RSS volunteers offer crucial services at Puri
BHUBANESWAR: Continuing the tradition of dedicated service, volunteers of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) once again stepped up during the grand Rath Yatra in Puri, offering crucial support in managing the massive turnout of devotees in the city. From clearing paths for ambulances to assisting elderly people, the volunteers in association with Utkal Bipanna Sahayata Samiti (UBSS) provided nine different services to devotees this year. The volunteering drive was formally inaugurated by the Sangh's Sahakshetra Pracharak (Purva Kshetra) Jagdish Prasad Khadanga in presence of Kshetra Sampark Pramukh Bidyut Mukherjee, Vishwa Hindu Parishad leader Prafulla Kumar Mishra and UBSS president Akshay Kumar Bitt at UBSS's primary health centre in Puri. The volunteers formed a human chain, carving out a dedicated ambulance corridor through dense crowd, to provide prompt medical care during the chariot festival. They also provided services like first-aid, carrying devotees who fell sick in the crowd to the ambulance on stretchers, taking them to the hospital and helping the injured with doctor consultation.

IND vs ENG: 'Yes, my Test average hurts, but I don't chase numbers now'- KL Rahul
India's KL Rahul (AP Photo/Scott Heppell) Continuing his remarkable record in challenging SENA (South Africa, England, New Zealand, Australia) conditions, Rahul crafted his third Test hundred on English soil — and sixth overall in SENA — to put India firmly in control of the opening Test. His 195-run partnership with Rishabh Pant pushed India's second innings lead to 370, setting England a daunting 371-run target. Reflecting on his form after the day's play, Rahul told Sky Sports that he no longer obsesses over numbers or milestones. 'I am just getting runs now. There was a time when I would get starts but not convert them into big scores, especially in Tests. I am much calmer in my head and not chasing numbers anymore. I just want to enjoy my cricket as much as I can,' he said. Go Beyond The Boundary with our YouTube channel. SUBSCRIBE NOW! He also credited former India assistant coach Abhishek Nayar for playing a key role in reviving his approach. 'I have spent a lot of time with him in the last 15-18 months. I went back to basics. Earlier, I focused too much on quality over quantity and did not spend enough time hitting balls. Now, I enjoy spending long hours in the nets,' Rahul added. 09:02 Greenstone Lobo predicts winner of IND vs ENG series | Who Has the Astrological Edge? Rahul's purple patch extends across formats. He starred as India's dependable No.5 during the 2023 ODI World Cup, amassing 452 runs, including India's fastest World Cup ton — a 62-ball century against the Netherlands. Post-World Cup, he embraced the finisher's role, delivering crucial runs during India's ICC Champions Trophy triumph, where he averaged a staggering 140 in four innings. In the IPL too, Rahul rediscovered his aggressive best, scoring 539 runs at a strike rate of nearly 150, his best since 2018 while opening and batting in the top order for Delhi Capitals. After a stint as a middle-order bat, Rahul has returned to his preferred Test opening slot with renewed consistency. Since the Australia tour, he has scored 431 runs in five Tests at an average nearing 48, including this latest Leeds masterclass. Quiz: Who's that IPL player? Despite a career Test average of 34.70, Rahul says he no longer lets statistics cloud his focus. 'Of course, it hurts when I look at my average. But at this stage, I don't want to think about numbers. I want to make an impact whenever I get a chance and enjoy playing Test cricket for India and it's what I grew up loving,' he said. Looking ahead to the final day, Rahul expects a gripping contest as India defends a stiff target. 'When the match started, it looked like a batting paradise and I thought it would be a draw. But now, there's enough wear and tear and the cracks are opening up. It's a perfect day-five wicket and it's going to be a blockbuster,' he said. At stumps on day four, England were 21 for no loss, with Zak Crawley and Ben Duckett navigating six tricky overs without a hiccup. The pair added quick runs to keep the chase alive, leaving the hosts needing 350 more for what would be a record chase at Headingley. Earlier, India's lower order once again faltered, collapsing from 349/6 to 364 all out in under five overs, with only Ravindra Jadeja and the tail adding quick runs at the end. The top five, however, were outstanding — racking up five centuries between them and scoring 721 of India's total runs in the Test. With Pant's twin centuries and Rahul's controlled ton, India hold the advantage heading into what promises to be a riveting final day at Leeds.

