In times of weakness and emotional stress, some of us take the help of mental health professionals. We make use of &nbsp;their expertise in the field in order to deal with the emotional turmoil we are going through.&nbsp;

But have you ever wondered what goes on inside the mind of a therapist?&nbsp;

They help us understand our emotions, but what about their well-being, and how do they deal with the emotional rollercoaster ride that comes with their job?&nbsp;

One might say they are trained enough to filter their emotions or create a shield to protect themselves to move on.&nbsp;

But we tend to forget that, in the end, they are also humans.&nbsp;

And all humans grapple with anxiety, stress, and uneasiness at times.&nbsp;

So, to understand how professional therapists deal with the stress that comes with their jobs, I spoke to Alisha Sethi, a psychotherapist based in Delhi.&nbsp;

Sethi focuses on processing the past traumas any person might be going through. And how unresolved past experiences of a person might be affecting their present-day circumstances.&nbsp;

<h2>Understanding stress and seeking support&nbsp;</h2>

While going through emotional turmoil, it is essential to understand the markers, signals, or some instances that might be triggering stress. As a professional, they do the same. Before or after a session, if they feel heavy due to a particular instance, the psychologist tends to go back mentally and understand the factor that made them feel in a certain way.&nbsp;

"Sometimes, the stress is tolerable. And sometimes it is not. Then, during such situations, I take the help of other therapist friends, and with their help, without disclosing the client's details, we discuss taking a different approach next time", Sethi says.&nbsp;

<h2><a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/how-important-is-a-good-nights-sleep-for-better-health-and-productivity-680984">How important is a good night’s sleep for better health and productivity?</a></h2>

"In some cases, if I enter an unknown arena, emotionally, then it is always better to take the guidance of our supervisors. It is also possible that while pondering upon the possible stressful signals, you might discover that some instances stuck a nerve, which could be something personal that triggered your emotions. So you seek the help you require and then learn to deal with them as well", she elaborates.&nbsp;

<h2>Putting yourself in others' shoes and not letting it affect you</h2>

When dabbling with different emotions of various persons, it can be overwhelming for professionals, and there may be instances that sometimes they resonate with what their client is going through.&nbsp;

While listening to traumatic experiences, there is a chance they get reminded of similar situations.&nbsp;

Sethi says that during such times, it is essential to remind oneself that this is the client's space, not yours.&nbsp;

"And at the same time, remember that the cornerstone of psychology is to understand what the person is going through. And understand them through their perspective. It is about being empathetic. Often, it means tapping into a similar instance that you have faced. Therapists are in therapy because they have processed most of their feelings beforehand", she adds.

<h2>Being seen and being heard&nbsp;</h2>

In the Indian context, mental health has always been a taboo.&nbsp;

Previously, people hesitated to talk about their emotions openly, which was a trivial topic.&nbsp;

But things took a different turn after the Covid-19 pandemic.&nbsp;

People became more and more aware of their emotional well-being and started talking about mental health.&nbsp;

The pandemic brought a significant shift in how people were perceiving their mental health issues. It spotlighted the link between emotional well-being and being physically fit.&nbsp;

Sethi points out that she witnessed an observable shift in mental health awareness. And even how she talks about the topic.&nbsp;

"I'm part of a larger group and have noticed how I talk about it. Comfort for me, when it comes to talking about mental health in community places, has also enhanced", Sethi points out.&nbsp;

<h2>Dealing with mental health issues can be troublesome</h2>

And there is no shame in asking for help.

The help will only make you feel better.&nbsp;

As we progress as a society, it's important to note that anyone can be suffering mentally; all we need to do is provide a safe space and a shoulder to lean on.&nbsp;

Sethi has one message to the world: It is important to make people be seen or heard.&nbsp;

Luxury fashion aficionados have witnessed their fair share of opulent creations, but the latest offering from Louis Vuitton has left many raising their eyebrows. The French fashion powerhouse, known for pushing the boundaries of design, has introduced a Sandwich Bag made of cowhide leather, carrying a staggering price tag of Rs 280,000 ($3,130).

Released on January 4, the avant-garde accessory is the brainchild of Louis Vuitton's Men's Creative Director, Pharrell Williams. Drawing inspiration from the simplicity of a classic paper sandwich bag, Williams transformed the mundane into the extraordinary.

The large clutch mirrors the colour of the brand's iconic paper shopping bags and is adorned with the Louis Vuitton logo and "Maison Fondée En 1854" lettering. The bag is not just a fashion statement but a testament to the brand's ability to elevate everyday objects.

Measuring 30 centimetres in length, 27 centimetres in height, and 17 centimetres in width, the Louis Vuitton Sandwich Bag's interior features a zipped pocket and a double flat pocket.

Louis Vuitton’s Sandwich bag worth $3,130 breaks the internet; gets mixed reactions from netizens

Milan Fashion Week of menswear previews for the next cold weather season closed on Monday with Armani and Zegna, the A-to-Z of Italian men’s fashion. The relatively light calendar reflected the choice of some brands to favour coed shows during the womenswear week, scheduled for next month.

Some scenes from Monday’s menswear preview shows for fall-winter 2024-25:

UNDER ARMANI’S WATCHFUL EYE

An arresting photograph of one of Giorgio Armani’s penetrating blue nearly 90-year-old eyes served as a backdrop to Monday’s runway show. Its intensity underlined Armani’s singular role as the guiding force behind his fashion empire for nearly a half-century.

The Giorgio Armani collection featured the designer’s signature relaxed tailoring, accented by geometric patterns and rich textures in a dreamy mélange of soft neutrals. Herringbone and checks dominated, not just as patterns, but also as textures in knitwear that suggested an off-hours demeanour.

Armani leaned heavily into ski and snowboard wear, with baggy snow pants with an iridescent sheen paired with parkas for the slopes, and bulky knitwear for apres-ski. As with his Emporio Armani line, helmets, goggles and gloves completed the gear.

For the evening, velvet suits were set off by bright pink or blue vests or turtlenecks. Velvet ties added a richness to business suits invariably paired with white shirts, the ties slightly arching out of the suit jacket, smartly unsettling the silhouette. Quilted bags maintained the collection’s softness. A stunning dark leather midi coat with furry leopard print liner would turn heads even in Tony Cortina or Aspen.

“These are all things you know of Armani,” said Armani, who turns 90 in July.

”I don’t think that men need to be stunned every time by some strained element,” he told Italian journalists backstage.

ZEGNA CREATES A CASHMERE OASIS

Orangey tufts of precious raw wool floated down from the ceiling, accumulating like a humungous pile of fall leaves in the centre of the Zegna runway.

Cashmere was the centrepiece of artistic director Alessandro Sartori’s Zegna collection for fall-winter 2024-25, which highlighted the versatility of the fibre that can change surface, shape and texture.

The Zegna silhouette was relaxed and carefree, easily layered, in a palette of natural monochromes or amalgamated blends of mustard, granite, ink blue, autumnal brown, opaque black and white.

Boxy knitwear with three-quarter sleeves layered over mohair trousers in a heathery blue-brown blend.

Knit trousers were seamed at the crease for a put-together look. Pullovers became scarves wrapped around soft suits layered over cardigans. Collarless jackets feature blocks of texture for a contemporary feel.

Sartori said the collection focuses on the brand’s work at its Oasi wool mills and archives in Italy’s Piedmont region, where he said they work on “reshaping materials and re-mattering shapes.”

“I am building new classics, but they should be generous, effortless, durable, garments that you wear in many different types of styling. But most of all very chic,’’ Sartori said after the show.

It was a historic day for Denmark&nbsp;on Sunday (January 14) as King Frederik X assumed the throne from his mother, Queen Margrethe II, who officially signed her abdication papers. After taking the throne, the newly crowned King Frederick made his first appearance on the balcony of Christiansborg Palace in Copenhagen. 
 
To greet the sea of fans, King Fredrick appeared with his wife, the newly crowned Queen Mary of Denmark. The newly crowned king shared a sweet kiss with his wife. 
 
The royal, 55, looked emotional and was seen wiping his tears as he greeted the cheering fans. Crown Prince Christian, who is now the 18-year-old heir to Denmark's throne, Princess Isabella, 16, and twins Prince Vincent and Princess Josephine, 13, were also seen waving from the balcony of the castle.

In his speech, the new King&nbsp;said, ''I need all the support I can get. From my beloved wife, from my family, from you and from that which is greater than us. I face the future knowing that I am not alone,'' per Daily Mail.

As we observe Thyroid Awareness Month in January, it's essential to debunk prevalent myths surrounding thyroid health. Misconceptions often cloud our understanding, hindering proper awareness and preventive measures. Let's unravel these myths to foster a more accurate comprehension of thyroid health.

