At EVA Joint replacement is entirely Safe.

We have been following government guidelines at Eva Hospital for a joint replacement ever since the COVID-19 outbreak. Although the virus may remain for some time, Spat has claimed this. Doctors, health workers, and hospital administrations have gone to lengths to allow patients to undergo those procedures under complete protection.

Surgeons take extreme care so that patients feel safe during treatment and are discharged as soon as possible. Caution is taken before surgery so that post-replacement procedures require minimal rehabilitation. For consultation and surgery, follow precautionary measures:

Revised safety protocol based on the guidelines of the Ministry of Health

Paramedics and patients wear full PPE

Strict sanitation and hygiene protocols for continuous sterilization

Patients are requested to visit the clinic alone unless a partner is required. Loved ones can wait in the car and come in if necessary.

Why arthritis patients should not postpone treatment

If you are suffering from joint pain, then postponing joint replacement surgery can worsen your health, according to Senior Orthopedics. If there is one lesson we all learned during the COVID-19 epidemic, then it is the importance of staying fit. People who have a chronic condition with age-old arthritis have difficulty walking, standing, and making normal movements. Lack of movement leads to weight gain, high blood pressure, and diabetes. These diseases further weaken the joints, causing a condition called osteoporosis. This makes the patient’s condition worse because he now has weak bones as well as weak bones and muscles. The weakness of bones causes instability and patients fall while walking. There are reported increases in the number of cases where patients come with hip or leg fractures.

Therefore, if anyone has difficulty walking, they should start their treatment as soon as possible, either with medication or arthroplasty.

It is a myth that hospitals are hot spots for COVID-19

This is the biggest myth. Had the hospital been a hot spot, the entire health care community would have been infected by now. Although the coronavirus pandemic is not yet over, the incidence in Ludhiana province has reduced drastically and cases are becoming less frequent. Corona is everywhere, but hospitals are the safest place because most precautions are being taken there. People are catching infections, where they are letting their guards into market places and grocery stores.

Long-lasting synthetic joints with technological advancement

Joint arthritis is accompanied by cartilage erosion and deformity of the joint. A complete joint replacement or reconstruction is the best option to give the patient constant pain relief.

The technique of prosthetic joints and their construction used in arthroplasty is constantly being enhanced. There are now new designs and methods for their incorporation with human tissues. Concurrently, improvements in traditional design and technologies have almost risen to the top.

At the moment, the life of an artificial joint is much longer and the expectancy is usually equal to that of the patient. Second surgeries are rarely required.

The Effect Of Hyper Mutated Omicron COVID Variant

The world is already suffering from the catastrophic effects of coronavirus, and the emergence of the Omicron COVID variant makes things worse. This harmful virus was detected on 26 November by #WHO in South Africa.

After that, this virus traveled to Hong Kong and other parts of the globe. With the detection of 10 more new cases of Omicron virus, the Omicron #virus count of India reaches 97. Due to this, the government is making every effort to convenience unvaccinated people to get vaccines soon.

Presently the UK is the country that is highly affected by the hyper mutated Omicron virus, with 11,710 total cases. The second comes in line with Denmark. 9,000 active cases.

The mutation of this virus is more complex than the previous virus of the SARS family; it is changing properties at a very fast rate and is a bit difficult for researchers to understand.

#Weakness, tiredness, fatigue, low fever and sore throat are some of the early symptoms of the newly identified Omicron virus. Each nation’s government is trying to control its spread by conducting testing at international airports and crowded public places.

It has been reported that Omicron virus has worse symptoms than its previous counterpart, i.e., delta virus. This virus has been detected in several states of India, including Maharashtra, Rajasthan, Kerala and #Punjab.

The latest news coming from Punjab state is that the first Omicron case was found in Chandigarh last Sunday in a two-year-old male who was returned from Italy in November. He was asked to stay in the home despite detecting any symptoms. His COVID-test was conducted in which the Omicron variant was confirmed on 11 December.

