Aiming to create awareness on blood stem cell donation and to encourage people to register themselves as a potential life saver, DKMS BMST Foundation India conducted a blood stem cell donor registration drive at IIT Roorkee from October 14 to 16 during the `Thomso22` student fest. Over 400 students registered as potential donors during the three-day awareness and donor registration drive organized by DKMS BMST Foundation India. DKMS-BMST a non-profit organization dedicated to the fight against blood cancer and blood disorders. In India, many blood cancer patients are children and young people whose only chance of recovery is a stem cell transplant. For a successful stem cell transplant patient need to find an HLA (Human Leukocyte Antigen) matched donor. Only about 30% of the patients in need of a stem cell transplant can find matching donor from within their family, the rest 70% depend on finding a matching unrelated donor. Patrick Paul, CEO, DKMS BMST Foundation India, says, “Patients and donors of Indian origin have unique HLA characteristics that are severely under-represented in the global database, which makes the probability of finding a suitable donor even more difficult. Successful blood stem cell transplant needs a perfect HLA tissue match. The representation of Indian population in the registry is minimal. India, being a young country, our aim is to raise greater awareness about blood stem cell donation through students.” Nitin Sahu, Convener Thomso`22and PG Student, IIT Roorkee, says “I am glad that Thomso`22 collaborated with DKMS-BMST as its official social initiative partner to promote young and healthy people to come forward and donate blood cells and help save lives. DKMS-BMST `s vision and mission of fighting against blood cancer and blood disorders are appreciable. They aim to improve the situation of patients with blood cancer and other blood disorders in India and throughout the world by raising awareness about blood stem cell transplantation and registering potential blood stem cell donors.” Rohit, a 33-year-old resident of Kanpur, who recently saved a life by donating his blood stem cells was also present to share his experience and inspire students to register. DKMS-BMST team also informed the students about the impact of stem cell donation and transplantation on those who are diagnosed with blood cancer. Patrick Paul added, “We are thankful to IIT Roorkee and its students for helping us organize the registration drive. DKMS-BMST aims to organize many such awareness drives and registration drives across the country at colleges and universities specially targeting the youth crowd, because they remain in the registry for longer period and there is higher chance of getting their stem cell matched quickly.” To register as a potential stem cell donor, you must be a healthy Indian adult between 18 to 50 years of age. When you are ready to register, all you need to do is complete a consent fororm and swab the inside of your cheeks to collect your tissue cells. Your tissue sample is then sent to the lab, to be analyzed and listed anonymously on the international search platform for matching stem cell donors. Today, more than 39 million potential unrelated donors are listed worldwide with stem cell donor centers and registries, of which only 0.04% are Indians. This situation can only be changed by recruiting many potential blood stem cell donors from India. If you`re eligible, take the first step to register as a blood stem cell donor by ordering your home swab kit at www.dkms-bmst.org/register

Nissan has announced that it is studying the feasibility of two of its most popular global models for the dynamic Indian market. Confirming that testing has begun on the X-Trail and Qashqai, while at the same time showcasing the Juke, Nissan aims to assess their suitability for the rapidly evolving Indian consumer base. Focusing specifically on their adaptability to Indian roads and differing terrains, the tests will assess each vehicle`s ability to meet customers` needs. Starting this month, the vehicles are being put through their paces by Nissan`s top engineers on the roads that surround the company`s manufacturing plant in Chennai. “The Indian market has boundless potential, and it is critical that we introduce the best vehicle line-up to align with what modern Indian consumers want and need,” said Frank Torres, President, Nissan India. “Following the success of the Nissan Magnite in India, we plan to strengthen our focus and leverage our expertise on high-quality SUVs that have become synonymous with our reputation.” Over the coming weeks, Nissan will be identifying the feasibility of models from its global portfolio for the future potential vehicle line-up in India.

The KPMG 2022 India CEO Outlook which asked more than 125 CEOs in India about their strategies and outlook, reveals that 58 per cent of leaders in India as well as globally expect a recession to be mild and short. Pandemic fatigue, economic factors- including the threat of rising interest rates, inflation and anticipated recession and reputational risk, top the list of most pressing concerns for CEOs in India today. Over the next year, 66 per cent CEOs in India compared to 86 per cent globally anticipate a recession to hit, with 86 per cent CEOs in India compared to 71 percent CEOs globally predicting it will impact company earnings by up to 10 percent. 62 per cent CEOs in India compared to 73 per cent globally believe that a recession will upend anticipated growth.

