Asked why gas anaesthesia is not widely used in India
Besides, the veterinarians need to be trained in this discipline.Some animals
may carry harmful germs which can infect people and cause illness which are
known as zoonotic diseases or zoonoses.â€
The physiologist said gas anaesthesia
is rarely used in Indian zoos and veterinarians in the country lack adequate
training in this method. Pukazhenthi, reproductive physiologist at the
institute, said, "Sometimes if you can hold an animal safely, you can do the
diagnostics without using any drugs.He, however, said the veterinarian attending
to the animals is the best judge of his patient’s diagnosis. "Most of the zoos
cannot afford a gas anaesthesia machine. "As zoo keepers, we often face
challenging situations in terms of various zoonotic diseases.
Using gas
anaesthesia will also help us minimise risks to animals,†she said. The training
is being conducted by experts from the Smithsonian Conservation Biology
Institute, Washington, DC. "For instance, in case of bigger animals, using
(inhaled or) gas anaesthesia can be tricky as you should be able to get the
animals’ accurate weight and ready the equipment accordingly to monitor their
movements,†he said.â€
The National Zoological Park, the official name for the
Delhi zoo, recently procured its first gas anaesthesia machine.The training is
being conducted by experts from the Smithsonian Conservation Biology Institute,
Washington, DC. A hand injection might also oppress breathing or blood
circulation of animals,†he said. Gas anaesthesia is primarily used for sedating
cats and dogs, and the training, in which more than 30 vets are participating,
is a step forward towards employing it for wildlife in Indian zoos, Delhi zoo
director Renu Singh said.
The Delhi zoo director said the training will come
handy for the staff in giving best care to the inmates.clinicians. "But it is
crucial for the clinicians to be armed with modern medical paraphernalia,â€
Barthel said. Tony Barthel, Curator, Smithsonian Conservation Biology Institute,
underlined the importance of anaesthesia in animal diagnosis, and how using
injectable drugs for the same purpose could run many risks."Though this
technique is primarily used in cats and dogs field, we are trying to introduce
it to the wildlife in the Indian zoos,†he said. Gas anaesthesia is one such way
of sedating animals by eliminating the need of medical drugs and the numerous
side- effects that come with it."Gas anaesthesia is just another way of sedating
animals, but it is a safer option as injectable drugs may interfere with the
medication an animal is already on.
Asked why gas anaesthesia is not widely used
in India, a Delhi zoo official said the main reason was lack of infrastructure.

The days of cheap and cheerful cars
The days of cheap and cheerful cars like the Honda Civic and Toyota Corolla may
be numbered as technology firms Google and Apple muscle into the auto industry
and may change the way people own and dri Jeffrey Tambor as Maura Pfefferman in
a still from the Amazon series Transparent. The days of cheap and cheerful cars
like the Honda Civic and Toyota Corolla may be numbered as technology firms
Google and Apple muscle into the auto industry and may change the way people own
and drive cars.
That’s the warning from Ken Okuyama, high-end Japanese designer
of the Ferrari F60 Enzo and Porsche Boxster, who says game-changing self-drive
technology could threaten Japan’s position as a major car producer."If they
don’t watch out, they risk becoming just suppliers to those (tech) companies,â€
Mr Okuyama told Reuters in an interview at his industrial design studio in the
Japanese capital ahead of this Tokyo Motor Show.
Mr Okuyama, who made his mark at
Italy’s fabled Pininfarina studio and also redesigned the Chevrolet Camaro and
Corvette, says taking on Google and Apple will be the ultimate test for Toyota
and other mainstream automakers.As writing code becomes as vital to car making
as engineering, Japanese automakers are under pressure to show they can compete
with the tech giants.Google’s fleet of self-driving cars includes a modified
version of Toyota’s Lexus sport utility vehicles, in addition to the pod-like,
driverless Google Car prototype, both of which are being road-tested in the
United States. Apple could roll out a self-driving vehicle in 2019.Honda, which
on Tuesday said it was developing a new automatic setting to be used in
congested traffic, ec
motors Suppliers and technology to pre-programme cars to drive
automatically, acknowledged the potential threat from tech firms in the
future.
At this point, whether Google or Apple can come up with a car is
unclear,†said Koichi Fukuo, president of research and development at Honda.
"But they are spending aggressively to recruit people to achieve that and in
that sense.we can’t rule out the possibility they may eventually become a
competitor,†added Mr Fukuo.Market to split As cars become more automated,
Okuyama predicts the auto market over time may split into two camps: vehicles
that simply fulfil public transportation needs such as self-driving taxis
serviced by ride-hailing applications; and super-luxury cars that will be trophy
items for the wealthy.As a result, he says, car ownership will decline,
decreasing demand for affordable, traditional cars like Honda’s hugely popular
Civic models.
Automakers have used existing technology and road infrastructure
to create cars which have an emotional connection with drivers. This is how they
have been adding value to their products,†Okuyama said."But cars have become
commodity products, and, as such, they have to become more functional and even
more affordable,†he said, foreseeing a future where stripped down, minimalist
‘commodity’ cars would share the roads with luxury vehicles.While this market
polarisation could be years away, Mr Okuyama says Japanese automakers must focus
even more on finding ways for cars to benefit from advanced technologies — an
area where they have lagged for years."Self-driving cars will eventually become
commonplace... as a result, carmakers will have to sell not only the hardware,
but also the overall system to run the cars,†he said.

