Guillain-Barre Syndrome, prevalent in adults, causes peripheral nerve attacks. Immediate medical attention is crucial. Infections often trigger GBS; practicing good hygiene and food safety can prevent such infections, lowering GBS risk.

A man suspected of having Guillain-Barre Syndrome (GBS) died in Solapur, Maharashtra, on January 27, 2025, according to reports.
 Till now, the total number of GBS cases has risen to 101, including 68 men and 33 women. Out of these, 16 patients are on ventilator support. Health officials have reported one suspected death in Solapur.

Guillain-Barre Syndrome (GBS) cases | 101 patients have been found until now. 81 patients are from Pune MC, 14 from Pimpri Chinchwad MC and 6 are from other districts: Public Health Department, Maharashtra <a href="https://t.co/kdoip599yT">pic.twitter.com/kdoip599yT</a>

 Guillain-Barre Syndrome (GBS) is a rare neurological disorder where the body&rsquo;s immune system attacks part of the peripheral nervous system. This part of the nervous system controls movement and sensation outside the brain and spinal cord. GBS can develop suddenly and without warning. While it is more common in adults and in males, people of all ages can be affected.
 Symptoms of GBS According to the World Health Organization (WHO), the symptoms of GBS usually start in the legs and may spread to other parts of the body.
These include:
 &bull; &nbsp; &nbsp;Tingling or weakness in the legs, which can spread to the arms and face. &bull; &nbsp; &nbsp;Pain in the back, arms, or legs. &bull; &nbsp; &nbsp;Loss of reflexes during a neurological exam. &bull; &nbsp; &nbsp;Paralysis in severe cases, affecting the legs, arms, or facial muscles. &bull; &nbsp; &nbsp;Breathing difficulties, as GBS can weaken chest muscles in about one-third of cases. &bull; &nbsp; &nbsp;Difficulty speaking or swallowing in severe cases.
Patients with GBS need immediate medical care, as symptoms can worsen over a few days or weeks. The most severe weakness usually occurs within the first two weeks of symptom onset, as stated by Johns Hopkins Medicine.&nbsp;

What causes GBS?&nbsp; The exact cause of GBS is not fully known, however, certain factors can trigger it. These include:
 &bull; &nbsp; &nbsp;Infections: Most GBS cases occur after an infection, which leads the immune system to attack the body.&nbsp;
 &bull; &nbsp; &nbsp;Common bacterial cause: Campylobacter jejuni infection, which causes gastroenteritis (nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea), is a major risk factor.
 &bull; &nbsp; &nbsp;Viral infections: GBS can also develop after infections such as: o &nbsp; &nbsp;Influenza (flu) o &nbsp; &nbsp;Cytomegalovirus o &nbsp; &nbsp;Epstein-Barr virus o &nbsp; &nbsp;Zika virus
 &bull; &nbsp; &nbsp;Vaccinations: In rare cases, vaccines may slightly increase the risk of GBS. However, studies show that the risk of GBS from infections like the flu is much higher than from vaccines such as the flu shot.
 &bull; &nbsp; &nbsp;Surgery: In some cases, undergoing surgery can act as a trigger for GBS.
Is Guillain-Barre Syndrome contagious? Guillain-Barre Syndrome is not contagious or inherited. The exact cause is still unknown. This autoimmune condition can affect people at any age, but it commonly affects people between 30 and 50.
How to Prevent GBS? Taking certain precautions can help reduce the risk:
 &bull; &nbsp; &nbsp;Drink only boiled or bottled water. &bull; &nbsp; &nbsp;Wash fruits and vegetables thoroughly before eating. &bull; &nbsp; &nbsp;Cook poultry and meat properly; avoid raw or undercooked food like salads, eggs, kebabs, or seafood. &bull; &nbsp; &nbsp;Keep raw and cooked foods separate to prevent cross-contamination. &bull; &nbsp; &nbsp;Disinfect kitchen surfaces and utensils after handling raw meat. &bull; &nbsp; &nbsp;Practice good hygiene, including frequent hand washing with soap, especially before meals and after using the toilet.
Following these hygiene and food safety measures can help lower the chances of infections that might trigger GBS. If you experience any symptoms, seek medical help immediately.

