reativity is allowing yourself to make mistakes and Art is knowing

which ones to keep. Every mind is a building filled with archaic

furniture, clean out a corner of your mind and creativity will instantly

fill it.

Creativity is a lot like looking at the world through a kaleidoscope.

You look at a set of elements, the same one everyone sees, but then re-

assemble those floating bits and pieces into an enticing new possibility.

Connecting the seemingly unconnected! And that is exactly what we

have done here. We have put every other piece of art, poem and

experiences into this “Radiance 09-10” and tailored it with a new glow.

Change is the constant, the signal for rebirth, the egg of phoenix.

- Christina Baldwin

This perfectly describes our budding college. The year 2009-2010

was very remarkable as it made significant transitions in our college

history. Our first batch, Sizzling Samurais graduated to CRRIs,Our two

grand inter college cultural Revels’09 and Muthamil Muthiram’09

and Our very first inter college Physiology Quiz Genofet’10 held up our

GVMC’s banner high among the colleges of Tamilnadu. We hope this

Radiance will serve your nostalgia.

We tried to reproduce all the articles but to err is human. We hope

you enjoy this Magazine. Criticisms and suggestions are welcome.

ANNUAL REPORT OF STUDENTS COUNCIL ‘09-’10

The Students Council ‘09’10 was inaugurated on June 19th. The Investiture

was headed by our then Dean Dr.C.Vamsadhara .

The release of College News Bulletin The Plexus made a good start for the

Enthusiastic bunch of the Council. The colourful and glittery inauguration of the

Music Club followed in September with bands of our College and Vellore Institute of

Technology.

The month of September was marked by the much awaited Regatta, our college

sports meet. It turned out to be more than fulfilling to our expectation, with its own

share of excitement. The event was a success. Medicos, we are, the need to make a

difference was pressing. This led to organising a Blood Donation Camp with

around 60 of our friends donating blood, creating awareness and setting example

for others to follow.

For those who thought the medical students had no fun side to them, the

cultural event Revels over 3 days was an Eye opener of sorts with around 35

colleges participating. This was the first event of its kind in our college and was a

grand success from day 1 of its inception and left people wanting for more in future.

Muthamil Muthiram, a tribute to our mother tongue was organised on

December with a host of celebrities attending the function, make it 3 days grand

gala.

At the end we bonded all our happy moments and innovation in this annual

magazine of ours...

““Want a smoke?”asked mohan tosurya asthey sat in thecollege cafeteria,many years ago.

“No,” said surya, but watched facelifted asmohan pulled out a pack of twenty fromhis shirt pocket, lit a cigarette with aflourish, and holding it expertly betweenhis fingers brought it to his mouth andinhaled deeply. There was a deepphilosophical look on his face as his bodyregistered with delight the warmth effectof tobacco smoke filling the lungs.He looked at surya, a look of absolutecontentment, as he slowly exhaled ringsand circles from mouth, nose and ears.Surya watched fascinated at this sheerspectacle of manhood. Several girls wereglancing in his direction and mohanthough totally immersed in the owndream world of smoke pleasure, seemedto enjoy the appreciative looks.

“Hi” said surya, when he met mohan acouple of years later. The pocket ofcigarette was still sitting pretty in hispocket and he looked the very epitome ofgood health. Mohan looked and beckonedat surya to come alongside motioned himto a bench and pulled out a handkerchief(keith) which he cleared his throat.

he lit a cigarette and put his briefcasedown “cant talk much today” he muttered,“I’ve got this throat infection” terribleweather you know, voice is giving me abit of trouble.”

Going Up in Smoke.... “Too much pollution” said surya, as he watched him inhale the smoke.

“Yes” he said rodding at the cars and busses,while surya looked pointedly at hiscigarette, “too much pollution”.

Then surya said “come, lets walk down theroad and have a cup of tea.”

“Walks” exclaimed mohan, looking at himstrangely, “who’s got the energy to walknow a days, come on lets take a cab.

They chatted while having tea and suryafound that he had as a marketingmanager.

“But I’m changing my job soon. Cant take thetraveling anymore, “said mohan drawingin the smoke in his same college style andlooking intently at surya. Office girls at thenext table still ogled the cowboy with acigarette, but mohan was too busy clearinghis threat and coughing to notice theadhering glances.

Mohan soon lift, the new job and the nextclaining bad health and a poor constitutionas an excuse. Surya got a call one day andvisited him at the government cancerhospital, where he lay pathetically thin anddrained out.

Same ward boy had smuggled in a cigarettefor him, strictly against doctor’s orders.The nurse rushed in, smelling deadly fumesMohan inhaled the smoke at looks at the,wondering why she snatched the cigarettefrom his weak, thin hand and threw it outof the window.

14

It was just three lines in the obituarycolumn that told surya the sad news,there wasn’t even a picture of him in thepaper for the girls to swoon over !

Below was an advertisement by a cigarettecompany sponsoring a “made for each other”contact, enticing anotherthousands of mohan’s to go up in smoke !.

Good Bye....

True friends are

hard to find There,

you came into

my life I cherished

the time when

we’re together

And hoped that

it would last

forever.

Now it's the time

to say good bye

Tears of sadness,

keeps falling in my eyes

Life is a journey that needs to be travelled

I am certain you’d make it through.

I just want you to know

that I will surely miss you.

I wish that sometime we’ll meet again

so never forget I'll be praying for you.

- Sangeetha.E ‘06

Medical Jokes....!

We were reallyconfused whiletranscribingmedical audiotapes,a colleague came uponthe following grabled diagnosis.

“ This man has pholen frometry”.Knowing nothin about that particularcondition, she double-checked withsenior doctor.

After listening to the tape, he shookhis head. “This man” he said,translating for her “has fallen from a tree”. A man was already a nervous wreckabout his upcoming surgery.It didn't help matterswhen the admitting nurse asked him,“Have you had a hysterectomy before?”

One crazy day in a paediatric clinic saw aman hand a young patient,a urine sample container and telling himto fill it up in the bathroom.A few minutes later,he returned to nurses's station with anempty bottle.

“ I didn't need this after all” , he said “therewas a toilet in there”.

Friendship Angel....

When I have no one to turn to

And I am feeling kind of low,

When there is no one to talk to

And nowhere I want to go,

I search deep within myself

It is the love inside my heart

That lets me know my Angels are there

Even though we are miles apart.

A smile then appears upon my face

And the sun begins to shine.

I hear a voice, so soft and sweet

Saying, 'Everything will be just fine'

It may seem that I am alone

But I am never by myself at all.

Whenever I need my Angels near

All I have to do is call.

An Angel's love is always true

On that you can depend.

They will always stand behind you

And will always be your friend.

Through darkest hours and brightest days

Our Angel's see us through

They smile when we are happy,

and will cry when we are blue..

Thanks for being my Angel my friend

I will be there for you until the end.

A Peep into Medico's life

.. A peep into life of a medico…………

Before you decide to apply to medicalschool I want you to sit down and thinkabout it twice… and ask yourself thisquestion: Can I handle it? No matter howhard you try predicting what medicalschool is like, you're never going to knowuntil you walk that path and see or feelthat for yourself. It's a lot of pressurewhen you are thrown into a class full ofpeople who are equally smart as you or insome instances even smarter than you(sometimes dumb). After the first yearI realized that it takes so much effort justto pass with decent scores leave alonedistinctions and honours.. I wasn'tenjoying the moment.. in the end I gotwhat I wanted, which was just a pass,but I lost a part of me in return.Learning how to manage your time is a skilleverybody is going to have to learn sooneror later. Medical school is going to makeyou do it if you haven't already done so.

