Reports of 11 under lens negative; active Covid cases at 4 in city
In April, there was 1 case, in May 3 cases, and in June 5 positive cases were identified. Currently, there are 4 active cases. One patient was hospitalised due to other illnesses and tested positive for COVID during those examinations. Three individuals, who were asymptomatic, were advised to stay at home and take precautions. Five individuals recovered and are symptom-free, said official sources.
Continuous monitoring is being conducted to ensure the infrastructure and delivery of health services, sources said.
Recently, mock drills were organised in health institutions to evaluate the supply of medical oxygen and the efficiency of oxygen plants.
Dr Prabhakar Tiwari, CMHO Bhopal, stated that health institutions have been instructed to follow protocols based on symptoms. Free consultations are available at all govt health institutions. The public is urged to seek medical advice for testing and treatment if needed. Avoid self-diagnosis and self-medication. There is no need to fear COVID, but caution is necessary. COVID can be dangerous for individuals with low immunity, such as cancer patients, dialysis patients, and those with co-morbidities like diabetes, so they should take special precautions, he said.

Lok Nayak Hospital's neurosurgery ICU gets 5 portable ventilators
Lok Nayak Hospital's neurosurgery department on Thursday installed five portable ventilators at its ICU unit and secured three ventilator beds of ICU units of other departments for its patients. Portable or transport ventilators are mechanical ventilation devices designed specifically for emergency or transport scenarios, while fixed ventilators are permanently positioned respiratory support. This comes after The Indian Express reported on Thursday that as per official records, only one of the 15 ventilators was functional in the neurosurgery department of the Delhi's government's 2,153-bed Lok Nayak Hospital — the largest such facility in the national capital. Weekly status reports maintained by the hospital showed that there were 14 ventilators in the department till Tuesday — none of them functional. One functional ventilator was added on Wednesday. According to records, ten of these ventilators have been non-functional for eight months, two for about a year and two more for over two years. In 12 of these ventilators, 'multiple spares are defective' and need to be 'replaced as per service report'. The two ventilators that have been non-functional for over two years were procured during Covid from the PM CARES Fund. Delhi Health Minister Pankaj Kumar Singh and Lok Nayak Hospital Director B L Chaudhary did not respond to queries from The Indian Express regarding the ventilators. Official sources said that Danish Ashraf, Special Secretary, Delhi Health and Family Welfare department, visited the hospital around 3 pm on Thursday for an inspection of the neurosurgery department's ICU. 'Medical Director Dr B L Chaudhary was also on round,' the official source said. The hospital also procured 18 ventilators from Rajiv Gandhi Super Speciality Hospital that are yet to be installed. Sources in the hospital said the instructions have been issued to repair the existing ventilators in the next 10 days. An official said: 'Instructions related to repair and maintenance of ventilators were passed earlier as well. Now, another set of instructions have been issued to speed up the process. We coordinate with manufacturing firms for annual maintenance of the machines.' Sources in the department also said that a lack of ventilators for almost a year led to a drop in the number of surgeries performed each month. Before the ventilators stopped working, an average of 30-35 elective surgeries and 20-25 emergency neurosurgeries were conducted in two operation theatres every month, the sources said. 'The number has come down to an average of 20 elective and 10 emergency surgeries per month… Cases are being prioritised and shortlisted. Cases which do not require ventilation are preferred,' said a senior doctor. Sources also said that patients who are operated upon in the neurosurgery department and require ventilator support were being shifted to the general surgery department's ICU, which has 15 ventilator beds. This ICU also accommodates patients who have undergone surgeries in the orthopaedic and medicine departments.

MBBS cutoffs in Maharashtra drop sharply as merit list announced
MUMBAI: Cutoff marks for MBBS admissions in Maharashtra have fallen significantly this year, with the State Common Entrance Test (CET) Cell attributing the slide to a tougher NEET paper and smoother seat approvals. MBBS cutoffs in Maharashtra drop sharply as merit list announced The CET Cell released the first merit list for 2025 on Thursday, showing the open-category cutoff for government medical colleges at 509 marks — down from 642 last year. In private unaided colleges, the cutoff dropped to 479 from 602. The CET Cell is conducting admissions for 8,138 MBBS seats across 64 colleges in the state. Officials said the decline is evident in both government and private institutions. While last year's higher cutoffs were partly due to an easier NEET paper, this year's exam — particularly its physics section — was considered more challenging. Experts noted that NEET's difficulty had been reduced during the COVID-19 years but has now reverted to pre-pandemic levels, depressing overall scores. Parents' representative Sudha Shenoy welcomed the trend, saying it would allow more students to secure government seats. She credited timely approvals for medical colleges — completed before the first merit list for the first time — as a key factor. 'This clarity reduced uncertainty and helped bring cutoffs down,' she said, adding that in previous years, delays in approvals often pushed up the first-list benchmarks.

Prepare for infectious bird flu virus variant
Researchers from the Indian Institute of Science's department of biochemistry have cautioned about a new threat on the horizon that requires urgent attention from the central and state health authorities. They have discovered that the currently circulating and dominant 2.3.4.4b variant of the H5N1 avian influenza virus has undergone genomic mutations that significantly increase the threat of humans getting infected with bird flu. It poses the threat of an outbreak that could be much more challenging to prevent or manage than the Covid pandemic. The IISc team analysed 7,000 protein sequences of the 2.3.4.4b H5N1 variant found in birds, 820 sequences from non-human mammals, and 35,000 human H1N1 (swine flu virus) and H3N2 (seasonal influenza virus) sequences. They identified rapidly changing amino acids in the sequences, used multiple tools to identify similar regions in various proteins, constructed an evolutionary trend to understand how the viral species diverged from their common ancestor over time, and detailed specific variations in all the proteins of H5N1 infecting non-human mammals and humans to conclude that the 2.3.4.4b variant is much more harmful to humans than its predecessors.
