Jayadeva hosp in Mysuru to build dormitory for patients' attendants
2
Mysuru
: Sri Jayadeva Institute of Cardiovascular Sciences and Research, commonly known as
Jayadeva Hospital
, currently treats nearly 300 inpatients daily. It is renowned for its expert cardiologists and high-quality medical care.
Patients from across the district, and even from other districts, travel to the hospital for treatment.
However, until now, attendants accompanying these patients faced considerable difficulties due to lack of proper accommodation facilities.
Recognising their plight, the hospital initiated the construction of an 80-bed dormitory within its campus to provide basic yet dignified accommodation for attendants.
This facility is being built at an estimated cost of Rs 4.5 crore and is expected to be completed within a year.
Many attendants of patients were forced to spend the night in hospital corridors or open spaces due to the absence of designated lodging.
Dr KS Sadanand, medical superintendent of Jayadeva Hospital, brought this issue to the notice of Dr KS Ravindranath, director of the institute. He immediately took it up further and made this project happen.

The result is a dormitory project that aims to provide affordable and safe accommodation for over 80 attendants.
Dr Sadanand said, "The number of patients coming to the hospital is increasing rapidly. We currently have an inpatient capacity of 250 to 300. While we provide the best quality treatment to patients, there were no facilities for their attendants. Many were staying in hospital corridors," he said. After observing their hardship, we proposed the construction of a dormitory.
The 80-bed facility will be a great relief to them.
We plan to charge a very nominal fee for the facility," he said.
Once completed, the dormitory will ease the burden on patient families, offering them a clean and secure place to stay while their loved ones undergo treatment.
Welcoming the initiative, A Deepu said, "The patients' attendants who used to stay overnight had a tough time at the hospital. With this new facility, they will definitely feel more comfortable. Whenever a hospital plans for inpatients, they should also consider planning for dormitory facilities."

Health alert: Scientists discover plastic particles inside sperm and ovaries in alarming new research
First, it was air and water, then the placenta, brain, and even testicles. Now, minute fragments of plastic called microplastics are being found inside human reproductive fluids , prompting new questions about fertility and health. At the 41st annual meeting of the European Society of Human Reproduction and Embryology (ESHRE) in Paris on July 2, Spanish researchers revealed that microplastics were present in 69 percent of follicular fluid samples (taken from 29 women) and 55 percent of semen samples (from 22 men). Microplastics are polymer fragments that range in size from less than 0.2 inches (5 millimetres) to 1/25,000th of an inch (1 micrometre). Polymers are chemical compounds with long chains of large and repetitive molecular units called monomers, and are known for being flexible and durable. Most plastics are synthetic polymers. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Cheap Cyprus Holiday Packages From The UK (Take A Look) BestSearches | Search Ads Undo 'These aren't isolated findings, it's widespread,' said Dr. Emilio Gómez-Sánchez, lead researcher from Next Fertility Murcia. The most common polymer detected was polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), better known as nonstick cookware coating, found in nearly one-third of women's samples and just over 40 percent of men's. Other plastics like polyethylene, polyurethane, polyamide, PET, polypropylene, and polystyrene also turned up in more than half of the female samples and over half of the male samples. Live Events Dr. Matthew Campen, a researcher at the University of New Mexico who previously detected microplastics in the brain and testicles, commented that the new findings are a warning light. 'It sets the stage for more advanced studies on plastics exposure and reproductive fitness,' he warned. But experts are quick to urge calm. 'There's no reason to panic,' Gómez‑Sánchez emphasized. 'Exposure isn't the only piece of a complex fertility puzzle,'. Still, the researchers intend to expand the study and examine whether microplastics might affect sperm or egg quality. How do microplastics enter the body? Microplastics enter the body through ingestion, inhalation, and even skin contact. Once in the bloodstream, they migrate throughout the body, lodging in organs, including reproductive ones. Studies in animals show microplastics can generate inflammation, DNA damage, free radicals, and hormonal disruption. But scientists stress that to date, there's no proven effect on human fertility. As a precaution, experts suggest skipping plastic containers and bottles. especially when heating food and opting for glass, steel, or bamboo alternatives.

Know the scary truth behind the caveman skincare routine that everyone's talking about
(Image Credits: Pinterest) Building a good skincare routine isn't just about picking the right products, it's also about using them in the right order and at the right time. Everyone's skin is different, so it's important to choose ingredients that actually work for your skin type. But have you ever heard of a skincare routine that requires zero products, zero applications? Sounds crazy, right? But there's actually a growing trend that's just that: no soap, no cream, no moisturizer, no serum, absolutely nothing on your skin. It's called the 'caveman skincare routine,' and it's been stirring up quite a buzz online. (Image Credits: Pinterest) In today's world of viral trends, the caveman routine has become the latest talk of the town, all thanks to a 22-year-old TikTok creator named Zakher. After trying tons of products that didn't help, and even dealing with skin picking, inflammation, and acne, she decided to hit the reset button by putting nothing on her skin at all. No washing, no cleansing, just bare skin. Top 10 tips for achieving acne-free clear skin The idea? To let the skin heal itself, just like our Stone Age ancestors supposedly did. For a couple of weeks, Zakher stuck to this routine, but her skin got flaky and textured, so she gave up. Then, after doing some research, she tried it again and noticed some improvements. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 中年以降であれば、このゲームは必須です。 BuzzDaily Winners ゲームをプレイ Undo Sounds intriguing, but dermatologists aren't convinced Experts warn that this 'no skincare' approach is a red flag. Sure, Zakher said her dead skin wasn't shedding properly, but skipping cleansing and moisturizing is not a great idea, especially if you want to keep your skin healthy. Water and gentle cleansing are super important to remove sweat, dirt, pollution, and bacteria. Ignoring basic hygiene can lead to inflammation, infections, and worsen skin problems. (Image Credits: Pinterest) This routine is especially risky for Indian skin, which is more prone to pigmentation and acne because of constant exposure to sun and pollution. So, don't toss your cleansers and moisturizers just yet! Whether you're into K-beauty, J-beauty, or good old Indian home remedies, the basics should always stay the same: wash your face with a gentle cleanser, follow up with a moisturizer, and never forget sunscreen. That's your everyday holy trinity for clean, glowing skin, no caveman routine needed. Get the latest lifestyle updates on Times of India, along with Doctor's Day 2025 , messages and quotes!