It is spreading at an unprecedented rate in Punjab. As per the stats, this virus will severely affect the population of Punjab in January and December 2022. According to the recent survey, around 603780 people got infected from COVID 19, and approximately 16,622 lost their lives. This count is quite high.

The spread of hyper mutated #Omicron COVID variants has stressed the election commission about how to plan for the upcoming elections of the Punjab assembly. On Wednesday, the chief election commissioner Sushil Chandra visited Chandigarh for 2 days election commissioner Rajiv Kuma to discuss Punjab assembly elections.

Given this, the Punjab health department decided to send around 300 #COVID samples to GMC Patiala after every 15 days. Before this, around 15 samples were already sent for examination. Also, the election commission has rolled up sleeves to take every measure to promote social distancing. Special training is being given to the district-level officers on maintaining adequate distance between the voters in the booth.

Chief electoral officer Karuna Raju said that about 25,000 booths in the state would be equipped with masks, PPE kits, sanitizers, and gloves. Also, votes will be appropriately screened on the entry gates, and the count of voters in the polling will be no more than the specified limit.

Raju also said separate exit and entry gates would be made to promote social distance. The entry to each voter will be given after proper thermal scanning and checking. Any person with a body temperature exceeding the ideal limit will not be permitted to enter the voting area and will be isolated instantly. However, they will be allowed to vote at the end wearing PPC kits.

The election commission is working hard to enforce political parties to follow the safety guidelines created by the health department. Also, it’s tying up with the Punjab Pollution Control Board to reduce the biomedical waste generated from the masks and gloves. The chief election commissioner said that the dedicated team would dispose of all the waste in one of the five waste treatment plants located in Pathankot, Amritsar, Ludhiana, Mohali and Muktsar.

