A charitable hospital in the national capital is providing treatment to cancer patients using ayurveda and yoga along with dietary and lifestyle changes.

Ahead of World Cancer Day on February 4, the founder of Ayurvedic Cancer Treatment Hospital, located in West Punjabi Bagh area, said the facility raises awareness on combating the disease and many patients help in spreading its name through word of mouth as well.

"Many patients come to us after having lost all hope in allopathic treatment. We use a four-pronged approach -- lifestyle and food habit changes, ayurvedic medicines and yoga," its founder-president Atul Singhal said.

Asked about the efficacy of ayurvedic medicine on cancer, he said, "Our patients are our biggest testimonies. They feel the benefit and tell it to others, or make videos and post those online."

"For medicine, we use 'panchgavyas', mixture of five products of cow, and we use yoga to aid in recovering.

"We change their lifestyle and food habits and ask them to forego some of them for treatment. So, instead of wheat we tell them to eat barley, black pepper instead of red chilli, jaggery instead of sugar, etc," Singhal said.

The 52-year-old said he started the facility after losing his mother to cancer in 2011.

"My mother battled cancer for three years and finally succumbed to it. So, I wanted to do something about it and I have faith in our ancient medicinal system of ayurveda. So, in 2013, we first started Ayurvedic Cancer Treatment and Research Centre which became Ayurvedic Cancer Treatment Hospital in 2015," he said.

Run by a trust, the 20-bed facility has three permanent 'vaidyas' (doctors) and a staff of about 15 people for other ancillary jobs, Singhal said.

"Irrespective of a patient or his other family's economic status, we offer treatment based on just a token sum of Rs 11,000. If a patient is poor, we ask for less amount or none if they are very poor. Our idea is to keep it a charitable cause and not a commercial one," Singhal said.

The founder of the hospital said, the facility is run under a trust which has 21 trustees, including members from well-known trading families.

"We also get funds from philanthropists and some patients, after treatment, or their family members give some endowment which helps in running the hospital," he said.

Singhal said patients come from all parts of the country, especially from Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, Odisha, and even Jammu and Kashmir. He claimed that some patients also come from abroad.

He said the token sum is applicable for 11 days only, and after that Rs 1,000 is charged per day, as the number of beds are limited beds.

"We are planning to expand and make it a 100-bed facility," Singhal said, adding, two union ministers have visited the facility so far.

World Cancer Day, organised by the Union for International Cancer Control (UICC) and celebrated each year on February 4, is an opportunity to rally the international community to end the injustice of preventable suffering from cancer.

This year's theme, 'We can, I can' acknowledges that everyone has the capacity to address the cancer burden, according to WHO.&nbsp;

Pakistan's former prime minister Nawaz Sharif, who is serving a seven-year jail term over graft charges, <a href="http://www.wionews.com/south-asia/pakistan-former-pm-nawaz-sharif-to-be-shifted-to-hospital-sources-194576">was taken to hospital on Saturday</a>, officials said.

Sharif was transferred from Kot Lakhpat prison in the eastern city of Lahore to a government hospital, where he was undergoing medical tests.

"Nawaz Sharif has been moved to hospital from jail," a senior government official in Lahore told AFP.

Sharif's daughter Maryam Nawaz confirmed the news on Twitter.

Sharif has been facing multiple health issues. He was transferred from jail to hospital last July over an irregular electrocardiogram reading during his first prison term, when a graft court sentenced him to ten years in a case revolving around family properties in London.

He was released in September after another court suspended his sentence pending an appeal hearing -- but was again sentenced to seven years in prison for corruption in a second case.

Sharif has denied all the charges against him and claims he is being targeted by the country's powerful security establishment.

The Supreme Court disqualified Sharif from politics for life over the allegations last year and directed an anti-corruption body to investigate three different charges regarding his family's properties and businesses.

Sharif has been prime minister three times but it has been a rough ride.

