Launch of Kauvery Integrated Stroke Centre (KISC)

Stroke or Brain Attack

What Is a Stroke?

A stroke or brain attack occurs when a blood vessel to the brain is blocked (Ischaemic) or leaks blood (Haemorrhagic).

In either situation, the brain does not receive enough blood and oxygen, resulting in damage and death of brain cells. 

The patient will have symptoms related to the lack of blood supply, mostly weakness of limbs.

Why the Hurry? - Because Time Is Brain

Each second that the brain does not receive proper blood flow and oxygen, 30,000 brain cells die.

To reduce the damage done, the patient should be taken to a hospital that is well-equipped to treat stroke.

A stroke or paralysis can be reversed if the patient reaches on time before any critical damage to the brain happens.

Don't waste time. The earlier the patient reaches a stroke-ready hospital the better.

"Clot Buster" medicines and procedures like Mechanical Thrombectomy can effectively reverse a stroke.

Stroke or Brain Attack Affects One in Four Individuals at Some Point of Time in Their Lives.

Kauvery Integrated Stroke Centre is an Advanced and Comprehensive Centre for Stroke and Cerebrovascular Diseases

Advance Stroke

A one-of-its-kind centre, envisaged by Dr Krish Sridhar, it provides 24x7 integrated care, bringing together specialists from different specialties to provide a seamless, cohesive, concentrated and collective effort to ensure the best outcomes. KISC also ensures international standards of care, using protocols and processes which are regularly audited and quality checked.

AM FM RADIO Technology

Radio is a technology that uses electromagnetic waves to transmit information through the air. Here’s a detailed summary of how radio works, its history, components, and applications:

### How Radio Works

1. **Transmission**: 

   - **Modulation**: The process of encoding information onto a carrier wave. There are two main types:

     - **Amplitude Modulation (AM)**: Varies the amplitude of the carrier wave.

     - **Frequency Modulation (FM)**: Varies the frequency of the carrier wave.

   - **Carrier Wave**: A high-frequency electromagnetic wave that carries the information signal.

   - **Transmitter**: Converts the information (audio, data) into an electromagnetic signal.

2. **Propagation**: 

   - Electromagnetic waves travel through the air and can reflect off the ionosphere, allowing long-distance transmission.

   - Different frequencies propagate differently; AM waves can travel longer distances due to ground wave propagation, while FM waves are better for short distances with line-of-sight propagation.

3. **Reception**: 

   - **Receiver**: Captures the electromagnetic waves.

   - **Demodulation**: Extracts the original information signal from the carrier wave.

   - **Antenna**: Captures the electromagnetic waves from the air.

### History

- **Late 19th Century**: 

  - **James Clerk Maxwell**: Theoretical work on electromagnetic waves.

  - **Heinrich Hertz**: Demonstrated the existence of electromagnetic waves.

- **Early 20th Century**: 

  - **Guglielmo Marconi**: Developed practical wireless telegraphy systems, conducted transatlantic radio transmission.

  - **Reginald Fessenden**: Made the first audio radio broadcast.

  - **Edwin Armstrong**: Invented FM radio.

- **1920s-1930s**: The golden age of radio, with widespread adoption for broadcasting music, news, and entertainment.

### Components of a Radio System

1. **Transmitter**: Includes the modulator, oscillator, amplifier, and antenna.

2. **Receiver**: Includes the antenna, tuner, demodulator, amplifier, and speaker or display.

3. **Antenna**: Crucial for both transmitting and receiving signals.

4. **Power Source**: Batteries or mains electricity.

### Types of Radio

- **AM Radio**: Suitable for long-distance communication but more susceptible to noise.

- **FM Radio**: Provides better sound quality and is less susceptible to noise but has a shorter range.

- **Shortwave Radio**: Used for long-distance communication, including international broadcasting.

- **Satellite Radio**: Broadcasts via satellites, offering a wide range of channels with clear reception.

- **Digital Radio**: Includes DAB (Digital Audio Broadcasting) and HD Radio, providing higher quality and more stations.

### Applications

- **Broadcasting**: Music, news, talk shows, and emergency alerts.

- **Communication**: Two-way radios (walkie-talkies), maritime, aviation, and military communications.

- **Navigation**: Systems like GPS rely on radio signals from satellites.

- **Science and Exploration**: Radio telescopes in astronomy, communication with spacecraft.

- **Industrial and Medical**: RF identification (RFID), MRI machines in medical imaging.

### Advantages and Disadvantages

- **Advantages**:

  - Wireless communication.

  - Ability to cover large areas.

  - Portability and ease of use.

- **Disadvantages**:

  - Susceptible to interference and noise.

  - Limited bandwidth and data rate compared to modern digital communications.

Radio remains a vital technology for communication, entertainment, and information dissemination, continuing to evolve with digital advancements and integration into modern technologies.

