Recent medical news includes a study on the National Early Warning Score (NEWS) in India, highlighting its use for standardizing patient assessment and predicting outcomes. Other news includes the potential impact of Mediterranean diets on pelvic floor and sexual health, the link between low-calorie diets and psoriatic arthritis risk, and new findings on organ-specific aging and disease risk, according to News-Medical.net.  

Clinical Assessment

• National Early Warning Score (NEWS): A new study from India assessed the applicability of NEWS, a system that uses six vital signs (respiratory rate, oxygen saturation, blood pressure, pulse rate, level of consciousness, and temperature) to predict patient deterioration. The study found a correlation between high NEWS scores and mortality, though other factors like blood pressure and urine output also showed significance. 
• Clinical Judgement: While NEWS is a valuable tool for standardizing assessments and enabling prompt responses, it is meant to aid, not replace, clinical judgment. A healthcare professional should always be informed if a patient appears unwell, regardless of the score. 

Health and Lifestyle

• Diet and Health: A recent review suggests that Mediterranean-style diets can improve pelvic floor function and sexual health, as reported by News-Medical.net.
• Psoriatic Arthritis: Genetic studies indicate a potential link between low-calorie diets and an increased risk of developing psoriatic arthritis, notes News-Medical.net. 

Research and Technology

• Aging and Disease: New research using MRI age clocks is providing insights into how different organs age and how this may predict the onset of disease or influence longevity, according to News-Medical.net.
• Brain Function: The CogLinks model has revealed how the brain adapts to changing rules, a finding with implications for understanding neurological processes, as mentioned on News-Medical.net. 

News pamphlets are small printed items containing just a single news fact or event. Across Europe, they were an important means of distributing printed news in the era before periodicals (newspapers).

Every year, thousands of women across the world are diagnosed with breast cancer, many of them too late. Yet, what if just 10 minutes of your time could change that story? At Aster MIMS Calicut, we believe prevention isn’t just a choice; it’s a life-saving habit.

Why Early Detection Matters

Breast cancer, when detected early, is one of the most treatable cancers. A simple mammogram or clinical breast examination can identify changes in breast tissue long before symptoms appear.

A mammogram is a low-dose X-ray of the breast that helps detect even the smallest abnormalities, sometimes years before they can be felt. It’s a quick, safe, and highly effective screening tool that allows doctors to begin treatment early, increasing survival rates and improving quality of life.

Regular screening helps detect cancer in its earliest stages, often even before a lump can be felt. That means fewer complications, simpler treatments, and more hopeful outcomes.

The 10-Minute Commitment

A routine breast health check-up takes less than 10 minutes. It’s a small investment of time for something priceless, your life.

At Aster MIMS Calicut, our expert radiologists and women’s health specialists ensure that every screening is done with advanced digital mammography technology, compassion, and complete privacy, making your experience comfortable and reassuring.

Who Should Get Screened?

• Women aged 40 and above – Annual or biennial mammogram.
• Younger women with family history – Doctor-advised earlier screening.
• Anyone noticing changes – Lumps, pain, or nipple discharge shouldn’t be ignored.

If you fall into any of these groups, now is the right time to book your screening.

Aster MIMS Calicut’s Commitment

This Pink October, we’re reaffirming our mission to make breast cancer awareness more than a campaign, to make it a community movement. Through preventive screening camps, educational sessions, and women’s health initiatives, Aster MIMS Calicut continues to empower women with the knowledge and care they deserve.

Because sometimes, all it takes to save a life is 10 minutes of courage and care.
