Diagnosing the Unborn: Fetal Medicine Helps Woman Have a Normal Pregnancy & Healthy Child at Paras Bliss Hospital, Panchkula

Fetal medicine is a newly emerging discipline of medicine, key to diagnosing and treating disease in unborn babies

Panchkula, February 7, 2017: Having a 6-year-old son with a rare genetic abnormality, Radhika (name changed) was gravely worried when she became pregnant again. Her concern centred around the possibility of her second child inheriting the same genetic abnormality; and her need to ensure that this doesn’t happen brought her to Paras Bliss Hospital, Panchkula.

At Paras Bliss Hospital, Panchkula, the new emerging specialty of Fetal medicine and genetic counselling came to her aid. Fetal Medicine is a branch of medicine that deals with the assessment of fetal growth and wellbeing. It also includes the maintenance of fetal health and the diagnosis of fetal illnesses and abnormalities.

Radhika’s son Dev significantly lagged mental development and also started having seizures especially on sun exposure. On thorough investigation, his condition was attributed to a rare genetic abnormality called 5p duplication and 9p deletion. These rare genetic changes can be de novo (newly appearing) or a familial mutation and carried a minor risk of recurrence.

Radhika was understandably worried and wanted to assure that her unborn baby does not inherit a similar genetic condition.All the more because she had miscarried thrice, and this seemed to be her last chance of expecting an uneventful pregnancy.

“To confirm that the baby in the womb did not have the same genetic disease as her son, we offered her a diagnostic needle test (Chorionic villus sampling ) at 3 months (12 weeks gestation) pregnancy and sent the placental biopsy sample for genetic analysis (Microarray). The reasons for carrying out this test so early were one, the legal limit of termination in India in case of any abnormality is 20 weeks and two, the turnaround time of test results is approx 3-5 weeks,” explains Dr. Nupur Shah, Consultant Fetal Medicine, Paras Bliss Hospital, Panchakula.

The results of the test were very reassuring for the parents as they showed that the unborn child did not have the genetic disease as his older sibling and neither did he have any commonly known chromosomal defects. The structural survey of the unborn baby, commonly known as Anomaly scan or Level 2 scan performed at 19 weeks was also normal.

Much relieved at the findings, Radhika went on to have a healthy and uneventfully pregnancy which culminated in the delivery of a healthy baby boy. The mother and baby are doing well. The baby has achieved all normal mental milestones so far.

“With all the miracles medicine has created so far, Fetal Medicine comes as a promise to diagnose and treat most of the health problems of unborn babies. It is a very promising specialty and in the near future more and more expecting parents will use the facility of genetic counselling and fetal medicine to ensure they deliver healthy babies. In case of Radhika, our objective was to check if her second son also carried the genetic abnormality and try to offer her a viable solution and informed choice,” says Dr. Nupur Shah, Consultant Fetal Medicine, Paras Bliss Hospital, Panchakula.

This case underscores the need of Fetal medicine specialists in understanding, counselling and diagnosing the health issues of the unborn in an endeavour to bring a healthy next generation.

At Paras Bliss Hospital, Panchkula, we also advocate couples to undergo pre-conception counselling and testing so that they are aware of the possibilities of genetic abnormalities or defects that can pass on to their children and make informed choices. In many cases, medical intervention before conception can also help parents conceive normally and have healthy pregnancies.

Paras Bliss Hospital, Panchkula Organizes Pediatrics & Dental Check Up Camp for School children

4-day camp at DC Model Senior Secondary School to help identify health concerns among children and encourage them to adopt healthy lifestyles

Panchkula, 30th Jan 2017: Despite being highly concerned about the health and wellness of their children, most Indian parents visit a pediatrician only when there are apparent signs of an illness. However, a number of disorders in children are often discovered on random health check-ups.

With an aim to keep a check on the health standards of children and encourage parents to adopt regular health check-ups, Paras Bliss Hospital, Panchkula is organizing a four-day health camp at DC Model Senior Secondary School, Sec 7, Panchkula.