This will provide reassurance to millions of people
Auto industry has been opposing proposal by Niti Aayog to push for full
conversion to EVs for ICE three-wheelers by 2023. Modi had asserted that India
has a large enough market and big enough policy space to ensure growth of both
internal combustion engine vehicles and EVs New Delhi: Auto industry players on
Wednesday welcomed Prime Minister Narendra Modi&disposer
Manufacturers39;s assurance that conventional engine vehicles and electric
vehicles (EVs) can co-exist in India, saying it would encourage investment and
job creation in future.
Society of Indian Automobile Manufacturers President
Rajan Wadhera said the assurance is completely in-line with SIAM's
recommendations that all relevant technologies should co-exist in India's
journey towards sustainable mobility.He also called for a long-term roadmap for
all futuristic technologies, which instils confidence to the industry to get
going.Expressing similar views, TVS Motor Company Chairman Venu Srinivasan said,
"the recent clarification by the Prime Minister that ICE and electric vehicles
will both be encouraged and grow is a strong step to encourage investment and
employment in the automotive sector in India".
This will provide reassurance to
millions of people across the supply chain, ranging from component manufacturers
to original equipment manufacturers (OEMs), dealers, mechanics and associated
people across the country, he added.Srinivasan further said a technology
agnostic approach that encourages all options is very important for a developing
country like India, which is dependent on fossil-based sources for much of its
power."Also with some of the other measures announced towards increasing
liquidity, this clarification will provide the stability to ensure India
continues to remain one of the leading investment destinations in the world," he
said.Toyota Kirloskar Motor Joint Managing Director N Raja said the PM's
statement has given a lot more confidence and clarity and will help the auto
industry in efforts to come out of the ongoing sales slump."Now with this
clarity, people who were thinking of delaying purchases, what we called as fence
sitters, can come forward. It will help in improving the market," he said.In an
interview with a business daily, Modi had asserted that India has a large enough
market and big enough policy space to ensure growth of both internal combustion
engine vehicles and EVs, and there was no need to speculate about the growth of
either of the two.The auto industry has been opposing proposal by Niti Aayog to
push for full conversion to EVs # for ICE three-wheelers by 2023 and
two-wheelers of 150cc and below by 2025, saying a transition was completely
uncalled for and could jeopardise the industry.

Osteoarthritis is caused by the progressive breakdown
Osteoarthritis is caused by the progressive breakdown and eventual loss of
cartilage, and characterized by pain, swelling and decreased mobility of the
affected joint.Patients on the 1mg dose saw a significant reduction in daily
pain.Drug created can keep problem at bay for six months New drug extracted from
chili can keep[ knee pain at bay for six months
A new data
shows that a synthetic version of a medicine usually extracted from the spicy
chili can relieve knee pain among osteoarthiritis patients for up to six months.
It is a man-made version of chili plant extract trans-capsaicin and is designed
to work by inactivating local pain fibers transmitting signals to the brain.Data
showed that the drug induced statistically significant pain relief as well as
reduced knee stiffness and improved physical function at 24 weeks after a single
injection.The drug is being developed by the privately-held company run by
former Pfizer Inc chief executive Jeffrey Kindler. The mid-stage trial tested
two doses of the drug on patients who were unable to tolerate pain therapy. This
brings Centrexion Therapeutics a step closer to developing a safe China brake motors
