Raredisorder in the food pipe can mimic heart attacks, right diagnosis is the key to treatment

New Delhi: Esophageal Manometery is a test to diagnose one of the rarest motility disorders in the esophagus when its functioning is impaired. The rare condition known as Achalasia, involves complaints of difficulty in swallowing, sensation of food or water getting stuck in the chest, chest pain (which can be sometimes mistaken for heart attack), regurgitation of food and weight loss.

Diagnosis of achalasia begins with a careful medical history focusing on the timing of symptoms and eliminating other medical conditions that may cause similar symptoms. Endoscopy, which is used to look directly into the esophagus can be normal in achalasia. However, endoscopy can detect tumors of the esophagus which can mimic achalasia.

“A ring of muscle called the lower esophageal sphincter encircles the lower esophagus just above the stomach. This sphincter muscle when contracts, closes the esophagus. When the sphincter is closed, the contents of the stomach cannot flow back into the esophagus. Backward flow of stomach contents (reflux) can irritate and inflame the esophagus, causing symptoms such as heartburn. The act of swallowing causes a wave of esophageal contraction called peristalsis, which pushes the food along the esophagus down into the stomach. Normally, during peristalsis, esophageal sphincter relaxes to allow the food into the stomach. In achalasia, which means failure to relax, is a rare esophageal motility disorder in which the normal esophageal peristalsis and the lower esophageal sphincter relaxation are impaired.” Said Dr. Vikas Singla, Director & Head, Gastroenterology, Hepatology & Endoscopy, Max Super Specialty Hospital, Saket, New Delhi.

Such ailments need to be diagnosed correctly, for which a test known as Esophageal manometry is used. The procedure involves passing a thin tube through the esophagus to assess the contraction and relaxation timing during swallowing. Max Superspeciality hospital is one of the very few centres in India to perform manometry along with an incisionless endoscopic procedure to treat Achalasia.

“The non-invasive endoscopic procedure known as Per oral endoscopic myotomy (POEM) is one of the latest treatment modules for patients with the complaints of Achalasia. Being a scarless procedure it is highly safe and provides excellent long-term results with a minimal hospital stay. The procedure is followed by an X-ray after 24 hours and the patient can be put on liquid diet initially.” He added

The new incubation centre will conduct an eight-week ‘GOA INVEST-a-THON’ across Goa to attract investment for Goa-based start-ups, by facilitating access to Founders of start-up ventures to leading Investors.

The four programmes which were unveiled by Chief Minister Pramod Sawant included ‘iMagic’, which will help identify entrepreneurial talent in Goa and harness this talent by offering access to knowledge and mentors in order to cultivate and promote the culture of innovation.

‘(S4S)3’ is a programme aimed at making startups sustainable, scalable and to provide support to social impact startups. 21 such startups are expected to be incubated at the AIC-GIM, which will receive the required value-added services by AICGIM Incuabtor.

The ‘We-nurture’ programme is aimed at nurturing women micro-entrepreneurs with the help of corporate partners and ‘RIVER’, a one-year programme for entrepreneurs in-residence to work on an idea, create startups and make them scalable ventures.

Speaking on the occasion, Chief Minister Pramod Sawant said that Goa was well on its way to becoming a preferred destination for startups and the AIC-GIM could play a key role in encouraging and facilitating entrepreneurship as an alternate career option for young men and women.

Said Chief Minister Pramod Sawant, “It is wonderful to know that several startups have benefitted from this AICGIM centre and will continue to do so. GIM’s efforts in higher education and contribution to the startup ecosystem in the state has made Sanquelim and the whole of Goa proud. I appeal to GIM to continue to share its knowledge and expertise to aid us in our vision to make an Atmanirbhar Bharat and Swayampurna Goa a reality.”

The ‘GOA INVEST-a-THON’ has been envisioned to cater to a dual purpose of enabling investments in startups in Goa and promoting ‘Startup Investment’ as an attractive asset class. Goan startups looking to raise up to Rs. 1 crore in investment are eligible to participate in this INVESTATHON.

