very important fundraiser for a very cool person whose life is really sucky right now. here is the instagram post.

TLDR (and also because it's very late at night and i am too tired to write image descriptions); Sanch (@/sleepysoyabean on ig) is an indigenous/Adivasi queer person from Assam, India who just got a breast cancer diagnosis and needs helps with their bills and expenses for the treatment, which includes a procedure called thoracentesis to remove fluid from their lungs, implementation of hormone blockers and the actual surgery plus chemo and radiation.

This fundraiser is being organised by their friend Rhea Mukherjee (@/rheealization on ig) and partner Ankur Gedam (@/da.lit.vegan on ig). The end goal to be met is about 5 lakh Indian Rupees, which is 6,071 usd. To make donations, please either scan the QR code provided, transfer directly to Ankur Rajesh Gedam on the UPI adress 8380032573@paytm, or DM either Rhea or Ankur on their Instagram handles.

Sanch has massively helped my understanding and learning of marxism, casteism, veganism and neglected sections of indian politics in general, and I'm sure she's helped with many other people's political awakenings and learnings as well. They have also been very helpful to lgbt+ Indians from abusive and queerphobic families and have organised fundraisers to provide housing, basic commodities, trans and queer-related healthcare to so many people. She really deserves as much help as she can get, and this is a very urgent and precarious situation. Even just 1 us dollar amounts to 82.36 Indian rupees in the current economy.

Radioactive Waste Disposal Failures

Radioactive waste is often distinguished from hazardous waste due to the unique hazards radiation can pose - and proper transport, treatment, and disposal of radioactive waste can be just as crucial, if not more so. Many examples exist of improper disposal of radiation sources/radioactive waste, including at Lake Karachay, Mayapure, and Goiânia.

Lake Karachay, in the Ural mountains in Russia, is currently considered to be one of the most radioactive places on Earth. In the 1950s, the Soviet Union used it as a dumping ground for radioactive waste. In the 1960s, when a drought dried up portions of the lake, radioactive dust and dirt spread from the region. Eventually, concrete blocks were added to prevent sediment shifting and, in 2015, the lake was completely backfilled, turning the entire thing into a permanent (and dry) nuclear waste storage.

In 2010, in Mayapuri, Delhi, India, a research irradiator that had been unused for decades was sold at auction to a scrap dealer - without disclosing the hazards involved. The cobalt-60 source was broken into pieces, and eight people were ultimately hospitalized, with at least one known death.

Finally, in Goiânia, Goiás, Brazil, unsecured radiotherapy equipment was stolen from an abandoned hospital in 1987. The equipment was dismantled and sold and, ultimately, four deaths resulted from the theft, on top of hundreds of people being exposed to the radiation.

Key Design Considerations for Pantograph Support Insulators in High-Speed Rail Systems

In the realm of high-speed rail systems, every component plays a crucial role in ensuring safe and efficient operations.  Among these components, pantograph support insulators stand out as critical elements that facilitate the seamless transmission of power from overhead lines to the train's electrical system.  As a leading pantograph insulator manufacturer in India, Radiant Enterprises recognizes the importance of meticulous design considerations in crafting reliable and durable insulators.  In this blog post, we'll explore the key design considerations essential for pantograph support insulators in 25 KV high-speed rail systems, shedding light on Radiant Enterprises' commitment to excellence in manufacturing.

Understanding Pantograph Support Insulators

Pantograph support insulators are integral components of the overhead electrification system in high-speed rail networks.  These insulators provide electrical isolation and mechanical support for the pantograph, which is the apparatus mounted on the train's roof responsible for collecting electricity from the overhead wires (catenary).  In 25 KV high-speed rail systems, where trains operate at exceptionally high speeds, the performance and reliability of pantograph support insulators are paramount.

Design Considerations for Pantograph Support Insulators

Material Selection:  The choice of materials significantly influences the performance and longevity of pantograph support insulators.  At Radiant Enterprises, we utilize high-quality, durable materials such as silicone rubber or composite polymers that exhibit excellent electrical insulation properties, mechanical strength, and resistance to environmental factors such as UV radiation, pollution, and temperature variations.

