[ad_1] NEW DELHI: In April, India's services sector recorded its fastest expansion in almost 13 years, thanks to robust demand, according to a private survey. The S&P Global India services Purchasing Managers' Index surged to 62.0, surpassing all expectations in a Reuters poll that had predicted a drop to 57.0. The growth in services, which accounts for roughly 60% of India's gross domestic product (GDP), presents an optimistic picture for the nation's economic prospects, at least in the short term. The finance and insurance sectors exhibited the most growth, according to Pollyanna De Lima, economics associate director at S&P Global Market Intelligence. Despite a marginal uptick in employment, most firms claimed they had adequate labour capacity to meet increasing demand. The input prices index rose to a three-month high, and companies increased their charges at the fastest pace this year. As a result, alongside a brighter economic outlook, rising price

[ad_1] Your kidneys play a crucial role in keeping you alive, just like your brain and heart. These two fist-sized organs, located in your lower back, play a very vital role in acting as filters by removing waste and extra fluids from the body. They also keep blood pressure under control. People are mostly interested in knowing their cholesterol and blood pressure numbers. However, they should also know about their kidney's status to see if their kidneys are healthy or if they have chronic kidney disease, which is also known as CKD. CKD is a condition that means the kidneys are damaged and cannot filter blood the way they should. Diabetes is a leading cause of chronic kidney disease. In India also, the disease is commonly observed in people with diabetes. Studies have suggested that almost one in two people with diabetes suffer from CKD, which also indicates that it is underdiagnosed in our country. Another estimate suggests that one in eight Indians experience the chronic

[ad_1] Comment on this story Comment When John Cotter suddenly began to suffer from deafness, tinnitus and roiling vertigo at the age of 30, he found himself thrust into a medical mystery. In “ Losing Music ,” he chronicles his experience with what was eventually diagnosed as Ménière’s disease, a rare — and incurable — condition that affects an estimated 750,000 people in the United States. By age 35, fitted with hearing aids that only partly helped, he was walking with a cane, prone to unpredictable fits of vomiting, unable to reliably work and unsure about how much longer he would be able to hear at all. Without self-pity — or at least with measured doses of it (his wife gamely limits the amount of time he can talk about his condition in social situations) — “Losing Music” offers a compelling portrait of how deafness isolates people from even those closest to them. Cotter quotes Helen Keller: “Blindness separates people from things; deafness separates people from people.” More b
