The Supreme Court on Monday grantedinterim relief to rebel Shiv Seva leaderEknath Shinde and other MLAs to filetheir reply to disqualification notices is-sued to them by the Deputy Speaker ofMaharashtra Assembly by July 12, 5.30pm. Earlier, the Deputy Speaker hadgranted them time to file a reply by to-day, 5.30 pm.

A vacation bench of Justices SuryaKant and JB Pardiwala, in its order, said,"As an interim measure, the time grantedby the Deputy Speaker, to the petitionersor other similarly placed MLAs to sub-mit their submissions today by 5.30 pm,stands extended till July 12. The peti-tioners or other MLAs are at liberty tosubmit their reply without prejudice totheir rights in the writ petition."

The top court has now posted thematter for hearing on July 11.

The apex court was hearing the peti-tions filed by the Shinde group challeng-ing the disqualification notices issued by

the Deputy Speaker to 16 rebel MLAs aswell as the appointment of Ajay Choud-hary as Shiv Sena Legislature Partyleader.

The bench also issued notices to theDeputy Speaker, Secretary of Maharash-tra State Legislative Assembly, the Cen-tre, Ajay Chaudhary, and Sunil Prabhuand asked them to file a reply within fivedays.

On the request of providing securityto 39 MLAs alleging threats to them, theSupreme Court recorded the statement ofthe standing counsel of the Maharashtragovernment, Rahul Chitnis, that ade-quate steps have already been taken andthe state government will further ensurethat no harm is caused to the life, liberty,property of the MLAs.

During the hearing, senior advocateNeeraj Kishan Kaul appearing for Ek-

nath Shinde and others told the SupremeCourt that the Deputy Speaker cannotproceed with the disqualification pro-ceedings when the resolution seeking hisremoval is pending. Maharashtra gov-ernment's standing counsel also ques-tioned the MLAs why they have not ap-proached the Bombay High Court withthe pleas. To this, Kaul responded that inany number of cases like floor test, ordisqualification, the Supreme Court hadpassed the order and also "a minority ofthe legislative party" is subverting thestate machinery, attacking MLAs' hous-es. They are saying that our dead bodieswill be returned from Assam, the atmos-phere is not conducive for us to exerciseour rights in Mumbai, Kaul added.Threats have been given to these MLAsand it was said that bodies of 40 MLAswill arrive back in Mumbai, he added.

On June 23, the high court reopened the lid onthe sensational murder of Sister Abhaya, the longestmurder case in the state’s history. On March 27, 1992,Sister Abhaya (21) was found dead inside a well onthe premises of the Pius X convent in Kottayam runby the Knanaya Catholic Church Archeparchy. Thecase, which went on with bizarre twists and turns for28 years, appeared closed in December 2020 when aspecial CBI court convicted and sentenced to life Fa-ther Thomas Kottoor (75) and Sister Sefy (59), bothbelonging to Abhaya’s Knanaya Catholic Church, formurdering the nun.

On Thursday, the division bench comprising Jus-tices K. Vinod Chandran and C. Jayachandran said inthe judgment, “We do not dwell on the circumstanceof lack of explanation or the bizarre ones of suicidegiven by the accused… On prima facie look at the ev-idence as pointed out by the defense and not effec-tively countered by the prosecution, we cannot but re-lease the two accused as an interim measure, sus-pending their sentence till the disposal of the appeal.”

Expressing happiness over the verdict, the secre-tary of Knanaya Archdiocese’s Pastoral Council saidit was delayed justice, adding that the accused hadbeen wrongly framed. At the same time, the activist,Jomon Puthenpurackal, who had campaigned forthree decades to bring the accused to book as the con-venor of the Abhaya Action Council, expressed shockand blamed the CBI for not filing a counter-affidavitagainst the bail applications. “I will move theSupreme Court,” he said. He also lambasted theKnanaya Church — to which he belonged like Ab-haya and the accused — for protecting the accusedand abandoning the slain nun. The whistleblower wasjust 22 years when he formed the Abhaya ActionCouncil a few days after the nun’s suspicious death.Now 52, he kept fighting the case in public, in courts,in media and so on until the 2020 verdict. He has alsopenned two books on the case.

Israel's unruly coalition has collapsed,throwing Netanyahu a new lifeline

The unruly Israeli eight-party coalitionof centre, left and right-wing parties aswell as an independent Arab party that

a year ago surprised almost everybody whenit succeeded in forming a government col-lapsed last week.

