DCGI flags popular antacid Digene Gel, Abbott initiates recall

The popular antacid Digene gel has received a warning alert from the Drugs Control General of India (DCGI) following which batches of the product have been recalled by its parent company Abbott India.

Issuing a cautionary advisory, the regulatory body has urged patients to discontinue the use of Digene Gel manufactured at Abbott's Goa facility. Furthermore, it has directed wholesalers to withdraw any affected product, including all batch numbers manufactured at the facility that are within their active shelf life, from distribution.

AI performs comparably to human readers of mammograms

Using a standardized assessment, researchers in the UK compared the performance of a commercially available artificial intelligence (AI) algorithm with human readers of screening mammograms. Results of their findings were published in Radiology, a journal of the Radiological Society of North America (RSNA).

Mammographic screening does not detect every breast cancer. False-positive interpretations can result in women without cancer undergoing unnecessary imaging and biopsy. To improve the sensitivity and specificity of screening mammography, one solution is to have two readers interpret every mammogram.

Rising Concern: Scrub typhus, an infectious disease taking lives in India

Scrub typhus is causing significant health concerns in India due to its potential to lead to severe illness or even death if not promptly diagnosed and treated. While the monsoon season provides relief from the heat, it also brings a range of diseases, including bacterial infections and waterborne illnesses. Recently, there has been a notable increase in cases of scrub typhus in Rajasthan and Himachal Pradesh, with reports of five fatalities and over 700 confirmed cases.

Scrub typhus is a cause for concern in India due to its capacity to lead to substantial illness and, in certain instances, fatalities if not identified and addressed promptly. This disease shares similar symptoms with malaria, dengue, and other fever-related illnesses during the monsoon season, creating difficulties in both diagnosing and managing it. This underscores the importance of accurate and timely diagnosis and treatment.
