It has given me immense satisfaction to learn that the news bulletin of Charnock Hospital is being reintroduced in the new name "Charnock Times" in a complete new dimension. Regular news bulletins of these types have, now a days, become the essence of the organisations to communicate with their clients and public at large with regards to the various developments & remarkable achievements of the people attached with the industries and various other sectors.The management of the SKM GROUP has to believe in the psychology of working in the society with honest commitment and transparency. I am of the rm opinion that "Charnock Times in future will act as an instrument to project the ongoing activities of the group and the people attached with them in the health and its allied education sector. I wish the "Charnock Times" to fulll its mission with dignity.

The only way that we can live, is if we grow. The only way that we can grow is if we change. The only way that we can change is if we learn. Life as a journey is propelled by leaning hence it must never stop. Shall learning stop; stagnation will follow. Restarting the Charnock Newsletter is dedicated to the 'Learner' within us. With its renewed structure, content and pattern; fueled by editorial entrepreneurism I'm sure the new Charnock Times will be informative, educative and entertaining.

Intellectual value chain starts from data, data to information, information to education and ends at education to wisdom. Our fundamental endeavor here is to complete this value chain. We stand in a threshold where industry admires academia and vice versa, Charnock Hospital and Charnock Healthcare Institute together will create noteworthy intellectual impact in the healthcare industry. Charnock Times will be the projection of such impact in form of scholarly dissertations. Healthcare is always driven by human values and Charnock Times will add more value to such human values

'CHARNOCK HOSPITAL' The name is like a Home to many of us employees now. We have seen it grow, prosper, struggle and again strive towards achieving a new goal. During this process, we have added up our new wings namely, Charnock Healthcare Institute and Pipal Tree Hotel along with us and also looking forward to becoming a Super-specialty Hospital within this nancial year itself. As Charnock Pulse is restarting in a new way, I am delighted to take this opportunity to thank everyone around for letting us grow. We are indebted to all of you for your advice and guidance. We, at Team Charnock, stress on transparency and try to pay maximum attention to Patient Service and Care. Our ultimate target, therefore, is to reach a level where both our Doctors and our patients consider Charnock as their second home! Hope we will be able to reach this target too.
Healthcare is Indias largest service industry with revenue of $35 billion by 2018. Some organisations have partly met this opportunity by establishing multi-speciality and super-speciality hospitals to cater to the huge demand. Much more investments are in the pipeline to cater to this opportunity. In India, the healthcare sector currently employs more than 4 million people and future manpower requirements are expected to double to 8 million.
Current Scenario
West Bengal is likely to see a 1,30,000 shortfall in skilled resources by 2015, claims a CII - PWC Skill Gap Study released in Kolkata. In healthcare, there would be an additional requirement of 5,000 -7,000 qualied MBBS / MD doctors, 20,000 30000 qulied nurses and over 60,000 paramedical staffs and allied health professionals. The bed to manpower ratio in hospitals is 1 Bed : 5 Employments.
Background
Charnock Hospital, a multi-speciality hospital, is the promoter of this initiative. Coming from the healthcare industry, we are well aware of the nuances, the demand-supply gap between industry requirements and institutes that churn out such personnel. It is after experiencing rst hand, how desperately healthcare industry needs quality personnel to fulll this gap, thus Charnock Healthcare Institute was formed.
Our Proposal
Charnock Healthcare Institute is a unique medical education institute, which will create quality manpower for every level of healthcare delivery. This is the rst such dedicated medical education institute which provides Nursing, Paramedical and Administrative education - all under one roof.

