Glacial burst wrecks havoc on its downhill path Sumesh Rajan Mumbai: 7 February 2021 A glacial burst in Chamoli district of Uttarakhand state in India on February 7 has caused massive havoc on its downhill path along the Dhauliganga and Rishiganga rivers. The disaster occured after a portion of the Nanda Devi glacier broke off in Tapovan area of Joshimath in Uttarakhand. The Tapovan power plant being constructed over the Dhauligana river and the Rishiganga power project across the Rishiganga river -- a tributary of Dhauliganga -- have been damaged completely with sludge overwhelming the projects, say local officials. Over 150 people are said to have lost their lives in this disaster and scores are missing. Ten bodies have been recovered so far from the National Thermal Power Corporation (NTPC) power project site at Tapovan, said the Indo-Tibetan Border Police (ITBP) officials. The missing persons are believed to be labourers working at the dam sites and villagers along the river. T

The child was diagnosed one among 200 rare medically recorded cases globally.
Deepika Yadav from Raichur district in the south Indian state of Karnataka was having right sided brachial plexus injury and Factor VII deficiency. Brachial plexus injury is about nerves of the upper limb are stretched inadvertently during difficult delivery leading to poorly functioning arm.
Factor VII deficiency is a blood clotting disorder that causes excessive or prolonged bleeding after an injury or surgery. With Factor VII deficiency, the body either doesn’t produce enough Factor VII, or something is interfering with factor VII, often another medical condition. Factor VII is a protein produced in the liver that plays an important role in helping blood to clot. It’s one of about 20 clotting factors involved in the complex process of blood clotting.
The brachial plexus is the network of nerves that sends signals from your spine to your shoulder, arm and hand. A brachial plexus injury occurs when these nerves are stretched, compressed, or in the most serious cases, ripped apart or torn away from the spinal cord. Babies sometimes sustain brachial plexus injuries during birth.

The hematologists advised Factor VII administration whose cost is very expensive. A 1 mg vial of rNOVO7 costs Rs 48,000 and as per estimate by hematologists she would require at least 18 to 19 vials which cost around Rs 9 lakhs. Due to financial constraints of the labourer father who had 6 dependents, the surgery was deferred.
“After consultation, the hematologists of our hospital played a vital role of making a protocol for the surgery. This surgery was performed under cover of Factor VII infusion (rNOVO7) uneventfully. The rNOVO7 was given every 4th hourly for the 48 hours and then reduced to 8th hourly after that. It has now been stopped and there is no bleeding. Without this treatment she would have bled uncontrollably, and surgery would have been impossible for this child. This child needed corrective surgery to reconstruct the shoulder, or which would result in inability to use the arm,” said Dr. Bodhanwala.
Deepika’s father Tirumala said, “We had approached many hospitals in Karnataka but was unsuccessful in our endeavor. B J Wadia hospital stepped up to this challenge and treated my daughter free of cost and we are very grateful to them.”
“This case was one of its kinds and the rarest one. Fewer than 200 cases of such cases are reported globally till date,” said Dr. Minnie Bodhanwala.
She further added that the child is doing well now, with a plaster cast being put on her right hand to maintain the position of her shoulder.
“After six weeks, we will give her physiotherapy to teach her how to use her upper limb,” she added.

Art is important in times of savage destruction because it stands for what is uniquely and indestructibly human; it affirms the values of civilization against the brute force of animal aggression; it is an antithesis of barbarism that evinces the highest standards of beauty and order that humanity is capable of. It is a statement of resistance against chaos.