India's Covid-19 catastrophe could hurt global supplies of medicines, clothing and shoes Prime Minister Narendra Modi has so far resisted calls to impose another total lockdown on the country, even as many regions have announced their own heavy restrictions. But several global industries that rely on India are looking on anxiously. Should the crisis deepen, everything from clothing and pharmaceuticals to financial services and global shipping could feel the pain. More than 200,000 of an estimated 1.7 million seafarers globally are from India, according to Guy Platten, the Secretary General at the International Chamber of Shipping. Many of them have officer ranks and roles requiring important skills, he added. “We hope to goodness” this situation can be resolved, Platten told CNN Business. Otherwise it could lead to big “shortage of seafarers,” which would “disrupt the global supply chain,” he added. As many countries have banned flights from India, it is already impossible to move Indian workers to ports around the world, and swap crews. René Piil Pedersen, head of Marine Relations at Maersk, the world’s largest container shipping company, hopes that countries start distinguishing between regular travelers and seafarers. Otherwise, he said, the world could face both a serious threat to global cargo flows, and a “humanitarian crisis,” because crews would not be able to leave their vessels and return home. “It will take a heavy toll on their mental welfare,” said Pedersen, whose company employs 30% of its seafarers from India. The pandemic threw global shipping into chaos last year, with nearly 200,000 seafarers stranded for months due to port closures and grounded airplanes. Some workers had started calling their vessels “floating prisons” — and Pedersen fears a return to that scenario if India’s Covid-19 crisis continues unabated. There are also significant delays in the movements of vessels. Some places, such as the United Arab Emirates, Singapore, Hong Kong and mainland China, “have already imposed strict quarantine restrictions for vessels arriving from Indian ports,” said Sankar Narayanan, manager for shipping at shipping and logistics company GAC India. Experts say vaccinating seafarers could be a solution, but that may prove to be hard to execute. Vaccines and other pharmaceuticals The world’s vaccination drive is already suffering because of the outbreak in India, which typically produces more than 60% of all vaccines sold globally. The country is home to the Serum Institute of India (SII), the world’s largest vaccine maker. Its vast manufacturing capability is why the country signed on as a major player in COVAX, the global initiative that provides discounted or free doses of the Covid-19 vaccine for lower-income countries. SII agreed last year to manufacture up to 200 million Covid vaccine doses for up to 92 countries. But, with only 2% of India’s population fully vaccinated, the government and SII have shifted focus from supplying vaccines to other countries, and are now prioritizing Indian citizens. The bad news doesn’t end there. Apart from the Covid vaccine shortage, there could be other consequences for the worldwide pharmaceutical industry if the spread of the infection in India is not controlled soon. India is the world’s largest supplier of generic drugs — copies of brand-name pharmaceuticals that have the same effects but cost less. In the United States, 90% of all prescriptions are filled by generic drugs and one in every three pills consumed is produced by an Indian generics manufacturer, according to an April 2020 study by the Confederation of Indian Industry and KPMG. But Indian drug makers get as much as 70% of their raw materials from China, a link in the supply chain that looks vulnerable given the coronavirus surge. At the end of April, China’s Sichuan Airlines suspended cargo flights to India for 15 days. That prompted India’s top pharmaceutical export group to write to India’s ambassador in Beijing, urging him to intervene. In the letter, Ravi Udaya Bhaskar, director general of the Pharmaceutical Export Promotion Council of India, termed the suspension “worrisome” — and said it could have a “cascading effect” on the supply chain. “Most countries depend on India for generic drugs, and India depends on China for raw material. It will be a big blow to [the] global pharma supply chain if trade between the two is disrupted,” said Tinglong Dai, associate professor of Operations Management and Business Analytics at the Johns Hopkins Carey Business School. For now, the impact seems limited. Bhaskar told CNN Business last week that there is currently no shortage of drugs, since big firms have enough raw material to tide them over the next three to four months. He also said that Sichuan Airlines was likely to resume service this week. Sichuan Airlines did not respond to a request for comment. Clothes India is one of the largest textile exporters in the world, and the industry is struggling with severe labor shortages. “This is the first time our generation has experienced something like this. No one was prepared for this dreadful scenario,” said Arpit Aryan Gupta, partner and new business development head at apparel manufacturer NG Apparels, which is in Ludhiana, Punjab, a big garment producing hub. The company, which supplies brands including New Balance and Nordstrom, employs about 100 skilled and semi-skilled workers, and nearly 50% of them have left since the latest Covid-19 surge began. Gupta said he is providing housing for remaining workers on site to keep the factory running. Elsewhere, manufacturers are staring at equally worrisome scenarios. In the major garment production hubs of Delhi and Bangalore — which are also states with a high number of Covid-19 infections — absenteeism among workers is as high as 50%, according to consulting firm Wazir Advisors. And for many manufacturers who are still recovering from last year’s slowdown, the safety of workers has become a huge concern. Domestic clothing industry consumption and exports last year fell by 30% and 24%, respectively, according to Wazir Advisors. “But for 2021, it is difficult to project right now as we are not sure by when this pandemic will end,” the firm added. India is also a major global exporter of leather and leather goods. The country is the second-largest exporter of leather garments and the fourth-largest exporter of leather goods in the world, according to the Indian Council for Leather Exports. It is also a major producer of footwear, after China, producing nearly three billion pairs of shoes annually. Last year, the pandemic dealt a serious blow to India’s leather industry, and businesses had just begun to recover before the latest wave led to massive shutdowns and a shortage of skilled staff. Financial services Big banks and accounting firms are scrambling to keep their online operations afloat, given how important India is as a hub for their back offices. Many companies have outsourced a huge number of information technology and operations jobs to India in recent decades, attracted by an educated workforce and cheaper labor costs. Almost 4.4 million people in the country are employed in IT and business process management, according to the National Association of Software and Service Companies, a trade body. Some companies are taking some measures to address the crisis, include shifting work to other countries, encouraging staff to work from home and extending project deadlines. Goldman Sachs (GS) and Wells Fargo (WFC), for example, have implemented remote work for all employees. But working from home during a pandemic is complicated, especially if employees have to look after sick relatives. There are also challenges around security and data protection, since employees may be handling sensitive company or customer information. UK banks Barclays (BCLYF), NatWest and Standard Chartered (SCBFF) are in some cases redirecting work to other countries to relieve pressure on employees in India, many of whom have fallen ill or have care responsibilities at home. EY India, which has over 56,000 workers, activated a business continuity plan at the start of the surge, which included shifting work to other geographies. Almost all of its employees are working from home, according to Julie Teigland, a regional managing partner. “A significant number of EY people and their family members have been directly impacted by the severe second wave of Covid in India,” she told CNN Business. — Parija Kavilanz and Hanna Ziady contributed to this report.

