Every year, World Malaria Day is a somber reminder of the collective effort needed to end one of the world's most deadly infectious diseases. Malaria is preventable and curable, yet it kills hundreds of thousands of people every year. This year's theme, "Accelerate the Fight. Save Lives," calls on all of us—governments, health workers, organizations and individuals—to accelerate efforts against the disease.
Understanding Malaria
Malaria is caused by Plasmodium parasites, transmitted to humans from bites by infective Anopheles mosquitoes. Malaria symptoms like chills, fever, and influenza-like illness will quickly lead to severe complications if not treated.".
Despite the availability of low-cost preventive interventions and diagnostic tools, malaria still endangers over 3 billion people globally, particularly in sub-Saharan Africa and parts of Asia, like in India.
Our Commitment
As a health care provider, we are dedicated to:
- Creating prevention and early detection awareness of malaria.
- Enabling diagnostic and therapeutic services in the impacted communities.
- Providing the patients with education regarding the significance of wearing mosquito nets, repellents and hygiene.
- Collaborating with public health practitioners in disease surveillance and disease control programs.
Our hospital also promotes the importance of patients getting medical attention early if they have symptoms, particularly after traveling to risk areas.
Progress in India
India has made remarkable progress in reducing the malaria case burden and is poised to significantly contribute to malaria elimination by the year 2030. The efforts coordinated by the National Center for Vector Borne Diseases Control (NCVBDC) and state governments have significantly reduced the disease burden.
But constant efforts and people's involvement are needed to sustain this momentum.
Did You Know?
- Under 5 years and women who are pregnant are most susceptible to serious malaria.
- Rapid Diagnostic Tests (RDTs) identify malaria in minutes so that treatment can be administered promptly.
- Urbanization and global warming are major challenges to malaria control.
Join the Fight
Today, on this World Malaria Day, we call upon all to join the global fight against malaria. Whether by raising awareness, taking preventive action, or contributing to community efforts, every effort counts.
Together, we can move towards a malaria-free world. If you or someone you know is showing symptoms of malaria, do not hesitate to seek medical care. Early treatment will be lifesaving. For appointments or inquiries visit doctor booking.Is Chewing Gum Actually Plastic?
Chewing gum seems innocent enough, but did you know that synthetic plastics are the primary ingredients used to make most gums? The "gum base" used in many of them contains items such as polyethylene, polyvinyl acetate, and butyl rubber—materials that won't degrade and aren't biodegradable. So by chewing gum, we're not only getting our fill of the taste—we're ingesting plastic without even knowing it.
The Study: Microplastics in Your Saliva
Recently a pilot study proved surprising and frightening information: the chewed gum is able to discharge microplastic particles in saliva. When chewing, according to researchers' finding, about an average of 100 particles per gram is emitted from gum with up to 637 from the most heavily polluted samples. Mostly these microplastics escape after a couple of minutes or at most remain inside the mouth as well as can be swallowed.
This pioneering study is among the first to actually quantify microplastics entering the human body via chewing gum—a casual activity we all do daily.
Health & Environmental Risks
Microplastics have already been associated with possible health issues like hormonal imbalance, inflammation, and cell damage. Although further studies are necessary to fully realize the long-term implications of chewing gum-based microplastics, the fact that we might be consuming plastic on a regular basis should not be dismissed.
Environmentally, the effect is even more apparent. More than 1.74 trillion pieces of chewing gum are manufactured worldwide annually, many of which become street litter and sidewalk trash. These used gums ultimately disintegrate into microplastics, which cause widespread pollution.
The Way Forward: Eco-Friendly Gum Alternatives
There is good news too—some brands have now created plastic-free chewing gum made from natural ingredients such as chicle, a tree sap. They are biodegradable and far healthier for our bodies and the planet.
We can do our part as consumers by:
- Reading labels on chewing gum products before we buy
- Selecting brands that employ natural gum base
- Helping companies that are honest about what they put in their products
Final Thoughts
Chewing gum may appear to be a little habit, but this new study reveals it can have surprising effects on our health and the planet. Since we're becoming increasingly aware of the secret microplastics in the things we use, it's time to reconsider what we put in our mouths—beginning with gum.
Each year, World Autism Acceptance Week is celebrated around the world to raise awareness, understanding, and acceptance of autism spectrum disorder (ASD). The week reminds us to make society inclusive, where people with autism can live with dignity and respect.