He was first expelled from office in 1993 on suspicion of corruption. He won an election in 1997, only to be ousted and exiled after a military coup in 1999.

He returned to Pakistan in 2007 and took power once more in 2013 until his ousting last year.

Shahbaz Sharif, the brother of Nawaz Sharif and opposition leader in the National Assembly, is also facing charges of corruption.

The PML-N party lost the election on July 25 to the rival Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf led by former cricket hero Imran Khan.

One skier died and another was in critical condition on Thursday, hospital employees said, after being caught in an<a href="https://www.google.com/url?q=http://www.wionews.com/world/two-ski-resort-employees-die-in-french-alps-while-setting-avalanche-control-charges-190138&amp;sa=U&amp;ved=0ahUKEwiJ6vbqzPbfAhUSZt4KHZ3sDKEQFggFMAA&amp;client=internal-uds-cse&amp;cx=006054055338965708568:09spwrlibei&amp;usg=AOvVaw0g0ieKt2q_2fndHDwS8NU1"> avalanche</a> on some of the most challenging terrains at Taos Ski Valley in New Mexico, a resort known for its steep runs.

They were skiing down a chute off Kachina Peak, a 12,481-foot (3,804-meter) mountain about 130 miles (210 km) north of Albuquerque, when the avalanche hit at around 11:45 am, said Taos Ski Valley spokesman Chris Stagg.

"There were no others caught in the avalanche, it was just the two," Stagg added.

The ski patrol and other skiers dug the two men out of the avalanche and they were rushed to the hospital, the ski resort said on Facebook.

The first was taken to Holy Cross Hospital in Taos, where he later died of his injuries, said a hospital employee, who asked not to be identified as he was not authorized to speak to media.

Hospital spokeswoman Renee Laughlin declined to comment.

The other skier was airlifted to University of New Mexico Hospital in Albuquerque and was in critical condition, said hospital spokesman Mark Rudi.

"Our thoughts and prayers are with the two individuals who were affected by today’s event and their families," Taos Ski Valley said on its social media page.

Former New Mexico governor and US presidential candidate Gary Johnson were among dozens of skiers who used ten-foot poles in a 45-minute effort to search the snow before the two men were found.

"At least a hundred people were doing what I was doing," said Johnson, who lives in the Taos area, and regularly skis at the resort. "Those guys could have been any one of us."

Johnson and other rescuers spent hours after the rescue checking for another person feared to have been caught in the slide.

In each of the last 10 winters, 27 people have died on average in avalanches in the United States, the Colorado Avalanche Information Center said.

Taos Ski Valley's ski patrol had used explosive devices in the area on Thursday morning to reduce the threat of avalanches, Stagg said.

The rocky "K3" chute the two men were skiing down is accessed off a lift to the top of the peak. The lift was opened for the first time this season on Tuesday, after more than 16 inches of snow fell in the last week.

"It's very steep and challenging terrain," added Stagg. "You like to think it's always safe, but sometimes there are pockets of snow that can avalanche."

"C-section would have facilitated lesser contact with the mother's blood. But the mother developed labour pain and the delivery happened quickly," he said.

The low birth weight baby is being treated in the hospital's neonatal intensive care unit and has been administered medicines for prevention of HIV transmission, the dean said.

A healthy baby weighs between 2.5 kg and 3.5 kg at birth.

HIV screening would be conducted on the 45th day to ascertain whether the child has been infected by the virus, he added.

Last month, the pregnant woman contracted HIV at a government hospital in Sattur in Virudhunagar district allegedly after being transfused contaminated blood supplied by a blood bank.

Following this, the state government ordered an examination of stocks in the state's blood banks.

It was later found that a 19-year old blood donor's infected blood was transfused to the woman. On learning that she had contracted the virus, he consumed rat poison and died on December 30.

Services of three lab technicians of the blood bank attached to the government hospital were terminated.

