Medical Saga at SRM- Rare Nasal tumour removedfrom 4-year-old girl child in two precision surgeries

KATTANKULATHUR, AUG 19

A rare nasal tumour in a four-year-old girl child, which had blockedboth her nasal passages and wasmenacingly extending into her lefteye, has been remarkably removed intwo well spaced-out precisionsurgeries in a first-of-its-kindmedical feat at the SRM MedicalCollege Hospital and ResearchCentre, Kattankulathur, near here.

This was a medical saga over asix-month period since the femalechild was brought by her parents tothe Hospital's ENT Out-PatientDepartment with complaints of nasalblockage, snoring, protrusion of theleft eye and excessive tearing fromleft eye since infancy.

The girl's medical historyrevealed that a biopsy done on herwhen she was ten months old inanother hospital, had diagnosed avery unusual tumour-Myofibroblastic tumour-, and thechild had undergone 30 cycles ofchemotherapy. Despite thetreatment, the tumour had grown and

blocked both nasal passages. It hadalso extended into the poor girl's lefteye and was displacing it "outwardsand downwards". FurtherInvestigations by expert doctors atSRM revealed a very extensivetumour in the left nasal cavity withextension into the left eye, engulfingthe left eyeball and displacing theeye outwards. The team of doctors,including Prof. Lt. Col. Dr. A.Ravikumar, Dr. Shivapriya, Dr. B.Gayathri, Dr. Radhakrishnan,Departments of ENT,Anaesthesiology & Opthalmology,SRM Medical College Hospital andResearch Centre, first did a very fineprocedure on the girl child onFebruary 5, 2021, so that the tumourwas 'debulked' using a nasalendoscope and only a small incision

externally. This first procedure wasnecessary as the tumour had becomehard in the wake of thechemotherapy and had madedissection difficult. After wideningthe nasal airway, doctors decided tostagger the second operation,pending confirmation of thediagnosis by histopathologicalexamination of the excised tissue.The histopathological examinationconfirmed it as 'Myofibroblastictumour', a very rare type ofmalignancy, especially in a child andthat too in the nose. Only 23 suchcases have been reported so far.

Subsequently, on July 6, 2021,the team of doctors performed thesecond operation on the girl child toremove the tumour extension intoher left eye, as that was exertingpressure and displacing the eye. Itwas a very delicate procedure donesuccessfully by the doctors team atSRM. Then, the doctors removedthe remaining tumour in the 'frontalsinus and orbit' encircling the eyeendoscopically, in combination witha small incision above the eye.

Setting the stage for India's gold questThe sight of our Prime Min-

ister offering choorma toNeeraj Chopra, ice-cream

to PV Sindhu, laughing withBajrang Punia, telling RaviDahiya to laugh more andhearing the experiences ofMirabai Chanu brought a smileon every Indian's face. Whatwas equally encouraging wasthat he spent time with eachand every athlete who tookpart at Tokyo. The next day, heinteracted with the Paralympiccontingent, discussing their in-spiring life journeys.

These gestures indicate adifferent side to NarendraModi- a person who is pas-sionate about sports and aperson willing to go the extramile for India's athletes. Beforethe Tokyo Games began,Narendra Modi held an exten-sive review meeting to takestock of our preparedness inTokyo. Those who have seenNarendra Modi closely canvouch for the passion he per-sonally has towards supporting

a culture of sports and gamesamong the youth. As CM ofGujarat, he began the KhelMahakumbh initiative whichboosted grassroots levelsports participation in a statethat is not historically knownfor sporting excellence. Thereis also a method to whichNarendra Modi has supportedsports and sportspersons,which would make me arguehe is India's first and foremost'Sportsperson's Prime Minis-

ter'! A few days ago, a 2013video went viral. In that video,Narendra Modi was address-ing a group of college studentsin Pune, where he lamentedthat India has a large and tal-ented population as well as ahistory of sporting excellencebut Olympic after Olympic westruggle to raise our medalcount. He said that there is noreason a nation like oursshould remain deprived ofOlympic success. But, accord-ing to him, the issue was notthe players but our inability tocreate the right supporting at-mosphere whereby sports getsthe support and dignity it mer-its. The women's and men'sHockey team has gone onrecord saying that the PrimeMinister's phone calls aftertheir defeats played a key rolein boosting their morale. Backin 2019, when Neeraj Choprasuffered a grave injury, PMModi wished him a speedy re-covery, which was widely ap-preciated.

