[ek-ranjhaan]

She has not just been raped and murdered, she was very much tortured and brutalized like Nirbhaya. It is all over the Bengali news. I don't understand why no one is talking about this.

A 2nd year Respiratory Medicine in a well known government medical college in Kolkata, West Bengal, India is found in a semi-naked state and the college/ hospital called it a suicide.

I'm a MBBS student in second year. After reading about her, what crossed my mind is the amount of times she would have felt this fear, before this worst fear of hers eventually materialized.

"A young resident doctor was found dead in the seminar room of her medical college in Kolkata. Initial autopsy report suggests possible rape and murder."

As all are saying,

She wasn't walking the street at odd hours. She wasn't wearing clothes that were provocative. She wasn't loitering in dangerous neighbourhoods.

She was a resident doctor, looking for a place to rest in her own hospital.

She had been on duty and had gone to rest in the early hours of Friday.

The one place which was supposed to guarantee her safety failed her, miserably.

Someone comes, rapes a female pg who is merely resting in a seminar hall because there is no proper place for her to rest, brutalized her and kills her. How did NO one know? The college and police initially call it a suicide. Excuse me? It is also being said that under pressure from local politicians, the Principal and Dean attempted to alter the post-mortem report. Autopsy confirms sexual assault.

What are the actions taken? One man arrested because his behavior seemed "shady". This is clearly not an act of one man. And this was a very well aware of and a well executed criminal act.

Also, all this happening in WB right when the situation of bangladesh is in turmoil and news of Bangladeshi Hindus being killed and tortured, seems wrong, VERY WRONG. Happening right before NEET-PG, as 24 lakh doctors prepare to write an exam on Sunday to be resident doctors, this news has wrapped us all in agony and rage,

What are they working so hard for? Why should they aspire to be in a system that ignores their basic needs? The minimum requirement of a workplace is safety. That should be non-negotiable.

This profession demands extereme hardwork, a lot of mental strength and Physical Assaults, harassment, low paying jobs with odd working hours with intense humiliation. Now its the worst of all seeing a bright mind losing her life in the most disrespectful state of all. This should never happen to any woman.

I'd also like to question why isn't any big media house covering this news, where are all the international news channels all this time.

What are the students in other medical colleges doing? This talks about their own safety and lives. What are the medical students across the world doing? It's time for us to stand for the most basic Human right, safety.

Yesterday when my roommate, an MBBS final year intern was heading for her night posting, I feared and prayed for her to come back safely. Thinking about it, in a few years I will also have night posting, I'll also return from my hospital duties late at night. I'll also have to go through the same fear, and I'll also have to keep praying that my worst fears don't turn into reality. So many female doctors, nursing staffs, other Healthcare workers, other working women, non-working women go through the same fear, probably multiple times a day.

It is a shame to be born in such a disgusting world and society, it is shame to witness such a brutal crime, and it is a shame to live in this fear daily.

Those RAPISTS need to be hunged infront of the whole natio...if needed burned alive. People should fear the idea of raping, more than getting raped.

[sadaf-e-mohabbat]

I'm highly disturbed by the r*pe and m*rder which happened in RG KAR MEDICAL college... our society should be ashamed... Medical is a noble profession, but now a doctor is not safe in her own workplace... I hope people demand the strictest punishment for it rather than making this more of a political issue. I urge you to see how brutal and heinous this was. Security of doctors isn't a joke.. Medical is a great, reputed profession in India that demands your whole life, literally and figuratively. WHAT WAS HER FAULT!!??.. SHE WAS BRUTALLY KILLED!!!!! HOW TF IS A SEMINAR ROOM THAT UNSAFE!!??

Be angry. Be ashamed. Be disturbed.

We failed her as a society.

Doctors' Strike in West Bengal: 12/08/24

Rabindranath Tagore said:

অন্যায় যে করে আর অন্যায় যে সহে

তব ঘৃণা যেন তারে তৃণসম দহে।

So we are not going to remain silent. We will take to the streets and raise our voices. The authorities will listen to us, they have to

Didi, forgive us, we could not give you security. But we will give you justice.

One of the biggest rallies in Kolkata that was not called by any political party. Students, doctors, professors, citizens, everyone showed up.

Who will fight this battle? You and me, who else?

In the 5th century BCE, Sushruta, a renowned Indian surgeon, first identified diabetes by observing that diabetics’ urine attracted ants due to its sweetness. He noted that the condition primarily affected wealthier individuals and linked it to a diet high in rice and sweets.

[vyyom]

I don't know how many have you heard about the case that happened in the RGKar MCH.

Dr. Moumita Debnath, 2nd-year PGT, Dept. of chest medicine, former MBBS student of College of Medicine and JNM Hospital, Kalyani, was raped and murdered brutally on duty in the seminar hall.

Protests by government colleges of West Bengal are being held, but that's not enough because a doctor who is on duty faced such a heinous crime. The world isn't safe, and still, men dare to ask why women choose bears over men.

Sign this petition to bring some justice to Dr. Moumita Debnath.

