26-year-old pregnant woman with uncontrolled diabetes underwent real-time Continuous Glucose Monitoring at Kauvery Hospital

Chennai: Kauvery Hospital Alwarpet, announced a significant milestone in maternal healthcare with successful integration of real time CGMS (Continuous Glucose Monitoring Study) Sensor Monitoring. 

This has yielded remarkable results for patients such as the 26-yr old woman with documented history of seisure disorder and learning disability.

Initially diagnosed as a pre-diabetic, her condition evolved into CGMS mother during pregnancy. Seeking specialised care, she turned to Kauvery Hospital Alwarpet during the 26th week of her gestational period.

Upon evaluation, her fasting and postprandial (PP) sugar levels were alarmingly high, exceeding 200 mg/dl. In normal circumstances for a GDM mother with twin babies, fasting levels should be around 70 – 90 mg/dl, and postprandial levels should stay within 120 mg/dl.

Recognising the urgency of the situation, the medical team immediately initiated CGMS Sensor Monitoring to comprehensively assess and manage her sugar levels and medication dosages. Through the real-time continuous monitoring the team was able to track her levels during crucial times throughout the day, including fasting, postprandial, pre-lunch, post-lunch, evening, pre-dinner, and post-dinner. The entire journey was attended to through the 24×7 Diabetic helpline number.

Under the guidance of Dr K Baraneedharan, Senior Consultant Diabetologist, Physician Assistant Akshaya and DrRPreethi and the hospital’s dedicated dietician, the team addressed the challenges posed by elevated sugar levels. Through a combination of real time continuous monitoring and adherence to a strict dietary regimen, her fasting sugar levels were significantly managed. Subsequently, her postprandial levels were also brought down to within the normal range over a period of 14 days.

This success not only stabilised her diabetic levels but also had an impact on her delivery plan. Initially scheduled for a cesarean section at the 32nd week, the meticulous sensor monitoring and sustained diabetic levels allowed for a safe extension to the 35th week. The woman successfully underwent the procedure, delivering healthy twin babies without the need for NICU admissions.

Dr Baraneedharan Senior Consultant, Diabetolgoist emphasised, “The use of CGMS real time Sensor Monitoring has proven to be a game-changer in managing gestational diabetes, offering real-time adjustments to get the best outcomes for both mother and baby. The sensor monitoring is attached to the individual and the sugar levels are tracked at different time period through the day and the levels appear on our clinical dashboard thus helping us to be in touch with the mother for critical interventions. This was entirely managed by the team remotely and with regular reviews.”

Adding to the success narrative, Dr Aravindan Selvaraj, Co-founder & Executive Director, Kauvery Group of Hospitals said, “In the pursuit of clinical excellence at Kauvery, the journey is as crucial as the destination. Patient care journey at Kauvery is a collective effort, where the collaboration of various disciplines forms the road to recovery. This multidisciplinary approach proved instrumental in facilitating a swift recovery for the mother and her new born, showcasing the power of collaborative care in ensuring holistic well-being. I appreciate Dr Baraneedharan and his team for restoring hope in the mother and her family.”

NMC should make it easier for medical students to report ghost faculty, zero attendance: Parliamentary Panel

New Delhi: A Parliamentary Committee on Health recently advised the National Medical Commission (NMC) to make it easier for the medical students and their parents to report ghost faculty and zero attendance. 

In its One Hundred Fifty-Seventh report, the Department-related Parliamentary Standing Committee on Health and Family Welfare discussed several issues related to medical education such as infrastructure, faculty issues, and quality control of medical education.

While discussing the problem of faculty shortage across the medical colleges in the country and also the issue of ghost faculty, the panel opined, “NMC should make it easier for students and parents to report ghost faculty and zero attendance.”

Noting that the faculty shortage is not only due to genuine shortage of qualified faculty, but also because the available faculty often lacks the inclination to teach at the college level, the Parliamentary Health Panel recommended the Government to strictly enforce the regulations already in place to curb the problem of ghost faculty and zero attendance.

