Maintaining kidney health involves a balanced lifestyle, staying hydrated, managing blood pressure, and avoiding substances that can harm the kidneys, such as excessive use of certain medications or substances that can contribute to kidney disease. Certain drugs can have an impact on kidney health. Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), some antibiotics, antiviral medications, and certain blood pressure medications may affect the kidneys. It’s crucial to use medications as prescribed, stay hydrated, and communicate any concerns about potential kidney-related side effects with Physicians. The reason for Nephrotoxicity are Direct Toxicity, Impaired Blood Flow, Inflammatory Response, Formation of Toxic Metabolites and Altered Fluid and Electrolyte balance. Nephrotoxicity can range from mild to severe, and its danger depends on various factors, including the specific drug, dosage, duration of use, and an individual’s overall health. Mild cases may cause temporary changes in kidney function, while severe nephrotoxicity can lead to acute kidney injury or chronic kidney disease.

The film tourism sector is emerging and gaining recognition, and it’s encouraging to see several states and union territories participating in it with great enthusiasm, leading it towards success.

It’s a matter of pride for all of us that our film industry is a global name, and at this opportune moment, this discussion on elevating film tourism is highly significant.”

“The entertainment colossus of India is a major contributor to the Indian film industry in terms of number of films produced and released. Apart from the commercial feat as the biggest trade and commerce centre in the country, Mumbai is also home to the Bollywood film industry. Over 70% of Indian motion pictures, television serials and commercials are produced in Mumbai itself. India needs to step up its efforts to attract foreign film producers to come and shoot in India. India has a great opportunity to promote inbound tourism beyond popular destinations,” said Mr. Mahesh Singhi, Chair – Maharashtra Chapter, PHDCCI, Maharashtra.

“We applaud the single window clearance scheme and would urge the Government of India to extend the scheme to include permission from various authorities such as the Ministry of Information & Broadcasting, Ministry of External Affairs, Ministry of Civil Aviation, State and local Municipal bodies, Police and traffic departments. Moreover, tax incentives and financial benefits such as tax credits, exemptions or subsidies should be extended to private developers investing in infra related to Film tourism such as Film City, film institutes, Film Studios, etc,” stated Dr. Mehta.

Among several thought-provoking sessions with industry experts on measures required to elevate the Indian film tourism sector, the highlight of the conclave was the unveiling of the PHDCCI-KPMG report, titled, ‘Transforming Location into Vacation – A Report on Film Tourism’ which emphasised the need for India to leverage its rich cinematic heritage to position itself as a leading film tourism destination, leading to economic growth and cultural preservation. It highlighted that states like Gujarat, Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan and several others have introduced several policy reforms such as single window clearances and incentives for filmmakers.

As per the report, the global film tourism market is projected to grow at a CAGR of 7.2 per cent in the coming years. India, one of the largest film producers in the world, rolls out more than 1,500 movies yearly. The Media and Entertainment industry in India is expected to reach INR 8 lakh crore by 2030. Last year, the Indian gross box office collection (GBOC) exceeded INR12,000 Crore.

The compelling report recommended several significant steps like tax incentives and financial benefits, government support to develop a national-level policy and guidelines for the film tourism sector; allocating dedicated funds to support film tourism initiatives; establishing a supervisory committee to ensure effective implementation of policies and dispute resolution; implementing a clear process for registering agencies managing film festivals and tourism-related events;

The event garnered attendance from members of the film fraternity, policymakers, film boards from various states, and delegates, contributing to its success.

How to get rid of strawberry legs (pre-wedding)?

How to get rid of strawberry legs (pre-wedding)?

How to get rid of strawberry legs (pre-wedding)?By- Dr. Rishabh Raj Sharma, Assistant Professor, Department of Dermatology, Noida International Institute of Medical Sciences and Hospital, Noida International University- 

For brides-to-be who prefer smooth skin, strawberry legs—a frequent phrase for the appearance of small, black patches on the legs that mimic the seed pattern on a strawberry’s surface—can be a cause for anxiety. This disorder is frequently brought on by folliculitis, keratosis pilaris, or shaving residue.

To get rid of the strawberry legs, here are a few steps to reduce the unseen appearance of strawberry legs- 

1. Exfoliation: Regular exfoliation, whether through physical scrubs or chemical products containing AHAs or BHAs, removes dead skin cells, preventing clogged pores and the appearance of “strawberry legs.” It also smooths skin texture, aiding conditions like keratosis pilaris, and enhances product absorption. However, gentleness is key to avoiding skin irritation, especially in sensitive areas like the legs. Starting with a lower frequency and adjusting gradually is advisable to gauge skin response. 

2. Use Proper Shaving Techniques: Shaving in the direction of hair growth with a sharp razor reduces irritation and the appearance of strawberry legs by minimizing ingrown hairs and skin trauma. This method provides a smoother finish and should be paired with moisturizing shaving cream or gel for lubrication and skin protection. Regularly replacing razor blades maintains a sharp edge for optimal shaving results. 

3. Moisturizing: Moisturizing the skin is crucial for reducing the appearance of dark pores or “strawberry legs” by keeping the skin hydrated, enhancing barrier function, and improving overall appearance and texture. Consistently applying a suitable moisturizer, especially after exfoliation or shaving, helps maintain skin hydration and minimize the visibility of dark pores on the legs.

4. Laser Hair Removal: Laser hair removal is a long-term solution for reducing hair growth and improving skin texture, beneficial for addressing “strawberry legs.” It targets hair follicles, leading to reduced hair growth and smoother skin with fewer visible pores. Laser treatments can also enhance skin texture by reducing roughness associated with conditions like keratosis pilaris. While multiple sessions are often needed, laser hair removal offers long-lasting results compared to temporary methods. Consulting a dermatologist is crucial to determine suitability and ensure proper pre- and post-treatment care for optimal safety and effectiveness. 

5. Consultation with a Dermatologist: Consulting a dermatologist can be beneficial for addressing skin concerns like “strawberry legs.” They provide a professional assessment, offer customized treatment plans including professional procedures or prescription treatments, access to advanced skincare technologies, and monitor progress for optimal results and safety. Seeking their guidance ensures a comprehensive and effective approach to addressing skin texture issues when DIY remedies are ineffective.