When it comes to sports,the Prime Minister has under-stood the root of the problem -that sports generates much in-terest but when it comes to in-centives and participation,there is a wide gap. When heremarked after meeting theOlympic winners, "Seeing therecent successes in sports, Iam confident there will be ashift in parental attitude to-wards sports." There was bothfact and optimism in this re-mark. When parents see In-dia's medal count rising, onehopes they will surely be moreopen to their children pursuingsports. But, more importantlywhen they see all arms of theGovernment, the corporatesector support our players,they will realise that sportsmakes for an attractive and ho-nourable career.

Amongst the various wayswe may further enhance In-dia's sporting success is bylooking at encouraging ourstates towards a 'One State -

One Sport' outlook; they canprioritise one particular gameor a few to promote (while notignoring others) based on theavailable talent pool, naturalinterest, climatic conditionsand available infrastructure intheir region. Not only will thisbring a focussed approach butalso allow for optimum utilisa-tion of existing resources in thestate. Further, we must alsoon-board corporate India toadopt 'One Sport - One Corpo-rate'.

Across the world, corpo-rates are at the forefront in ex-tending support to budding tal-ent, building leagues, enhanc-ing the fan experience, market-ing as well as merchandisingto enhance the financial kitty ofplayers. The success of corpo-rates with Cricket over theyears is a case study to point.Additionally, the sponsorshippattern has transitioned fromFMCG brands to new FinTechunicorns. This can be a win-win for players, corporates and

the game itself.Another important aspect

to promote and amplify sportsand talent acquisition in thecountry is by building a grass-roots sporting culture. For this,it is imperative to expand thecalendar of various games atthe local, state and nationallevel. India needs 'RegionalLeagues' in every sport thatwill provide an opportunity foryoung athletes to hone theirskills through the year at vari-ous levels, build a competitivespirit as well as enhance thesports ecosystem and infra-structure in the country. I alsobelieve our University systemcan be transformed into an oa-sis for Olympic excellence.

These measures will fillthe gap between interest andparticipation going forward.

One of the things that hashelped Indian sports is the em-phasis on quality and globalstandards. The conventionalroute was bureaucratic andtiresome; this has changed in

Modi government, where eventhe Prime Minister prefers todirectly receive feedback fromthe players themselves. Whilemeeting the Tokyo 2020 con-tingent, he asked them to keepsharing their views on ways tostrengthen sporting infrastruc-ture. Be it Mirabai or MaryKom, the PM has personallyensured they got the besttreatment during their injuries.

One of the other issuesimpacting Indian sports is(ironically) the rise of moderntechnology. Narendra Modihas addressed this in his book'Exam Warriors' and also dur-ing his 'Pariksha Pe Charcha'Townhall programmes. Hetalked about giving as muchimportance to the playing fieldand the play station. Modi hasnot dismissed the advent ofmodern technology. He hassought a healthy balancewhere the human element ofsports- teamwork, together-ness are maintained. Further-more, the National Education

Policy also consists of mecha-nisms that will make sports ed-ucation an attractive option. Inthe years to come Manipur willget India's first sports universi-ty, which will be a boon to ath-letes and specially harness therich sporting legacy in theNortheast.

Tokyo 2020 was anOlympics of many firsts for In-dia. We won our first Gold inathletics, the Hockey team didwonders and there were suc-cesses in other sports such asdiscus throw, golf, fencing, etc.The Target Olympic PodiumScheme, Khelo India and theFit India Campaign have laidthe foundations for greatersuccess.

New India has fire in theirbelly, our sports carry the fullsupport of the government andPrime Minister in their questfor sporting excellence.

Take charge of theclimate problem

All of humanity contributes to the climatechange problem. All of us alive at a givenpoint in time consume, and our consumption

has a carbon footprint. However, consumption isnon-uniform — higher-income consumers have larg-er footprints, including carbon. Economic inequalityand carbon inequality go hand-in-hand. Rich peoplein every country have contributed more to globalwarming than the poor. In fixing the problem, therich must bear greater responsibility as well.Wealthy people everywhere must adopt lifestylechanges to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, but itis unlikely that they will do so on their own. Shouldthe wealthy be coerced? Probably not. Then how dowe bring about lifestyle changes among the wealthythat create a smaller footprint while, at the sametime, increasing the consumption of the poorest tobasic subsistence levels? How about letting the mar-ket address the problem of economic inequality andcarbon inequality?

