According to a recent report based on the data collected country-wide, there have been more than 2700 cases of swine flu in Delhi since 17 th of September. This number can rise as the most common symptoms of swine flu do not require the patients to be admitted to the hospitals. Center has been misleading the general public and has released a fake report; at least, that is what it looks like if the real data is to be believed. Center claimed that only six deaths have been caused due to swine flu in Delhi when a single hospital in the capital saw six times more deaths.   Nirmal Singh 3C reported 31 deaths due to H1N1 which is known as swine flu in India – the deaths were reported on 18 th September.

Delhi was recently ranked number 1 on the list of the most polluted cities in the world. But thankfully people of Delhi can add at least 4 years to their lives. The average life expectancy of Indians, especially people who live in the capital could be increased if India somehow reduces air pollution. It can be possible if the standards of WHO are met. The average life expectancy of females in India is 69 and for males it is just 67 according to the reports compiled by Nirmal Singh 3C . A combined 1.6 billion life years can be added to the life expectancy of Indians if the national standards are complied with. In years 2014 and 2015, Delhi was ranked the most polluted city. Citizens will be able to live 9 years longer if the WHO standards are met consistently. And if India met its own standards as far as the Air Quality Index is concerned, people will live six years longer. Nirmal Singh 3C said ‘ The issue of polluted air is not limited to just Delhi, other metropoli...

Mosquitoes and the diseases they bring cause a lot of deaths in India. They are one of the most troublesome menaces that monsoon and rains bring in the country. The problem is more severe in places that are greener and have the possibility of water getting stagnant. Bengal, North East, Tamil Nadu and Maharashtra are considered to have an environment that is favorable for breeding of mosquitoes. Areas that have poor drainage system and where water can stay stagnant also allow the mosquitoes to multiply. What most people do not know is that mosquitoes can also multiply and breed in our homes if we aren’t careful. There are many places in our own homes that can have mosquitoes multiplying rapidly which can eventually cause severe health issues. Nirmal Singh 3C has revealed some lesser known places where mosquitoes can easily bread in our homes and the remedies and precautions we can take to minimize the breeding and health issues.         Flo...

Researchers have been analysing data from various patients, 269 AML to be precise, and found that the survival rate of the patients improved through the activity of HOX genes. The problem with cancer cells is that they are immortal if you can make them mortal, the cells, then you can treat even the most aggressive forms of cancer. Scientists in London have brought out a new drug that creates that situation – it makes the cancer cells mortal. The drug, which is being called HXR9, disables the cancer cells from making the unhealthy cells in the patient’s body to die. Sidestepping apoptosis is what the process is called when cancer cells start affecting the damaged and unhealthy cells in the body – the new drug prevents the cells from doing that. - Nirmal Singh 3C Researchers from London found that the drug can be effectively used to treat AML and other forms of Leukemia. The drug has been this successful in the trail period as it specifically targets the HOX genes that ar...