The health camp is covering an entire range of check-ups including paediatrics and dental for all children of the school free of cost. The health screening includes a physical screening to rule out any anomaly, a vision test, a dental test, and an obesity screening, among other things.

Notably, a comprehensive health examination at school premises not only helps identify hitherto undetected health problems in children but also saves students’ time and ensures that it does not interrupt their studies.

“In India, a majority of parents do not undertake preventive health check-ups of their children for reasons such as lack of awareness and time constraints. Often, several diseases and disorders go unnoticed until red-flagged by any conspicuous symptoms. This includes dental problems such as cavities, skin and scalp infections, and vision problems, among others. Dental issues are particularly diagnosed very late in children. In many cases by the time a child reports pain, cavities have already spread too deep and caused nerve damage. These issues can be picked-up and diagnosed early if detected at preventive health screenings. We believe every school must adopt an annual health screening exercise for its children,” says Dr. Jyoti Chawla, Sr. Pediatrics, Paras Bliss Hospital, Panchkula.

After a thorough medical check-up, The doctors will provide a detailed descriptive report for all students to inform parents about the health status of children, and notify them about any anomaly or health concern that needs medical attention. The parents are also advised to conduct regular follow ups on the health of their children to ensure that required steps are taken to ensure that child remains healthy.

The check up camp also had doctors educate children about healthy living habits such as healthy eating, need to stay away from junk food, the need for physical exercising and outdoor playing, and adopting health dental habits such as brushing teeth regularly before going to bed.

“A radical change in our lifestyles and eating habits has exposed everyone including children to a number of health threats. Issues such as rise in incidence of juvenile diabetes including both type 1 and type 2, increase in incidence of obesity among children are real threats today. This calls for encouraging children to adopt health eating habits and active lifestyles and adopt physically active playing routines rather than indulging too much into computer games,” says Dr. Krishan Yadav, Neonatology, Paras Bliss Hospital, Panchkula.

Paras Bliss Hospital, Panchkula encourages parents to take their children to regular preventive screenings to ensure their children’s health status is tracked.

Premature Babies with Respiratory Distress Syndrome Get New Lease of Life at Paras Bliss, Panchkula

· Respiratory distress syndrome is a leading cause of neo natal mortality, especially in rural areas where newborns do not get the right treatment

· The more premature a baby, the higher the chances of Respiratory Distress Syndrome

Panchkula, Nov 8, 2016: Around one per cent of newborn babies across the world are affected by respiratory distress syndrome, a condition in which premature babies experience difficulty or inability to breathe due to lack of surfactant in lungs. This condition is the leading cause death in babies who are born prematurely before completing 37 weeks of gestation.

Paras Bliss Hospital, Panchkula today conducted a press conference to highlight a number of cases of ‘surfactant babies’ successfully trated at the hospital, and raise awareness about the condition.
Respiratory distress syndrome (RDS) is the most common lung problem in premature babies. This condition was previously known as hyaline membrane disease (HMD). A baby develops RDS when his/her lungs do not produce sufficient amounts of surfactant. Surfactant is a foamy, fatty liquid that acts like grease within the lungs and keeps the tiny air sacs in the lung open allowing for seamless breathing.

“At Paras Bliss, we have seen a number of newborn babies born in Panchkula and in adjoining rural areas brought here suffering from this condition. Thus we at Paras Bliss are seeing asurge in number of premature cases that is birth weight ranging from 750 gms to 1.5 kgs of babies in past few months. We have successfully treated over 22 to 25 affected babies over the past one year. In fact RDS is the most common causes of neo-natal mortality in premature babies. The lungs start producing surfactant after about 24 weeks of pregnancy and it gradually builds up to its full level by the 37th week. This is why the more premature the baby is, the more chances of him/her suffering from RDS. If the delivery occurs before the fetus’s lungs have produced sufficient surfactant, the baby will suffer from RDS,” says Dr Krishan Yadav, H.O.D. Neonatology, Paras Bliss, Panchkula.

Surfactant works by coating the surface of the air sacs and allows the air sacs to remain open throughout the respiratory cycle. Respiratory distress syndrome is more common among newborns whose mother has diabetes.

