KGMU to acquire New Vacuum Suction Machine to Boost Prosthetic Care

Lucknow: In a significant step to revolutionize prosthetics, the King George’s Medical University (KGMU), is set to acquire a vacuum suction machine designed to improve the fit and comfort of artificial prosthetic limbs. The new machine, which costs around 8-10 lakhs, will facilitate more precise production of prostheses.

This advanced technology is expected to reduce common issues such as air gaps, misalignment, and discomfort that are often seen in traditional prosthetic limbs.

Senior prosthetist and in-charge of the Prosthetic Orthotic Unit at KGMU’s Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation (PMR) Department, Shagun Singh, explained that the technology aims to reduce the sense of artificiality for recipients and provide a more natural experience. During World Prosthetic and Orthotic Day, Singh highlighted that traditional prosthetics, often manually crafted using moulding machines, can lead to issues such as air gaps and misalignment.

”We aim to improve usability. The machine introduces the use of polypropylene, which is expected to replace heavier thermosetting plastics. This switch is intended to make prostheses lighter,” Singh added.\

Currently, KGMU which produces 12-15 new artificial limbs every month also repairs approximately a dozen more. The institution also manufactures 250-300 assistive devices for people with partial limb functionality annually.

As per the recent media report by TOI, “An artificial hand costs around Rs 4,000 at KGMU, in contrast to approximately Rs 25,000 at private facilities, illustrating the institution’s commitment to affordability. With the acquisition of this new machine, KGMU aims to increase its output and provide more lightweight, accurately fitted prosthetic options,” Singh said.

Dr Shakuntala Misra organized an awareness rally to highlight the importance of accessible and advanced technology in prosthetics and orthotics. The rally, held at Rehabilitation University, KGMU, and Ram Manohar Lohia Institute of Medical Sciences, was organized to mark International Prosthetic and Orthotic Day.

The rally began at the 1090 intersection at 7 am and concluded at 9 am. The rally was attended by at least 100 participants including prosthetic and orthotic specialists like VK Singh, Shagun Singh, Ranjit Kumar, Dharmveer Kumar, and Sant Prakash Gautam.

VK Singh stated that the event underscored the importance of accessible and advanced prosthetic and orthotic technology in enhancing the quality of life for individuals relying on artificial aids.

Cannot expect media to verify every advertisement! HC Denies to Impose Ban on Doctors, Hospitals from Advertising

Chennai: The Madras High Court recently refused to impose any ban on doctors and hospitals from advertising in the media, One India has reported.

Although the Public Interest Litigation (PIL) was filed before the HC bench seeking to impose a ban on the media from publishing advertisements promoting fake doctors, fake drugs, and medical treatments and hospitals, the HC bench comprising Chief Justice Sriram, Senthil Kumar Ramamurthy observed that it cannot be expected from the media to verify every advertisement related to doctors and hospitals.

Filing the PIL, the petitioner sought regularization of advertisements related to doctors and hospitals in newspapers, television, and media. It was argued by the petitioner that doctors and hospital-related advertisements were misleading the public.

The petitioner further pointed out that people were being made to believe by giving exaggerated and fake advertisements regarding medical treatments. Therefore, the plea sought a ban on the media from publishing advertisements promoting fake doctors, drugs, and medical treatments and hospitals.

As per the latest media report by Tamil One India, the HC bench observed that it could not be expected that the media should check and publish every advertisement related to doctors and hospitals. It noted that the Medical Commission could take action against doctors and hospitals who violated the rules.

The judges further noted that the petitioner could file a complaint in this regard with the Medical Commission and if fake hospitals and doctors publish such advertisements, they could also file complaints before police.

Since there are already laws to take action against objectionable advertisements, the HC bench refused and ordered to dismiss the case noting that they could not issue a general order to take action against the media publishing the advertisements.

PG Medical Seat Blocking Scam: ED Questions BRS Leader Narasimha Rao

Telangana- In an update to the medical seat fraud case, recently, Enforcement Directorate (ED) officials questioned Chalimeda Anand Rao Institute of Medical Sciences chairman and BRS leader Chalimeda Lakshmi Narasimha Rao.