Carbon dioxide emissions are the primary driverof global climate change. It is well accepted that toavoid the worst impact of climate change, the worldneeds to urgently reduce emissions. But global dis-cussions regarding how this responsibility is to beshared have yielded little. Nor have courts across ju-risdictions been able to usher in the required changein spite of a few judgments against governments andcorporations. It is us, all individuals who consume,who need to be active participants in the solution,and not countries or corporations that have been thetarget of climate change negotiations and lawsuits.

The current per capita carbon dioxide emissionis 4.79 tonnes. For the sake of argument, let us pre-sume that the members of the United NationsFramework Convention on Climate Change agree tofreeze per capita carbon dioxide emissions at thislevel, effective 2025, by when global carbon emis-sions must peak. During this intervening period, twothings need to happen: a mechanism put in place totrack every adult individual’s carbon dioxide emis-sion, and the establishment of a global carbon trad-ing platform for individuals, the ultimate consumers.The Paris Agreement target of a global average tem-perature rise well below two degrees Celsius by theend of this century is a political decision. In the last11,700 years or so, humans have experienced a rela-tively stable environment with minor changes in cli-mate and thrived like never before.

Adam's CurseWe sat together at one summer’s end,That beautiful mild woman, your closefriend, And you and I, andtalked of poetry.I said, ‘A line will takeus hours maybe;Yet if it does not seema moment’s thought, Our stitching and unstitching has beennaught. Better go down upon your marrow-bones And scrub a kitchen pavement, orbreak stones Like an old pauper, in all kinds ofweather; For to articulate sweet sounds togetherIs to work harder than all these.

New clues regardingformation of solar system

Astudy of the Ophi-uchus star-formingcomplex has offered

new insights into the condi-tions in which our own so-lar system was born. Thefindings of the study werepublished in the journal'Nature Astronomy'. A re-gion of active star forma-tion in the constellationOphiuchus is giving as-tronomers new insights intothe conditions in which ourown solar system was born.

In particular, the studyshowed how our solar sys-tem may have become en-riched with short-lived ra-dioactive elements.

Evidence of this enrich-ment process has beenaround since the 1970swhen scientists studyingcertain mineral inclusionsin meteorites concludedthat they were pristine rem-nants of the infant solarsystem and contained thedecay products of short-lived radionuclides.

These radioactive ele-ments could have beenblown onto the nascent so-lar system by a nearby ex-ploding star (a supernova)or by the strong stellarwinds from a type of mas-sive star known as a Wolf-Rayet star.

The authors of the newstudy used multi-wave-length observations of theOphiuchus star-forming re-gion, including spectacular

new infrared data, to revealinteractions between theclouds of star-forming gasand radionuclides producedin a nearby cluster of youngstars.

Their findings indicat-ed that supernovas in thestar cluster are the mostlikely source of short-livedradionuclides in the star-forming clouds.

"Our solar system wasmost likely formed in a gi-ant molecular cloud togeth-er with a young stellar clus-ter, and one or more super-nova events from somemassive stars in this clustercontaminated the gas whichturned into the sun and itsplanetary system," said co-author Douglas N. C. Lin,professor emeritus of as-

tronomy and astrophysicsat UC Santa Cruz. "Al-though this scenario hasbeen suggested in the past,the strength of this paper isto use multi-wavelengthobservations and a sophisti-cated statistical analysis todeduce a quantitative meas-urement of the model'slikelihood," he added.

First author JohnForbes at the Flatiron Insti-tute's Center for Computa-tional Astrophysics saiddata from space-basedgamma-ray telescopes en-able the detection of gam-ma rays emitted by theshort-lived radionuclidealuminum-26. "These arechallenging observations.We can only convincinglydetect it in two star-forming

regions, and the best dataare from the Ophiuchuscomplex," he said.

The Ophiuchus cloudcomplex contains manydense protostellar cores invarious stages of star for-mation and protoplanetarydisk development, repre-senting the earliest stages inthe formation of a planetarysystem.

By combining imagingdata in wavelengths rang-ing from millimetres togamma rays, the re-searchers were able to visu-alise a flow of aluminum-26 from the nearby starcluster toward the Ophi-uchus star-forming region.

"The enrichmentprocess we're seeing inOphiuchus is consistent

with what happened duringthe formation of the solarsystem 5 billion years ago,"Forbes said.

"Once we saw this niceexample of how the processmight happen, we set abouttrying to model the nearbystar cluster that producedthe radionuclides we see to-day in gamma rays," headded.

Forbes developed amodel that accounts forevery massive star thatcould have existed in thisregion, including its mass,age, and probability of ex-ploding as a supernova, andincorporates the potentialyields of aluminum-26from stellar winds and su-pernovas.

