Former White Sox closer Bobby Jenks dies of adenocarcinoma: All about this aggressive stomach cancer
Source: X/@BostonStrong_34 Bobby Jenks, the flame-throwing closer who helped lead the Chicago White Sox to their historic 2005 World Series victory, has died at the age of 44. The White Sox confirmed his passing on Friday in Portugal, where Jenks had moved to be closer to his in-laws. He had publicly revealed in February that he was battling stage 4 gastric adenocarcinoma, a serious and advanced form of stomach cancer. 'Bobby was an iconic member of our White Sox family,' said White Sox Chairman Jerry Reinsdorf in a statement honoring the two-time All-Star. What is adenocarcinoma ? Adenocarcinoma is a type of cancer that originates in glandular epithelial cells—cells that line the inside of many organs and secrete fluids like mucus and digestive juices. It is a subtype of carcinoma, which is the most common class of cancer overall. Adenocarcinomas can form solid tumors and are capable of spreading (metastasizing) to other parts of the body. Common organs affected by adenocarcinoma include: stomach, colon and rectum, lungs, breast, esophagus, pancreas, and prostate. What causes adenocarcinoma? The exact cause of adenocarcinoma can vary, but it generally develops when glandular cells begin to mutate and divide uncontrollably. Over time, these abnormal cells form tumors and invade nearby tissues. Several risk factors may increase a person's chances of developing adenocarcinoma: Tobacco use (smoking or vaping) Heavy alcohol consumption Obesity (BMI over 25) Family history of cancer Exposure to environmental toxins Previous radiation therapy While not all tumors formed in glandular tissue are cancerous (non-cancerous ones are called adenomas), malignant tumors that invade healthy tissue and spread are known as adenocarcinomas. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like They Were So Beautiful Before; Now Look At Them; Number 10 Will Shock You Reportingly Undo Bobby Jenks battled gastric adenocarcinoma Bobby Jenks was diagnosed with gastric adenocarcinoma, a cancer that originates in the mucus-producing glandular cells lining the inner stomach wall. Gastric cancer is often diagnosed at a late stage due to subtle early symptoms. Jenks had stage 4 gastric adenocarcinoma, which means the cancer had spread beyond the stomach to distant organs such as the liver, lungs, or lymph nodes. Symptoms of gastric adenocarcinoma Some of the symptoms that people need to look out for include: feeling full after eating only small amounts of food, persistent indigestion, heartburn, nausea, vomiting, difficulty swallowing, frequent stomach discomfort, unexplained weight loss, and bloating. These early warning signs of gastric adenocarcinoma are often subtle and easy to overlook, as they resemble common digestive issues. Thus the delayed diagnosis is a serious issue when it comes to gastric adenocarcinoma.

Technical staff gives wrong treatment to doctor on train
Patna: A senior govt doctor was allegedly administered the wrong treatment by a technical staff member, not a qualified physician, during her journey on the New Delhi-Patna Tejas Rajdhani Express, raising fresh concerns over the quality and oversight of medical assistance provided to passengers on trains. Dr Divya, head of the eye department at Bulandshahr District Hospital in Uttar Pradesh, was travelling to Patna on Saturday. Midway through the journey, she began experiencing gastric discomfort and dialled the railway helpline 139, requesting urgent medical assistance. According to Dr Divya, she received a call back from an official of the Prayagraj division under North Central Railway (NCR), who informed her that a fee would apply if she wanted medical attention. However, at Kanpur Central station that night, she was shocked when a technical staff member, not a qualified doctor, arrived to attend to her. "He administered an antibiotic, despite my symptoms being clearly related to gastric discomfort. When I identified myself as a senior medical professional and questioned the treatment, he remained silent but still insisted I pay Rs 350 for the visit and an additional Rs 32 for the medicines." by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Providers are furious: Internet access without a subscription! Techno Mag Learn More Undo She added that while no receipt was given for the consultation fee, she was sent a medicine bill via an instant messaging platform. "Even after repeated persuasion, I was not given a bill for the so-called doctor's visit," she said. Responding to the allegation, NCR's chief public relations officer Shashi Kant Tripathi said on Sunday, "The Railway Board has fixed Rs 100 as a nominal fee in some cases for a doctor's visit to attend to a patient on board. There is no such fee like Rs 350 for a doctor's visit. The railways will inquire into the matter." Dr Divya has lodged an online complaint with the Railway Board and NCR authorities. "I have demanded fair treatment for patients on trains and a complete check on this kind of extortion in the name of medical aid," she said.

Palwal CMO seeks s 15L bribe to let hospital operate, caught in sting op
Gurgaon: The state vigilance and anti-corruption bureau arrested Palwal's chief medical officer (CMO) after he was caught accepting a bribe of Rs 1 lakh at his official residence in a sting operation organised on Thursday night. Officials said Palwal resident Manohar, one of the three partners of Sunrise Trauma Hospital in the south Haryana district, complained to the state vigilance bureau last week that CMO Dr Jai Bhagwan was demanding a bribe of Rs 15 lakh to let the facility operate. Manohar alleged that the CMO threatened to shut down the facility by claiming that there were deficiencies in its functioning. The hospital, according to Manohar, was opened three months ago by him and two others – Dheeraj and Subhash.

A second tranche of Rs 1 lakh was given on July 2. The CMO was allegedly pressuring the hospital owner to pay the remaining bribe by saying he had to pay the share of other senior officers too. Manohar said he had limited resources and decided to approach the vigilance department and use Rs 1 lakh as bait for the sting operation. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Beachfront Living in Mumbai at Sunteck Beach Residences Sunteck Realty Learn More Undo On Thursday night, an SVACB team from Gurgaon laid a trap as Manohar, equipped with covert recording devices and body-worn cameras, went to the CMO's house. Dr Bhagwan was arrested as soon as he took the cash. SVACB also carried out a search at the house and found cash worth Rs 3 lakh in a cupboard there. "A case has been registered against the accused under Section 7 of the Prevention of Corruption Act and Section 308(2) (extortion) of BNS. Further investigation is underway," a member of the SVACB said on Friday. Sources told TOI that the CMO may have sought bribes related to administrative permissions or contractual clearances under the health department. Investigators are looking into the possibility of the involvement of other officials in the district health department. Dr Bhagwan has been suspended in the past after being accused of serious allegations. In 2020, while he was the Jind CMO, Dr Bhagwan was suspended after a departmental probe found irregularities in the recruitment of ayurvedic medical officers. He was accused of manipulating vacancy declarations and bypassing merit-based selections. The same year, while serving as the civil surgeon in Kaithal, he led a raid on a diagnostics centre suspected of conducting illegal prenatal sex determination tests. But the officer was suspended soon after, following a complaint filed by a local BJP MLA. His suspension triggered statewide protests, with the Haryana Civil Medical Services Association calling it unjust and punishment for his efforts to curb illegal practices. Dr Bhagwan, during his stint as the Gurgaon CMO, was accused of molestation by a nurse in 2018. Then, in 2021, as Sonipat's principal medical officer, an FIR for molestation was registered against him after a doctor alleged that he had sent her obscene messages. He was suspended by the health department a third time.
