Experts focus on scientific aspects of astrology during month-long camp
Varanasi: A month-long astrology knowledge camp organised by Shastrarth Mahavidyalaya concluded on Sunday. A large number of people, including students and women participated in the camp.
College principal and camp coordinator Pawan Kumar Shukla said that the camp was not only an effort to enrich children with Vedic traditions, scientific perspective, and self-awareness but also became a strong medium for the preservation and promotion of Indian knowledge traditions.
Acharya Sanjay Upadhyay, who taught astrology at the camp, emphasised both the religious significance and scientific aspects of this science.
He explained how information about the past, present, and future can be obtained through forehead lines. A new research perspective was presented by integrating the planets in the birth chart with the study and teaching of these lines, showing how forehead lines and charts together can determine the direction of life.
He analysed the time cycle and periods, explaining that dividing time into three types - Sattva, Rajas, and Tamas periods - is most auspicious and fruitful for chart consideration. The camp also discussed medicine and medical science through the birth chart. Acharya Upadhyay said that by considering the indications of the chart, one can know which doctor is suitable, which medicine will be beneficial or not, and whether the treatment is beneficial for the ailment.

Overnight lenses that reshape cornea could slow down myopia progression
Chennai: A new type of contact lens that can be worn overnight to help reshape the cornea and slow the eye's elongation, allowing people with myopia, or near-sightedness, to see without glasses or lenses during the day, will be tested in 200 children at city-based Dr Agarwals Eye Hospital for at least one and a half years, along with scientists from Japan. Myopia is a growing epidemic, afflicting the eyes of children, said the hospital's Chief Clinical Officer, Dr Ashvin Agarwal. People with myopia can see close-up objects clearly, but to read blackboards, engage in cycling, driving, or recognising the faces of people down the road, they may need glasses. "From a prevalence of 4% in 1999 to 21% in 2019, myopia is expected to affect 40% of India's population by 2040 and touch close to 50% by 2050. We are trying to slow down the progression," he said. Similarly, digital eye strain now affects 50%-60% of children in India, driven by increased screen time. Orthokeratology lenses are gas-permeable, rigid contact lenses that temporarily reshape the cornea of your eye. "People wear these lenses while they are sleeping. When they wake up and remove these lenses, their cornea holds its new shape, allowing them to see clearly without the need for glasses or daytime contact lenses," he said. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Pinga-Pinga e HBP?

These lenses exert gentle hydraulic pressure on the tear film beneath the lens, which in turn reshapes the corneal cells, say experts. This temporary change in corneal curvature allows light to focus properly on the retina. Experts say they work like dental retainers that maintain the shape of teeth. "It must be worn every night. Our test will show who is benefiting from these glasses," he said. For the study, launched in Feb, Dr Agarwals Eye Hospital has collaborated with Japan's Menicon Co Ltd for joint research on these lenses. This study will check the efficacy and safety of the orthokeratology lens for Indian children. "We aim to develop solutions and raise awareness about the treatment," said Menicon Co Ltd regional director (China and Asia-Oceania) Shunsuke Yamagishi. These lenses won't be available for sale until doctors evaluate the benefits and side effects. "If this is successful, it will offer freedom from glasses and eventually show us the path towards a cure for myopia," Dr Agarwal said.

From The Hindu, June 10, 1975: Govt. considering action on U.K. restrictions on Indian doctors
New Delhi, June 9: The Health Ministry is expected to come out soon with the steps proposed to be taken in the wake of the decision of the General Medical Council of Britain to place curbs on registration of Indian doctors. The Director-General of Health Services, Dr. J.P. Shrivatsava, to-day had a meeting with the Secretary of the Medical Council of India, Dr. Krishnan, and representatives of the Indian Medical Association and discussed the various issues arising from the British decision. Dr. Shrivatsava, who had met the Indian High Commissioner and Indian doctors in London on his way back home from Geneva after attending the WHO session last week, is reported to have apprised the meeting to-day of his talks in London. Although the British Medical Council has attributed its decision to its inability to monitor the standard of medical education in India, the feeling in official circles here is that the decision is motivated by a desire to reduce the number of overseas doctors, particularly from non-European countries.

According to Axiom Space, the Axiom Mission 4 will 'realise the return' to human spaceflight for India, Poland, and Hungary, marking each nation's first government-sponsored flight in more than 40 years. While this is the second human spaceflight mission in history for these countries, it will be the first time all three will execute a mission aboard the International Space Station. This historic mission highlights how Axiom Space is redefining access to low-Earth orbit and elevating national space programmes globally. The Ax-4 crew includes members from India, Poland, and Hungary, marking each nation's first mission to the space station in history and the second government-sponsored human spaceflight mission in over 40 years, according to Axiom Space. Shubhanshu Shukla will be India's second national astronaut to go to space since 1984. Slawosz Uznanski, European Space Agency (ESA) project astronaut, will be the second Polish astronaut since 1978. Tibor Kapu will be the second national Hungarian astronaut since 1980. Peggy Whitson will command her second commercial human spaceflight mission, adding to her standing record for the longest cumulative time in space by an American astronaut. (ANI)
