Lancet Study Questions HbA1c Accuracy for Diabetes

Image
  A new study published in The Lancet Regional Health has raised concerns over the widespread reliance on glycated haemoglobin (HbA1c) testing for diagnosing and monitoring type-2 diabetes in India. The findings suggest that HbA1c may not accurately reflect true blood glucose levels in large sections of the population, potentially misrepresenting the country’s actual diabetes burden. Why HbA1c May Be Unreliable  HbA1c reflects the gly diabetes diagnosis and long-term glucose monitoring. However, the study higcation of haemoglobin over the lifespan of red blood cells and is widely used forhlights that conditions affecting haemoglobin quantity, structure or lifespan can distort HbA1c values. These include anaemia, haemoglobinopathies and red blood cell enzyme disorders such as glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficiency, all of which are prevalent in India. Risk of Misdiagnosis and Delayed Treatment According to the study, exclusive reliance on HbA1c can lead to both und...

New Diplozentrum Orchid Specie

Image
  Researchers have identified a new orchid species in the high ranges of Kerala , adding to the botanical richness of the Western Ghats . The species was discovered in Kanthalloor near Marayoor in Idukki district and belongs to the Diplozentrum genus, which is endemic to the southern Western Ghats . Taxonomy and Scientific Naming The newly identified orchid has been scientifically named “Diplozentrum papillosum”. The genus Diplozentrum is known for its limited geographical distribution, making the discovery significant from both taxonomic and conservation perspectives. The species has been formally documented in the latest issue of the scientific journal “Species”. Distinct Morphological Features “Diplozentrum papillosum” is distinguished by its unbranched flower clusters and striking pink-and-white blooms. The petals show a distinctive structure that clearly differentiates it from other known species within the genus. The flowers are noted for their fragrance as well as their visu...

Beijing Study Turns Apple Leaves into Corrosion Shield

Image
  A joint research collaboration between Indian and Chinese universities has unveiled a sustainable method to protect metals from corrosion using waste apple leaves. The breakthrough offers an eco-friendly alternative to toxic industrial inhibitors and highlights the growing role of green chemistry in infrastructure and manufacturing. Indo- China Academic Collaboration The study was conducted by researchers from Nagaland University and the University of Science and Technology Beijing. Led by Prof. Ambrish Singh and Prof. Yujie Qiang, the international team focused on converting discarded apple leaves into high-performance corrosion inhibitors. The collaboration demonstrates how cross-border academic partnerships can address global industrial challenges through sustainable science. Apple-Leaf Carbon Quantum Dots Explained Researchers developed carbon quantum dots derived from apple leaves using a green hydrothermal process. These nanoscale particles, doped with nitrogen and sulfur,...

FDA Approves Aqvesme as First Oral Drug for Thalassemia Anaemia

Image
  In a major advance for inherited blood disorders, the US Food and Drug Administration has approved mitapivat, marketed as Aqvesme, as the first oral treatment for anaemia in adults with alpha- or beta-thalassemia. The decision expands options for patients who have long depended on repeated blood transfusions and the complex management that follows, including iron overload and frequent hospital visits. The approval is being seen as a shift towards disease-modifying treatment in thalassemia care, particularly for adults with persistent fatigue and low haemoglobin. Why Thalassemia Anaemia Has Been Hard to Treat Thalassemia is a genetic condition that reduces the body’s ability to produce healthy haemoglobin, limiting oxygen delivery to tissues and causing chronic anaemia. Many patients require lifelong transfusions to keep haemoglobin at safer levels. Over time, transfusion reliance can lead to iron build-up, raising risks of organ damage, and increasing the burden of chelation ther...

Dugesia Punensis

Image
  A groundbreaking discovery was made in Pashan Lake, Pune. A new species of planarian worm, named Dugesia punensis, was identified. This marks the first new planarian species recorded in India since 1983. The findings were published in the Records of the Zoological Survey of India. Characteristics of Dugesia PunensisDugesia punensis is a freshwater flatworm known for its remarkable regenerative abilities. This species measures between 8mm and 12mm in length. Its dorsal side is dark brown with a spotted appearance, while its ventral side is pale. The flatworm features slightly reduced auricles, an elongated pharynx, and gonopore. Its eggs are circular and reddish in colour. Auricular grooves surround two prominent black eyes. Regeneration Capabilities One of the most notable features of Dugesia punensis is its capacity for regeneration. The flatworm can completely regrow after starving for 15 to 20 days, demonstrating full regeneration within 10 to 13 days. This extraordinary abili...