Myth: Only Women Have Thyroid Issues

Fact: While thyroid disorders are more common in women, men can also be affected. Gender does not exempt anyone from thyroid issues, and awareness is crucial for both genders.

Myth: Thyroid Disorders Are Always Genetic

Fact: While there can be a genetic component, environmental factors and lifestyle choices also play a significant role. Understanding the influence of both genetics and lifestyle helps in managing thyroid health effectively.

Myth: All Thyroid Problems Result in Weight Gain

Fact: While weight gain is a common symptom, thyroid disorders can also lead to weight loss or have no significant impact on weight. Symptoms vary, and weight is just one aspect to consider.

Myth: A Normal TSH Level Means the Thyroid Is Healthy

Fact: TSH (Thyroid-Stimulating Hormone) levels are important, but a comprehensive thyroid panel including T3, T4, and antibody tests provides a more accurate picture. Normal TSH levels do not always indicate overall thyroid health.

Myth: Hypothyroidism Is the Only Thyroid Disorder

Fact: Hypothyroidism (underactive thyroid) is prevalent, but hyperthyroidism (overactive thyroid), thyroid nodules, and autoimmune disorders like Hashimoto's and Graves' disease are also common. Understanding different disorders is crucial for accurate diagnosis and treatment.

Myth: You Can't Manage Thyroid Health Through Lifestyle Changes

Fact: While medication may be necessary, lifestyle changes such as a balanced diet, regular exercise, stress management, and adequate sleep can significantly support thyroid health. Lifestyle choices play a key role in managing symptoms.

Myth: Thyroid Disorders Are Always Accompanied by Obvious Symptoms

Fact: Thyroid disorders can be subtle and exhibit vague symptoms, making diagnosis challenging. Fatigue, mood swings, and hair loss may be overlooked. Regular check-ups and awareness of less obvious symptoms are essential for early detection.

Thyroid Awareness Month: 7 myths about Thyroid health debunked

The contrast between office life and the change of scenery provided by nature is the leitmotiv of the new men's collection unveiled in Milan on Sunday by emblematic stylist Miuccia Prada.

The highlight of the third day of Milan's Men's Fashion Week, in which minimalist elegance is embellished with a touch of colour, took place at the Prada Foundation on a glass floor revealing an autumnal landscape dotted with yellow leaves while guests sat on office chairs.

Dour grey, camel or black work suits are brightened up with little sparkles of fantasy, such as beany hats in purple, bright red and apple green, or flashy sandals. Slim monochrome ties also make a comeback with Prada.

It's the theme of "renewal and change, like nature (and) natural rhythms", that has inspired the 2023/24 autumn-winter collection, said Raf Simons, Miuccia Prada's creative co-director.

"The office and nature, inside and outside, the instinctive change of people who move from one sphere to the other" are reflected in the clothing, he added.

The Prada man's physique is slim and refined, the tight shirts are tucked into the trousers, the whole look accentuated by bold, wide belts.

The collection focuses on traditional chic, with broad-shouldered tweed or leather jackets, turtleneck sweaters and soft knit cardigans.

Matching shirts and straight-cut trousers in black, grey and pale pink lie under puffy bomber jackets and winter parkas. There are also loose double-breasted gold coats.

On Saturday, it was the turn of Giorgio Armani to unveil his Emporio line where adventure and daring were the key themes in a ready-to-wear collection aimed at a young, trendy clientele.

Fashionistas were submerged in the world of the sailor as models lit by a lighthouse paraded to the backdrop of the sounds of lapping waves.

"I've never hidden my love of the sea, the symbol of freedom and adventure," said Giorgio Armani, 89. "This year I thought about Atlantic crossings and of the boats that crossed it."

It is a collection adorned by soft and fluid materials with loose trousers, long leather coats and jackets with broad shoulders, but also sailor caps, overalls and oversized rubber shirts.

There was a similar marine theme for the ladies' wear, with long embroidered coats over matching mini-shorts and tops, completed with a pair of boots.

Black flowed once again down the runway for Dolce &amp; Gabbana's men's show in Milan on Saturday, in an homage to both meticulous tailoring and noble Italian materials and heritage.

"It's important to tell the story of genuine elegance of hand-made, of sartorial art -- they are facts, not words," Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana said at the Metropol, a former cinema that is now the house's headquarters.

Among the front-row guests were Amazon founder Jeff Bezos and his fiancee Lauren Sanchez, whose son Nikko Gonzalez was one of the models.

A far cry from former elaborate presentations with explosions of colours, this show was stripped down to a monochrome runway punctuated by a single raised platform which the models ascended and descended by stairs.

It was all about riffs on the classics -- deep black tuxedos adorned with silk Lavalliere ties, or creamy white versions with jackets cut short to reveal perfectly pleated cummerbunds.

Several razor-sharp jackets and billowing shirts favoured plunging necklines, others gave up on sleeves entirely.

Other modern twists included sheer lace shirts or knee-high patent leather boots, with many of the designs topped off with the house's signature gavroche caps.

"Today, everything comes from the art of tailoring, but there is good wine and there is cheap wine. For us, it's important to distinguish the quality," the designers said.

"Young people are turning to this style, they are looking for elegant clothes," added the duo, who just a few years ago created a menswear collection aimed squarely at generation TikTok that embraced the screaming colours of street style.

"If you want the next generation to be better than us, you have to give them a beautiful film, a beautiful story."

- Fendi in bucolic mode -

Another highly anticipated show was Fendi's.

The clothing played on the contrast between the peace of pastoral life and the fast pace of the city, with models switching between outdoor wear and city outfits.

Designer Silvia Venturini Fendi was largely inspired by the British countryside for her collection, which is both vintage and sophisticated.

Breaking codes, the men wore checked skirts or long pleated shorts resembling kilts, along with hiking socks and leather Wellington boots.

As Fendi has repeatedly argued, the boundaries between men's and women's wardrobes are blurring. 
Velvet pants and wool cardigans were on display alongside fisherman coats, bomber jackets and waterproof jackets.

Black flowed once again down the runway for Dolce & Gabbana's men's show in Milan on Saturday, in an homage to both meticulous tailoring and noble Italian materials and heritage. "It's important to tell the story of genuine elegance of hand-made, of sartorial art -- they are facts, not words," Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana said at the Metropol, a former cinema that is now the house's headquarters. Among the front-row guests were Amazon founder Jeff Bezos and his fiancee Lauren Sanchez, whose son Nikko Gonzalez was one of the models. A far cry from former elaborate presentations with explosions of colours, this show was stripped down to a monochrome runway punctuated by a single raised platform which the models ascended and descended by stairs. It was all about riffs on the classics -- deep black tuxedos adorned with silk Lavalliere ties, or creamy white versions with jackets cut short to reveal perfectly pleated cummerbunds. Several razor-sharp jackets and billowing shirts favoured plunging necklines, others gave up on sleeves entirely. Other modern twists included sheer lace shirts or knee-high patent leather boots, with many of the designs topped off with the house's signature gavroche caps. "Today, everything comes from the art of tailoring, but there is good wine and there is cheap wine. For us, it's important to distinguish the quality," the designers said. "Young people are turning to this style, they are looking for elegant clothes," added the duo, who just a few years ago created a menswear collection aimed squarely at generation TikTok that embraced the screaming colours of street style. "If you want the next generation to be better than us, you have to give them a beautiful film, a beautiful story." - Fendi in bucolic mode - Another highly anticipated show was Fendi's. The clothing played on the contrast between the peace of pastoral life and the fast pace of the city, with models switching between outdoor wear and city outfits. Designer Silvia Venturini Fendi was largely inspired by the British countryside for her collection, which is both vintage and sophisticated. Breaking codes, the men wore checked skirts or long pleated shorts resembling kilts, along with hiking socks and leather Wellington boots. As Fendi has repeatedly argued, the boundaries between men's and women's wardrobes are blurring. Velvet pants and wool cardigans were on display alongside fisherman coats, bomber jackets and waterproof jackets. On the city side, shiny satin and lurex brightened up evening outfits.

Sober and sleek elegance for Dolce & Gabbana's black-clad men

&nbsp;Milan Fashion Week took a peek into the next cold weather season with transforming twins at Dsquared2, the introduction of womenswear at Billionaire and the runway debut of luxury streetwear brand Stone Island.

The four days of preview shows include 22 runway shows and 39 presentations.

Some scenes from Milan Fashion Week mostly menswear preview shows for Fall-Winter 2024-25 on Friday.

TWIN TRANSFORMATION AT DSQUARED2

It was a grunge-to-glam twin switcheroo at Dsquared2, the Milan brand founded by Canadian twins Dean and Dan Caten.

Models traversed a gleaming white runway straight from a sci-fi set, one grimy, grungy jean-knit-and-flannel-clad backwoods twin at a time, only to be zapped into a spiffed-up version while passing through a “magic” capsule on the “fashion science laboratory.”

