AVPL drones keep water bodies pest-free

Hyderabad: Amid the season of rain, many local initiatives are required to avoid diseases like dengue and malaria. To work towards the same, AVPL International deployed advanced medium category drones across Banjara Lake and Sangareddy Lake in Hyderabad to spray mosquito larvicide, targeting mosquito breeding grounds.
The initiative covered a total area of 3 acres over a two-day operation, marking the beginning of a year-long project aimed at comprehensive mosquito control in the region. A medium-category drone equipped with a centrifugal nozzle was used for the spraying, ensuring precise application of the larvicide while minimising human exposure and maximising coverage. The operations were conducted by a team comprising 2 pilots, trained and certified by AVPL's DGCA-approved Remote Pilot Training Organisation (RPTO). Speaking about the initiative, Preet Sandhuu, Founder and MD of AVPL International, said, 'It is an honor to work towards this transformative public health and safety initiative. At AVPL, we are deeply committed to serving the nation, whether by nurturing talent or safeguarding communities for societal benefit.'
The use of drone technology to treat inaccessible water bodies, was a success ensuring comprehensive coverage and leaving no mosquito breeding grounds untreated. This targeted approach aims to significantly reduce the spread of vector-borne diseases like dengue and malaria, creating a safer and healthier environment for Hyderabad's residents.

Stressed at work? Try these desk-friendly yoga techniques to relax fast

Deadlines piling up, back-to-back meetings, and endless emails—if your workday feels like a pressure cooker, you're not alone. But here's some good news: calm is just a few breaths away, and you don't even need to leave your desk. 'According to Ayurveda, the quality of your breath mirrors the quality of your thoughts. If your breath is chaotic, so is your mind. This is where simple yogic breathing exercises, or Pranayama, can reset your nervous system in just a few minutes—without having to disrupt your workflow,' says Dr Partap Chauhan, Founder & Director of Jiva Ayurveda. International Yoga Day isn't just about complex poses—it's about embracing yoga as a lifestyle. And Pranayama fits seamlessly into even the busiest schedules. Over 1,500 research papers in the last decade confirm that Pranayama reduces stress, induces meditative states, and increases lung capacity—all while being chair- and office-friendly. 'Most people turn to screens, snacks, or caffeine to cope with stress, but those are temporary fixes. One of the most powerful tools for relief is something you already possess—your breath,' says Dr Waseem Ud Din, Consultant Pulmonologist, Ujala Cygnus Group of Hospitals. Four easy breathing exercises to try at your desk Here are some practical Pranayama techniques for instant calm—especially meaningful this International Yoga Day: 1. Box Breathing (Square Breathing) How to do it: Inhale for 4 counts Hold for 4 counts Exhale for 4 counts Hold again for 4 counts Repeat for 3–4 rounds. This Navy SEAL-approved technique quickly calms the nervous system and enhances focus. 2. Anulom Vilom (Alternate Nostril Breathing) When to use: Midday reset or post-lunch fatigue How to do it: Close your right nostril with your thumb; inhale through the left Close the left with your ring finger; release the right and exhale Inhale through the right; close it and exhale through the left That's one round. Repeat for 2–5 minutes. This breathing balances brain hemispheres and sharpens mental clarity. 3. Bhramari (Bee Breath) When to use: After a tense conversation or upsetting email How to do it: Inhale deeply Close your eyes and ears (gently press the cartilage with your thumbs) Exhale with a soft humming sound like a bee Repeat 3–5 times. Known to instantly relax the nervous system and reduce frustration. 4. Sighing Breath When to use: When everything feels overwhelming How to do it: Inhale deeply through your nose Let out an audible sigh through your mouth Repeat 3–4 times. Simple yet effective for releasing built-up tension. Bonus tips: Dr Waseem recommends starting with belly breathing—sit tall, place one hand on your belly, and take slow, deep breaths. 'If your stomach rises as you inhale and falls as you exhale, you're doing it right. Just five breaths can ground your mind instantly,' he says. "Practicing these techniques, in combination with homeopathic remedies such as Kali Phosphoricum 6X (for mental exhaustion) or Argentum Nitricum 30 (anticipatory anxiety), can enhance emotional equilibrium and develop mental resilience over time," adds Dr. Mukesh Batra, Founder & Chairman Emeritus, Dr Batra's Healthcare. Why it works Wellness experts agree: slow, deep breathing signals your brain to relax. This slows heart rate, lowers blood pressure, and reduces cortisol, the primary stress hormone. 'Your breath is the bridge between your body and your mind. Conscious breathing activates the parasympathetic nervous system, which promotes rest and recovery,' explains Dr Chauhan. Dr Neha Agarwal, Critical Care Head at Apollo Hospitals, says she turns to breathwork during chaotic days: 'I close my eyes, inhale slowly for 5 counts, pause, then exhale for 5 counts. Even 60 seconds of conscious breathing between tasks can clear mental clutter.' The best part? No mat or special clothes needed Unlike yoga poses, breathing exercises require no equipment—just your breath and a few minutes of mindfulness. Whether you're stuck in traffic, preparing a presentation, or feeling overwhelmed at your desk, these techniques can help reset your day. So next time stress sneaks up on you, skip the extra coffee. Inhale calm. Exhale chaos.

Scientists say they may have found a way to extend human lifespan

For decades, scientists have been trying to find a way to extend human lifespan, and while studies have shown that select lab animals can live longer by eating less, they haven't conducted these studies on humans. A century-old study on lab rats has shown that mice who eat less often outlive their fed counterparts, but it can be almost impossible for most humans to follow a permanent diet. However, a new study by the School of Biological Sciences, University of East Anglia, claims that a combination of FDA-approved drugs that mimic the effects of dieting might be the answer to a longer life. The two drugs – Rapamycin and Metformin are known to extend the lifespan of mice as much as up to 30 per cent. Rapamycin, which was first found in the 1970s in bacteria living on the Easter Island soil, has been traditionally used as a powerful immunosuppressant to prevent organ-transplant rejection. The drug works by disabling a particular switch which is used to inform cells when a cell has an abundance of nutrients. As for Metformin, it is a synthetic compound that is found in French Lilac or Goat's Rue, which doctors prescribe to control sugar levels in type 2 diabetes. Since both of these drugs are used to sense the nutrient and energy levels in the human body, biologists wanted to see if the combination of these drugs could have the same effect as eating less. To know more about their effects, scientists say they examined thousands of existing studies and came across 167 studies that focused on eight vertebrate species, like fish and monkeys, which offered them a detailed insight into how these drugs affected animals. Out of three strategies that help with longevity, eating less, taking Rapamycin and consuming Metformin, scientists say the most dependable way to increase the lifespan is to eat less, irrespective of the animal's sex. They also noted that the second most effective strategy to increase lifespan was to take Rapamycin, while Metformin had no substantial effect. However, scientists did say that the effect of Rapamycin on animals wasn't consistent, as, in some cases, studies have shown that eating less or taking Rapamycin reduced an animal's lifespan. Another thing to note here is that most of these positive effects were on mice and rats, which have genes similar to humans but are not exactly the same. And since Rapamycin does come with some side effects, like reduced immunity, scientists are now trying to see if lower doses of the drug offer some advantages without the side effects. According to an ongoing Rapamycin trial on humans, it was noted that lower doses of the drug might help increase the lifespan. But, as of now, the trial is still in progress and will take a few years before the results are out.