This year I started to take it a little easieron the medicine side of things. I try not tostress myself out too much and just do asmuch as I can without compromising myown entertainment. It just feels good tocome back to hostel and not be immersedin books for hours together. I just hang outwith friends on weekends…and don'treally study each and everyday…yeah itsounds inappropriate for a medicalstudent to roam around but now thatI put it into print people should drop theprejudices about medicos. Seriously, findsomething outside of medicine to keepyourself sane. just admiring the beautyof the mountains around adukkamparai ortalking some nonsense.

I jus enjoy everything…..more than studies,talking consumes much of my energyand time…seriously I don't care about allthis these days… studying aday or two before the internals and jusmanage to get pass marks… .Now that you've had some time to thinkabout whether you can handle being amedical student, I'm going to attempt totell you what's it's like to be a medicalstudent from a second year's point of view.

I have to warn you (and remind myself)that it doesn't get easier from here on in.This year we have op classes in themorning and theory class in theafternoon…pharm, micro, path, forensic…actually u just hav to know anything underthe sun for the viva….it happens thatI know answersfor all the questions that my friends got…poor me…written exams are the oneswhich I love….u hav all the freedom andliberty to write anything for everything…practicals are another nightmares whichsqueeze our adrenal glands so thatnothing remains..Even thoughthis profession demands so much from you…there is a satisfaction which none other profession can give you…I just have this inmy mind always…THIS TOO SHALL PASS…am just enjoying every moment this year….exams are scheduled during feb 2011…I have nothing to worry till December….

As P B shelly said…The trumpet of aprophecy! O Wind,If Winter comes,can Spring be farbehind?

True Joy..

I'll be happy once I've donethis certain thing. We all say this often not realizingwhat it brings. We look only to the future for ourhappiness. Letting Life slips through our fingersin its fullness. Will we really feel completewhen the task is done, or look back and see how we missedso much fun? Self consumed so we can't seeanything else, hurting those we loveas well as ourselves. So many things around us to begrateful for, when seeking for an answerwillingly open the door. So often, others see what's in frontof our face, but we're too blind to look as we'resnared in the race. What is this life supposed to be about? Is it money, fortune, fame, or a big house? When speaking to a man on his dying bed, none of these answers are what he said. Family, love, laughter are what weshould seek. These are the precious things rightoutside your door.

A Dream For You ...

If I could dream The dream I wanted too, I would close my eyes, And dream a dream for you.

I would give you all the world, That you are deserving of, And to you I would give My everlasting love.

I would see to it, That you were never sad. And nothing in your life Would ever happen bad.

I would wish for you, All things would go your way, And you would always be happy, Each and every day.

In my dream You would stay Just as beautiful As you are today.

Life for you would be as perfect As the blueness of the sky, And no one would ever hurt you, Or ever make you cry.

I know it's just a dream, But if dreams could come true, I would close my eyes, And dream a dream for you. .

Fairies ...

The moon ha risen the sunhas gone, The fairiescome out oneby one.The stars light their way through theweary night.They must get prepared for their untimelyflight.The winter has come much too soon.They must flee this night, by the lightof the moon.

The days are cold, the nights just as bad.The fairies have lost what they once had.The warmth of the sun, the breezeof the night,Now they are desperate, fleeing by flight. - M.Rameez Raja 09

Stroke....

Hippocrates, the father of medicine, first recognized stroke over 2,400 years. At this time stroke was called apoplexy, which “struck down by violence” in Greek. This was due to the fact that a person developed sudden paralysis & change in well-being. Physicians had little knowledge of the Anatomy & function of the brain, the cause of stroke, or how to treat it.

Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam’s Address

We are privilegedto re-produce

this address from

Role of healthcare professionals in

societal transformation. Let my brain remove the pain

I am indeed delighted to participate in the

20th Annual Convocation of Tamilnadu

D r M G R M e d i c a l U n i v e r s i t y. M y

c o n g ra t u l a t i o n s to t h e g ra d u a t i n g

students who will be taking up the

responsibility of delivering quality

healthcare to the society. I was going

through the mission of the university

which says that it strives “to create

personnel for health manpower who

will be endowed with a sense of dedication

and a spirit of enquiry and will contribute

substantially to the Alma Mater goals of

health for all by 2020 A.D”. Such focused

approach which envisages an objective

goal of universal healthcare is indeed a

hallmark of a great university led by

visionary leaders of the past and present.

When I am here with healthcare experts

and students, I would like to share my views

on the topic “Role of healthcare

professionals in societal transformation”.

Dear friends when I see you all, first of all

Iwould like to share one experience with you.

When I was teaching in Gatton college of

Business and economics of Lexington in USA,

one of my students asked me, Kalam, you

have done many tasks? Tell us what one task

that gave you the bliss? How to answer? It is

important for me to answer. Let me share

with all of you. When we launched first

indigenous satellite launch vehicle SLV3, it

gave me lot of happiness! When we launched

AGNI, it gave me different kind of happiness!

When me and our team had successfully

tested the nuclear weapon at the 52 degree

centigrade in Pokhran desert, it gave me

great joy! When our team prepared the

Vision 2020 document for transforming the

nation into a developed nation, it gave me a

greatest happiness. But what gave me a bliss!

That is the memorable event which I would

like to share with you now.

During my visit to one of the hospitals in

Hyderabad, I found many children were

struggling to walk with an artificial limb

weighing over 4 kgs. At the request of Prof.

Prasad of NIMS, Head of orthopedic

department at that time, I asked my AGNI

missile friends why we cannot use the

composite material used for AGNI heat

shield for fabricating FROs for polio

affected patients. They immediately said

it is possible. We worked on this project for

some time and came up with a FRO for the

child weighing around 400 gms in place of

4 kg, exactly 1/10th of the weight which the

children were carrying. The doctors helped

us to fit the new light weight FRO on the

children and the children started walking

and running around.

The Radiance Teamhopes these excerpts, will enlighten us to

pursuit high social goals.

Dr.A.P.JAbdul Kalam,Former president of India.

28

Their parents were also present. Tears

rolled down on all of their faces through the

joy of seeing their children running with the

light calipers.

With the light weight device provided by

the hospital they could run, ride a bicycle

and do all sorts of things which they had

been denied for a long time. The removal

of the pain and the freedom attained by the

children gave me a state of bliss which

I never experienced during any other

achievement in my life. My greetings to all

the graduating students.

Dear friends, what will inspire you, since

you are all the graduating students,

particularly when you are entering into your

career, you will like to hear certain inspiring

lives in your healthcare domain. Let me first

discuss about three individual healthcare

professionals known to me, who through

their light of knowledge have been engaged

in transformational societal missions to

remove the pain and sufferings of humanity. I

am sure that the unique life and work of three

healthcare givers will be a beacon of

inspiration for the young graduates.

The first example of a noble healthcare

professional is healthcare giver who left his

foreign job and using the strength of

cooperative movement that led to the birth of

a low cost high quality rural hospital.

Healthcare as a social entrepreneurial

mission

Friends, in February 2010, I visited the

Warana valley of Kolhapur Maharashtra.

There I witnessed, how cooperative

movement by the local farmers and villagers

i s b r i n g i n g o u t a s o c i o - e c o n o m i c

transformation of the people and the region.

The Warana PURA complex has many

initiatives for the income generation and

amenities for about 60,000 families in the

Warana area. One of the initiatives which I

visited was the Mahatma Gandhi Hospital at

New Pargaon at Warana.

