London, February 26: Spending too much of money on "brain trainers" to maintain mental agility may not be a very good idea anymore, for a new study suggests that the benefits such gadgets provide are almost the same amount as can be obtained by doing a crossword or surfing the internet.

Experts employed by a consumer group, known as Which?, say that there is not scientific evidence to prove that brain-training devices can help improve memory or stave off the risk of illnesses like dementia.

The drug is used to treat non-small cell lung cancer

 Intas Biopharmaceuticals Limited, India's leading Oncology drug marketing company, is launching pemetrexed in the Indian market under the brand name Pemmet. Pemetrexed is used to treat non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), the most common type of lung cancer caused primarily due to smoking and Mesothelioma, a cancer caused by Asbestos exposure.

Washington, Feb 26: Women who are fertile for more than 39 years and have natural menopause are at a lower risk of contracting Parkinson's disease, says a new study.

The study, which will be presented at the American Academy of Neurology's 61st Annual Meeting in Seattle, April 25 to May 2, 2009, provides evidence that longer exposure to the body's own hormones may protect women from the disease.

The indefinite strike of CGHS employees continued for the third consecutive day

The ongoing strike of the All India Central Government Health Scheme (CGHS) Employees' Association has put patients' lives in peril.

The indefinite strike across the country was launched on Monday.

Almost 400 patients turn up daily at the CGHS building located at Mukundnagar but they are being sent back.

All the seven dispensaries in the city remained closed for the third consecutive day. The CGHS pharmacists too have joined hands.

AB Patil, a CGHS pharmacist at Mukundnagar, said, "We are not going to give medicines till our demands are met."

Even after a delay of two years, the new building at SMS Hospital is far from completion

The new state-of-the-art outdoor patient department (OPD) of Sawai Man Singh hospital is still far from completion even though it was inaugurated in a hurry by former chief minister Vasundhara Raje on September 11 last year.

All the OPD and operation theatres of the SMS hospital were planned to be shifted in the new building but the project has been marred by the inordinate delay since inception. But now authorities of SMS hospital have once again given February 28 as the new date for the OPD to become operational.
