With Hip Replacement In 15 Minutes, Delhi Doctors Claim New World Record

Senior doctors at Fortis Escort Hospital in Delhi claimed to have created a world record regarding hip ball replacement surgery saying that it was completed in just 15 minutes 35 seconds.

The crucial surgery was performed on an 86-year-old woman last Friday and the surgery was completed by a team of doctors in just 15 minutes 35 seconds, the hospital authorities said.

Dr Kaushal Kant Mishra, Director of Orthopedic Sciences, performed this surgery breaking his own record. Earlier on February 11, 2021, Dr Mishra performed a similar surgery and completed it in 18 minutes and a few seconds.

"We had an 86-year-old patient who was admitted the day before yesterday night with a fracture. A few days later, she got an old cardiac problem and underwent angiography and angioplasty procedures," Dr Mishra told ANI.

"A stent was put in her heart around 18 years ago. When she came to us, we took the clearance from the cardiology side. Angiography was done again to check whether the heart was functioning properly or not. The results showed it was functioning only at 30 per cent," said Dr Mishra.

"We worked on her like robotic surgery and finished it as quickly as possible. And it was not to set a record, but our focus was on the need of the patient. We had to perform the surgery as quickly as possible because the patient was on dual integrated therapy and for angiography cardiologists give heparin which causes more bleeding during the surgery. But because the patient was in pain, and suffering for around four or five days, so we took the decision to go for surgery within an hour after the angiography. We performed the surgery in 15 minutes and 35 seconds and now the patient is out of danger," said Dr Mishra.

"I used to perform this kind of surgery in 20 to 25 minutes. The last record is also in my name, which was around 18 minutes and two seconds. But this time the whole team was ready and they've done it in accordance with the patient's condition and requirements," he said.

Dr Vijay Kumar, the director of intervention cardiology, added that the patient was given quite a lot of blood-thinning tablets.

"She went for the angiography, and it was done from one side and as there was a disease, but definitely it was not a life-threatening one, and could be fixed after the orthopaedic surgery. Many patients after surgery or during surgery, can get heart attacks and that was explained to the family," said Dr Vijay Kumar.

In this surgery, Dr Kaushal Kant Mishra along with his team and Dr Anuj from the anaesthesia department, Dr Vijay Kumar in the cardiologist team, and the nursing staff made this surgery successful, the hospital authorities said.

Government Bodies Told Don't Go To Media On Joshimath Without Permission

The National Disaster Management Authority (NDMA) and the Uttarakhand government have asked over a dozen government-run organisations and institutes and their experts not to make any unauthorised comment or statement on the situation in Joshimath.

In its communication to the heads of these organisations and institutes, the NDMA said people associated with them should not interact with the media and share data on social media regarding the ground subsidence in Joshimath, where cracks have developed in buildings and other infrastructure.

Official sources said the purpose of the advisory is not to deny information to the media but to avoid confusion because so many institutions are involved in the process and they are giving their own interpretation of the situation.

The NDMA said it has observed that various government institutions are releasing data related to the subject on social media platforms and also they are interacting with the media with their own interpretation of the situation.

The statements on Joshimath are creating confusion not only among affected residents but also among citizens of the country, the NDMA said.

It said the issue was highlighted during a meeting convened by the central government on January 12 and subsequently discussed at a meeting led by the NDMA on the same day.

The NDMA said an expert group has been formed for assessment of the ground subsidence in Joshimath in Uttarakhand.

The NDMA asked the organisations to sensitise its experts about the matter and added they should refrain from posting anything on media platforms until the final report of the expert group is released by the NDMA.

In a similar communication, the Uttarakhand government conveyed to the organisations that some of the institutions and agencies are publishing and uploading the information or reports about Joshimath without taking due permission from the competent authorities that is adversely impacting the ground situation as well as triggering panic among the community.

The Uttarakhand government said the ground subsidence around Joshimath has aggravated and the authorities are taking all necessary measures for the safety of habitation in the affected areas.

The state government has deployed team of experts from various scientific and technical institutions to assess the situation and providing the mitigation measures of the town.

The media is also propagating this blatantly, it said.

The communication said the organisations, before publishing or uploading any such reports or information, should obtain prior approval either from the respective central ministries or the Uttarakhand State Disaster Management Authority.

The NDMA directive has gone to the Central Building Research Institute (CBRI), Roorkee, Geological Survey of India (GSI), National Remote Sensing Centre (NRSC) of the ISRO, Hyderabad, Central Ground Water Board (CGWB), New Delhi, Surveyor General of India, Dehradun and Indian Institute of Remote Sensing, Dehradun.

The communication has also been sent to the National Geophysical Research Institute, Hyderabad, National Institute of Hydrology, Roorkee, Wadia Institute of Himalayan Geology, Dehradun, Indian Institute of Technology, Roorkee, National Institute of Disaster Management, New Delhi, Uttarakhand State Disaster Management Authority.

