Why divorce should be easy!

Couples come together for a common purpose. They bear children and start parenting them. But at times, they may grow apart and not want to remain a couple. They may want to separate. But society and law often prevents this separation. Because they feel that children might get affected due to the separation. Hence, law has made divorce difficult and asks couples the reason for the separation. They need to show some fault in the partner in order to get legal separation. But this only opens another Pandora's box in which false accusations and blame game begins. This is unhealthy and stressful not only for the couple but also for their children. Divorce of their parents does affect children. It can lead to stress and academic struggles in them. They might suffer severe mental stress and demonstrate behaviour changes in them. They may have anxiety, depression, feeling of guilt and shame and sadness. This may affect them in school and their social circle. They could become an object of r...

 There is a new health warning from the US Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS). It has stated that the raw frozen New Orleans-roasted chicken wings that are imported from China have a false USDA mark of inspection label on them.

FSIS and its new public health warning

The US Department of Agriculture’s FSIS wing has notified the public that it should not purchase the raw frozen New Orleans-roasted chicken wings that are imported from China. It carries a false label of USDA mark of inspection. The concerned authorities have not certified it as safe but it still has the mark on it.

FSIS stated that they have not put in any request for the recall of the product since the product is no longer in the market for purchase. But those who have purchased it and it is in store with them at home should not consume it but report to the nearest branch of FSIS.

FSIS stated that Di-Da Di-Da USA Corp., a business based in Saratoga, California, received the ineligible imported frozen chicken wings from China to the USA and put it up for retail sale.

The labels on the bags read:

“600-gram bags of “Chicken Arrived, Organic Chicken, NEW ORLEANS- ROASTED CHICKEN WINGS”

And the “Best before” date is 09/19/2021 written in Mandarin.

More about this product

FSIS has revealed that the products were shipped to the USA from China and one retail location received it. Later, it was further distributed to 20 retailers in California, Oregon, and Washington. The label has a false USDA mark of inspection bearing “P-40478”. But the stated establishment number does not exist with FSIS and hence is a fake one. Someone has forged it.

FSIS has stated that they discovered the problem when they got a complaint of a product that is suspected to have been illegally imported. FSIS conducted an investigation into this matter and found that the product was ineligible. It was misbranded and the label was a false one.

Until now, there have been no adverse effects reported as regards the product after consumption.

The agency is concerned that some of the products might be in the deep freezers of people waiting to be consumed. But it has warned the people to please check the label and if it is the above-mentioned fake label, then to please discard the product. However, they can call toll-free USDA Meat and Poultry Hotline at 1-888-MPHotline (1-888-674-6854) or do a live chat with the officials via Ask USDA from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. ET Monday through Friday.

Why I decided to not attend Nepal Respiratory society conference 2025?

-
I am a super-specialist doctor. Hence, when I learned about the pulmonology conference in Nepal in September 2025, I thought of attending it since I was there for some other work.  But I ultimately decided against attending the Nepal Respiratory society conference. You will agree that 'the first impression is the last impression'. And my first impression about the conference and organizers, unfortunately, was bad.  Reasons: 1. Incomplete information on internet  No proper directions on internet. There was incomplete and wrong information.  2. No office When anyone makes a medical society or association, it needs to have a proper physical address, phone number, and email id. But this, Nepal respiratory society, lacked all of this.  3. Piecemeal information  Initially, the registration details had no details about registration for international delegates. Later, this was added. But again, there was improper info on it. At one place, the fees was 12k npr and a...

 Covid-19 vaccine has arrived amidst a mixed reaction. These vaccines from Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna are messenger RNA. Another one from German Company CureVac NV is also on its way to be approved. There is more hope in these vaccines beyond control of covid. What are its future benefits? mRNA vaccines and ordinary vaccines Most vaccines are inactivated or attenuated viral parts which induce an immune response in the body that offers protection against the virus. They need cell cultures and chemicals. It is time-consuming with risk of contamination. But in case of mRNA, this process is skipped. Scientists determine which protein they want the host body to produce, analyze its amino acid sequence and see what instructions the mRNA must give. The process is faster and the mRNA is safe genetically.  MRNA and its uses in maladies (Source: Nature) The history of mRNA and its use Research into mRNA began in the 1970s. But somehow after a decade of work on it it fell into the backg...

Loneliness is a growing epidemic especially during this coronavirus pandemic in the USA!

-

  The coronavirus pandemic has increased social segregation and this has proven to be bad particularly for the elderly population. They are unable to catch up with their children and grandchildren and are finding themselves extremely lonely. They are the worst affected by the pandemic in terms of physical as well as emotional health. THE OLD AGE AND LONELINESS Old age is a time of loneliness for many people. Usually, people have lost their partners at that ripe age and depend on their children and grandchildren for support and to beat the loneliness. Though their younger family members used to occasionally visit the parents, now with the coronavirus pandemic this has become difficult due to the risk of the children carrying the infection to their aged parents and grandparents. So the visits have come down drastically and the contact remains only on phone or via digital technology. This though good does not suffice and cannot substitute the physical visits and the warmth that th...