Artificial surfactant is given to the babies whose lungs are lacking in the substance. Surfactant replacement therapy is highly effective in saving lives of newborn babies and preventing negative effects of the condition in babies who go on to live.

In some babies, symptoms manifest themselves in the form of breathing difficulty right after birth or after a few days. Such babies are treated by delivering surfactant to their lungs by using an artificial breathing tube that is inserted into the windpipe.

“Infants who are affected with this condition have serious difficulty in breathing and the resultant lack of oxygen in the blood may give them a blue appearance. While in some newborns this condition is so severe and their air sacs so stiff that they are unable to breathe are birth. However, in most others this condition manifests after a few days. It is important to underline that without treatment, the syndrome may cause brain damage or death. It can also cause rupture in the lungs. Therefore, any such sign mustn’t be ignored,” adds Dr Yadav.

The diagnosis of the condition is made after investigating symptoms, oxygen levels in the blood, and chest x-ray.

The press conference was attended by several patients whose babies were successfully treated of the condition at Paras Bliss.

Paras Bliss Organizes Blood Donation Camp; Asks Panchkula Residents to Step Forward

Have You Saved a Life?

•The blood donation camp witnessed active participation from people, many of them first time donors

Panchkula, Oct 18, 2016: Panchkula residents turned out in encouraging numbers today to donate their blood at a special blood donation camp organized by Paras Bliss Hospital, Panchkula, with an objective of raising awareness among people about the importance of the noble act.

Paras Bliss Organizes Blood Donation Camp; Asks Panchkula Residents to Step Forward

The camp saw participation from 60 people, many of them enthusiastic first time donors who also pledged to continue donating blood regularly to help save lives.

A large number of patients fighting for their lives depend on the noble act of blood donation by a Good Samaritan. Accident victims who have suffered critical blood loss often need blood donors to save their lives; patients fighting cancer and undergoing chemotherapy need blood donors over prolonged periods to be able to replenish their plummeting hemoglobin and platelets.

Unfortunately in India, the act of blood donation is yet to become an active culture owing to lack of awareness or sensitization about the condition of patients requiring blood. Many people are reluctant to participate in the activity because of certain myths surrounding the act.

“Some people tend to believe that blood donation would hamper their health. This is far from true. The blood extracted during donation is quickly replenished by the body and most people walk or drive back home without any trouble after donating blood. Another myth surrounding the issue is that a donor is vulnerable to catching infections while donating blood. These myths need to be busted. We need to promote blood donation and encourage people to come forward to help save lives,” said Dr. Rishi Mangat, Unit Head, Paras Bliss Hospital, Panchkula.

Not only is blood donation an absolutely safe and healthy exercise. It also has health benefits for the donor. People with excessive weight can gain by shedding calories. One time blood donation is believed to help the donor shed at least 600 Kcal. At the same time regular blood donations are linked to reduced risk of several life-threatening disease including heart diseases, liver ailments and even cancer.

“In western nations a bulk of blood requirement is met by voluntary blood donations by donors. Many healthy people regularly turn up at blood banks to donate blood to help them meet the emergency requirements of patients. On the contrary blood donation in India is mostly need-based. Most of the time donors who turn up in emergency situations are family members, friends and relatives. We need to work together to develop a culture of voluntary blood donation in India, especially among the youth,” said Dr. S. K. Gambhir, Sr. Consultant Gynecology & Obstetrics.

Sometimes critically ill patients lose their lives because of lack of blood supply, especially of rare blood groups such as AB-, B- and O-. For people with these blood groups, it is even more important to consider blood donation as a moral duty.

Daughters’ Day Educated Mothers Make Educated Daughters: Paras Bliss Celebrates Daughters’ Day with Open Forum on Adolescents’ Health & Hygiene

A team of Gynaecologists, Obstetricians, Paediatricians, Nutrition Experts & Psychologists deliver informative talks for mothers about adolescent needs

Panchkula, September 28 2016: If you have a teenage girl at home, you would know the challenges of dealing with her special needs including health, menstrual hygiene, psychological and image related issues as she learns to tackle the physical and emotional changes brought about by puberty.