2.   Electrical Insulation:  Ensuring reliable electrical insulation is paramount to prevent electrical arcing and ensure the safe transmission of power.  Our pantograph support insulators are engineered to withstand high voltage levels (25 KV) and exhibit low electrical conductivity to minimize power losses and mitigate the risk of electrical faults.

3.   Mechanical Strength:  Pantograph support insulators are subjected to mechanical stresses induced by the pantograph's movement and external forces such as wind loads and vibrations.  Therefore, our insulators undergo rigorous mechanical testing to ensure they can withstand these forces without deformation or failure, ensuring uninterrupted operation and minimal maintenance requirements.

4.   Corrosion Resistance:  In outdoor environments exposed to moisture, pollution, and corrosive agents, corrosion resistance is essential to maintain the structural integrity of pantograph support insulators over their operational lifespan.  Our insulators are engineered with corrosion-resistant materials and undergo surface treatments to enhance their resistance to rust and degradation, ensuring long-term reliability and performance.

5.   Dimensional Accuracy:  Precision engineering is critical to ensure proper fit and alignment of pantograph support insulators with the overhead wires and the train's pantograph.  Our insulators are manufactured with tight tolerances and undergo strict quality control measures to guarantee dimensional accuracy and compatibility with the rail infrastructure, minimizing installation challenges and optimizing performance.

6.   UV Stability:  Exposure to ultraviolet (UV) radiation can degrade insulator materials over time, compromising their electrical and mechanical properties.  Therefore, our pantograph support insulators are formulated with UV-stabilized materials that withstand prolonged exposure to sunlight without degradation, ensuring reliable performance and longevity in outdoor applications.

Radiant Enterprises:  Your Trusted Pantograph Insulator Manufacturer in India

As a leading manufacturer of pantograph support insulators in India, Radiant Enterprises is committed to delivering superior quality products that meet the stringent requirements of high-speed rail systems.  Our state-of-the-art manufacturing facilities, coupled with a team of experienced engineers and quality assurance experts, enable us to design and produce pantograph insulators that excel in performance, reliability, and durability.

Conclusion

In the dynamic world of high-speed rail systems, the reliability and performance of pantograph support insulators are critical for ensuring safe and efficient operations.  By adhering to meticulous design considerations such as material selection, electrical insulation, mechanical strength, corrosion resistance, dimensional accuracy, and UV stability, manufacturers like Radiant Enterprises can deliver pantograph insulators that meet the demanding requirements of 25 KV high-speed rail systems.  As a trusted pantograph insulator manufacturer in India, Radiant Enterprises is committed to providing innovative solutions that contribute to the advancement of railway electrification technology and the seamless operation of high-speed rail networks.

Cancer in Men: Common Types, Symptoms, and Treatment Considerations

Cancer is a disease that occurs when abnormal cells grow and spread uncontrollably in the body. It can affect any organ or tissue, and it can cause various symptoms depending on the location and stage of the cancer. Cancer is among the leading causes of death in men worldwide, and some types of cancer are more common or more deadly in men than in women.

Some of the most common types of cancer in men are:

Prostate cancer: This is the most common cancer in men, affecting the prostate gland that produces semen. It usually grows slowly and may not cause any symptoms until it is advanced. Some possible signs include difficulty urinating, blood in urine or semen, erectile dysfunction, or pain in the lower back or pelvis.

Lung cancer: This is the leading cause of cancer death in men, often due to smoking or exposure to other lung irritants. It can affect one or both lungs and may cause symptoms such as coughing, chest pain, shortness of breath, wheezing, or coughing up blood.

Colorectal cancer: This is the third most common cancer in men, affecting the colon or rectum. It can cause symptoms such as changes in bowel habits, blood in stool, abdominal pain or cramps, weight loss, or fatigue.

Skin cancer: This is the most preventable type of cancer, usually caused by exposure to ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun or tanning beds. It can affect any part of the skin and may appear as a new or changing mole, a sore that does not heal, a red or scaly patch, or a growth that bleeds or itches.

Head and Neck cancers:  This is the most common cancer in men in India.  The biggest risk factor is chewing tobacco, drinking too much alcohol and HPV infections.  Tobacco use is the most common cause of head and neck cancers.