Israel will have to hold its fifth electionin three and a half years, while Likud leaderBenjamin Netanyahu, who is standing trialon corruption charges, has been thrown alifeline and a chance to return to power.

Yair Lapid, the current Foreign Ministerand the leader of Israel's second-largest par-ty Yesh Atid, will become the interim PrimeMinister and lead the country until next Oc-tober or November when the elections willbe held. It is noteworthy that Lapid allowedNaftali Bennett, leader of the much smallerYamina Party, to take the first turn as PrimeMinister.

In the previous elections, Netanyahu'sLikud party had won the most votes, but Ne-tanyahu did not manage to cobble togetherthe 61 seats necessary to form a governmentand so the mandate was given to Yair Lapid.To everyone's surprise, Lapid succeeded informing an eight-party coalition govern-ment, united basically by their distaste forNetanyahu. This coalition, however, hadonly a razor-thin majority in the Knesset (the120-member Israeli Parliament).

The coalition government collapsed be-cause three parliamentarians of Bennett'sYamina party left the coalition and becausethe government did not have enough votesto extend for another five years a law differ-entiating between Israeli settlers and Pales-tinians in the West Bank. If this law is notextended, the Israeli government will soonface a huge problem in policing the WestBank area. Seven Arab members of the Unit-ed Arab List (Ra'am), which was part of thegovernment coalition, refused to vote forthis Law and Prime Minister Naftali Bennettdecided that he had to step down. In his lastinterview as Prime Minister, Bennett at-

tacked Netanyahu and his Likud party "as adanger to the state of Israel," saying that it"was ready to burn the state if we don't giveit to them." He also stressed that "Ne-tanyahu's poison machine caught the weak-est links on the left and the right and workedtirelessly until the links broke."

It should be noted that Bennett's gov-ernment has succeeded in passing the budg-et- which had not been approved for threeyears- managed to avoid new lockdownsdue to the covid pandemic and avoided a bigescalation of tensions with Islamist Hamasthat rules the Gaza Strip as well as of thedangers of ethnic violence between Pales-tinians and Jews in the streets of several Is-raeli cities.

Yair Lapid, 58, who heads Yesh Atidwill serve as caretaker Prime Minister untilthe elections are held and until a governmentis formed- which is a rather long process, asthe electoral system gives disproportionateinfluence to small parties. The big partieshave to carry out difficult negotiations with

the small parties and promise to accept along list of demands in order to convincethem to join a coalition that would garner theminimum threshold of 61 Knesset membersto form a government.

Interim Prime Minister Lapid is a for-mer TV host who also served as finance andforeign minister. He is popular with secularmiddle-class Israelis and is seen domestical-ly as a centrist who supports negotiationswith the Palestinians, although he also de-scribed himself as a "security hawk."

Undoubtedly, Lapid will have to face alot of serious problems such as the escala-tion of the secret war between Israel andIran, find ways of dealing with rising Pales-tinian attacks on Israelis, without causing awar with Hamas, and restore good relationswith the United States, during President JoeBiden's visit to Israel next month. Ne-tanyahu's Likud party is once again expect-ed to emerge as the biggest party in the com-ing elections, but it is highly unlikely that itwill achieve the necessary majority of 61

Knesset members to form a government. So,it would have to form a coalition with the re-ligious parties, as it did in the past. Onceagain, elections will revolve around thequestion of whether Netanyahu is suitable tolead Israel, given that he is currently facingthree separate trials: one about receivingquite expensive gifts, another that he soughtpreferential treatment from a telecom com-pany and a third that he solicited favourablemedia coverage. Netanyahu denies breakingthe law. Once again Israel will be dividedbetween those who support Netanyahu, see-ing him as a great leader, the only politiciancapable of leading the country, and who arewilling to fight for him tooth and nail andthose who want to oust him because theyconsider him a danger to Israeli democracy.The latter see Netanyahu as somebody whosought to abolish the independence of theJudiciary, has encouraged right-wing ex-tremism and does not hesitate to resort todirty tricks and spread fake news to ensurehis political survival.

WHO boosts health responseafter Afghanistan quake

The World Health Organization(WHO) has said surveillanceof infectious diseases in the

earthquake-hit areas of Afghanistanhas been increased following warn-ings by local authorities that the sur-vivors are at risk of disease.

