Angiography: Purpose, Necessity, and Difference from Angioplasty

As part of a new volunteer initiative called '2 Ghante Desh Ke Naam,' twenty-seven doctors from various areas of Delhi have pledged to provide two hours of free consultation weekly to needy and underprivileged patients.

This program aims to bridge gaps in access to specialized medical care. It is designed to cover patients from low-income families, residents of rural areas, and urban slums who often postpone treatment due to financial difficulties or lack of access to specialists.

In addition to consultations, the doctors will also provide assistance in the form of treatment recommendations and follow-up care, if necessary. Patients can register directly with participating specialists using dedicated contact numbers provided for each specialty. After registration, they will undergo screening and be scheduled for an appointment.

Doctors at Sadar Hospital in Ranchi reported on Saturday that Devendra Nath Mahto, leader of the Jharkhand Loktantrik Krantikari Morcha party, is suffering from electrolyte imbalance. Medical staff expressed serious concern over the health of this student leader, who has been on a hunger strike for fifteen days.

Former boxer Richard Colón has died at the age of 33. His death occurred eleven years after he suffered severe brain injuries during a bout.

The Puerto Rican athlete was an rising star in boxing until after his fight with American boxer Terrell Williams in 2015, when he fell into a coma for 221 days. Williams won the super heavyweight division in October 2015 by judge's decision due to disqualification in the ninth round, as Colón's team took his gloves, citing dizziness.

During this match, Richard Colón claimed that Williams repeatedly hit him on the back of the head using a technique banned in boxing, known as 'rabbit punches.' Following a complaint about one of Williams' punches, the match referee awarded Colón one point as a penalty.

Richard Colón collapsed upon returning to the locker room, was diagnosed with a subdural hematoma, and underwent emergency brain surgery, after which he fell into a coma. Upon waking from the coma, it became clear that the full extent of Colón's neurological damage required round-the-clock care for the rest of his life.

His father, Richard Colón, confirmed his son's death late Thursday evening on Facebook, writing: 'I am sad to announce the passing of my son Richard from this earthly world. He is now living in a better world.'

Richard Colón, who passed away at home in Florida surrounded by family, had an undefeated boxing record of 16 fights, 13 of which ended in a knockout, before facing Williams. This match in Fairfax, Virginia, long raised concerns about the safety of the sport.

Williams, who was a star at the time with a record of 15-0 and 12 knockouts, fought again in 2017 and 2019, but stated that the events following the fight with Colón affected his life and career. Immediately after the fight, Williams, then 31 years old, told The Los Angeles Times: 'My heart and stomach dropped. I pray for him several times a day to fully recover. I cannot enjoy this victory. I worry about Richard.'