Indian scenario:
According to a survey conducted in India, approximately 4280 out of every one lakh people die every year from SCA (Sudden Cardiac Arrest) in India. This corresponds to around 54.6 million people in India alone. Statistics show that only about 7% of the people who suffered SCA survived, and this rate could be improved to 50% with human intervention.
Why so ?
Most cardiac arrests that lead to sudden death occur when the electrical impulses in the diseased heart become rapid (ventricular tachycardia) or chaotic (ventricular brillation) or both. This irregular heart rhythm (arrhythmia) causes the heart to suddenly stop beating. Some cardiac arrests are due to extreme slowing of the heart. Other factors besides heart disease and heart attack can cause cardiac arrest. They include respiratory arrest, electrocution, drowning, choking and trauma. Cardiac arrest can also occur without any known cause.
Air-Born
The average looking middle aged fair lady never thought of attracting such public attention while she boarded the plane from Dubai alone. This resident of Philippines suddenly went into active and rapid labor as the airbus was on high ying zone. And to all surprise to fellow passengers and crew on board, she gave birth to a tiny (1.9 Kg) baby girl on 7th February 2013. Just like any Hindi movie scene, ight had to make an emergency landing at the NSCB International Airport, Kolkata, where doctors of AAI were waiting for immediate management of mother-daughter duo & nally the whole team arrived at Charnock Hospital with the baby in Kangaroo Mother Care. She was admitted here under able supervision of Dr. Barnali Ghosh in obstetric ward and the newborn was soon shifted to NICU for assessment and further management. After admission the mother was soon prepared for exploration of birth canal in OT. On examination under anaesthesia, uterus was bulky with some retained placental bits and a small posterior vaginal wall tear near introitus was found. So evacuation of blood and placental bits from uterus was done and she was treated conservatively with routine medications. Her puerperal period was uneventful. The newborn was admitted under Dr. Daipayan Ghatak. The preterm newborn (34 weeks) had respiratory distress, and poor newborn reexes. So the baby was kept in NICU. Oxygen by hood was administered and started on IV infusion with 10% dextrose 150ml / day. Baby passed urine & meconium within 3 hours after admission and had stable saturation at room air after 10 hours. Though kept on NPM, abdomen remained distended and the newborn was managed with intermittent NG aspiration with administration of H2 blocker and domperidone. Initial sepsis screening was positive. Baby's CRP was 36 and blood for BACTEC culture revealed growth of Methicillin Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus (MRSA) which was sensitive to vancomycin and the newborn was already receiving vancomycin and meroponem. Baby gradually started responding to therapy. Baby developed physiological neonatal hyperbilirubinemia

& was treated with double surface phototherapy. IV antibiotics were continued for 10 days. The healthcare team at Charnock bid adieu the Mother and baby in stable condition on 1st March, 2013!
Dietary Exposure to Certain Plastics May Play a Hidden Role in Epidemic Increases in Childhood Hypertension
Plastic additives known as phthalates (pronounced THAL-ates) are odorless, colorless and just about everywhere: They turn up in ooring, plastic cups, beach balls, plastic wrap, medical devices made of exible PVC, such as IV bags, blood storage bags. Once perceived as harmless, phthalates have come under increasing scrutiny. A growing collection of evidence suggests dietary exposure to phthalates (which can leech from packaging and mix with food) may cause signicant metabolic and hormonal abnormalities, especially during early development.
HEALTH NEWS
New research published on May 23, 2013 in the Journal of Pediatrics suggests that certain types of phthalates could pose another risk to children: compromised heart health. Drawing on data from a nationally representative survey of nearly 3,000 children and teens, researchers at NYU Langone Medical Center, in collaboration with researchers at the University of Washington and Penn State University School of Medicine, have documented for the rst time a connection between dietary exposure to DEHP (di-2ethyhexylphthalate), a common class of phthalate widely used in industrial food production, and elevated systolic blood pressure, a measure of pressure in the
arteries when the heart contracts. "Phthalates can inhibit the function of cardiac cells and cause oxidative stress that compromises the health of arteries. We wanted to examine the link between phthalates and childhood blood pressure in particular given the increase in elevated blood pressure in children and the increasing evidence implicating exposure to environmental exposures in early development of disease." says lead author Leonardo Trasande, MD, MPP, associate professor of pediatrics, environmental medicine and population health. Recent national surveys indicate that 14 percent of American adolescents now have prehypertension or hypertension.