L&T chairman SN Subrahmanyan's call for longer working hours has faced criticism as health experts and a 2021 UN report emphasize the dangers of overwork, including increased risk of physical and mental health issues.

SN Subrahmanyan's 90-hour workweek comment sparks health concerns

L&amp;T chairman SN Subrahmanyan's call for longer working hours has faced criticism as health experts and a 2021 UN report emphasize the dangers of overwork, including increased risk of physical and mental health issues.

SN Subrahmanyan, Chairman and Managing Director of the renowned conglomerate Larsen &amp; Toubro (L&amp;T), recently expressed regret over not being able to make his employees work on Sundays. His comments, which suggested a 90-hour workweek, have sparked significant backlash, especially in light of growing concerns over work-life balance and well-being.
While Subrahmanyan's remarks were intended to inspire hard work and ambition, the reality of long working hours and their potential harm to health is well-documented. <a href="https://www.who.int/publications/i/item/9789240034945" target="_blank">A 2021 report by the United Nations</a> underscores the severe impact that extended office hours can have on both physical and mental health. &ldquo;It&rsquo;s shocking to see so many people literally being killed by their jobs,&rdquo; said <a href="https://www.who.int/news/item/17-09-2021-who-ilo-almost-2-million-people-die-from-work-related-causes-each-year" target="_blank">Dr Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, WHO Director-General</a>. "Our report is a wake-up call to countries and businesses to improve and protect the health and safety of workers by honouring their commitments to provide universal coverage of occupational health and safety services.&rdquo;&nbsp; 
The UN Report and Its Findings The United Nations&rsquo; 2021 report revealed alarming statistics about the consequences of overwork. Nearly two million people die each year due to work-related injuries and illnesses, with 1.9 million deaths recorded in 2016 alone. Among the leading causes of death were chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (415,000 deaths), strokes, and ischaemic heart disease.
The COVID-19 pandemic, which normalized the concept of working from home, further exacerbated the problem, making it even more evident that long hours are increasingly becoming detrimental to people's health. In addition to these conditions, the report highlighted 19 other occupational risk factors, including exposure to harmful substances like asbestos and prolonged sitting, which can lead to various health problems. 
Work-Life Balance and Its Importance
As conversations around work-life balance grow louder, Subrahmanyan&rsquo;s call for longer hours seems increasingly out of touch with modern concerns about employee health and well-being. Actor Deepika Padukone, among others, criticized the remarks, emphasizing the importance of work-life harmony for a productive and healthy life.
Responding to the backlash, L&amp;T clarified on Friday that the Chairman&rsquo;s comments were meant to reflect the company's broader commitment to nation-building and the extraordinary efforts required to achieve ambitious goals.

Health experts have long advocated for healthier work practices. Among the top suggestions are taking short breaks throughout the day, engaging in mindfulness exercises, and managing stress more effectively. Furthermore, creating flexible work environments and setting clear boundaries between work and personal life are critical steps toward improving well-being.
Other recommended practices include:
<ul>
<li>Taking regular breaks during work</li>
<li>Engaging in mindfulness and relaxation techniques</li>
<li>Managing stress and maintaining flexibility at work</li>
<li>Setting clear work-life boundaries</li>
<li>Staying physically active</li>
<li>Eating a balanced, healthy diet</li>
<li>Seeking support for mental health</li>
<li>Prioritizing health and wellness goals</li>
<li>Taking "me time" for personal recharge</li>
<li>Setting realistic short-term goals</li>
</ul>
 In conclusion, while Subrahmanyan&rsquo;s comment aimed to encourage a strong work ethic, it is important to remember the growing body of evidence that supports the need for balanced work schedules. As the UN report and health experts advise, the focus must shift toward protecting workers&rsquo; physical and mental health, ensuring sustainable productivity, and embracing a holistic approach to work.