On Friday, Chalmedha was questioned by the ED in connection with alleged irregularities in seat blocking among several persons. ED officials recorded Chalmedha’s statement in connection with the medical seats which were blocked by the management and were allegedly sold as charity seats to students by collecting huge amounts of money.

Allegedly, around 45 seats under the convener quota seats based on NEET PG merit were blocked using the names of students from northern states. Upon reaching out, university officials found that these students had never applied for admission to KNRUHS.

It is suspected that some private colleges manipulated these blocked seats by transferring them to the NRI quota for a hefty sum. During admissions, university officials flagged anomalies in the merit list of 45 applicants, later confirming that the candidates did not intend to take admission to KNRUHS, ultimately depriving eligible local students of their rightful seats, report TOI.

Meanwhile, it was reported that ED officials have got some more clues regarding the irregularities and have started sending notices and questioning the medical college management on suspicion of fake seat allotment by collecting huge amounts of money in the form of cash from the students.

On this, Medical Dialogues had earlier reported that the ED has issued notices to former Minister Malla Reddy. Malla Reddy served as Telangana Minister for Labour and Employment before his term ended. As along with several other medical colleges, Malla Reddy Institute of Medical Sciences was also one of the medical colleges affiliated with KNRUHS that was raided by the ED.

The investigation is the ongoing part of the alleged seat-blocking fraud and irregularities in the financial transactions, ED officials had conducted raids on 12 medical colleges in Telangana. Allegedly, some medical colleges, which are affiliated with Kaloji Narayana Rao University of Health Sciences (KNRUHS), sold the seats for higher prices by blocking them in a dubious manner last year.

FMGE December 2024 candidates concerned over lack of Exam Centres, NBE responds

New Delhi- Candidates are concerned over the lack of Foreign Medical Examination (FMGE) December 2024 exam centres in some states and union territories. 

FMGE is one of the high-stakes exams conducted by NBEMS. FMGE December 2024 is scheduled to be held on 12th January 2024. Interested candidates can register for the exam till November 18, 2024.

Keeping in mind the sensitivity of this exam, to maintain its sanctity, NBEMS has planned to take all possible measures to prevent any unfair practices used by the candidates appearing for this exam.

Also Read: FMGE December 2024: Know how to apply for the screening test

Speaking on the FMGE December 2024 exam centres, the National Board of Education in Medical Sciences (NBEMS), Additional Director, Dr Vinay Gupta, told  Edexlive, “One such measure is to limit the conduct of examination at centres that do not meet the stringent audit parameters related to secure conduct of examination. These parameters are logistics, systems used, software installed, technology partners, and others. Therefore, the examination is not conducted in a few states/UTs due to the unavailability of desired categories of centres”.

“In the recent past, NBEMS has identified incidences of unfair means adopted by desperate candidates who have been failing to qualify for the examination over the years, wherein, they have colluded with the staff of test centres to get an unfair advantage in the examination. NBEMS has registered an FIR against such elements in the past and taken additional precautionary measures to prevent such incidences from happening again. The Agartala Centre in Tripura reported mass cheating by candidates, following which, the centre was omitted from the exam centres list. The random allocation of the test city from among the four different choices being given by the candidate is one such measure. By way of this process, the candidate is unaware of the test city till two weeks prior to the conduct of the examination that shall be allocated to him or her, thereby, preventing any possibility of colluding with the exam functionaries at the test centres.” he added.

Earlier, FMGE was conducted through pen and paper mode, which was limited to Delhi city only. Now, after conducting the exam in a computer-based test (CBT) mode NBEMS is going to conduct the forthcoming FMGE in 55 cities across the country. Computer Based Testing (CBT) method for conducting the examination was adopted in June 2014.

As per the information bulletin released by NBEMS for FMGE in December 2024, there are 60 centres. However, 11 states and six union territories (UTs) do not have any centres. States without exam centres are Arunachal Pradesh, Goa, Haryana, Himachal Pradesh, Jharkhand, Manipur, Nagaland, Odisha, Sikkim, Tripura and Uttarakhand. Union Territories without exam centres are Andaman and Nicobar, Chandigarh, Dadra and Nagar Haveli and Daman and Diu, Ladakh, Lakshadweep and Puducherry.