VOA News quoted Afghan offi-cials as saying that at least 1,150people were killed, many more wereinjured, and thousands of homeswere damaged or destroyed inWednesday’s powerful quake thatstruck the southeastern Afghanprovinces of Paktika and Khost,which some of the poorest and re-motest mountainous areas near thePakistani border.

The latest UN findings on Sun-day have revealed that at least 155children were among those killedand 250 children were injured by the

earthquake. The disaster has left 65orphaned or unaccompanied.

In response to Afghan health of-ficials request for help for food andmedicine amid the risk of infectiousdiseases, the WHO said, "WHO isincreasing surveillance of infectiousdiseases such as acute watery diar-rhea, measles, and COVID-19 by de-ploying disease surveillance andcontrol officers and distributingmedicines and supplies to health fa-cilities in anticipation of an increasein cases."

The statement noted thatAfghanistan is one of the two re-maining polio-endemic countries inthe world, along with Pakistan, andpolio staff are also contributing to re-lief efforts and supporting surveil-lance for other infectious diseases,VOA News reported.

Air pollution reductionhelps in brain dev of childrenAccording to a recent study, having a

portable air cleaner at home can helpin reducing the impact of air pollu-

tion on children's brain development.The findings of the research were pub-

lished in the journal 'Environmental HealthPerspectives'. Simon Fraser University re-searchers collaborated with U.S. and Mon-golian scientists to study the benefits of us-ing air filters to reduce exposure to air pol-lution during pregnancy and assessed theimpact on children's intelligence.

The researchers note that their random-ized controlled trial is the first study of itskind to document the impacts of air pollu-tion reduction on cognition in children.

Beginning in 2014, the team recruited540 pregnant women in Ulaanbaatar, Mon-golia to participate in the Ulaanbaatar Ges-tation and Air Pollution Research(UGAAR) study. Ulaanbaatar has some ofthe worst air quality in the world, well-ex-ceeding guidelines set by the World HealthOrganization (WHO).

The women were less than 18 weeksinto their pregnancies and non-smokerswho had not previously used air filtering de-vices in their homes. They were randomlyassigned to either the control or interventiongroup. The intervention group was provid-ed with one or two HEPA filter air cleanersand encouraged to run the air cleaners con-tinuously for the duration of their pregnan-cies. The air cleaners were removed fromthe home once the child was born.

The researchers later measured the chil-dren's full-scale intelligence quotient(FSIQ) at four years of age using theWeschler Preschool and Primary Scale of

Intelligence. They found that the childrenborn to mothers who had used the air clean-ers had an average FSIQ that was 2.8-pointshigher than the group that did not use an aircleaner during pregnancy.

"These results, combined with evidencefrom previous studies, strongly implicateair pollution as a threat to brain develop-ment," says Ryan Allen, professor of envi-ronmental health in SFU's Faculty of HealthSciences. "But the good news is that reduc-ing exposure had clear benefits."

Children in the intervention group alsohad significantly greater average verbalcomprehension index scores, which is con-sistent with results from previous observa-tional studies. The research suggests that achild's verbal skills may be particularly sen-sitive to air pollution exposure.

More than 90 per cent of the world'spopulation breathes air with particulatematter concentrations above the WHOguidelines.

Research discovers benefits of exerciseresulting in a new blood molecule

Scientists from Baylor College ofMedicine, Stanford School ofMedicine, and affiliated institu-

tions report that they have discovered ablood molecule that is created duringexercise and can significantly lowerfood intake and obesity in mice.

The findings of the research werepublished in the journal 'Nature'.

The findings improve our under-standing of the physiological processesthat underlie the interplay between ex-ercise and hunger.

"Regular exercise has been provento help weight loss, regulate appetiteand improve the metabolic profile, es-pecially for people who are overweightand obese," said co-corresponding au-thor Dr Yong Xu, professor of paedi-

atrics- nutrition and molecular and cel-lular biology at Baylor. "If we can un-derstand the mechanism by which ex-ercise triggers these benefits, then we

are closer to helping many people im-prove their health."

"We wanted to understand how ex-ercise works at the molecular level to

be able to capture some of its benefits,"said co-corresponding author JonathanLong, MD, assistant professor ofpathology at Stanford Medicine and anInstitute Scholar of Stanford ChEM-H(Chemistry, Engineering & Medicinefor Human Health).

