New study finds one-dose treatment could halve cholesterol levels

New Delhi:  A term known as bad cholesterol, also known as high levels of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), is one of the main factors for the causes of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) across the globe. While statins and other lipid-lowering therapies have transformed care, most patients still fail to reach guideline-recommended LDL-C targets, and injectable therapies like PCSK9 inhibitors face issues of cost, convenience and access. A breakthrough may now be on the horizon. Enlicitide, developed by Merck, presented at American Heart Association Scientific Sessions 2025, tells that a new oral medication has shown LDL reductions for about 55.8 per cent, and the early stage results have pumped the cardiologists across. What does the study say? Scientists claim that one pill can cut the cholesterol levels in half. A small trial of 15 people with high cholesterol, despite taking conventional, lifelong medications to lower it, showed incredible reductions in two...

[Exclusive] Sonnet Mondal’s "Clamour for a Handful of Rice" is stirring conscience

New Delhi: Sonnet Mondal’s Clamour for a Handful of Rice is a searing collection of poems that bridges poetry and protest, silence and suffering. In stark, minimal language, Mondal captures the invisible yet persistent voices of the hungry, the displaced, and the forgotten. This isn’t poetry written from a distance—it’s an unfiltered documentation of contemporary anguish, rooted in realism and resistance. The collection opens with the titular poem, where rice—the most basic staple—becomes a symbol of survival, memory, and longing. Throughout the book, Mondal returns to hunger not just as physical deprivation but as emotional, spiritual, and existential void. War, injustice, and poverty hover constantly in the background, often erupting into the foreground through sharply etched imagery: burnt hospitals, bullet-filled rice bowls, and children crushed under the weight of conflict. What stands out in Mondal’s writing is the unassuming power of his lines. He writes without...
