Passenger injured in Mumbra train mishap dies after 10 days in ICU; toll rises to 5
A 51-year-old passenger, Anil More, died from injuries sustained in the Mumbra train accident. The accident occurred last Monday. More's death raises the total death count to five.
THANE: A 51-year-old passenger injured in last Monday's Mumbra train mishap succumbed to his injuries Thursday morning at a private hospital in Thane city, taking the toll to five, officials informed.
The deceased, identified as Anil More, was a resident of Shahpur and worked in Kalwa. He was travelling on the footboard in the CSMT-bound local that originated from Kasara and was among those who fell off the train in the incident, which left four others dead and nine injured to date.
It may be recalled that around four passengers died and ten suffered injuries in a freak mishap after falling off two suburban trains headed in opposite directions as they were crossing each other on adjoining tracks at the Diva-end of Mumbra railway station.
More, along with another passenger who fell off the train, suffered serious head injuries and was admitted in critical condition to the CSMH Kalwa hospital. He was later shifted to the private hospital, where he was in the ICU for the last ten days. His condition remained critical. He eventually passed away Thursday morning, informed a hospital staff member.
More's body was being taken to the civil hospital for post-mortem, following which it would be handed over to his family by Thursday evening, the Thane railway police said.

Meanwhile, activists have questioned the apathy shown by the railway administration in increasing local services to the extended suburbs beyond Kalyan towards Kasara and Karjat, which presently operate at an interval of over an hour, inadequate considering the growth in these regions.
'We have been demanding shuttle services till Kalyan or Thane from these far-off suburbs, which will greatly help reduce the crowding. Also, we have been demanding that Diva halts to Kasara-Karjat and Khopoli trains be removed and instead those originating from Kalyan, Titwala, or Ambernath be introduced,' said railway activist Rajesh Ghangav.

What if AI holds the key to healing our minds?
Note: AI-generated image Mental health isn't a whisper anymore. It's a shout. In every hallway, every screen, and every corner of our consciousness, it demands attention. Yet, the tools we've had—therapy rooms, pills, human check-ins—are no longer enough. The mind's chaos has outgrown the old scripts. Enter AI. Not some cold, indifferent machine. But an unassuming force — tireless, patient, unbiased — ready to listen when humans cannot. Could this artificial presence be the healer we never expected? The Mind's Invisible Cracks For years, mental health care operated like a fire brigade—arriving after the blaze, patching wounds, hoping for the best. But the fires today are different: micro-burns of stress, anxiety flickers, silent spirals of despair. They don't wait for scheduled sessions; they happen live, inside us, every minute. AI doesn't wait either. It listens continuously through your voice, your words, and your digital footprints. It detects the subtle shifts before you even notice them yourself. A whisper of sadness in your tone, a pattern of withdrawal in your messages, a dip in your daily activity. The machine doesn't understand feelings like we do, but it recognizes their signals with laser precision. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Memperdagangkan CFD Emas dengan salah satu spread terendah? IC Markets Mendaftar Undo What's more, AI can visually interpret facial lines, micro-expressions, and behavior patterns—those tiny clues we often miss in ourselves and others. These markers, when processed at scale, make stress monitoring faster, more objective, and far more accessible than ever before. With the right tools, this isn't just surveillance—it's self-awareness, democratized. Why Does It Matter if AI Can't 'Feel'? Here's the real question: Does AI need to feel? Humans crave empathy because we live inside feelings. AI lives inside data. It's not about replacing human warmth; it's about augmenting it. Offering a mirror that reflects your emotional landscape without judgment, shame, or exhaustion. That quiet nudge when you're slipping. That gentle prompt to breathe, reflect, and reach out. Sometimes, that's enough. Beyond Therapy's Four Walls Therapy has its place. But what about the millions who never step inside? The ones burdened by stigma, by cost, by time, by geography? AI breaks those walls. It scales empathy beyond human limits, making support available at any time, anywhere. From a teenager struggling with loneliness in Mumbai to a stressed executive in Toronto, AI doesn't discriminate. It learns your unique emotional language and meets you where you are. AI-generated representative image And in the rising tide of addiction—alcohol, smoking, digital dependency, and more—AI offers new hope. De-addiction doesn't always need a clinic or a centre. It requires continuous guidance, micro-interventions, and accountability. AI delivers this. Quiet reminders. Progress tracking. Behavioral nudges. Emotional check-ins. All at scale. As the population grows, human-only intervention becomes impractical; AI makes de-addiction scalable, efficient, and accessible. The Collective Stress We Ignore Stress isn't just personal failure; it's a societal epidemic. Ambition wears stress like a badge, but beneath that facade lies exhaustion, disconnection, and burnout. To fight it, stress management must become collective, not just a task on your to-do list. AI's role? To be the ever-present companion, holding space when no one else can. Not to replace human connection, but to amplify it, remind us of what we forget: to slow down, to notice, to care. And in this collective response, AI-powered stress monitoring becomes a force multiplier. It doesn't just observe—it prevents, it supports, it learns. Facial lines, subtle expressions, and even blinking patterns offer clues that AI decodes in real-time. It transforms stress from something silently suffered to something visibly mapped and actively managed. Healing Minds, Healing Systems Here's a hard truth: Globally, millions are struggling. According to the WHO, nearly 1 in 8 people live with some form of mental health challenge. Yet, mental health systems groan under the weight of demand. There are barely enough professionals to go around, and many face barriers, such as cost, stigma, and distance, that block access to care. The old model of therapy, boundby office hours and human limits, simply can't keep up. AI forces us to rethink healing. To fuse human wisdom with digital intelligence. To embrace a future where algorithms don't replace therapists—they empower them. Are you on a media diet too? The Question Isn't If, But When AI is already here. Quiet, persistent, learning. The question is no longer can it help, but why did we hesitate so long to let it in? Because healing the mind isn't about magic—it's about evolution. And sometimes, the key to evolution lies in the unlikeliest of places: a machine that listens better than we do.

