Sudden Cardiac Arrest – Time to Act is Now

Nov 18, 2022 by Neel Achary 0 Comments

By Dr. Pradeep Kumar D, Sr. Consultant – Interventional Cardiology, Aster CMI Hospital, Bangalore

Sudden Cardiac Death (SCD) is defined as death due to a cardiovascular cause that occurs one hour within the onset of symptoms. The condition can affect any individual with or without any pre-existing heart disease and is not uncommon among youngsters.

While SCD is rare, one has recently witnessed well-known public figures and athletes who have succumbed to it. This has raised several questions and anxiety in people’s minds regarding the causes, symptoms and ways to prevent it.

What is the cause of increased heart attacks among youngsters?

Even though many people who have suffered cardiac death have passed away in their sleep, the condition can also occur while doing a physical activity such as playing competitive sports or exertion. Coronary artery disease is the most common cause of sudden cardiac death, accounting for up to 80% of all cases. Cardiomyopathies and genetic channelopathies account for the remaining causes in younger people. The most common causes of non-ischemic sudden cardiac death are cardiomyopathy related to obesity, alcoholism, and fibrosis.

Among youngsters, it mostly happens because of undiagnosed heart conditions like thickened heart muscles (hypertrophic cardiomyopathy), a genetic condition that causes the heart muscles to grow too thick which makes it hard for the heart to pump blood and can cause rhythm disturbances. The other causes are electrical conduction abnormalities in the heart.

What are the warning signs?

While SCDs occur without any warning in many cases, however, your body often presents certain signs

that may indicate increased risk. These include –

Fainting or unexplained fainting that may occur during exercise or physical activities

Shortening of breath or chest pain and palpitations related to exertion

A family history of SDC makes a person more prone to have the same heart events

How does one treat sudden cardiac arrest?

When a cardiac arrest occurs the heart stops beating depriving the brain and other organs of oxygen-rich blood. Time is critical in such cases.

Call emergency medical services immediately

Perform CPR – Check for breathing. If the person isn’t breathing normally commence CPR

How can you reduce your risk of SCD

There are several ways through which you can reduce your SCD risk –

Undergo regular checkups and screening for heart disease

Adopt a heart-healthy lifestyle and exercise regularly for 45 minutes every day

Reduce obesity

If you are suffering from diabetes then you must keep it under control through a combination of lifestyle modifications, exercise, and medicine. deal control is to keep HbA1c which detects average blood sugar level in the last three months between 6 and 7 percent.

Regularly check and control your blood pressure. The ideal BP control is to keep it below 130/80

Talking to a healthcare provider can help you get timely treatment. Since there are no defined causes of SCD therefore regular screening becomes extremely important and a routine ECG may save those who are at high risk.

Impacting Businesses Positively: Smart Video

Nov 18, 2022 by Rabindra 0 Comments

The world’s reliance on the smart video is increasing. As per a recent industry report1, the video surveillance market is projected to grow from USD 48.7 billion in 2022 to USD 76.4 billion by 2027. From crime prevention to traffic management, smart video has become a key component in our daily lives.

A well-executed smart video or CCTV system in business premises may provide many benefits in addition to security coverage. Here are some of the reasons to update or install CCTV systems.

Elementary, My Dea

rCCTV or smart video can be an extremely effective security solution that works both as a deterrent and as evidence in solving a crime. Equipped with artificial intelligence (AI), today, smart video cameras can even identify and detect irregular behavior, which might be ignored by the human eye. This can help in avoiding the occurrence of a dangerous activity. Moreover, it is almost impossible for the human eye to cover large areas, which can be very effectively done through cameras, and as a result, it can potentially offer better security.

Better Employee Safety

The last couple of years have given rise to new use cases, such as thermal monitoring, crowd counting, personal protective equipment (PPE) detection, and air quality monitoring. Cameras that can detect social distancing and heat-detection are being installed. Moreover, as employees look at hybrid work models, it is important that organizations provide a safe work environment. As a result, organizations are investing in environmental sensors to measure air quality, including carbon dioxide (CO2) levels, in the workplace.

Trend Spotting

Shop or retail layouts can be made more effective and attractive for customers, by analyzing the video footage of the retail or shop floor. The in-store activities can help identify trends. For example, by developing heat maps, a retailer can find out the number of people visiting, or the amount of time spent in a certain aisle or at a product display rack. This can help the store management take more informed decisions on a store or retail layout, which can potentially help them become more profitable.

But it all Depends on Data

Irrespective of a setup style, CCTV and smart video cameras generate a huge amount of data. This is because the video quality is getting better and cameras more feature rich. The effectiveness of CCTV is entirely dependent on the data it collects. Therefore, if the video recording is limited due to the lack of sufficient storage, then deploying a CCTV or smart video system is pointless.

Different Storage for Different Needs

ding on the varied requirements. On-camera storage must be high-performance to analyze data in real-time and it should be able to withstand extreme weather conditions. The use of microSD™ cards for onboard camera storage is increasing, both as primary storage and for backing up cloud-based systems. The microSD cards are often placed in hard-to-reach areas, making them less accessible for service. Therefore, these should offer longevity and reliability. Today, up to 1TB microSD cards are available, such as the WD Purple® microSD card, engineered specifically for surveillance.

Additionally, as many of these smart video systems operate 24/7, all year round, storage technology should be able to keep up with that. CCTVs need a surveillance drive, which is designed to focus mainly on writing data. General desktop HDDs are typically not tested for the high write workloads, such as supporting multiple video streams, of surveillance HDDs. For example, the Western Digital WD Purple portfolio is built from the ground up for video surveillance.

