Major #Throwback check: Wanderlust Kangana travelling all around Europe (in 2008!!) learning about art-history and wines. Sundays are for reminiscing about those carefree days, till we can travel again ...

A post shared by Kangana Ranaut (@team_kangana_ranaut) onApr 26, 2020 at 4:08am PDT

The 'Queen' actor is seen dressed in simple yet elegant outfits in the pictures from her two-month-long trip to Europe. "#Throwback to the good old travel days! Major throwback to 2008 when the 21-year-old art, history, and travel enthusiast #KanganaRanaut travelled to Italy for a 2 months long trip!" the team tweeted along with the pictures.

They also shared trivia on the 'Tanu Weds Manu' actor's travel diaries and said that Kangana used to take her camera to each of her trips. "Interesting Trivia: before the iPhone days, she used to take her camera along everywhere," the team tweeted.

Kangana began her acting career at a very young age with her debut film 'Gangster' for which she garnered a lot of appreciation.

Spinner Harbhajan Singh on Wednesday said that MS Dhoni was a very shy person when he first came to the team and said that the wicket-keeper finally started opening up after the 2008 Sydney Test against Australia.

Harbhajan was doing an Instagram Live Session on the official handle of Chennai Super Kings and it was then that the spinner was asked to name his favourite memories with Dhoni.

Answering the question, Harbhajan replied: "We have played a lot of cricket together, we have done tours to probably all the countries, MS Dhoni was a very shy guy, he never used to come to our rooms, he was a very quiet guy, in the 2008 series against Australia, the Sydney Test brought the team together, from that time onwards, he started opening up".

"He was a young guy in the team, he was the captain but still he was very shy, he used to give suggestions, but he allowed everyone to do their thing, he is still the same, he gives everyone all the freedom, this is probably something people should learn from him, you should give space to bowlers," he added.

The 2008 Sydney Test between India and Australia is still remembered by everyone as Harbhajan Singh and Andrew Symonds were involved in an on-field tussle. Symonds had alleged that Harbhajan had passed a racist remark upon him and since then, the incident is known as 'MonkeyGate'.

During the 2008 Sydney Test, India also had to face few bad decisions and the side ended up losing the match. For the altercation with Symonds, Harbhajan was handed a three-match ban by referee Mike Procter although the charges were downgraded on 29 January 2008 to the lesser charge of using abusive language and the ban was lifted.

Thirty-eight-year-old Dhoni has been currently enjoying some time away from the game. He last played competitive cricket during the 2019 World Cup.

This year, Dhoni did not find a place for himself in the BCCI's centrally contracted players list. The board had released the list of central contract list of players for the period from October 2019 to September 2020.

Dhoni is the only captain to win all major ICC trophies (50-over World Cup, T20 World Cup, and Champions Trophy). Under his leadership, India also managed to attain the number one ranking in Test cricket. IPL 2020 was slated to begin from March 29, but the tournament has been postponed indefinitely due to the coronavirus pandemic.

അമേരിക്കൻ സമ്പദ്‌വ്യവസ്ഥയെ സഹായിക്കാൻ 2.3 ട്രില്യൺ ഡോളർ വരെ വായ്പ നൽകാമെന്ന ഫെഡറൽ റിസർവിന്റെ പ്രഖ്യാപനത്തെ തുടർന്ന് അമേരിക്കൻ ഡോളർ വ്യാഴാഴ്ച ദുർബലമായി. എന്നാൽ സ്വർണ വില 1,675 ഡോളറായി ഉയർന്നു. ഏഴ് വർഷത്തെ ഏറ്റവും ഉയർന്ന വിലയാണിത്. ഫ്യൂച്ചേഴ്സ് 4.2 ശതമാനം മുന്നേറി. ദിവസാവസാനത്തോടെ, സ്വർണ വില 2012ന് ശേഷമുള്ള ഏറ്റവും ഉയർന്ന നിലയിലേയ്ക്ക് കുതിക്കുകയായിരുന്നു.

