Police inspector dies, 3 officers injured in bee attack at Ujjain police training center
Ujjain: A 60-year-old police inspector, Rameshchandra Dhurve, was killed, and three other police officers were severely injured in an attack by a swarm of bees at the Ujjain Police Training Center on Maksi Road on Wednesday. The police officers were stung by the bees while sitting in the parking area of the Police Training Center. One of the officers, Inspector Dhurve, passed away during initial treatment after being taken to the district hospital. The other three officers, including an inspector, a sub-inspector, and an assistant sub-inspector, are still receiving treatment at the district hospital. The parking area is located about 100 meters away from the main Police Training Center, and there were about 70 police officials and staff inside the training center. According to PTS SP Anjana Tiwari, the incident occurred in the afternoon when Inspector Rameshchandra Dhurve, Inspector Dinesh Patel, Sub-Inspector Balram Chadhar, and ASI Kailash were sitting in the parking area after their afternoon activities. Suddenly, bees from hives on several trees in the PTS premises swarmed aggressively and targeted the officers. Inspector Rameshchandra Dhurve was severely stung on the head. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 5 Books Warren Buffett Wants You to Read In 2025 Blinkist: Warren Buffett's Reading List Undo "The attack was so intense that the officers were caught off guard.

The other three officers are receiving treatment at the hospital," said Tiwari. By late evening, five more staff members from PTS were admitted to the district hospital with bee sting injuries, although their condition was stable. Two of them were discharged after receiving primary treatment.

US study underlines globe-straddling benefits of InnoScot Health collaboration

The latest beneficiaries of the Patient Transfer Scale (PTS) – a transfer board with an in-built weighing scale – have been patients in Louisiana where a case study has noted that the innovation has changed stroke protocol with 'significant improvements in treatment times and patient outcomes'. Our Lady of the Lake (OLOL) Regional Medical Centre in Baton Rouge recognised that 'stroke management is a critical aspect of emergency medical care, where every second counts' and noted how PTS had 'revolutionised their stroke management process'. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad At OLOL, this included analysis of 'door to puncture time' – the period from patient arrival to when a thrombectomy in the centre's interventional radiology suite was commenced – with it being found that PTS helped to enable an average decrease of 41 minutes. Head of Innovation Commercialisation at InnoScot Health, Gillian Henderson 'Door to Needle times' - the duration for a stroke patient to be assessed and receive intravenous thrombolytic therapy – was further found to have decreased by an average of four minutes. The case study from US company Health o meter® Professional Scales concluded that 'by incorporating the Patient Transfer Scale into their stroke protocol, OLOL was able to support treatment times comparable to a Comprehensive Stroke Centre'. It added: 'The PTS enabled efficient and effective stroke management, leading to increased safety, decreased likelihood of errors, better decision-making, and improved communication among the medical team.' Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad The PTS helped to streamline stroke protocol at OLOL in two key ways – by removing reliance on often hard-to-find stretcher scales and simplifying the triage process. The inspiration for the PTS was first sparked when former NHS Lanarkshire Emergency Department nurse Gillian Taylor became frustrated with traditional, unwieldy approaches to weighing Intensive Care Unit (ICU) patients such as a hoist scale or bed scale. Gillian realised that if a patient was weighed as they were transferred to a bed using a transfer board, they could be weighed quickly without unnecessary, problematic delay or discomfort. Developed in close collaboration with InnoScot Health, NHS Lanarkshire, and leading manufacturer of medical weighing scales Marsden, the scale combines a standard patient transfer board with a class III approved weighing scale, enabling medication and treatment to be administered quickly and with confidence for dangerous conditions like stroke and sepsis while preserving patient dignity. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad InnoScot Health worked closely with Gillian to evaluate the initial product, protect its intellectual property (IP), secure funding, develop the prototype, and test in more than 30 hospitals, with multi-disciplinary teams using the product and providing feedback. This provided guidance for the final design and ultimately allowed the PTS to be brought to market. Head of Innovation Commercialisation at InnoScot Health, Gillian Henderson said: 'We believe that the award-winning PTS is an exemplar of frontline health professionals identifying new, more efficient ways of improving patient care. The fresh data from Louisiana on the ability of the PTS to hasten stroke treatment only serves to underline that. 'By accelerating the speed at which medications can be administered, the PTS offers significant benefit in the treatment of many time-critical conditions which a standing weight measurement cannot achieve. 'Through the fantastic idea of Gillian Taylor and the collaborative process which followed, the PTS was developed into a viable commercial product which is now in use in hospital settings around the world.