Panaji: The anti-narcotic cell arrested a native of Pune for allegedly being in possession of dangerous methamphetamine worth Rs 6.8 lakh. He arrived in Goa to distribute drugs in the party circuit. 'The accused, identified as Krushna Sonkellu, 28, from Dapodi, Pune, was arrested on Saturday evening during a narcotic raid at Chopdem,' deputy superintendent of police (dySP) ANC Nerlon Albuquerque said.

Third Expansion of IDEXX's Catalyst Platform in Under a Year Delivers Critical Insights to Veterinarians Evaluating Canine Patients for Endocrine Disorders
WESTBROOK, Maine, June 5, 2025 /CNW/ -- IDEXX Laboratories, Inc. (NASDAQ: IDXX), a global leader in pet healthcare innovation, today announced the launch of the Catalyst ® Cortisol Test, which measures real-time quantitative cortisol concentrations to support the diagnosis of Addison's disease and diagnosis and management of Cushing's syndrome in dogs. IDEXX's Catalyst Cortisol Test is the third menu expansion in under a year for the Catalyst platform, further advancing the diagnostic capabilities available to veterinary practices at the point-of-care. Addison's disease, often called "the great pretender," is a life-threatening condition caused by low cortisol and is difficult to diagnose due to its common and nonspecific clinical signs that can resemble those of other illnesses, such as gastroenteritis or kidney disease. Early detection is critical, as timely treatment can be lifesaving. Cushing's syndrome, driven by excess cortisol, is a common endocrine disorder in older dogs, and certain breeds are at an increased risk. Cushing's syndrome requires long-term management, and if left untreated, it can significantly diminish quality of life. IDEXX's Catalyst Cortisol Test enables veterinarians to confidently and accurately diagnose or rule out Addison's disease and Cushing's syndrome during the patient visit, allowing for immediate treatment or adjustments to ongoing care management. This workflow efficiency continues throughout the patient journey with monitoring capabilities that enable tailored treatment adjustments, improving long-term care for patients with Cushing's syndrome. "The Catalyst Cortisol Test is an accurate and highly requested test that addresses a critical need for our customers and equips veterinarians with built-in results interpretation for prompt action, supporting better health outcomes for dogs," said Jay Mazelsky, President and Chief Executive Officer of IDEXX. "Continuing to expand the Catalyst platform reinforces our Technology for Life promise, offering our customers solutions that advance in capabilities over time to expand clinical insights and care delivery at the point-of-care." The IDEXX Catalyst Cortisol Test features: Accuracy: Provides quantitative results in-clinic that align with IDEXX Reference Laboratories, enabling veterinarians to confidently diagnose or rule out Addison's disease and Cushing's syndrome. Interpretive guidance: Integrates with the IDEXX Vetlab ® Station and VetConnect ® PLUS, providing results-specific interpretation in real-time during the patient visit. Efficiency: The Catalyst Cortisol Test's load-and-go workflow can run alone or with additional chemistry tests using a single sample for comprehensive diagnostic insights into patient health status. This workflow saves hands-on sample preparation time for veterinary technicians and ensures repeatable results. "A reliable in-house test is game-changing—it enables faster diagnosis and treatment of a life-threatening Addisonian crisis in dogs," said Patty Lathan, VMD, MS, DACVIM (SAIM).* "Additionally, by delivering accurate results during the visit, it supports timely care and streamlines daily workflows for busy veterinary teams." The Catalyst Cortisol Test will be available in the U.S. and Canada at the end of July 2025, with a global rollout to the installed base of more than 75,000 Catalyst chemistry analyzers expected to start in the third quarter of 2025.