The Mahatma Gandhi Hospital was

established by late Shri Tatyasaheb Kore and

his son Dr. Sudhakar Kore, who manages the

hospital now. Dr Sudhakar Kore is an MBBS

and MS in General Surgery. After his

education in 1970, Dr Sudhakar Kore worked

in many famous hospitals of Scotland, UK for

seven years. All this time, the healthcare in

his native village of Warana were lacking and

the local had to go to distant cities of Pune

and Mumbai for even small treatments, Dr.

Kore wanted to do service for his nation and

the people of Warana. Thus, in 1979, he chose

to return to Warana Valley, leaving his foreign

job, to serve local needy. He started his own

hospital in Sangli district along with his

family. With the help of the cooperative

movement, Mahatma Gandhi Charitable

Trust was established in Warana which led to

the birth of Mahatma Gandhi Hospital. This

not-for-profit hospital was established on

2nd October 1992. The Mahatma Gandhi

hospital is a 225 bedded hospital with 2

medical sub-centres of 25 beds each located

about 10 kilometers from the base hospital.

Today, this hospital has an area of

110,000 square feet and built over an area of

27 acres.

29

It has four operations theatres for

providing modern surgery facility to the

population within Warana. The Mahatma

Gandhi Hospital and its extension healthcare

centre are offering various healthcare

faci l i t ies l ike medicine , surgeries ,

orthopedics , obstetrics , pediatrics ,

ophthalmology, ENT, pathology and

radiology at affordable cost and even free to

the needy. Dr Sudhakar Kore is an example of

how educated and talented doctors with

spirit of social entrepreneurship and with

the help of a cooperative movement can

bring about a transformation in the

healthcare for people living in an area of poor

accessibility. The doctors and healthcare

professionals graduating today may like to

think on how they can apply their knowledge

in an entrepreneurial way for achieve a great

societal mission.

Now let me talk about a great healthcare

giver whose mission has been to bring the

light of vision to the lives of millions.

Lead Kindly Light

I have known Late Dr. Venkatasamy for

over three decades. He is known for his silent

contribution and bringing light to thousands

of people. All his life, he has worked for total

elimination of avoidable blindness. He has

brought with the Aravind Eye Hospital, the

best of technology and management. He has

established a network of Aravind Hospitals

and also the mobile clinics. He has created

many leaders in the field, who are spread in

various parts of the world. Whichever eye

hospital I visited in India, I met a number of

people, who had been trained by Dr.

Venkatasamy’s institutions.

It was amazing to see how even in his

eighties he was radiating enthusiasm and

perseverance for realizing his vision.

Dr Venkatswamy championed the

community ophthalmology service in

Tamilnadu and surrounding region. This was

at a time when there was tremendous

amount of cataract back log, and there were

not enough specialists. Using a systematic

approach to mass screening and surgery he

infused both science and discipline to mass

surgical eye camp. The mass movement for

treatment of cataract shifted from

improvised operating rooms to hospital

operating room facilities. Aravind has

s u c c e s s f u l ly i n te g ra te d t h e i r c o re

competence of community ophthalmology

with modern medical treatment and

research.

Dr Venkataswamy implemented his

principle that the Aravind hospital must

provide services to reach rich and poor alike,

yet the eye care facility must be financially

self-supporting. The entire Aravind Eye care

system is conducting on an average 800 eye

surgeries per day and annually treat over 2.5

million patients. They are providing for every

30 paid patients, free treatment for 70

patients who cannot afford. This principle is

achieved through high quality, large volume

care and a well-organized system.

Aravind has grown into five hospitals

with nearly 3,600 beds and 26 vision centres

spread in different parts of Tamilnadu

particularly in rural areas. The important

aspect of Aravind system is that the

productivity per ophthalmic specialists is 5

times that of national productivity.

30

Arvind has contributed in a big way to

reduce the avoidable blindness in the

country.

The life of Dr. Venkataswamy gives the

message to all of us and particularly the

a s p i r i n g m e d i c a l g r a d u a t e s , h o w

commitment to a vision can make missions

happen.

Now let me talk about a healthcare

professional who had been instrumental in

bringing healthcare to unreached people in a

remote region in southern India.

Reaching the Unreached

In the present circumstances and

environment, it was inspiring to see, how a

MBBS doctor has put all his dreams in

mainstreaming the tribal citizens of

Karnataka for the last 25 years through

Vivekananda Girijana Kalyan Kendra

(VGKK), at BR Hills. When I visited BR Hills in

1998 and subsequently in 2006, I could see

substantial new developments in that area. I

could see that “New Tribal Hospital”, Roads

and education environment and above all the

earning capacity of the tribal citizens have

been increased with the technology resource

centre as a base. Dr. H. Sudarshan, is the

inspiring architect of this societal

transformation.

Dr. Sudarshan’s father died in a village

without any medical help when he was just

twelve. This event followed by his reading

the biography of Dr. Albert Schweitzer who

worked in Africa motivated Dr. Sudarshan to

take up medical profession and work in tribal

areas in India.

Dr. Sudarshan derives his philosophy of

work from Swami Vivekananda’s teachings

which states “they alone live who live for

others, rest are more dead than alive”.

Dr. Sudarshan starts his day at 4.30 am in

the morning with Yoga, meditation and

prayer with tribal school children. From 9 am

to 1pm, he goes around the ward and sees the

patients individually. He has lunch with the

tribal students between 1 and 2 pm in the

afternoon. Later till 7 pm, he is busy in the

clinic where he conducts surgeries and visits

tribal complex. Later, he has dinner with the

tribal students. He devotes one hour for

study between 9 and 10 pm, so that he gets

updated information about medical systems.

He spends large part of his time in Clinical

Diagnosis, Laboratory diagnosis and

treatment, in addition to Supervising,

Monitoring, teaching and carrying out

research along with his team members.

Dr. Sudarshan pays particular attention

to the special problems of the tribals such as

Snake bite cases, Mauling by bears,

Pneumonia, Tuberculosis and Acute

Respiratory Infections. The Soliga tribal

people suffer from Sickle Cell Anemia and Dr.

Sudarshan has developed a low cost

electrophoresis machine for diagnosing the

disease. He has also built the healthcare

system on the strengths of traditional

knowledge available in the tribal areas. The

secret of his service is that he is empowering

the people to manage their own health

through the provision of knowledge. He has

trained tribal girls as Auxiliary Nurse &

Midwife (ANM) and posted them in the Tribal

Sub-centers.

31

These nurses undergo 18 months course.

Thus the rural area is self-sufficient in

nursing resource. He has also developed low

cost management system for Epilepsy in the

Primary Healthcare Centre (PHC). He has

introduced Dental Healthcare and Cancer

Control in the PHC. He is providing quality

healthcare to the people by the introduction

of low premium health insurance for all the

people living below poverty line. He suggests

that medical colleges should teach their

students to develop sensitivity to the

suffering of the patients. They also need to

modify the treatment approach for the poor

who cannot afford costly treatment. The aim

of the medical education should be to

facilitate application of medical technology

for providing best care to the poor at the

most affordable cost. Dr. Sudarshan says ‘the

greatest joy, he experienced was when he

resuscitated a patient whose lungs and heart

had stopped and when he sees the smile on

the face of poor patients who come to the

hospital with blindness (cataract in both

eyes) and walk out with full vision after the

cataract surgery. Country needs thousands of

Dr. Sudarshans for providing healthcare to

our rural citizens.

Dear friends, what did you learn from

these three inspiring lives? One Doctor who

left his money spinning foreign job came

down to village and created an innovative

cooperative movement leading to the birth of

a low cost high quality rural hospital, another

Doctor who grown up in a rural environment

with a value system inspired by his father as a

role model gave the world an innovative eye

care system to remove the avoidable

blindness; the other doctor who has taken up

the tribal healthcare system as his mission

and created an innovative healthcare model

in the rural setup. The message is if you have

a great vision, that dream will not allow you

to sleep but will keep you awake till you

achieve that mission. I hope every one of you

will set a great vision in your career.