Further, the panel suggested that NMC conducts regular inspections of medical colleges and take action against the colleges that are found violating the regulations. It also referred to the NMC’s rules of limiting the appointment of non-medical teachers at medical colleges and opined that the authorities should introduce a transitional period allowing the non-MBBS faculties to continue teaching until enough MBBS-qualified educators become available.

Apart from this, the Health Committee also advised the authorities to streamline and implement an efficient recruitment process to expedite faculty appointments and fill the vacant positions without any delays. The panel, chaired by Shri Bhubaneswar Kalita, presented its report before the Parliament on 9th February 2024. 

Also Read: Ghost Faculty, low Attendance Plague Medical Colleges in 2022-23, National Medical Commission Reveals

Indian Medical Colleges have been reeling under a shortage of adequate faculty for a long time. Medical Dialogues had last year reported that 349 out of the total 654 medical colleges across the country got a show cause notice from the Apex Medical regulator NMC for violations of the Minimum Standard Requirements 2020 including a deficiency in having the required faculty numbers.

Last year, in an assessment conducted for the academic year 2022-2023, NMC had unveiled a disconcerting reality within a majority of medical colleges. Those institutes were riddled with ghost faculties and senior residents, coupled with none meeting the mandated 50% attendance requirement.

While discussing the issue, the panel referred to the reply of the Union Health Minister in Rajya Sabha in August 2023, as per which about 5,527 faculty positions in all AIIMS have been sanctioned and around 2,161 seats were lying vacant. AIIMS, New Delhi which is a premier institute also faces severe faculty crunch with almost 347 faculty positions lying vacant and this accounts for almost 28% of the total sanctioned strength, noted the Panel.

Further, the panel pointed out that a recent assessment of 246 medical colleges in 2022-2023 by the UG Medical Education Board (UGMEB) of NMC revealed that no medical college had adequate faculty members or senior residents, and all failed to meet the 50% attendance requirement. The assessment brought to light that most of the colleges had either ghost faculty or senior residents or had yet to employ the required faculty at all. While none of the institutes met the minimum 50% attendance requirement, zero attendance of faculty was common in most of the medical colleges.

Among its multiple recommendations to tackle the issue, the Commission suggested streamlining the recruitment process to avoid any significant delays.

“Additionally, streamlining the recruitment process is imperative. The significant delays in the recruitment process must be reduced through the simplification of bureaucratic procedures and the incorporation of technology for quicker application processing and interview scheduling. An efficient recruitment process is necessary to expedite faculty appointments and fill vacant positions without unnecessary delays,” the panel mentioned in the report.

It also opined that the Commission should make it easier for parents and students to report ghost faculty and zero attendance. In this regard, the report mentioned, “NMC should make it easier for students and parents to report ghost faculty and zero attendance. Furthermore, the Committee feels that the Government should undertake some essential steps for retaining faculty viz. improved working conditions for faculty members, transparent career progression paths, etc.Clear criteria and milestones for promotions by recognising and rewarding excellence in teaching, research, and clinical work need to be chalked out. Regular performance evaluations are crucial in identifying and addressing concerns promptly.”

By Doctors’ Prescription only: Oseltamivir and Zanamivir added into Schedule H1 Drugs

New Delhi: Through a recent gazette notification, the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare, Government of India, has placed Oseltamivir and Zanamivir to Schedule H1 of the Drug Rules, 1945, restricting the sale of these two antiviral drugs on a prescription from a Registered Medical Practitioner.

This move came in line with the draft notification published by the Ministry on September 25, 2023, suggesting the insertion of Oseltamivir (serial number 49) and Zanamivir (serial number 50) into the list of medications listed as Schedule H1.

In view of the above, the draft notification invited objections and suggestions from stakeholders within thirty days.

Following this, the Central Government came up with the amendment to add Oseltamivir (serial number 49) and Zanamivir (serial number 50) to the list of drugs referred to as Schedule H1 after receiving and taking into consideration the public suggestions and consulting with the Drugs Technical Advisory Board.

The Drugs and Cosmetic Rules of 1945 allocated provisions for the classification of the drugs under various given schedules including details regarding the storage, display, sale, and prescription of an individual schedule. The prominent schedules included Schedule G, H, X, and J.