The findings, published in The Lancet Regional Health Southeast Asia, showed a "significant improvement in timely initiation of cancer treatment as a result of the introduction of PM-JAY".

Study finds enrolling in Ayushman Bharat Scheme increased access to timely start of cancer treatment

The findings, published in The Lancet Regional Health Southeast Asia, showed a "significant improvement in timely initiation of cancer treatment as a result of the introduction of PM-JAY".

Enrolling under the Ayushman Bharat Pradhan Mantri Jan Arogya Yojana (PM-JAY) -- India's national health insurance program -- increased access to timely initiation of cancer treatment by 33 per cent, a study has found.
Researchers, including those from the Post Graduate Institute of Medical Education and Research (PGIMER), Chandigarh, also found that under the scheme, patients diagnosed with cancer after 2018, when the program was launched, were at a 36 per cent higher chance of timely initiation of treatment within 30 days, compared to those diagnosed between 1995 and 2017.
The findings, published in The Lancet Regional Health Southeast Asia, showed a "significant improvement in timely initiation of cancer treatment as a result of the introduction of PM-JAY".
The researchers analysed responses of almost 6,700 cancer patients, recruited between October 2020 and March 2022, from "selected seven leading cancer care hospitals" across six states, such as Tamil Nadu, Maharashtra and Delhi.
The patients were interviewed on aspects, including health care costs and quality of life, as part of the protocol 'National Cancer Database for Cost and Quality of Life', developed in 2018 and described in a study published in the British Medical Journal Open.
Overall, the typical duration before initiating cancer treatment following diagnosis was found to be 20 days.
The duration was observed to be highest among patients with head and neck cancer (29 days), followed by that observed among breast cancer patients (25 days) and lowest among patients with haematological cancers (11 days), the researchers found.
They also found an overall declining trend in delays in the time taken before starting cancer treatment over the years, and the "slope of this decreasing trend was notably higher among patients availing benefits under AB PM-JAY".
This suggested a higher chance of timely treatment initiation for cancer patients as a result of enrolment, the authors said and attributed it to the "expansion of cancer care services under national flagship insurance program".
The team also found lower chances of delays in timely treatment initiation among those having a higher income, compared to those having a lower income.
This was the "first-ever study to cover all types of cancer patients in a nationally representative sample", according to the authors.
"Our study recommends expanding AB PM-JAY cancer packages to include cost-effective treatments, increasing population coverage under screening programs and promoting e-RUPI to reduce financial constraints associated with diagnostic services to address delayed treatment initiation due to unknown cancer stages," they wrote.

Study suggests fatty and sugary foods make you dislike healthy alternatives

A recent study suggests that eating sugary and high-fat food items trains your brain to hate healthier options.&nbsp;

Do you also wonder why it is so difficult to give up junk and sugar? It is apparently because your brain gets used to it.&nbsp;
Published in the journal Cell Metabolism, the study suggests that eating sugary and high-fat food items trains your brain to dislike healthier options.&nbsp;
For the study, the team examined two groups where one group was given yogurt with two times higher fat and sugar and the other group was given a low-fat and sugar yogurt.&nbsp;
It was found that the group which had been eating high-sugar and fat yogurt didn&rsquo;t enjoy the healthier options as they used to before the study. Not only genetic and environmental influences, but habitual factors also contribute to weight gain, study authors concluded.

A broken heart can be a medical condition called broken heart syndrome&nbsp;which lasts for a short duration. Know more about it.&nbsp;

Breakups hurt the most and now we know the scientific reason behind it.
According to the report published by Live Science, people often go through a lot of emotions while dealing with sudden demise of a loved ones or falling out of love.&nbsp;
Experts explain that when someone falls in love there's a natural outpouring of the cuddle hormone called oxytocin and the feel-good hormone dopamine.
And when someone suddenly falls out of love the levels of these hormones drop resulting in increase of the stress hormone cortisol which can cause weight gain, anxiety and high blood pressure.&nbsp;
As per the report, in a few cases, pain due to a broken heart can be a medical condition called broken heart syndrome which lasts for a short duration.&nbsp;
