Minister Rajanna orders health screenings for all schoolchildren in Hassan

Happy pets, happy vets
PUNJAB : Has it ever occurred to you that our four-legged friends also deserve top-tier health treatment? Thanks to advancements in veterinary medicine, over 24,000 to 25,000 canines undergo treatment under one roof at the Multi-speciality Veterinary Hospital of Guru Angad Dev Veterinary and Animal Sciences University (GADVASU) in Ludhiana every year. From rare heart surgeries, dialyses and eye operations to dental treatment, skin care and general check-ups, this vet facility has got our furry buddies covered. They even maintain a blood bank for dogs. However, the care is not limited to dogs. As many as 30,000 to 32,000 animals, including canines, get treated at the hospital annually. Many of them report cases of tick fever, dehydration, hairfall, skin problems and parvovirus enteritis, besides other infectious and non-infectious conditions. Talking to this newspaper, Dr Jitender Mohindroo, Director of Clinics, said that around 80 dogs are treated at the facility for various disorders and fractured or dislocated bones every day. 'It is common for canines to sustain injuries in road mishaps or get hurt after falling from a great height,' he says. But it's not like misfortune only chases behind dogs. Dr Mohindroo has observed a new trend emerge in the post-Covid years. 'An average of four exotic cats are brought here for treatment daily, he says, noting that many of the felines land up here after being attacked by dogs. Dr Gurpreet Singh Preet of the Medicine Department says, 'Around 70 to 80 dogs are brought to the medicine OPD daily.' He adds, 'In summers, dogs tend to suffer from skin and tick-borne diseases as well as kidney and liver infections. In winters, they mostly contract viral diseases.'' Dwelling on the care diseased and wounded animals receive here, Dr Arun Anand, HoD of Veterinary Surgery, shared, 'We performed a rare heart surgery on a two-year-old beagle a couple of weeks back as the dog was suffering from patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) — a heart condition in which a blood vessel fails to close shortly after birth. The dog was examined in the medicine department, where it underwent routine as well as advanced tests, such as echocardiography.' He added, 'It was a one-hour-long surgery, after which it was kept under observation for four days at the critical care unit.'

Overwhelmed by exams? This 2-minute trick can boost focus and calm
When exams near, tension fills the air and students hunched over books, into the night with coffee, worried about their grades, and feel pressure to do well. This hypothetical missed opportunity makes them feel bad, hurt their health, and hurt their academic performance. Coaching, smart time management, tutoring, and even performance-enhancing drugs are all suggested as solutions. However, mindful breathing is one of the simplest, oldest, and most effective methods that is still not used enough. The study of breathing Breathing is not just being alive; it's also a sign of how you're feeling. Our breath changes when we are anxious or stressed – our breathing often gets shorter and faster, which sends signals to the brain that we are in danger, and the body's fight-or-flight response starts. On the other hand, slow and deep breathing tells the nervous system that everything is fine, which helps you relax, focus, and see things clearly. Deep, rhythmic breathing directly stimulates the vagus nerve that controls how the body reacts to stress. This activation makes the parasympathetic nervous system work better, which makes you feel calm, lowers your heart rate, lowers your blood pressure, and calms your mind. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Cara Membantu Orang Terkasih Menghadapi Limfoma Limfoma Pelajari Undo Mindful breathing is the switch that turns chaos into clarity. And it works in less than two minutes, is free, and is easy to get. Why students need this right now A survey of several Indian universities in 2024 found that almost 68% of students have high to very high levels of stress during exams. Academic stress, comparing yourself to others, being afraid of failing, and family expectations are some of the main causes. Stress makes it harder to remember things, solve problems, and stay emotionally strong, though. Mindful breathing every day, especially when you're studying, helps avoid problems and fix them. What does it mean to breathe mindfully? Mindful breathing means paying full attention to your breath without changing it at first. It keeps your mind in the present, breaking the cycle of stress and overthinking. You don't need any special equipment or knowledge to do this. You can do it with your eyes open or closed, standing or sitting. Try this simple exercise: The 2-minute breath awareness practice: Sit up straight and relax your shoulders. Shut your eyes or look down softly. Focus on your breathing. Just watch the air come in through your nose, fill your lungs, and then leave. Don't try to change it; just watch the breath. If thoughts come up (they will), just go back to your breath. Do this for 2 to 5 minutes. Doing this 3–4 times a day, like before and after studying or before an exam, can make a big difference. Breathing gives your brain a boost Mindfulness breathing increases activity in the prefrontal cortex that controls reasoning, decision-making, and focus. It also calms down the amygdala, which controls fear and anxiety. A study published in Frontiers in Human Neuroscience found that college students who practised mindful breathing for just 10 minutes a day had much better working memory and lower levels of cortisol (the stress hormone) during tests. In India, where ancient yogic traditions have known for a long time how powerful pranayama (controlled breathing) is, this knowledge fits perfectly with what scientists around the world are learning about the brain. A habit that must be cultured Breathing to your school & home life: Before you start studying, take three minutes to breathe mindfully to calm your mind and improve your focus. Take short breaks to breathe and let go of stress. This will help you refocus your attention. Before the test, take slow, deep breaths in the exam room to calm your nerves. While reading questions, take a conscious breath before answering. This short break helps you remember things and make better choices. After studying, take some time to relax and be aware of your breath to help your brain process what you've learnt. Schools and colleges should have places where students can relax and practice mindfulness. In conclusion, breath is the bridge. Mindful breathing is being aware and doing more. With just a few deep breaths, you can turn stress into calm, anxiety into focus, and performance pressure into calmness. Saying: "When the breath wanders, the mind is unsteady." The mind and breath are proportionate. Dr. Saamdu Chetri, Prof. Mentor/Director, Shoolini University, Bajhol, Solan