The incident drew widespread condemnation from opposition parties with the DMK lashing out at the ruling AIADMK, saying it showed how state-run hospitals functioned under the "corrupt government."&nbsp;

Four people were killed and two others critically wounded in a shooting at a Chicago hospital on Monday, and among the dead was the gunman who started shooting in the parking lot and then burst into the medical facility and opened fire, according to local media.

Chicago police officer has died after shooting at the hospital.

Police cars and ambulances swarmed the hospital after the shooting.

ABC7 Chicago and CBS Chicago, citing sources, reported that two people died in the shooting, including the gunman, and that two other people were wounded.

Police searched the hospital, said Anthony Guglielmi, a Chicago Police Department spokesman. The hospital said on Twitter the shooting was over and patients were safe.

Eyewitnesses told reporters the shooting began in the parking lot before moving into a clinic area inside the hospital.

Police have not commented on a possible motive for the shooting.

Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel and police Superintendent Eddie Johnson were on their way to University of Chicago hospital, where the wounded police officer was being treated, according to local media.

The director of the North Korean hospital that treated Otto Warmbier, the US student who died after being held in the country, rejected fresh allegations that he was tortured in custody.

The 22-year-old was jailed in the North for more than a year and was released in a comatose state in 2017 but died shortly after returning home.

The exact cause of his death remains unknown but a recent US media report claimed there was new evidence that he was beaten by the regime.

The director of the Pyongyang Friendship Hospital -- which treated Warmbier -- slammed the claims as a "total distortion of the truth" in a statement carried by the North's official KCNA news agency late Saturday.

"The American doctors who came to the DPRK to help Warmbier's repatriation acknowledged that his health indicators were all normal and submitted a letter of assurance to our hospital," it said, using North Korea's official acronym.

"Now the question is: what is the ulterior motive of those American doctors trying to make a different story at this point in time with regard to the cause of Warmbier's death," the statement added.

The KCNA statement came hours after the Voice of America carried a report on a lawsuit filed by Warmbier's parents accusing the North Korean regime of torturing and murdering their son.

The report cited Warmbier's former dentists saying there was evidence of trauma to his teeth and a neurologist who treated him after his return from detention and said the student suffered "extensive" brain damage.

North Korea has denied torturing Warmbier and claims he contracted botulism in detention.

Warmbier was arrested for stealing a propaganda poster from his hotel during a trip to North Korea and sentenced to 15 years of hard labour.

After lengthy negotiations between Washington and Pyongyang, he was released last year but died in less than a week.

US President Donald Trump accused Pyongyang of brutally abusing the student but later praised the North's leader Kim Jong Un as "very honourable" following a historic summit in Singapore in June.

Rights groups have criticised the rapid diplomatic thaw on the peninsula, saying it has overshadowed widespread human rights abuses rampant in North Korea.

The Kim family has ruled the impoverished, nuclear-armed nation with a pervasive personality cult and stands accused of a litany of state-sanctioned rights abuses including torture, rape, execution and brutal crackdowns on dissent.

Armaan Kohli the former contestant of Bigg Boss has been <a href="http://www.wionews.com/india-news/entertainment-armaan-kohli-accused-of-physically-assaulting-live-in-partner-142253">booked for physically assaulting his girlfriend </a>Neeru Randhawa.

Now more shocking details of their troublesome relationship have come out

Bollywoodlife.com spoke to Neeru and asked her about her relationship with Armaan. &nbsp;

Armaan reportedly never made their relationship official and Neeru did not have a problem with it.&nbsp;

“We were introduced by a common friend and he asked me to work with him. That same year, I came to Mumbai, and soon, we grew closer. A few months later, I moved in with him. Since then, I have been taking care of his work, parents, and brother. We have been seen together at events, but Armaan never made our relationship official. He wanted to keep it under wraps and I didn’t really care about it. He has had a string of relationships where the girls have often accused him of abuse, so I thought he didn’t want to put me out there to be judged. I took care of his house and put up with his bratty attitude.”