This Christmas, The Glass Villa, Goa invites guests to enjoy luxuries of aesthetic living and the charms of inland Goa

Nov 18, 2022 by Mansi Praharaj 0 Comments
November 2022: Since Santa, his reindeer, the stars, the lights, and the locals all congregate in Goa during the holidays, it is often regarded as one of the most stunning places to celebrate Christmas and New Year. For the discerning traveler who wants to see more of what the Christmas celebration has to offer than just the beaches, casinos, and parties, Glass Villa in the picturesque village of Aldona is the ideal Goan villa – you can return to your sanctuary of peace and delectable home chef meals after you venture out to get the festive vibes of Goa. 
 
The Glass Villa, a unique glass-and-laterite villa provides a beautiful hideaway in Aldona, Goa, complete with all modern conveniences, all while being nestled deep in lush greenery, backwaters, paddy fields, and water streams. Everything about this property, from the thoughtfully curated furnishings to the idyllic setting, comes together to create one of India’s most magnificent retreats for high-end tourists in Goa over the holiday season and into the New Year. 
 
The Glass Villa, an extravagant property with a strikingly contemporary exterior and extravagant light fixtures, is notable for its wood and glass facade, laterite walls, and sloping exposed concrete ceiling. The glass-fronted villa was envisioned by renowned fashion designer Tarun Tahiliani and created by celebrated architect Sameep Padora and Asahi Glass to showcase their prowess in architectural glass. Both the poolside cabanas and the sunken seats adjacent to the courtyard offer breathtaking panoramas of the surrounding countryside with magnificent views of Aldona’s rolling fields and placid backwaters. At midday, the pool in the rear reflects the property’s pristine exterior. From the moment the sun rises until late in the day, there is a plethora of birds to observe, including peacocks in the fields, hornbills around the trees, swooping electric blue kingfishers in the pool,  tiny sunbirds hovering around, and even the occasional cormorant sunning itself with its wings spread.
 
The Glass Villa is a four-bedroom, two-story villa that may now be rented out in its entirety throughout the Christmas and New Year’s holidays. It is located an hour from the airport and forty minutes from Panaji. The villa’s master bedrooms and adjacent living space provide space for up to ten adults to stay comfortably. Great 4G connectivity (not so common in Goa!) and wifi allows you to work well if you must.  Guests who reserve the villa in the village between December and January will receive a fantastic deal: stay for five nights at the cost of only four, that’s a serious saving for a premium villa. 
Glass Villa is owned by noted entrepreneur Aditya Gupta, Founder of leading floor-fashion brand, The Rug Republic (TRR). Explaining why it is a good time to visit The Glass Villa, he says, “The Glass Villa’s ambiance and design are not the only things that draw visitors in. You get to make the most of a rejuvenating Goan holiday. We take delight in advising tourists on where to go for a taste of adventure and culture. The active kinds can enjoy a wide variety of pursuits such as cycling tours, walking tours, kayaking in the backwaters of Moira,and nature centered excursions. The Glass Villa welcomes families and friends to experience Goa as they never knew existed! ” 
Aditya, an intrepid adventurer, world traveller, design enthusiast, Everest, and TEDx speaker, believes that people are in search of authentic experiences rather than the typical “going out” style of holidaying, something Glass Villa is designed and decorated to offer.  
 
The famous Glass Villa in Goa is all set to host you and your loved ones for memorable sojourns. This villa is your home away from home and an ideal getaway for the evolved traveler. And, if you want to play Santa for your near and dear ones, there can’t be a better gift than arranging a stay at The Glass Villa.

Nov 18, 2022 by Rekha Nair 0 Comments

November 2022, Tuticorin, India: SHV Energy has expanded its cryogenic LPG storage terminal facility in Tuticorin, India. The expansion ensures LPG supply to the Indian market, primarily through SHV Energy’s Indian subsidiary SUPERGAS. SHV Energy’s Singapore-based trading unit S&RM (Supply & Research Management) will also supply third parties via the Tuticorin terminal.

The facility, which is situated at the port, will expand from 8,500 metric tonnes to 38,500 metric tonnes, representing an investment of about INR 500 Cr. The terminal expansion was inaugurated today in the presence of Mr Bram Gräber, CEO of SHV Energy and Mr Santanu Guha, CEO of SUPERGAS. Mr Bram Gräber, who is a member of the World LPG Association (WLPGA) Board of Directors, was also present at the World LPG Week 2022, being held this week in New Delhi.

Speaking to media on the expansion, Mr Bram said: “Our strategy for expanding this terminal is to ensure that our customers in Tamil Nadu have easy and affordable access to LPG. This expansion will allow us to offer government-run oil companies both the LPG and the storage facilities they need, thereby optimising logistics and strengthening the overall LPG landscape in India.”

Further adding: “LPG will help to accelerate India’s long-term energy needs and will support the country’s transition away from more polluting fuels, such as coal and oil.”

“LPG is not only a cleaner fuel than many existing alternatives, it’s also much more accessible in India and can more easily reach areas that natural gas cannot reach,” said Mr Santanu Guha, CEO of SUPERGAS. “LPG also has many important applications, from being used as a cooking gas, to transport and increasingly used in Industry. We look forward to further deregulation of the market to ensure increased investment in LPG infrastructure in support of India’s long-term energy needs,” said Mr Santanu.
