Data-Driven Revolution: Indian Surgeons Lead the Way in Transforming Orthopaedic Care
New Delhi, July 17, 2025 – A groundbreaking study by Indian orthopaedic surgeons, published in the Indian Journal of Orthopaedics, is heralding a new era in bone and joint care. Led by Dr. Janki Sharan Bhadani, Dr. Raju Vaishya, and Dr. John Mukhopadhaya, the research showcases how cutting-edge data-driven technologies are revolutionizing orthopaedic and trauma care across India, making surgeries safer, recoveries faster, and patient outcomes better than ever before. Precision Planning with 3D Imaging Advanced 3D imaging and patient-specific surgical guides are transforming how surgeons prepare for operations. By creating detailed, computer-generated models of a patient's anatomy, surgeons can plan procedures with pinpoint accuracy, design custom implants, and reduce surgery time. This technology minimizes complications and ensures long-lasting results, offering patients a higher quality of care. Robotic Precision in the Operating Room Robotic-assisted surgery is taking precision to new heights. Systems like ROBODOC autonomously execute pre-planned tasks, while semi-active systems like MAKO and Navio allow surgeons to make real-time adjustments, combining human expertise with robotic accuracy. These tools enhance implant alignment, reduce blood loss, and accelerate recovery, ensuring artificial joints function optimally for years. Smart Monitoring for Faster Recovery Post-surgery, wearable devices and implantable sensors are empowering patients to recover smarter. These devices track movement, vital signs, and healing progress, sending real-time data to doctors. By detecting issues like infections early, this technology ensures timely interventions, boosting patient satisfaction and recovery outcomes. AI-Powered Insights Machine learning and predictive analytics are unlocking new possibilities in personalized care. By analyzing vast datasets, these tools identify high-risk patients, recommend optimal treatments, and guide recovery plans. This data-driven approach ensures tailored care that maximizes safety and effectiveness. Visualizing Success Interactive dashboards and heatmaps are helping doctors make sense of complex data. These visualization tools allow clinicians to quickly identify trends and customize treatments, ensuring every patient receives care suited to their unique needs. Bridging the Gap Despite the promise of these technologies, challenges remain. High costs, data privacy concerns, and the need for specialized training can limit access, particularly in rural areas. The researchers call for affordable solutions, increased collaboration, and clear ethical guidelines to make these innovations accessible to all Indians. A Vision for the Future The study's authors are optimistic that data-driven technologies can democratize world-class orthopaedic care. 'With the right support, these advancements can transform lives across India, offering safer surgeries and healthier futures,' said Dr. Raju Vaishya, a pioneer in patient-specific knee replacements and a key researcher in the study. About the Researchers Dr. Raju Vaishya Dr. Raju Vaishya, a renowned super-specialist in joint replacement and arthroscopic surgery, has trained over 200 orthopaedic surgeons through his fellowship program at Indraprastha Apollo Hospitals, New Delhi. His expertise spans arthritis, sports injuries, and cartilage regeneration, with numerous global publications to his name. Dr. Janki Sharan Bhadani Dr. Janki Sharan Bhadani, an Associate Consultant at Paras HMRI Hospital, Patna, brings over 11 years of experience in complex fracture management and orthopaedic surgery. Trained at prestigious institutions like Ganga Hospital, Coimbatore, and M.S. Ramaiah Medical College, Bangalore, he is a rising star in the field.

Kraft Heinz to remove all artificial dyes from its products by end of 2027
The Kraft Heinz Company said it will remove all artificial dyes from its products by the end of 2027 and will not launch any new products with those ingredients. The company said in a press release that about 10% of its products still use FD&C colors, the additives that make foods more visually appealing. A spokesperson told CNBC the products that still use the dyes include Crystal Light, Kool-Aid, MiO, Jell-O and Jet-Puffed. 'The vast majority of our products use natural or no colors, and we've been on a journey to reduce our use of FD&C colors across the remainder of our portfolio,' said Pedro Navio, North America President at Kraft Heinz. The company removed artificial colors, preservatives and flavors from its Kraft Mac & Cheese in 2016, and its Heinz Tomato Ketchup has never used artificial dyes, Navio said. Kraft Heinz said it is also working with licensees of its brands to encourage them to remove FD&C colors. In April, U.S. health officials said they would urge food makers to phase out petroleum-based artificial colors in the nation's food supply The FDA currently allows 36 food color additives, including eight synthetic dyes. In January, the agency announced that Red 3, the popular food dye that gives cherry-flavored drinks and foods the vibrant red color, will be banned in food by 2027 because it caused cancer in laboratory rats.

Kraft Heinz to remove all artificial dyes from its foods
June 17 (UPI) -- The Kraft Heinz company announced Tuesday it has begun the process to fully drop any artificial dyes being used in its foods in the United States. What this may visually mean for its colorful powdered mix creations like Kool-Aid and Jell-O is unclear, but the company says its goal is to have all Food, Drug and Cosmetic colors out of its product portfolio by the end of 2027. "The vast majority of our products use natural or no colors," said Kraft Heinz North America President Pedro Navio in a press release, "and we've been on a journey to reduce our use of [Food, Drug and Cosmetic] colors across the remainder of our portfolio." Navio also pointed out that the company had already taken out "artificial colors, preservatives, and flavors" from its Kraft Mac & Cheese, and that its Heinz Tomato Ketchup has never had artificial dyes. The company further noted in the release that almost 90% of Kraft Heinz's American products are already free of such colors and is" mobilizing a team" to help rid the dyes from the rest of its edibles. The move comes after an April announcement from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and Department of Health and Human Services that it will take measures to remove all petroleum-based synthetic dyes from American foods. "Above all, we are focused on providing nutritious, affordable, and great-tasting food for Americans and this is a privilege we don't take lightly," added Navio. Copyright 2025 UPI News Corporation.

Kraft Heinz investing $3 billion upgrading US manufacturing
Kraft Heinz is spending $3 billion to upgrade its US factories, its largest investment in its plants in a decade, even as executives say consumer sentiment is at its second-lowest point in 70 years, and it has cut sales and profit forecasts. The upgrades will help lower costs by making the plants more efficient, which in turn may help offset President Donald Trump's tariffs, which factored into the company's decision to make the investment, Pedro Navio, Kraft Heinz's president of North America, said in an interview with Reuters. The investment also allows the packaged food maker to come up with and sell new products faster, he said. Kraft Heinz manufactures its market-leading Heinz ketchup, Kraft macaroni and cheese and Philadelphia cream cheese, among other products, at 30 plants across the US. Kraft Heinz told Wall Street analysts last month that tariffs were adding to its costs and that consumers were buying less due to economic uncertainty. But the company is moving forward and making the new investment now to defend its market share, Navio said. "It goes beyond just efficiencies or dealing with the current tariff challenges," he said, saying the investment allows Kraft Heinz to produce food for the long term. The company is currently facing tariffs on imports such as coffee, after the US last month implemented a 10% levy on all imported goods. Its imports from China, which faces higher tariffs, are negligible, a spokesperson said. Kraft Heinz, which also roasts and sells Maxwell House coffee, asked suppliers for a 60-day notice before putting through price hikes. Nearly all of what Kraft Heinz sells in the US is made domestically, Navio said, adding that the company grows its own tomatoes in California and potatoes in Idaho, for example. It exports some of what it manufactures in the US to Canada, Navio said. The company expects the investment will create about 3,500 new construction jobs where the plants are located. Navio said the company does not anticipate the need for additional employees beyond that.
