Surgery Goof-up! Thane doctors allegedly perform circumcision instead of leg surgery, investigation underway

Shahapur: In an alleged case of medical negligence, doctors at a government-run hospital in Maharashtra’s Thane district allegedly performed circumcision on a 9-year-old boy instead of leg surgery. Following the complaint made by the minor’s parents, the civil surgeon initiated an inquiry into the incident. 

According to the PTI report, the incident took place at Thane Civil Hospital on June 15 when the family admitted the 9-year-old boy to the hospital for treatment of a leg injury.

The  patient’s parents have lodged a complaint with the police, alleging that doctors at a government-run hospital performed surgery on his private parts instead of treating an injured leg. Following their allegation, a health official assured an inquiry into the episode, and the police said they are carrying out a probe, reports TOI.

Speaking to PTI, the minor’s parents said, “The boy suffered an injury on his leg while he was playing with his friends last month. He was admitted to the sub-district hospital in Shahapur on June 15 and was undergoing treatment. The doctors recently performed a circumcision surgery on his private part instead of the injured leg.”

‘Later, after realising their goof-up, the doctors conducted a surgery on his injured leg soon afterwards,’ they told reporters, quotes PTI.

The parents lodged a complaint with the Shahapur police. Although no case has been registered so far in this connection, a police official said that a probe into the complaint was underway. District Civil Surgeon Dr Kailas Pawar said the health authorities will conduct an inquiry into the allegations, reports PTI.

Medical officer at the hospital, Gajendra Pawar, told PTI that besides his leg injury, the boy also had a problem of phimosis (tight foreskin). “We had to carry out two operations,” he said. As regards informing the parents about the second operation, he said the doctors might have forgotten to tell them or they might have told the other relatives of the patient. What the doctors did was right and there was nothing wrong in it, adds the news agency PTI.

But the parents refused to accept the explanation given by the doctors, Pawar said. On the same day, two patients from the same age group underwent surgery at the hospital, doctors said.

Meanwhile, after the family’s complaint, activists from the city have taken up the issue and demanded that action be taken against the doctor responsible for the alleged operation mix-up, reports TOI

NEET case updates: CBI conducts searches at 7 locations in Gujarat

Ahmedabad: In the latest update on the NEET case, the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) conducted searches at seven locations in Gujarat. 

Speaking to PTI, the officials informed that the operation began in the morning at the premises of suspects spread across four districts — Anand, Kheda, Ahmedabad and Godhra.

The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) on Friday arrested the principal and the vice-principal of a school in Jharkhand’s Hazaribagh and a journalist of a Hindi newspaper in connection with the National-Eligibility-Entrance Test – Undergraduate (NEET-UG) paper leak, officials had said.

Ehsanul Haque, the principal of Oasis School, was made the city coordinator of Hazaribagh for the medical entrance exam conducted by the National Testing Agency (NTA) on May 5, they said.

Vice-principal Imtiaz Alam was designated as the NTA’s observer and the centre coordinator for Oasis School, the officials said, adding that the CBI was also questioning five more people from the district in connection with the leak.

Jamaluddin Ansari, the journalist, was arrested for allegedly trying to help the principal and the vice-principal, the officials said on Saturday, reports PTI.

The CBI has registered six FIRs in the NEET-UG paper leak case, which include its own FIR on a reference from the Union education ministry and five from the states where it took over the investigation.

The probe agency has taken over one case each in Bihar and Gujarat and three in Rajasthan.

This year’s NEET UG 2024 exam was mired in controversies after a paper leak scam came to the light. Medical Dialogues had earlier reported that around 13 people, including four examinees and their family members, were arrested in Bihar for their alleged involvement in the paper leak of the NEET-UG exam. Patna police sources had previously claimed that the NEET-UG question papers along with their answers were provided to around 20 aspirants a day before the date of the exam i.e. May 5, 2024.

Then, the Economic Offences Unit (EOU) of Bihar Police, which took over the investigation, revealed that the brokers involved in the NEET paper leak scam took between Rs 30 lakh to Rs 50 lakh from each of the medical aspirants in exchange for giving them the question paper of the NEET UG 2024 question paper ahead of the examination.

Multiple pleas have been filed before the High Courts and the Supreme Court seeking an investigation into the alleged paper leak scam. Some of the pleas demanded the scrapping of the NEET UG 2024 exam and holding a retest. Meanwhile, during the case proceedings, NTA earlier decided to withdraw the grace marks awarded to 1563 candidates and hold an optional retest for those candidates. Those who did not opt for the retest were allowed to retain their original marks, without the grace marks.

