肺がん検診において、50歳以上のたばこを多く吸う人を対象に胸部エックス線検査と併用されている「たんの検査」について、厚生労働省の有識者検討会は10日、検査の効果が小さくなっているとして、2025年以降、肺がん検診から除外する方針を示しました。
これは近年の喫煙率の低下により、たん検査によって得られる効果や検診の有効性が減少しているためです。

**FDA Uncovers Counterfeit Allopathy and Ayurvedic Medicines in Pune Amid Nationwide Concern**
Amid growing nationwide concerns over counterfeit medicines, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has uncovered a shocking case in Pune involving fake allopathy and Ayurvedic medicines being supplied in the market.
In a disturbing revelation, paracetamol was reportedly being sold under the label of azithromycin, a widely used antibiotic. The FDA’s inspection further revealed adulteration not only in antibiotics but also among tablets used to control blood pressure and diabetes.
### Major Raids and Seizures
Between April and September, the FDA conducted raids that led to the seizure of counterfeit medicines worth ₹61.67 lakh from two manufacturers — an allopathy company based in Shikrapur and an Ayurvedic firm in Thane.
From the Shikrapur unit alone, fake azithromycin tablets along with adulterated medicines for diabetes and hypertension, valued at ₹55.62 lakh, were confiscated. Additionally, Ayurvedic medicines worth ₹6.05 lakh were seized during a separate operation.
“In the Pune division, we regularly inspect 66 manufacturers and sellers. Action has been taken against two companies between April and September this year, and samples from 15 locations were tested,” said Girish Hukre, Joint Commissioner, FDA, Pune Division.
### Public Health Concerns
Authorities confirmed that the Shikrapur-based company had supplied azithromycin tablets to certain municipal hospitals in Pune, raising serious concerns about patient safety. Cases have been registered against both manufacturers, and further investigations are ongoing.
Medical experts and pharmacists have demanded that the administration tighten surveillance measures to prevent counterfeit medicines from entering the city’s supply chain. Meanwhile, some drug dealers have questioned how many vendors had their licenses revoked for selling such fake products.
### Context: Rising Deaths Linked to Contaminated Medicines
These revelations come in the wake of several child deaths in Madhya Pradesh and Rajasthan linked to contaminated cough syrup. Following these tragic incidents, the FDA has intensified checks on cough syrups across the Pune division.
As a result, many local drug dealers have already stopped selling syrups from the suspected companies.
### Government Response and Future Measures
Health Minister Prakash Abitkar assured the public that strict action will be taken against those involved in manufacturing and supplying counterfeit medicines. He stated, “A Drug Detection Machine will soon be deployed across the state to ensure the quality of medicines. Government hospital supplies must match the quality standards of private institutions.”
Meanwhile, the Directorate General of Health Services (DGHS) has issued an advisory recommending that cough syrups should not be given to children under two years of age, as the chemicals may not break down properly in their bodies and could have toxic effects. The advisory also cautions against administering such syrups to children under five years old, who are prone to adverse side effects.

**Ted Kennedy Refused to Let Troubled Wife Joan Join Alcoholics Anonymous to Protect His Political Career**
*Published Oct. 8, 2025, 4:30 p.m. ET*
RadarOnline.com can reveal that the late Senator Ted Kennedy refused to let his troubled wife, Joan Bennett Kennedy, join Alcoholics Anonymous (A.A.) out of fear over how it would reflect on him and his political career. Joan, who passed away peacefully in her sleep on Wednesday, October 8, at the age of 89, struggled with alcoholism exacerbated by the difficulties in her marriage.
Forced to endure her philandering husband Ted Kennedy’s relentless affairs and abuse, Joan’s drinking spiraled out of control. However, the Massachusetts senator forbade her from attending A.A. meetings, fearing that her story would damage his political reputation.
Joan’s alcoholism was a closely guarded secret within the Kennedy family — and Ted made sure it stayed that way.
“Almost everyone in the political community thought Ted had the perfect political wife, the envy of the capital,” recalled author Laurence Leamer, who wrote the explosive book *The Kennedy Women*. “But the Kennedys were desperately worried that Joan’s condition would become public knowledge.”
Leamer added that Joan begged to go to A.A., but Ted wouldn’t allow it. “The Senator — which is how Joan refers to him — wouldn’t let his wife get help, though she was in desperate need and pleaded for it, because he wouldn’t let anyone know she was an alcoholic,” he said. “The family was used to putting up a wall, constructing a sham, living a lie. It’s what they always did.”
### Joan Gives In to Her Addiction
Instead of allowing Joan to get help from A.A., Ted found a priest who was also a psychiatrist to treat her. This arrangement ensured confidentiality, as they could be doubly sure he wouldn’t disclose anything.
“I talked to him and all I do is wait until he left and go into my closet and get a bottle of vodka,” Joan once said about her treatment.
She admitted that her drinking worsened after Ted’s infamous accident at Chappaquiddick in 1969. “I just didn’t care anymore,” she said. “I just saw no future. That’s when I truly became an alcoholic.”
### Ted’s Fatal Car Crash Scandal
In July 1969, Ted Kennedy was involved in a fatal car accident when he drove his vehicle off a narrow bridge on Chappaquiddick Island into Poucha Pond after leaving a party with passenger Mary Jo Kopechne. Ted claimed he was dropping her off at the ferry.
While Ted managed to free himself and swim to safety, Kopechne was trapped in the car and tragically died. The prominent lawmaker insisted he attempted to rescue her.
Despite the damaging optics of the incident, Joan—who was pregnant after suffering two miscarriages—stood by her husband’s side when they attended Kopechne’s funeral and again three days later when Ted pled guilty to fleeing the scene of an accident.
### Drinking to ‘Numb the Pain’
In 1978, Joan confessed that she began drinking heavily to numb the pain of public scandals. She shared, “At times I drank to feel less inhibited, to relax at parties. Other times I drank to block out unhappiness, to drown my sorrows.”
Joan participated in a twelve-step program but candidly admitted, “Staying sober is difficult.” Her battle with sobriety was a rollercoaster. Over the years, she was arrested four times for driving under the influence—the first in 1974 and the last in 2000.
Following her final DUI arrest, Joan appointed a guardian and retreated from public life.
### Separation and Divorce
After years of scandal and heartbreak, Joan and Ted separated in 1978. However, they did not officially divorce until 1982.
Joan Bennett Kennedy’s life was marked by personal struggle amid the backdrop of a powerful political dynasty, revealing the painful challenges she faced behind the scenes.