Comprehending Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD)
Autism is a neurodevelopmental disorder affecting communication, social interaction, and behaviour. Autism is referred to as a "spectrum" disorder because it affects each individual differently. Individuals with autism may require a high level of support throughout their lifetimes, or they may require little to no accommodations to lead independent lives.
Significance of Autism Acceptance
Although awareness is needed, actual progress occurs through acceptance. Acceptance is seeing the potential and special strengths of autistic people instead of their weaknesses. It is a call to society to offer greater opportunity in school, work, and social interaction for autistic people.
How Do We Support Individuals with Autism?
- Spreading Awareness: Educate yourself and others on autism to eliminate myths and misconceptions.
- Inclusive Space Design: Public areas, the workplace, and schools must be accessible to people with autism.
- Promoting Communication: Recognizing that people with autism might be communicating differently and being tolerant of their requirements.
- Empowering Families: the families of autistic individuals require assistance, advice, and access to resources.
- Encouraging Better Policies: Governments and institutions need to adopt policies that promote better opportunity for autistic individuals.
B. P. Poddar Hospital's Dedication to Autism Treatment
We at B. P. Poddar Hospital understand how crucial it is to treat and diagnose autism early in life. Our board of experts offers paediatric neurological treatment, therapy and counselling services to children as well as families. We make sure every child gets the treatment they need to achieve their full potential.
This World Autism Acceptance Week, let's make a pledge to build a more accepting and understanding world for autistic individuals. Together, we can build a future where neurodiversity is valued and everyone has an equal chance at a full life.
We at B. P. Poddar Hospital & Medical Research Limited pride ourselves in creating awareness of diseases that are not typically accorded the importance they deserve. Alport Syndrome—a genetic disease of the kidneys, ears, and eyes—is a disease like that. With Alport Syndrome Awareness Month being observed, we want to inform and empower our people to observe the symptoms in time and seek proper medical assistance.
What is Alport Syndrome?
Alport Syndrome is an inherited disorder resulting from mutations in the genes that code for the proteins of collagen production. Collagen is an important protein of the kidney basement membrane, inner ear, and eye. As a result of the defective collagen, Alport Syndrome patients suffer from chronic kidney disease, deafness, and ocular abnormalities.
Symptoms and Early Warning Signs
Identifying the symptoms early on can contribute a lot towards controlling the condition. Some of the most prevalent signs of Alport Syndrome are:
- Blood in Urine (Hematuria): One of the very first and longest-standing of all the symptoms, usually appearing during childhood.
- Protein in the Urine (Proteinuria): A sign of kidney damage, leading to swelling of legs, feet, and eyelids.
- Hearing Loss: Typically develops in late childhood or adolescence, bilateral.
- Abnormalities of the eyes: Lenticonus (conical lens) and fleck retinopathy are frequent but not necessarily threatening to vision.
- Progressive Kidney Failure: Kidney function will become worse if left untreated and lead to CKD and eventual kidney transplant or dialysis.
Why Alport Syndrome Awareness Matters
Since Alport Syndrome is a rare disease, it is most commonly mistaken for other kidney diseases. Awareness makes it possible for patients with a family history of kidney disease to be provided with genetic tests and early screening. Early detection postpones the disease's progress through modification of lifestyle, medication, and medical tests.
Treatment and Management
Alport Syndrome has no cure at the moment, but thanks to advancements in medicine, it has been possible to treat the disease successfully:
- ACE Inhibitors & ARBs: They block the kidneys from losing function and delay the development of kidney failure.
- Routine Hearing and Eye Tests: Early detection of hearing and vision loss enables treatment.
- Healthy Lifestyle Choices: A low-sodium diet, proper fluid intake, and avoidance of nephrotoxic medications can help protect kidney function.
- Kidney Transplant: In those progressing to end-stage kidney disease, the ideal choice is a kidney transplant. The Role of B. P. Poddar Hospital in Alport Syndrome Treatment
Our goal at B. P. Poddar Hospital & Medical Research Limited is to provide cutting-edge diagnostic and treatment facilities for genetic kidney diseases. Our nephrologists are trained to provide special care, genetic counseling, and customized treatment programs for patients with Alport Syndrome.
Join the Awareness Campaign
This Alport Syndrome Awareness Month, we encourage everyone to act positively:
- Promote awareness of the condition.
