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
Doctors save man impaled by bamboo piece passing too close to his heart

Mumbai: 8 June 2019

Panchanana Pradhan, a daily wager, on June 2 late evening was painting the outer walls of a house in his village Lastala (in Odisha state of India), mounting on a bamboo ladder. While standing at a height of 7 feet, the ladder rungs (also made of bamboo pieces and nailed together) suddenly gave away and Panchanana came tumbling down with such force that one of the bamboo rungs pierced through his body.
The badly injured and bleeding man was rushed to Veer Surendra Sai Institute of Medical Sciences & Research (VIMSaR) Hospital at Burla town about 37 kms away. After giving primary aid, the doctors there referred him to a better equipped Srirama Chandra Bhanj (SCB) Medical College & Hospital at Cuttack (a further 274 kms away).


“Luckily for the patient, the bamboo piece passed behind the stomach, pancreas and in front of aorta and the inferior vena cava (or IVC) which is a large vein that carries the deoxygenated blood from the lower and middle body into the right atrium of the heart,” stressed Dr Panda.
“The stomach was lacerated probably by an iron nail projection from the bamboo stick. The bamboo stick was extracted gently with precision. The visceral injuries were repaired, intercostal chest tube drainage was given. Abdomen was closed after peritoneal toileting and tube drainage. The primary entry wound was left open. Two units of blood was transfused during the surgery which took about 4 hours. The patient was shifted to ICU for post-surgery treatment and observation, where he is doing well till today. He will be discharged soon,” informed Dr Panda.
Dr Panda was assisted by Dr Ranjit Behera, Dr Sashikanta Behera and Dr Alekha Nayak
(anesthetist).
