Govt must compensate for sudden deaths: Samajwadi Party MP
Speaking during the Zero Hour in the Lok Sabha, Salempur MP Rajbhar alleged that several people in his parliamentary constituency, ranging from children to the elderly, had died abruptly.
'A cricketer hit a six and collapsed; a man dancing at his nephew's wedding died on the spot. A schoolgirl fainted and died. A driver suffered a heart attack while driving and died. Whether it is brain haemorrhage or cardiac arrest — these sudden deaths are happening without warning," he said.
Criticising the absence of official documentation, he said, 'There's no post-mortem, no survey, and no official record of these sudden deaths. We cannot leave these families to fend for themselves in despair." He urged the central government to investigate the incidents and provide compensation. 'The government must find a solution to this — a way to monitor and address such sudden deaths. I demand that families of the deceased be given a compensation of Rs 10 lakh," Rajbhar said.

Why Does Sex Feel Different With Different Partners?
Last Updated: This phenomenon, often shrouded in personal anecdotes and cultural narratives, actually has a foundation in scientific principles Sex may permeate our popular culture, but conversations about it are still associated with stigma and shame in Indian households. As a result, most individuals dealing with sexual health issues or trying to find information about sex often resort to unverified online sources or follow the unscientific advice of their friends. To address the widespread misinformation about sex, is running this weekly sex column, titled 'Let's Talk Sex'. We hope to initiate conversations about sex through this column and address sexual health issues with scientific insight and nuance. In this article, we will uncover how compatibility and individual differences contribute to the unique tapestry of intimacy. In the realm of intimate relationships, you may have noticed that sexual experiences can vary significantly from one partner to another. This phenomenon, often shrouded in personal anecdotes and cultural narratives, actually has a foundation in scientific principles. Understanding the reasons behind these variations can enhance your awareness of emotional, physical, and psychological factors that influence sexual experiences. The distinctive sensations experienced with different partners can often be attributed to the unique interplay of hormones. Key chemicals like dopamine, serotonin, and oxytocin are released in the brain during moments of attraction, each playing a crucial role in shaping our emotional and physical responses. Dopamine and serotonin, for instance, are responsible for the pleasurable feelings and excitement one might feel during the initial stages of attraction. Meanwhile, the release of oxytocin often called the 'love hormone" is associated with forming deeper emotional bonds and attachment. Furthermore, the body's natural scent, including the subtle influence of pheromones, forms a critical backdrop in the complex orchestra of chemical attraction. Though the role of pheromones in humans is still debated, their potential to inspire a subconscious pull cannot be completely dismissed. Certain scents may trigger nostalgia or familiarity, adding a layer of complexity to why sex feels different with distinct partners. PSYCHOLOGICAL FACTORS Emotional connections can profoundly impact the sexual experience with different partners. The depth of emotional intimacy in a relationship often influences the degree of comfort and safety one feels during intimate encounters. In relationships where emotional bonding is strong, partners might experience heightened sexual pleasure and fulfilment. This bond fosters an environment of trust, where partners can openly express their desires and boundaries, leading to more meaningful and satisfying experiences. Engaging in sexual behaviour with someone you have an emotional connection with can have positive psychological effects. Studies show that sexual interactions with romantic partners tend to be associated with more positive emotional outcomes compared to those with casual partners. For instance, relationships that are anchored in emotional intimacy are less likely to result in negative feelings post-encounter, whereas casual encounters may lead to an increased negative effect. In conclusion, the emotional landscape of a relationship significantly shapes sexual experiences, influencing both enjoyment and psychological welfare. Therefore, nurturing an emotional connection is key to enriching sexual relations and fostering a healthy emotional life. PHYSICAL ASPECTS The physical makeup of each individual contributes to the sensation experienced during sex. Body composition, which includes factors like muscle and fat distribution, skin texture, and even a partner's unique scent, plays a crucial role in determining the physical dynamics and overall tactile experience. For instance, the specific way a person's body moves can impact the friction and pressure during intimate encounters, leading to distinct sensations. Bodies also vary in temperature, with some individuals naturally running hotter or cooler than others. This variance can influence psychological and physiological responses, enhancing or altering the tactile experience. The diversity in body size and shape can lead to different positioning dynamics and levels of physical closeness, further contributing to the unique sexual experiences with different partners. HORMONAL INTERACTIONS AND CHEMISTRY Hormonal differences can also shape sexual experiences. Each partner brings a unique hormonal cocktail into the mix, which can influence arousal levels and emotional connections. Hormones such as testosterone and estrogen contribute to libido and can affect not only desire but also the intensity of the sexual experience. These biological factors can vary significantly between partners, influencing not just the physical aspect of an encounter but also its emotional depth and connection. Additionally, the pheromones released during physical interaction can distinctly impact attraction and sexual satisfaction. These chemical signals can enhance sexual arousal and bonding, making the experience with one partner feel distinct from another. Understanding these nuances highlights the intricacies of how different bodies and their unique compositions impact sexual dynamics and sensations. EXPLORING COMPATIBILITY Sexual compatibility is more than just initial attraction; it encompasses a complex interplay of factors that contribute to the overall satisfaction in intimate relationships. At its core, sexual compatibility involves aligning partners' preferences, communication styles, and emotional needs to cultivate a mutual and fulfilling experience. Open and honest communication is a cornerstone of sexual compatibility. By discussing desires, boundaries, and preferences, partners can avoid misunderstandings and build trust, essential elements in any relationship. Experts emphasize the importance of creating a safe space where both partners feel heard and validated, which enhances overall intimacy and satisfaction. Thus, communication bridges the gap between expectations and reality, leading to a more connected and exciting sexual relationship. Emotional intimacy forms the foundation of a healthy sexual relationship, nurturing trust and openness between partners. According to research, being emotionally attuned with your partner enhances sexual experiences and satisfaction. It transcends the physical realm, allowing couples to explore each other's desires and needs, deepening their bond and facilitating fulfilling sexual interactions. In exploring the scientific intricacies of why sex feels different with various partners, you gain a deeper understanding of the complex interplay between biology, psychology, and personal experiences. The unique dynamics of each relationship, influenced by chemistry, emotional connection, and individual preferences, shape your intimate encounters in distinct ways. By acknowledging these factors, you can better navigate the diverse landscape of human sexuality, fostering more meaningful and fulfilling connections. As you continue to embrace the diversity of your sexual experiences, let this knowledge empower you to cultivate a richer, more nuanced perspective on intimacy and personal growth.