“It’s a transformation from day to night: the day version of twins and the night version of twins,’’ Dan Caten said backstage.

In pops a grimy twin with a tattered T-shirt and snow-splattered jeans under a furry parka, out pops a glammed-up twin in a peek-a-boo ribbon dress and heels. In goes a tussled twin in an open-V teddy bear coat with a cow print, out comes a groomed version in an unbuttoned sheer black blouson with shiny pants.

Twin shows have been done on the Milan runway before — memorably Alessandro Michele’s “Twinsburg’’ show, his last as Gucci's creative director.

But the Catens said they brought their own perspective as identical twins. “This is our point, being two different individuals, with the same face,’’ Dean Caten said.

For the finale, Dan Caten, dressed for the evening in a sheer black top and trousers, zapped into Dean Caten, who emerged after some short-circuiting in drag, to the delight of the fashion crowd.

BILLIONAIRE DEBUTS WOMENSWEAR

German designer Philipp Plein unveiled his latest collection for his luxury Billionaire menswear line with a twist: he added women’s looks for the first time.

As a lounge singer crooned, the Billionaire man strode in the Principe Savoia hotel bar in a warm parka or puffer coat with leather and corduroy detailing over a turtleneck and loose-fitting trousers. He was joined by the Billionaire woman, in long elegant coats matching day wear.

“I wanted to be where everything is going on,’’ Plein said backstage.

CURTAIN FALLS ON STONE ISLAND

Stone Island’s Milan runway debut was a sensorial experience, featuring flashing strobe lights and pulsating music. Models dressed in Stone Island luxury streetwear stood motionless on metal risers, the sound and light making it difficult to discern the looks.

The 41-year-old Italian brand founded with a focus on textile research is following its parent Moncler from luxury activewear onto the runway. But a planned finale to better reveal the looks with a big curtain drop suffered a glitch, and the fashion crowd walked away wondering if they had missed something.

Milan Fashion Week: Twins transform from grunge to glam at twin-designed Dsquared2

Next week, Prince Harry will be honoured with the "Living Legend of Aviation" award at&nbsp;the 21st Annual Living Legends of Aviation Awards in Beverly Hills for his "significant contributions to the aerospace industry". This decision has been met with criticism from British Army personnel and has sparked controversy.&nbsp;

The award ceremony, set to take place in Beverly Hills on January 19 and hosted by John Travolta, will see the Duke of Sussex join esteemed names like Buzz Aldrin and Neil Armstrong in the Aviation Hall of Fame. However, some military experts argue that Prince Harry's contribution doesn't warrant such a prestigious title.

Critics, including retired military officer Colonel Richard Kemp, have voiced their concerns, highlighting that while Prince Harry served commendably during his ten-year military tenure and completed two tours of service in Afghanistan, he did not distinguish himself significantly from other serving pilots. Colonel Kemp expressed his scepticism, stating, "He was a gunner in an Apache helicopter in Afghanistan, but so were many, many other people."

Kemp&nbsp;further emphasised that the recognition appears to be more about Prince Harry's celebrity status than his specific achievements.

Colonel Kemp told The Sun, "It is obviously because of who he is - not what he did. An Apache is crewed by two people - a pilot and a gunner. Harry was a gunner. He was number two in the aircraft. There have been some incredible aeronautical exploits from helicopter pilots in Afghanistan, Iraq, and other war zones. There are some extraordinary stories involving enormous flying skill and bravery. As far as I’m aware, Harry, though I commend him for going out there and doing it, did not accomplish feats like these."

Royal commentator Robert Jobson echoed similar sentiments, questioning the decision to honour Prince Harry in the category of living aviation legends. Jobson said, "I think the idea that Prince Harry is getting an award for being a living legend of aviation seems a bit daft. He's hardly Chuck Yeager or Amelia Earhart, is he? It devalues the word legend."&nbsp;

Several netizens, too, criticised the organisers for their decision of honouring Harry instead of "other worthy candidates". "Is this a joke? What is the legendary stuff that he has done? I am asking seriously! What the h**k has he done?” wrote one user on social media, according to the&nbsp;Daily Mail.

"Not a joke, but a paid induction," another argued. "The plus side is six other people are actually getting named awards. H is not. They must’ve really thought this was going to bring them good publicity," wrote a third X user.

The Audible Original goes beyond surface-level beauty concerns, addressing trending topics such as injectables, derma facials, and DIY skincare.&nbsp;

Here are five interesting facts that Vasudha shares in the audiobook:

Healthy Fats Nourish the Liver 
She introduces the significance of coconut and ghee. These healthy fats, she reveals, support liver health by not requiring bile for digestion—a crucial insight for those seeking wholesome beauty, from the inside out.

Vitamin D and Skin Health 
In the audiobook, she sheds light on the intimate connection between Vitamin D deficiency and skin health, associating it with conditions such as atopic dermatitis and psoriasis. She articulates how addressing this deficiency can alleviate symptoms of itchy, irritated skin.

Meditative Practices for Cellular Rejuvenation 
Vasudha advocates for meditative practices to prevent the shortening of telomeres—a marker of cellular ageing. By incorporating meditation, listeners can proactively engage in practices that contribute to a more youthful, vibrant appearance.

Acids vs. Retinoids 
Dispelling beauty myths, particularly for those in their 20s, she asserts that acids are superior to retinoids. Unlike retinoids, acids don’t cause a purge, preventing the breakouts often associated with the latter.

Perspective on Retinol 
"The Swiss chemist who first isolated retinol in 1931 received a Nobel Prize for his efforts,” she recounts. However, this ingredient was later misused for experiments on convicts in prison. It's quite a cautionary tale that adds depth to one’s choices, urging listeners to tread carefully in the pursuit of beauty and wellness.

Commenting on the launch of the audiobook, Vasudha Rai said, “I have personally experienced that beauty is both an inside-out and outside-in journey. With this audiobook, exclusively available on Audible, I wanted to cover every aspect of this experience.”

Audible launches 'The Book of Holistic Beauty' by Vasudha Rai

January is Glaucoma Awareness Month, a dedicated time to raise awareness about this often-silent eye condition that can lead to irreversible vision loss. World Health Organization estimates that over 80 million people are suffering from Glaucoma worldwide while 4.5 million people have gone blind due to the eye disease, making it the second leading cause of blindness in the world. In the United States alone, over 3 million people have Glaucoma and according to the National Eye Institute, this number will reach 4.2 million by 2030, projecting a 58 per cent increase.

Amidst the focus on Glaucoma during Glaucoma Awareness Month, it's essential to also shed light on another common eye ailment, i.e. Cataracts, and understand the differences between the two.

<h2>Glaucoma: The Silent Thief of Sight</h2>

Glaucoma is a group of eye conditions that damage the optic nerve, leading to progressive vision loss. Often referred to as the "silent thief of sight", Glaucoma typically presents no symptoms in its early stages, making regular eye exams crucial for early detection.

<h2>Types of Glaucoma</h2>

<ol>
	<li>Primary Open-Angle Glaucoma (POAG): This is the most common type and occurs when the drainage channels within the eye become clogged over time, increasing intraocular pressure.</li>
	<li>Angle-Closure Glaucoma: Less common, this type occurs when the iris blocks the drainage angle of the eye, leading to a sudden increase in intraocular pressure (IOP).</li>
	<li>Normal-Tension Glaucoma: In this variation, optic nerve damage occurs despite normal intraocular pressure. The reasons behind this phenomenon are still being studied.</li>
	<li>Secondary Glaucoma: This type of eye condition refers to any case in which another disease causes or contributes to increased eye pressure, resulting in optic nerve damage and vision loss.</li>
</ol>

There are several other less common types of Glaucoma including Congenial Glaucoma, Exfoliative Glaucoma, Neovascular Glaucoma, Traumatic Glaucoma, and Uveitic Glaucoma.

<h2>Risk Factors</h2>

<ul>
	<li>Age</li>
	<li>Family history</li>
	<li>Elevated intraocular pressure</li>
	<li>Ethnicity (African Americans and Hispanics are at higher risk)</li>
	<li>Medical conditions like diabetes and heart disease</li>
</ul>

<h2>Types of Glaucoma Tests</h2>

In an exclusive conversation with WION, Dr Deepak Sadarangani (Consultant, Ophthalmology - Jaslok Hospital &amp; Research Centre, Mumbai) shared details of five common tests available to diagnose Glaucoma. He revealed that depending on the symptoms, your healthcare provider may prescribe a combination of the tests mentioned below.

Dilated eye exam (Ophthalmoscope): A dilated eye exam helps view the optic nerve.

Gonioscopy: The purpose of a gonioscopy is to examine the angle where your cornea and iris intersect.

Pachymetry: A pachymetry involves using a pachymeter tool to help measure corneal thickness.