[stfulara]

Rains are back, so are my mood to bake. Did very little studying over the past few days. My first year residency is coming to an end and it has begun to hit me about how little studying has been done. Clinically I have picked up a lot but I have so much to learn in terms of concepts and for theory.

[fatehbaz]

On May 28, 1914, the Institut für Schiffs-und Tropenkrankheiten (Institute for Maritime and Tropical Diseases, ISTK) in Hamburg began operations in a complex of new brick buildings on the bank of the Elb. The buildings were designed by Fritz Schumacher, who had become the Head of Hamburg’s building department (Leiter des Hochbauamtes) in 1909 after a “flood of architectural projects” accumulated following the industrialization of the harbor in the 1880s and the “new housing and working conditions” that followed. The ISTK was one of these projects, connected to the port by its [...] mission: to research and heal tropical illnesses; [...] to support the Hamburg Port [...]; and to support endeavors of the German Empire overseas.

First established in 1900 by Bernhard Nocht, chief of the Port Medical Service, the ISTK originally operated out of an existing building, but by 1909, when the Hamburg Colonial Institute became its parent organization (and Schumacher was hired by the Hamburg Senate), the operations of the ISTK had outgrown [...]. [I]ts commission by the city was an opportunity for Schumacher to show how he could contribute to guiding the city’s economic and architectural growth in tandem, and for Nocht, an opportunity to establish an unprecedented spatial paradigm for the field of Tropical Medicine that anchored the new frontier of science in the German Empire. [...]

[There was a] shared drive to contribute to the [...] wealth of Hamburg within the context of its expanding global network [...]. [E]ach discipline [...] architecture and medicine were participating in a shared [...] discursive operation. [...]

---

The brick used on the ISTK façades was key to Schumacher’s larger Städtebau plan for Hamburg, which envisioned the city as a vehicle for a “harmonious” synthesis between aesthetics and economy. [...] For Schumacher, brick [was significantly preferable] [...]. Used by [...] Hamburg architects [over the past few decades], who acquired their penchant for neo-gothic brickwork at the Hanover school, brick had both a historical presence and aesthetic pedigree in Hamburg [...]. [T]his material had already been used in Die Speicherstadt, a warehouse district in Hamburg where unequal social conditions had only grown more exacerbated [...]. Die Speicherstadt was constructed in three phases [beginning] in 1883 [...]. By serving the port, the warehouses facilitated the expansion and security of Hamburg’s wealth. [...] Yet the collective profits accrued to the city by these buildings [...] did not increase economic prosperity and social equity for all. [...] [A] residential area for harbor workers was demolished to make way for the warehouses. After the contract for the port expansion was negotiated in 1881, over 20,000 people were pushed out of their homes and into adjacent areas of the city, which soon became overcrowded [...]. In turn, these [...] areas of the city [...] were the worst hit by the Hamburg cholera epidemic of 1892, the most devastating in Europe that year. The 1892 cholera epidemic [...] articulated the growing inability of the Hamburg Senate, comprising the city’s elite, to manage class relationships [...] [in such] a city that was explicitly run by and for the merchant class [...].

In Hamburg, the response to such an ugly disease of the masses was the enforcement of quarantine methods that pushed the working class into the suburbs, isolated immigrants on an island, and separated the sick according to racial identity.

In partnership with the German Empire, Hamburg established new hygiene institutions in the city, including the Port Medical Service (a progenitor of the ISTK). [...] [T]he discourse of [creating the school for tropical medicine] centered around city building and nation building, brick by brick, mark by mark.

---

Just as the exterior condition of the building was, for Schumacher, part of a much larger plan for the city, the program of the building and its interior were part of the German Empire and Tropical Medicine’s much larger interest in controlling the health and wealth of its nation and colonies. [...]

Yet the establishment of the ISTK marked a critical shift in medical thinking [...]. And while the ISTK was not the only institution in Europe to form around the conception and perceived threat of tropical diseases, it was the first to build a facility specifically to support their “exploration and combat” in lockstep, as Nocht described it.

The field of Tropical Medicine had been established in Germany by the very same journal Nocht published his overview of the ISTK. The Archiv für Schiffs- und Tropen-Hygiene unter besonderer Berücksichtigung der Pathologie und Therapie was first published in 1897, the same year that the German Empire claimed Kiaochow (northeast China) and about two years after it claimed Southwest Africa (Namibia), Cameroon, Togo, East Africa (Tanzania, Burundi, Rwanda), New Guinea (today the northern part of Papua New Guinea), and the Marshall Islands; two years later, it would also claim the Caroline Islands, Palau, Mariana Islands (today Micronesia), and Samoa (today Western Samoa).

---

The inaugural journal [...] marked a paradigm shift [...]. In his opening letter, the editor stated that the aim of Tropical Medicine is to “provide the white race with a home in the tropics.” [...]

