We have heard of Valentine’s Day, Daughter’s Day, Father’s Day, but do you know when we celebrate Doctor’s Day in India? It’s celebrated today, i.e. on 1st July every year, on the birth date of the legendary physician Dr Bidhan Chandra Roy. 
 
#ThankYouDoctor is already trending on Twitter as Indians from around the world are openly recognizing the difference physicians have brought to their lives. However, while thanking doctors is good, we feel it is also important to pay a tribute to medical apps that have made a difference in our everyday lives. And according to us, these are the 5 medical apps, which we believe have revolutionized the healthcare industry. Take a look! 
 
Practo 
Practo allows one to search and book appointments with doctors registered on it. One could search based on specialty or name, check the doctor’s qualifications, consultation fees and feedback from previous patients and then book appointments from his/her smartphone. 
Currently, there are around 1,25,000+ verified doctors and clinics across major Indian cities like Bangalore, Hyderabad, Delhi, Mumbai, Pune, Kolkata, Chennai and so on. 
 
The best thing – you could get reminders for upcoming appointments so you don’t miss any. It’s also integrated with Uber. That means you could get an Uber cab near your place to drive to the nearest clinic. 
 
The app is available for free on Android and iOS. 
 
Lybrate 
With Lybrate you could chat with doctors, find health tips from them, get opinions from multiple physicians and book appointments with doctors in your city. 
 
One can also use it to learn about prevalent diseases and endemics in his/her area, and manage health records. Just click a photo and upload your documents on the cloud to access those anytime anywhere. 
 
The company has more than 80,000 certified doctors available in Delhi NCR, Mumbai, Chennai, Kolkata, Pune, Bangalore, Hyderabad, Chandigarh, and other major cities of India. 
 
The app is available for free on Android and iOS. 
 
1mg 
1mg allows you to know more about the medicines prescribed to you. This includes any possible side-effects or substitutes. 
 
The app maintains a sizeable record of 1,00,000+ medicines. Substitutes can even be 90% cheaper than what you have been prescribed! 
 
You could also order Allopathic medicines, Homeopathic pills, Cancer and other Speciality drugs via the app and earn up to 15% discounts. The ordering service is currently available only in Delhi, Faridabad, Ghaziabad and Noida. You could also book diagnostic tests and save around 30%. 
 
The app is available for free on Android, iOS and Windows. 
 
MediSafe Meds &amp; Pill Reminder 
MediSafe is a pill reminder and meds management app. It’s simple and effective. One can add and track the progress of a medication here in a jiffy. 
 
The app will not only remind you when to take your medicines, it will also send alerts to your family member or caretaker in case you forget to check in. That will make sure they remind you, and never miss a medication ever again. 
 
The app is available for free on Android and iOS. 
 
Blood Pressure (My Heart) 
This one helps keep your blood pressure in check and deal with hypertension. One can use the app to store and analyze blood pressure measurements. It also generates ancillary information which can be directly sent to the doctor via auto-generated reports. 
 
However, don’t make the mistake of believing that the app can measure your blood pressure. You’ll still need the pressure gauge for that. 
 
The app is available for free on Android.

