Dedicate a week every year to serve at Telangana govt hospitals: CM urges corporate doctors
Telangana Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy made an appeal to doctors working at corporate hospitals across the State and Indian-origin doctors settled abroad, urging them to dedicate at least one week every year to serve at government hospitals across the State. 'Even a week of your time spent at a government hospital in Telangana can change lives,' the Chief Minister said while addressing the gathering at the inauguration of a new 300-bed AIG Hospitals facility in Banjara Hills, Hyderabad on Wednesday (July 2, 2025). He highlighted that doctors based in the US, UK, and other countries often return home to visit their families, and even a single in-person consultation during such visits can significantly impact patients. 'That one consultation can help set a treatment course and lead to further digital follow-ups,' he said. Five new government hospitals by December 2025 The Chief Minister outlined the government's roadmap for strengthening public healthcare, with five new hospitals currently under development: Osmania General Hospital in Goshamahal, Telangana Institute of Medical Sciences (TIMS) in Alwal, Sanathnagar and LB Nagar, apart from the NIMS expansion and the super speciality hospital in Warangal. 'These hospitals will give a tough competition to corporate hospitals,' he said, adding that all the three TIMS, NIMS expansion and the Warangal hospital will be ready by December 2025. He further noted the need to improve air connectivity, particularly direct flights from the Middle East, to better serve international patients. Eye on global care work opportunities Looking beyond Telangana, Mr. Reddy announced plans to tap into the global caregiving economy, especially in countries like Japan, which is grappling with an aging population. 'India has the youngest population, and Japan has the oldest. We will train our professionals in medical caregiving skills and Japanese language to meet the growing demand there,' he said. The initiative is part of the State's broader economic vision Telangana Rising – 2047, which aims to transform Telangana into a $1 trillion economy over the next decade. 'If India aims for a $30 trillion economy by 2047, Telangana must do its part,' he added. AIG expands D. Nageshwar Reddy, chairman of AIG Hospitals, said the new Banjara Hills branch is a response to longstanding requests from residents of Secunderabad and central Hyderabad. 'This hospital addresses growing travel difficulties and will help patients access world-class care closer to home,' he said. Recalling the journey of AIG Hospitals, which began 25 years ago in Somajiguda as a 300-bed facility focused solely on gastroenterology, Dr. Reddy shared how a pivotal moment came with a visit by former Chief Minister Y.S. Rajasekhara Reddy. 'Seeing the overcrowding at our Somajiguda facility, he told us, 'We will give you land, go and build the best hospital in the world,'' Dr. Reddy recalled his conversation with the former Chief Minster. Since then, AIG has evolved into a nationally renowned institution, publishing over 1,000 scientific papers, contributing to 50 medical textbooks, training more than 1,500 medical professionals, and pioneering several techniques in gastroenterology.

IMA picks AIIMS Mangalagiri joint supdt for national award
Vijayawada: The Indian Medical Association (IMA) has selected Dr Desu Rammohan, head of the administration and joint superintendent at the All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) in Mangalagiri, for its prestigious national award. In a communication, IMA national secretary Dr Sarbari Dutt said that the prestigious national award will be presented on the occasion of national doctors' day celebrated every year on July 1, in memory of Dr. BC Roy. Dr Rammohan completed his MBBS from Guntur Medical College in 1994, followed by an MD in hospital administration from NIMS, Hyderabad, in 1998, and a DNB in health administration in 1999. He has served in various capacities at NIMS, Hyderabad, Care Hospital, and Narayana Medical College and Hospital in Nellore.

New Method to Blend Functions for Soft Electronics
Mixing two or three alkyl-pi liquids can achieve the right combination of functions for soft electronics TSUKUBA, JAPAN - June 18, 2025 ( NEWMEDIAWIRE ) - Soft electronics are an exciting and innovative class of technology that brings together bendable, stretchable semiconducting materials for applications in areas ranging from fashion to healthcare. Researchers have recently developed a new technique to adjust the properties of liquids that could be used to create soft electronics. Room-temperature alkylated-pi molecular liquids (known as alkyl-pi liquids) are an exciting new material that holds great promise for soft electronics. However, one challenge with these fascinating liquids lies in fine-tuning their physical, chemical, and electronic properties – including their ability to interact with light – to achieve the desired functionality. A new study, led by researchers from the National Institute of Materials Science (NIMS) in Tsukuba, Japan, has explored a strategy for blending together alkyl-pi liquids to merge their functions homogeneously. The researchers used photoluminescent color tuning to demonstrate how well the process has worked. Their findings have been published in the journal Science and Technology of Advanced Materials. Previous efforts to control the properties of alkyl-pi liquids have taken one of two approaches. The first involves incorporating small amounts of other molecules, such as dyes, into the liquid. 'When modulating function by adding solid dopants, the dopant molecules have poor solubility, leading to insoluble aggregates and inconsistencies in properties such as luminescent color,' says Dr. Takashi Nakanishi of the Research Center for Materials Nanoarchitectonics at NIMS. The second approach involves chemically modifying the alkyl-pi liquids. While this can achieve a uniform result, designing and synthesising entirely new molecules is difficult and less time- and cost-effective. In the new study, researchers synthesised three solvent-free alkyl-pi room-temperature liquids that fluoresced red, green, or blue light, and then they blended the liquids together in varying proportions. They successfully created a range of homogeneous liquid blends of colors with no color variation within the material, showing that the alkyl-pi liquids had merged evenly. The team also assessed how well the two liquids had mixed by changing the temperature and studying how the flow of the mixed liquids changed over time at different temperatures. This approach further confirmed that the liquids were successfully blended together. 'The liquid–liquid blending method implemented in this study for alkyl-pi liquids facilitates the production of low-volatility, ink-like materials that exhibit a diverse spectrum of uniform luminescent colors, devoid of any color unevenness,' Dr. Nakanishi says. 'This means it will be possible to apply or coat the desired function with simple operations such as painting, sandwiching, or soaking the liquid materials wherever needed.' The research opens the path to blending alkyl-pi liquids to vary other functions, such as photoconductivity, charge retention, or gas sensing.