As part of the institute’s agenda to support the expansion of the Empire through teaching and development [...], members of the ISTK contributed to the Deutsches Kolonial Lexikon, a three-volume series completed in 1914 (in the same year as the new ISTK buildings) and published in 1920. The three volumes contained maps of the colonies coded to show the areas that were considered “healthy” for Europeans, along with recommended building guidelines for hospitals in the tropics. [...] "Natives" were given separate facilities [...]. The hospital at the ISTK was similarly divided according to identity. An essentializing belief in “intrinsic factors” determined by skin color, constitutive to Tropical Medicine, materialized in the building’s circulation. Potential patients were assessed in the main building to determine their next destination in the hospital. A room labeled “Farbige” (colored) - visible in both Nocht and Schumacher’s publications - shows that the hospital segregated people of color from whites. [...]

---

Despite belonging to two different disciplines [medicine and architecture], both Nocht and Schumacher’s publications articulate an understanding of health [...] that is linked to concepts of identity separating white upper-class German Europeans from others. [In] Hamburg [...] recent growth of the shipping industry and overt engagement of the German Empire in colonialism brought even more distant global connections to its port. For Schumacher, Hamburg’s presence in a global network meant it needed to strengthen its local identity and economy [by purposefully seeking to showcase "traditional" northern German neo-gothic brickwork while elevating local brick industry] lest it grow too far from its roots. In the case of Tropical Medicine at the ISTK, the “tropics” seemed to act as a foil for the European identity - a constructed category through which the European identity could redescribe itself by exclusion [...].

What it meant to be sick or healthy was taken up by both medicine and architecture - [...] neither in a vacuum.

Tagging all the Kolkata bashis and Bengalis on Tumblr that I know: @jukti-torko-golpo @amar-hiyar-majhe @numpypandas @curtwilde @shnigamiryuk @haunteddreamersoul

Tomorrow, at 4 p.m, there will be a gono michhil from College Square to R G Kar in protest of what happened in RGK.

The mass rally is open for all citizens. Please show up if you can! We strongly suspect that the ACTUAL culprits are still at large and the investigation so far is a cover up. If the culprits manage get off even after committing such a heinous crime involving rape and murder, it will spell doom for many women practising medicine. I am not exaggerating when I say that it's literally a matter of life and death for us female doctors. We hope and pray for your solidarity in these dark times

Understanding Dexketoprofen Trometamol - Uses and Benefits

The field of pain management has evolved significantly with the advent of various analgesics designed to alleviate acute and chronic pain.  Among the most effective non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) is Dexketoprofen Trometamol.  This fast-acting pain reliever has been extensively used in treating musculoskeletal pain, dental pain, and post-operative discomfort, providing relief without the high risk of dependency that accompanies some stronger painkillers.

In this blog, we will delve deep into the uses, benefits, and broader applications of Dexketoprofen Trometamol, particularly focusing on the 25 mg oral solution.  We will also explore its role in the pharmaceutical industry in India and discuss why it has become a vital product for medicine manufacturers and suppliers in India.

What is Dexketoprofen Trometamol?

Dexketoprofen Trometamol is a potent NSAID used to relieve mild to moderate pain.  It is the trometamol salt of dexketoprofen, which is the active enantiomer of ketoprofen.  This drug works by inhibiting the synthesis of prostaglandins, which are compounds in the body responsible for causing inflammation, pain, and fever.

One of the standout qualities of Dexketoprofen Trometamol is its quick onset of action.  Its oral formulation begins working within 30 minutes, making it a go-to option for fast pain relief.  Due to its effectiveness and minimal side effects, it has found wide acceptance in the medical community.

Many women suffer from severe menstrual cramps, which can severely impact their daily lives.  Dexketoprofen Trometamol provides rapid relief, helping to alleviate cramps and associated symptoms such as back pain and headaches.

Migraines are known for their debilitating impact on individuals, with symptoms ranging from intense headaches to nausea and sensitivity to light.  Dexketoprofen Trometamol has proven to be effective in managing migraine symptoms, offering quick relief from pain and associated discomforts.

2.         Effective Pain Relief

Dexketoprofen Trometamol is highly effective in managing various types of pain, including musculoskeletal pain, dental pain, and post-operative pain.  It's ability to inhibit the production of prostaglandins ensures that inflammation and pain are kept in check.

Compared to other NSAIDs, Dexketoprofen Trometamol is known for causing fewer gastrointestinal side effects.  While no drug is entirely free from potential side effects, this medication is considered to have a safer profile when used under proper medical guidance.

4.         Versatility in Treatment

From migraines to dental pain, and from musculoskeletal pain to menstrual cramps, Dexketoprofen Trometamol has proven effective in a wide range of painful conditions.  Its versatility makes it an essential tool in pain management for both acute and chronic conditions.

We are home for the festival. I had Diwali day off and took 2 days of leave. Took a flight to get extra time home. Slept for 10 hours and started reading neuro anatomy. Meeting my cat after 2 months. She doesn’t recognise me anymore but she comes in for cuddles. I am contented with the fact that she is still happy and taken care of by my parents like they took care of me as a kid. Not forgetting to mention that the baby cat is also all grown up and thriving.
