Mysuru doctor wins Young Investigator Award
Mysuru: Dr Aathira Ravindranath, a specialist in paediatric gastroenterology at Apollo BGS Hospitals, Mysuru, won the Young Investigator Award at the 57th Annual Conference of the European Society of Paediatric Gastroenterology Hepatology and Nutrition in Helsinki, Finland.
This award was given in recognition of her work in the field of paediatric gastroenterology. She delivered two oral presentations demonstrating complex therapeutic endoscopic procedures in children. In addition, she presented her research papers on chronic pancreatitis and inflammatory bowel disease, a release said.
"There is a surge in conditions like inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) due to changes in our dietary patterns. These diseases can present with loose stools, blood in stools, pain in the abdomen, and poor growth. We have children as young as three months with IBD. We are able to diagnose them on time and initiate treatment early, which will affect the long-term outcomes positively. There are many children with pancreatitis–a condition where the pancreas gets swollen and causes intense pain.
Gradually, permanent damage occurs to the pancreas," she said.

Lambourn makes history with Irish Derby win
Lambourn extended Aidan O'Brien's superb record in the Irish Derby, as the 8-13 favourite's stamina came to the fore to become the 20th horse to complete the Anglo-Irish double after his win at Epsom three weeks was not plain sailing for the victor, who was pushed hard by Ballydoyle stablemate Serious Contender but found the reserves with the finish line in sight to win by three-quarters of a pre-race favourite was expected to turn in a similar run to what it produced on the Surrey Downs when ridden by Wayne Lordan - this time on Puppet Master - but did not have it all his own way as Ralph Beckett's Sir Dinadan proved a test for jockey Ryan Moore to navigate in the early they rounded for home, Moore got Lambourn into position, but suddenly had King George V Stakes runner-up Serious Contender for looked set for a close finish as they entered the final furlong, but the class and stamina of Lambourn shone through as he galloped to the line and into the history books alongside his sire Australia and grand-sire Galileo, who also did the Anglo-Irish Derby Contender finished second at 28-1, with Charlie Johnston's Epsom runner-up Lazy Griff staying on for third at 14-1. "He's a very straightforward horse that gets the trip well," said a delighted O'Brien."Ryan was going to be happy if someone came with him as that keeps him focused. He's a little bit laid back, a little bit lazy and you could see up the straight he was waiting all the time but that's him. Ryan gave him a lovely ride."Ryan thought he would keep pulling out and he was pricking his ears all the way."He could be a King George horse, he could be an Arc horse. He gets the trip well and is very sound and very genuine."We minded the second horse for a handicap in Ascot that we thought he couldn't get beat, and then a horse came and beat us that was entered in the King George so it just goes to show what can happen."

PSG rout Messi's Inter Miami to reach Club World Cup quarters
Inter Miami forward Lionel Messi could not prevent his side falling to a heavy defeat by Paris Saint-Germain (FRANCK FIFE) Paris Saint-Germain steamrollered Lionel Messi's Inter Miami 4-0 to reach the Club World Cup quarter-finals on Sunday. Miami hoped the Argentine superstar's magic could help them produce an unlikely result against his former side, but the Major League Soccer side were dismantled in Atlanta by Luis Enrique's rampant European champions. Advertisement Ageing great Messi and his former Barcelona team-mates Luis Suarez, Sergio Busquets and Jordi Alba had done well to reach the last 16 but the gulf in quality between the teams was laid bare over the 90 minutes. Joao Neves netted twice for PSG, who benefitted from a Tomas Aviles own goal, while Achraf Hakimi was also on target. After Neves opened the scoring early on Miami resisted until PSG hit three goals in 10 minutes towards the end of the first half. Messi was the main draw, as fans chanted his name and most of the 66,000 crowd were clad in Miami's hot pink interspersed with Argentina shirts. Advertisement PSG dominated from the start, with Khvicha Kvaratskhelia floating into the box and teeing up Bradley Barcola, but Miami goalkeeper Oscar Ustari thwarted him with an outstretched leg. However shortly afterwards over-run Miami right-back Marcelo Weigandt fouled Desire Doue and it led to PSG's opener. Vitinha whipped a free-kick to the back post where Portuguese midfielder Neves ran in completely unmarked, stooping to nod past Ustari after six minutes. PSG's Fabian Ruiz had a goal disallowed for offside before Miami defender Noah Allen limped off injured in a further blow for Javier Mascherano's side. Advertisement With the Ligue 1 champions pressing high and keeping possession Miami found it hard to get Messi involved. The 38-year-old Argentine superstar played a superbly weighted pass down the right flank for Tadeo Allende but a rare Miami break came to nothing. Messi's intermittent interventions were not enough to hold back the Parisian tide. PSG doubled their lead in the 39th minute when veteran holding midfielder Busquets got his footwork wrong in front of his own box. Spanish compatriot Ruiz rapidly relieved him of the ball and combined with Barcola to set up Neves to tap home his second. PSG grabbed their third when Aviles deflected Doue's cross into his own net, and Hakimi netted the fourth before half-time to put PSG out of sight. Advertisement The Morocco international's first effort was deflected onto the crossbar but he stayed alert at the air-conditioned Mercedes-Benz Stadium to fire home the rebound. Eight-time Ballon d'Or winner Messi lost his cool with a swipe aimed at Vitinha as the Argentine raged against the midfielder, Miami's impotence and PSG's swagger. - Determined Messi - Messi produced a brilliant pass for Suarez early in the second half, chipping a ball over the PSG defence, but the Uruguayan could not finish to offer Miami a lifeline. Despite the impossibility of a comeback -- there was to be no comeback like the one Luis Enrique's Barcelona managed in 2017 against PSG from four goals down in which Messi and Suarez scored -- the Argentine was determined to bow out with a bang. Advertisement Messi drew a first save from PSG's Gianluigi Donnarumma after the hour mark with a low effort. Luis Enrique sent on winger Ousmane Dembele for his first appearance at the tournament after a hamstring injury, but the Frenchman was rusty and imprecise. When Suarez was fouled by Lucas Beraldo on the edge of the box Messi had the chance to repeat his free-kick winner against Porto in the group stage, but his effort hit the wall. It was not to be for Messi or Miami, but their second-half performance was respectable and the defeat was by a lesser margin than the French side's 5-0 Champions League final thrashing of Inter Milan. PSG will face Bayern Munich or Flamengo in the quarter-finals in Atlanta on Saturday. rbs/mw