Day: 5 must-have medical apps for your phone

<ul><li>The film revolves around a frontline doctor, who is also a mother.</li><li>It is conceptualised by <keyword id="2805202" type="COMPANY" weightage="20" keywordseo="Dentsu-Webchutney">Dentsu Webchutney</keyword>.</li></ul>Tanishq has launched its latest film to celebrate the commitment of the healthcare community, this National Doctor’s Day. The film pays an ode to the Doctors for working tirelessly in the wake of the pandemic, and their families who have supported them through this crisis. Written and conceptualized by Dentsu Webchutney, the film revolves around a frontline doctor, who is also a mother. Through the pandemic, she has been taking care of countless families and attending to the patients tirelessly and dutifully. With mentally and emotionally grueling hours spent at the hospital in hope to save lives often made her stay away from her own. As the film unfolds, viewers see heartwarming mother-daughter relationship take the center stage, and the brand plays a special role in helping the mother express her love to her daughter and further strengthen their bond, even as she continues to fight on the frontlines. With this film, Tanishq pays a heartfelt tribute to the extraordinary strength of doctors and a resounding thanks to the entire medical community fighting for our safety in the time of Covid-19. At the heart of the campaign is Titan’s commitment to the healthcare community. Through Project Rahaat the brand is providing medical equipment and infrastructure to help the healthcare workers fight the pandemic and has supported 13 public spirited hospitals across the country with oxygen and critical hospital infrastructure to battle Covid-19. <div type="Youtube" id="uRF-395kHXg" title="A salute to our Doctors | Tanishq" thumbUrl="https://i.ytimg.com/vi/uRF-395kHXg/mqdefault.jpg"></div> Speaking about the launch of the film, Ranjani Krishnaswamy, General Manager – Marketing, Tanishq, <keyword id="2028078" type="COMPANY" weightage="20" keywordseo="Titan-Company-Limited">Titan Company Limited</keyword> said, “Many of our consumers who come from the medical community have been bravely weathering the storm since last year, helping us feel safe one day at a time. While we wanted to honor their resilient and relentless spirit, we also wanted to pause and applaud the unconditional support offered by their families. It requires immense strength, courage, and selflessness to let your loved ones battle it out every single day for the greater well-being of others in need. This film is our humble salute to all such doctors and their inspiring families.” Spearheading ‘Project Rahat’, Mr. NE Sridhar Head– Corporate Sustainability, Titan Company Limited had a message to the medical community, “Thank you for saving precious lives. While we may not be with you directly, we can only enable you, ease your work in a small way through many interventions in the areas of oxygen availability enhancement, augmenting critical care facilities and infrastructure” Binaifer Dulani, Creative Director, Dentsu Webchutney said, “The narrative spun around the medical community often refers to them as superheroes - but when we do that, we fail to acknowledge that they are also human. Through this pandemic they have constantly had to put us and our families ahead of their own, and that is an emotionally draining decision to make. This film tries to show a real relationship between a mother who is a doctor-frontliner and her daughter, and through it helps us all empathize with the medical community.” The film was shot with a small crew, adhering to all safety guidelines.

Tanishq's latest campaign celebrates the commitment of the healthcare community before Doctor's Day