Other types of cancer that are common or serious in men include bladder cancer, kidney cancer, liver cancer, pancreatic cancer, testicular cancer, and leukaemia.

The treatment options for cancer depend on the type, stage, location, and overall health of the patient. Some of the common treatments include surgery, radiation therapy, chemotherapy, immunotherapy, targeted therapy, hormone therapy, and palliative care. The goal of treatment is to remove or destroy the cancer cells and prevent them from spreading or recurring.

The best way to prevent or detect cancer early is to adopt a healthy lifestyle and get regular screenings and check-ups. Some of the preventive measures include:

Avoiding tobacco use

Limiting alcohol consumption

Eating a balanced diet rich in fruits and vegetables

Maintaining a healthy weight

Being physically active

Protecting yourself from the sun

Getting vaccinated against certain viruses that can cause cancer

Getting screened for prostate cancer, lung cancer, colorectal cancer, and skin cancer according to your age and risk factors

Cancer can be a scary and challenging diagnosis for anyone. However, with proper care and support, many men can survive and thrive after cancer. If you have any concerns or questions about cancer, talk to your doctor or a trusted healthcare professional. They can help you understand your risk factors, symptoms, diagnosis, treatment options, and coping strategies. Remember that you are not alone in this journey, and that there are many resources and support groups available to help you and your loved ones. Cancer can be a tough opponent, but you can fight back with courage and hope.

Cancer awareness.

So last time someone asked me whether we celebrate Diwali or not I replied that we won't be this year since my uncle (my mother's brother) is on a ventilator. This was 11th November. On 13th November, my uncle passed away due to cancer.

Nobody knew he had cancer before. So let me take you on a journey of about four and a half months of cancer.

–July 2023.

So my uncle had a “wound” around his wisdom tooth. He was in pain and consulted a dentist 1. This dentist has done all the dental stuff in our family/relatives. A really good one. He said that it was an ulcer and it would be fine and gave some painkillers and other medicine to help it heal.

However, that did not work out and the pain only got worse. My uncle changed the doctor and went to the dentist 2. Now, this dentist is a well-known doctor and works in a very expensive hospital. And he has a clinic of his own. He said that they needed to extract the wisdom teeth. And after that, it will heal. So they did that.

The pain did not stop but it only got worse for even worse.

–August 2023.

When he did not get any relief, my uncle went to another hospital (which is one of the top hospitals in India). They did the scanning and we found out that he had stage 1 cancer in his mouth.

The doctors recommended he should get it operated and removed. So they did that. It was a shock for doctors that when they were operating on him, they found that it was not only in his mouth but in his throat as well. It looked like it started in the throat and its roots went towards his mouth.

They declared that it was not the first stage but the fifth stage of cancer.

Then his chemotherapy and radiation began. He was getting weaker quite faster since his upper jaw was operated on and he was on a liquid diet.

The treatment went on. He was fine at the beginning. Doing minor chores or taking himself to appointments. That did not last long.

–October 2023.

His health got worse and he was completely in bed. His breath would shorten even if went to the toilet which was just one step from his side. It would take minutes on minutes to get his breath at a normal rate.

It was around 14th October. We were there. My aunt helped my uncle bathe but things were not good. His breath was way too short and you could see his stomach getting sucked in when he was trying to breathe.

The next day was the day he was hospitalized.

The doctors said that his lungs were filled with water because of some infection which, to date, is not known.

They started taking out the water. They would fill many bottles every day. It was abnormal, to say the least, that there was that much water in his lungs.

–November 2023.

During that time, they took his bone marrow and tested it. Just to find out the cancer has spread in his bones as well. The doctors did another test whose results took almost a week to come back. The doctors said that if this test was positive, they can do another treatment which was basically the last thing they could do to save his life.

The test came out to be positive. And they prepared the injection. They took him to the ICU in order to keep him under observation for 24 hours according to the protocol of that injection.

This injection was supposed to extend his life by 2 years (maximum). This was an expensive injection costing ₹2,00,000 and this was to be given every three weeks.

Things didn't turn out well.

His health deteriorated. He already had a kidney problem for a long. His kidney doctors had asked him to buy a plot just in case they needed to perform a kidney transplant.