Perimetry: Also called a visual field test, the perimetry&nbsp;test makes a detailed record of your visual fields.

Tonometry: A tonometry test measures pressure in your eye.

Dr Deepak stressed, "Glaucoma doesn't always cause noticeable symptoms in its early stages, so testing can help detect it before it progresses to a more advanced stage."

<h2>Prevention and Treatment</h2>

Regular eye check-ups are vital for early detection, especially for those at higher risk. Treatment often involves medication to reduce intraocular pressure, laser therapy, or surgical procedures to improve fluid drainage.

<h2>Cataracts: Clouding the Lens</h2>

Cataracts, on the other hand, involve the clouding of the eye's natural lens, affecting vision. While Glaucoma is related to increased intraocular pressure, Cataracts have a different mechanism.

<h2>Causes of Cataracts</h2>

<ul>
	<li>Ageing (most common cause)</li>
	<li>Diabetes</li>
	<li>Smoking</li>
	<li>Prolonged exposure to sunlight</li>
	<li>Certain medications</li>
</ul>

<h2>Symptoms of Cataracts</h2>

<ul>
	<li>Blurred or hazy vision</li>
	<li>Sensitivity to light</li>
	<li>Difficulty seeing at night</li>
	<li>Fading or yellowing of colours</li>
	<li>Frequent changes in prescription glasses</li>
</ul>

<h2>Prevention and Treatment</h2>

Preventing Cataracts involves lifestyle choices such as protecting your eyes from harmful UV rays, maintaining a healthy diet, and managing conditions like diabetes. Surgical removal of the cloudy lens and replacing it with an artificial one is a common and effective treatment for cataracts.

<h2>Distinguishing the Differences</h2>

<ol>
	<li>Affected Structures: While Glaucoma primarily affects the optic nerve due to increased intraocular pressure, Cataracts involve clouding of the eye's natural lens.</li>
	<li>Symptoms: Glaucoma is often asymptomatic in the early stages and causes peripheral vision loss in later stages. On the other hand, Cataracts cause gradual vision changes, including blurred or hazy vision.</li>
	<li>Detection: Glaucoma can be detected through regular eye exams, including measurement of intraocular pressure. Meanwhile, Cataracts are detected through a comprehensive eye examination.</li>
</ol>

Speaking exclusively to WION, Dr Janhvi Mehta (Consultant, Ophthalmology - Jaslok Hospital &amp; Research Centre, Mumbai) explained, "Cataracts are usually painless and progress gradually, while Glaucoma on the other hand can be both slow and subtle or painful and quick. If you have Cataracts, you suffer from a change in the lens. The cloudiness causes the light to not be seen properly. Glaucoma is the damage of the optic nerve, which is an important part of how the brain processes the information you see due to an increase in eye pressure or sometimes not. Glaucoma is more likely to cause blindness and the blindness is irreversible, so treatment is vital."

Understanding the differences between these two eye conditions empowers all of us to take proactive steps to preserve our vision. Whether it's the silent progression of Glaucoma or the gradual clouding of Cataracts, early detection and appropriate management are key to maintaining eye health and preventing permanent vision loss.

As Denmark's Queen Margrethe II abdicates the throne&nbsp;and makes way for the new monarch and her son Crown Prince Frederik is set to take over the reins, the country will also be getting a new queen in Frederik's wife, Crown Princess Mary.&nbsp; 
 
While she is a commoner, Australian-born Mary has often been considered one of the most popular royals&nbsp;in the world and lauded for her style and elegance.

Mary Donaldson was working as an advertising executive in Australia when she met the future king while out with friends at Sydney's Slip Inn bar, during the Summer Olympics in 2000. 
 
She only discovered later that he was the crown prince of Denmark and his group of friends was made up of other European royals-- including his younger brother Prince Joachim and cousin Prince Nikolaos of Greece and Denmark. 
 
"The first time we met, we shook hands," she said in an interview several years ago. "I didn't know he was the prince of Denmark. Half an hour later, someone came up to me and said, 'Do you know who these people are?'"

The couple was in a discreet long-distance relationship for nearly three years before announcing their engagement in October 2003. They married on May 14, 2004, in Copenhagen Cathedral.&nbsp;

They are now parents to four children- &nbsp;Prince Christian, 18, who will one day become king after his father, Princess Isabella, 16, and twins Prince Vincent and Princess Josephine, who turn 13 next week.&nbsp;

Mary will become queen on January 14, after Margrethe II announced in her annual New Year's Eve speech on Sunday that she would abdicate in favour of her son, citing age and health issues. 
 
New Queen is a trendsetter&nbsp; 
 
Mary made a splash in Denmark from the start, impressing Danes with her ability to learn the Danish language quickly.

A poll published by Danish television TV2 in December declared her Denmark's third-most popular royal, behind the immensely popular queen and Mary's husband Frederik.

She is often compared to Britain's Crown Princess Kate Middleton for her sense of&nbsp;style and long dark locks, regularly making the best-dressed pages of Danish and international magazines.

She is also known for her work to fight bullying, domestic violence and social isolation, as well as promoting mental health and women's rights.

Mary and Frederik are considered a modern couple&nbsp;who love pop music, modern art and sports, according to historian Sebastian Olden-Jorgensen.

They have tried to give their four children as normal an upbringing as possible, sending them mainly to state schools.

Their first-born, Prince Christian, was the first Danish royal to attend daycare. 
 
They "do not represent a potential revolution compared to the queen", but a careful transition adapting to the times, Olden-Jorgensen said. Mary has made regular visits back to Australia with her husband and children over the years, where she is keenly followed by the media.

Meet Denmark's future queen, Australian-born Mary Donaldson who is a commoner

A rebellious teen turned "woke" family man, Denmark's future king Crown Prince Frederik is the embodiment of the country's relaxed, liberal monarchy.

Passionate about the environment, he has discreetly imposed himself in the shadow of his hugely popular mother, Queen Margrethe II, championing Denmark and its drive to find solutions to the climate crisis.

"When the time comes, I will guide the ship," he said in a speech celebrating his chain-smoking mother's half-century on the throne in 2022.

"I will follow you, as you followed your father" in leading the thousand-year-old institution, Prince Frederik added.

But this measured assurance is a far cry from his younger self. 
 
"He was not strictly speaking a rebel, but as a child and young man, he was very uncomfortable with the media attention and the knowledge that he was going to be king," said Gitte Redder, an expert on the Danish royal family.

He only "gained confidence in his mid-20s," she told AFP.

- Lonely and tormented - 
 
A lonely and tormented teenager, Frederik resented his parents for neglecting him as they fulfilled their royal obligations.

He sought solace in fast cars and fast living, and was considered a spoiled party prince in the early 1990s.

But that view began to change after he graduated from Aarhus University in 1995, the first Danish royal to complete a university education.

His time at college included a stint at Harvard in the United States, where he was enrolled under the pseudonym Frederik Henriksen. 
 
The fake surname was a nod to his father, French diplomat Henri de Monpezat who became Prince Consort Henrik when he married Margrethe.

But Frederik -- who speaks English, French and German -- really began to mature into his role during his time training in the three branches of Denmark's military.&nbsp;

The prince served in the navy's Frogmen Corps -- where he was nicknamed "Pingo" (Penguin) -- one of only four of the 300 recruits to pass all of the tests in 1995.

In 2000, he took part in a four-month, 3,500-kilometre (2,175-mile) ski expedition across Greenland.

- Complementing the queen - 
 
His daredevil side has landed him in hospital after sledging and scooter accidents, but his popularity has soared, boosted by the Royal Run, annual fun runs across Denmark he began in 2018. 
 
"He is a sportsman, he attends concerts and football matches, which makes him even more accessible than his mother," royal expert Redder said.

"I don't want to lock myself in a fortress. I want to be myself, a human being," he once said, insisting he would stick to that even after taking the throne.

He met his wife Mary Donaldson, an Australian lawyer, in a Sydney bar during the 2000 Olympic Games.

They have tried to give their four children as normal an upbringing as possible, sending them mainly to state schools.

Their eldest, Prince Christian, who recently turned 18, was the first Danish royal to go to daycare.

The couple have gradually taken on many royal duties in recent years as the queen entered her eighties, "but very slowly and depending on the queen's health", said historian Sebastian Olden-Jorgensen. 
The couple are "modern, woke, lovers of pop music, modern art and sports," he added.

They "do not represent a potential revolution compared to the queen", but a careful transition adapting to the times, he said.

Frederik has said that he sees himself complementing his mother, a polymath who is an accomplished writer and artist.

"You paint, I exercise. You dig for buried objects from the past, I buried my head in order not to be recognised during my time in the armed forces. You are a master of words. I am sometimes at a loss for them," he joked during the queen's jubilee celebrations.

