Hello Doctor, my mother is 60 years old, and we live in a small town where medical help isn’t immediately available. I’ve always been paranoid about missing critical signs of a stroke or heart attack, especially because she has high blood pressure and cholesterol. Could you please guide me on how to quickly and accurately recognize these warning signs and what immediate steps I should take before professional help arrives?

Ans: The best way is to see your physician at least once in 6 months and get some tests done especially CBC, Lipid Profile, kidney & Liver function tests, electrolytes , ECG and USG of Neck and any other test which the doctor advices. Don't panic. there are many things which are not predictable. We can take precautions and leave rest to fate!

My father had a heart attack few months ago and now he is having symptoms similar to those of vascular dementia according to the judgement of respected gurus on this Rediff Gurus site. He is living far away from us and it is not possible to call him here immediately. So please tell me the tests like any blood test or CT or MRI etc. To have a rough idea if something is really happening because the agitated behaviour is of the signs . Please help.

Ans: Vascular Dementia is progressive
All he need is a good support system where there is a good care giver facility and regulation of his daily routine. Any number of blood test, MRI or CT will not help him

Kiit Kalinga university me btech biotechnology me registration ho gya hai 75000 registration fees bhi jma ho chuki hai lekin cbse ka result ab aaya hai marks 60% aur pcb me 50+ hai ayesa na ho ki registration reject ho jaye kya admission ho jayega

Ans: Hi Nidhi,
greetings.
According to the prospectus, you are not eligible for admission to KIIT for the B.Tech in Biotechnology program.
The basic requirement for B.Tech and M.Tech in Biotechnology is that you must pass 10+2 or an equivalent exam with at least 60% marks in Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics/Biology/Biotechnology combined.

Since you have only achieved 50%, I recommend considering other courses such as Nursing or Pharmacy instead of Biotechnology.

Hello sir.Could you pls suggest best colleges for pharmacy sciences in Punjab? I will be very thankful to you

Ans: Hi,

Punjab is not a district; it is a state. To gain admission into an undergraduate (UG) program, you must either write an entrance exam or go through the state selection board. Given this context, it is challenging to provide specific advice.

If you are interested in pursuing pharmacy, visit the website of the respective college to find information about the Standards of Instruction for Pharmacy (SIF) through the Pharmacy Council of India (PCI). The institution may have shared important details about their programs. You can choose colleges based on their infrastructure.

Don’t focus solely on placements. If you have the right skills, you will naturally secure a placement. However, do not stop at completing your UG; you should also aim to pursue a postgraduate (PG) program, as it will provide you with more exposure.

If financial constraints prevent you from pursuing PG studies, consider entering pharma marketing after completing your UG. There are plenty of opportunities to excel in marketing.

If you would like get more information, please come to me with a selected list of colleges, and I will be able to assist you further.

My son was born in Maharashtra, and has a Birth-certificate of Maharashtra, but we are permanent residents of Delhi. Is my son eligible to get its benefit in terms of local reservation in MHTCET-2025/

Ans: Hi Rajiv,
As your son born in Maharashtra, you cannot claim a domicile certificate from Maharashtra. To be eligible for a domicile certificate, one needs to have resided in the state for the last 15 years. Therefore, having only a birth certificate is not sufficient. I hope I have answered your question.

Sir, I got retired on 30-Jun-24 after attaining the age of 58. I do not have any further contribution to PF. I would like to know if PF gives interest for next 3 years. In other words, when I withdraw PF at the age of 61 in Jun-2027, would PF have paid interest for 3 years from Jul-24 to Jun-27.

Ans: If no contributions are made for more than three years after retirement, the account becomes inoperative.
It stops earning interest.
The existing balance remains safe.