His creatinine increased dangerously and doctors suggested dylasis. They did that too. However, nothing worked and finally after two days, on 13th November, he took his last breath.

.

I made this post to share something that happened to us recently. Never have any of us thought this would happen to our close relatives/family. Cancer is a tricky thing.

The main fault was of Dentist 2 that he pulled his tooth out. Cancer attacks faster when it is touched. He should have taken cautionary steps while treating.

What's done is done. He can't come back and we hope he finds peace.

I just want to share this so you are aware of it. Always get proper tests done. Never take things lightly. Even if you see minor symptoms of anything, get it checked. I don't know what to say right now. But at least let's stay healthy and cautious.

Cancer is a sneaky nightmare. It took someone so close to us within a few months. It was a horrible and haunting thing.

I hope nothing like this happens to any of you. I love you guys so please let's stay healthy. Look after your friends, family, and yourself. Life is too short for regrets❤️.

Breast Cancer Awareness Month: Signs, Prevention and Treatment

Breast Cancer Awareness Month was started as a collaboration between the American Cancer Society and the now-defunct Imperial Chemical Industries’ pharmaceutical division, to promote mammography as the most effective weapon against breast cancer.

Today, it is an annual international health campaign organized by major organizations related to breast cancer to increase awareness of the disease and raise funds for research into its cause, prevention, diagnosis, treatment, and cure.

In 2020, there were 2.3 million cases of breast cancer, resulting in the deaths of 685,000 people globally. In India, 14% of cancer cases among women are breast cancer cases.

Contrary to popular belief, breast cancer isn’t solely restricted to women. In rare cases, men can be affected with breast cancer as well. It grows in the small amount of breast tissue men have behind their nipples.

To observe Breast Cancer Awareness Month, we will be dedicating this article to the signs, prevention and treatment of the disease.

Symptoms:

New lump in the breast or underarm (armpit).

Thickening or swelling of part of the breast.

Irritation or dimpling of breast skin.

Redness or flaky skin in the nipple area or the breast.

Pulling in of the nipple or pain in the nipple area.

Nipple discharge other than breast milk, including blood.

Any change in the size or the shape of the breast.

Pain in any area of the breast.

Symptoms in Men

A lump in the breast — this is usually hard, painless and does not move around within the breast

The nipple turning inwards

Fluid oozing from the nipple (nipple discharge), which may be streaked with blood

A sore or rash around the nipple that does not go away

The nipple or surrounding skin becoming hard, red or swollen

Small bumps in the armpit (swollen glands)

Prevention

Keep a healthy weight.

Be physically active.

Choose not to drink alcohol, or drink alcohol in moderation.

If you are taking, or have been told to take, hormone replacement therapy or oral contraceptives (birth control pills), ask your doctor about the risks and find out if it is right for you.

Breastfeed your children, if possible.

If you have a family history of breast cancer or inherited changes in your BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes, talk to your doctor about other ways to lower your risk.

Surgery. An operation where doctors cut out the cancer.

Chemotherapy. Using special medicines to shrink or kill the cancer cells. The drugs can be pills you take medicines given in your veins, or sometimes both.

Hormonal therapy. Blocks cancer cells from getting the hormones they need to grow.

Biological therapy. Works with your body’s immune system to help it fight cancer cells or to control side effects from other cancer treatments.

Radiation therapy. Using high-energy rays (similar to X-rays) to kill the cancer cells.

Filaantro understands the dangers of breast cancer. Filaantro, along with Child Help Foundation raises funds for patients dealing with breast cancer. If you or anyone you know is diagnosed with breast cancer, feel free to start a fundraiser on our website.

Thank you for reading this article. Make sure to share this article with all your friends and family members.

Bone Marrow Transplant (BMT) Treatment: Cost, Procedure, & Hospitals in India

Overview

The bone marrow is a brown, spongy material, found inside the bones, which is responsible for the production of red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets. Each of these has a specific function, which is vital for our existence. Red blood cells are responsible for carrying oxygen-rich blood to different parts of the body, white blood cells produce antibodies that help us to fight infections and platelets help in clotting, thereby helping to prevent unnecessary blood loss. When your bone marrow is not healthy, it is naturally going to impact the production of the blood cells and platelets, disrupting their normal functioning. In such cases, the patient requires a bone marrow transplant.

