The Madras High Court has refused to interfere with the Tamil Nadu government's practice of providing incentive marks for admission in post graduate (PG) medical courses to government doctors who had served in rural, remote and hilly areas after completion of their MBBS course. Chief Justice S.Gangapurwala and Justice P.Audikesavalu held that the court need not interfere with a policy decision of the State government when the objective behind the grant of incentive marks was "laudable and benevolent" and such practice was not barred by any statute, rule or regulation.

Newswise — The world's largest study of cerebral palsy (CP) genetics has discovered genetic defects are most likely responsible for more than a quarter of cases in Chinese children, rather than a lack of oxygen at birth as previously thought. The study, published in the prestigious scientific journal, Nature Medicine, used modern genomic sequencing and found mutations were significantly higher in CP cases with birth asphyxia, indicating a lack of oxygen could be secondary to the underlying genetic defect.

Americans consider marijuana to be less harmful than alcohol, cigarettes, vapes and other tobacco products, according to new data from Gallup. And at the same time, cannabis use has "surpassed cigarette usage in the U.S., while vaping still trails both," the polling firm says. The survey represents a continuation of a years-long trend, with American adults increasingly abandoning cigarettes as awareness of their public health risks expands.
