Rare surgery performed at Manipal hospital

.
Manipal (Karnataka): A team of pediatric surgeons from the Kasturba Hospital, Manipal, have performed a rare and complex reconstruction surgery to give a new lease of life to two teenage girls suffering from abnormal body structures.

The two teenage girls were suffering from Cervicovaginal Agenesis, a malformation where the cervix and vagina are not developed but all other internal organs of a female like uterus and ovaries are normal.

In this malformation, there is no outlet for menstrual flow even though the uterus and ovaries would function normally.

Those afflicted with this malformation will not attain menarche and cannot have children as the vagina and cervix are key functional parts for pregnancy.

The team of pediatric surgeons performed this rare and complex reconstruction surgery using intestinal segment which was connected to the functioning uterus of the patients.

"By this new concept of reconstruction surgery the Kasturba Hospital, not only is the uterus saved, the patients can also lead a normal life like any other girls of their age. They will have their monthly cycles. Pregnancy is possible in future", a team member told NNE.

Kasturba Hospital is a teaching hospital and part of the Kasturba Medical College (Manipal).

A part of the Manipal University, Kasturba Medical College (KMC) has been ranked consistently among the top 10 medical colleges in the country.

Psychiatry Courses

Courses on psychiatry are structured in such a way as to train individuals to explore the labyrinth of the human mind through the help of evidences and subtle techniques. A psychiatrist can draw a fine line of demarcation between people with a healthy mind and those who are mentally sick. He/She should be professionally and educationally adept in transcending all the ethnic and geographical borders and treat patients with empathy by employing the tools of psychotherapy.

A psychiatrist can administer psychiatric drugs to his patients only after analyzing the economic, ethnic and psychosocial milieu of the patient.

He / She should delve deep into the psyche of patients and understand the cause of the deep rooted agonies, anxiety and depression of the patient in this world of fierce, cut-throat and ruthless competition.

One can join the bandwagon of eminent psychiatrists only if one has the burning zeal to render his/her service to the mentally fragile, depressed patients with endurance and expertise.

Qualifications:
A candidate has to acquire an M.B.B.S degree from a medical college and appear for a post- graduate examination to study psychiatry as a subject of specialization. He / She can either enroll in an MD course of three- years duration or the DPM course, a diploma course in psychiatry of two years duration depending upon the rank secured in the entrance examination. Besides, one can also join the DNB course organized by the National Board of Examinations which is equivalent to an MD.

Benefits:
The world is grappling with many problems and our lifestyle is riddled with umpteen problems. The same is taking its toll on the human mind and psychiatrists are therefore in great demand. A psychiatrist gets the opportunity to provide solace to the battered and bruised mind of by infusing a fresh lease of life in them. The demand for psychiatrists is growing at a breakneck speed as people do not feel the stigma and taboo attached with a patient visiting a psychiatrist because of increasing awareness. Psychiatrists in India will have a huge demand in the coming years.

3,000 Kerala medical students to attend inter-college meet

Thiruvananthapuram: Nearly 3,000 students from Kerala's 10 private medical colleges will set aside stethoscopes, scalpels and fat medical books for five days next week to participate in an inter-college arts and sports meet.

KONZERIO 2008 is the fourth edition of the medical students' meet. This time, it is being held at the Dr Somervell Memorial CSI Medical College in Karakonam, on the outskirts of the capital.

"The meet will begin with sports events on Tuesday. Besides nearly 3,000 students, 500 teachers will also be here to ensure that the event goes off smoothly," said KONZERIO coordinator Mohan Gopal.

The meet will include dance performances, skits and light music programmes.

