SMS Hospital achieves record number of kidney transplants
1 2 3 4 Jaipur: One year after being embroiled in an alleged fake NOC scam for organ donation, SMS Hospital accelerated its kidney transplant surgeries to benefit the needy patients. It conducted the seventh kidney transplant in the past five days, including one cadaveric transplant. Over the last 12 months, the hospital performed 80 transplants, the highest number of transplants, both live and cadaveric, ever carried out in the department since the first transplant was conducted in 1996. Now, the state govt is taking measures to expand organ transplants in other medical colleges. Medical education secretary Ambrish Kumar said, "Rajasthan is making significant strides in the field of organ donation and transplants. Our aim is to initiate organ donation and transplantation services in all medical colleges across the state, so that we can save as many lives as possible by advancing this noble cause. " He was addressing an organ donation awareness program on Organ Donation Day at the Sawai Man Singh Medical College auditorium Monday. SMS Hospital has been conducting organ transplants from live donors and from cadaveric donations (from brain-dead persons). by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Learn 57+ Languages Easily with AI [Join] Talkpal AI Undo "Since the establishment of the State Organ and Tissue Transplant Organization (SOTTO) in 2018, there has been continuous progress in organ donation and transplantation in the state. In the last six months alone, 19 cadaver transplants were performed at Sawai Man Singh Hospital, which is a significant achievement," said Dr Deepak Maheshwari, principal and controller, SMS Medical College. According to the medical education department, approximately 10,000 deaths occur annually due to road accidents in the state. If 10% of these brain-dead individuals could donate organs, many patients could receive a new lease of life. The department also attributed increases in organ transplants to accidents, unbalanced lifestyles, and genetic reasons. Officials appealed to people to adopt a healthy lifestyle, maintain a balanced diet, and keep fit through practices like yoga.

Health dept urges action to prevent mosquito-borne diseases after heavy rains
Jaipur: Incessant rains over the past few days created a conducive environment for mosquito breeding, which could give rise to vector-borne diseases. The health department marked Ajmer and other districts at high risk for mosquito-borne illnesses. Directions were issued to districts that received significant rainfall recently to step up efforts to prevent mosquito breeding. The health department is launching 'Swasthya Dal Aapke Dwaar,' a campaign for a door-to-door survey of the houses across the state. "Once the rains stop, the threat of mosquito-borne diseases will increase. So, in the coming days, there is a risk of the spread of mosquito-borne diseases. People should take precautions. The health department is launching its state-wide campaign to destroy the mosquito breeding grounds developed during rains," said a senior health department official. In 2025, the state reported 570 dengue cases, 461 malaria cases, and 184 chikungunya cases so far (from Jan 1 to July 29). The official said that dengue cases were reported from different parts of the state. However, no significant spike was reported from any part of the state. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like I thought my dad was 'boring'.

Necessary arrangements for medical facilities in Jodhpur, Jaisalmer, and other areas will be done for the upcoming Ramdevra Fair. "There is a risk of seasonal diseases spreading once the rain subsides. Effective management of these diseases will be ensured with thorough preparation in all districts. Proper arrangements for prevention, testing, and treatment will be in place. Intensive monitoring of seasonal diseases will be conducted at both the state and district levels," said the official. The health department emphasised that there should be no negligence in preventing and controlling activities for seasonal diseases. Affected patients should receive immediate testing and treatment. State-level officials will keep an eye on all the districts. Teams and resources should be increased in districts that report a high number of cases. The uninterrupted supply of necessary kits and medicines for disease testing, along with the availability of sufficient beds, will be ensured. The official said that the situation of seasonal diseases in the state is currently under control. All relevant officials will work proactively to ensure proper arrangements for testing, medication, and treatment. The situation is under control in most districts, with no deaths from malaria or dengue reported this year so far.

Taking a hot shower straight after a workout? Top doctor explains why this could be extremely dangerous
A 24-year-old gym-goer's near-fatal collapse after a hot shower highlights the dangers of neglecting post-workout recovery. Intense exercise leads to dehydration, and a subsequent hot shower can cause a sharp drop in blood pressure, potentially leading to unconsciousness. Experts advise rehydrating, resting, and avoiding hot showers immediately after workouts to prevent such incidents. Showering after a strenuous workout is non-negotiable. But do you take a hot or cold shower? Well, the temperature of the water you bathe in really matters. Because the wrong one could land you in an intensive care unit, and even become fatal. Yes, the wrong temperature could kill you. Dr. Aditij Dhamija, a general physician and medical educator, has recently shared a chilling case of a 24-year-old man, a regular gym-goer, who collapsed after a hot shower and woke up in the intensive care unit (ICU). This incident has sparked conversation around post-exercise recovery and the often overlooked role of water temperature. How a hot shower can turn hazardous 'A 24-year-old man hit the gym like every day… but when he didn't come out of the bathroom for 30 minutes, the door had to be broken down. He was found unconscious on the floor, pulse barely there,' Dr. Dhamija said, in a video shared on Instagram. The man was taken to the emergency room (ICU) and later shifted to a ventilator. So, what went wrong? Taking a hot shower after a workout may seem soothing, but it could be extremely dangerous. How can a hot shower after exercise almost kill you? The science behind it is simple. After an intense workout, your body is dehydrated. So, when you take a hot shower post the intense workout, your blood vessels suddenly dilate. This could drop your blood pressure sharply. This sharp drop in blood pressure left him unconscious, and he collapsed on the bathroom floor. He was rushed to the ICU and then put on a ventilator to save his life. 'Blood flow to the brain decreases, and you collapse. This patient barely escaped death,' the physician added. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Do you have a mouse?

Don't rush into a hot shower immediately after gym Don't ignore light-headedness or dizziness Don't forget to hydrate properly The Do's Instead of rushing to shower immediately after a workout, the doctor suggests the following steps. Rehydrate with water + electrolytes post-workout Rest for 10–15 minutes before bathing If feeling faint, lie down and elevate your legs No more guesswork: Doctor busts common myths about women's health He also added that fitness is supposed to 'make you stronger, not take you closer to death.' Hydration is crucial following any workout. Incorporating electrolytes can restore energy. Ignoring warning signs such as dizziness, light-headedness, nausea, or a spinning sensation after a workout could land you in serious trouble. These could be signal that your body is dehydrated, under stress, and needs recovery time.