The Uttarakhand government sent the communication to the Geological Survey of India (GSI), Uttarakhand Space Application Centre, Wadia Institute of Himalayan Geology, Dehradun, Indian Institute of Remote Sensing, National Geophysical Research Institute, Central Building Research Institute, Indian Institute of Technology, Roorkee, National Remote Sensing Centre (NRSC) of the ISRO and National Seismological Centre, Dehradun.

Exclusive - World Needs A Leader Like India: Suriname President To NDTV

Suriname President Chandrikapersad Santokhi on Friday said the world needed a country like India to take the lead in resolving conflicts and raising the voice of the global south on a wider stage like the G20, reiterating his country's support for New Delhi's UN Security Council membership.

"India as chair of G20 is very important now, not only for G20 members but for so many other countries who don't have a seat and don't have a voice. PM Modi has initiated a very good strategy to include us all in the Voice of Global South Summit and take it to the G20 platform," he told NDTV in an exclusive interview.

"My country supports it (India's membership to the UN Security Council). India has shown the world its capacity and strength in the area of peaceful settlement of issues. India has shown the world that it's the world's largest democracy," he said.

"In the area of leadership, we have seen India is always historically following the path of peace and dialogue. And at this time when we do have turmoil and conflicts, you have to look for such a leader," President Santokhi said.

"Moreover, where we see a decline of the economy and a lot of countries are getting setbacks because of COVID-19 and war in Ukraine... I think Prime Minister Modi is the right man for this period to take the lead," he added.

President Santokhi said the "best result" of his visit this time was a deal on debt restructuring. "We will pay back the loans, but the current crisis has made my government seek support from the world. India has supported us and I want to express my sincere thanks for it," he said.

He said the Indian government had expressed its interest in cooperation with his South American country in not just maritime security but also blue economy. He expressed hope that India and Suriname will also partner in the technology and healthcare sectors.

The second Indian-origin person to be elected President of Suriname, Chandrikapersad Santokhi was the guest of honour at the 17th Pravasi Bharatiya Divas held in Indore this week.

He also attended the two-day Voice of Global South virtual summit organised by India to highlight concerns and challenges facing developing nations amid increasing geopolitical turmoil. India has said it plans to channel the concerns of the Global South into discussions at the G20 during its presidency.

Rajasthan Court's Observations In Murder Case "Unwarranted": Supreme Court

The Supreme Court on Friday termed as "absolutely unwarranted" and against "judicial discipline and propriety" certain observations made by the Rajasthan High Court in its verdict in a matter in which the top court had earlier confirmed the conviction of an accused in a murder case.

A bench of Justices M R Shah and S R Bhat said it was "not open" for the high court to make comments on the investigation or merits of the case when the conviction was already confirmed by the top court after hearing the counsel for the accused.

The bench noted the top court had earlier set aside an order commuting the death penalty of the accused to life imprisonment and remanded the matter to the high court to consider the question of sentence for murder.

It also noted that thereafter, after considering the aggravating and mitigating circumstances, the high court not only commuted the death penalty to life imprisonment, but made certain observations in its judgement, including the investigation.

"Judicial discipline requires that once the conviction was confirmed by this court that too after hearing the accused, the high court should not have thereafter made any comment on the merits of the case, more particularly, when the conviction was specifically confirmed by this court and the matter was remitted to the high court only for the purpose of considering the sentence," the bench said.

The top court passed the order on an appeal filed by the state against the May 2022 judgement of the high court which commuted the death penalty to life imprisonment.

The bench noted that the state is also aggrieved by certain observations made by the high court in one of the paragraphs of its verdict. It also noted the accused was earlier convicted in the case and the trial court had awarded him death penalty.

Later, the high court commuted the death penalty to life imprisonment and the state challenged it before the top court.

In its judgement, the Supreme Court noted the high court directed fresh investigation to book certain other accused whose DNA samples were obtained from the leggings of the victim in the case.

"....having gone through the impugned judgment and order passed by the high court, more particularly, the observations made in paragraph 42, we are of the opinion that the observations made by the high court in paragraph 42 are absolutely unwarranted and against the judicial discipline and propriety," the bench said.

"When this court earlier confirmed the conviction of the accused for the offence under section 302 IPC and that too after hearing senior advocate appearing on behalf of the accused, thereafter, it was not open for the high court to make comments upon the investigation and/or on merits of the case," it said.

The bench noted the high court ought not to have made the observation that certain aspects were not brought to the notice of the top court and conviction was upheld without hearing the side of the accused.

The top court said it is required to be noted that when it had passed the order remanding the matter for sentence and confirmed the conviction, it had heard the advocate appearing for the accused.

"Therefore, the high court is not right even factually in observing that this court confirmed the conviction without hearing the side of the accused on merits," it said, while setting aside the observations made by the high court.

Regarding the high court judgment commuting the death penalty to life imprisonment, the bench said it saw no reason to interfere with it.
