Father_Muller_HospitalMangalore, Jul 2: A new acquired advanced high-field Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) scanner was inaugurated by Bishop of Mangalore Dr Aloysius Paul D'Souza in the premises of Father Muller Medical College Hospital, here on Tuesday.

Speaking at the inaugural programme, Bishop Aloysius Paul D'Souza said that with advanced technology and new equipment in medical science, the doctors could serve patients better by protecting their health and prolonging their lives.

Head of Department of Radio Diagnosis and Imaging Dr H B Suresh said that acquiring another MRI scanner was inevitable when the waiting period for the existing scanner extended over few days.

Detailing the specifications of the advanced machine, Dr Ram said that the scanner was best for imaging organs with high water content.

It enables faster and better quality imaging, and can be used to perform imaging even for patients under anaesthesia. It can be used for magnetic resonance spectroscopy for calculation of brain tumours, magnetic resonance perfusion, imaging in oncology for head and neck tumours, of abdominal organs, whole spine and joints. It has the largest field of view and a wide bore to accommodate obese patients. However, there is also a risk of injuries, hence knowledge of the machine is necessary, he said.

Unable to attend the programme, Minister for Health and Family Welfare U T Khader sent a message lauding the services of the institution, which was read out in his absence.

Director of Father Muller Charitable Institutions Fr Patrick Rodrigues welcomed the gathering.

Dr B Sanjeev Rai and Dr J P Alva were present during the programme.

Bengaluru, Jan 25: The local police will provide security for Sri Nijagunananda Swami and his Kittur Nishkal Mantapa Mutt following a letter containing a threat to his life that was received on Friday.

The letter, containing the names of 15 liberal thinkers and activists, was circulated widely on social media and shown on some Kannada TV channels. The letter is addressed to the seer, and it condemns his lectures where he speaks in favour of liberal values.

“The decision to eliminate you will be taken on January 21. You will be eliminated, along with 15 of your followers and people who think like you,” the letter said. 

Among those threatened are Nidumamidi Channammalla Swami, Jnyana Prakash Swami, the former Chief Minister H.D. Kumaraswamy, actors Prakash Raj and Chetan Kumar, writer Chandrashekar Patil, Brinda Karat of the CPI(M) and writer K.S. Bhagavan.

It is not the first time that the seer is getting such threats. Two years ago, Belagavi Police had provided security to the seer following threats to his life. Last year, he got a phone call from a person from Shivamogga district. But the seer did not bother to complain.

This time, the district police will seek a written complaint from the seer. “We will assess the threat perception and the security levels. Adequate security will be provided,” the police said.

The seer is now camping in Jewargi in Kalaburagi district. “We have intimated the Kalaburagi Superintendent of Police of the need for immediate security arrangements. We will take steps to provide adequate security to him once he arrives in Belagavi district,” Superintendent of Police Lakshman Nimbaragi said.