What happens if you don't eat for a week? New simulation reveals real risks and surprising body changes
Fasting for extended periods has gained popularity as a method for weight loss and health improvement. While intermittent and alternate-day fasting are widely practiced, complete fasting for a week pushes the boundaries of this trend. A new simulation on YouTube and supporting medical research from National Institutes of Health (NIH) now reveal what truly happens when someone avoids all food for seven consecutive days. Early Days: Hunger and Hormonal Shifts Within the first 24 to 48 hours of fasting, the body uses up its remaining carbohydrate stores. Once glucose from recent meals is depleted, a hormone called ghrelin spikes, triggering strong hunger signals. During this phase, most people begin to feel weak or irritable as their energy levels drop sharply.

By the second or third day, the body starts to adjust. Growth hormone levels rise, which slows down muscle breakdown more than many expect. This adaptation aims to preserve lean mass while the body switches its primary energy source from carbohydrates to fat. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like War Thunder - Register now for free and play against over 75 Million real Players War Thunder Play Now Undo Mid-Fast: Entering Fat-Burning Mode From the third to fourth day, glycogen reserves are gone, and the liver begins producing ketones—molecules created from fat to provide fuel for the brain and body. This marks the metabolic shift from sugar-burning to fat-burning, often referred to as the 'ketogenic state.' Around day four or five, a process called autophagy becomes more active. This is the body's internal cleanup system, where damaged cells and proteins, including potentially harmful ones, are broken down and removed. Some believe this process supports disease prevention and cellular rejuvenation. Late Stage: Healing or Harm? By days five to seven, autophagy is said to reach its peak. Some claim this period brings deeper healing effects, including improved mental clarity and inflammation reduction. However, risks also increase at this stage. While fat continues to be burned, muscle breakdown becomes more noticeable due to a lack of protein and essential nutrients. According to a controlled study conducted by health researchers, participants who fasted for 10 days under supervision lost nearly 10% of their body weight. Most of that came from fat, though some lean mass loss occurred. Pulse rates increased slightly, and blood pressure dropped. Importantly, a new metabolic balance was achieved between the third and sixth day, marked by stable ketone production. Physical Impact and Medical Observations Biochemical analysis from the 10-day study also revealed several shifts. Levels of total cholesterol and LDL cholesterol went up, while levels of sodium and chlorine dropped. The kidneys showed minor stress, though liver function remained steady. Interestingly, fat-soluble vitamins increased during the fast, while energy levels were maintained through ketone use. Experts involved in the simulation and research caution that while a week-long fast may provide certain health benefits, it must be approached with care. The absence of food for this long can induce stress on multiple organ systems. Drinking water, herbal teas, or black coffee (without sugar or milk) is typically allowed to help manage symptoms, but professional medical supervision is highly recommended. A seven-day fast might offer detox-like effects through autophagy and fat burning, but it also puts the body under considerable strain. While short-term fasting methods like intermittent fasting are widely considered safe for many people, prolonged fasting is a different matter. Individual responses vary, and what begins as a health experiment can quickly turn dangerous if warning signs are ignored. Ultimately, anyone considering a week-long fast should seek medical advice beforehand. What seems like a powerful cleanse could easily become a very risky gamble without the right knowledge and guidance.