Kerala (Thiruvananthapuram): Health Minister Veena George has announced a ban on all medicines manufactured by Sresan Pharmaceuticals, a company based in Kanchipuram, Tamil Nadu. This decision follows the cancellation of the company’s manufacturing license by the Tamil Nadu Drugs Controller. Consequently, these medicines are prohibited from distribution and sale within Kerala.
In a related development, the Gujarat Drugs Controller reported that Respifresh TR syrup (60ml, Batch No. R01GL2523), produced by Rednex Pharmaceuticals Pvt. Ltd., Ahmedabad, failed to meet required quality standards. In response, the Kerala Drugs Control Department has immediately halted the distribution and sale of this medicine throughout the state. The syrup had been distributed by five suppliers in Kerala, all of whom have now been instructed to stop its distribution. Strict action will be taken against anyone found selling the drug illegally.
The public has been advised not to use this medicine if they currently possess it. The Health Minister clarified that these banned medicines are not supplied through government hospitals. Additionally, strict action will be taken against establishments that provide this medicine to children under 12 years of age without a prescription from a registered doctor.
Earlier, following the death of at least 14 children after consuming Coldrif syrup in Madhya Pradesh’s Chhindwara, the Kerala government constituted a committee to submit a report on the management of pediatric cough syrups. On Tuesday, Kerala Health Minister Veena George stated that the State Drugs Controller has imposed a ban on the specific cough syrup Coldrif, and the Kerala Medical Services Corporation Limited (KMSCL) does not supply this syrup to government hospitals.
Speaking to ANI, Minister Veena George said, “It’s unfortunate that 16 children died after consuming the cough syrup Coldrif. The Government of India has issued an advisory regarding the consumption of cough syrup. In Kerala, the Drugs Controller has issued a notification banning the sale of this particular cough syrup Coldrif in all pharmacies across the state.”
She further emphasized, “ColdRif is not included in our essential drugs list. It is not provided by KMSCL, which supplies medicines to government hospitals. However, we are ensuring that the sale of this syrup is completely stopped in private hospitals and pharmacies.”
The Minister noted that the committee on pediatric cough syrups will soon submit its report to the Kerala Government. “We have previously taken similar strict enforcement actions regarding antibiotics within the state. This committee specifically focuses on the management of pediatric cough, ensuring irrelevant combinations are not present in syrups. We plan to issue comprehensive guidelines concerning pediatric cough management, which is crucial,” she explained.
Minister Veena George also raised concerns about medical prescriptions saying, “Doctors have been prescribing cough syrups to children under the age of two years, which is neither advisable nor scientific. We do have protocols in place prohibiting cough syrup administration to children under two.”
She added, “This incident highlights the disregard for these protocols. The Kerala Health Department has instructed the Drugs Controller to issue notices to pharmacies prohibiting the sale of pediatric drugs without a doctor’s prescription.”
The Kerala government remains committed to ensuring the safety and well-being of children by strictly regulating the distribution and sale of pediatric medicines across the state.

**Federal Push Urges Medical Schools to Teach Nutrition**
The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) recently mandated that medical schools incorporate nutrition education into their curricula. Moreover, organizations responsible for medical education standards were given two weeks to develop plans to include nutrition training in licensing exams and residency requirements.
Two local medical schools say they are already prepared, having integrated nutrition education for years.