For centuries, honey has been cherished not only for its sweet taste but also for its medicinal properties. Rooted in ancient remedies and described in Ayurveda as 'Madhu', honey has stood the test of time as a versatile elixir.&nbsp; 
 
Ayurveda categorizes individuals into different constitutional types or doshas, namely 'Vata', 'Pitta', and 'Kapha'. Honey is considered unique in its ability to balance all three doshas when used appropriately. It is believed to harmonize the body's energies and promote overall well-being. 
 
As winter envelops us in its chilly embrace, let's explore how this golden nectar, as celebrated in ancient traditions, becomes our ally in staying healthy and warm during the cold season.

1. Immunity Boost: 
 
Winter often brings a parade of sniffles and sneezes. Honey has antioxidant, antibacterial, and antimicrobial properties that can fight the virus and help treat the symptoms.&nbsp; 
 
A spoonful a day can keep the winter blues away by supporting our body's natural defences.

2. Sore throat &amp; cough:&nbsp; 
 
In the frost and chilly air, our throats may feel scratchy and irritated. Enter honey, the time-tested remedy for sore throats. Honey helps in decreasing the inflammation &amp; irritation in the throat. Another study also found that honey may also reduce mucus secretion, hence helping in wet &amp; dry cough.&nbsp; 
 
Mixed in warm water or herbal teas, it brings relief and a touch of sweetness to comfort winter-weary throats.

3. Natural Energy: 
 
Winter's chill sometimes brings a dip in energy levels, hence making us feel lazy and lethargic.&nbsp; 
 
Instead of going for foods that are filled with sugar why not prefer honey which is a natural source of energy?&nbsp; 
 
A drizzle on your morning toast or a light stir into your tea can provide a gentle and sustained boost to power you through the day.

4. Dry Skin Relief: 
 
Cold winds can leave our skin parched. When applied to the skin, it draws moisture from the air and binds it to the skin, keeping it hydrated. The sticky texture of honey creates a protective barrier on the skin, preventing moisture loss. This helps to lock in hydration and keep the skin supple. 
 
Antioxidants in honey also combat free radicals that contribute to dry and aging skin.

How to Use Honey for Dry Skin:

- Honey and Aloe Vera:&nbsp; 
 
Mix honey with aloe vera gel for added soothing and moisturizing benefits. Apply the mixture to the skin and rinse off after 15-20 minutes.

- Honey and Yogurt:&nbsp; 
 
Combine honey with plain yogurt for a hydrating mask. Yogurt adds an extra dose of moisture and helps in exfoliation. Leave it on for 15-20 minutes before rinsing.

When using honey for skin care, choosing raw honey for maximum benefits is essential. Always perform a patch test to ensure you don't have any allergic reactions, and consult with a dermatologist if you have specific skin concerns.

5. Sleep Aid:

As the nights grow longer, quality sleep becomes even more precious. A warm glass of milk with honey before bedtime is a timeless ritual to promote a restful night's sleep.&nbsp;

So incorporate this golden nectar into your daily rituals – whether it's a spoonful in the morning, a soothing cup of honey-infused tea, or a comforting honey mask for your skin &amp; stay away from winter blues!

Why is honey a must-have for you this winter?

It’s that time of the year again when we make resolutions to commit to doing something we have long put on the back burner. Eating healthy, having fitness goals, spending more time with our loved ones, travelling etc., are on almost everyone’s lists. But that willpower often needs to be accompanied by a little bit of luck.&nbsp;

Speaking of luck, how about learning if love is where you’ll get lucky this year? You might be looking for a new partner, or simply trying to strengthen your existing bond. Either way, the stars can give you a slight peek into what's coming.

Here is the love forecast for 2024 by Dr Madhu Kotiya, renowned Tarot Mentor, Numerologist and Crystal Therapist.&nbsp;&nbsp;

&nbsp;

<h2>How to calculate your numerology number?</h2>

To know what number you are, simply add the two digits of your birth date. For eg. If your birthday falls on Dec 15, simply add 1 and 5, and your number, based on numerology, will be 6.

&nbsp;

Number 1: A revitalising shift in your personal connections and emotional ties is on the cards. If you have been looking to enter a committed relationship, this is the perfect year to explore interpersonal relationships. Leave the familiar and explore the unknown. Putting yourself in new social environments increases your chances of meeting someone extraordinary, paving the way for a significant bond. If you are already in a committed relationship, be prepared for the unpredictable. There might be some twists in your relationship. Keep an open mind and heart, and chances are that you might find someone for life, be it a lover or a friend.&nbsp;

&nbsp;

Number 2: Heartfelt connections and deep bonds await you in 2024. For those in committed relationships, an enriching journey will lead you to the peak of harmony and satisfaction. You will exude charm and a sense of mystery which will catch the attention and admiration of many. This magnetic pull will not only enhance your romantic life, marked by fervent passion and warmth but also positively impact your family and work relationships. During this year, certain individuals, born under the number 2 will exhibit an amplified charisma and appeal. It's a time to flow naturally with the year's rhythm, allowing it to lead you smoothly through its duration. Remember to keep your emotions balanced and steer clear of getting overly entangled in minor issues. Prioritise cherishing the time spent with loved ones, as these moments are invaluable.

&nbsp;

Number 3: In your ongoing significant relationship, there may be a phase of gradual evolution. This is not a setback but rather an indication of the strengthening and maturation of your connection. It's a suitable period for considering major life choices, including living together, formalising your union, or beginning a family. For those considering expanding their family, the period ahead looks especially promising. However, if you're not prepared yet, it's prudent to be cautious to prevent any unforeseen changes. For individuals who are single, a time rich with potential for romantic encounters and new connections lies ahead. Be receptive and open to these opportunities. This is also a time for self-exploration, to better understand your own needs and desires, making sure your decisions are in harmony with your true goals. Have faith in the natural flow of your relationships, be it deepening current ones or creating new bonds. Each stage, regardless of its pace, brings its own significance and learning experiences.

&nbsp;

Number 4: As the year unfolds, those who are single may notice an abundance of chances to encounter new people, significantly more than in previous years. This period is characterised not only by the blossoming of romantic relationships but also by the strengthening of friendships and the broadening of social circles in both personal and professional settings. The ease with which you'll find success in various interpersonal interactions may come as a pleasant surprise, marking a time of deserved growth and connection in your life. Your ability to empathize and communicate effectively will be crucial during this time. Throughout the year, you'll find that forming meaningful connections comes naturally to you. Your innate charm and understanding will shine through, drawing people towards you with little effort. This is the perfect time to leverage the qualities that make you approachable and endearing. Each interaction offers an opportunity for learning and personal growth, contributing positively to your life journey. Embrace this year with a sense of optimism and openness, prepared to welcome the diverse and enriching relationships that are on the horizon.

&nbsp;

Number 5: The forthcoming year marks a significant juncture for introspection and pivotal choices in personal relationships. Whether involved in a romantic bond or exploring the&nbsp;single life, this year offers a window to critically assess one’s emotional path and ponder on forthcoming steps. For individuals in partnerships, it’s vital to engage in profound conversations regarding the evolution and trajectory of your bond. This doesn’t inherently suggest a separation, but rather, it may indicate a transition into a deeper stage, such as moving in together, marriage, or considering parenthood. For those who find themselves dissatisfied within their current partnership, this might be the right time to think about starting anew, whether that means going solo or with a new partner. This period emphasises embracing alterations and growth, whether in the context of a relationship or in one’s personal journey. For those who are single, this period unfolds a myriad of potential paths and prospects. However, one should navigate these choices with&nbsp;mindfulness. Relying on your inner wisdom and instinctual guidance is crucial during this time. It’s these intuitive signals that will guide you towards a meaningful and authentic relationship. Keep in mind, this is a period of transformation and fresh starts, presenting an opportunity to realign with your individual goals and emotional desires.

&nbsp;

Number 6: The year 2024 will be a crucial time to introspect your personal connections. Having honest discussions with your significant other can illuminate your mutual positions and potential future actions. The forthcoming period heralds a phase of substantial change and new beginnings. This doesn't necessarily entail ending your current partnership. Rather, it might mean progressing to a new phase together, such as moving in, getting married, or planning for a family. On the other hand, if you're experiencing dissatisfaction in your relationship, it might be an opportune moment to seek a new beginning, be it embracing singlehood or venturing into a new romance. For individuals who are single, this time frame brings an abundance of opportunities for forming bonds. Exercising discernment and prudence in choices is crucial. Relying on your intuition and heeding your inner voice is pivotal in finding a relationship that is both rewarding and genuine.

