As rise in rare hip condition leaves children limping, Bengaluru doctors stress early diagnosis.
A teenager from the city suddenly started experiencing occasional knee pain and a mild limp. When he went for a check-up, the diagnosis was far more serious than his parents expected. He was diagnosed with Slipped Capital Femoral Epiphysis (SCFE), a rare condition in which the ball of the hip joint slips out of place.
This rare condition, which used to be seen once every two or three years, is being reported more frequently by doctors in the city. Many of them report seeing at least 2–5 cases a year in their practice, which has raised concerns.

Aortic Stenosis In Older Adults: The Silent Heart Problem And The New Fix Changing Lives
Aortic stenosis is predominantly a disease of ageing, arising from a gradual degenerative process in which the aortic valve becomes thickened and calcified over time. What makes this condition particularly dangerous is that a large number of older adults remain completely asymptomatic in the early and even intermediate stages. Many live unaware of the narrowing of their heart valve, and the true severity of the disease often comes to light only through echocardiography, the most reliable tool to assess valve function and blood flow.
