Advanced IOLs can create golden opportunities for active ageing adults, ET HealthWorld
We often notice this shift in the trend as they are more active, travel more, look younger—and are still working. In addition, 90 per cent of the people are willing to invest in cataract surgery . This disconnect is likely driven in part by surface-level conversations and a lack of education that hinders understanding of the procedure, IOL options and, in turn, the benefits that advanced IOLs can offer. Cataract surgery with advanced IOLs such as presbyopia correcting IOLs offers patients the opportunity to correct vision at multiple distances and decreases spectacle dependency. With these advanced IOLs, patients might not need glasses to see their computer or GPS/dashboard while driving—and only need readers for fine print, or not at all.

Modi chooses continuity over change
Except in the quirky quantum world, continuity and change are calamitous contradictions if forced to collide. Schrödinger’s cat comes to mind in the quantum world of Indian politics: alive and dead at the same time. Indians voted for continuity in the 2024 elections, giving Narendra Modi the third consecutive thumbs-up. The decisions and actions of the Modi government in the past few weeks indicate the cat metaphor has mutated: continuity has eclipsed change. All of its five full-time members were retained—vice chairman Suman Bery, Vijay Kumar Saraswat, Arvind Virmani, Ramesh Chand and Dr V K Paul.

International study says 11.8 lakh excess deaths in Covid pandemic in India, govt rejects findings
Data from this system shows death registration has increased by 4.74 lakh in 2020 compared to 2019, it said. "Notably, all excess deaths in a year in the CRS are not attributable to the pandemic. It is noteworthy that excess mortality during the pandemic means increase in deaths due to all causes, and cannot be equated with deaths that were directly caused by Covid, it said. The paper claims that excess mortality was greater in females and in younger age groups (particularly 0-19 year old children), it said. In conclusion, the all-cause excess mortality in 2020 compared with the previous year in India is markedly less than the 11.9 lakh deaths reported in the Science Advances paper.

Porsche replaces China boss amid sales slump
German luxury sportscar maker Porsche AG will replace the chief executive of its China business, it said on Saturday, a move that follows a major drop sales in the world's largest automotive market. Alexander Pollich will become Porsche China CEO on Sept. 1, 2024, at the earliest, the company said, replacing Michael Kirsch, who will move to another unspecified role within the company. With 57-year old Pollich, Porsche's China business will be led by an "internationally experienced sales expert" who has been with the company for more than 23 years, most recently as chairman of the executive board of Porsche Deutschland GmbH, the carmaker said. Porsche, which is majority-owned by Volkswagen, suffered a 33 per cent drop in China sales during the first half, it said earlier this month. China accounted for nearly 20 per cent of Porsche's global deliveries, and the group's shares have been under pressure as investors are concerned about growing trade tensions with China, a market where Porsche solely relies on imports.

Editorial on the Republican National Convention: Trump season
It would also appear that Republican strategists have deepened their appreciation of optics as far as Mr. Trump’s appeal among the electorate goes. Mr. Trump’s wife Melania made a rare appearance at the event, as did his 17-year-old granddaughter Kai, his daughter-in-law and co-chair of the Republican National Committee, Lara, Arkansas Governor Sarah Sanders, Mr. Trump’s former Press Secretary, and Indian American Usha Chilukuri Vance, who is the wife of Mr. Trump’s running mate, J.D. There is much to analyse in Mr. Trump picking the 39-year-old Mr. Vance for Vice Presidential candidate in the upcoming race. Mr. Trump is evidently keen to win over younger demographic cohorts in this election; he is also aligned to white, male America, and what it stands for in the country’s fraught politics today. While there is no denying Mr. Trump’s overall strong position and lead in swing states according to several national polls, three months is a long time in politics, and that certainly applies to the U.S.