Let me give some of the innovation in

healthcare research leading to solutions for

the diseases which were almost incurable so

far.

Innovative Cancer Vaccine Development

In April 2010, while in Louisville in USA, I

met researchers from Brown Cancer

Research Center who are developing a

vaccine for cervical cancer which affects

many women in the nation. A World Health

Organisation study reveals that every year

132,000 women are diagnosed with this

particular kind of cancer and nearly 75,000

die from the disease. The proposed vaccine

would be developed on protein drawn out of

tobacco leaves and would cost nearly $2 for

every individual. I am sure, the healthcare

community assembled here would like to

take up development in such areas of societal

importance.

Since all of you are now going to engage in

your mission to be the future leaders of

healthcare, let me now discuss with you a

unique hospital which I saw in Lexington

USA.

University of Kentucky Healthcare Centre

Friends, in the last month, I was in USA for

some teaching assignments at various

universities and other programmes.

32

On 15 of April 2010, I visited the University of Kentucky Healthcare centre which is a one billion dollar hospital with the best of healthcare of all kinds for the people of the state of Kentucky.

Dr. Michael Karf, the chief designer of the whole hospital, showed me around the under construction building. Dr. Karf introduced the hospital to me as “a visionary healthcare center of the 21st century”. I observed, how the grand hospital was more than a symbol of the best medicare technology, it carried a message of compassion for the patients of all ages and conveyed hope to the ailing heart and brought smile to the sad faces. The hospital, of course had the best medical equipments, but it was also aesthetically designed with large windows, beautiful atrium decorated with beautiful paintings and games for children. The patient when he or she enters the hospital, gets a message of confidence “I will be healed”. At the same time, while the hospital was state of art, it still provided for further space for later technological advancement by having high ceilings and wide doors. Why I am saying this, is because some innovative doctors will come out of this gathering and will be pioneering unique healthcare centers which bring together medicine and compassion.

Six virtues of a healthcare giver

When I am with the healthcare community, I would like to share an experience with Choakyi Nyima Rinpoche, the Chief Monk in Kathmandu and a medical researcher. After nearly a kilometer of walk, I reached the white Kumbha where the chief Monk and his disciples were waiting to receive me.

After reception the Chief Monk said, let us

go to our study room and I followed him. He

climbed the first floor, the second floor, the

third floor, the four floor and the fifth floor,

just like a young boy. Probably the life style

has a positive impact on the mind and body.

All along I was following and following. When

I reached his chamber, I saw a laboratory and

a spiritual environment over looking the

Himalayas. What surprised me was, his

research students come from different part

of the country. Particularly he introduced me

to his co-author David R Shlim, MD who is

working on a research area, Medicine and

Compassion. The Chief Monk Choakyi Nyima

Rinpoche and myself exchanged few books.

The Monk has written with Dr. David R. Shlim

a book titled “Medicine and Compassion”. I

liked this book and read it during my journey

from Kathmandu to Delhi. This book gives six

important virtues which a medical

practitioner has to possess towards their

patients.

First virtue is generosity; the second

virtue is pure ethics; third is tolerance, fourth

is perseverance, fifth is cultivating pure

concentration and the sixth virtue is to be

intelligent. These virtues will empower the

care givers with a humane heart. I am sure;

all the young students graduating today from

Tamilnadu Dr MGR Medical University will

inculcate these values.

Dear friends, Today before you go to bed,

take a paper and write this question, “What I

will be remembered for?”. Will I be

remembered as one of the great doctors of

the nation in a particular field, or will I

remembered as a pioneer in creating unique

healthcare center bring brings a confluence

of compassion and medicine, or will I be

33

remembered as a pioneering life scientist for

discovering vaccines against HIV, malaria or

cancer, or will I be remembered as a great

doctor who went to the villages and changed

the healthcare system for a million people. If

you are able to write an answer for this

question in a page, who knows that page may

be one of the pages the posterity will ever

keep referring in the years to come.

Dear young doctor friends, graduating

today is a beautiful event of the journey of

your life. The real destination of you life, will

transpire, when you ask a question what I

will be remembered for?.

Once again congratulate the Graduating

Students. My best wishes to all of you for

delivering the best of healthcare to everyone

through knowledge, hard work and integrity.

May God Bless you.

The chief expert of Ajay is pain. Count from1 to 5. That is the time taken by Ajay tokill you...............58 times.

Ajay doesn't wear a watch. He decideswhat time it is. Faster than a speeding bullet,more powerful than a tanker, able to leaptall buildings in a single bound.........Oh yeah!These are some of Ajay's warmup exercises.Only Ajay can divide by zero. With the risingcost of gasoline, Ajay is beginning to worryabout his drinking habits, Ajay once ate anentire bottle of sleeping pills. They madehim blink.

If you were somehow able to land a punchon Ajay, your entire arm would shatter uponimpact. This is only in theory. Since come on,who in the right mind would try it.Ajay once kicked a horse in the chin.Its descendents are known today as Giraffes.

Ajay can set ants on fire with a magnifyingglass,................ at night.

Remember the Soviet Union? They decidedto quit often watching 'aruvi' in illaignar TV.

When Ajay goes to donate blood,he declines the syringe. Instead he asksfor a hand-gun and a bucket.

Industrial growth is not the cause fordeforestation. Ajay actually needstooth-picks.

Ajay is the reason why Osama is hiding.Ajay had to stop washing his clothes in theocean, as the tsunamis were killing people.Ajay actually built the soccer city stadiumin Johnnesburg in just 2 days.

Syphilis....

Debate about the origin of syphilis has continued for nearly 500 yrs, even since early 16th century Europeans blamed each other, referring it variously as the venetian, Naples, of French disease. One hypothesis assumes a new world origin, and holds that sailors who accompanied Columbus & other explorers brought the disease back to Europe. Another Explanation is that syphilis was always present in the old world was not identified as a separate disease from leprosy by about A.D 1500. A 3rd possibility is that syphilis developed in both hemispheres from the related diseases bejel & yaws. New studies by paleopathologists bruce & Rothchild favour a new world origin.

Measles....

The earliest mention of measles may be the plague of Athens of 430BC described by Thucydides. By 14th century most of the people in Europe & Asia were immune to it. The worst measles plague was when European traders & Explorers gave measles to the people of North & S.America in the 1500 AD. Because this was a disease which nobody in America had ever had resistance, it ended up by killing 9 out of every 10 people there.

Thermometer....

The first thermometers were

called thermoscopes & while

several inventors invented a

version of the thermoscope at the

same time, Italian inventor santorio.

Santorio was the Ist inventor to put a

numerical scale on the instrument.

Galileo Galilei invented a rudimentary

water thermometer. Ultimately the

mercury thermometer was invented by

Gabriel Farenheit.

Stethoscope....

The stethoscope was invented in France by Rene Laennec. It consisted of a wooden tube & was monoaural. His device was similar to the common ear trumpet, a historical form of hearing aid. It was only in 1851 when Bioaural steth came into existence.

Self Justification - Main CauseFor Repeated Mistakes...

All of us make mistakes whether at

work or in life and experience the pain

and disappointment. Though we vow to

learn from the mistakes, most of the

times we find ourselves making more

mistakes (or) repeating the same ones.

We may generalise that human beings are

fallible and wish we knew how to avoid

repeating mistakes. Surprisingly there are

simple ways to do this,If we try.

Some of us are prone to believe that we

keep making the same mistakes

because of a personality flaw.