<ul><li>Vicks is back with #TouchOfCare campaign. </li><li>This time, it honours our Doctors’ Community through the moving Story of the late Dr. Bhosale.</li></ul> Vicks has launched the third edition of its iconic #TouchOfCare campaign series, on the eve of National Doctors’ Day 2021. The past year has been challenging for many, and it is our Doctors who have carried us on their shoulders of hope, by selflessly caring for us, and our loved ones. The third edition of #TouchOfCare, a tribute to the Doctors’ community across the nation, underscores the powerful impact of care through the real-life extraordinary story of the late Dr. Dnyaneshwar Bhosale. The film takes viewers on the inspiring journey of Dr. Bhosale’s selfless acts of care, as he left no stone unturned to ensure many less fortunate children received life-saving medical attention during the pandemic. Gone too soon, Dr. Bhosale left behind his wife, kids and his dreams of building his own pediatric hospital. The film is a solemn reminder that like Dr. Bhosale, hundreds of doctors lost their lives during the pandemic leaving their families and dreams behind. In addition to sharing Dr. Bhosale’s inspiring story, Vicks has also pledged to support Mrs. Bhosale to help build a pediatric hospital in memory of her husband's extraordinary acts of care. Committed to making a meaningful difference and step up as a #ForceforGood, Vicks continues to support India’s fight against Covid-19 through P&amp;G’s Suraksha initiative. Under this initiative, P&amp;G recently contributed towards 1 million vaccination doses for 5 lakh citizens in partnership with state governments and local authorities. <div type="Youtube" id="NHflsJrXKaI" title="Vicks - Care Lives On #TouchOfCare" thumbUrl="https://i.ytimg.com/vi/NHflsJrXKaI/mqdefault.jpg"></div> Dr. Priyanka Dnyaneshwar Bhosale, Wife of the late Dr. Dnyaneshwar Bhosale shared, “It was difficult to see my husband take his last breath and my prayer then was that somehow he would receive the healing hand of care just like the one he selflessly extended to many children. I thank Vicks for bringing to light my husband’s extraordinary work and inspiring story and joining me to keep his dream of building a children’s hospital in Latur alive so his memory and touch of care live on forever.” Himanshu Tewary, Senior Director and Category Head, Personal Healthcare at <keyword id="6361491" type="COMPANY" weightage="20" keywordseo="Procter-Gamble">Procter &amp; Gamble</keyword> said, “Our doctors have given a new meaning to humanity during these challenging times, and their selflessness deserves lifelong gratitude. Vicks #TouchOfCare is a reminder of the extraordinary acts of care, courage and bravery of each one of our doctors, those with us, and those who we have lost. As a society, it’s time to rise together and give back to our doctors’ community for all they have done for us and our loved ones by preserving their #TouchOfCare for generations to come.” The film’s Director, Anand Gandhi, “Dr. Dnyaneshwar Bhosale dreamed of building robust, empathetic systems of care and medicine. This film is a glimpse into the vision and commitment that he had for his community. It’s a call to togetherness, a reminder of the selflessness of all our healthcare workers during this time. I am grateful to the people at Vicks and <keyword id="4358739" type="COMPANY" weightage="20" keywordseo="Publicis-Singapore">Publicis Singapore</keyword> for getting me on board to bring this story to life.” Ajay Thrivikraman, CCO, Global Clients, Publicis Singapore commented, “Vicks Touch of Care has always been a platform to shine a spotlight on the most vulnerable communities in our society. Just over a year ago, one would hardly have expected our doctors to be among them, but this pandemic has changed everything. It has been an incredibly difficult time for doctors and their loved ones. It’s humbling to see that their care for others is more than a lifetime commitment; it is a legacy that will live on into the future.” In 2017, #TouchOfCare 1 showed how through care, families are formed beyond biological ties, breaking stereotypes and highlighting how motherhood has no gender through the story of an orphan, Gayatri and her transgender mother Gauri Sawant. In 2018, #TouchOfCare 2 brought to light the story of Nisha, a girl born with Ichthyosis - a genetic skin condition who was abandoned by her biological parents at birth. Her life took a positive turn with the unconditional love and care extended by her adoptive parents.

Vicks' latest Touch of Care campaign is about keeping Dr. Bhosale's dream alive, who lost his life to COVID-19