She also told how her fights had already started and how ugly they had become since a very long time since Armaan was very short tempered.

“The argument started on a frivolous matter. I manage Armaan’s villa in Goa, which is often rented out, and had made a booking for a client. However, the client had made the payment to the villa staff and when Armaan asked me about the money, I told him that I will ask the staff to transfer it. Suddenly, he started verbally abusing me. Before I realized what was happening, he caught me by my hair and banged my head against the floor. I begged him to allow me to go to the hospital, promising that I wouldn’t approach the police. The wound was so deep that I had to undergo a surgery. The doctor told me that the scar would be visible even after the surgery, as the assault has damaged my skin tissues. He had assaulted me in February this year, and nearly broke my nose.”

She further added that Armaan has been trying to call and apologize to her “Armaan has been sending me text messages since Sunday, asking me to come back home, and he is even promising to marry me right away, but I have had enough!”

This is not the first time Armaan has assaulted her. Neeru revealed that she had left him and gone to Dubai but he pleaded her to come back. 
&nbsp; 
“This relationship has been a huge mistake, but I continued to give him chances despite being warned by friends and family. In fact, I had called time on the relationship in September last year and left for Dubai. I got a job and was living there peacefully. However, three months later, Armaan came to take me back home. When I told him that I didn’t want to get back to the vicious circle, he begged and pleaded with me and said that he would change. He told me that he needs me as I have made him a better person and taken care of his parents and brother. I left everything and returned to India with him.”

This time Armaan's anger had no control and directly landed his girlfriend to the hospital.

A case has been registered under sections 323, 326, 504 and 506 against the actor and the police are on a lookout for Mr. Kohli for further investigation.

An Indonesia hospital in Aceh struggled to treat dozens of burn victims from a fire at an illegal oil well that killed at least 18 on Wednesday (April 25) as they scrambled to collect oil after the well overflowed, authorities said.

Firefighters struggled all day to put out the blaze in the northwestern province of Aceh and were still working as darkness fell.

Dozens of people suffering from burns were taken to hospital in the provincial capital, Banda Aceh, several hours away from where the accident happened.

Pertamina, which has operations in the area, was providing equipment to help fight the fire. At least eight fire trucks had been deployed to try to douse the blaze. The head of police in the area said the fire might have been sparked by a careless smoker.

Flames towered over houses and trees as firefighters hosed down the area while villagers watched, in pictures posted on social media by Sutopo Purwo Nugroho, the spokesman of Indonesia's disaster mitigation agency.

"There was panic among the public because the fire is in a residential area," said Sutopo Purwo Nugroho said.&nbsp

The fire broke out in the east Aceh district in the early hours of Wednesday, after a well of depth 250 metres (820 ft) overflowed and residents gathered to collect the oil, the agency added.

The head of police in east Aceh said the oil well might have been drilled illegally and the fire might have been started when someone was smoking a cigarette.

"This is illegal drilling," said Roberth MV Dumatubun, a spokesman for at PT Pertamina EP, a subsidiary of state oil firm Pertamina.

"It was a well made and managed by the residents there. Incidents like these are likely to happen because they don't pay attention to elements like safety."

Former Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu and AIADMK Chief J Jayalalithaa had refused to go to the hospital after she collapsed in the washroom on September 22, 2016, her aide VK Sasikala told Justice A Arumughaswamy commission, which is probing the death of Amma.

Sasikala narrated what transpired at Jayalalithaa&rsquo;s residence before she was rushed to the hospital.&nbsp;

In the 55-page, 99-paragraph affidavit filed on March 12, Sasikala says Jayalalithaa sought help just after brushing her teeth in the bathroom located on the first floor of her Poes Garden residence, a report said.&nbsp;

Sasikala&rsquo;s relative KS Sivakumar, a doctor, two personal security officers and a driver immediately reached the first floor after being called out for help.&nbsp;

Soon, a call was made to Vijay Kumar Reddy, husband of Apollo Hospitals&rsquo; vice-chairperson Preetha Reddy, after which two ambulances were sent to Poes Garden from Apollo&rsquo;s Greames Road and Teynampet hospitals.