The matter is now being investigated by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI). Central Government on June 22, 2024, handed over the charge of investigation in the alleged irregularities in the NEET UG 2024 examination to the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI).

“Certain cases of alleged irregularities / cheating / impersonation / malpractices have been reported. For transparency on the conduct of the examination process, the Ministry of Education, Government of India after a review has decided to entrust the matter to the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) for comprehensive investigation,” the Ministry of Education stated in a release.

Medical Bulletin 29/ June/ 2024

Here are the top medical news for the day:

No Major Heart Health Benefits from Plant-Based Meats, New Study Finds
In a recent study published in The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, researchers conducted an eight-week-long randomised controlled trial to evaluate the impacts of consuming a plant-based meat analogue diet versus one composed of an omnivorous animal-based one.
In recent years, a resurgence in global Plant Based Diets popularity has been witnessed, with environmental, health, and animal welfare concerns primarily driving this observation.
Previous research has established vegetarian and vegan diets as healthier than meat-based diets (MBDs), particularly in cardiometabolic outcomes. Furthermore, large and data-rich controlled trials have suggested that the gradual transition from ABD to PBDs can reduce the risk of chronic, non-transmittable diseases. These food products aim to mimic the organoleptic properties of meat-based food products while meeting the ethical and health benefits of vegetarian/vegan ones.
Unfortunately, given that PBMAs are still novel introductions, scientific evidence for their health benefits remains severely limited. While a few studies have suggested weight-loss benefits to PBMA consumption, their cardiometabolic risk outcomes are hitherto confounding.
Conducted at the Clinical Nutrition Research Centre in Singapore, the study involved a cohort of adults aged 30-70, who were omnivorous with elevated blood glucose levels but no diabetes.
Participants were screened via questionnaires on lifestyle, food frequency, and health history. Standard measurements of height, weight, and waist circumference were taken, along with fasting blood glucose and glycated hemoglobin levels. After baseline evaluations, participants were randomly assigned to either the ABMD or PBMD group. Over an eight-week period, participants gradually substituted their regular diets with the provided animal or plant-based diets.
The study found that protein and saturated fat intake increased over time, especially in the ABMD group, while carbohydrate intake decreased. The PBMD group saw significant reductions in cholesterol, sodium, and potassium. Compliance was high, with 87% in the PBMD group and 95% in the ABMD group adhering to the diet.
Despite these dietary changes, there were no significant effects on lipid profiles, including LDL cholesterol. The cardiovascular risk scores did not show differences between the groups or changes from baseline to the end of the study. Weight and BMI also did not improve, though both groups did experience a reduction in waist circumference over the eight weeks.
The findings suggested that the current PBMDs do not reflect the cardiovascular advantages of their constituent plant foods, possibly due to essential nutrient loss during the latters’ processing for the formers manufacture.

Study Explores Potential Impact of Microplastics Found in Penises on Fertility
Male infertility remains a global issue, with its causes often not well understood.
Given the growing evidence of microplastics infiltrating various biological systems, such as blood and lungs, researchers are now exploring their potential effects on reproductive systems.
Previous research has investigated the presence of microplastics in male reproductive organs.
Now, new research published in IJIR has revealed that four out of five penis tissue samples from five men contained seven different types of microplastics.
These polymer fragments can vary in size from less than 0.2 inches (5 millimetres) to as small as 1 micrometre (1/25,000th of an inch).
Microplastics form when larger plastic materials degrade chemically or wear down physically into tinier pieces. They enter the body through various means, including ingestion of contaminated food and water, inhalation of airborne particles, and absorption through the skin. Once inside, they can circulate through the bloodstream and accumulate in organs, potentially causing health issues.
In the study, researchers collected samples from participants diagnosed with erectile dysfunction (ED) who were undergoing penile implant surgery at the University of Miami between August and September 2023.
Chemical imaging analysis of the samples revealed that 4 out of 5 men had microplastics in their penile tissue. The study identified seven different types of microplastics, with polyethylene terephthalate (PET) and polypropylene (PP) being the most common.
“Microplastics can enter the human body through ingestion, inhalation, and skin contact. They are present in the air, water, and food, especially in items like seafood, sea salt, and bottled beverages. The study found that microplastics, tiny plastic particles less than 5mm in size, were present in the penile tissue of men who underwent surgery for erectile dysfunction. These microplastics were detected in 80% of the samples, with the most common types being polyethylene terephthalate (PET) and polypropylene (PP),” said Ranjith Ramasamy, lead author of the study.