Daughters’ Day Educated Mothers Make Educated Daughters: Paras Bliss Celebrates Daughters’ Day with Open Forum on Adolescents’ Health & Hygiene

At Paras Bliss Hospital, we believe that it is important for mothers to be armed with the right information, awareness and psychological understanding of the difficult transformative years to be able to guide and support their daughters in the best way.

As we celebrate Daughter’s Day, Paras Bliss Hospital today organized a special event aimed at empowering mothers with information and education to help their young daughters make an informed and confident transition to adulthood.

The special activity brought together a comprehensive expert team of Gynaecologists, Obstetricians, Paediatricians, Nutrition Experts Psychologists and Dental Experts to deliver a series of informative talks for mothers and address all relevant questions about adolescent years.

Teenage years are one of the difficult periods of a person’s life, especially for girls whose bodies undergo major transition during this time. The beginning of menstrual cycle indicates the girl attaining puberty and maturing of her reproductive system. Although a natural phenomena, it brings lot of discomfort and inconvenience, especially in the initial years when young girls find it tough to cope with the changing needs of their bodies. In this difficult phase, mothers are usually the best friends of their daughters and closely help them navigate through the inconvenient transition with confidence. They are the key guides and companions who help their girls cope up with the change in body, hormones and subsequent moods and feelings.

“The onset of puberty is a confounding period for young girls. The changes in their bodies and the hormonal shifts not just require improved hygiene but also bring about complex emotional upheavals including image and personality issues. As they become conscious of their bodies, they also need to be educated about identifying the ‘bad touch’ and the need to protect themselves from potential threats. All these questions can best be addressed by mothers. It is therefore important that the mothers have the right education to be able to counsel their children well,” said Dr. Monica Agarwal, Consultant Gynae & Obstetrics

The experts discussed about the hormonal changes that mark menstruation and shared important tips for health and hygiene during the time. They also spoke about the need to shed the taboo and awkwardness associated with periods and the need to encourage girls to discuss their problems openly.

“The taboo and embarrassment associated with puberty-related issues needs to be done away with. Out of embarrassment and a sense of shame, many girls do not openly discuss their adolescent issues with anyone and are even hesitant in taking medical help in case they are experiencing health problems. Mothers should be the first to encourage their daughters to discuss their issues openly with them,” said Dr. Rishi Mangat, Unit Head, Paras Bliss Hospital

The experts who spoke during the event included Dr. Heena Chawla, Consultant Gynaec-Oncologist & Endoscopic Surgeon; Dr. Monica, Consultant Gynae & Obstetrics; Dr. Sristhi, Consultant- Dermatologist; Dr. Krishan Yadav, HOD Neonatology; Dt. Gunjan Pannu, HOD Clinical Dietetics & Nutrition; Dr. Nirja Chawla, Director, Obstetrics Gynaecology & Endoscopic Surgery & Dr. Ruby, Consultant Psychologist.

The subjects covered during the events included Gynecological issues such as irregular periods, cramps, excessive bleeding, menstrual cycles and sanitation choices, PCOD, among others. The experts also discussed weight management, obesity and health risks that present day adolescents face. A dermatologist also spoke about managing acne, breakouts, skin health as well as body hair. The Psychologist discussed the pertinent issues of educating girls about differentiating the Good Touch from the Bad Touch.

Paras Bliss Hospital, Delhi Organizes Free Zumba Session for School Children

New Delhi: 31/08/2016: Paras Bliss Hospital for Mother & Child, Delhi, organized a fun-filled Zumba Session for school children as a part of their pediatric fitness awareness program. The complimentary session took place at the hospital premises on the evening of August 27th, and saw a participation of over 50 children between 4 and 10 years.

