In a move poised to impact over 11 million citizens, the Indian government is preparing for a sweeping salary revision under the proposed 8th Pay Commission, with central government employees and pensioners likely to see an effective 30–34% increase in income. However, despite high expectations, the implementation timeline appears uncertain due to bureaucratic delays. Massive Scope, Substantial Impact The pay revision will cover nearly 4.5 million government employees and 6.5 million pensioners, making it one of the largest public sector compensation overhauls in recent years. The increase is expected to exceed that of the previous 7th Pay Commission, which delivered…
mRNA vaccines, once hailed as a miracle of modern science for their swift and effective response to COVID-19, have now achieved another scientific milestone: 100% protection against pneumonic plague in preclinical trials. Researchers in Israel have announced a groundbreaking development that expands the application of mRNA technology from viral to bacterial diseases—a leap that could redefine the future of infectious disease control. The study, led by Tel Aviv University in collaboration with the Israel Institute for Biological Research, marks the first time an mRNA-based vaccine has shown complete effectiveness against Yersinia pestis, the bacterium responsible for pneumonic plague—a highly infectious…
Once considered a disease of the elderly, colon cancer is now striking younger populations at an alarming rate. In recent years, oncologists and epidemiologists have observed a sharp uptick in colorectal cancer diagnoses among individuals in their 20s, 30s, and early 40s. According to the American Cancer Society, colon cancer is now the leading cause of cancer-related deaths in men under 50, and the second-leading cause in women of the same age group. Doctors warn that this silent surge is not just statistical—it is reshaping clinical assumptions and putting pressure on health systems to adjust screening protocols and public awareness…
In today’s high-pressure world, the demand for quality sleep has never been greater. With stress, late-night screen use, and erratic schedules disrupting circadian rhythms, millions are turning to over-the-counter supplements to reclaim rest. Among them, magnesium and melatonin are increasingly favored for their potential to promote sleep and support neurological health. But despite similar goals, these two compounds work in markedly different ways. Understanding Magnesium: A Mineral of Many Talents Magnesium is essential to more than 300 biochemical processes in the human body. From regulating blood pressure and blood sugar to promoting muscle function and heart rhythm, the mineral plays…
In popular perception, liver damage is often equated with heavy drinking. But health experts are now sounding the alarm on a different reality: the liver is under silent assault from everyday habits that have nothing to do with alcohol. According to a new public health advisory, three common behaviors—high sugar consumption, frequent use of painkillers, and physical inactivity—are emerging as major, yet often overlooked, contributors to liver disease in non-drinkers. With non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) on the rise in India, doctors warn that millions may be damaging their liver without even realizing it. The Hidden Sugar Threat Sugar, especially…
For years, stress has been treated as a temporary emotional strain—manageable through a good night’s sleep or a weekend break. But mounting research is revealing a more disturbing truth: chronic stress can reshape the architecture of the brain itself. According to neuroscientists, prolonged exposure to stress not only impairs memory but actively distorts it. It alters how the brain learns, stores, and retrieves information—pushing individuals toward fear-based habits and away from flexible thinking. The findings, outlined in a recent study, suggest that the effects of long-term stress go far beyond anxiety or exhaustion. They touch the very core of human…
