In the 56th episode of Health Wrap by The Hindu, Ramya Kannan, Health Editor, The Hindu, and Zubeda Hamid, Senior Assistant Editor, The Hindu, discuss health issues that highlight the importance of early diagnosis, reliable scientific evidence and access to treatment. The episode looks at how early-onset Alzheimers disease can present differently in people below the age of 65, with symptoms affecting language, vision and other thinking abilities, sometimes making diagnosis more challenging. It also examines concerns over more than 4,000 cancer research papers flagged for suspected links to paper mills, businesses that produce and sell research papers, sometimes using fabricated data or manipulated findings. The discussion explains why such concerns matter for the reliability of scientific evidence, while noting that flagged papers require further investigation. The episode also looks at concerns raised by families of children living with spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) in Keralam over a generic drug. With SMA affecting the nerve cells that control muscle movement, treatment and ongoing care can be crucial. Families need clear information about the safety, effectiveness and quality of medicines, alongside affordable and accessible treatment options for this rare genetic condition.

Five-day fishing ban from today as TN braces for heavy rain

Digital Desk | Chennai, Oct 25 (IANS) Fishermen have been prohibited from venturing into the sea for five days from Sunday following a warning about a possible cyclonic storm developing over the Bay of Bengal, while heavy rain and gusty winds are forecast across several parts of Tamil Nadu.

The bulletin also referred to an atmospheric circulation extending from the southeast Arabian Sea and adjoining Lakshadweep region towards the northern Tamil Nadu coast through Kerala, at approximately 1.5 kilometres above sea level. Heavy rain accompanied by thunderstorms, lightning, and winds reaching 40-50 kmph is likely at isolated places in the Nilgiris, Coimbatore, Theni, Dindigul, Madurai, Perambalur, Ariyalur and Tiruchirappalli districts during the initial phase of the forecast. Several other interior and coastal districts, including Chennai, Tiruvallur, Kancheepuram, Chengalpattu, Cuddalore, Thanjavur, Tiruvarur and Nagapattinam, could also receive rain accompanied by thunderstorms and gusty winds. Similar conditions are forecast for Puducherry and Karaikal. On Monday, isolated heavy to very heavy rainfall is likely in the Nilgiris, Coimbatore, Theni, Madurai, Sivaganga, Ramanathapuram and Pudukkottai districts, along with thunderstorms, lightning and winds of 40-50 kmph.

Kerala's national fisheries institute supplies one million mussel seeds to Maharashtra

Digital Desk | Kochi, Oct 24 (IANS) Indias national marine fisheries research institute, ICAR-Central Marine Fisheries Research Institute (CMFRI) at Kochi, in Kerala, has supplied one million hatchery-produced green mussel seeds to Maharashtra in the past six months to promote coastal farming and create alternative livelihood opportunities for fishing and tribal communities. The latest consignment comprised five lakh seeds, taking the cumulative supply to one million. CMFRI has also supplied one lakh oyster seeds to the state. The seeds were produced at CMFRIs bivalve hatchery at its Vizhinjam Regional Centre in Thiruvananthapuram under the Pradhan Mantri Matsya Sampada Yojana (PMMSY). The initiative aims to help coastal communities take up mussel and oyster farming using scientifically produced seeds instead of depending entirely on naturally available stocks. The initiative is aimed at translating marine fisheries research into livelihood opportunities by promoting sustainable bivalve farming along the Maharashtra coast, said CMFRI Director Dr Grinson George. The green mussel seeds measure 24 millimetres. They will be used to develop farming activities with the support of Maharashtras Mangrove and Marine Biodiversity Conservation Foundation. CMFRI has also trained 30 officials of Maharashtras Mangrove Cell in nursery rearing and farming techniques for mussels and oysters. The training was led by a scientific team headed by Principal Scientist Dr M.K. Anil. The trained officials are expected to help transfer the technology to local communities and provide practical guidance to prospective farmers, Anil said. Bivalves, which include mussels and oysters, are filter-feeding shellfish that can be farmed in suitable coastal waters. Their cultivation generally requires limited external inputs once the farms are established, provided water quality and environmental conditions remain favourable. However, suitable sites, proper monitoring and good farming practices are essential for successful cultivation. CMFRIs hatchery technology addresses a key constraint in shellfish farming: the seasonal and location-dependent availability of natural seeds. A reliable supply of hatchery-produced seeds can help farmers plan cultivation more consistently. The institute said the combined promotion of mussel and oyster farming could diversify income sources for coastal fishers and tribal communities. The project is supported by the Union governments Department of Fisheries. The initiative also seeks to explore the scope for integrating shellfish farming with mangrove conservation. The actual livelihood benefits will depend on the adoption of farming practices, survival of the seeds and the market for the harvested produce.