This is used to explain the behaviour (or)

the reason why we cannot get over

the habit. It is attributed to character

and we stereotype ourselves or others

as either careless, selfish person based

on the mistakes. We often get trapped

in this personality definitions and find

it difficult to rid by doctor. Some adopt

defeatist attitude and claim that they

cannot get over their flaws because of

their fate, bad luck, or a personality fault.

Those successful in getting over and

learning from their mistakes, accept

their responsibility for them and make

efforts to change and give the credit to

themselves when they succeed.

The secret behind this is to realise

ourselves of this behaviour. If one

realises this, then one can either modify

them or avoid them. Some of the

common behaviour includes.

1. Self justification

2. Blame game

3. Hasty decisions

4. Impulsive decisions

5. Generalisation

Trying to explain each of it, it might take

too many papers. I think the first 4 are

easy to understand. About generalisation,

it refers the problems or the situations

which appears over -generalised or

simplified which makes it difficult to

arrive at the right solution.

I think, these triggers that cause us to

make mistakes, can be overcome with

effort, awareness and self discipline.

Overcoming

these triggers

can help us in

our endeavour

to make a better

professional

and individual.

Mental Disorders....

Mental disorders were treated mainly under traditional Chinese medicine by herbs, acupuncture or “emotional therapy”. The inner canon of the yellow emperor described symptoms, mechanisms & therapies for mental illness, emphasizing connections b/w bodily organs & emotions. Conditions were thought to comprise 5 stages of elements & imbalance b/w Yin & Yang. It seems Pythagoras also heard voices a kind of hallucinations. Playwrights such as Homes & Euripides described madmen driven insane by the gods, imbalanced circumstances. But Aristotle abandoned the divinely caused mental illness theory & proposed instead that all mental illness was caused by physical problems.

Hello humans! I am your old "friend" - the

world's toughest creature - The cockroach. I

know you all are disgusted on hearing my

name but guys I have lived for many more

years than you. Well you see it's not easy to

live with so many odds against you.

My day begins with sunrise- COZ that's the

time you invade my territory to discard your

(I hope you understand) I, along with my

friends have to run away to seek shelter. But

wherever I go humans are after my blood

Soon I feel hungry, so I stop at any nearby

anthill to have a few ants for breakfast.

10 AM - Office time-Office? - It's in a crack

in the nearby kitchen door. Office means

work and work means meetings.

Agenda of meetings - How to fight crimes

against cockroachanity? Some fried flies

along with chilled ant juice makes a perfect

setting for great cockroaches to sit and think.

The meeting is dismissed with the decision to

set up a committee (Same as human

meetings is isn't it?) 5 PM-Evening-time, time

to enjoy, time to go out on a date (So you guys

thought only you could have fun!). Folks

we're very lucky, God made us small but gave

us 13 hearts .

Lover's paradise - a human shoe. What a

place man! No one to disturb you - Oh! I am

sorry, you people cannot give some freedom

to two lovely souls. Well ! the date ends with

dinner of shoe soles and kitchen water on the

rocks.

Night soon sets in and like all tired souls I

go back to my 'home sweat home' the same

old crack in the wall - the place where I have

lived for years and seen the rise and fall of

human civilization.

A Day in the Life of

'Periplanata americana'

(revise, you biology guys!)....

TB Sculpture....

The permanent collection

of the American visionary Art

museum includes a life-size

applewood sculpture of a human with

a sunken chest depicting TB which is the

only known work by a patient in an

English asylum who died of TB in the

1950s. TB also finds a mention in the

Samurai Series of video games in

which a character is depicted to be

coughing out blood- a symptom of TB,

in-order to heal himself of his illness,

he seeks the ultimate flower & gives it

to his final lover & dies of the illness.

I am going to be a doctor. I am a med

student. 1st August was my first day in

medical college. I walked to college and on

the way passed one of those huge metal

garbage trolleys (sprinkled here and there in

this city by the Municipal Corporation ) filled

to the brim with just that - garbage from the

colony nearby. I did not particularly want to

study medicine - to be honest I didn't want to

be a doctor at all. You see I don't like doctors -

at least I do not like most of the ones I have

met. I just wanted to prove to myself and

others that I am not a total jackass- that I can

clear competitions, and work hard etc.- and

anyway I have to work - get a job don't I?

In college we are welcomed and we are

ragged. In one of the introductory lectures

one doctor tells us that the Government

spends 10 lakhs on each one of us before we

are professionally qualified and hence we

have a certain responsibility, a particular

duty to serve the country the best we can.

Impressive isn't it - both the amount and the

lecture. But big deal ! And I don't really take

all that in seriously. But I do have dreams-of

being a terrific doctor -earning money.

First Lesson... Next day en route to college I see a man

eating rice, taken from the garbage trolleys.

The street is his plate. He is emaciated - I can

see the bones under the dark skin. And I think

- God why bring a human being to such

depths of degradation where he forages for

food like a street dog.

That day we go to the dissection hall - the

place where we shall learn the anatomy of

human beings. The cadavers are lying on the

table. `Cadavers' makes it sound so sage and

object like, whereas it is actually so gruesome

- these are naked embalmed bodies of people

who are dead now - who once lived and

walked among us but today lie on the

dissection table because they were

unclaimed on death. Some people joke about

it , but somehow I don't feel like laughing. I

am not fainting either, just trying to be

indifferent. On the way back I notice the man

again. He is sleeping. I notice sores on his

body and I wonder if one day he will be a

cadaver. You will say I am quite cruel and

brutal, thinking about a living person like

that, but perhaps med. college is getting into

me.

I also see a group of three-four people

huddled close together. One of them has a

chit of paper on the palm of his hand and he

brings it close to the nose of another who

with a small tube like thing sniffs it. I wonder

if the sleeping man can be helped in any way?

If some of his dirty, starved bedraggled

companions, who were taking drugs, will

ever be able to live the life of a decent human

being like you and I, with clothes on our back

and food in our stomach and a place for

shelter? And so I think of some of the

responsibilities that I have.

42

Not to my parents, my family or my

friends, not to the society or the Government,

but essentially to God and to humanity. I have

not suddenly become idealistic. No way ! I

don't stop thinking about the things I want

from life. I don't suddenly decide to change

all my plans and serve people in some

Godforsaken place and I still do think about

the money I shall earn. But I feel that today I

have learnt something-something which I

hope shall help me on my way to be a good

doctor.

Sounds cliched, perhaps but I still feel it's

true. - S.Praveen ‘09

Plague-Biological Warfare....

The “Black death”

which swept through Europe &

other countries killing an estimated

1 quarter of their population, was based

on a memoir by an Italian Gabriele who

stated that Black death might have

reached Europe through Biological

The Four-Year Old Itch....

This insipid effort as an amateur poet is afeeble attempt to encapsulate the dilemmafaced by a final year MBBS student, whocan't make up his mind on whether to "livelife to the lees" (my sincerest apologies toJames Joyce) or to drown himself in studies.Here goes...

Comes the 12-1 lecture, and I amthoroughly disgusted,It seems as if my cerebral hemispheres havebeen busted;Our dear professors are the best,Whenever it comes to bewildering themind first;On they go about their accomplishments,Never paying heed to our predicament;Overdone gesticulations and histrionics galore,Always fail to dispel the fact that they are abig bore;God take me back to the time,When biological cramming held neitherreason nor rhyme;When Physics numericals and Chemistryequations hadus by the neck,But when compared to THIS monstrosity, they were but a small speck;Now I am at my wit's end,Trying to fathom what and how I cancomprehendToday, as I frequent theatres withunconcealed glee,There always hangs the Damocles'sword of a supplee; As I look up to the masters of this "noble" profession,I realize I have to make a candid confession;Whenever I gaze at an eminent urologist orcardiologist,I get the portentous feeling I'll fare no betterthan being a philologist;

Sometimes, I dismiss these thoughts asbeing borne by youthful truancy,But then again - truancy could hardly be analibi for lunacy;

A lunatic asylum, the best in the state, Would suit me, not as a doctor but as aninmate;My psychiatric future looks a bit hazy, But what the hell! All docs must be crazy!