Doctors Successfully Perform India's First Robotic CRS with HIPEC for Peritoneal Surface Cancer

Doctors Successfully Perform India's First Robotic CRS with HIPEC for Peritoneal Surface Cancer

The patient underwent minimal invasive robotic surgery, is now cancer free. 

Chennai,  May 9th, 2024  In a major medical breakthrough, surgical oncologists at Apollo Cancer Centre (ACC) has successfully performed India's first Robotic Cytoreductive Surgery (CRS) with Hyperthermic Intraperitoneal Chemotherapy (HIPEC) for a peritoneal surface cancer. This minimally invasive, robotic-assisted approach marks a paradigm shift in treating Pseudomyxoma Peritonei (PMP), an aggressive appendix cancer, offering patients with a new standard of care, enabling faster recovery and improved quality of life.

Dr. Ajit Pai, Senior Consultant in Surgical Oncology and Robotic Surgery, Apollo Cancer Centre, Chennai along with his team, spearheaded this first-of-its-kind approach. The collaborative clinical expertise and unwavering dedication to transformative tech innovations at ACC, were instrumental in achieving this remarkable success.

A female patient, aged 51, was diagnosed with bilateral ovarian masses, and had  extensive surgical intervention, including the removal of the uterus, ovaries, appendix, and part of the omentum. Subsequent histopathological examination revealed a high-grade mucinous tumour of the appendix with pseudomyxoma peritonei (PMP), necessitating additional surgery. The patient was found to have residual mucinous implants (gelatinous deposits that remain in the abdomen post-surgery for appendicular mucinous tumors) in the pelvis and around the cecum (first part of the colon).

Due to the peculiar tendency of the appendix cancer to spread to the lining of the patient's abdomen (peritoneum), Dr Ajit Pai and team performed minimally invasive Robotic Cytoreductive Surgery (to reduce the amount of cancer cells in the abdominal cavity) with right hemicolectomy (removing the colon which bears the appendix) and complete mesocolic excision (surgery for treating cancer arising from the colon and appendix) and peritonectomy and total omentectomy, along with Hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (heated chemotherapy with a chemo drug) eliminating any possible microscopic residual tumours inside the abdomen. 

Traditionally, CRS/HIPEC has been performed as an open and an extensive operation, with a 10-12-inch incision associated with prolonged hospitalization. The Robotic CRS approach offers significant advantages as it is minimally invasive; the clinicians made use of tiny 8mm incisions for the robotic instruments, minimizing pain, blood loss, scarring and discomfort. Additionally, a single 5cm incision was used for tumour removal and the delivery of HIPEC. This novel approach translated to a faster recovery and a quicker return to normal life for the patient. At one year follow up, she remains in perfect health and cancer free.

Dr. Ajit Pai, Senior Consultant in Surgical Oncology and Robotic Surgery, Apollo Cancer Centre, said, Robotic CRS offers a transformative approach, requiring expertise in traditional and robotic techniques for precise tumor resections. With reduced post-operative morbidity, minimal access, and quicker recovery, this method is a viable choice for patients whose cancer cells have spread to and implanted on the peritoneal surfaces in a limited manner. We are thrilled with the successful clinical   outcome and the potential this approach holds for improving the lives of patients battling peritoneal surface cancers, including those from ovarian, colonic and gastric malignancies.

Cancer winner Subarna (name changed), said, Words cannot express my gratitude to the entire team of doctors who took care of me. This pioneering robotic approach offered hope, with faster recovery. Thanks to this innovation, I returned home sooner than expected, feeling completely normal after treatment, with a renewed sense of optimism. I am incredibly thankful to Apollo Cancer Centre for offering this life transforming procedure.

Dr. Preetha Reddy, Executive Vice Chairperson, Apollo Hospitals Enterprises Ltd, said, " At ACC, we understand that cutting-edge technology is just one piece of the puzzle. While we invest in the most advanced technologies available, it's our exceptional team of clinicians who truly unlock the potential of unparalleled clinical excellence. This powerful synergy between technology, innovation and clinical expertise sets Apollo apart, enabling millions across the world to Win Over Cancer. 

Mr. Dinesh Madhavan, President Group Oncology and International, Apollo Hospitals Enterprises Ltd, said, Robotics is revolutionizing cancer care, offering unparalleled precision and minimal invasiveness. At ACC, we leverage this technology to enhance treatment outcomes, reduce recovery times, and provide our patients with the most advanced therapies available today. This is India's first novel approach (robotic CRS and HIPEC) by our exceptional clinical team for treating peritoneal surface cancers is yet another testament to our unwavering commitment in providing patients with the best-in-class treatment.”  

 

The estimated incidence of pseudomyxoma peritonei is approximately 1 to 4 out of a million, annually. Patients have an average age of 53 years at the time of diagnosis. Recognizing the aggressive nature and occurrence of this type of appendix cancer, particularly more in women, Apollo Cancer Centre continues to push boundaries and innovate to provide the best possible care to those battling these complex cancers.
