Within three weeks of launching an intensified tuberculosis screening campaign, a total of 1,794 persons were diagnosed with the disease in Tamil Nadu. In line with India’s mission to eliminate TB by 2025, the government of Tamil Nadu launched ‘Nikshay Shivir’ - Kasanoi Illaa Tamil Nadu Campaign - across 22 districts on December 7. The 100-day campaign focuses on proactive TB screening, awareness creation and comprehensive care particularly targeting vulnerable populations. Since its launch, around 1.4 lakh persons with presumptive TB were identified through verbal screening (symptom screening including fever and cold). Of them, 43,203 persons were offered any one test - either sputum or X-ray. Out of them, 1,794 patients were diagnosed with TB, Asha Frederick, State TB Officer, said. “The aim of the drive is to increase awareness. The drive focuses on the vulnerable population such as persons with diabetes, family members of past TB patients and past TB patients themselves. Through Makkalai Thedi Maruthuvam , we have a list of persons with diabetes. We have generated a block-wise line list for the campaign,” she said. The intensified TB screening drive aims at identifying cases early and initiating timely treatment. Vulnerable populations including those living in urban slums, tribal areas and underprivileged settings are the primary beneficiaries of the initiative, an official release said. Mobile diagnostic units, equipped with digital X-ray machines and Truenat/GeneXpert diagnostic tools, travel to remote and underserved areas to conduct TB screenings. It also facilitates on-the-spot diagnosis as those suspected to have TB undergo immediate sputum testing and chest X-rays, ensuring rapid diagnosis and initiation of treatment. The campaign includes an extensive sensitisation component to address the stigma surrounding TB and to promote awareness. Localised health camps, street plays, and interactive sessions are organised to educate communities about TB prevention, symptoms and treatment adherence. The initiative has led to a significant increase in TB case notifications particularly among vulnerable groups. The deployment of mobile diagnostic units and integration of advanced technology has strengthened the State’s healthcare capacity to combat TB, the release said.

The post, , has garnered over 2,800 likes and over 400 comments but it was the famous matriarch’s engagement that stood out amongst the crowd. However, things are not what they seem, let Knowles tell it. Less than 24 hours after reports of her liking the post made headlines, she to make it clear that she didn’t like the post after all and that people need to “stop playing with her.” “I was hacked! As you all know, I do not play about my family. So if you see something uncharacteristic of me just know that it is not me!” the post read with a further warning in the caption: “No weapon formed against me shall prosper.” In the comments section, friends and followers lobbed their support behind her with acclaimed marketing executive Bozoma Saint John writing: “And we don’t play about YOU! Added famed costume designer and creative director June Ambrose, “Amen ‘no weapons.’” Veteran actress Holly Robinsonson Peete also chimed in by simply adding prayer hands emojis. However, over on X/Twitter, folks weren’t so understanding: “I know tina knowles hacker is tired of being blamed for her messiness,” one user. “Nobody gets their IG hacked more often than Tina Knowles,” another . “Who sitting there saying ‘Let’s go hack Tina Knowles’ Don’t piss me OFFF,” another.NEW YORK (AP) — U.S. stock indexes drifted lower in the runup to the highlight of the week for the market, the latest update on inflation. The S&P 500 slipped 0.3% Tuesday and marked its first back-to-back losses in three weeks. The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 0.3%, and the Nasdaq composite also fell 0.3%. Oracle dragged on the market after reporting weaker growth than analysts expected. Treasury yields rose in the bond market ahead of Wednesday’s inflation report, which will be among the final big pieces of data before the Federal Reserve’s meeting on interest rates next week. THIS IS A BREAKING NEWS UPDATE. AP’s earlier story follows below. NEW YORK (AP) — U.S. stock indexes are drifting lower Tuesday in the runup to the highlight of the week for the market, the latest update on inflation that’s coming on Wednesday. The S&P 500 dipped by 0.2% in late trading, a day after pulling back from its latest all-time high . The index is on track for its first back-to-back losses in more than three weeks, as momentum slows following a big rally that has it on track for one of its best years of the millennium . The Dow Jones Industrial Average was down by 7 points, or less than 0.1%, with roughly an hour remaining in trading, and the Nasdaq composite fell 0.3%. Tech titan Oracle dragged on the market and sank 7.8% after reporting growth for the latest quarter that fell just short of analysts’ expectations. It was one of the heaviest weights on the S&P 500, even though CEO Safra Catz said the company saw record demand related to artificial-intelligence technology for its cloud infrastructure business, which trains generative AI models. AI has been a big source of growth that’s helped many companies’ stock prices skyrocket. Oracle’s stock had already leaped nearly 81% for the year coming into Tuesday, which raised the bar of expectations for its profit report. C3.ai fell 2.1% despite reporting a smaller loss for the latest quarter than analysts expected. The AI software company increased its forecast for how big a loss it expects to take this fiscal year from its operations. In the bond market, Treasury yields ticked higher ahead of Wednesday’s report on the inflation that U.S. consumers are feeling. Economists expect it to show roughly similar increases as the month before. That and a report on Thursday about inflation at the wholesale level will be the final big pieces of data the Federal Reserve will get before its meeting next week, where many investors expect the year’s third cut to interest rates . The Fed has been easing its main interest rate from a two-decade high since September to lift the slowing jobs market, after bringing inflation nearly down to its 2% target. Lower rates would