- Sarayu Gayathri.R ‘06

Pain Management....

The earliest method to

relieve the patient’s pain was

through the judicious use of opium.

Though the introduction of surgical

anaesthesia was a landmark, it did have

many problems because the religious

writers called anaesthesia “ a violation

of God’s law” because they thought

pain strengthened the faith & taught the

new mother the need for self-sacrifice

for her children.

Diabetes is one disease, which is ancient yet not understood completely. Since 300B.C there is some research going on in this field and always there is a new knowledge unrevealed. The latest in the field….

A New Concept – Metabolic Memory

This concept was confirmed by a study called United Kingdom Prospective Diabetic Study which clearly expressed the intensive control of blood sugar and blood pressure in Type 2 Diabetes reduced the development of micro and macro vascular complications. Ten years of study and follow up revels that initial and intensive control will benefit lesser incidence of complications in-spite of loosing control after the initial good control.

So, in both Type 1 & Type 2 Diabetes, the early glycemic environment is remembered in the target organs, ie Eyes, Kidney, Heart and Extremities.

Hyperglycemia by producing oxidative stress and advanced Glycation end products alters mitochondrial function.

Mitochondria plays important role in propagating metabolic memory.

A New Test

Dietary polyol 1,5 anhydro glucitol(1,5 AG)has been proposed as a marker for post prandial hyperglycemia. Normal level of 1,5 AG is 20-24 mcg/ml. It is filtered in the kidneys and completely reabsorbed.

In hyperglycemia, there is low serum 1,5 AG due to competitive inhibition of renal tubular re-absorption by glucose.

A New Drug

Sodium glucose co-transporters are large family of membrane proteins involved in the transport of glucose, amino acids, vitamins across the brush border membrane of the intestinal epithelium and the proximal renal tubule.

SGLUT 2 Inhibitors DAPAGLIFLOZIN&REMOGLIFLOZIN are under trail to inhibit glucose and sodium absorption from the kidney. The common adverse effects observed is urinary tract infection(5-11%) probably because of glycosuria, in-spite of lowering blood glucose. - Dr.GO.BHARANI, Dip in Diab, MD, Dept of Medicine

THE RADIANCE 09-10

THE STORY OF

We initiated the works of making our Annual Magazine, in the beginning of

march, well after our exams (they too are of some importance, in our busy college

life!!!). Having the faintest idea of what are sponsors and how do we approach them, a

month passed away with just pennies jingling in our collection (kai sellavuke

pathala!)

In the beginning of April, some doctors and health related professionals around

Vellore gave hope to proceed with steadiness. ManiKantan.A.R, Vinoth Kumar,

Rubesh Kumar, Shripathi Tripati & Nikhil Jain’07 deserve a mention in this early

phase. We roamed so much that sentimentally certain seats in the town buses in the

town buses could predict the outcome of sponsor, we met soon after. My To-do-notes

in mobile never scaled down and soon the weary days followed and swallowed up the

fun we had.

During the weary days, we turned to the editorial side. The article bank was

pitifully empty during the first few weeks and to the happiness of the editorial board,

it gradually overflowed. Yet, we sincerely apologize that we might have missed certain

articles in the due course. Sathya, Gowrilakshmi ’08, Sona Priyadarshini ‘07 and

G.Boomika, Sandhya, Nivetha.S, Bhuvaneshwari ’09 typed and arranged the

contents.

Back to sponsors...May holidays proved nothing worth in Chennai (Of-course, a

thorough Knowledge of Chennai in and around). We had actually no hope , when we

meet a sponsor, which unexpectedly turned out to be our major sponsor. And there

was another instance, a much awaited well wisher de-routed to a half pg Ad. Its

Kavitha, Sowmiya, ShaliniPriya’08 to mention here. A major contribution in

collection of sponsors in Vellore & Chennai was by KarthikSaravanan, Srinivasan &

Thirumaran ’08.

When a new touch was needed deseparately, Martina Shalini & Nithiya’06 came

up with innovation. Gayathri, Arshiya and Krithika’06 did timely and sensible help.

Vandhana and Nithya’07 contributed tit bits on evolution of medicine and diseases.

Dinesh, Mohanakrishnan, Satish, Venkatesh, VinoBarathi, and Prasad’06

did support THE RADIANCE.

Finally I’m indebted to my Parents for supporting me and my room-mates(Sun

and Ratts) for bearing with me...

What Life Is...

One day a farmer's donkey fell down intoa well. The animal cried piteously for hoursas the farmer tried to figure out what to do.Finally, he decided the animal was old, andthe well needed to be covered up anyway;it just wasn't worth it to retrieve the donkey.He invited all his neighbors to come overand help him. They all grabbed a shoveland began shovel dirt into the well.At first, the donkey realized what washappening and cried horribly. Then,to everyone's amazement he quieted down.A few shovel loads later, the farmer finallylooked down the well. He was astonishedat what he saw.With each shovel of dirtthat hit his back, the donkey was doingsomething amazing.He would shake it offand take a step up.As the farmer'sneighbors continued to shovel dirt on topof the animal, he would shake it off andtake a step up. Pretty soon, everyone wasamazed as the donkey stepped up over theedge of the well and happily trotted off!

Life is going to shovel dirt on you, all kindsof dirt. The trick to getting out of the wellis to shake it off and take a step up.

Each of our troubles is a stepping stone.We can get out of the deepest wells just bynot stopping, never giving up! Shake it offand take a step up.

The Answer To Our Life

Remember those dayswhen we were in tinylittle uniforms??!All we had to worryabout as how to makeeach passing momentmore enjoyable –inventing silly games,facing petty fightswith friends but when the night comesand you look back, it would have been oneexciting day. Finding joy in the most meagrethings - That was school! And in those days,each one of us would have faced that singlequestion “what would you like to be in thefuture?” and i m sure like me most of youwould’ve replied the same. With eyes fullof pride, “i wanna be a doctor and serve mycountry!”

But this column is for those who look back andwish that they could’ve chosen a different answerright now. There are several questions that comeup in your mind when you are made to facedesperation. Not all can manage to find theright answers. But one thing which answerseverything right is TIME. Time changeseverything – your thoughts, your lifestyle, yourlikings and sometimes with it, your ambition.Likewise i chose to change my ambition ofbecoming a doctor to an engineer, because Ithought that way life would be more simple nothaving to choose between family and patientsall the time.

But you know how God works??!

It’s crazy, how sometimes, gifts can become aburden. This ‘gift-wrapped’ burden for mewas that i could CHOOSE to be an engineer as‘I’ wanted or a doctor as ‘my father’ wanted.

My dad being a doctor was proud of thethought that his child could become one ofhis kind too. That was the first time in my17yrs that i saw a magical glow full of pridein his face - something which no amount ofmoney or even family time together was everable to conjure. And i couldn’t bring myselfto put off that glow.

So there i was, sitting in a medical college.It took me a few months to realise that I wasnot liking it and even worse, not even tryingto like it. That had me held down as a veryaverage student here. I don’t think any of ushere is used to being at the bottom of thetable when it comes to performances.That had me going - A burning desire to getthrough in the most deserving way. And thekey to it is to ‘work hard’. It is never too late,u know. Still something was missing andeach time I just managed to only scrapethrough. So Hard work alone was not enough.I kept thinking what went wrong but neverreally found the answer.