Can Diabetes Cause Uterine Cancer? ICMR sheds light
Diabetes is a global health crisis, with millions being diagnosed each year. While complications such as heart disease, kidney disease, and nerve damage are well-known, a lesser-known but equally serious complication is the increased risk of uterine cancer.
The Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR) has highlighted a crucial link between type 2 diabetes and a rise in uterine cancer cases, emphasizing that managing diabetes involves more than just blood sugar control.
According to ICMR, diabetes mellitus (DM) significantly increases the risk of endometrial cancer (EC). Women with type 2 diabetes are twice as likely to develop EC, with high blood sugar levels potentially contributing to the growth and spread of endometrial cancer cells. The connection between these conditions can be partly attributed to obesity, a common factor in both. Excess weight disrupts healthy hormone production, leading to high insulin levels in diabetes, which may also promote uncontrolled cell growth seen in uterine cancer. Obesity can trigger chronic inflammation, creating an environment conducive to cancer development.
Understanding these shared pathways is crucial for developing preventative strategies and improving patient care. Chronic inflammation and oxidative stress associated with diabetes weaken the immune system and promote abnormal cell growth. This risk is heightened by obesity, leading to a high-estrogen environment and chronic inflammation. Additional risk factors include age, HPV infection, unhealthy habits like smoking and alcohol use, and insulin resistance.
Preventing uterine cancer in individuals with diabetes starts with controlling blood sugar levels. Maintaining a healthy weight through a balanced diet and regular physical activity is essential, as obesity significantly increases the risk. Smoking is another major risk factor; individuals with diabetes who smoke are at an even higher risk of uterine cancer.
Regular screening for uterine cancer is vital for early detection and treatment. Women with diabetes should undergo annual pelvic exams to check for abnormalities in the uterus and cervix. Early detection through these tests increases the chances of successful treatment.
Recognizing the early signs and symptoms of uterine cancer, such as abnormal vaginal bleeding, pelvic pain or pressure, and pain during intercourse, is also important. Consulting a healthcare professional if these symptoms occur can lead to early evaluation and intervention, improving outcomes.
In conclusion, understanding the link between diabetes and uterine cancer is vital for effective management and prevention. By maintaining blood sugar control, a healthy weight, quitting smoking, and undergoing regular screenings, individuals with diabetes can significantly reduce their risk of developing uterine cancer.

2 kg tumour removed from 16-year-old girl’s thigh at Sir Ganga Ram Hospital

New Delhi: A 16-year-old girl from Najafgarh in Delhi underwent eight-hour-long surgery at Sir Ganga Ram Hospital for the removal of a large tumour in her left thigh and prevented her left leg from amputation.

The girl Maya, a student of class XII school and hailing from Najafgarh in Delhi’s South West district, was presented to doctors at Sir Ganga Ram Hospital after facing swelling on the back side of her left thigh for a long period.

According to a IANS report, while small initially, it soon grew in size, restricting her movements like walking, running, and jumping. It gradually also became painful and started causing numbness down the limb.

After imaging and a core needle biopsy, doctors diagnosed her with a soft tissue tumor that had completely encased the left sciatic nerve, posing severe risks if untreated.

The sciatic nerve is a vital nerve that emerges from the lower back (lumbar and sacral spine) and runs through the gluteus maximus muscle (hips) on both sides and then passes down the back of the thigh and leg supplying muscles of the lower limbs.

“This particular nerve is critical for the functionality of the lower limbs. Considering that the sciatic nerve ran through the mass that encased it completely, the probability of saving this crucial nerve during surgery was dismal or negligible,” said Chintamani, Chairman of the Department of Surgical Oncology, at the hospital, news agency IANS reported.

However, the tumour needed to be removed completely to prevent a recurrence. Preservation of the limb was thus a challenge for the doctors, who also extensively counselled Maya for limb-sparing surgery as well as amputation.

Chintamani and the team were able to resect the entire tumour sized 17 x 15 cm, weighing around 2kgs, while saving the sciatic nerve.

“Since the tumour also involved a large chunk of muscles of the posterior compartment of the thigh (hamstrings) we also had to remove that to ensure en bloc removal and muscles from other compartments were mobilised to cover the exposed bone (femur) and the neurovascular bundle,” the doctor said.