&nbsp;

Number 7: The year 2024 heralds a significant period for individuals in relationships, emphasizing the importance of engaging in deep, meaningful dialogues about the progress and future trajectory of their union. Expect substantial changes and opportunities for new beginnings. However, this doesn’t necessarily mean that you will end your current partnership, rather, it could mean stepping into a new chapter together. It could either mean loving with someone, a marriage, or starting a family. You will also rediscover personal independence or seek new interpersonal connections. For single individuals, the year ahead is filled with a wide range of possibilities and choices in the realm of personal connections. However, exercising caution and deliberation in these choices is essential to avoid any undesirable experience. Relying on one's own intuition and inner wisdom is key to navigating relationships that are both fulfilling and authentic.

&nbsp;

Number 8: Individuals in romantic partnerships can expect a period characterised by calmness, solidity, and a well-balanced dynamic. It's essential to be aware of and address your personal shortcomings to prevent unnecessary conflicts. Similarly, accepting your partner's inherent imperfections is vital. Be mindful that there might be occasions when your vigour contrasts with your partner's; aim for mutual understanding and adjustment. This year, the focus on deepening intimacy and considerations about expanding the family may not be predominant, yet welcoming these aspects could enrich your relationship positively. For those who are not in a relationship, this period is an opportunity for self-reflection and personal development, setting the stage for the potential of a meaningful connection in the future. For individuals aspiring to find love, maintaining emotional genuineness and staying true to their inner feelings is crucial. Remember, the journey towards finding a connection is as important as the destination, so cherish the process of self-discovery and emotional maturation.

&nbsp;

Number 9: You might face some challenges when it comes to relationships this year. Embracing these situations with a composed and patient attitude will be essential. As the year progresses, the virtues of patience and empathy become crucial in shaping the outcomes. This time will prove to be a critical phase for testing the dynamics of various relationships, whether with close friends, partners, or acquaintances. The resilience and sincerity of these connections will become apparent. Strong, authentic relationships are likely to withstand these tests, whereas more fragile links may prompt significant reflections and decisions. There could be moments of introspection about whether to maintain certain bonds or to part ways in good spirits. The year offers opportunities for relationships to either solidify or come to a natural conclusion. The path and resilience of these relationships will largely hinge on your choices and actions. Regardless of what transpires, these experiences are integral to your journey of personal development, leaving you more empowered and self-aware.

It’s that time of the year again when we make resolutions to commit to doing something we have long put on the back burner. Eating healthy, having fitness goals, spending more time with our loved ones, travelling etc.

It’s that time of the year again when we make resolutions to commit to doing something we have long put on the back burner. Eating healthy, having fitness goals, spending more time with our loved ones, travelling etc., are on almost everyone’s lists. But that willpower often needs to be accompanied by a little bit of luck. Speaking of luck, how about learning if love is where you’ll get lucky this year? You might be looking for a new partner, or simply trying to strengthen your existing bond. Either way, the stars can give you a slight peek into what's coming. Here is the love forecast for 2024 by Dr Madhu Kotiya, renowned Tarot Mentor, Numerologist and Crystal Therapist. How to calculate your numerology number? To know what number you are, simply add the two digits of your birth date. For eg. If your birthday falls on Dec 15, simply add 1 and 5, and your number, based on numerology, will be 6. Number 1: A revitalising shift in your personal connections and emotional ties is on the cards. If you have been looking to enter a committed relationship, this is the perfect year to explore interpersonal relationships. Leave the familiar and explore the unknown. Putting yourself in new social environments increases your chances of meeting someone extraordinary, paving the way for a significant bond. If you are already in a committed relationship, be prepared for the unpredictable. There might be some twists in your relationship. Keep an open mind and heart, and chances are that you might find someone for life, be it a lover or a friend. Number 2: Heartfelt connections and deep bonds await you in 2024. For those in committed relationships, an enriching journey will lead you to the peak of harmony and satisfaction. You will exude charm and a sense of mystery which will catch the attention and admiration of many. This magnetic pull will not only enhance your romantic life, marked by fervent passion and warmth but also positively impact your family and work relationships. During this year, certain individuals, born under the number 2 will exhibit an amplified charisma and appeal. It's a time to flow naturally with the year's rhythm, allowing it to lead you smoothly through its duration. Remember to keep your emotions balanced and steer clear of getting overly entangled in minor issues. Prioritise cherishing the time spent with loved ones, as these moments are invaluable. Number 3: In your ongoing significant relationship, there may be a phase of gradual evolution. This is not a setback but rather an indication of the strengthening and maturation of your connection. It's a suitable period for considering major life choices, including living together, formalising your union, or beginning a family. For those considering expanding their family, the period ahead looks especially promising. However, if you're not prepared yet, it's prudent to be cautious to prevent any unforeseen changes. For individuals who are single, a time rich with potential for romantic encounters and new connections lies ahead. Be receptive and open to these opportunities. This is also a time for self-exploration, to better understand your own needs and desires, making sure your decisions are in harmony with your true goals. Have faith in the natural flow of your relationships, be it deepening current ones or creating new bonds. Each stage, regardless of its pace, brings its own significance and learning experiences. Number 4: As the year unfolds, those who are single may notice an abundance of chances to encounter new people, significantly more than in previous years. This period is characterised not only by the blossoming of romantic relationships but also by the strengthening of friendships and the broadening of social circles in both personal and professional settings. The ease with which you'll find success in various interpersonal interactions may come as a pleasant surprise, marking a time of deserved growth and connection in your life. Your ability to empathize and communicate effectively will be crucial during this time. Throughout the year, you'll find that forming meaningful connections comes naturally to you. Your innate charm and understanding will shine through, drawing people towards you with little effort. This is the perfect time to leverage the qualities that make you approachable and endearing. Each interaction offers an opportunity for learning and personal growth, contributing positively to your life journey. Embrace this year with a sense of optimism and openness, prepared to welcome the diverse and enriching relationships that are on the horizon. Number 5: The forthcoming year marks a significant juncture for introspection and pivotal choices in personal relationships. Whether involved in a romantic bond or exploring the single life, this year offers a window to critically assess one’s emotional path and ponder on forthcoming steps. For individuals in partnerships, it’s vital to engage in profound conversations regarding the evolution and trajectory of your bond. This doesn’t inherently suggest a separation, but rather, it may indicate a transition into a deeper stage, such as moving in together, marriage, or considering parenthood. For those who find themselves dissatisfied within their current partnership, this might be the right time to think about starting anew, whether that means going solo or with a new partner. This period emphasises embracing alterations and growth, whether in the context of a relationship or in one’s personal journey. For those who are single, this period unfolds a myriad of potential paths and prospects. However, one should navigate these choices with mindfulness. Relying on your inner wisdom and instinctual guidance is crucial during this time. It’s these intuitive signals that will guide you towards a meaningful and authentic relationship. Keep in mind, this is a period of transformation and fresh starts, presenting an opportunity to realign with your individual goals and emotional desires. Number 6: The year 2024 will be a crucial time to introspect your personal connections. Having honest discussions with your significant other can illuminate your mutual positions and potential future actions. The forthcoming period heralds a phase of substantial change and new beginnings. This doesn't necessarily entail ending your current partnership. Rather, it might mean progressing to a new phase together, such as moving in, getting married, or planning for a family. On the other hand, if you're experiencing dissatisfaction in your relationship, it might be an opportune moment to seek a new beginning, be it embracing singlehood or venturing into a new romance. For individuals who are single, this time frame brings an abundance of opportunities for forming bonds. Exercising discernment and prudence in choices is crucial. Relying on your intuition and heeding your inner voice is pivotal in finding a relationship that is both rewarding and genuine. Number 7: The year 2024 heralds a significant period for individuals in relationships, emphasizing the importance of engaging in deep, meaningful dialogues about the progress and future trajectory of their union. Expect substantial changes and opportunities for new beginnings. However, this doesn’t necessarily mean that you will end your current partnership, rather, it could mean stepping into a new chapter together. It could either mean loving with someone, a marriage, or starting a family. You will also rediscover personal independence or seek new interpersonal connections. For single individuals, the year ahead is filled with a wide range of possibilities and choices in the realm of personal connections. However, exercising caution and deliberation in these choices is essential to avoid any undesirable experience. Relying on one's own intuition and inner wisdom is key to navigating relationships that are both fulfilling and authentic. Number 8: Individuals in romantic partnerships can expect a period characterised by calmness, solidity, and a well-balanced dynamic. It's essential to be aware of and address your personal shortcomings to prevent unnecessary conflicts. Similarly, accepting your partner's inherent imperfections is vital. Be mindful that there might be occasions when your vigour contrasts with your partner's; aim for mutual understanding and adjustment. This year, the focus on deepening intimacy and considerations about expanding the family may not be predominant, yet welcoming these aspects could enrich your relationship positively. For those who are not in a relationship, this period is an opportunity for self-reflection and personal development, setting the stage for the potential of a meaningful connection in the future. For individuals aspiring to find love, maintaining emotional genuineness and staying true to their inner feelings is crucial. Remember, the journey towards finding a connection is as important as the destination, so cherish the process of self-discovery and emotional maturation. Number 9: You might face some challenges when it comes to relationships this year. Embracing these situations with a composed and patient attitude will be essential. As the year progresses, the virtues of patience and empathy become crucial in shaping the outcomes. This time will prove to be a critical phase for testing the dynamics of various relationships, whether with close friends, partners, or acquaintances. The resilience and sincerity of these connections will become apparent. Strong, authentic relationships are likely to withstand these tests, whereas more fragile links may prompt significant reflections and decisions. There could be moments of introspection about whether to maintain certain bonds or to part ways in good spirits. The year offers opportunities for relationships to either solidify or come to a natural conclusion. The path and resilience of these relationships will largely hinge on your choices and actions. Regardless of what transpires, these experiences are integral to your journey of personal development, leaving you more empowered and self-aware.