Manipal Hospitals seeks CCI nod to acquire Sahyadri Hospitals for about Rs 6,400 cr
New Delhi: Healthcare major Manipal Hospitals has sought approval from the fair trade regulator CCI to acquire Pune-based Sahyadri Hospitals from global investor Ontario Teachers' Pension Plan Board in a deal pegged at around Rs 6,400 crore. The companies did not share the deal size, but industry sources estimate the transaction to be in the range of Rs 6,200-6,400 crore. "The proposed transaction envisages the acquisition of up to 100 per cent shareholding by the acquirer (Manipal Hospitals Pvt Ltd) in the target (Sahyadri Hospitals Pvt Ltd) in multiple tranches," according to a notice filed with the Competition Commission of India (CCI). Manipal Hospitals and Sahyadri Hospitals said the "proposed transaction does not have any impact on any relevant market in India, let alone any appreciable adverse effect on competition (AAEC), and therefore, the definition of the relevant product and geographic market may ultimately be left open. In any event, in order to aid and assist the CCI in its assessment". Last month, Manipal Hospitals announced that it had inked definitive agreements with Ontario Teachers' for the acquisition. The Bengaluru-based healthcare major said the acquisition of Sahyadri Hospitals will bring Manipal's total bed count to about 12,000, making it one of India's largest hospital networks. The acquisition will add 11 hospitals to Manipal's network across Pune, Nashik, Ahilya Nagar and Karad, increasing its total number of hospitals to 49, it added. Through this acquisition, Manipal said it will expand its presence in western India, in line with its strategy to augment its pan-India footprint. "With the strong partnership of our valued stakeholders like Temasek and our other investors, we are excited to grow our operations and bring Manipal's trusted brand of quality healthcare to many more patients," Manipal Health Enterprises MD and CEO Dilip Jose said. Manipal Education and Medical Group (MEMG) Chairman Ranjan Pai said the acquisition will strengthen Manipal's presence in western India. "With this expansion, Manipal Hospitals will have a network of approximately 12,000 beds nationwide, solidifying our position as one of the largest hospital chains in India," he added. Manipal Hospitals is backed by Temasek, a global investment company, headquartered in Singapore, with a net portfolio value of around USD 324 billion as of March 31, 2025. A global investor with net assets of USD 266.3 billion as of December 31, 2024, Ontario Teachers' Pension Plan Board (Ontario Teachers') acquired a majority stake in Sahyadri in 2022. The Pune-based hospital chain is now one of Maharashtra's largest, with 11 hospitals and over 1,400 beds.

British man dies after falling ill before Rs 1.73 lakh hair transplant procedure in Turkey
A British man died in Turkey after falling ill at a hair transplant clinic in Istanbul. Martyn Latchman, 38, from Milton Keynes, became unwell during the preparation stage of the procedure at Dr Cinik clinic and died later the same day, the clinic said. Turkish police have launched an investigation, as reported by The Guardian. Latchman had previously worked as a teacher for 16 years and had recently taken up a job as a defence contractor. His family said he had travelled to Turkey for a second hair transplant, costing around £1,500 (Rs 1.73 lakh). He had earlier undergone a similar procedure at the same clinic last summer. In a statement quoted by The Guardian, the clinic said: 'Prior to the second operation, all necessary medical evaluations and tests (including blood work, chest X-ray, ECG, etc) were carried out thoroughly and without omission, just as they were during the first procedure.' It added, 'These assessments were conducted under the supervision of an anaesthesiologist, and the patient was cleared for surgery. 'However, before the hair transplant procedure began and during the preparatory phase, the patient unexpectedly became unwell for reasons that are still unknown.' The clinic said emergency medical care was provided immediately, and Latchman was moved to a nearby university hospital for treatment. 'Despite ongoing intensive care treatment throughout the day, the patient sadly passed away later that evening,' the statement added. Dr Cinik clinic also said reports that Latchman died during the procedure or that the operation had to be stopped were incorrect. 'The incident occurred before the hair transplant procedure had begun,' it said. Latchman's body has been returned to the UK. A spokesperson for the Foreign Office said: 'We are supporting the family of a British man who died in Turkey and are in contact with the local authorities.' Latchman, originally from Bridgend in south Wales, had worked as assistant headteacher and head of computer science at Goldington Academy in Bedford until last year, according to his LinkedIn profile. His friends and relatives shared tributes on social media. Yashley Latchman posted a photo with the caption: 'Rest in peace, my brother.' He wrote: 'You will forever be my source of inspiration and motivation. Thanks for everything. Will miss u loads.' Dr Cinik clinic said it had carried out more than 70,000 hair transplant procedures. It is known for having international footballers as past clients, including Rio Ferdinand, Ivan Rakitić, Djibril Cissé and Rivaldo. The clinic said all medical records related to Latchman's case had been shared with the authorities. 'Due to the ongoing legal process and out of respect for the family's privacy, no further details will be disclosed at this time,' it said.