Leeza AI rewiring autism care
Talking about the technologies that power Leeza, the founder said, 'Leeza AI uses Flutter for mobile development and MERN stack for web. Our assessment engine and progress reporting tools are hosted on a secure cloud. AI integrations help in report summarisation and appointment optimisation, and soon, caregiver guidance through our upcoming LMS.' Ibrahim explained that Leeza is a hybrid model. While they use APIs like OpenAI for language-based interpretation, the scoring engine and recommendation pathways are custom-built based on clinical logic and practitioner feedback, not user data. 'The foundation is based on globally trusted clinical protocols, adapted for digital self-use,' he noted. How does it work? The user journey begins with a free screening. These are digitised self-report assessments originally developed by clinicians and validated by organisations like the NHS. Once completed, users receive AI-generated interpretations and personalised reports. Based on their region and needs, they're matched with verified healthcare providers (doctors, psychologists, genetic counsellors). Post consultation or diagnosis, families can choose therapy or training services. 'Soon, our Progress Tracking System (PTS) will enable ongoing monitoring and personalised therapy guidance. Our target users are families of neurodivergent children, especially in underserved areas. We cater to both digitally active middle-income urban families and lower-income households that lack access to specialised care,' explained the founder. Asked about data privacy and security, he said that they are actively working toward GDPR and DPDPA compliance. All personally identifiable information (PII) is encrypted and only shared with healthcare professionals if a user opts into a service. No third-party sharing is permitted. Data access is tightly controlled and based on explicit user consent. 'Designing a platform for low-bandwidth areas, ensuring accessibility for non-tech-savvy caregivers, and adapting assessments across diverse literacy and cultural contexts were key challenges,' pointed out Mohammed Mohsin, Chief Technical Officer. 'Building secure, modular systems for seamless appointments and structured therapy onboarding also required deep iteration,' he shared, further adding, 'We are not HIPAA-compliant yet but maintain best practices in data handling.' Highlighting few features designed to help with communication, learning, or emotional understanding for autistic users Ibrahim explained, 'We've built a Progress Tracking System (PTS) that helps therapists assign tasks and measure improvement. Tools like emotion detection and mood tracking are in our future roadmap. And we've onboarded 14 active healthcare providers and four partner clinics. Their insights shaped our digital assessments, reporting tools, and therapy onboarding.' 'The platform was born out of my personal experience as a computer science graduate who witnessed a loved one struggle with autism diagnosis and care. The pain of misinformation, high costs, and social stigma became the catalyst for creating Leeza AI, to ensure no family faces these challenges alone,' he revealed. By 2026, they aim to onboard 780 healthcare providers and scale Leeza AI globally, beginning with partnerships in Mexico and MENA. They're building toward a world where early autism care is localised, affordable, and integrated into public health and education systems. 'We engage caregivers, therapists, and community leaders from the design stage. All features are created for accessibility, using simple UX, regional adaptation, and culturally sensitive language. Our goal is to build not just smart tools, but inclusive, human-centered ones that empower neurodivergent families across every context,' he concluded.

Polytechnic and Community Colleges's vital role in Technical and Vocational Education and Training
Published on: Wednesday, May 07, 2025 Published on: Wed, May 07, 2025 By: Lagatah Toyos Text Size: Mohd Sahran in a group photo with the participants. TAWAU: Polytechnic and Community Colleges (POLYCC) continue to play a crucial role as leaders in Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) in Malaysia. Director of Politeknik Tawau Sabah (PTS) Mohd Sahran @ Awang Mohidin, said that TVET education is increasingly becoming the top choice for students who are more inclined towards practical and skills-based learning. He emphasised that this is because TVET fields offer strong job prospects immediately after graduation. 'POLYCC also offers affordable tuition fees of only RM200 per semester, including programmes available at PTS such as the Diploma in Tourism Management and Diploma in Recreational Tourism,' he said while officiating the three-day 'Generasi Aspirasi SMK Ulu Sapi, Beluran 2025' programme . The programme was held at PTS on May 2-4, which involved 84 students from the school. It was organised in collaboration with PTS and the Institute of Teacher Education (IPG) (Tawau Campus). Meanwhile, the Principal of SMK Ulu Sapi, Railen @ Maria Guang, said the programme met its objectives by fostering cooperation among the three institutions in providing early exposure to higher education opportunities for the students involved. 'It has, to some extent, provided motivation and a clearer understanding for students about their educational pathways after completing the Sijil Pelajaran Malaysia (SPM),' she said. She added that the participating students were from Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (Stem) A and Humanities streams. The programme included educational and career motivation sessions, as well as briefings on admission into Polytechnics and Community Colleges. Participants also had the opportunity to experience both theoretical and practical learning sessions conducted entirely by lecturers and the Student Representative Council (JPP) of both institutions. * Follow us on Instagram and join our Telegram and/or WhatsApp channel(s) for the latest news you don't want to miss. * Do you have access to the Daily Express e-paper and online exclusive news?