help give support to the economy, but they could also provide more fuel for inflation. The yield on the 10-year Treasury rose to 4.22% from 4.20% late Monday. Even though the Fed has been cutting its main interest rate, mortgage rates have been more stubborn and have been volatile since the autumn. That has hampered the housing industry, and homebuilder Toll Brothers’ stock fell 5.2% even though it beat analysts’ expectations for profit and revenue in the latest quarter. CEO Douglas Yearley Jr. said the luxury builder has been seeing strong demand since the start of its fiscal year six weeks ago, an encouraging signal as it approaches the beginning of the spring selling season in mid-January Elsewhere on Wall Street, Alaska Air Group soared 13.6% after raising its forecast for profit in the current quarter. The airline said demand for flying around the holidays has been stronger than expected. It also approved a plan to buy back up to $1 billion of its stock, along with new service from Seattle to Tokyo and Seoul . Boeing climbed 5.2% after saying it's resuming production of its bestselling plane , the 737 Max, for the first time since 33,000 workers began a seven-week strike that ended in early November. Vail Resorts rose 2.7% after the ski resort operator reported a narrower first-quarter loss than expected in what is traditionally its worst quarter. In stock markets abroad, indexes were mixed in China after the world’s second-largest economy said its exports rose by less than expected in November. Stocks rose 0.6% in Shanghai but fell 0.5% in Hong Kong. ___ AP Business Writers Matt Ott and Elaine Kurtenbach contributed. Stan Choe, The Associated PressATLANTA — The cycle of mediocrity had a chance to add something of meaning Saturday at State Farm Arena. Instead, no three-game winning streak for the Miami Heat, just a 120-110 loss to the Atlanta Hawks at Philips Arena and a 15-14 record going into Sunday night’s game against the Houston Rockets to conclude this three-game trip. After victories over the Brooklyn Nets and Orlando Magic earlier in the week, the Heat could not continue the success in the enduring absence of Jimmy Butler, even with the Hawks even more shorthanded. Unlike Thursday in Orlando, when the Heat overcame trailing almost the entire way, this time there was no breakthrough, even with guard Tyler Herro going for 28 points, 10 assists and seven rebounds and center Bam Adebayo with a 17-point, 10-rebound double-double. The Hawks got 28 points from forward Jalen Johnson, 26 from forward De’Andre Hunter and 15 assists from guard Trae Young. Five Degrees of Heat from Saturday’s game: — 1. Closing time: The Hawks led 35-28 at the end of the first period, 61-58 at halftime and 93-84 going into the fourth quarter. From there, a 29-foot 3-pointer by Herro pulled the Heat within 106-105 with 4:07 to play. It again was a one-point game with 3:28 to play after an Adebayo jumper. After two potential Heat go-ahead shots were off, the Hawks moved to a 110-107 lead with 2:39 to play on a pair of Hunter free throws. From there, the Heat misses continued, with Hawks running clock and moving to a 117-107 lead with 68 seconds left, effectively ending it. — 2. Waiting game: With Butler reportedly ramping up his workouts back in Miami, the Heat opened for the third consecutive game with Jaime Jaquez Jr. in his place. It was the fourth consecutive absence for Butler and his ninth of the season, with the Heat entering 4-4 in his absence. Butler already has been ruled out for Sunday night’s game against the Houston Rockets that closes out this three-game trip. The reasoning for Butler’s absence on the NBA’s injury report again on Saturday was, “return to competition reconditioning.” The expectation, amid a fluid situation that has included ample trade speculation, is that Butler will rejoin the Heat for the team’s next practice, which is scheduled for Tuesday at Kaseya Center, ahead of back-to-back home games the following two nights against the New Orleans Pelicans and Indiana Pacers. Asked pregame of perhaps growing accustomed to playing in Butler’s absence, Heat coach Erik Spoelstra said, “Either way, we’ve proven that we can win regardless. It doesn’t matter.” — 3. More breaks: Even in Butler’s absence, the Heat again found themselves against an opponent at an even greater personnel deficit. Following up on the Heat’s two games in Orlando, when the Magic were without Paolo Banchero and Frank Wagner, among others, the Heat this time got the Hawks in Atlanta’s absences of Dyson Daniels, Bogdan Bogdanovic and Onyeka Okongwu. Three Heat players whose status was unsure going into the day all were available: Terry Rozier (knee), Nikola Jovic (ankle) and Pelle Larsson (ankle). That left Butler, Josh Richardson (heel) and Dru Smith (Friday’s season-ending Achilles surgery) as the only players not available to Spoelstra. — 4. All-Star competition?: Among those who figure to vie for one of the final Eastern Conference All-Star berths are Herro and Johnson. Johnson continually took it to the Heat in the paint, while Herro again made statements with the long ball. Johnson entered as one of just four players averaging at least 19 points, 10 rebounds, and five assists, along with Nikola Jokic, Domantas Sabonis and Giannis Antetokounmpo. For his part, Herro extended his career best streak of games with at least one 3-pointer to 63, six games off Duncan Robinson’s franchise record. Herro has now converted a 3-pointer in the season’s first 29 games, on Saturday breaking the longest such Heat 3-pointer streak to open a season, set in 1998-99 by Tim Hardaway. — 5. Going big: With first-round pick Kel’el Ware now seemingly entrenched in the Heat rotation, Spoelstra went big with the Heat’s first substitution, with Ware and Jovic entering together at that point. Another element of a revised rotation continued, with Alec Burks also among the Heat’s early substitutions. With Rozier and Larsson also part of the mix, it had Spoelstra going 10 deep by the early stages of the second period, perhaps in light of another game to follow Sunday in Houston. Ware again was largely nondescript in his 10 minutes, closing with four points and one rebound. ©2024 South Florida Sun-Sentinel. Visit sun-sentinel.com . Distributed by Tribune Content Agency, LLC.