<ul class="summary-list"><li>A baby contracted monkeypox in August, likely from contact with an infected caregiver.</li><li>The two had "daily close contact" for several weeks before the child showed any signs of infection.</li></ul>In August, a two-month-old baby showed up at a Florida emergency room with a raised, red rash present on its arms, legs, and trunk. Doctors weren't sure what was going on with the child, and their routine tests for bacterial causes of the rash, as well as viruses including chickenpox, HIV, and herpes all came back negative. When the baby returned to the ER two days later, that rash — now a week old — had developed into pox-like lesions all over the infant's body, and many of the bumps had a distinctive dot in the center of them.This must be molluscum contagiosum, the providers thought. It's a relatively common <a href="https://www.cdc.gov/poxvirus/molluscum-contagiosum/risk.html">childhood infection</a> transmitted <a href="https://www.cdc.gov/poxvirus/molluscum-contagiosum/index.html">via skin to skin contact,</a> which doesn't typically require much treatment.But over the next few days, the baby's bumps began to fill with pus. The pox spread over the child's back, the soles of their feet, face, and eyelids. The providers decided to perform a different <a href="https://www.cdc.gov/poxvirus/monkeypox/testing/testing-basics.html">test, which confirmed, 10 days after the rash initially surfaced: this is actually monkeypox</a>.The case study, described in a <a href="https://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes/71/wr/mm7138e3.htm?s_cid=mm7138e3_x">new report</a> from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) on Monday, provides vivid new details about how monkeypox can develop and present on a newborn baby's body. Analyzing the case, CDC officials explain how the newborn contracted the virus, and emphasize that this is a rare event in the current outbreak. <h2>The child was treated with antivirals and antibodies</h2>The infant, whose name and gender were not published to protect the child's identity, received both the antiviral drug tecovirimat (TPOXX) and an IV drip of disease-fighting antibodies (called immune globulin, or IVIG).The child did not develop a fever, "tolerated the treatments well, and fully recovered," CDC disease investigators said <a href="https://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes/71/wr/mm7138e3.htm?s_cid=mm7138e3_x">Monday in their new report</a>. Pediatric monkeypox infections like this one have been exceedingly rare in the current outbreak. Only <a href="https://www.cdc.gov/poxvirus/monkeypox/response/2022/demographics.html">27 monkeypox infections</a> have been diagnosed nationwide in children under the age of 16 years old since the US monkeypox outbreak began in the spring — that's a tiny fraction of the nearly <a href="https://www.cdc.gov/poxvirus/monkeypox/response/2022/us-map.html">23,500 monkeypox cases</a> that have been officially documented so far. <h2>What 'close contact' really means: daily care, holding, and sleeping side by side</h2>In this case, the baby likely got monkeypox from very close, sustained, daily contact with one of its four main caregivers.The man, identified only as "Caregiver B" in the new CDC report, had developed a fever, blood in his urine, as well as a rash visible on his body during the three week period before the baby developed any symptoms. During that time, the baby shared bed linens with Caregiver B, slept alongside him, and had sustained, skin-to-skin contact from being held and cared for every day.Caregiver B tested positive for an orthopox virus (that's <a href="https://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes/71/wr/mm7123e1.htm#:~:text=During%20this%20outbreak%2C%20a%20positive%20test%20result%20for%20an%20Orthopoxvirus%20at%20an%20LRN%20laboratory%20is%20presumed%20to%20be%20monkeypox">likely also monkeypox</a>) two days after the baby tested positive. As Dr. Daniel Pastula, a professor of neurology, infectious disease and epidemiology at The University of Colorado and Colorado School of Public Health, <a href="https://www.insider.com/pictures-monkeypox-lesions-rashes-body-parts-skin-tones-2022-9">previously told Insider</a>, monkeypox can spread between people who are in very close physical contact with one another, whether the contact is sexual in nature or not.None of the baby's three other caregivers got sick with monkeypox. They all received <a href="https://www.insider.com/do-you-need-monkeypox-vaccine-how-to-decide-2022-8">the Jynneos vaccine</a>, and as of 22 days later, none of them have contracted the virus.

A newborn's mysterious rash stumped ER doctors for days. It turned out to be monkeypox.

Schulenberg had seen Prince twice - once the day before his death on April 20 and on April 7, the day the singer canceled an Atlanta concert. According to&#xa0;the police filing, Schulenberg ran tests and prescribed medication for an undisclosed ailment, the <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2016/05/11/arts/music/princes-doctor-arrived-with-test-results-only-to-find-him-dead.html?_r=1" target="_blank">New York Times</a>&#xa0;reported.When Schulenberg returned on April 21 to Prince's Paisley Park estate to deliver the test results, he found out that the singer had been pronounced dead.The police filing by a Carver County Sheriff's investigator sought a warrant for medical records from&#xa0;North Memorial Medical Center, part of the health organization where Schulenberg had previously worked. The Times reported that Schulenberg has a clean medical performance record."That shouldn't be a surprise to anybody that these records were examined," Carver County chief deputy Jason Kamerud <a href="http://www.latimes.com/nation/la-na-prince-search-warrant-prescription-drugs-20160510-snap-story.html" target="_blank" data-track="Body Text Link: External">told</a> the Los Angeles&#xa0;Times about the warrant.Meanwhile, police cars were seen back on Prince's estate on Tuesday afternoon.