Underscoring the significance of the event, Dr. Parmila Sharma, HOD Physiotherapy, paras bliss hospital said, “Zumba is an amazing dance-fitness technique that involves aerobic movements to vibrant Latin music. A Zumba session can be a highly effective weight-control measure for kids, particularly because it has a fun element to it. As a leading healthcare institution delivering specialized care for mothers and their children, we facilitate a range of value-added activities to support their well-being. The aim of the session organized today was to ensure that school-going children enjoy exercise in an engaging atmosphere.”

The session was attended by renowned fitness experts in town and was thoroughly enjoyed by the participating children. Refreshments and attractive gifts were given to all the participating children after the session was over.

“Estimates suggest over 15 million children are obese worldwide, with the likelihood of 50-70% of children growing into obese adults. Hence, it is important that parents look at fitness-related entertainment avenues, rather than those that involve food and static activity. Exercise, in any form, facilitates physical and cognitive growth and also infuses a sense of emotional maturity. The ‘zumbatic’ evening that we witnessed here today was just a tiny step in the direction of the larger goal of a fit nation, that can produce more gymnasts in the near future,” added Dr. Parmila Sharma, HOD Physiotherapy, paras bliss hospital

Zumba, a fitness program combining dance and exercise, originates from Columbia. It does not require previous dance experience and can be practiced by all age groups. This first-of-its-kind community initiative organized by Paras Bliss Hospital was well-received by parents and children alike. It can be used as a tool to promote fitness awareness as a part of a healthy lifestyle, especially for children.

Paras Bliss Hospital, Panchkula, Conducts In-House Teachers’ Training on Pediatric Emergencies in Schools

• The hospital provided a first-of-its-kind training to school teachers to help them manage children-related emergencies in school

• The first hour of treatment is the golden hour and can make a difference between life and death

Panchkula, 23rd August 2016: In a bid to promote child safety and primary medical care during school hours for emergency situations, Paras Bliss Hospital, Panchkula, organized an In-house Teachers’ Training on Pediatric Emergencies, a first-of-its- kind in the Tricity area, in the hospital premises.

Paras Bliss Hospital, Panchkula, Conducts In-House Teachers’ Training on Pediatric Emergencies in Schools

Dr Krishan Yadav, HOD & Consultant – Neonatology, Paras Bliss Hospital, Panchkula said, “Children spend a significant portion of their day in school. Pediatric emergencies such as asthma attacks, accidental injuries, sports injuries like fractures, and sprains, are common incidents that occur in school. The first hour after, is considered the golden hour, and the treatment that children receive by the teachers before visiting a hospital can save lives and prevent minor injuries from becoming major ones. “

Dr Rishi Mangat, Centre Head, Paras Bliss Hospital, Panchkula said, our goal here is to train teachers to identify the crisis and act promptly. Also, we hope that these teachers will be influencers in the school, helping their colleagues manage similar situations. They will also bring about changes in the way in which schools equip their medical rooms.”

Prominent schools of Panchkula like Saupins School and FMD School were present to take part in this training and almost 60 registered to be a part of this activity to ensure better safety of their school children.

Dr Krishan Yadav’s guidelines for a safe environment in school:

• The school must have a laid-down protocol to avoid any unnecessary chaos around a sick child.

• A basic life-support kit that has an oxygen cylinder, mask, and manual resuscitator (Ambulance bag) are important.

• A nebulization machine should be installed in the school to help a child having an asthma attack.

• A list of nearby pediatric-care facilities or emergency hospitals to manage any unforeseen situation must be at hand.

• School professionals must know how to do a CPR on a child if the situation demands it.

• Water accidents or fire accidents can be avoided if the school follows strict safety protocols.

• Ideally, a school must have their own ambulance to transport any child in critical condition without any waste of time.

Paras Bliss Hospital, Panchukula, Brings Together Health Professionals to Discuss the ‘Need for Breastfeeding Rooms in Public Places’

· Paras Bliss is promoting the need for breastfeeding rooms in public areas

· Exclusive breast feeding promotes nutritional, immunological and psychological development of the child, which the hospitals support

Panchkula, 10th August 2016: The government, international agencies such as UNICEF, and medical professionals recommend that women breastfeed. However, one of the greatest challenges to this is the fact that mothers on the go do not have private, hygienic spaces to breastfeed.

