Bhubaneswar:
Top scorers
in
Plus II examinations
, whose results were declared on Wednesday, underscored the significance of
time management
, clarity on subjects and concepts, and focus as their mantra of success.
While the Council of Higher Secondary Education (CHSE) did not release an official list of toppers, many students who appeared for the Plus II exams performed exceptionally well.
This year, more than 2,200 students scored above 90% compared to 546 students last year.
Kashis Naik of BJB Higher Secondary School in Bhubaneswar scored 557 out of 600 (92.9%) in the humanities stream. "Hard work, routine and balance helped me score good marks in the exams. I studied for six to seven hours regularly, apart from classes. I focused more on understanding concepts rather than memorising them."
Most of the top-scoring students said they avoided last-minute rote learning and relied on textbooks and self-prepared notes.
"Solving question papers of previous years and practising sample papers helped me a lot in scoring good marks. Teachers were always a phone call away and helped in clearing doubts," said Goutam Giri of Baripada, who scored 571 out of 600 (95.2%) in the science stream.
Sonam Gadnayak of Angul, who scored 92.8%, said, "I scored 82% in Class X exams but improved my scores significantly in higher secondary examinations due to proper focus and time management.

UP surpasses nat'l avg in language, math competency for Class 3 students
Lucknow: After taking a big leap forward in the school performance index, UP has made significant strides in learning outcomes. The PARAKH Rashtriya Sarvekshan 2024, which evaluates the effectiveness of the school education system by assessing competencies at various educational stages, shows that Class 3 children in UP have not only improved their performance, but also surpassed the national average. The report shared by the Union Ministry of Education with the state govt shows 68% of Class 3 children in UP are competent in language and 64% in mathematics, while the national average for the two stands at 64% and 60%, respectively. Education officials said in 2021, 55% of Class 3 students were competent in language and mathematics and were below the national average of 59%. According to the document shared by the education department, districts like Kasganj, Shamli, Auraiya, Ambedkar Nagar and Mahoba emerged as top performers in Class 3.

Kidney transplant turns dangerous after parasite found in donor organ
A routine kidney transplant meant to save a man's life nearly cost him everything—because of a parasite no one saw coming. Two months after undergoing what should have been a life-improving surgery, a 61-year-old man was rushed back to the hospital in distress. He wasn't just feeling unwell—he was vomiting, severely fatigued, constantly thirsty, and urinating excessively. As his symptoms escalated, his oxygen levels dropped and fluid began to accumulate in his lungs. Despite being placed on a feeding tube, his condition worsened. Doctors transferred him to intensive care and began a frantic search for answers. According to a detailed case report in the New England Journal of Medicine, physicians at Massachusetts General Hospital suspected an infection but were faced with a daunting challenge: the man was on powerful immunosuppressive drugs following his transplant, which meant nearly any infectious agent could be the cause. What did they find? Dr. Camille Kotton, Clinical Director of the Transplant and Immunocompromised Host Infectious Diseases division at Mass General, was part of the team trying to find the cause. As reported by Ars Technica, she began by ruling out likely viral infections, since the patient was already on preventative medications. But when she noticed two unusual signs—a significant rise in eosinophils (a type of white blood cell linked to parasitic infections) and a reddish-purple rash on the patient's abdomen—her attention turned toward a lesser-considered threat: a parasitic roundworm called Strongyloides. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Giao dịch CFD với công nghệ và tốc độ tốt hơn IC Markets Tìm hiểu thêm Undo This worm typically infects the gastrointestinal tract and can become deadly when undiagnosed in immunocompromised individuals. To follow her hunch, Dr. Kotton contacted the organ-procurement organization and learned that the donor had lived in the Caribbean, a region where Strongyloides is endemic. The donor's blood hadn't been tested for the parasite prior to organ recovery, but stored samples later revealed antibodies against it. Meanwhile, the transplant recipient's pre-transplant blood was negative—confirming that the infection had come from the donor. What was the path to recovery? T ests soon uncovered worm larvae in the patient's lungs and stool. The treatment required ivermectin, a deworming medication approved by the FDA only for oral use in humans. With special approval, doctors administered the drug subcutaneously. Slowly, the patient began to recover. Then came another shock: the recipient of the donor's other kidney had also fallen critically ill. When doctors exchanged notes, they found the same parasite at work. Fortunately, both patients survived. In response to the case, the United Network for Organ Sharing has since revised its transplant screening guidelines, now recommending universal Strongyloides testing for donors from high-risk regions. The case serves as a stark reminder that even life-saving procedures can carry hidden dangers—and that vigilance doesn't end with the operating room.
