This will be the second biplane DSA in the northeast, a boon not only for the people of Meghalaya, but for the entire region," a NEIGRIHMS statement said.The newly installed Biplane DSA system offers high-resolution, real-time imaging from two perpendicular angles, providing comprehensive views of blood vessels in the brain and other critical areas, thus adding precision in
neurovascular imaging
. The dual-plane imaging facilitates accurate diagnosis and precise guidance during interventional procedures such as aneurysm coiling, arteriovenous malformation treatment, and stroke interventions.

TikTok bans SkinnyTok hashtag in Europe, says ‘We have blocked search results as it…'
Short-form video app TikTok has blocked search results for the #SkinnyTok hashtag globally after it drew sharp criticism for promoting extreme and unhealthy weight-loss content. The decision comes in response to growing pressure from European regulators and officials in France, who flagged the trend for potentially endangering young users' mental health. In a statement, TikTok spokesperson Paolo Ganino said '[We] have blocked search results for #skinnytok since it has become linked to unhealthy weight loss content'. Ganion further added that the move is part of a regular review of the platform's safety measures to address emerging risks.

Many of these posts reportedly glamorised extreme thinness and shared guilt-inducing messages like 'you aren't ugly, you are just fat'. France's Digital Minister Clara Chappaz welcomed the move, calling it a 'collective victory' after nearly two months of campaigning, which included a public petition and a meeting with TikTok executives in Dublin in early May. 'The fight to protect our children online doesn't stop there,' Chappaz said. 'I won't give up. Banning social media before 15 is my priority.' The ban has amplified calls in Brussels for stricter rules on social media use by children. EU politicians have seized on the #SkinnyTok issue to support ongoing discussions around new regulations under the Digital Services Act (DSA), which aims to strengthen content moderation across major platforms. The topic was also raised during a recent call between EU Consumer Protection Commissioner Michael McGrath and TikTok CEO Shou Chew. 'This is a live investigation which will take its course in the normal way, but I felt it was important to reiterate the Commission's strong stance on child protection,' McGrath said.

PM inaugurates HMIS system SMC-run hospitals to integrate into centralised digital health database
In a first for Gujarat, the Surat Municipal Corporation (SMC) is the first civic organisation across the state to get a centralised system which will connect multiple health institutions of the civic body and also manage information regarding the same. The Hospital Management and Information System (HMIS) for SMC was virtually inaugurated by Prime Minister Narendra Modi from Gandhinagar on Tuesday. The HMIS will provide the health institutions of the SMC with a centralised system integrated with a database so that patient treatment becomes seamless and data duplication is prevented. Meanwhile, SMC has taken a step forward in going digital by interconnecting all 80 urban health centres and hospitals. The treatment details of patients will be stored in digital format through the HMIS project, said sources. SMC sources said under the HMIS, digital OPD/IPD registrations can be done and electronic health records will be maintained. Under the HMIS, a Picture Archival and Communication System (PACS) will digitally store and archive various types of radiological images from sonography, X-ray etc. Under the HMIS, a Queue Management System (QMS) in SMIMER hospital will also help the patients by providing digital tokens. The e-Health Mobile App under the HMIS will help the patient to save and check their medical history and treatment expenses. Sources said, as the information of the patient will be available in the system, the doctors will be able to make quick and appropriate decisions. The SMC, will also give an e-health card and Unique Health ID (UHID) to every patient to track information related to health services. Surat Municipal Corporation Health Officer Pradeep Umrigar told The Indian Express, 'We have implemented HMIS in all 80 urban health centres, six hospitals (zone-wise), SMIMER and Maskati hospital. The HMIS is a paperless project. Patients should first get their UHID, after which they can avail all the facilities. Doctors, pharmacists, and laboratories can also access the details using the patient's UHID number. As of now, UHID cards have been given to 4000 patients from urban health centres, 2400 from SMIMER and 400 from Maskati hospital.'