Dr Nirja Chawla, Director Gynecology & Obstetrics, Paras Bliss Hospital, Panchkula, Dr Gunjan Pannu, HOD, Clinical Nutrition and Dietitian

Paras Bliss hospital, Panchukula, in collaboration with the Indian Dietetic Association (Chandigarh chapter) has conducted a CME (continuing medical education) on Human Milk to propagate the cause of breastfeeding in order to improve the health of babies all across the country. Through this CME Paras Bliss Hospital, Panchukula, has taken the initiative of launching a petition campaign to promote the idea of making public spaces breastfeeding-friendly to encourage the practice and improve the health of babies all across the country.

Speaking to the press, Dr Nirja Chawla, Director Gynecology & Obstetrics, Paras Bliss Hospital, Panchkula said, “This week is an opportunity for mothers, breastfeeding supporters and health professionals to come together and share what works well to support breastfeeding in local communities. Though breastfeeding is a natural phenomenon, doing so in public spaces is difficult for nursing mothers, as there are very few nursing rooms available. We support breastfeeding because of its beneficial effects on an infant's nutritional, immunological, and psychological development. There are various proven maternal health benefits too. Hence we, at Paras Bliss, are promoting the need of breastfeeding rooms in public areas.”

Breast milk is the natural and first food for the babies, providing adequate calories, minerals, vitamins, and all nutrients for the initial months of his life. Beside the babies, breastfeeding is also beneficial for the new mother as it decreases the risks for breast and ovarian cancers, lowers the risk of osteoporosis, promotes maternal recovery from childbirth and also creates a supportive environment for mother and child bonding, says Dr Gunjan Pannu, HOD, Clinical Nutrition and Dietitian, Paras Bliss Hospital, Panchkula said

The hospital has put out the petition campaign on social media and in online petition web channels for greater support of the campaign. It is being especially promoted by Deepa Antil, President, Sashakt Nari Parishad (SNP).

Dr Krishan Yadav, HOD, Neonatology, Paras Bliss Hospital, Panchkula said, “Breastfeeding brings with it some amount of anxiety, and it is our responsibility as a society to make mothers comfortable as they perform this essential task.”

The lack of public facilities may explain the fact that in developing countries, only 1 in 3 mothers breastfeed exclusively for six months. Almost 8, 00,000 children’s lives can be saved if they are breastfed exclusively as breast milk contains immune-boosting properties that protect the newborns from early infections.

New Delhi, 1st August 2016: In an endeavor to extend supportive care to the mother and child, Paras Bliss Hospital, New Delhi, organized a baby show. The show, named ‘Oh Baby!’, was held at the hospital premises on Sunday, July 31, 2016, 11 a.m. onwards. The objective of the show was to help mothers and babies socialize, create a support and network group, and help build a supportive environment for families.

“We, at Paras Bliss, understand that for parents, a baby is their lifeline. This show is meant for them to enjoy the journey that is parenthood. At the show, we will look at the basics, such as whether the child has taken all the necessary vaccinations, and more evolved aspects, such as parent-child bonding and the child’s exposure to stories and knowledge. We believe that well-being is about physical, mental, and emotional health, and we hope that this will help parents take a fresh look at childcare,” says Dr. Sanjay Tandon, Sr. Consultant- Paediatrics, Paras Bliss Hospital, New Delhi

In Oh Baby!80 babies participated in two age groups: 0-2 years and 2-5 years. There were four ‘talent display’ categories for each age group:

·         Twinkle Toes (dance talent)

·         Sunniest smile

·         Most aware baby

·         Show stopper baby

Individual winners in each category were crowned by the jury of childcare experts and were given gifts. All the participating kids were given refreshments and toys as a token of appreciation.

“We believe that every child is unique and talent in his or her own way. It’s important to give children a healthy start so that they can make the best of their abilities now and in the future too,” adds Ms. Seema Vig, Center Head, Paras Bliss Hospital, New Delhi