दुनियाभर के केंद्रीय बैंक ब्याज दरों में आक्रामक कटौती कर रहे हैं, लेकिन इससे बाजार को शायद ही कोई लाभ हो रहा हो। अब कोरोना वायरस ने 12 साल पहले की आर्थिक मंदी की तुलना में विश्व अर्थव्यवस्था में बहुत ही संवेदनशील वित्तीय संक्रमण के फैलने का खतरा पैदा कर दिया है। पिछले संकट की तुलना में दुनिया इस बार कर्ज में अधिक गहरे डूबी हुई है। दुनियाभर में इस बार सबसे जोखिमभरा कर्ज का बड़ा हिस्सा घरों व बैंकों से हटकर कॉर्पोरेशनों के पास चला गया है। नगदी के प्रवाह में अचानक रोक की संभावनाओं से निपटने वाले व्यवसायों में अधिकांश नई पीढ़ी की वे कंपनियां हैं, जो पहले से ही अपने ऋण चुकाने के लिए संघर्ष कर रही हैं। इस वर्ग में वे जॉम्बी (प्रेत) कंपनियां हैं, जो इतना कम कमाती हैं कि अपने ऋण पर ब्याज भी नहीं चुका सकतीं, ये सिर्फ हर बार नया ऋण लेकर ही चल रही हैं। यह महामारी जितनी लंबी चलेगी, वित्तीय संकट के उतना ही गहराने का खतरा उत्पन्न होगा और साथ ही इन जॉम्बी कंपनियों के एक के बाद एक डिफॉल्टर होने की शुरुआत हो जाएगी।

पिछली एक शताब्दी में मंदी हमेशा ही ऊंची ब्याज दरों के लंबे समय तक बने रहने से शुरू हुई। कभी भी वायरस की वजह से नहीं। दुनिया की अर्थव्यवस्था को इस संक्रमण से होने वाला नुकसान तीन महीने से अधिक तो नहीं चलेगा। लेकिन, अब सदी में एक बार होने वाली यह वैश्विक महामारी रिकॉर्ड कर्ज के बोझ से दबी दुनिया को चोट पहुंचा रही है। दुनियाभर के केंद्रीय बैंक महसूस रहे हैं कि नगदी की कमी एक और वित्तीय संकट को जन्म दे सकती है। जिस तरह से फेड ने 2008 की तरह आक्रामक उपाय किए, ताकि बाजार में डर को दूर किया जा सके, लेकिन अब यह जांच का विषय है कि वित्तीय सिस्टम फिर भी इतना संवेदनशील क्यों दिख रहा है। 1980 के आसपास दुनिया में कर्ज का तेजी से बढ़ना शुरू हुआ, क्योंकि ब्याज दरों में कमी हो रही थी और विनियमन की वजह से ऋण देना आसान हो गया था। 2008 के संकट के शुरू होने से ठीक पहले कर्ज अपनी ऐतिहासिक ऊंचाई पर पहुंच गया था। तब यह दुनिया की कुल अर्थव्यवस्था का तीन गुना हो गया था। संकट के दौरान यह कर्ज गिरा और दुनियाभर के केंद्रीय बैंकों ने वसूली में तेजी की उम्मीद में ब्याज दरों को न्यूनतम स्तर पर ला दिया। जैसे-जैसे आर्थिक विस्तार होता रहा, उधार देने वाले बहुत ही शिथिल हो गए और उन कंपनियों को भी सस्ते ऋण देने लगे जिनकी आय को लेकर सवाल थे। आज भी दुनिया पर कर्ज का भार अब तक का सबसे अधिक है।

