Morning MEDtalks with Dr K K Aggarwal

New Delhi, July 18, 2018 :

Around the Globe

  1. The Narendra Modi government is determined to see the contentious National Medical Commission (NMC) Bill pass, expected to be tabled in Parliament during the upcoming Monsoon Session
  2. A major reason these students were able to get admission in medical colleges, despite their poor marks, is the revised NEET notification issued by the MCI that does not make it mandatory for candidates to score minimum 50 per cent marks (or 40 per cent for reserved category) in individual subjects.
  3. Over the past three years, 27 percent of physicians’ report facing sexual harassment from patients, according to a survey conducted by Medscape.
  4. World News: The CDC and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration are investigating a multistate outbreak of Vibrio parahaemolyticus. According to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention website, the outbreak is linked to eating fresh crab meat imported from Venezuela.
  5. There is growing evidence that mood disorders (bipolar disorder) may be related to overall inflammation and to changes in the microbiome, the bacteria that live in our digestive tract.
  6. The Delhi High Court today directed the Indian Air Force (IAF) to review and change its protocols dealing with issues of stress and substance abuse in the force. The bench disapproved of the manner in which the IAF had kept a 30-year-old corporal confined in a hospital’s psychiatric ward as he was an alcoholic. We want to make sure the IAF does not think that the Mental Health Act does not apply to it.
  7. Sir Richard Hadlee faces another cancer surgery within two months, after confirmation a secondary cancer has been detected in his liver. New Zealand’s greatest cricketer, 67, underwent bowel cancer surgery in May.
  8. Exercising during chemotherapy may improve treatment outcomes for cancer patients, according to a recent pilot study at a dedicated cancer hospital in Sydney. Cancer patients in the pilot study were given their chemotherapy drugs while riding exercise bikes. The team hopes that long-term, exercising during the actual infusion process will show benefit to patients by increasing the blood flow to tumours.

About Vibrio parahaemolyticus

is a gram-negative bacterium that can cause seafood-associated diarrheal illness; it has also been associated with wound infections and septicemia. Gastroenteritis often occurs in the setting of mishandling and/or cross-contamination of seafood after cooking.

Clinical manifestations include diarrhea, abdominal cramps, nausea, vomiting, and fever. Wound infections associated with exposure of wounds to estuarine waters can be severe in the setting of liver disease, alcoholism, or diabetes. V. parahaemolyticus can also cause septicemia, particularly in individuals with underlying liver disease (as with other Vibrios).

Treatment is tetracycline or fluoroquinolone.
