By Dr Vikesh Mutha, Mahavir Hospital, Kamshet Kamshet, Pune District: In today’s fast-paced life, many people ignore early warning signs of disease until it becomes serious. One simple, non-invasive tool that can detect problems at an early stage is sonography (ultrasound scanning) . According to Dr Vikesh Mutha , from Mahavir Hospital, Kamshet , regular sonography has become a crucial part of modern preventive healthcare especially for pregnant women, abdominal complaints, and chronic illnesses. “Sonography is completely safe and radiation-free.

  By Dr Vikesh Mutha, Mahavir Hospital, Kamshet Kamshet, Pune District: Diabetes is no longer a disease of the cities  it has silently spread to rural and semi-urban regions too. Among its many complications, Diabetic Foot remains one of the most dangerous yet neglected conditions, warns Dr Vikesh Mutha , emergency and trauma care specialist at Mahavir Hospital, Kamshet . “Many diabetic patients ignore small wounds or blisters on their feet until they become infected. What starts as a small cut can quickly turn into a life-threatening situation,” says Dr Mutha. What Is a Diabetic Foot? A Diabetic Foot is a complication of long-term, uncontrolled diabetes where poor blood circulation and nerve damage (neuropathy) affect the feet. Because of reduced sensation, patients often fail to notice injuries, burns or ulcers allowing infection to spread rapidly. If untreated, this can lead to deep ulcers, gangrene, or even amputation.

Early diagnosis and timely treatment can make a crucial difference in survival and recovery, says Dr Vikesh Mutha , medical director at Mahavir Hospital, Kamshet . “The brain is the control centre of the body. Even a small tumour can have serious effects on speech, movement, or memory. Recognising symptoms early can save precious time  and life,” explains Dr Mutha. What Is a Brain Tumour? A brain tumour is an abnormal growth of cells within or around the brain. These can be: Benign (non-cancerous): Slow-growing, may not spread but can still cause pressure inside the skull. Malignant (cancerous): Aggressive, fast-growing and capable of invading nearby brain tissue. Both types can be life-threatening if not detected early, as the skull provides little space for swelling or ex...