अमेरिका के कॉर्पोरेट सेक्टर पर ऋण का कुल स्तर देश की जीडीपी का 75 फीसदी है, यह 2008 से भी अधिक है। इस 16 ट्रिलियन डॉलर के कर्ज के भीतर भारी संकट की आशंका छिपी हुई है। इनमें कई जॉम्बी कंपनियां भी हैं। बैंक फॉर इंटरनेशनल सेटलमेंट के अनुसार अमेरिका में ऐसी जॉम्बी कंपनियां सार्वजनिक कंपनियों का 16 फीसदी और यूरोप में 10 फीसदी से अधिक हैं। ट्रांसपोर्ट, ऑटो और तेल क्षेत्र में तनाव के लक्षण लगातार बढ़ रहे हैं। अधिक आपूर्ति और वायरस की वजह से मांग में कमी के डर से तेल की कीमत 35 डॉलर प्रति बैरल से भी नीचे आ गई है। यह कई तेल कंपनियों के लिए इतनी कम है कि वे अपना कर्ज भी नहीं चुका सकते।

जब बाजार गिरता है तो निवेशक कम समृद्धि महसूस करते हैं और अपने खर्चों में कमी करने लगते हैं। इससे अर्थव्यवस्था धीमी हो जाती है। बड़े बाजारों पर इसका अधिक नकारात्मक असर होता है। वॉलस्ट्रीट में तेजड़िए आज भी चीन को लेकर उम्मीदों से भरे हैं कि यह बुरी स्थिति जल्द ही गुजर सकती है। चीन में वायरस का पहला मामला 31 दिसंबर को सामने आया और नए मामले आने की दर सिर्फ सात हफ्ते बाद 13 फरवरी को चरम पर पहुंच गई। शुरुआती नुकसान के बाद चीन के स्टॉक मार्केट ने दोबारा उछाल मारी और अर्थव्यवस्था पहले जैसी ही दिख रही है। लेकिन रिटेल बिक्री और निवेश के ताजा डाटा से पता चलता है कि इस तिमाही में चीन की अर्थव्यवस्था सिकुड़ रही है।

जैसे-जैसे वायरस दुनिया में फैल रहा है, एक बार फिर इस बात का डर है कि निर्यात की मांग घटने से संकट फिर चीन के चारों ओर आ सकता है। पिछले एक दशक में चीन का कॉर्पोरेट कर्ज चार गुना बढ़कर 20 ट्रिलियन डॉलर से अधिक हो गया है। आईएमएफ का अनुमान है कि इस कर्ज का दसवां हिस्सा जॉम्बी कंपनियों में है, जो जिंदा रहने के लिए सरकार निर्देशित कर्ज के भरोसे हैं। दुनियाभर में मांग उठ रही है कि कमजोर कॉर्पोरेशनों को सरकारें इसी तरह का समर्थन दें। इस बात से कोई फर्क नहीं पड़ता कि नीति निर्धारक क्या करते हैं। परिणाम तो इस बात पर निर्भर है कि कितनी जल्दी कोरोना वायरस अपने चरम पर पहुंचता है। यह मौजूदा गति से जितने अधिक समय तक फैलता रहेगा, संभव है कि जॉम्बी कंपनियों की मौत शुरू हो जाए, जो बाजार को और अधिक हताश करेगा और इसे वित्तीय संक्रमण के और बढ़ने की आशंका उत्पन्न हो जाएगी। (यह लेखक के अपने विचार हैं।)

Interview with Mark J. Pletcher, MD, MPH, author of Trends in Opioid Prescribing by Race/Ethnicity for Patients Seeking Care in US Emergency Departments. Summary Points: 1. Doctors appear to prescribe opioids less often to blacks and Hispanics/Latinos than they do to whites in the emergency department. 2. These differences do not appear to be explained by differences in type or severity of pain. To address these disparities, we would recommend: 1. Educating patients to make sure non-white patients expect good pain control and know how/when to ask for it. 2. Educating physicians and nurses about the existing disparities and the need to eliminate them, specifically addressing fears of prescription opioid abuse and other reasons physicians may withhold opioids. 3. Creating systems that minimize barriers to prescribing and monitor resolution of pain. 4. Monitoring quality of care by measuring resolution of pain and collecting and analyzing data by race/ethnicity.