Love Fortune 2024: What do the stars have in store for your love life in new year

It was a great year for arts, as we got up and took notice of all the talent around us. 2023 will be remembered as the year of great exchanges and activities in the world of arts. It marked S.H. Raza’s centenary birth year, whose rise to fame is often synonymous with piqued interest in modern art in India. From modern art prices continuing to set records at auctions to people making an effort to appreciate the thought behind these art pieces, 2023 was kind to those associated with it.&nbsp;

As we close the year, we got talking to Uday Jain, Director of Dhoomimal Gallery on the current trends that ruled in the arts space and what the new year holds for them. While there is currently an exhibition titled “Exodus” ongoing at Dhoomimal which happens to be the oldest contemporary art gallery in India, Uday spoke about all the things he’s hopeful to happen in the year 2024.&nbsp;

<h2>Key Positive Changes in 2023</h2>

The year started with exhibitions and tributes for none other than S.H. Raza including ‘Raza and Contemporaries,' curated by Yashodhara Dalmiya, and a retrospective exhibition featuring over 100 works spanning six decades at the Centre Pompidou in Paris. Uday says, “This exhibition was groundbreaking for Indian art, being the first time an exhibition of a single artist was showcased at such a prominent international venue.”

Among the financially lucrative changes we saw in 2023 was that modern art prices continued to set records at auctions. “Pundoles sold a Raza piece for over 50 crores, setting a world record for Indian art. Barely a month later, an Amrita Shergill piece surpassed that record at Saffron, breaching the 60 crore mark,” he adds.&nbsp;

Not to forget, Delhi hosted India's first hotel art fair, Artix, at the Taj Palace Hotel in September and has already announced its second edition in March in Hyderabad. Mumbai held the inaugural edition of Art Mumbai at the Mahalaxmi Race Course, drawing significant attention and attendance. Another edition is set for November 24. Additionally, Chennai celebrated an art week in December, featuring exhibitors from Delhi, Ahmedabad, and various collaborations throughout the city, attracting a large number of art enthusiasts. These art exchanges across various centers, especially around Delhi, were the highlights of 2023, and more editions are planned for 2024.

<h2>What Pulled The Art World Down in 2023</h2>

While it’s been a great year for talent, what has affected the growth is the sale of fake artwork in context with art galleries that boast of providing authentic artwork and building a platform of trust at both customer and seller levels. Uday reflects, “While the art market continues to flourish, the counterfeit art market is also growing rapidly. Although some reputed galleries and auction houses have faced challenges, they remain the safest options for collectors seeking authentic artworks. Many have fallen victim to private consultants offering deals, not realising the lack of authenticity renders such works worthless. Certification is crucial. To address this issue, Dhoomimal has introduced tamper-proof holograms that will now be affixed to all our artworks and accompanying certificates.”

<h2>Hoping For a Better Future?</h2>

Hopeful for a brighter future, Uday says, “I believe the focus should shift from a select few modern artists. This concentration often leads to an increase in fake artworks. Encouraging interest in living artists, who will likely gain prominence in the future and can currently authenticate their own works, would be a positive shift.”

The new year 2024 also marks the centenary of Souza, the controversial yet celebrated Indian artist. If you are looking to invest time in Souza’s works in the new year, numerous tribute shows are planned, including one by Dhoomimal in January 2024, along with exhibitions by institutions like Grosvenor, KNMA, and the Guggenheim.

Everything that made a buzz in the world of arts: Dhoomimal Gallery Director Interview

Infertility is a couple’s inability to conceive a child through natural conception even after a year of trying. According to several reports, in the past three to four decades, there has been a significant rise in infertility issues in men.&nbsp;In India, as the number continues to rise, we got in touch with Dr Parul Gupta Khanna, a fertility expert with Nova IVF Fertility, Gurugram, who got talking about various issues such as the increased exposure to environmental chemicals that disrupt one’s endocrine balance.

Here are a few common myths around male infertility that the expert helps to break and find a solution for:

Myth - Male infertility is not affected with increasing age 
The relevance of age in the context of male fertility has often been downplayed. Contrary to popular belief that men do not face a biological clock for parenthood, there is evolving research contradicting this age-old belief. While women are acknowledged to have a finite number of eggs, it is now evident that male fertility is not immune to the effects of aging. Studies indicate a notable decline in the quality of sperm with advancing age. Moreover, the levels of testosterone, a crucial male sex hormone produced in the testicles, exhibit a decline.

Myth - Optimal physical fitness equates to enhanced fertility 
Physical fitness implies freedom from various diseases, a robust immune system, and well-managed blood pressure and cholesterol levels. However, it is imperative to recognise that physical fitness alone does not guarantee the presence of healthy sperm or improved fertility.

Myth- Infertility is always a female issue 
This prevailing misconception has endured within our societal fabric for an extended period. Even today, many believe that infertility pertains to females only. It is crucial to dispel this misconception and acknowledge that infertility is not confined to a specific gender; rather, it can manifest in both females and males.

Myth - A man’s occupation has no impact on fertility rates 
Compounds known to adversely affect sperm health include pesticides like organophosphates, plastics such as phthalates and BPA, as well as heavy metals like cadmium and lead. Professions involving exposure to electromagnetic radiation, heat, and mechanical vibrations can also impact male fertility.

Myth- Regular masturbation diminishes sperm count 
While frequent masturbation is associated with a potential decrease in sperm count, it is crucial to recognise the simultaneous positive impact on sperm quality. Limited ejaculation intervals may contribute to an accumulation of inactive sperm. According to expert advice, couples aspiring to conceive are recommended to engage in intimacy&nbsp;every other day, ensuring the freshness of sperm quality.

In a majority of instances, male fertility concerns can be effectively addressed through lifestyle adjustments, targeted supplementation, surgical interventions, and appropriate medical interventions such as sperm freezing, IVF, ICSI, etc.

Male infertility: Expert busts myths on age, fitness levels, occupation and more

In the age of rapid technological advancements, a concerning technology known as 'deepfake'&nbsp;is&nbsp;raising serious questions about the authenticity of digital content and the potential for misinformation. Deepfakes, a portmanteau of 'deep learning'&nbsp;and 'fake',&nbsp;are a product of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning technologies that can manipulate video and audio content to convincingly alter the appearances, speeches, and actions of individuals.&nbsp;

<h2>Indian govt acts against deepfake content</h2>

The Indian government on Tuesday (Dec 26) issued a directive to social media companies to curb deepfake content on their platforms.&nbsp;

The Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY) asked Facebook, Instagram, X and others to remove AI-generated deceptive videos and comply with Information Technology (IT) Rules.&nbsp;As per Indian IT rules, social media platforms must ensure that activities that cause 11 listed harms are not carried out.

<h2>What are deepfakes?</h2>

Deepfakes are like digital magic tricks. They use computers to make fake videos or audio that look and sound real. It's like making a movie, but with real people doing things they never really did.

Deepfake technology operates through a complex interplay of two key algorithms: a generator and a discriminator. These algorithms work together within a framework called a generative adversarial network (GAN) and it employs deep learning principles to create and refine fake content.

Generator Algorithm: The generator's primary role is to produce initial fake digital content, whether it's an audio, a photograph or video. The generator's objective is to mimic the target individual's appearance, voice, or behaviour as closely as possible.

Discriminator Algorithm: The discriminator then analyses the content created by the generator to determine how authentic or fake it appears.

This feedback loop between the generator and discriminator is repeated multiple times, creating a continuous cycle of improvement.

<h2>Why deepfakes raise&nbsp;concerns?</h2>

Misinformation and Disinformation: Deepfakes can be used to create convincing videos or audio recordings of individuals saying or doing things they never did. This poses a severe risk in the spread of false information, causing damage to their reputation&nbsp;and influencing public opinion.

Privacy Invasion: Deepfake technology can manipulate innocent people's images or voices for malicious purposes, violating their privacy and potentially leading to harassment, blackmail, or even exploitation.