And just when things couldn’t get any worse,I was facing everyone of us’s nightmare -THE FINAL YEAR!!! To get past it, I knewall I had was God and my hard work. And Iwas right. They helped me. I passed myfinal year in college. But there was a smallpart of me saying that this was just anotherscrape through too. All the same I was happythat I passed. Just then I saw dad and told himthat I passed. It was then that I found all theanswers. Words are not enough to expresswhat I saw.

Those two words had him jumpingsky high. And there it was again - the nowfamiliar magical glow on his face. All I coulddo was stare at him dumbstruck. I should’vegiven him better.

54

Just then I realised that all along I had beendoing things with a faint thought that it wasjust for my dad’s sake in my mind. Whatwas missing was the love for the subject-something which my dad had and I didn’t.But I love my dad and right then I knew thathe deserves better. Like I said, it’s never toolate.

You can learn to love what you do. Andright now I LOVE BEING A DOCTOR.And I will give him better in the future.

Life is all about making choices. Good or bad – we always have choices.

“THE TRICK IS TO LOVE WHAT YOU CHOOSE”.

I chose to make my dad happy and that hasmade me happy. The most beautiful thing inlife is to see your parents smile. And even morebeautiful is to know that You are the reasonbehind that smile.So, choose wisely and find out the real answerto your life.

Good luck!!

Crazy girls....

1. If u think a girl is beautiful, she'll always have a boyfriend To confirm that.2. The nicer she is...the quicker u will be dumped!!!!! 3. The more the makeup, worse the looks... 4. "95% of the girls in this world are beautiful. Remaining 5% would always be in your college / office.".................100% true. 5. The guy standing next to a beautiful girl can never be her Brother. 6. If by any chance the girl you like, likes you too, she will Let you know in about 10 years from now ,when you are committed..7. the more you ignore a girl, the more she'll want to be with you. 8. Theory of relativity...... The more u run towards a hot chick....the more she goes away from u...9. Even if you got her out alone... just when you are about to let her know about your feelings...she will spot a long lost friend (I guess from Kumbh ka Mela)

Corollary to rule 1: The more desperate you are to tell your feelings to a girl on a private chat, the more probability the long lost friend she discovered is a handsome superman, who beats you in everything 9:1

Axiom 1: The more dedicated you are to the girl, the longer it takes before things work out, but ultimately it will (somesmile for the guys)

10. The day the chick you really like comes and speaks to you,. Will be the day when- 1. You are dressed badly2. You forgot to brush your teeth for the first time in your life3. Have a bad hair day

11. All the good girls are either nuns or married. The rest go Around with u and ruin ur head, money, health and leave u a total wreck. 12. The more seriously u like a girl...the more seriously her dad Will hate u..

Kampavata (Parkinson’s Disease)....

“ The Palsy, and not Tear

provokes me” a famous quote of

Shakespeare about Parkinsonism,

which is due to the insufficient

formation and action of dopamine.

It is surprising to know that the disease

has existed as long as human beings,

finding a mention in every ancient

civilisation existed. Ayurveda has

treated Kampavata as early as 5000B.

C with Mucuna puriens (atmagupta),

which had therapeutic levels of

Dopamine!!!

Hurt....

My love for you was plain to see It was written all over me

A love so strong Could not be wrong

It should last an eternityNow it's just a memory

I've asked you why a thousand times But lies filled your every line

My heart was filled with so much loveI tried to bring you back to me

Good-bye was all you said to me

Of life's woes that is the one That tore my heart and drained my soul

When the one you love will not stayAll you'll do is cry each day

The joys of life that move your heartAre gone right at the start

The pain continues to this day When will it go away?

Words were spoken to touch your heartBut boots and vacations closed that part

Lies and deceit right from the start Cruelty came from your heart

Love like mine you will not findIt's gotten stronger over time

You know you're wrong in what you do Does life have any meaning to you?

54

Hurt is what you gave to meFor you we'll have to wait and see

For those that read this, understand thatI lost the only woman that I ever loved.If you have someone that you love andthings go on the bad side, think of whythat person is there. Appreciate them andshow them that you love them.

Victoriana (Hemophilia)

The Human mind still attempts

to define and encompass this

mysterious yet fascinating

phenomenon. The History can be

traced back to 2nd century AD, where

Jews described it, after many people

bleed to death.

ROYAL HEMOPHILIA: we cannot leave

Victoriana altogether without

mentioning Queen Victoria herself and

noblest haemophiliacs of them all.

Two of her daughters were carriers

transmitting the disorder generation

after generation.

STEM CELLS

Definition:

An undifferentiated cell found in a differentiated tissue that can renew itself and differentiate tobecome specialized cell of the tissue from which it is originated.

Types:By source:(A) Embryonic stem cells ( these are derived from 5 day old embryo.(B) Fetal stem cells (derived from fetal tissue 8 - 24 weeks of gestation)(C) Adult stem cells

Stromal cells- these are non blood cells derived from blood organs such as bone marrow or fetalliver capable of supporting growth of blood cells in vitro.

• Bone marrow stromal cells - A mixed population of stem cells found in bone marrow that does not give rise to blood cells but instead generates bone.• Umbilical cord blood stem cells - stem cells collected from the umbilical cord at birth that can produce all of the blood cells in the body. • Neural stem cell - A stem cell found in adult neural tissue that can give rise to neurons and glial (supporting) cells.• Hematopoietic stem cell - A stem cell that gives rise to all red and white blood cells and platelets. Mesenchymal stem cells - Cells from the immature embryonic connective tissue. These can give rise to cartilage.

By multiplicity:

• Totipotential • Pluripotential • Multipotential• Committed

History:• Early 1980’s: Preclinical work to establish CB as a source of hematopoietic stem cells• 1988: 1st successful matched sib CBT for Fanconi Anemia• 1992: Establishment of allogeneic CB banks• 1993: 1st successful URD CBT reported• 1996: 1st successful CBT reported in adult• 1993: >6000 CBT’s performed, mostly URD and mostly in children First matched sib CBT Till date - 8000 transplants have been done worldwide

Why Store Cord Blood Stem Cells?• Ready Source for Therapy• Autologous• Sibling & Parents• HLA Issue• Easy access to Samples• Long term storage• Ex-vivo expansion• Easy multiplicity

Collection of umbilical cord/ placental blood

• After double clamping/transecting cord, cord blood is collected by direct flow or via umbilical vein phlebotomy into collection jar or transfusion bag• After delivery of placenta, cord blood is ‘reverse milked’ back into placenta and additional blood aspirated from placental veins at base of cord.• Contact between maternal and placental blood avoided• Total volume: 45 - 200 ml (median ~80-100ml)• Total nucleated cell count: ~ 500 million to 5 billion (3 - 24 x 106/ml)

Factors affecting cord blood collection • Neonatal factors• Female, longer gestational age: increased TNC• Shorter time from collection to processing: increased CD34+ cells• Maternal factors• Younger maternal age and shorter gestational age: increased CD34+ cells• Longer cord, larger placenta: increased CB volume

Storage:

• UCB is stored in cryogenic conditions• Temperature below -196°C• Prevents re-crystallization• Liquid nitrogen is used • DMSO as Cryo-preservant• Under these conditions, UCB stem cells can be stored indefinitely and remain viable*

DISEASES CURRENTLY BEING TREATED

• Malignancies -- Leukemias/lymphoma -- Myelodysplastic Syndrome

54

-- Neuroblastoma -- Hodgkins/Non-Hodgkins -- Multiple Myeloma• Immunodeficiencies -- SCIDS, other T-Cell Def. -- Wiskott-Aldrich Syndrome• Myeloproliferative Disorders -- Polycythemia Vera -- Essential Thrombocythemia

