5 year old Kid dies after Root Canal & Laptop theft
Child dies after Root Canal, TOI 28 June, 2008
MUMBAI: A five-year-old child from Dahisar died during a root canal dental procedure on Friday. While the root canal itself was over, doctors said the girl, Krisha Joshi, suffered a cardiac arrest while her anaesthesia was being reversed and died within two hours of the procedure at Rose and Petal Hospital in Borivli.
The Borivli police have registered a case of accidental death.
Her uncle, Chirag Trivedi, told TOI, "Going by the credentials of the dentist, we took her to that clinic. As he had just returned from Japan, a dentist from his team checked Krisha and told us that she needed nearly 14 root canals, which could be done in one sitting. We asked for the six major ones to be done first." Krisha had gone to Dr Uday Tamhankar's clinic on Friday, but as the procedure required general anaesthesia, it was decided that she would undergo the procedure at the nearby hospital. She was taken there thrice before for basic check-ups.
On the day of the root canal procedure, Krishna was taken to the hospital around 8 am and was administered with general anaesthesia. As Dr Tamhankar was away, another dentist, Mrunal Kende, performed the procedure, after which the parents were called in and shown her work. Following that, Dr Kende left the clinic, while anaesthetist Dr Prajakta Kulkarni monitored her condition. It was when she took a turn for the worse that the team called other paediatricians and tried to resuscitate her, but in vain. Full News item
Caphosol Favorably Impacts Both The Rate And Severity Of Oral Mucositis In Cancer Patients
New data show that use of CAPHOSOL® (http://www.caphosol.com/), an advanced oral electrolyte solution, resulted in both favorable impact on rates and severity of oral mucositis (OM) in cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy and radiation therapy. The data, which were presented at the 20th International Symposium of the Multinational Association of Supportive Care in Cancer (MASCC) and the International Society of Oral Oncology (ISOO), also demonstrate that CAPHOSOL use is associated with low use of pain medication and high levels of patient and physician satisfaction.

How to Prevent Laptop Theft
More and more of us today have laptops, and these tips will be helpful to know.
AHMEDABAD: apr 08 Businessman Dipesh Shah parked his car near his house in Aman Bungalows on the 100-feet Ring Road and turned in for the night after activating his Rs 30,000 worth car security system.
Early on Tuesday morning, his domestic help reported that his car window was broken. It had been neatly cut out and his expensive laptop and state-of-the-art car stereo system was gone. The automated car security system had not beeped even once.
This is not a solitary incident. Police records show that one laptop is stolen from cars almost every day from posh and busy zones like Drive-In Road, SG Highway, Shivranjani Crossroads and Gurukul Circle. In the last month alone, 23 laptop thefts were reported in the city, mostly from Satellite police station. And the police are clueless.
TIPS to Prevent Theft
1. Visual deterrents - A laptop in the office environment should be secured with a lock or put into a secure locker when not in use. An opportunistic burglar could be put off by a lock as they have only a small window of time to get out before they are discovered.
2. Don’t make it obvious you are carrying a laptop - Rather that a tell-tale laptop bag, laptops should be carried in inconspicuous bags, such as backpacks or tote bags.
3. Avoid leaving laptops unattended - Lock them in cupboards or other secure facilities when not being used. If they must be left in a car, they should be covered up or locked in the boot.
4. Discourage theft by publicising the use of security products such as asset tracking software - If thieves think that they might be caught, they will be less likely to take it in the first place.
5. Add identification to your laptop - For example, adding barcodes or engraving details onto the device will act as a deterrent. Thieves usually steal laptops to immediately sell them on. Obvious identification makes it a less desirable target.
6. When flying, never check your laptop in as luggage - Laptops should be taken onto a plane as hand luggage. Be aware of thieves swapping briefcases coming out of the x-ray machine at security.