Gastrointestinal issues, nausea, loose stool, dry mouth were uncommon during first Covid phase

As Covid-19 cases continue to spread like wildfire  in India, health experts have said  the second wave of the deadly virus is proving lethal to the younger people who are showing entirely different symptoms such as dry mouth, gastrointestinal issues, nausea, loose stools, red eyes and  headache.

Besides, the  double mutant of the coronavirus which can’t be detected by the Covid-19 RTPCR test has symptoms  such as sore throat and fatigue. At the same time, a majority of symptom of the disease remain the same in the second wave. including fever, chills, body ache, loss of smell and taste, and loss of breath or respiratory complications.

Other symptoms which were not very common among Covid-19 patients in India last year, are being reported with greater frequencies. These symptoms are pink eyes, loose motions, and hearing impairment. For instance, studies have pointed out that if you have a prickly, itchy throat,  or if you feel some swelling, it can be indicators of a sore throat, which is one of the most common symptoms of Covid-19 infection. “This symptom has been seen in over 52 per cent of cases globally. It is better to start taking precautions,” said Dr GS Grewal from SAS Grewal  Multi-Super Speciality Hospital in Ludhiana.

Don’t believe in rumours against Covid-19 vaccine: Harsh Vardhan

NEW DELHI: As India gears up to launch world’s largest immunisation drive, Union health minister Harsh Vardhan on Saturday requested people to not pay heed to the rumours against the much-awaited vaccine. “I want to appeal to people to not believe in any rumors. Our prime criteria in the vaccine trial is the safety and efficacy and nothing will be compromised,” Vardhan told the reporters after reviewing the dry run at a government hospital here. In Delhi, mock-drives are being conducted at three sites — government-run Guru Teg Bahadur hospital in Shahdara, primary health centre in Daryaganj, and private Venkateshwara hospital in Dwarka. The Union Minister reminded that “different kinds of rumours were also spread during polio immunisation, but people took the vaccine and now India is polio-free”. Notably, coronavirus vaccine is slated to be soon rolled out. The Oxford-AstraZenaca vaccine has been recommended by the expert panel tasked with vetting Covid-19 vaccine proposals and has been forwarded to the Drug Controller General of India for approval. “The Drug Controller General of India will soon give its recommendation on the applications,” assured Vardhan. Once formalized, the vaccine — globally known as AZD1222 — will be the first silver bullet for the country, which has witnessed over one crore cases and nearly 1.5 lakh deaths till now. A mega-drill is being conducted in all the states and union territories across 259 sites on Saturday to equip the administration in management of vaccine supply, storage and logistics, including cold chain management. The objective of the dry run for Covid-19 vaccine introduction is to assess operational feasibility in the use of Co-WIN application in field environment, to test the linkages between planning and implementation and to identify the challenges and guide the way forward prior to actual implementation. Each mock drill site will have a waiting area, observation room and vaccination room. There are 25 beneficiaries — all health care workers — who will be present at each site and vaccination team will demonstrate how they will be registered, how vaccines will be given, and how they will be monitored for adverse events. On December 28 and 29, dry run for the Covid-19 vaccination was conducted in Krishna district of Andhra Pradesh; Rajkot and Gandhinagar district of Gujarat; Ludhiana and Shaheed Bhagat Singh Nagar of Punjab and Sonitpur and Nalbari districts of Assam.