- Get family members with kidney disease to have genetic screening.
- Facilitate research work for improved treatments.
If you or a relative is experiencing any of the symptoms of Alport Syndrome, do not hesitate to seek medical advice. Early treatment can make life easier.

The recent fluctuations in weather patterns have had a significant impact on respiratory health. Sudden temperature changes, shifting humidity levels, and increased airborne pollutants have contributed to a rise in respiratory infections and related complications.
As the weather transitions, especially between winter and spring or monsoon to autumn, our body’s immune system often becomes more vulnerable. The protective mechanisms of the respiratory tract, such as mucus production and cilia movement, may be compromised, making it easier for viruses and bacteria to enter the system. This results in a surge of common respiratory conditions like cold, flu, bronchitis, and sinusitis. Additionally, individuals with pre-existing conditions such as asthma, COPD, and allergic rhinitis often experience worsened symptoms during these seasonal shifts.
A notable factor contributing to this spike is the increase in pollen, dust, and airborne irritants. These allergens, coupled with changing humidity levels, can trigger allergic reactions and respiratory distress. Moreover, viral infections tend to spread rapidly in fluctuating temperatures, especially in crowded indoor settings. The increased use of heaters, air conditioners, and closed indoor spaces during these periods can further circulate germs, exacerbating respiratory issues.
Vulnerable Groups at Higher Risk
Certain groups are more susceptible to weather-induced respiratory problems. Children, elderly individuals, and those with chronic conditions are particularly vulnerable. In children, their developing immune systems may struggle to cope with the sudden weather changes. Meanwhile, older adults often experience reduced lung capacity and a slower immune response, making them prone to severe infections.
Dietary Precautions for Seasonal Changes
During seasonal transitions, particularly in and around Kolkata, maintaining a healthy diet can significantly enhance your immune system and respiratory health. Foods rich in vitamin C such as oranges, amla, and guava help boost immunity. Including ginger, turmeric, and honey in your daily diet can provide natural anti-inflammatory benefits.
Warm fluids like herbal tea, soups, and lukewarm water can soothe the throat and reduce mucus buildup. Consuming foods high in omega-3 fatty acids, such as flaxseeds and walnuts, may help reduce inflammation. Additionally, avoiding cold and oily foods during this period can prevent irritation of the respiratory tract.
Preventive Measures for Better Respiratory Health
To protect yourself from seasonal respiratory issues, it's crucial to adopt preventive measures. Staying hydrated, practicing good hand hygiene, and wearing masks in polluted environments can reduce the risk of infections. For those with respiratory conditions, maintaining prescribed medications, using air purifiers, and avoiding known allergens are essential. Additionally, a balanced diet rich in vitamins and antioxidants can help strengthen your immune system.
Incorporating lifestyle habits like regular exercise, yoga, and deep breathing exercises can also improve lung function and build resilience against seasonal triggers. Keeping your living spaces clean, ensuring proper ventilation, and frequently washing linens can help reduce the presence of allergens indoors.
When to Seek Medical Help
If you experience persistent cough, wheezing, chest tightness, or breathlessness during weather transitions, it’s advisable to consult a healthcare provider promptly. Ignoring these symptoms may lead to severe complications, especially for those with underlying conditions. Early diagnosis and treatment can prevent further deterioration and ensure better respiratory health throughout seasonal changes.
In conclusion, while weather changes are inevitable, taking proactive steps to strengthen your immune system and protect your respiratory tract can significantly reduce the risk of infections. By staying informed and following preventive measures, you can safeguard yourself and your loved ones against seasonal respiratory challenges.
January marks Cervical Health Awareness Month, an essential time to spread awareness about cervical health, encourage preventive care, and support women in taking charge of their well-being. Cervical cancer is one of the most preventable and treatable forms of cancer, yet it continues to affect thousands of women globally each year. This month is an opportunity to educate communities about the importance of early detection and preventive measures.
Understanding Cervical Cancer
Cervical cancer primarily develops in the cells of the cervix—the lower part of the uterus that connects to the vagina. The human papillomavirus (HPV) is the leading cause of cervical cancer. While HPV is a common infection transmitted through sexual contact, most HPV infections resolve on their own. However, in some cases, persistent HPV infection can lead to abnormal cell changes, increasing the risk of cervical cancer over time.
