Her life is no longer in danger, the release said.Investigations into the incident are ongoing.

Hospital patient arrested for twice switching off neighbor's oxygen machine because the noise annoyed her

Only human trials will help understand the efficacy of the new Rs 100 pill developed to prevent recurrence of cancer, said doctors on Wednesday. According to a report by NDTV, researchers at the Tata Memorial Centre (<keyword id="19942089" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="tmc" source="keywords">TMC</keyword>) in Mumbai claimed to have discovered a treatment to prevent relapse of cancer that would cost only Rs 100. The study on mice showed that the pill, named 'R+Cu', containing a pro-oxidant combination of resveratrol and copper, generated oxygen radicals in the stomach to curb cancer recurrence. The experimental mice study "is not a substitute for established treatments, which continue to result in cures in a substantial proportion of cancer patients," Dr <keyword id="20763261" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="shyam-aggarwal" source="keywords">Shyam Aggarwal</keyword>, Chairman, Department of Medical Oncology, at Sir <keyword id="20162656" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="ganga-ram-hospital" source="keywords">Ganga Ram Hospital</keyword> told IANS. In a post on X, Dr. <keyword id="20763262" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="rajeev-jayadevan" source="keywords">Rajeev Jayadevan</keyword>, Co-Chairman National IMA Covid Task Force called it "an exaggerated claim". While calling the research "interesting, praiseworthy", he said it cannot be seen as "cancer cure." Dr Shyam Aggarwal explained that the research shows the effect of cell-free chromatin (fragments of chromosomes released from cancer cells after chemotherapy) on normal tissues causing a cascade of inflammation leading to side effects such as mucositis, low blood counts, etc. "Use of a combination of copper and resveratrol (a commercially-available nutraceutical) has been shown to degrade circulating cell-free chromatin, leading to reduction of toxicity in some human studies. Other human studies are underway," he said. The study claims that the pill can halve the side effects caused by chemotherapy, while also reducing the odds of getting cancer by 30 per cent. The researchers "used a pro-oxidant combination of copper and resveratrol (found in peanuts, cocoa, grapes) known to damage DNA by generating oxygen radicals," Dr. Rajeev Jayadevan wrote in his post on X. "Whether this will translate into real world outcomes for people with cancer (beyond mice), what toxicities could occur from its pro-oxidant, DNA-damaging effect, is yet to be determined," he said. However, Dr. <keyword id="20763263" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="rahul-bhargava" source="keywords">Rahul Bhargava</keyword>, Principal Director &amp; Chief BMT, Fortis Memorial Research Institute, Gurugram, called it "a great breakthrough in the field of medical research. Indian researchers are creating history. If the drug works, it will be a great benefit for cancer patients." "The tablet is promising and shows potential to be effective, but human trials are yet to be completed, which could take about five years," he told IANS. The tablet is awaiting approval from the Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) and is expected to be available in the market by June-July. --IANS rvt/rad

Most steel-making plants in India require industrial oxygen to produce steel in a process called basic oxygen steel-making - where pure oxygen is blown into a molten pot of blast-furnace iron and scrap. The emergency hearing resulted in a legal directive for oxygen to be provided by "whatever means" to the Indian capital's hospitals, which are currently facing a serious oxygen scarcity. The judges were considering an emergency lawsuit filed by the Balaji Medical and Research Centre, which asked for all supplies of oxygen to be diverted to medical centers to ensure that lives can be saved. The High Court issued a strongly worded response, observing that it "seems human life is not important for the state." "You are not exploring all avenues to augment oxygen supply - beg, borrow or steal," said the court in its decision, warning of India's government officials of the "gravity" of the emergency that Delhi faces if oxygen supplies to hospitals run dry.<a href="https://economictimes.indiatimes.com/news/india/provide-oxygen-forthwith-to-hospitals-by-whatever-means-delhi-hc-to-centre/articleshow/82183829.cms?utm_source=contentofinterest&amp;utm_medium=text&amp;utm_campaign=cppstgn=cppst">The India Times</a> reported that the judges encouraged steel and petrochemical plants to halt operations and follow the example of multinational steel-making company Tata Steel in supplying much-needed oxygen supplies to hospitals.

"Medical oxygen is critical to the treatment of COVID-19 patients. Responding to the national urgency, we're supplying 200 to 300 tons of liquid medical oxygen daily to various state governments &amp; hospitals. We are in this fight together and will surely win it," Tata said in a <a href="https://twitter.com/TataSteelLtd/status/1383689665312530438?s=20">tweet</a>.The country's largest steel-making company SAIL also <a href="http://www.businessworld.in/article/Tata-Steel-SAIL-AMNS-India-Supplying-Oxygen-For-Treatment-Of-COVID-19-Patients/19-04-2021-386937/">said it was supplying 33,300 tons of oxygen</a> for the treatment of COVID patients - but not all companies in the industry have fallen in line. In March, a coalition of the country's steelmakers <a href="https://www.argusmedia.com/en/news/2090253-indian-steelmakers-appeal-to-operate-during-lockdown">applied to the government to allow them to continue to run operations</a> despite India's nationwide lockdown, asking to be classified as essential services. In the meantime, India continues to struggle with its critically low oxygen supplies. <a href="https://www.insider.com/india-coronavirus-nashik-hopsital-oxygen-tank-leaks-coronavirus-patients-dead-2021-4">Over 20 COVID patients in the western Indian city of Nashik died on Wednesday</a> when oxygen in their ventilators ran out amid the nationwide shortage of the gas. The state's health minister, Rajesh Tope, said the oxygen supply at the hospital in question had run out because the tanker refilling it suffered a leak. Out of desperation, some families of COVID patients have also <a href="https://www.insider.com/india-covid-second-wave-oxygen-shortage-2021-4">started stealing oxygen cylinders from hospitals</a>. It was reported that oxygen cylinders had been taken from a storeroom at the Damoh district hospital in Madhya Pradesh.India <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/india-coronavirus-cases-highest-single-day-rise-global-record-2021-4">reported 314,835 new coronavirus cases on Thursday</a> - the highest daily total of any country during the pandemic.
