Russian doctors to use AI in telemedicine from September 1
Badma Bashankayev, first deputy chairman of the Russian parliament's healthcare committee, confirmed the changes. 'The new telemedicine rules are an evolution of this field. The core principle remains: first, an in-person check-up, then remote support. Now, doctors have more tools, including AI, provided the system is officially approved,' he told RIA Novosti.
The revised guidelines outline four telemedicine formats: consultations between doctors for emergency, urgent, and planned cases; remote diagnostic reporting; patient consultations; and remote health monitoring. Bashankayev emphasized that telemedicine prioritizes patient needs over technology.
'Telemedicine is about people—ensuring a provincial patient can consult a federal specialist quickly, or a district doctor gets expert advice for complex cases. It also helps chronic patients, especially post-surgery, avoid frequent hospital visits,' he explained.
The lawmaker stressed the importance of implementing these changes effectively. 'We must connect hospitals, train doctors, and upgrade technical infrastructure. Parliamentary oversight will ensure these updates truly benefit patients—focusing on convenience, accessibility, and quality,' he added. - BERNAMA-SPUTNIK/RIA NOVOSTI

Zayn Rayyan not neglected or abused, child psychologist tells court
Dr Noor Aishah Rosli, 49, the founder of the CPC International psychology clinic in Bandar Baru Bangi, confirmed that she had reviewed the reports provided by the defence. 04 Aug 2025 09:46pm Zayn Rayyan Abdul Matin's mother, Ismanira Abdul Manaf appeared at the Sessions Court today. - Bernama photo PETALING JAYA - A child psychologist testified in the Sessions Court today that the late Zayn Rayyan Abdul Matin had not been neglected or abused, as indicated by three medical reports from Selayang Hospital and Sungai Buloh Hospital. Dr Noor Aishah Rosli, 49, the founder of the CPC International psychology clinic in Bandar Baru Bangi, confirmed that she had reviewed the reports provided by the defence. When questioned by lawyer Haresh Mahadevan, Dr Noor Aishah said there was no evidence in the reports suggesting that Zayn Rayyan had suffered neglect or abuse. "The reports show no indication of neglect or abuse," the fifth defence witness said during examination-in-chief in the proceedings of Ismanira Abdul Manaf, who faces charges of child neglect involving Zayn Rayyan. Dr Noor Aishah elaborated on the definition of neglect, explaining that the American Psychiatric Association (APA) outlines various forms, including emotional, physical, and educational neglect. She emphasised that neglect must occur over a consistent period to be classified as such. "If a child misses lunch because the guardian is sick, it wouldn't be considered neglect. "But if the child consistently receives inadequate food and is expected to find food themselves, this could be classified as neglect,' she said. In relation to the amended charge against Ismanira, which refers to neglect causing potential physical injury to the child, Dr Noor Aishah pointed out that the use of the word "likely" in the charge implies uncertainty and does not definitively point to physical injury. When questioned whether the amended charge clearly indicated neglect by the accused, the witness responded that it was not specified in the charge. On July 21, Judge Syahliza Warnoh ordered Ismanira to enter her defence after the prosecution successfully established a prima facie case against the woman, while her husband, Zaim Ikhwan Zahari, 30, was acquitted and discharged. The couple was accused of neglecting their autistic son, Zayn Rayyan, in a manner likely to cause physical injury between noon on Dec 5 and 9.55 pm on Dec 6, 2023, in the vicinity of Block R, Idaman Apartment, Damansara Damai, extending to a nearby river. They were charged under Section 31(1)(a) of the Child Act 2001, read together with Section 34 of the Penal Code, which carries a maximum sentence of 20 years' imprisonment, a fine of up to RM50,000, or both, upon conviction. The trial continues tomorrow. - BERNAMA More Like This

Australia develops the world's first foot and mouth vaccine to protect livestock
CANBERRA (Bernama-WAM): A team of scientists in New South Wales has developed the world's first mRNA vaccine designed to protect livestock from foot-and-mouth disease (FMD), a highly contagious viral illness that poses a major threat to livestock. According to Emirates News Agency (WAM) this FMD vaccine is an mRNA vaccine which is unique in that it is fully synthetic, making it safer and much faster to produce. The development of this new vaccine is part of the Premier of New South Wales Chris Minns's Government's US$1 billion biosecurity plan, aimed at safeguarding New South Wales' US$8 billion livestock sector and reinforcing national food security. The vaccine has taken less than 18 months to develop and has cost about US$2.5 million. - Bernama-WAM

Kelantan ranks third for drug addiction in Malaysia with 11,280 cases
KOTA BHARU: Kelantan has recorded 11,280 drug addicts and abusers as of March 2025, marking it as the state with the third-highest rate of drug addiction in Malaysia. The National Anti-Drug Agency (AADK) reported 597 cases per 100,000 population, trailing behind Terengganu (663) and Perlis (609). AADK director-general Datuk Ruslin Jusoh noted a 5.4% decline compared to the previous year, attributing the improvement to integrated efforts such as enforcement crackdowns, preventive education, and tighter border controls. 'The closure of illegal entry points has helped curb the flow of prohibited substances,' he said after attending the State Drug Control Action Council Meeting. Amphetamine-Type Stimulants (ATS) accounted for 89.3% of cases (10,071 individuals), followed by opiates (6.8%), psychotropic pills (2.5%), and cannabis (0.4%). Ruslin emphasized ongoing collaboration with police, immigration, and customs to enhance prevention and rehabilitation programmes. - Bernama