Sasikala said she has made videos of Jayalalithaa with her permission, of which four have been submitted to the Commission.

Sasikala also said senior AIADMK leaders including O Panneerselvam and M Thambidurai met her.

Earlier, both leaders have said they were denied access to Jayalalithaa in her three months in the hospital.

Sasikala, who is serving a four-year jail term for corruption, has also declared that Jayalalithaa regained consciousness in the ambulance en route to the hospital and asked where she was being taken.

Jayalalithaa was unwell on September 22, the day she was hospitalised.

Earlier in the day, Sasikala has said she suggested a visit to the hospital on that very day, but Jayalalithaa had refused to go.

Aruna Shanbaug a victim of sexual assault remained in a vegetative state for&nbsp;about 42 years.&nbsp;

While working as a nurse in a hospital at Mumbai, Aruna was attacked by a ward boy, Sohanlal Bhartha Walmiki in 1973.

Following the incident, she remained in a vegetative state until her death in 2015.&nbsp;

A plea was filed in the Supreme Court by journalist Pinki Virani seeking an euthanasia for her.&nbsp;&nbsp;

The apex court had sought for the medical report of Shanbaug on December 17, 2010.&nbsp;

The court on January 24, 2011, responded to the plea filed by the journalist by setting up a medical panel to examine her.&nbsp;

In March 2011, the apex court legalised passive euthanasia in India.

According to the judgement, the decision to withdraw treatment, nutrition or water establish that the decision to discontinue the life support be taken by parents, spouse or other close relatives or in the absence of them by a &quot;next close friend&quot;. This decision further requires the approval of the High Court.&nbsp;

Aruna Shanbaug was, however, restrained from receiving passive euthanasia as the KEM Hospital where she worked as a nurse and where she was getting her treatment wished that she be allowed to live.&nbsp;

The court declined to consider Journalist friend Pinky Virani, who had filed the petition on behalf of Aruna, as the next friend and instead treated the KEM Hospital staff as the next friend.&nbsp;

She finally&nbsp;died of pneumonia in 2015.

The North Korean soldier who dramatically defected through the demilitarised zone has been captivated by American crime dramas and sci-fi thrillers since he woke up in a South Korean hospital, his doctor said Wednesday.

The 24-year-old soldier, identified only by his surname, Oh, has watched Hollywood hits like robot action flick &quot;Transformers&quot; and forensic whodunnit &quot;CSI&quot;, and can&#39;t get enough of K-Pop.

&quot;We began turning on the television and playing music for him since yesterday&quot; to help with his recovery, doctor Lee Cook-Jong told reporters.

The television remains fixed on a 24-hour movie channel as the local news could upset the patient, Lee said, and added: &quot;He enjoys movies and American TV series like &#39;CSI&#39;.&quot;

Oh made his dash over the border at the Panmunjom truce village on November 13.

After being dragged to safety, he was airlifted to hospital, where he underwent two rounds of emergency surgery.

He has listened to the song &quot;Gee&quot; by South Korean girl group Girls&#39; Generation.

Although Oh shares some interests with his counterparts in the wealthy, capitalist South, there are key differences, said Lee.

&quot;His skin is quite different from South Korean males who are the same age. When I shook his hand, the skin was as hard as a washing board,&quot; Lee said.

Oh is currently drinking only water, but is recovering well, the doctor said, adding he expects his patient to leave intensive care this weekend.