Although post-operation, she suffered from some temporary weakness in lower limb muscles, it improved with physiotherapy and time.

“Maya is now doing well and walks into the hospital for her checkups and physiotherapy without any significant neurological deficit,” Chintamani said.

Over 36 percent of inspected drug-making units had to be shut: CDSCO chief

Bengaluru: India’s drug regulator reported that over 36 percent of the 400 drug manufacturing units inspected since last year have been directed to close. This action follows heightened scrutiny prompted by deaths associated with sub-standard cough syrups.

India, known as a global pharmaceutical hub due to its vast drug production, is actively working to rebuild trust after Indian-manufactured cough syrups were implicated in child deaths in Gambia, Uzbekistan, and Cameroon.

According to a Reuters report, India’s Central Drugs Standard Control Organization (CDSCO) chief Rajeev Raghuvanshi said that after one and a half years of inspections, he was “not very happy to say that more than 36 per cent of them (manufacturing units) had to be closed.”
The issues in the Indian pharma industry relate to “non-compliance which leads to quality issues,” he told an event in Mumbai.
He did not elaborate or name any companies.
Cough syrups made in India and Indonesia have been linked to the deaths of more than 300 children globally. The medicines were found to contain high levels of two known toxins, diethylene glycol and ethylene glycol, leading to acute kidney injury and death.
India is the world’s third largest maker of drugs by volume after the United States and China. India’s pharma export sales are expected to reach $55 billion by 2030, according a government-backed trade body Pharmaceuticals Export Promotion Council of India (Pharmexcil). Export sales in 2023-2024 were $27.85 billion.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s government late last year also issued revised guidelines to ensure compliance with global standards and made it mandatory for all of country’s drug manufacturing units to adhere to them.
“We have not had any complaint from World Health Organization (WHO) or any other agency since last July .. we’ve been able to control the issues that were happening from a quality point of view,” Raghuvanshi said.

FMG Internship in Punjab: Only 36 out of 73 FMGs Allotted Seats

Faridkot: Only 36 out of 73 foreign medical graduates in Punjab have bagged their entry to the mandatory internship programme in India, The Tribune has reported.

Although 73 medical graduates from abroad have been waiting to commence their internship since February 7, the Punjab Medical Council (PMC) offered them only 36 seats on Tuesday.

As per the rules, it is mandatory for the foreign medical graduates to clear the screening test i.e. the Foreign Medical Graduates Examination (FMGE) and thereafter undergo internship for one/two/three years according to the National Medical Commission’s guidelines. 

Medical Dialogues had earlier reported that around 100 foreign medical graduates were waiting to commence their two-year compulsory rotating medical internship (CRMI) at Punjab Medical institutes even after clearing the FMGE screening test. PMC was reportedly dithering to allot the internship seats to the FMGs because of the pending issue of payment of stipend to these students.

As per the latest media report by The Tribune, among the 73 FMGs who were waiting to start their mandatory internship, the PMC offered seats to only 36 students on Tuesday. All of these 73 medical graduates from abroad passed the Foreign Medical Graduates Exam (FMGE) screening test and have been waiting to start their internship since February 7.

There are 11 medical colleges in Punjab. However, the 36 FMG Internship seats are in three colleges. Among these 36 seats, 27 seats are available at Faridkot, 8 seats in Patiala and 1 seat is available in DMC Ludhiana.

The Daily has reported that while some medical colleges have already filled their internship quota, some of the private medical institutes in Punjab are not interested to offer the Internship programme to the FMGs as they do not want to pay any stipend to the intern doctors. 

Commenting on the matter, the Registrar of PMC, Dr. Akash Deep Aggarwal told the Daily, “We can’t force autonomous medical institutes to admit FMGs for internship as it their prerogative. In October 2023, the PMC had offered 100 seats to FMGs for internship.”

Meanwhile, pointing out that the scarcity of FMG Internship seats will increase after the conduction of the next FMGE test, the medical graduates from abroad proposed a solution of allowing the FMGs to undergo internship training at non-medical institutes as the PMC did last year. 

Around 50 FMGs from Punjab were sent to the Government Multi Specialty Hospital in Chandigarh last year for internship. However, PMC Registrar Dr. Aggarwal said that they cannot force the Chandigarh Hospital for the internship of the State students since it was their prerogative.

Tribune has reported that around 46 of these FMG interns were shifted from Chandigarh hospital to Mohali, Fairdkot, Patiala, and Jalandhar medical colleges.