The slew of novel, exciting activities at the AIC-GIM are being anchored by the newly appointed Chief Executive Officer of the incubation facility, Rajesh Joshi, who has a vast experience of two decades in the startup industry, as a serial entrepreneur and an angel investor himself.

According to Mr. Joshi, Goa can emerge as ‘the best of the rest’ startup destination in the country.
”Apart from encouraging entrepreneurship in Goa, it’s crucial to attract leading startup investors to Goa. It’s also important that we develop a local investor network. We want to evangelise GAIN (Goa Angel Investor Network). GAIN will lead to build a viable startup ecosystem in Goa. With GAIN, not only do Goa startups stand to benefit, but investors will receive significant GAINs from their startup investment,” he said.

Said Prof. Ajit Parulekar, Director, GIM, “Since its inception, AICGIM has served as an active knowledge and resource catalyst for the development of promising entrepreneurs and had aided in accelerating the growth of early stage organizations from ideation to marketplace success. Goa has a progressive startup policy. The state offers all the elements required to create an ideal startup ecosystem.”

He added, “With Rajesh Joshi at the helm of affairs at the incubation centre, we are poised to offer the much-needed impetus to the start-up community in Goa.”

M3M Foundation organizes a free health checkup camp for construction workers and their families at Gurugram

Gurugram: M3M Foundation, a philanthropic arm of M3M Group, organized a free health checkup camp for construction workers and their families at iMpower Club Broadway, Sector 71, Gurugram. Organized in collaboration with Fazilpur Jharsa Primary Health Centre (PHC), the initiative is a part of iMpower- a flagship program of M3M Foundation, in partnership with Aide et Action. Its objective was to ensure the overall wellbeing of people from the marginalized section of the society. A team of 12 doctors with a support staff of 4 people alongwith 1 ASHA worker, carried out a physical examination and blood pressure monitoring keeping in mind the necessary precautions and social distancing measures amid COVID-19. Those with pre-existing medical conditions were advised medications and consultations by doctors. The camp witnessed the participation of 84 people. A free health counselling session was also held with the attendees to make them understand the results and sensitize them on the significance of regular health checkups.

“The free health check-up camp will go a long way in instilling health consciousness and ensuring preventive measures against several diseases. The initiative underscores our commitment to ensure the well-being of the marginalized. As a responsible organization, M3M Foundation is committed to giving back to the society,” said Dr Payal Kanodia, Trustee, M3M Foundation.

“We are thankful to M3M Foundation for organizing this health check-up camp. We are indebted to them for providing us end-to-end support in improving our quality of life,” said Rajkumari, beneficiary of the health camp.

The objective of iMpower is to build community-led worksite upliftment programmes in identified worksites, in the Gurugram district of Haryana. This is being done by ensuring their entitlements to basic requirements such as education, health, financial and social security, legal aid and their access to State and Central welfare schemes. The children of construction workers are being provided safe and clean places to play, where they can learn and interact with each other and will be protected and nurtured in a healthy environment. In addition to proper nutrition, the children also have access to immunization and regular health check-ups.

 This collaboration envisions making a real difference in the lives of the children as well as the women present at the construction sites. The project engages with the age groups from 0 to 35 in and around the worksites of M3M through a multi-functional resource centre. This resource centre is not only a space for supporting children in education but also links the community with government entitlements/schemes. The Resource Centre is also a hub for promoting digital literacy, health, hygiene & nutrition, and space for imparting skill training to the youth.

To promote quality education and encourage innovations in quality education, around 500 children including 100 students from 10th and 12th grades are being supported with remedial coaching for their better academic achievements. Around 1000 children and community members are being made digitally literate in the project area through this intervention. Special emphasis has been given to the behaviour change aspects of the community through various health-related interventions.

M3M Foundation, the philanthropic arm of M3M Group, is working towards bringing an equitable development for attaining a brighter India.