"I didn't want to give any information that might steer the course of illness in another direction, and in doing so, came off as if we were trying to hide something, which wasn't necessarily true. He is doing really well and...if everything continues to go well, we're going to start discharge plans back to the White House."This revelation would support statements made by White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows the day before, on Saturday, regarding Trump's condition as he battles the coronavirus.Meadows said that Trump experienced a "very concerning" period on Friday when his blood oxygen level dropped and he developed a high fever, and faced a "critical" 48-hour period at the Walter Reed Military Medical Center, <a href="https://apnews.com/article/election-2020-virus-outbreak-donald-trump-elections-campaigns-08fcfd3778ca3bbabd011307cf23dc8d">according to The Associated Press</a>. He also said that Trump was "not on a clear path yet to a full recovery."At one point, Trump's oxygen levels dropped to 93%, according to the doctors, below the 95% figure that is cited as the lower limit for normal blood-oxygen saturation.When asked about Trump's lung condition after performing scans, Conley declined to provide an answer.Late Saturday, Conley said that the medical team overseeing Trump was "cautiously optimistic" but that the President was "not yet out of the woods."Dr. Brian Garibaldi said Trump also received a second dose of the antiviral drug remdesivir, along with a dose of dexamethasone.Garibaldi said that Trump is "up and well" and that the medical team wanted him to remain active on Sunday.Earlier this year, UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson was taken to the hospital 10 days after he had contracted the coronavirus.

White House doctor admits, a day late, president was given oxygen COVID treatment

There has been a significant rise in "<keyword id="19154300" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="text-neck-syndrome" source="Orion">text-neck syndrome</keyword>", especially among the young adults, which account for about 70 per cent in the outpatient department, said city doctors on Monday on the occasion of <keyword id="2558895" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="world-spine-day" source="Orion">World Spine Day</keyword>. World Spine Day is observed globally on October 16 to raise awareness about the importance of spine health. The theme of this year's Spine Day is "Move Your Spine". According to doctors at Amrita Hospital Faridabad, exposure to long hours in front of screens, coupled with poor posture and inadequate ergonomics in the workplace, is causing the young adults to be susceptible to spine-related conditions like "<keyword id="2615001" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="text-neck" source="Orion">text-neck</keyword> syndrome". The syndrome can be defined as where the neck muscles become strained and stiff, causing long-term spinal complexities, the experts said. "Poor posture has become the most common cause of back and neck pain among our OPD patients. Remarkably, nearly 70 per cent of our OPD patients fall into this category. Poor screen etiquette is also a leading contributor to such pain. People often use their gadgets with their neck bent for prolonged periods, leading to a condition called "text-neck syndrome. Individuals between the ages of 25 and 45 are the most commonly affected by postural back pain," said Dr Tarun Suri, Head of Spine Surgery at Amrita Hospital Faridabad. Studies show that poor posture is the primary cause of neck and back pain in young and mid-age individuals, leading to work loss, hospital visits, and treatment expenses. Over time, it damages spinal discs, causes muscle spasms, and may lead to chronic pain, disc degeneration, and even surgery in severe cases. The leading factors behind bad posture are poor workplace ergonomics, which entail long hours of sitting without proper chair and desk height, putting significant stress on the lower back and neck. Chronic stress can be extremely detrimental to one's spinal health. Neck, upper back, and shoulder muscles tend to tighten due to stress, which can lead to misalignment and poor posture, the doctor said. Dr Suri said, "Children aged 10-20 years are also experiencing postural spine pains". Spine problems among children are due to "poor studying posture, excessive gadget use, and carrying heavy school bags". The doctor advised people to not ignore posture issues that can have severe long-term consequences. The early warning signs for neck and back pain or developing chronic pain often come in the form of neck pains, with or without radiating pains in the arm, altered spinal alignment, lower back pain, and morning stiffness in the neck or lower back. However, with proper exercise and practice, these symptoms can be prevented. Dr Suri advised people to train themselves to use digital devices at eye level and not by bending the neck. "Holding a cell phone with the device near the ears and tilting the neck for extended periods is also a common bad habit among many people. It is recommended to use the speakerphone or headphones for such conversations. While sitting, the hips and knees should form about a 90-degree angle, with the feet flat on the ground. The back should also be in a neutral position and not hunched over or slouched," he said. The doctor also advised people sitting and working for long hours to take a 60-second break to stretch the back for 20-30 minutes. This can help release intradiscal pressures and improve circulation in spine tissues and muscles.