What is Bone Marrow Transplant?

Bone Marrow Transplant, commonly referred to as BMT, is a therapeutic intervention that works by replacing the damaged or diseased bone marrow of a patient with healthy stem cells, taken either from the patient's own body or from a suitable donor. Healthy stem cells are infused into the patient's body, to promote the growth and development of new cells.

Different Types of Bone Marrow Transplant

Bone marrow transplant is broadly classified into three different types. These are as under:

Autologous bone marrow transplant - The term 'auto' means self. An autologous transplant involves the infusion of the patient's own stem cells into their body. The procedure is recommended for patients who have to undergo a high dose or intensive treatment like chemotherapy that can destroy the healthy bone marrow. The doctors collect healthy bone marrow from the patient's body prior to the treatment and administer it back into the body after the treatment is finished. The procedure is also referred to as stem cell rescue.

Cost - 11 lakhs to 18.5 lakhs

Steps involved - Various steps involved in autologous bone marrow transplant include:

Collection of the stem cells - This may take several days, and is done by administering medications that increase the stem cell count. The stem cells are then collected and stored at a low temperature.

Treatment - Once the bone marrow has been collected, doctors can proceed with your treatment, be it Chemotherapy or Radiation therapy

Transfusion of stem cells - Once the procedure is complete, the stem cells are reduced in the patient's bloodstream

Allogeneic bone marrow transplant - The term 'allo' means other. Allogenic bone marrow transplant involves the use of tenses taken from a donor, whose genes partially match those of the patients. The eligibility of a person to be a donor is determined by performing a series of tests. Usually, the siblings of the patient are a good match. In some cases, the parents and children may also be suitable donors. Allogeneic bone marrow transplant is classified into three different types - complete matched sibling donor bone marrow transplant, haploidentical bone marrow transplant, and unrelated donor bone marrow transplant.

Cost - 19 lakhs - 28 lakhs

Steps involved - Various steps involved in allogeneic bone marrow transplant include:

Identification of donor - In order to perform an allogeneic bone marrow transplant, there is a need for a compatible donor. The compatibility is defined with the help of a series of tests.

Collection of stem cells - After finding a suitable donor, the stem cells will be collected. This is done by injecting medicines to increase the production of the stem cells and then collecting these from the donor's bloodstream.

Treatment - The free transplant treatment is performed and the patient's body is prepared for the introduction of stem cells.

Introducing the donor cells - The donor cells are transplanted into the patient's bloodstream, which may take about an hour.

Umbilical cord blood transplant

Umbilical cord blood transplant is a type of allogeneic transplant, which involves the administration of stem cells taken from the umbilical cord of a newborn baby, into the patient's body. The cells are collected at the time of birth and stored at a very low temperature, to be used later. The best thing about an umbilical cord blood transplant is that the blood cells are not mature enough, thereby negating the need for a perfect match. The recovery rate is comparatively slower however the procedure can come in handy when the patient cannot find a suitable donor.

5 Best Breast Cancer Treatment Hospitals in India

The most common physical sign of breast cancer is often a lump painless in most instances and painful in some. Regular breast screening is the best way to get rid of early-stage breast cancer an entirely treatable disease if diagnosed early, can be cured completely.

The average estimated number of deaths from breast cancer is almost more than 42000 in women and more than 500 in men last year. However, the average 10-year survival rate is 84% for invasive breast cancer patients when diagnosed at the right time. If the breast cancer has spread to other distant parts of the body, the average 5-year survival rate drops to 27% from 99% when the tumour is located only in the breast.

Cost of breast cancer treatment depends on the,

The hospital you choose to visit

The required length of stay in the hospital during the visit

The experience oncologists have in handling cancer patients

The required use of advanced technology for treatment and tests on a case by case basis.

The determination of the cost of breast cancer treatment also depends on the stage of the disease.

Hence, a good hospital can always be the first place to begin breast cancer treatment. Let us explore some of the best breast cancer hospitals in India through this article.
