr Praveen and others directed us to the Erasmus team, who did the trials for Tiratricol. After many emails, they suggested Egetis Therapeutics might be able to support the child. I teared up. But our happiness was short-lived: Egetis said it could not give us the medicine.

I wrote to many journalists. I posted on Instagram and tagged the PM. Someone told me Tiratricol was available in Germany. The mother bought it, paying ₹12 lakh for just one month. That's impossible to keep up for life, for this child or for the five other children with the same condition under Dr Praveen's care at CMC Vellore.

Finally, Toufiq, a senior journalist, wrote about it, and it reached the Pharmaceutical Accountability Foundation in the Netherlands. They said Tiratricol can be made available at ₹2.5 lakh per child per year, against ₹4 crore per child per year by Egetis!

I raised funds, and the Pharmaceutical Accountability Foundation raised funds. Now 7 children are getting the medicine free of cost for one whole year. (The 7th child was added after my Instagram post.) 🙏

Thank you to Access to Medicines India and Organization for Rare Diseases India for their important role, and to geneticist Dr Kishore, who helped us reach the diagnosis.

India can compound the Active Pharmaceutical Ingredient here and make it available to every child with this condition at a reasonable cost.

People of India, you can make it happen! Please share. 🙏

All the paediatricians, endocrinologists, paediatric endocrinologists, and paediatric neurologists, if you are currently caring for a child with confirmed or suspected MCT8 deficiency, please share the details below. Our team may contact you for further clinical information and coordination regarding diagnosis, treatment and access to tiratricol.

Please do not upload or share unnecessary patient-identifying information at this stage.

[Iran in India @Iran_in_India]

The Embassy of the Islamic Republic of Iran in New Delhi expresses its sincere appreciation to the Government of India, the Indian Navy and the Indian Air Force for their successful operation to rescue the 20 Iranian crew members of the fishing vessel Azini from pirates.

We highly commend the professionalism, courage and effective coordination demonstrated by the Indian Armed Forces, reflecting India's strong commitment to Humanitarian Assistance and Disaster Relief (HADR) and its role in saving lives beyond borders.

This humanitarian operation stands as a testament to the spirit of friendship, solidarity and cooperation between Iran and India.

We extend our sincere gratitude to all those involved in ensuring the safe rescue of the Iranian crew.

Getting messages over the last month from parents of 1st MBBS students asking what their kids should start studying

My advice: Relax, get a feel of college life/ classes, & smell some formalin in the dissection hall! 😁

Why take stress before the real stress even begins?

@TanmayBisw50051 @DrDhruvchauhan I didn't criticised any community friend, my criticism is for the fraudsters who are now uplifted and are still taking reservation and taking the opportunity of a student from a real backward tribe or section of our society. I guess this is what reservation was really for

[Akshat Dwivedi @AkshatD_]

@TanmayBisw50051 @DrDhruvchauhan All students studying in same environment during ug having access to same library, classroom, professor require a quota for getting admission in pg too. Makes me think on this reservation system too. And again privileged general cat students taking ews certificate is wrong👍

[Akshat Dwivedi @AkshatD_]

@TanmayBisw50051 @DrDhruvchauhan Not correct information dear.. all ews bearers are not brahmin, please get your facts checked. Your lack of knowledge demotivates me to hold a conversation. grow up friend.

@TanmayBisw50051 @DrDhruvchauhan Correct! Theyvshould also do something for the students who's family has been already uplifted via sc/st or other quota reservation and still using it and doing injustice with those who really need it

Can we shrink coronary plaque?

New CT data says yes, partly, and the numbers are worth looking at.
For years we described statins as drugs that stabilise plaque and slow its growth. Regression was treated as a bonus that rarely showed up. A new analysis from the FLOWPROMOTE trial, published in JAMA Cardiology on 30 October 2026, makes a stronger case.

The trial enrolled 104 patients with stable coronary artery disease who had never taken a statin. Their mean age was 64. One group got atorvastatin 40 mg and the other got rosuvastatin 40 mg plus ezetimibe 10 mg. Plaque across the whole coronary tree was quantified on coronary CT angiography at baseline and again at 18 months.

What happened:
• LDL cholesterol fell from 120 to 70 mg/dL on atorvastatin (38%), and from 127 to 43 mg/dL on the combination (65%).
• Total plaque volume shrank by 21.1% with the combination and by 13.6% with atorvastatin.
• Noncalcified plaque shrank by 28.2% with the combination and by 20.0% with atorvastatin.
• Noncalcified plaque regressed in 51 of 52 patients on the combination, against 39 of 51 on atorvastatin.
• The lower the LDL went, the more plaque regressed, in a straight line.

As a radiologist, two points stand out for me. The plaque that regressed most was the soft, lipid rich component, which is the part we worry about. Meanwhile, calcified plaque volume rose by a similar amount in both groups. So a calcium score that goes up on therapy does not mean the treatment has failed. It may simply mean the plaque is maturing and stabilising.

Atherosclerosis is at least partly reversible. That is worth carrying into the clinic and into the classroom.