Schedule H1 has been introduced through Gazette notification GSR 588 (E) dated 30-08-2013 to check the indiscriminate use of antibiotics, anti-TB, and some other drugs in the country. The schedule contains certain 3rd and 4th generation antibiotics, certain habit-forming drugs, and anti-TB drugs.

Schedule H contains a list of drugs that can be sold only against the prescription of a registered medical practitioner. Another provision that needs to be followed is that only the required amount of medications mentioned in the prescription can be dispensed. These drugs can be supplied only to licensed parties.

The drug label must exhibit the text “Rx” and Schedule H drug warning: To be sold by retailers on the prescription of a Registered Medical Practioner only. As per the notification on 16th March 2006 released by the Department of Health under the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare, there are 536 Schedule H drugs. The original list contained 510 drugs but this has been revised by the Drugs Technical Advisory Board (DTAB) and the present list includes about 536 drugs.

The drug supplied under the schedule H1 specification should be recorded in a separate register at the time of supply, mentioning the name and address of the prescriber, the name of the patient, and the name of the drug along with the quantity supplied. This register has to be maintained confidentially for up to three years and should be open for inspection.

The schedule H1 drugs should be labeled with the symbol Rx in red, clearly displayed on the left top corner of the drug label. The label should also bear the following words in a box with a red border.

“Schedule H1 Drug-Warning:

-It is dangerous to take this preparation except in accordance with the medical advice.

-Not to be sold by retail without the prescription of a Registered Medical Practitioner.”

In exercise of the powers conferred by section 12 read with section 33 of the Drugs and Cosmetics Act, 1940 (23 of 1940), the Central Government, after consultation with the Drugs Technical Advisory Board, hereby makes the following rules further to amend the Drugs Rules, 1945, namely:

(1) These rules may be called the Drugs (Amendment) Rules, 2024.
(2) They shall come into force on the date of their final publication in the Official Gazette.
In the Drugs Rules, 1945, in Schedule H1, after serial number 48 and entries relating thereto, the following serial number and entry shall be inserted, namely:-
“49. Oseltamivir 50. Zanamivir”.

Dr. Alain Cribier was a distinguished French cardiologist celebrated for pioneering the Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation (TAVI) technique, a revolutionary procedure that has transformed the treatment of severe aortic stenosis, especially for patients who are high-risk for conventional surgery. His innovative work has provided a life-saving alternative for many patients worldwide, greatly advancing the field of interventional cardiology. Apart from TAVI, he was credited with many first including developing and performing the world’s first balloon aortic valvuloplasty in 1986 and the world’s first mitral commissurotomy in 1995

Cribier’s medical training started at the University of Paris and it was here that he decided to specialise in cardiology. From an early stage in his career, Alain was drawn towards cardiology and cardiac surgery, significantly influenced by leading figures at Hopital Broussais, Hopital Saint Antoine, and Hôpital Tenon. Between 1962 and 1968, he dedicated much of his time at Hôpital Broussais working as an ‘instrumentist’ for Professor Charles Dubost and his cardiac surgery team. Then, from 1969 to 1971, he was at Hôpital Tenon, where he gained initial exposure to cardiac catheterization and Intensive Care Units (ICUs), mentored by Professor Chiche during the pioneering days of left heart catheterization.

After earning his certification in Cardiology, along with a diploma in law and health economics, Alain chose to complete his residency at Charles Nicolle University Hospital in Rouen, France. There, he joined the Department of Cardiology, led by Professor Brice Letac. Thereafter he rose up in his career in cardiology, while also making several groundbreaking contributions to the field.

Since 2013, Alain Cribier was overseeing the Medical Training Center (MTC) in Rouen. This center focuses on medical education and training of doctors through various methods such as simulation, video conferences, and interactive training sessions involving surgeons, physicians, and specialists.

NEET MDS 2024: SC Issues Notice on Plea Seeking Postponement, Internship Deadline Extension

New Delhi: The Supreme Court has now issued notice on the plea seeking the postponement of the NEET MDS 2024 examination and the extension of the internship completion deadline.

While considering the plea, the Apex Court bench comprising Chief Justice of India DY Chandrachud and Justices JB Pardiwala and Manoj Misra took note of the submission by the petitioners that the decision to conduct NEET MDS 2024 on its scheduled date i.e. on March 18, 2024, is being done without factual ascertainment of the internship completion dates despite specific directions of the Telangana High Court in this regard in 2023.

