Posted on July 23, 2022July 23, 2022 by City Today News (City today.media)

A definite destination for treatment of sports injuries Bengaluru , July 23 , 2022 : Sportspersons of the city and other locations now have an integrated place for the treatment of sports injuries at the United Hospital Bangalore . A recent case of treatment for sports injuries is that of Ajay , a young footballer who injured his ankle during one of his football matches . After visiting various doctors , he consulted Dr Pradyumna R , Consultant Orthopaedician at United Hospital .
A magnetic resonance imaging ( MRI ) scan showed damaged cartilage in the ankle . After careful consideration , Dr Pradyumna R decided to do an Autologous Cartilage transplant by Arthroscopy – a minimally invasive surgery ( keyhole ) – to heal the damaged cartilage . This technique was done for the very first time in Karnataka at United Hospital Jayanagar Bangalore .
Dr Pradyumna R said that ” Articular cartilage lesions in the athletic population are observed increasingly , due to limited intrinsic healing capacity , leading to progressive pain and incomplete and improper healing over time . If left untreated , isolated cartilage lesions can lead to progressive chondrogenic loss or the whole cartilage being lost over time ”
Trained in Arthroscopy & Sports Medicine relating to Shoulder , Elbow & Ankle Arthroscopy from the pioneers of the field in Germany , Dr Pradyumna strives to help people regain mobility and lead a healthier life . He is himself a sports enthusiast and loves cycling , playing badminton & swimming in his free time . Professional athletes and sports hobbyists are prone to cartilage damage . This may be due to repetitive action particularly twisting , jumping , and deep knee bends or a sudden traumatic injury like forceful pulling or a direct impact .
Dr. Vikram Siddareddy , Founder & Managing Director of United Hospital explained , ” The technology uses the patient’s own cartilage cells collected from the patient’s joint and this tissue is mixed with the patient’s own protein rich part of the patient’s blood to form a gel – like substance , and this is filled into the defective areas . This develops into the new cartilage in a few weeks thereby and halting the preventing damage in the joints further progression of arthritis in the joints .
With just keyhole surgery the process was carried out for the patient as a single stage procedure . Ajay recovered well and is continuing the exercise and rehabilitation programme . He will be able to play his favourite sport again very soon ” , he further added .
” Recently a great number of sports – related injuries are seen as people renew their sports activities after the COVID pandemic . United Hospital is one of the best – equipped hospitals in Bangalore in terms of infrastructure , equipment , operation theatres , trained staff , management that is forward – looking and dedicated to patient welfare , and India’s first Autologous Cartilage Transplant being conducted here , United Hospital Jayanagar is the destination for sports injury correction ” says Dr Shanthkumar Muruda , Executive Director and Head , Diagnostic and Wellness .
Cartilage defects in the joints are usually treated without any surgical procedure . Prolonged immobilization , rest etc. are the norm in India which prevents people from continuing with their sports activities because of pain , stiffness , and incomplete recovery in the affected joints .
” At United Hospital the best techniques in the world are used to treat all sports related injuries . Autologous Cartilage Transplant is done in a single setting , uses keyhole surgery and is less costly and convenient for the patient as opposed to conventional ACI which needs two different surgeries six weeks apart , ” Dr Muruda added .

The paramount focus for both organisations is to advocate consumer health and food safety.

Today, consumers have access to a plethora of information from various social media platforms with scant regard for authenticity, relevance and use. Studies show that over 71% consumers are likely to make a purchase based on social media referrals than the science behind the product. The pandemic has deeply impacted food consumption habits and made the consumer wanting to learn more about the food. ICMR-NIN and IFBA will jointly conduct webinars, regional workshops etc. to help consumers understand the science behind food consumption for better health.

Together both the esteemed organizations, will make efforts to enhance awareness on importance of nutrition, food processing and food safety to help consumers make informed food choices. Essential aspects like relevance of a balanced diet; consumer perception about food safety; and the impact of the consumption patterns on health; reading and understanding food labels are a few of the key issues that will be highlighted. IFBA will continue to engage with its members to develop healthy and nutritious food products using current Recommended Daily Allowance (RDA) and dietary guidelines for various population groups.

ICMR-NIN is a national premier research institute which has achieved close integration in its research activities between the laboratory, the clinic and the community. Dr. Hemalatha R, Director ICMR-NIN said, “This collaboration will be a right step towards enhancing interactions of the industry with the scientific community to understand the current developments in nutrition science and the priorities of the nation. ICMR-NIN is joining hands with IFBA to disseminate scientific and factual information pan-India to create awareness about the need of diversified diet consisting of good quality, hygienic, safe food.”

Mr. Deepak Jolly, Chairperson, IFBA, said, “We are thrilled about partnering with NIN, which has done pathbreaking research in nutrition & dietetics to protect & safeguard public health. India is a huge and a varied country with a variety of nutritional needs that are region specific. One size does not fit all, therefore making it imperative that people should make informed choices through awareness and education based on Indian studies & research that are relevant for Indian people.”

Both the organisations will jointly work towards achieving the following objectives:

To share knowledge about the scientific studies conducted by NIN and other international credible and scientific institutions on food and nutrition

To create an enabling environment through communication and education for consumers to make informed healthy choices of sustainable and nutritious foods and beverages
To share knowledge on advanced food processing techniques to maintain food safety and nutrient value of the food