Election Interference: There is a growing concern that deepfakes could be used to manipulate political events, such as creating fake speeches or interviews that could sway public perception during elections.

Crime and Fraud: Criminals could exploit deepfake technology to impersonate others in fraudulent activities, making it difficult for authorities to identify and prosecute the culprits.

Cybersecurity: As deepfake technology advances, it can become more challenging to detect and prevent cyberattacks that rely on manipulated videos or audio recordings.

<h2>Preventing and detecting deepfakes</h2>

As deepfake technology becomes more sophisticated, researchers and tech companies are working on methods to detect and mitigate the impact of deepfakes. This includes developing algorithms and software that can identify inconsistencies in manipulated content and verify content authenticity.

Here are 7 tips for identifying deepfake audio and video:

Inconsistencies in Facial Expressions and Movements: Pay close attention to the subject's facial expressions, blinking patterns, or unusual movements that may appear unnatural or out of sync with the audio.

Lip Sync Errors: Look for discrepancies between the spoken words and lip movements. Deepfake technology may not always perfectly synchronise audio with the video.

Unusual Lighting and Shadows: Analyse the lighting and shadows in the video. Deepfake content may have inconsistencies in lighting that can reveal manipulation.

Blurry or Misaligned Edges: Check for distorted or blurred edges around the subject's face, especially near the hairline or the chin, which can indicate digital manipulation.

Unusual Backgrounds: Deepfakes may introduce inconsistencies in the background or surroundings. Look for strange patterns, reflections, or anomalies.

Audio Anomalies: Look out for audio glitches, background noise, or changes in voice tone that may signal audio manipulation.

Use Deepfake Detection Tools: Several online tools and software applications are designed to identify deepfake content. You can use these tools to analyse media for potential manipulation.

There have been several high-profile cases involving deepfake videos of celebrities, politicians and other prominent figures. Several deepfake videos of politicians like Barack Obama, Donald Trump, and Vladimir Putin are currently doing rounds on social media. 
 
Bollywood actress Rashmika Mandanna is the latest celebrity victim of a deepfake video. A morphed clip of a girl entering a lift wearing a form-fitting black dress with a plunging neckline went viral on social media. While many believed that it was Mandanna because of the morphed face, a few questioned the authenticity of the video due to its glitches and anomalies, and later it was revealed that it was generated using deepfake technology.&nbsp;Even Bollywood legend Amitabh Bachchan called for legal action against the dissemination of the morphed video. The actress herself described the situation as 'extremely scary'.

Katrina Kaif's morphed image has also been doing the rounds on social media. A still from her latest film Tiger 3 has raised further questions about the risks of deepfake technology.&nbsp;The original image depicts the Bollywood star engaged in a fight scene with a Hollywood stuntwoman, both clad in towels. However, the altered version, which has gone viral, shows Kaif wearing a low-cut white bralette and matching bottoms instead of the towel. This image manipulation was executed using AI tools, which can modify and superimpose individuals' faces onto videos and images,&nbsp;resulting in misleading or fabricated content.

A morphed clip of a girl entering a lift wearing a form-fitting black dress with a plunging neckline went viral on social media. While many believed that it was Mandanna because of the morphed face, a few questioned the authenticity of the video due to its glitches and anomalies, and later it was revealed that it was generated using deepfake technology. Even Bollywood legend Amitabh Bachchan called for legal action against the dissemination of the morphed video. The actress herself described the situation as 'extremely scary'. Katrina Kaif's morphed image has also been doing the rounds on social media. A still from her latest film Tiger 3 has raised further questions about the risks of deepfake technology. The original image depicts the Bollywood star engaged in a fight scene with a Hollywood stuntwoman, both clad in towels. However, the altered version, which has gone viral, shows Kaif wearing a low-cut white bralette and matching bottoms instead of the towel. This image manipulation was executed using AI tools, which can modify and superimpose individuals' faces onto videos and images, resulting in misleading or fabricated content.

Explained | What are deepfakes and how to spot them?

Indian Pharmacopoeia Commission (IPC) recently issued a drug safety alert for Mefenamic acid and urged both consumers and healthcare professionals to exercise heightened vigilance concerning the potential adverse drug reaction (ADR) linked to Meftal spas medication, which is often prescribed for conditions such as menstrual cramps and rheumatoid arthritis. According to experts, it can cause an adverse reaction that includes Eosinophilia and Systemic Symptoms (DRESS) syndrome.&nbsp;

To understand it better, WION spoke to some medical experts.&nbsp;Here's what they had to&nbsp;say!

"If necessary, painkillers are generally safe, although any medication can have side effects, albeit rarely. Pills with mefenamic acid composition are usually prescribed or consumed for period pain. Although it is relatively safe it can cause DRESS syndrome in 1 in 10000 exposures," says&nbsp;Dr Meghana Reddy Jetty, Consultant - Obstetrics, Gynaecology and Laparoscopic Surgery, BirthRight by Rainbow Children’s Hospital, Bengaluru.

"DRESS syndrome is a unique and serious response some people have as a reaction to certain medications. It's a bit peculiar because it takes its time to show up. When it does, it brings along a mix of symptoms like fever, skin rash, swollen lymph nodes, and increased eosinophils—those are a type of white blood cell. And it doesn't stop there; it can mess with other parts of the body, too, ranging from mild to pretty severe. Therefore, it is important to consult your doctor before taking pills for period pain,"&nbsp;Dr Meghana states.

What can be the alternatives?

"Home remedies, including certain foods such as ginger, cinnamon, lemon, and dark chocolate, can be beneficial for alleviating period pain. A 2018 study conducted among university students revealed that adopting vegetarian diets and increasing the intake of fruits and vegetables was associated with fewer cramps and decreased menstrual pain," says&nbsp;Dr Meghana. "Additionally, using a hot water bag, engaging in regular exercise, and maintaining proper hydration can help alleviate period cramps. It is advisable to avoid certain substances, including caffeine, carbonated beverages, alcohol, excessively salty and spicy foods, as well as overly oily foods."

Meanwhile, Dr Prathima Reddy, Director &amp; Lead Consultant, Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, SPARSH Hospital, Bengaluru, highlights the importance of&nbsp;shifting away from symptomatic solutions, such as popping pills and moving towards embracing healthier coping mechanisms.

The medical expert says, "It is a concerning fact that the dependence on painkillers among women to manage period pain and headaches is increasing. While these medications offer temporary relief, they may not necessarily address the underlying causes of discomfort and can even pose health risks with long-term use. In today's demanding world, women juggle various responsibilities, often neglecting their well-being. It is crucial to move towards a holistic approach to their health, recognising the unique challenges they face. It is a must to advocate for a shift away from symptomatic solutions, such as popping pills, and towards embracing healthier coping mechanisms."

Dr Prathima adds, "Chronic reliance on painkillers masks underlying issues that may be related to hormonal imbalances, stress, or lifestyle factors. Addressing these root causes through self-care practices, stress management techniques, and mindful approaches is essential for sustainable well-being. Instead of seeking quick fixes, women should prioritise self-care. This includes adopting a healthy diet, exercising regularly, practising mindfulness and relaxation techniques, and prioritising adequate sleep."

WION also spoke to&nbsp;Dr Sandhya Rani, Sr. Consultant - Obstetrics &amp; Gynaecology, Aster Women and Children Hospital, Whitefield, Bengaluru, who emphasised the fact that "painkillers should only be used after consulting a doctor since overuse of painkillers can lead to serious side effects&nbsp;and complications like allergy, gastritis, DRESS syndrome, liver and kidney damage, etc."

"Pain during periods (dysmenorrhea) and headache are the most common causes of absence from school or work in young girls and women. Painkillers are the most often used or abused medication for instant relief of discomfort. It is essential to understand the root cause of pain and treatment rather than resorting to OTC (over-the-counter) medication. However, consultation with a doctor and evaluation of the cause is an important step. Treatment options may range from lifestyle changes to painkillers, hormonal tablets, and injections may be offered. Headaches can be due to stress, migraines, vision defects, premenstrual, sinusitis, and other medical conditions. A thorough evaluation by a doctor is important before popping in painkillers," says Dr&nbsp;Sandhya.

Conclusion&nbsp;

The recent safety alert issued by the Indian Pharmacopoeia Commission regarding Mefenamic acid highlights potential risks associated with commonly prescribed medications like Meftal spas. Medical experts caution about the rare yet severe DRESS syndrome linked to these drugs, emphasising vigilance and consultation before usage.

Exploring alternatives, experts advocate holistic approaches, stressing lifestyle changes, dietary adjustments, and non-medicinal remedies to manage period pain effectively. They stress the need to move away from dependence on symptomatic solutions and promote comprehensive well-being strategies, urging individuals, especially women, to prioritise self-care practices.
