Significant neuro problems linked to Covid vaccines found: NIMHANS study
Led by Dr Netravathi M, Professor of Neurology at NIMHANS, the studies span both the first wave of the pandemic and the subsequent vaccination drive, offering insights into how the virus and the global response to it has affected the central and peripheral nervous system. Between March and September 2020, NIMHANS reviewed hospital records of 3,200 patients with neurological illnesses. Among them, 120 patients (3.75%) had confirmed Covid infections accompanied by neurological disorders. The median age of these patients was 49 years, with a range from 3 to 84 years.
Common symptoms included altered consciousness (47%), seizures (21%), and anosmia (14.2%). Many patients (49%) had a preceding fever, a press release issued from the office of the state Medical Education Minister on Tuesday stated.
Researchers noted that Covid can cause neurological symptoms through direct viral involvement, hypoxia, thrombotic complications, or autoimmune mechanisms.
'Neurological disturbances observed in both active and post-Covid phases'
Importantly, neurological disturbances were observed in both active and post-Covid phases, indicating a need for long-term monitoring of patients even after recovery.

With high-profile events like the Women's Euro Final, Formula 1 races, and the Women's Rugby World Cup on the calendar, speculation is mounting over whether a stadium filled with spectators could become the stage for a historic, televised moment. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like She Was Everyone's Dream Girl In 90's, This Is Her Recently. Investructor Undo Adding weight to the prophecy is Brazilian psychic Athos Salomé, dubbed the 'Living Nostradamus,' who echoed a similar vision. As reported by the New York Post, Salomé believes scientific advancement—not flying saucers—will lead to alien discovery, pointing to NASA's James Webb Space Telescope as a key instrument in confirming intelligent extraterrestrial life. 'Thanks to the James Webb Telescope, humanity might finally get the answer to the existence of alien life,' Salomé explained. 'Governments like the U.S. may declassify UFO files. If true, these discoveries could revolutionize our understanding of the universe—and ourselves.' Live Events What Else Did Baba Vanga Predict for 2025? While alien contact has made headlines, Vanga's 2025 predictions extend well beyond interstellar matters. Here's a look at what she reportedly foresaw: Natural Disasters in Asia A major natural disaster—possibly an earthquake followed by a tsunami—striking Asia. While no date was given, the threat remains significant in seismically active regions. Global Economic Collapse She warned of a severe economic downturn, marked by widespread unemployment and financial instability—anxiety that resonates in today's volatile global markets. New Diseases and Medical Breakthroughs Vanga predicted the emergence of unknown illnesses, but also medical breakthroughs, including prosthetic organs and potential cures for chronic conditions. Europe's Shrinking Population She foresaw a dramatic population decline in Europe, echoing current demographic trends of declining birth rates and aging populations. End of Social Divisions In a more optimistic vision, Vanga predicted the end of caste and racial divisions, envisioning a more unified and inclusive human society.

Efforts on to reopen GMSH-16 drug de-addiction centre closed for 5 years
The Chandigarh administration has once again initiated efforts to reopen the drug de-addiction centre at Government Multi-Specialty Hospital (GMSH), Sector 16, which has remained closed for the last five years. The health department has been asked to make arrangements, but due to a shortage of psychiatrists, the centre is yet to become operational. According to Dr Suman Singh, Director of Health Services, a proposal has already been sent to the administration for the recruitment of two psychiatrists. She mentioned that the department currently has only two psychiatrists who are already overloaded with patient cases, making it impossible to run the de-addiction centre with the existing staff. Therefore, additional dedicated staff is essential. This de-addiction centre at GMSH was first opened around 10 years ago but had to be shut during the Covid-19 pandemic when the facility was converted into a Covid care centre. Since then, the lack of psychiatrists and other staff has prevented its reopening. The facility is equipped with 10 beds, but to operate efficiently, it requires 24×7 staff, including psychiatrists and clinical psychologists. As only two psychiatrists are available for all psychiatric and addiction cases, managing the high patient load from the entire region is a challenge. Drug and alcohol abuse remain a major issue in this region, contributing to the rising number of addiction patients. Despite the rising numbers, PGI remains the only public institution offering full-scale addiction treatment, while GMCH-32 and GMSH-16 offer basic psychiatric services. In 2023, PGI's Drug De-addiction and Treatment Centre recorded 36,683 OPD visits, 12,570 from Chandigarh and 24,112 from neighbouring states. Approximately 246 patients were admitted for inpatient treatment, with a significant number from Punjab. In Punjab, the highest use is of opioids, with synthetic drugs now also being used more frequently. Subodh B N, Additional Professor, Department of Psychiatry, PGI, says that a decade ago, 80 per cent of cases were of alcohol dependency. Still, now the percentage is 50, as the use of opioids and cannabis has increased, with PGI offering patients Opioid Substitution Therapy. Doctors stress that without dedicated staff and proper infrastructure, the situation will continue to push patients toward unregulated private de-addiction centres, especially in Punjab. Reopening GMSH's de-addiction centre remains a critical need, but hiring qualified professionals continues to be a major hurdle.
