Cancer and Air Pollution: The Delhi Dilemma
Cancer and air pollution are deeply intertwined in Delhi, where pollution levels rank among the highest globally. Prolonged exposure to particulate matter and carcinogenic toxins in the air increases the risk of respiratory and lung cancers. The city's residents face a significant health burden, particularly vulnerable groups like children and the elderly. Addressing this challenge requires stringent pollution control measures, public health awareness, and policy interventions. The Delhi dilemma underscores the urgent need for sustainable urban planning and environmental regulations to protect public health.

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.