Kashmiri students relieved to be back home; praise for MEA for swift evacuation from Iran
Saba, who went to Iran in 2021 to pursue MBBS, is among the 110 students that returned India as part of Operation Sindhu SRINAGAR: For Saba Rasool, a medical student at Urmia University of Medical Sciences in Iran, the journey back home to Safakadal in Srinagar was long and fraught with anxiety. Relieved to be back home from war-torn Iran, she is also worried about the future. The conflict erupted with little warning, said Saba. 'Initially, we thought it would settle down in a few days. But, as the situation worsened and the war intensified, we began to worry,' she added. There are around 100 Indian students at her university, 90 of them from Kashmir. Since the 1990s, Kashmiri students have been pursuing medical education abroad, particularly in Central Asian countries, Southeast Asia, Pakistan and Iran. In recent years, Eastern Europe and Bangladesh have also emerged as preferred destinations for medical studies for Kashmiris. Since degrees obtained in Pakistan — whether MBBS, BDS, engineering or others — by students who enrolled after 2018 are not recognised in India, according to two separate orders issued in 2022 by the National Medical Commission and the All India Council for Technical Education, students are usually not opting for Pakistan now. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Memperdagangkan CFD Emas dengan salah satu spread terendah? IC Markets Mendaftar Undo G N Var, a prominent educationist from J&K, said medical education in Iran is quite affordable due to the lower value of Iranian rial against the dollar, and that's why, the country has become a preferred destination for Kashmiris. 'Studying medicine in Iran costs around Rs 8 to Rs 10 lakh, whereas in Bangladesh it can go up to Rs 40 lakh,' Var said. Saba, who went to Iran in 2021 to pursue MBBS, is now in fourth year. Sensing an imminent internet shutdown after the Israeli airstrikes, she quickly called her family to let them know she was safe. 'As the bombings increased, we realised things were going out of control,' she said. It started with drone attacks, and then attacks on Tabriz and Mashhad airports. Then the MEA stepped in, evacuating students from Urmia University of Medical Sciences to neighbouring Armenia. From there, with assistance from the Indian Embassy, they were flown back to Delhi. The university assured the students it would remain closed only for a month, but Saba is not optimistic. 'It doesn't look like this will end in a month,' she said. While the students were full of praise for MEA's swift response, and the support of the university and people in Iran, many were critical of J&K administration for what they called an inadequate reception back home. 'At Delhi airport, we felt the J&K govt did not step up the way it should have,' Saba said. 'We were told buses had been arranged for us, but they were in poor condition. So, I arranged for my own travel, and many other students did the same. ' Following complaints from students, chief minister Omar Abdullah directed officials to arrange deluxe buses for them. Nasir Khuehamai, national convenor, Jammu & Kashmir Students Association (JKSA), said around 600 Indian students, including 500 from Kashmir, had safely reached Mashhad from Qom. 'This is the second group of students who were earlier relocated to Qom, where they stayed for three days. Their evacuation process is currently underway,' he said. Mashhad, a border city in Iran, is located around 1,000 km from Qom, a journey that takes around 15 hours by road. 'The students are from Islamic Azad University, Iran University of Medical University, Shahed Beheshti University, and other institutions. 'From Mashhad, they are expected to be taken to Turkmenistan, from where they will likely board flights to Delhi tomorrow (Friday),' Nasir said. However, students from Tehran Medical University took to social media and said they had been relocated by the university administration to Gilan Province of Iran, but after their relocation, the Indian Embassy had not contacted them.
