Safer system to treat sinusitis
New Delhi, May 29 A team of ENT surgeons of Sir Ganga Ram Hospital here has successfully employed this application in some 100 cases of sinusitis, said Dr Devinder Rai, senior ENT consultant of the hospital. Sinusitis, an inflammation of the paranasal sinuses, occurs due to allergy, infection-bacterial or fungal or anatomical variations, say doctors. Generally, NIGS is conventionally used for neurological operations in India besides in a few other specialties like hip replacement, knee surgery etc. But, now this has proven to be helpful in operating various types of sinusitis, like frontal and sphenoid, which are considered to be the most severe forms of sinusitis. Dr Devinder cautioned that in both the sinusitis, chances of injuries to the eyes or brain are quite high as in case of frontal sinus, the distance between the optic nerve and the brain is just a few millimetres and thus increasing the chances of injuries. The first successful application of the NIGS technique was in July last year when Dr Devinder located the frontal sinusitis in an 11-year-old patient within 15 minutes. This technique is widely used in other countries like the USA and the UK, and according to the guidelines of the American Academy of Otolaryngology—Head and Neck Surgery, 2002, the Navigation Image Guided System method is employed in complex cases of revision operation. |

Robbers kill housewife at home
New Delhi, May 29 The assailants decamped with jewellery, though the exact loss is yet to be ascertained. The deceased's husband, Ashok Kapoor, an accountant, and son Saurabh were not at home at the time of the incident. Sakshi, who is a school teacher, in her statement to the police, said that she could not muster the courage to confront the robbers and hid behind the sofa in the living room. "The killers went straight to Kiran's room, from where Sakshi heard loud noise of TV and missed out on the conversation. The men left after about 20 minutes after which she entered the room and found Kiran lying in a pool of blood," said the police. Sakshi then called her father and brother on the mobile and told them about the attack, as Kiran was still alive. The family then took Kiran to the nearby Balaji Hospital, where she was declared dead. Her post-mortem examination was later conducted at the Sanjay Gandhi Hospital. The police and forensic experts have confiscated the knives used in the crime from the bedroom where Kiran was killed. Going by the ransacked rooms, the police believes robbery to be the motive behind the murder, without ruling out personal enmity. "Although jewellery is missing from the house, the robbers did not take the gold ornaments which the victim was wearing. We are investigating the case from all angles," said a senior police official. The police is however surprised by the friendly entry of the robbers. "One does not usually leave the door of the house open in the evening and especially when the male members of the house are away," said a police official close to the investigation. |

Woman, paramour found dead;
husband grilled
New Delhi, May 29 Poonam (29) was declared brought dead while her paramour Pintu (27) succumbed to his injuries this evening. The two had received multiple injuries in the woman's third floor rented accommodation in Dabri. Poonam's husband Munna, who works in the export-import company just below the house, told the police that Pintu lived in Janakpuri and had known them while they were living there earlier. The police has detained Munna and questioned him as to where he had been at the time of incident. "We have not yet arrested him but he is a prime suspect. Although he claims to have found the deceased wounded, we have to corroborate his statements," said a police official from Dabri police station. The police has also rounded up some youths who work in the export company where Munna works for a possible breakthrough in the case. "It is difficult to believe that somebody would commit suicide by stabbing themselves. It is too early to say that they committed suicide. The husband is a prime suspect but we need evidence to prove so," said the police official, adding that somebody could be hired to do the job as well. Pintu, who was a supplier of gas cylinder, came to know the family about two years back when he provided them with gas cylinder in the Chanakya Place area of Janakpuri. With the passage of time, he became close to
Poonam. |