Interview with Stephen M. Shortell, PhD, MBA, MPH, author of Improving Patient Safety by Taking Systems Seriously. Summary Points: 1. To make real progress in patient safety will require redesigning the underlying system of care such that healthcare professionals and institutions providing a continuum of services from prevention to hospice can address multiple conditions and episodes over time. A "culture of systems" must be established. 2. Competing priorities, professional autonomy, solo and small physician practices, disciplinary silos, miss-aligned financial incentives, and inadequate feedback about performance all undermine efforts to create safe healthcare systems. 3. A number of strategic, cultural, technical, and structural barriers need to be addressed to assure safer care. This includes the need for patient safety organizations to gather information across the continuum of care and provide both rapid feedback to practitioners and analyze trends over time.

Interview with Laura P. Svetky, MD, MHS, author of Comparison of Strategies for Sustaining Weight Loss: The Weight Loss Maintenance Randomized Controlled Trial. Summary Points: 1. Weight loss is feasible and long term weight loss is possible. 2. Ongoing personal contact and technology based interventions were effective but the overall benefits were small. 3. The role of clinicians is to reinforce the message that weight loss can prevent and treat multiple chronic conditions. Even small amounts of weight loss can lead to significant health benefits. 4. Our focus should be on long term healthy life style changes rather than dieting, which is by its very nature short term.

Interview with Barbara V. Howard, PhD, author of Effect of Lower Targets for Blood Pressure and LDL Cholesterol on Atherosclerosis in Diabetes: The SANDS Randomized Trial. Summary Points: 1. Both standard and aggressive targets for blood pressure and LDL cholesterol in individuals with diabetes can be achieved and are safe. 2. Aggressive targets were associated with regression in IMT and greater decrease in LV mass, but long term data are needed to determine if they will result in improvement in clinical events. 3. Aggressive targets for blood pressure and LDL cholesterol may be considered on an individual basis.

Interview with Wendie A. Berg, MD, PhD, author of Combined Screening With Ultrasound and Mammography vs Mammography Alone in Women at Elevated Risk of Breast Cancer. Summary Points: 1. Adding a single screening ultrasound examination to screening mammography in women at increased risk of breast cancer with at least heterogeneously dense breasts increases the cancer detection rate from 50% to 78%. 2. The risk of a biopsy for a benign lesion in our series was 1 in 40 for women undergoing mammography versus 1 in 10 for women undergoing mammography combined with ultrasound screening. 3. Using the standardized technique and interpretive criteria developed for this study, other radiologists and facilities with similar equipment and experience should expect similar results.

Interview with Sherita Hill Golden, MD, MHS, author of Examining a Bidirectional Association Between Depressive Symptoms and Diabetes. Summary Points: 1. People with symptoms of depression are more likely to engage in diabetes-producing health behaviors, including eating more, exercising less, and smoking more. As a consequence, they were more obese. 2. People with elevated symptoms of depression had a 42 percent increased risk of developing Type 2 diabetes over 3 years. This was partially explained by unhealthy behaviors. 3. People with treated Type 2 diabetes had a 52 percent increased risk of developing depressive symptoms over 3 years. This suggests that individuals with diabetes should be monitored for development of depression.

Interview with Beverly Beth Green, MD, MPH, author of Effectiveness of Home Blood Pressure Monitoring, Web Communication, and Pharmacist Care on Hypertension Control: The e-BP Randomized Controlled Trial. Summary Points: 1. If blood pressure (BP) control could be improved, many deaths from cardiovascular and renal disease could be prevented. 2. The Chronic Care Model was used to design an intervention that empowered patients to be more involved in their own care using home BP monitoring, a patient shared electronic medical record, and Web-based pharmacist assistance. 3. The group of patients that received BP monitors and training to use an existing patient website (with encouragement to send their BP numbers to their physician) had a modest decrease in systolic blood pressure, but BP control did not significantly improve. The group that received BP monitors, web training, and web-based pharmacy assistance had greater decreases in BP and were almost two times as likely to have controlled BP.

