Scientists have identified warning signals in the #blood that can predict #lungcancer more than five years before the disease is diagnosed, a #breakthrough that could help tackle one of India's deadliest cancers, where most patients are detected only at an advanced stage. The findings are particularly relevant for #India, where lung cancer cases are projected to rise from about 63,700 in 2015 to more than 81,000 by 2025 and nearly 80-85% of patients are diagnosed at an advanced stage.
Published in Cell, the study identified a 14-protein #bloodsignature that predicted lung cancer risk a median of 5.6 years before diagnosis, potentially enabling earlier monitoring, screening and preventive interventions. @timesofindia

Hypertension is increasingly affecting teenagers and young adults in India because of rising stress, obesity, poor sleep and unhealthy lifestyles, silently damaging the brain, heart and kidneys long before symptoms appear, doctors and #public #healthexperts warned on Thursday ahead of #WorldHypertensionDay on May 17. Speaking at the ‘Illness to Wellness Conference on Transforming Hypertension Care: Prevention to Wellness’, experts said many patients discover high blood pressure only after suffering a stroke, heart attack or kidney failure because the disease often remains symptomless for years.
Calling hypertension a “#silentkiller”, Union minister of state for health and family welfare Prataprao Jadhav said changing lifestyles and neglect of physical and mental health were contributing to rising hypertension among younger people. @timesofindia @MoHFW_INDIA

[AIIMS, New Delhi 🇮🇳 @aiims_newdelhi]

#WATCH | Jewar, UP | BJP MLA Dhirendra Singh says, "... The day the site opened (for flight tickets at Noida International Airport), I noticed that the tickets displayed on the site were over Rs 5,000, but at the same time, if we had taken a ticket from Delhi Airport, for a Lucknow to Delhi flight, the fare would have been around Rs 3,000... The VAT on turbine aviation fuel is 1% here, while at Delhi Airport it is 25%. People should have benefited from this difference. I am not happy with the arbitrary actions of private companies. As an MLA, it was my duty... I have requested the Prime Minister, the Aviation Minister, and those associated with Aviation in the Indian government, and the Chief Minister and the Chief Secretary of Uttar Pradesh, to consider this matter..."

SH SANJAY JAMUAR APPOINTED THE FIRST CEO OF DELHI METRO INTERNATIONAL LIMITED

Sh. Sanjay Jamuar has been appointed as the first Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Delhi Metro International Limited (DMIL) which has been set up by DMRC with the support of the Government to take up Metro projects as well as Operation and Maintenance (O&M) assignments in India outside Delhi and abroad.

DMIL has the mandate to offer advisory services to other authorities and lenders to help develop, improve and prepare long term plans for metro and transit systems. DMIL will leverage the experience and expertise of DMRC which has directly or indirectly helped many cities in India to build their own metro systems.

Sh. Jamuar is an ex IRTS officer with wide experience across the Indian railways, DMRC, and internationally in the UK, USA, France, Middle East and Europe. He holds a Post Graduate Diploma in strategic leadership from Warwick Business school UK, and has done research work at Leeds University in Transport Economics. Incidentally when he joined DMRC in 1998 he was the first O&M employee. Therefore, coming back to DMRC is like a homecoming for him.

DMRC is already involved as a consultant with the Dhaka Metro project in Bangladesh. It is also handling crucial O&M contracts for the Chennai, Mumbai and Patna Metro projects and has played the role of the consultant for almost all major Metro projects in India. DMRC has also carried out construction work for Metro projects in Mumbai, Jaipur and Patna. Therefore, the DMIL is now expected to further expand DMRC’s footprint across the world.