**Longstanding Nutrition Curricula at Local Medical Schools**
At Drexel University College of Medicine in Philadelphia, the nutrition curriculum dates back to the late 1990s. Michael White, professor emeritus of pharmacology and physiology at Drexel, explained that medical students receive around 20 hours of class time covering topics such as vitamins, food labels, and assessing patients’ energy and nutrition needs during hospital stays.
“Given how much nutrition we already cover, we don’t have much to worry about with that declaration from HHS and the Department of Education,” White said. He emphasized that the faculty at Drexel has long considered nutrition an essential part of health education, which is why their program includes it extensively.

**Cooper Medical School’s Comprehensive Approach**
Cooper Medical School of Rowan University in New Jersey teaches nutrition across various courses and also engages students in nutrition-focused research and community service projects.
Sangita Phadtare, assistant dean and professor of biomedical sciences, shared examples of student involvement in the community, such as participating in a local community garden to grow fresh vegetables. Students have also collaborated with local groups to educate Spanish-speaking residents on interpreting food labels and building healthy meals from affordable ingredients like dried beans and frozen vegetables — especially for those without access to cars.
“As a school, we try to do our part because we believe that Camden is our home. It’s not just our workplace,” Phadtare said. “Even though I would say that we fare well, there is always scope for doing more.”
She added, “We, as a medical education community, think that nutrition is important. Even without being told, we should be doing that.”

**The Federal Initiative for Enhanced Nutrition Education**
At the end of August, HHS and the Department of Education launched this initiative, urging leading medical education organizations nationwide to implement comprehensive nutrition education immediately.
In an editorial, U.S. Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. compared the needed swift adaptation to nutrition training to the rapid pivot to telehealth services at the start of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020.
Kennedy cited research showing that most U.S. medical schools did not require nutrition training, and many doctors felt uncomfortable discussing nutrition with patients.

**Expert Reactions and Current Status**
Paul Wischmeyer, professor of anesthesiology and surgery at Duke University, described the current state of nutrition education in medical schools as a crisis. Although he noted a shortage of nutrition experts in the U.S. to meet the new demands, he expressed excitement about the increased recognition of nutrition’s fundamental role in health care.
“The recognition finally that nutrition is fundamental to all of our lives and to health care in particular is really an exciting opportunity, one that I’ve perhaps waited my whole career to see,” Wischmeyer said.
Recent data from August, however, show that all U.S. medical schools already teach nutrition in some form, according to the Association of American Medical Colleges (AAMC), the organization representing medical schools.

**Nutrition’s Role in Osteopathic Medicine**
Nutrition’s importance is also recognized in osteopathic medical education. Robert Cain, president of the American Association of Colleges of Osteopathic Medicine, stated that although nutrition education is not new in osteopathic programs, the current focus offers a chance to enhance ongoing efforts.

**Next Steps and Commitment**
A press secretary for the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services confirmed that universities have begun committing to the changes, and all organizations responsible for medical education standards in the U.S. have responded to the initiative.

**Maharashtra Sports Minister Advocates for NCC Training at School Level to Promote Discipline and Leadership**
*Mumbai:* Maharashtra Sports Minister Adv. Manikrao Kokate has directed that National Cadet Corps (NCC) training should be implemented at the school level to instill discipline, physical fitness, and leadership qualities among students.
### Promoting Patriotism, Sports, and Discipline
Speaking at a meeting on NCC, Scouts, and Guides held at the state ministry today, Minister Kokate emphasized that early exposure to such training would strengthen patriotism, discipline, and interest in sports among students.
School Education Minister Dadaji Bhuse suggested submitting a proposal to the central government to initiate NCC training at the school level.
### Officers and Stakeholders Present
The meeting was attended by Commissioner Sheetal Teli, Director of Teachers Rahul Rekhawar, NCC Captain J. George, Assistant Director Milind Dixit, Deputy Director of Education Dr. Vandana Vahul, and Under Secretary of the School Education Department Aniruddha Kulkarni.
### Teacher Training and Sports Development
Minister Kokate stated that with the support of ex-servicemen, NCC students, and sports teachers, school teachers should be trained in sports and physical fitness activities.
He emphasized that compulsory sports training at an early age would foster physical fitness, self-discipline, and critical thinking.
Additionally, the Minister suggested developing strategies to encourage participation in international competitions like the Olympics and increasing the number of sports teachers.
Special incentives could be offered to outstanding athletes when recruiting them as teachers.
### Benefits of NCC and Scouts Programs
NCC training, he noted, is an effective tool to develop leadership skills, character, a spirit of service, and sportsmanship. It also prepares a disciplined youth force that can assist during national emergencies.
Through Scouts and Guides programs, students from rural, urban, and tribal areas are taught tolerance and ethical values.
### Current NCC Enrollment
According to information shared during the meeting, in the 2023-24 academic year, a total of 100,884 students were enrolled in NCC programs across schools and colleges in Maharashtra. This includes 61,328 students in the junior division and 39,502 in the senior division.