Interview with H. George Nurnberg, MD, author of Sildenafil Treatment of Women With Antidepressant-Associated Sexual Dysfunction: A Randomized Controlled Trial. Summary Points: 1. Emergent sexual dysfunction (SD) is a principal reason for a three-fold increased risk of non-adherence that leads to increased relapse, recurrence, and poor disease management outcomes. 2. Selective phosphodiesterase-type 5 inhibitors (PDE5Is), limited to studies in men, have demonstrated evidence based data to support broad based and clinically meaningful treatment efficacy. 3. In an intention-to-treat analysis, women treated with sildenafil showed significant improvement in adverse sexual effects compared with those taking placebo. 4. Evidence shows that selective phosphodiesterase type 5 inhibitors are effective in both sexes for patients who have been effectively treated for depression but need to continue on their medication to avoid relapse or recurrence.

Interview with Ingrid E. Nygaard, MD, MS, author of Symptomatic Pelvic Floor Disorders in Women. Summary Points: 1. The three primary pelvic floor disorders include urinary and fecal incontinence, and pelvic organ prolapse. 2. In a national population-based sample, nearly one-quarter of U.S. women reported at least one symptomatic pelvic floor disorder: overall, 15.7 percent experienced moderate to severe urinary incontinence, 9.0 percent experienced fecal incontinence at least monthly and 2.9 percent experienced symptomatic pelvic organ prolapse (a bulge in the vagina they could see or feel). 3. Older women, overweight and obese women and multiparous women were more likely to report a pelvic floor disorder.

Interview with Rita Redberg, MD, MSc, author of Stress Testing to Document Ischemia Prior to Elective PCI. Summary Points: 1. A majority (55.5% ) of Medicare patients with stable coronary artery disease who underwent an elective percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) did not have a recommended stress test performed to document ischemia. 2. The rate of stress testing before elective PCI shows significant geographic variation, from a low of 22% in Fresno, CA to a high of 71% in Rochester, MN. 3. Patient characteristics (female sex, age of 85 years or older, and having co-existing illnesses) and physician characteristics (physicians who performed a higher volume of PCI procedures) were associated with lower rates of stress testing.

Interview with Brett D. Thombs, PhD, and Roy Ziegelstein, MD, authors of Depression Screening for Patients with Cardiovascular Disease. Summary Points: 1. Depression is a common and serious condition in patients with heart disease; therefore health care workers should inquire about symptoms of depression in their heart disease patients. 2. Our recent systematic review shows that there is not sufficient evidence at this time to call for routine screening for depression in patients with heart disease. 3. Additional research is needed to determine the optimal model(s) of care that will allow depression to be appropriately diagnosed and treated in patients with heart disease, particularly at times when these patients are being cared for primarily by heart disease experts rather than by experts in depression diagnosis and treatment.

Interview with David J.A. Jenkins, MD, PhD, author of Effect of a Low Glycemic Index or a High Cereal Fiber Diet on Type 2 Diabetes: A Randomized Trial. Summary Points: 1. Drugs such as the a–glucosidase inhibitor acarbose, which reduces the rate of digestion and absorption of carbohydrate and so flattens the post prandial glycemic response, have been shown to improve diabetes control, reduce the risk of developing hypertension, and lower the risk for cardiovascular disease. 2. Can a selection of more slowly digested carbohydrate foods achieve qualitatively similar benefits to drugs? Current data suggest that selection of diets containing low–glycemic intake foods have modest benefits in reducing glycated hemoglobin A1c even in patients with type 2 diabetes treated with 1 to 3 antihyperglycemic medications. 3. Foods with a low glycemic index include many traditional study foods such as dried peas, beans, lentils, intact-grain breads, pasta, oats, barley, parboiled rice, and temperate-climate fruits and berries. Low–glycemic index starchy foods are digested less readily in vitro. 4. Other effects include a tendency for higher high-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels, lower C-reactive protein values, and greater weight loss in the per-protocol completers, ie, those who completed the study with no change in medications.
