Stem Cell Therapies
Stem cell therapies are a promising area of medical research and treatment with the potential to revolutionize healthcare. Stem cells are undifferentiated cells with the unique ability to develop into various specialized cell types within the body. There are different types of stem cells, including embryonic stem cells, induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs), and adult stem cells, each with distinct properties and sources. Stem cell therapies hold promise for treating a wide range of medical conditions, including degenerative diseases, autoimmune disorders, and injuries.Stem cells are at the forefront of regenerative medicine, where they can be used to repair or replace damaged tissues and organs. Embryonic stem cells, derived from early-stage embryos, have the greatest differentiation potential but also raise ethical concerns due to their source. Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells are reprogrammed adult cells that can be transformed into pluripotent stem cells, eliminating some ethical concerns associated with embryonic stem cells. Adult stem cells are found in various tissues and organs throughout the body and play a role in tissue repair and maintenance.

Upcoming Case Discussions
Gynaecologist’s Guide to Ovarian Cancer
Join us for a special webinar on World Ovarian Cancer Day, titled "Gynaecologist’s Guide to Ovarian Cancer." This expert-led session will delve into the latest advancements in early diagnosis, risk stratification, and evidence-based management of ovarian cancer. Tailored for gynecologists and healthcare professionals, the session will also explore real-world case discussions and multidisciplinary treatment approaches. Let’s come together to raise awareness and empower clinicians in the fight against this silent but deadly disease
Massive Transfusion Protocol
Massive Transfusion Protocol (MTP) is a standardized medical procedure activated in cases of severe hemorrhage, typically involving the rapid administration of large volumes of blood products. The goal is to restore circulating volume, maintain hemostasis, and prevent the lethal triad of hypothermia, acidosis, and coagulopathy. MTP usually involves a balanced ratio of packed red blood cells, plasma, and platelets, often in a 1:1:1 ratio. Early activation and coordination among trauma teams, laboratory services, and blood banks are essential for its success.
Sleep Apnea and Daytime Fatigue
Sleep Disorder Breathing is a term for a group of conditions with abnormal breathing patterns during sleep. This affects everyday functioning and well being.There are few types of SDB which include upper airways resistance, hypopnea, apnea, catathrenia and heavy snoring. People suffering with SDB can have daytime symptoms that result in poor sleep also. There can also be sleepiness, depressed mood, irritability and cognitive dysfunction.
