A Russian super airplane bringing medical drugs and devices to India hit by the third Corona wave. The BBC reports from Northern Ireland:  

More aid is coming from Germany and other Western countries. The daily infections rate mounted to about 400.000. Oxygen for treatment and human resources are lacking. One of the hotspots is the state of Maharashtra with the megacity of Mumbai (Bombay) in the West. How is the famous charity ADAPT (formerly Spastic Society of India) providing physical and psychological treatment for handicapped children (mostly from its shanty-town Dharavi)? I am in contact with its staff:

"Hope you and the other people of ADAPT are safe. Please let me know how you are protecting the handicapped children in Dharavi. How is vaccination going on in Mumbai?

Best wishes from Ekkehard"

Answer from Varsha, deputy of Dr Mithu Alur, the charity's founder, on 07/05/2021: 

Hi. We are all safe, thank you. Dr. Alur had started tele therapy and online teaching immediately so we are in touch with the children and young adults. Some have returned to their villages of course.... They've started vaccinating you above 18 now... Most of us have taken the first dose of the vaccine. Waiting for enough vaccines to be available for the second shot. Hope you and Helen are well... And have taken both the shots. Regards".

    Various ailments can affect the knee, which extremely vulnerable and prone to injury.
    For each potential problem, a different treatment may
    be required, ranging from surgery to physical therapy or the use of a knee brace.
    Often, a combination of treatments are required, but the proper bracing will relieve pressure from the
    knee and provide stability. A brace can be used
    to relieve pain and rest the knee if there is a strain. It can also be useful as an alternative to surgery, and it provides relief from pain resulting from injury or a permanent, disabling condition.

    Obese or even some of the overweight people find that they have leg problems as the increase
    in the weight releases extra pressure on their blood vessels that
    result in swelling of veins and this is mainly due to improper circulation of
    blood. Juzo stockings improve blood circulation in the leg and provide a gentle compression that is right
    for the health of the legs. There is increase in the compression gradually starting from
    the bottom of the feet.
