Early Times Report
JAMMU, Aug 2: Shrimati Shanti Gupta Centre for Women's Studies, MIER College, organized a highly enlightening health talk on "Osteoporosis: Causes and Remedial Measures" on 31st July, 2023. The talk aimed to raise health awareness among faculty and students of Semester IV of P.G. and U.G. Departments, empowering them with knowledge on the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of osteoporosis.
The esteemed resource person for the event was Dr. Kanav Padha, a renowned Consultant Orthopedics, Trauma, and Joint Replacement Surgeon from Govt. Hospital Gandhi Nagar, Jammu. With an impressive educational background, including a postdoctoral fellowship in joint replacement from Dr. MGR University, Chennai, specialization in Rheumatology from John Hopkins University, USA, and Advance Trauma and Life Support training at AIIMS, New Delhi, Dr. Padha's expertise in the field was highly appreciated.
During his informative deliberation, Dr. Padha elucidated the concept of osteoporosis, emphasizing how the medical condition leads to weakened and brittle bones, making them susceptible to fractures. He highlighted that osteoporosis is often referred to as a "silent disease" due to its asymptomatic progression until a fracture occurs. The audience gained insights into the causes of osteoporosis, which include aging, hormonal changes, deficiency of calcium and vitamin D, lack of exercise, family history, certain medications, and medical conditions.
The talk did not stop at identifying the problem; Dr. Padha also provided comprehensive remedial measures for osteoporosis, including dietary changes, regular exercise, fall prevention techniques, regular checkups involving Dexa scan, recommended daily amounts of calcium and vitamin D supplements, and hormone replacement therapy.
The event also featured an interactive question and answer session, where both faculty members and students got the opportunity to clarify their doubts and queries regarding osteoporosis. Dr. Adit Gupta, Director, and Principal of MIER College, expressed his appreciation for the efforts of the Centre and emphasized the importance of organizing such awareness programs regularly to enlighten the public about the risks associated with untreated osteoporosis.
The session concluded with a formal vote of thanks presented by Ms. Sarita Bandral, a student of B.Ed. Semester IV, to the esteemed speaker and the attentive audience. The successful event was coordinated by Mrs. Rupa Gupta, Director of the Shrimati Shanti Gupta Centre for Women's Studies, along with Dr. Bharti Tandon and Mrs. Jyoti Sharma, who served as the convener and member of the Centre.
MIER College continues to take proactive steps in spreading awareness and knowledge on vital health issues, reaffirming its commitment to the holistic well-being of its faculty and students.
