BLK Super Speciality Hospital
Dear Readers,
The month of May was replete with eventful happenings for both the
hospitals in Delhi and Mumbai. Like every month, we bring you yet
another issue of Pulse with some of the interesting case studies and
articles.
The cover story this month features a case of a 25-year old young
Thalassemic patient who undergoes a High Risk Bone Marrow
Transplantation to lead a normal and healthy life. His story has a
happy ending thanks to the team of doctors at BLK Super Speciality
Hospital, New Delhi who showed exemplary skills and expertise in
handling such a complex case, thereby giving an opportunity to the
patient for a fresh start to a healthier life.
There are other inspiring stories in this issue that I am sure will be
of great interest to you that include the case of a TB patient suffering
from a serious case of Pott’s Spine. This issue also contains an
informative piece on how the introduction of 3D C-arm and Navigation
has revolutionised the spine surgery scenario by providing improved
technical assistance and visualisation for a better tackling of complex
cases. There’s also an interesting segment which talks about the
beneficial attributes of TiNbN coated Golden Knee Implants in Joint
Replacements over the conventional implants. You will also find an
engaging story of how an untiring team effort helped cure a cardiac
hole in an extremely low weight pre-term baby.
I, on behalf of the editorial team, would like to thank all the contributors
of this newsletter. Your stories and articles are very valuable and
indispensable for the successful output of this newsletter month after
month. We hope you will continue supporting us. If you have any