• Blood disorders -- Sickle Cell Disease -- Aplastic Anemia -- Fanconi Anemia -- Thalassemia -- Blackfan-Diamond• Inborn Errors of Metabolism -- Gaucher/ Hunter -- Hurler/ Lesch-Nyhan• Phagocytic Disorders

Advantages of Cord Blood Stem Cells

• Naïve Cells – Collected on day 1• Not exposed to Day to day chemical, Pollutants and environmental Factors• Closed system of collection• Does not involve the Mother or the Baby• Low incidence of GvHD• Reduced severity of GvHD• Easy access to donated samples• Higher proliferative capacity• Successful transplants - Even with 2/6 HLA compatibility• Hassle free collection & Transplantation process• Minor HLA issue is negligible with Family banking

Disadvantages

• Risk of transmitting undiagnosed genetic diseases• HSC numbers vary greatly with no chance for recollection• Insufficient HSC for large patients• Significant risk of non-engraftment/ delay in hematopoietic engraftment• Risk of maternal blood contamination

54

FUTURE DIRECTIONS

• Expanding the donor pool• Sequential cord blood transplantation• Combination cord blood and haploidentical bone marrow transplants• Ex-vivo cord blood expansion• Gene therapy of CB progenitor cells• Non-hematopoietic applications• Combined cord blood + haploidentical BMT• Promising early results using single CBU and haploidentical family member BM• Early neutrophil engraftment• Acceptable rates of acute GVHD• Survivors demonstrate complete cord blood chimerism

CONCLUSION:

Stem cells may someday become standard treatment for:

• Heart disease/stroke• Spinal cord injuries• Diabetes• Nerve and tissue regeneration• Muscular dystrophy• Alzheimer’s disease

Hey People ! We’re back again, continuing our Sacred Quest to provide a platform for the views of “GVMC”ians. Here is the Compilation of this year’s poll with the most interesting ( read most crazy) responses...

1.What is the 1st action you would take if u r made the Dean of this college?a. Announce there will be no more classes - 20% (says Padips population is still high)b. Change op timing to 10.00 am-53%c. Build a discotheque inside the Campus .

Our favourites -I’ll abolish all classes and give colourful coats to students instead of white coat (jingchan, jingchan pacha colour jingchan, manja colour jingchan)

- Allow students to wear jeans- Demolish this college (you should’ve opted engineering)- Change OPD timing to 6.00 am (if u want to know who suggested that, please contact us)

2. How many times have you been humiliated in op for not answering?a. Many times. The question should be how many times I have answered, that would be better – 62% ( not surprising)

b. Never. i know all the answers - only one person ( again not surprising) c. Everyday.-8% d. Scolding is only when u attend…this question is not for me!!!!20%

3. Do you think copying is wrong? a. No. I copy in all tests, even the theory class notes. b. Yes .Garudapuranam says those who copy will be punished with Copypagam. -

0% ( Ovation!!!thats our Spirit!)

Other Responses Kalavum katru mara - so we should know to do everything??? ( study pana

vendiyadha list potungapa )United we pass. Divided we failCopying increases our memory power (says who?)God’s gift ( Thank you God , for such a wonderful imagination)

POLL COMPILATION

64

[We seem to have touched a sensitive spot here. Most of the replies were brimming with indignation. Someone wrote with righteous anger “ Copying is student right. This question is an insult to the student society”. We’ve realised our mistake and apologize to our readers.]

4. The greatest mistake that u have committed till now? a. Loved a boy or girl - 4%( 0f course 96% of us abide by Love Is Blind!!!) b. Selection of my professional course - 60 % ( ISI muthirai kuthuna thappu pathu)

c. Hey I answered few questions wrongly in the last internal….cha I should have done them correctly -16%(Better join students council, ethudukume feel pana mateenga)

5. Boys or girls who is best at answering viva questions? Substantiate- How do i know that , i’m always caught alone in the viva(puriyuthu, systema madhituvom)- Always Girls rock. U need no proof ( that was obviously written by a girl, ignore it!)- Boys have more analytical knowledge- Girls – vayaadenga and by crying

6. Which is your favourite hobby? a. Sighting b. Msging (even forwading blank msgs) c. Bungee jumping, scuba diving d. Studying medicine

Most people were equally divided between all these options. Kudos to those people who honestly wrote down their hobbies.But we don’t believe the liar who wrote“Reading Harrison for the fourteenth time!”.

7. Which celebrity do u think needs a make-over?a. Nayantarab. Britney spearsc. Tom cruised. Me!

65

Actually this was the most unpopular question we guess... responses were divided with nothing interesting.

8. Hav u ever been in a relationship? We’re sure nobody answered honestly because only 20% said yes. Replies like “ No.Not intending to try.” (and cry???)

“ Nangala basically romba nallavanga.”This reply will not fool us. Still we do not comprehend why someone wrote “Suma ma’am”

9. If cloning was possible ..whom would u want to clone?Everyone had their own favourites - Trisha, Nayantara, Robert pattinson (Edward Cullen), Jyotika. We , wish to clone our co- editor coz no equals yet!

10. College life is fun because of…………..?a. Gf/Bf( many .... may make life even more interesting) 8% b. Medicine rockz 4%

c. Op - only one person (what is this college coming to?)

Other responses - Friends ( always loyal)- Biochem theory class and Anatomy dissection ( ??? we said fun, do u know wat that means?)- Lectures (please look up a dictionary for the meaning of fun.)

11. Which is the Better way of Maintaining Friendship a.obviously texting ya…we get shout out your inner feelings

b.Nothing can replace chattingc.Phone conversationsd.Long walks( someone wrote “ holding hands”)Yoschi letter podran( engalukka??? Ila???)

66

12. If you have to write a Thesis , what subject will you choose? a. “Study on the Molecular Structure of Amino acids” or something equally

interesting. – 0% ( what’s wrong with amino acids guys. They are interesting you know!)

b.“Methods of passing internals without studying with an overview on Bit Preparation.” 4%only ( since remaining got it in their genes, we doubt)

c. What exactly is a thesis?? This turned out to be the most popular response garnering an unprecedented 85%

- Study on the narcotic effects of theory classes (that’s a good one)- How MBBS kills without shedding blood (just as Love, You Dim-Wit)- Terrorism ( but why??)- How to correct a figure (you should write that, it would be a instant best seller)

13. Do you exercise? a. Yes, sometimes i walk to class - 45% b. I go to the gym regularly.- 10% c.How do you spell exercise - 30%- I’m already very slim (We don’t account Trishas and Dhanushs)- I climb stairs ( actually we too get up from bed daily)- Regularly in dreams

( we really don’t have a comment for that)- Why talking about physics ? This is a medical college. ( what r u talking about?)

15. If you are going to be stranded on a desert island who would you wish to be with you. 15% said they would want a cook. ( good .. eating is always important) 10% wished for a professor so the wont miss classes. (LOL)- Surya ( Aasaiya paaru)- My room mate( Dear Room mate Be Safe)- Cell phone ( Toweruku enga povinga? Mandyla natupingala)

67

- A water bottle, kurkure, frooty, uncle chips, and limca ( We asked “who” ‘Who’ usually refers to a person not picnic items! !)- Our hostel water doctor (Hoorey, athu hostela irumkumbodhey work pannadhu!)

Thanks people, for bursting out your feelings... this Quest is yet not over...wait for the next Radiance (as usual practice answering in classes) SEE YOU..!!