North Korean defector can't get enough of K-Pop

In a horrific incident, a male nurse in Germany allegedly used lethal drugs on patients out of &quot;boredom&quot;&nbsp;which may have taken lives of around 100 patients.&nbsp;

Niel Hoegel, 41, is serving life imprisonment for two murders and four counts of attempted murder for using lethal drugs on intensive-care patients at the Delmenhorst hospital in 2015.&nbsp;

In late August, police had confirmed that Hoegel may have killed at least another 84 patients other than the ones he was serving time for, when Niels Hoegel&#39;s worked as the nurse in two hospitals in Oldenburg and Delmenhorst.

Police further said that they have finished running toxicology tests on other reported 41 fatalities.

According to Independent UK, toxicological examinations uncovered further 16 cases in which he is suspected to have killed patients.&nbsp;

&quot;The insights we were able to gain are terrifying, they surpass what we could have imagined,&quot; said Johann Kuehme, police chief in the city of Oldenburg, where the other hospital is located, reported&nbsp;AFP.&nbsp; 
 
&quot;He cannot remember every case, but in more than 30 he concretely remembered the patients and their&nbsp;behaviour,&quot; said prosecutor Daniela Schiereck-Bohlemann.

Reports have confirmed that Hoegel has admitted to injecting patients with lethal drugs, due to &quot;boredom&quot;, which could potentially lead to heart failure or circulatory collapse and in the process tried to make them come back to life, and if successful, make a &quot;breakthrough revelation&quot;.

Hoegel worked at the Oldenburg hospital from 1999 to 2002 and in Delmenhorst from 2003 to 2005.

Niels Hoegel was convicted of two murders in 2015 but investigators believe he killed at least 90 patients with overdoses of heart medication

In a horrific incident, a male nurse in Germany allegedly used lethal drugs on patients out of "boredom" which may have taken lives of around 100 patients. Niel Hoegel, 41, is serving life imprisonment for two murders and four counts of attempted murder for using lethal drugs on intensive-care patients at the Delmenhorst hospital in 2015. In late August, police had confirmed that Hoegel may have killed at least another 84 patients other than the ones he was serving time for, when Niels Hoegel's worked as the nurse in two hospitals in Oldenburg and Delmenhorst. Police further said that they have finished running toxicology tests on other reported 41 fatalities. According to Independent UK, toxicological examinations uncovered further 16 cases in which he is suspected to have killed patients. "The insights we were able to gain are terrifying, they surpass what we could have imagined," said Johann Kuehme, police chief in the city of Oldenburg, where the other hospital is located, reported AFP. "He cannot remember every case, but in more than 30 he concretely remembered the patients and their behaviour," said prosecutor Daniela Schiereck-Bohlemann. Reports have confirmed that Hoegel has admitted to injecting patients with lethal drugs, due to "boredom", which could potentially lead to heart failure or circulatory collapse and in the process tried to make them come back to life, and if successful, make a "breakthrough revelation". Hoegel worked at the Oldenburg hospital from 1999 to 2002 and in Delmenhorst from 2003 to 2005.

German nurse allegedly killed 100 patients due to 'boredom'

A round of discussion was&nbsp;started when Oscar-winning filmmaker Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy from Pakistan shared a series of tweets addressing the incident of her sister&#39;s visit to&nbsp;a hospital.&nbsp;

It so happened that after Obaid-Chinoy&#39;s sister&#39;s treatment at a hospital in Pakistan, she received a friend request from the doctor on Facebook.&nbsp;

This led to a series of&nbsp;heated tweets by the filmmaker about sexual harassment. She mentioned&nbsp;how &#39;Pakistan has zero boundaries and that the doctors messed with the wrong women in the wrong wrong family&#39; in her tweets.&nbsp;

She further added that she will file a report against the doctor.&nbsp; 
&nbsp; 
Obaid-Chinoy&#39;s portrayal of the Facebook request as &#39;harassment&#39;&nbsp;set off an angry response from many Pakistanis saying that she had overreacted.&nbsp;