Sharing his views, Yezdi Nagporewalla, CEO, KPMG in India, said “Be it the business ecosystem, or supply chain or issues pertaining to talent, the magnitude of these challenges has altered dramatically and what matters is how agile business leaders are to respond. CEOs in India surveyed appear confident in their organisation`s resilience, they also seem to have prepared themselves to make the most of the current environment, brought on by the promise of technology, talent and ESG.” “With the increasing pace of change and transformation, CEOs in India have accepted and adapted to the current needs of the modern workforce. It is indeed, heartening to note that CEOs in India are looking to increase measurement and governance to build a more robust and transparent approach towards driving a long-term ESG agenda” Additional Findings : Anticipated recession driving talent freezes With continued economic turmoil, there are signs the Great Resignation could be cooling down, with 33 per cent CEOs in India compared to 39 percent of CEOs globally having already implemented a hiring freeze, and 47 per cent CEOs in India compared to 46 percent CEOs globally considering downsizing their workforce over the next six months. But when CEOs take a longer-term view, 79 per cent CEOs in India and globally expect their organisation`s headcount to increase over the next three years Uncertainty fueling long-term digital transformation The current uncertainty is driving CEOs in India to continue to prioritize digital transformation with 61 per cent CEOs in India compared to 72 per cent CEOs globally agreeing they have an aggressive digital investment strategy, intended to secure first-mover or fast-follower status In the longer-term, little less than a quarter (23 per cent) CEOs in India believe that advancing digitalization and business connectivity is also vital to achieving growth objectives over the next three years. 57 per cent CEOs in India also agree that their organization`s digital and ESG strategic investments are inextricably linked. The anticipated recession may also be pushing businesses to reconsider their strategies. 50 per cent CEOs in India compared to 37 per cent CEOs globally plan to pause or reduce their digital transformation strategy in the next six months. 28 per cent CEOs in India compared to 40 per cent CEOs globally have already paused or reduced their digital transformation strategies Evolving focus toward reputational and technological risks Emerging/disruptive technology has landed as the top risk to organisational growth over the next three years for both CEOs in India as well as globally.

On the occasion of “World Trauma Day” on October 17th, Paediatric trauma experts raise concerns about safety regulations for children to prevent life-threatening injuries. Paediatric trauma experts from Bangalore and Chennai shared the reports of the research of the profile of critically injured children as part of a multi-centre observational study – TRIP study (Trauma Research in Paediatrics). Experts from St John`s Medical College, Aster RV Hospital and Aster CMI Hospital, Rainbow children Hospital (Marathalli), Bangalore Baptist Hospital, Sparsh Hospital (Yeshwantpur) from Bangalore and Apollo children`s Hospital, SRMC, SIMS (Vadapalani), KKTCH and ICH from Chennai were part of the study. The study spanning over 2 years with data collection from July 2020 to September 2022 showed nearly 260 critically injured children were admitted to the paediatric intensive care during this time in 10 centres that participated in the study. Key findings of the TRIP study: 1. 45% of them were under the 5 years age group, followed by 20% in 5-10 years. 2. 70% of the injured kids were males. 3. Road Traffic accidents and falls from height >10ft top the list of critical head injuries 4. Spillage of hot liquids and electricity burns common in critical burns admissions 5. Majority 64% were brought by ambulance to the trauma centre, but a significant number arrived in their own vehicles or autos without medical supervision 6. 10% of critically injured children died during hospitalization 7. Interventions such as the need for Oxygenation (16%) and intubation and ventilation (17%) on arrival and a further 20% requiring immediate airway and breathing stabilization in ER following arrival were noted. 8. 28% of critically injured children required blood product transfusion of which 7 children (2.6%) had massive transfusions for life-threatening bleeding. 9. Traumatic brain injuries were observed in 70% of cases of which 25% were of severe grade and 13 % of such children required emergency neurosurgery. Stressing the need to make optimum use of the golden hour, Dr Sujatha Thyagarajan, Lead of Paediatrics & Paediatric Intensive care at Aster RV Hospital, Bangalore, and the primary investigator of the TRIP study said “Injuries in children can be of variable severity, minor to life-threatening requiring specialist trauma services and intensive care services. Children have poor reserves to cope with severe injuries and hence c children need to be managed in the right place at the right time to provide good outcomes. There is a concept of golden hour and platinum minutes to save a life in trauma. However, the majority of the time, an injured child is taken to the nearest medical facility which may even be a clinic with the capacity for only First-aid care to multiple hospital facilities that lack paediatric trauma expertise. This can lead to severe time traps, especially to a critically injured child leading to devastating outcomes.” “Child safety is a priority especially at home to prevent falls from heights and accidental hot-liquid spillage or electrical burns in children.” quoted Dr. Lalitha A.V, Professor and HOD of PICU at St John`s Hospital, Bangalore and the Co-primary Investigator for TRIP study. “It is the collective moral responsibility of the public including parents, teachers, caregivers, and the government to protect children from life-threatening injuries which is a preventable cause of death.” Said Dr Lakshmi KS, PICU consultant at Bangalore Baptist Hospital. “There is an urgent need for up-regulating road safety standards especially involving motorbikes” said Dr Deepak, PICU Consultant at Rainbow Children`s Hospital, Marathalli, Bangalore. “Public vigilance and awareness are warranted to ensure the child is transferred safely via ambulance to the nearest pediatric trauma care center.” said Dr Anil M.U, PICU Lead at Sparsh Hospital, Yeshwantpur.

The Disease Poliomyelitis is a highly infectious disease that most commonly affects children under the age of 5. Most know it as poliovirus. The virus is spread person to person, typically through contaminated water. It can attack the nervous system, and in some instances, lead to paralysis. Although there is no cure, there is a safe and effective vaccine – one which Rotary and our partners use to immunize over 2.5 billion children worldwide. Who is Affected? Unless we eradicate polio, within 10 years, as many as 200,000 new cases could occur around the world each year. In the past few years, only two countries have reported cases of polio caused by the wild virus, but no child anywhere is safe until we’ve vaccinated every child.