"It's like all the rest of us, no? That's why we have a vice president and a speaker of the House and a whole line of people. They can just keep dying."Five days after the interview, Bornstein told the publication he didn't want any photos or article from the interview to be published."I happen to have known the Sulzbergers for 50 years," Bornstein told STAT, referring to the family that publishes The New York Times. "I'm going to make sure you don't ever work again if you do this."Bornstein, who has been Trump's doctor for more than 35 years, became a sensation when he wrote a letter stating Trump would be the healthiest president in history.In the STAT interview, Bornstein said he had "never been able to find anything wrong with" Trump, aside for the fact that he's "a few pounds overweight." He also trashed Obamacare, saying "the rates went up, the services went down, the deductibles went way up."And he had praise for Trump and his message of making America great again."Trump was elected, really, by people that are used to paying, the center of the country," Bornstein said. "The center of this country is the old Protestant ethic. You work, you get paid." <div class="margin-top"> <h3>NOW WATCH: <a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/presidency-ages-admnistration-barack-obama-george-bush-bill-clinton-2016-12">Here's how much the presidency ages you</a></h3> <div> <div> <div class="ooyala-video-player" data-video-autoplay="false" data-video-id="VqMmE1MDE6F7KDLqrmSpersKacqMu2bu" data-player-variable="ooyalapopvideo" id="ooyalaplayer_popvideo" style="width:1280px;height:720px"></div> </div> </div> </div>

Trump's doctor grants interview, then 5 days later issues brazen threat to reporters if they publish it

By Aditi Khanna London, May 17 () An Indian-origin doctor has described how one of his coronavirus patients is on the path to recovery and has even begun communicating after 58 days on a ventilator.Dr Sanjay Gupta, lead consultant for critical care at Southampton General Hospital on England's south coast, told The Sunday Times while the unidentified 35-year-old patient is still supported by a ventilator, she is no longer entirely reliant on one and is being "weaned off" the support."Suddenly she can communicate, whereas before she was so weak she could barely lift a finger to write anything," said Gupta."She has virtually no muscle strength left - barely enough to breathe. If you're on a ventilator or in intensive care, your skeletal muscles decondition," he said.Most recent findings have indicated a very high chance of death for COVID-19 patients placed on ventilators and therefore the woman's recovery is particularly remarkable.Patients who go into intensive care are intubated, meaning that a breathing tube is inserted through their mouth. A ventilator attached to the tube can then push air into their lungs. After a patient has spent about three weeks on a ventilator, doctors commonly perform a tracheostomy, creating a surgical opening in the windpipe that replaces the tube.The patient at the Southampton hospital had a tracheostomy several weeks ago, the newspaper said."A tube through the front of your neck is easier to tolerate. It means that you can basically wake the patient up, switch off all sedation and start to mobilise them more," explains Gupta.After almost two months of 24-hour monitoring, the patient still faces a lengthy convalescence with a prolonged period of rehab but the recovery will give hope to other patients who require critical care after contracting the deadly virus which attacks the lungs.