Taking note of the matter, the top court bench agreed to issue notice. However, the bench denied granting any interim relief to the aspirants while noting that “It’s only a matter of cut-off date”.

The plea has been listed for further hearing on 21st February, 2024, Wednesday.

Medical Dialogues had earlier reported that the NEET MDS aspirants have been demanding postponement of the examination for a long time. After getting no positive response from the Government authorities, the students recently sought legal help by filing a plea in this regard before the Supreme Court.

The aspirants have argued that they require more time for adequate preparation. Therefore, they have approached the Apex Court bench with the hope for a favourable resolution from the judiciary ensuring fairness and equal opportunity.

As per the latest media report by Live Law, the Supreme Court has now issued notice in a plea seeking postponement of NEET MDS 2024 and extension of internship completion deadline after taking note of the submission that the decision to conduct NEET MDS was arbitrary since it was being done without factual ascertainment of the internship completion dates despite the specific direction issued by the Telangana High Court last year.

Back in 2023, while considering a plea seeking rescheduling of NEET MDS 2023, the Telangana HC had disposed the matter noting, “Before parting with the case we also make it clear from the next academic year the respondent shall take steps to see that all the candidates who have completed MBBS/BDS course across the country a uniform cut off date be fixed and enough care is taken to ensure that sufficient time is granted to all the students to prepare for NEET.”

This year, even though NEET PG 2024 was rescheduled from March 3rd to July 2024, and the cutoff was extended to August 15, 2024, NBE announced that NEET MDS 2024 would be conducted on March 18th, 2024 and the deadline for Internship completion would be March 31, 2024.

Referring to this, the counsel for the petitioners, Senior Advocate Mr. Gonsalves argued that some of the petitioners who completed the mandatory internship have registered for NEET MDS 2024. However, several interns are ineligible to register as their internship completion date is beyond 31.03.2024. Pressing for an earlier date of hearing, the petitioners’ counsel informed the bench that February 19 is the last date to register for NEET MDS 2024 exam.

The plea sought revision of the cut-off date based on the parity with the earlier instances. It has been highlighted by the petitioner how in 2023, the Internship deadline for NEET MDS was officially extended until June 30, 2023. 

It was argued that the decision to withhold a similar extension for 2024, without verifying the actual internship completion dates, deems to be arbitrary and unsustainable as it contrasts the approach taken by the National Medical Commission (NMC), which assessed the internship completion dates before taking any decisions.

“It is evident that counselling has always commenced after the internship cut-off date. In 2023 too internship cut-off date was 30.6.2023 for NEET MDS and tentative common counselling for NEET PG and NEET MDS was issued only in August 2023. The internship cut-off for NEET PG 2023 was August 11 2023. Hence, after ascertaining the internship completion dates for 2024 by the National Medical Commission, the cut-off date was fixed as 15th August 2024 and the NEET PG-24 entrance date as 7th July 2024,” further stated the plea.

The bench agreed to issue notice in the matter. However, it denied granting any interim relief while observing that it was a matter of cut-off only.

NEET MDS aspirants have been demanding the postponement of the exam to July like the NEET PG examination. Taking to social media, they have highlighted that even if the exam is conducted in March, the counselling would not commence soon.

According to the MDS aspirants, the counselling process for the NEET PG examination and NEET MDS are always conducted together. Therefore, with the NEET PG getting postponed to July, it is unlikely that NEET MDS counselling would be held anytime soon. Terming it to be an “injustice”, the aspirants have been demanding that the NEET MDS exam also get postponed till July.

Online petitions have already been launched by the candidates highlighting the fact that the commencement of the NEET MDS 2024 in March is causing extreme emotional distress as they don’t have enough time to prepare for the exam. The aspirants filed several online petitions seeking the postponement of the exam on change.org a few days ago and it had been already signed by around 8000 aspirants in total.

In one of the recent copies of several online petitions circulating on social media, over 2,760 candidates have signed it as they pointed out that they are facing immense mental stress and pressure because of the NEET MDS schedule in March.