Key Preventive Measures
1. HPV Vaccination:
The HPV vaccine is highly effective in preventing infections with the types of HPV most commonly linked to cervical cancer. It is recommended for preteens (boys and girls) aged 11–12 but can also be given to individuals up to age 45.
2. Regular Screenings:
Pap smears and HPV tests are critical tools for detecting early changes in cervical cells before they develop into cancer. Women should follow their healthcare provider’s recommendations regarding screening frequency.
3. Safe Practices:
Practicing safe sex and limiting the number of sexual partners can reduce the risk of HPV transmission.
4. Quit Smoking:
Smoking weakens the immune system, making it harder to fight off HPV infections. Quitting smoking significantly lowers the risk of cervical cancer.
Recognizing the Symptoms
While early cervical cancer often has no symptoms, advanced stages may present with:
- Abnormal vaginal bleeding (between periods, after intercourse, or after menopause)
- Unusual vaginal discharge
- Pelvic pain or discomfort during intercourse
Any of these symptoms warrant a prompt visit to a healthcare provider.
Breaking the Stigma
Cervical cancer is preventable, yet many women avoid screenings due to stigma, fear or lack of awareness. Conversations about cervical health should normalize regular check-ups and empower women to seek the care they need without shame or hesitation.
How You Can Help
1. Spread Awareness: Share information about the importance of cervical health and available resources for vaccinations and screenings.
2. Organize Health Camps: Advocate for free or low-cost screening programs, particularly in underserved communities.
3. Support Organizations: Partner with or donate to nonprofits working to prevent cervical cancer and improve women’s health globally.
4. Talk Openly: Encourage women in your family and social circles to prioritize their cervical health.
Closing Thoughts
Cervical Health Awareness Month is a reminder that knowledge and action can save lives. By promoting prevention, breaking down barriers, and encouraging regular screenings, we can work towards a future where cervical cancer is a rare occurrence. Let’s take this opportunity to prioritize women’s health and inspire others to do the same.

World Pancreatic Cancer Awareness Day, marked on the third Thursday of November each year, serves as a vital reminder to educate, support, and advocate for advancements in research and early diagnosis. This year, as we unite to shed light on this formidable disease, it is important to understand its impact, the significance of early detection, and the global efforts being made to combat it.
Understanding Pancreatic Cancer
The pancreas, an organ located behind the stomach, plays a crucial role in digestion and blood sugar regulation. Pancreatic cancer occurs when abnormal cells in the pancreas grow uncontrollably, forming a tumor. This type of cancer often goes unnoticed until it has progressed to an advanced stage due to its deep location and lack of early symptoms.
The statistics are stark: pancreatic cancer has one of the lowest survival rates among major cancers. According to the World Health Organization, it is the seventh leading cause of cancer deaths worldwide. This is compounded by the fact that nearly 80% of cases are diagnosed too late for potentially curative surgery.
Recognising Symptoms and Risk Factors
One of the key messages of World Pancreatic Cancer Awareness Day is the importance of recognizing potential symptoms, which may include:
- Jaundice (yellowing of the skin and eyes)
- Unexplained weight loss
- Upper abdominal pain that radiates to the back
- Loss of appetite or changes in digestion
- New onset diabetes, particularly in adults over 50
Awareness of these warning signs, combined with knowledge of risk factors such as smoking, family history of pancreatic cancer, chronic pancreatitis, and obesity, can help in early discussions with healthcare professionals.
The Role of Early Detection
The critical challenge in battling pancreatic cancer lies in early detection. While progress has been made in developing diagnostic tools, these methods are still not widely available or effective in catching the disease in its initial stages. Research is ongoing to develop screening tests that could detect pancreatic cancer before symptoms emerge, offering hope for better outcomes.
Improvements in imaging technology, biomarker research, and genetic testing are paving the way for earlier interventions. For individuals with a strong family history of pancreatic cancer or related genetic conditions, proactive measures such as genetic counseling can provide insights into personal risk factors and guide early monitoring.
Global Efforts and Advocacy
World Pancreatic Cancer Awareness Day emphasizes the need for unified global efforts to fund research, support patients, and advocate for policy changes that prioritize cancer research and patient care. Organizations such as the World Pancreatic Cancer Coalition work tirelessly to bring stakeholders together, promote awareness campaigns, and empower patients and their families.
