MGM Healthcare launches Comprehensive Integrated Stroke Centre

MGM Healthcare launches Comprehensive Integrated Stroke Centre

Chennai, November 2019: The Institute of Neurosciences and Spinal Disorders at MGM Healthcare, a quaternary care hospital in the heart of the city, has launched a one-of-its-kind Comprehensive Integrated Stroke Centre (CISC). A stroke is a medical condition in which poor blood flow to the brain results in cell death. There are two main types of stroke: ischemic, due to lack of blood flow, and hemorrhagic, due to bleeding. Both result in parts of the brain not functioning properly.

The centre aims to provide comprehensive neuro care under one roof in an integrated fashion, bringing together the most experienced doctors and infrastructure and technology that is in line with international standards to treat any complex neuro conditions. When a person suffers a stroke, every passing minute without treatment drastically reduces the odds of a full recover.

Understanding that ‘Time is Brain’, MGM Healthcare’s Comprehensive Integrated Stroke Centre delivers quality and uniqueness by having their expert team of doctors available 24/7 who can provide well-rounded comprehensive medical services – from planning the logistics of transferring the patient to treating them promptly based on the diagnosis to starting rehabilitation, a process integral to recovery, at the earliest. The rapid diagnosis and immediate medical treatment provided by the centre can reduce further complications in stroke patients.

Speaking of the stroke centre, Dr. Prashanth Rajagopalan, Director, MGM Healthcare, said, “We are proud to launch this specialised centre that completely focuses on neuro conditions. Our top-of-the-line technologies, like our imaging technology, will aid in a faster and more precise diagnosis, thus also improving patient care, outcomes and experience. The expert team at the Institute of Neurosciences and Spinal Disorders provides comprehensive and integrated treatment by working together for the best outcomes based on protocols.”

During a stroke occurrence, immediate medical assistance is the key to controlling disability as well as mortal consequences; physicians and a committed medical setting can increase one’s survival rate. For this reason, the team at CISC consists of neurologists, neurosurgeons, neurocritical care physicians, neuroradiologists and physiotherapists who work in tandem with ER physicians to deal with any type of neuro emergencies at any time of the day.

Dr. K Sridhar, Director and Group Head, Institute od Neurosciences and Spinal Disorders, commented, “Stroke and hemorrhage are major events that can affect the life of a person. Time is of major concern – each second counts. The Institute of Neurosciences and Spinal Disorders at MGM Healthcare presents a unique combination of experience, expertise, technology, infrastructure and protocols that jointly work towards the common good of patients.”

Elon Musk's "Use Signal" Post Spurred Massive Rally For The Wrong One

A two-word app recommendation from Elon Musk has turned into a massive rally in the shares of a tiny medical device company in another case of mistaken identity. “Use Signal,” the Tesla Inc. chief executive officer wrote on Twitter on Jan. 7, apparently referring to the encrypted messaging service. By the end of the day, Signal Advance Inc. shares had surged more than sixfold. That was enough to push Signal Advance’s rally more than 5,100% in three trading days giving it a market valuation of $390 million. Despite reports about the confusion on Friday, the stock has continued to rally. Shares of the Rosharon, Texas-based company surged as much as 885% on Monday before paring the gains. “We strongly recommend people do their due diligence and always invest with care,” the company’s chief executive officer, Dr. Chris Hymel, said when reached by phone on Monday. Signal Advance doesn’t have an association with Musk or the Signal app, he said. Signal Advance hasn’t filed an annual report wi

RBI Policy: MPC may keep policy rate unchanged at 6%; owl may sound hawkish

N- Urjit Patel, Governor of the Reserve Bank of India (RBI), and his five colleagues on the Monetary Policy Committee will not find it too hard to keep the key policy interest rate unchanged at the upcoming policy review on February 7. The 2-day deliberations on February 6 and 7 by the MPC on the repo rate decision are expected to remain tilted towards a pause mode, keeping the near term outlook hawkish. However, they may raise rates later given the risks of higher inflation with fiscal slippages and higher food prices with the government planning to increase the Minimum Support Price (MSP). In the Budget last week, the government promised to ensure MSP of key crops at 1.5 times the cost of production. This could mean at least a 50-70-basis-points increase in the headline inflation number. While banks and bond markets have already signaled the end of the interest rate easing cycle, the MPC may keep the repo rate unchanged at 6 percent. Inflation risks Although, experts suggest the infl