"For example, older or frail peoplewho cannot exercise enough, may oneday benefit from taking a medicationthat can help slow down osteoporosis,heart disease or other conditions." Xu,Long and their colleagues conductedcomprehensive analyses of blood plas-ma compounds from mice followingintense treadmill running. The mostsignificantly induced molecule was amodified amino acid called Lac-Phe.

It is synthesized from lactate (a

byproduct of strenuous exercise that isresponsible for the burning sensation inmuscles) and phenylalanine (an aminoacid that is one of the building blocksof proteins). In mice with diet-inducedobesity (fed a high-fat diet), a highdose of Lac-Phe suppressed food in-take by about 50% compared to controlmice over a period of 12 hours withoutaffecting their movement or energy ex-penditure. When administered to themice for 10 days, Lac-Phe reduced cu-mulative food intake and body weight(owing to loss of body fat) and im-proved glucose tolerance. The re-searchers also identified an enzymecalled CNDP2 that is involved in theproduction of Lac-Phe and showed thatmice lacking this enzyme did not lose

as much weight on an exercise regimeas a control group on the same exerciseplan. Interestingly, the team also foundrobust elevations in plasma Lac-Phelevels following physical activity inracehorses and humans. Data from ahuman exercise cohort showed thatsprint exercise-induced the most dra-matic increase in plasma Lac-Phe, fol-lowed by resistance training and thenendurance training. "This suggests thatLac-Phe is an ancient and conservedsystem that regulates feeding and is as-sociated with physical activity in manyanimal species," Long said. "Our nextsteps include finding more detailsabout how Lac-Phe mediates its effectsin the body, including the brain," Xusaid.

alandhar; Many people would prefer to suffer silently rather than discuss their problem of urinary incontinence. JThe topic in addition to being embarrassing and

unpleasant, also suffers due to the common perception of it being a natural part of ageing. On the occasion of “World Continence Week”, which runs from June 20 to 26, we are here to encourage people to seek medical care for incontinence rather than neglecting their pain. Urinary incontinence is the leakage of urine, no matter how much or how often. Incontinence problems can lead to depression,

isolation, diminished self-esteem, and work-related difficulties. Incontinence can result from one or more problems like failure of the bladder to store urine, failure of the bladder to empty adequately, and even sensory problems, such as pain during bladder filling, or muscle degeneration with ageing that impairs proper bladder functioning.It’s better to seek urgent medical attention instead of suffering in silence. With the help of today’s medical advancements, doctors can take care of almost all the problems associated with urinary incontinence. There are various medications available, which can be started along with lifestyle changes to restore bladder control.

Heart patients in India have access to advanced techniques such as HD IVUS

allandhar :With the advancement of medical technologies in the country, Dr V. P. Sharma, Senior JInterventional Cardiologist & Director at Shrimann

Hospital, Jalandhar, urges heart patients in India to have better awareness and ask for many advanced technologies available today for superior cardiac care. Medical technologies are ever advancing and surgeons now advice cardiac procedures that are less invasive, less traumatic and reduce the chances of re- occurrence of cardiac events. So, stent deployment done under the guidance of Intravascular Ultrasound (IVUS), has better possibility of optimal result even in the most complex cases and better patient outcome.Referring to HD IVUS, Dr Sharma said “Intravascular Ultrasound (IVUS) allows us to see a coronary artery from the inside-out. This unique HD view provides us with critical clinical information that is not possible with routine imaging methods, such as coronary angiography, performed in the cath lab, or even non-invasive CT scans.”Several studies conducted around the world also highlight that IVUS guided procedures are more accurate and even more cost effective.

ohali ; Urinary incontinence is the loss of bladder control and is a Mcommon and often embarrassing

problem due to which people tend to get depressed. The severity ranges from occasionally leaking urine when you

cough or sneeze to having an urge to urinate that's so sudden and strong that you can’t get to the toilet in time. Though it occurs more often as people get older,

urinary incontinence isn't an inevitable consequence of ageing. On the occasion of “World Continence Week”, which is a global event from June 20 to June 26, doctors are here to encourage people who are suffering from urinary incontinence to come forward and seek medical help. Early diagnosis of the condition can help to stay healthy. Don't hesitate to see your doctor if urinary incontinence affects your daily activities. For most people, simple lifestyle and dietary changes or medical care can treat symptoms of urinary incontinence.
