Construction of 50 bed critical care block begins at KMC-RI
Hubballi: A critical care block (ICU) will be set up on the premises of Karnataka Medical College-Research Institute (KMCRI). Hundreds of people from the seven to eight districts of North Karnataka come to the hospital for treatment, and 1,500-2,000 people visit the outpatient department every day.
The new unit will help treating the emergency patients.
A large number of people come to KMC-RI Hospital for emergency treatments. In order to provide them the medical treatment they need, the hospital will construct a 50-bed CCB building on the hospital premises, equipped with state-of-the-art technology and all basic facilities, at a cost of Rs 16.40 crore.
Earlier, a proposal was submitted to the govt by KMC-RI.
Now the green signal has been received from the govt as well. The central and state govt have provided funds, and a multi-storey G+5 building will be constructed.
Dr SF Kammar, KMC-RI director, told TOI that govt has given permission for the construction of a critical care block on the premises, and the tender is also at the govt stage. Two plots of land, including Deepa hostel, on the premises of KMC-RI hospital have been allotted, and the building will be constructed in a place that is convenient for patients coming to the hospital.

5 yoga poses to relieve lower back pain
Prolonged sitting often leads to lower back pain, a common issue in today's sedentary lifestyles. Yoga offers a solution with poses like Child's Pose, Cat-Cow, Downward-facing dog, Cobra, and Sphinx. These poses relieve tension, improve spinal flexibility, and strengthen core muscles. In today's sedentary lifestyle, where you end up sitting for over 8 hours, your back often pays the price. If your lower back feels tight, achy, or sore after long hours at a desk or on the couch, you're not alone. Prolonged sitting can lead to back pain. The good news? Yoga can help to relieve lower back pain caused by sedentary lifestyles, poor posture, or stress. Here are five yoga poses designed to ease lower back pain and enhance mobility and relaxation. Child's Pose (Balasana) Child's pose, aka Balasana, can take off the stress from your lower back. It gently stretches the hips, thighs, and lower back to release tension. To practise this, first kneel on the floor, sit back on your heels, and then slowly lower your torso forward, resting your forehead on the ground. Now extend your arms forward or rest them alongside your body. Hold for 30 seconds to a minute, breathing deeply. Cat-Cow Pose (Marjaryasana-Bitilasana) This yoga pose improves spinal flexibility and relieves tension in the lower back. It can allow a nice flexion and extension of the spine. It is good for flexibility and is excellent for beginners. Start on all fours, hands under shoulders and knees under hips. Now inhale, arch your back, lifting your chest and tailbone (Cow). by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Investire è più facile che mai BG SAXO Scopri di più Undo Then exhale, round your spine, tucking your chin and tailbone (Cat). Repeat for 8-10 breaths. This pose also warms up the spine and improves circulation. Downward-facing dog (Adho Mukha Svanasana) Downward dog can help to stretch the hamstrings, calves, and back, and thereby reduce lower back stiffness. If you are struggling with lower back pain and neck pain, this pose can help relieve it. To practice this pose, from all fours, lift your hips toward the ceiling, forming an inverted V-shape. Then keep your hands shoulder-width apart and feet hip-width apart. Press your heels gently toward the floor and hold for 30 seconds. Cobra pose (Bhujangasana) The cobra pose, aka Bhujangasana, is a gentle yoga pose. This pose can lower back pain by strengthening and stretching the spine, core, and surrounding muscles. Lie face down, and press your palms into the mat. Now lift your chest upward while keeping your legs extended and pelvis grounded. Sphinx pose The Sphinx pose is a gentle way to strengthen your spine and buttocks. It can stretch your chest, shoulders, and abdomen, and also help relieve stress. To practice this pose, lie on your stomach, place your elbows under your shoulders, and lift your chest without straining your lower back. Hold this pose for 30 seconds to 1 minute.

Yalburga seer's yoga routine benefits devotees
1 2 Yalburga (Koppal): A few people in Yalburga town receive a call as early as 4.30am. "Om Sri Guru Basavalingaya Namah. Good morning, get up, join us for yoga," says Basavalingeshwara Swamiji of Sridhar Muradi Hiremath. At this Lingayat-Veerashaiva mutt in town, the seer has maintained a yoga tradition for nearly two decades. "My yoga journey began during my teenage years at the Shivayoga Mandir in Badami, Bagalkot district, and it kept me healthy even at 53," he reveals. After taking sanyasa vows, Basavalingeshwara Swamiji learned yoga alongside essential rituals and protocols required to lead the mutt. Unlike others who discontinued yoga after departing the Shivayoga Mandir, he has maintained his practice throughout the years, even after becoming the head of Yalburga Mutt. Speaking to TOI, Swamiji said: "Yoga has imparted significant lessons to me and brought me immense peace. I aspire to share this with others. Yoga is meant for those who are genuinely interested. To date, I have taught yoga to thousands, and hundreds continue to practice it regularly. Many have pursued further studies and are now teaching others. This brings me immense joy." Proficient in numerous asanas from basic to advanced, Basavalingeshwara Swamiji considers yoga as a path for physical and mental development, rather than self-promotion. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Discover Effortless Glucose Monitoring: Request a Free Trial Dexcom Try Now Undo "Therefore, I do not advertise it on social media. This practice is for those who wish to engage in it, either in groups or privately," he states. Daily morning yoga sessions occur at the premises of Sridhar Muradi Hiremath in the town. Swamiji personally calls regular practitioners to wake them, while others arrive independently. He guides participants through postures suitable to their abilities, demonstrating advanced asanas to experienced practitioners. Following each session, participants receive prasad comprising nutritious sprouts and fruits. Yoga sessions often include personality development discussions and religious discourse. This programme has been held consistently for the past two decades. "Beyond religious activities, Swamiji created an environment incorporating education, literature, music, and yoga through the mutt. Basavalingeshwara Swamiji, who is knowledgeable in Ayurveda, also oversees agricultural activities and cowsheds. His guidance enabled us to adopt healthy practices," says devotee Sharanabasappa Danakai. "World Yoga Day can illustrate its significance, but practising yoga for just one day is ineffective," notes the seer, highlighting that consistent daily practice promotes a healthier lifestyle, supporting holistic personal development.