"This is going to be a welcome break from our studies. It will be an ideal occasion for budding doctors to interact with each other and explore their talents," said Mohin George, student in charge of publicity. IANS

600 doctors' posts lying vacant in Kerala medical colleges

Thiruvananthapuram: The five state-run medical colleges in Kerala were facing a staff crunch due to poor service conditions and 600 doctors' vacancies were lying unfilled -- and expected to cross 1,000 in the next few years, an office-bearer of a medical college teacher's body said on Thursday.
A. Sarath Kumar, Kerala Government Medical College Teachers Association president, told reporters here that young doctors are keeping away from medical colleges because of poor service conditions.
Of the 1,922 designated posts of doctors in the five MCs (medical colleges), every year for the past five years the number of vacancies are increasing and in the next few years they would cross 1,000, said Kumar.
He said this is going to be a point of discussion at their state conference to be held at Kozhikode on Sunday.
The five medical colleges in the state mainly cater to lower and middle level income people. They have a total of nearly 9,000 beds and treat close to 400,000 in-patients and 2.5 million out-patients every year.
C. Jayan, a doctor, said the situation is grave and the authorities should act by bringing out schemes which do not have any financial implication.
"At many hospitals in the country, they offer sabbaticals for doctors, in which they are given leave for five years to work elsewhere to improve their financial position. Here no such thing happens and there are not even opportunities for doctors to undergo training or facilities for improving their knowledge," said Jayan.
"While the newly started medical colleges in the private sector offer a starting level salary of Rs.50,000, the salary here is a mere Rs.20,000 inclusive of all allowances. A reasonable salary level which could be an impetus for doctors who have some social responsibility to join would be around Rs.36,000," said Jayan. IANS.

Prakash and Mandakini Amte get Magsaysay Award

Nagpur: Prakash and Mandakini Amte, the physician couple who have won this year's Magsaysay Award for community leadership, have been running a hospital, a school and development centre in Maharashtra's Gadchiroli district since 1974. Prakash is the son of renowned social worker Baba Amte, a Magsaysay award winner himself.
Prakash, 60, and Mandakini, 62, who studied at Government Medical College, Nagpur, plunged into social work immediately after getting their degrees, starting a health centre at Hemalkasa in the middle of an area inhabited largely by the Maria Gonds tribesmen.
For decades, they have worked under the shadow of Murlidhar Devidas Amte, revered as Baba Amte, who died on Feb 9 this year.
Shunning the attractions of private medical practice, the couple opted to live and work among the 100,000-strong Maria Gonds.
The area in which they serve includes parts of Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh and Andhra Pradesh in the very centre of India.
Mandakini told sources on phone from Hemalkasa on Thursday afternoon that although they never hankered for any recognition, "we are glad that our efforts are acknowledged".
"This award will help us take our work even further, and even inspire our children and others to work with renewed dedication for the tribals here," she said.
The children have already joined them. Older son Digant and his wife Anagha are, like Prakash and Mandakini, a physician couple. They work at the Hemalkasa hospital. Younger son Aniket looks after the school which now has 600 residential students, including 200 girls.
A high-ranking government official who knows the couple, toldsources on Thursday that although Prakash and Mandakini could have served in Anandvan, the rehabilitation centre for lepers founded by Baba Amte, they decided to go to Hemalkasa where they faced a tough life, hardships at every step, shortages of food, medicines, risks of diseases and threats from Naxalites.
Often called the 'Albert Schweitzer couple of India,' Prakash and Mandakini have spent their lives treating, completely free, about 100 patients on an average day. The injuries they treat sometimes include those inflicted by wild animals.
They also set up a shelter for orphaned wild animals at their Hemalkasa home, which became a magnet for people from miles around.
Completely in empathy with the residents among whom they live, the Amtes made a hospital ward open to the skies. Some of the treatment is held out in the open too.
Mandakini said that when they first went to Hemalkasa and set up the hospital, the tribals were illiterate. "There was only one person, that too a migrant from a neigbouring state, who was SSC (high school) pass. Then we decided to start the school since education would help the tribals assimilate themselves faster into the social mainstream."
Later the government helped start other small schools and medical clinics, and several non-governmental organisations followed suit. "But there's still a long way to go," Mandakini said.
The Amtes provide a host of services - medical, education, awareness of hygiene since the area is vulnerable to epidemics like malaria, and helping the adults get jobs.
Last year, they were refused a US visa on grounds of being "too poor, with no known sources of income". They had been invited as guests of honour at the biennial convention of Bruhan Maharashtra Mandal of North America in Seattle.
Following a public outcry, they were given the visas and managed to attend the convention. IANS