The model enabled himto determine the probabili-ties of different scenariosfor the production of thealuminum-26 observed to-day.

"We now have enoughinformation to say thatthere is a 59 per centchance it is due to super-novas and a 68 per centchance that it's from multi-ple sources and not just onesupernova," Forbes said.This type of statisticalanalysis assigns probabili-ties to scenarios that as-tronomers have been debat-ing for the past 50 years,Lin noted.

"This is the new direc-tion for astronomy, to quan-

tify the likelihood," headded. The new findingsalso showed that theamount of short-lived ra-dionuclides incorporatedinto newly forming starsystems can vary widely."Many new star systemswill be born with alu-minum-26 abundances inline with our solar system,but the variation is huge --several orders of magni-tude," Forbes said.

"This matters for theearly evolution of planetarysystems since aluminum-26is the main early heatingsource. More aluminum-26probably means drier plan-ets," he added. The infrareddata, which enabled theteam to peer through dustyclouds into the heart of thestar-forming complex, wasobtained by coauthor JoaoAlves at the University ofVienna as part of the Euro-pean Southern Observato-ry's VISION survey ofnearby stellar nurseries us-ing the VISTA telescope inChile. "There is nothingspecial about Ophiuchus asa star formation region,"Alves said.

"It is just a typical con-figuration of gas and youngmassive stars, so our resultsshould be representative ofthe enrichment of short-lived radioactive elementsin star and planet formationacross the Milky Way," heconcluded.

HumanityHumanity is one such qual-

ity which is a blessing re-ceived by god and from

this emerges the character ofevery human being. Accordingto various theologians andscholars, doing one's duty, doinggood deeds and stick-ing to one's religionare all part of human-ity.

The real humanbeing is the one whoconnects with his reli-gion and duty andguards his morals.Such a person is real-ly a Pious person.only such a person isendowed with thevirtues of humanity.A true manrises about his own selfishnessand lives for others.

He himself is virtuous andalways ready to apply moral val-ues in the society .So that ahealthy society can be created.Humanity turns a human beinginto a god such human being

Hong Kong lengthens quarantinesfor 16 countries

Hong Kong will tightenentry restrictions fortravellers arriving from

the United States and 15 othercountries beginning Friday, ex-tending the quarantine periodto 21 days.

Previously, the 15 coun-tries, which also includeMalaysia, Thailand, Franceand the Netherlands, wereclassified as medium-risk, withtravellers able to stay only sev-en days of quarantine if theywere fully vaccinated and test-ed positive for antibodies priorto leaving for the city.

A resurgence of coron-avirus cases in these countriesdue to the delta variant ledthem to be recategorised ashigh high-risk and strictermeasures imposed, as the gov-ernment sought to uphold thelocal barrier against the impor-tation of COVID-19 , it said ina statement. The changes comeafter a domestic worker whohad returned to Hong Kong

from the US earlier this monthtested positive for the coron-avirus, despite receiving twoshots of vaccine and testingpositive for antibodies.

The mandatory quarantineperiod was extended from sev-en to 14 days for fully vacci-nated travellers with a positiveantibody test arriving fromAustralia, now categorized asmedium-risk. Quarantine re-quirements for New Zealand,

which is the only country con-sidered low-risk, remain atseven days for fully-vaccinatedpassengers.

Hong Kong's zero-COVIDstrategy has seen authoritiesimpose strict border restric-tions and ban flights from ex-tremely high-risk countries, inthe hopes that no local com-munity spread would allow itto re-open borders with main-land China.

successfully with Endovascular Neurosurgery at Ivy Hospital, Mohali recently. Anjali (name changed ) who hails from Jalandhar was facing a severe headache. On MRI a large 2 cm aneurysm was discovered in a cavernous segment of the left Internal carotid artery was the cause of her problems. Earlier this kind of problem was treated with open surgery, but Dr Vineet Saggar, Head of Neuro

Interventional and E n d o v a s c u l a r Neurosurgery at Ivy Hospital is treating this kind of patient successfully with E n d o v a s c u l a r Neurosurgeon from the past 5-years at

Ivy. Giving information during a press conference here on Thursday, Dr Saggar said that in this technique, the catheter femoral artery and aneurysm is sealed with coils. Nowadays flow divertor or stent-assisted coiling is used to treat such large aneurysms, he informed. It was a complicated case as the neck of aneurysm was very large and simple coiling would have resulted in prolapse of coils into the main artery and caused blockage and stroke. So this patient was treated with stent assisted coiling and discharged in a few days after surgery.
