TOPSPIN Study by the Centre for Chronic Disease Control (CCDC) Finds Two-drug Combination Therapies Effective in Improving Blood Pressure Control in Indians

A new study, entitled TOPSPIN, coordinated by the Centre for Chronic Disease Control (CCDC) New Delhi, in collaboration with the All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) New Delhi, and Imperial College London, examined 1,981 patients with uncontrolled hypertension across 32 hospitals in India. The findings showed that three two-drug combination therapies – Amlodipine plus Perindopril, Amlodipine plus Indapamide, and Perindopril plus Indapamide – were equally effective and safe in lowering both ambulatory and office blood pressure. TOPSPIN is the first-ever randomised study to test the choice of first-line two-drug combination therapy in a single pill among South Asians. The study findings are published in Nature Medicine, one of the top medicine journals.

A doctor checking the blood pressure of a patient

South-Asians represent one-fourth of the world population, and India alone constitutes one-sixth of the global population. Hypertension is a public health crisis affecting over one billion adults worldwide, including over 300 million living in India. Innovative solutions are needed to curb the growing tide of high blood pressure, which is the single highest risk factor for global deaths, and which requires effective management solutions. Current guidelines widely recommend initiating treatment with two-drug combinations, preferably in a single-pill formulation, to enhance blood pressure control. However, the suitability of these combinations for the South-Asian population remains unknown, as there are no studies in this regard.

The key takeaways are that all three combinations were equally effective in reducing blood pressure and were safe for patients.

What did the TOPSPIN study find

  • Blood pressure dropped significantly after 6 months, by around 14/8 mmHg when measured over 24 hours and about 30/14 mmHg in clinic settings.

  • Nearly 70% of patients reached the recommended blood pressure target below 140/90 mmHg, five times higher than India’s current average control rate.

  • The pills were well-tolerated, with less than 3% of patients reporting side effects serious enough to stop treatment.
    ​

What do the Study leaders say

“This study shows that a single daily pill with two drugs can be a simple and powerful way to manage blood pressure in Indian and South Asian patients,” said Prof. Dorairaj Prabhakaran, Executive Director of CCDC and one of the study’s lead authors. “These findings can help guide doctors and policymakers. If added to India’s list of essential medicines and made available at primary health centres, these pills could greatly improve blood pressure control in the country.”

Prof. Ambuj Roy, Professor of Cardiology at AIIMS Delhi, added, “Nearly 70% of patients got their blood pressure under control, a huge improvement over the current national average. And the pills were safe and easy to use. This study gives clear guidance for better hypertension care.”

Prof. Neil Poulter, Professor at Imperial College London, emphasized the importance of studying how medicines work in different populations. “Just as earlier research in Africa showed different results, this study gives strong evidence on what works best in South Asians.”
​

The TOPSPIN study results could help improve treatment not only in India, but also for South Asians living around the world.

Groundbreaking “First” – Porunai Hospitals Pioneers South Tamil Nadu’s First Video-Assisted Thoracoscopic Surgery (VATS) Lobectomy

Porunai Hospitals, a multi-speciality hospital, puts Tirunelveli in the spotlight with the successful completion of the region’s first-ever advanced Video-Assisted Thoracoscopic Surgery (VATS) lobectomy – a breakthrough in lung lobe resection! This complex, minimally invasive procedure-once limited to large metropolitan healthcare centres-is a pioneering step towards making advanced thoracic care accessible to patients in South Tamil Nadu.

https://www.newsvoir.com/images/article/image1/32725_VATS_image.jpg

Minimally invasive VATS lobectomy at Porunai Hospital using small incisions and a camera to reduce lung trauma and speed up recovery

By achieving this significant milestone, Porunai Hospitals alleviates the need for conventional open thoracotomy – an approach that requires a very large incision, often necessitating the breaking of ribs to access the lung. Resection through open thoracotomy causes considerable discomfort and pain, increases the risk of complications, and prolongs the recovery period.

The advanced VATS technique, however, requires only a single, small incision through which a specialised camera and other surgical instruments are inserted to perform the complete resection of the lung lobe – with remarkable precision and without the need for a large cut or rib spreading.

Porunai Hospitals is proud to introduce this advanced surgery that benefits patients with:

  • Reduced surgical trauma and post-operative pain

  • Smaller incisions and minimum risk of infection

  • Shorter hospital stay and expedited hospital discharge

  • Quicker post-surgical recovery and return to routine activities

Their surgical precision and medical expertise were pivotal in navigating the complexities of this procedure. Porunai Hospitals’ anaesthesiology and critical care teams also deserve special recognition for meticulously managing the patient’s physiological vitals throughout the procedure. With this multi-disciplinary approach, Porunai Hospitals is alleviating the need to seek long-distance medical care.

This VATS procedure is a significant advancement for thoracic surgery here in South Tamil Nadu,” said Dr D.R. Sivakumar, Medical Superintendent, Head of Surgery Division, General and Laparoscopic Surgeon. “We are now able to offer patients requiring lung resection a far less traumatic option with faster recovery and better outcomes compared to traditional open surgery. Performing this here at Porunai Hospitals underscores our commitment to bringing the latest surgical techniques and the highest standards of care closer to our community”, he further elaborated. Dr D.R. Sivakumar concluded, saying, “It’s a testament to the collaborative expertise of our surgical and anaesthesiology teams.”

In addition to this landmark achievement, a spokesperson from Porunai Hospitals highlighted another key clinical milestone – the successful completion of 660 procedures across various specialities since the hospital’s establishment in November 2024.

Among these, the most frequently performed procedures were:

  • Coronary Angiogram

  • Percutaneous Coronary Intervention

  • Urological procedures, including:

  1. Retrograde Intrarenal Surgery (RIRS)

  2. Percutaneous Nephrolithotomy (PCNL)

  • Laparoscopic Appendectomy

About Porunai Hospitals
Porunai Hospitals is one of Tirunelveli’s top healthcare destinations in the South Tamil Nadu region – offering a top-notch, comprehensive range of medical services with a focus on an empathetic, patient-centric care approach. The institution is powered by state-of-the-art medical technology and a team of diversely talented doctors – whose expertise puts Porunai Hospitals on the map for cutting-edge healthcare.

Anant National University and Penn GSE Host ICERM 2025 to Develop India-based Indigenous Research Project

Anant National University, in collaboration with the Graduate School of Education at the University of Pennsylvania, United States (also known as Penn GSE), hosted the Indigenous Consciousness Education Research Methodology Convening on 25-26 July 2025 at the Anant campus. The convening brought together leading scholars, education policy experts and practitioners to explore Indigenous Consciousness research methodologies, establishing the foundation for an India-based research project – Indigenous Consciousness Methodology Education Research Project (ICER).

Anant National University & Penn GSE Host ICERM 2025 to Develop India-based Indigenous Research Project

The convening marked a significant step in advancing Indigenous Consciousness Methodologies, an approach that honours local knowledge systems, prioritises community-engaged practices and fosters sustainable, equitable educational frameworks. Through ICER, set to be launched for the academic year 2025-2026, Anant aims to inform the design and development of education policy by ensuring that Indigenous perspectives remain central to shaping impactful and culturally responsive learning models.

This initiative is closely aligned with the vision outlined in India’s National Education Policy (NEP) 2020, which advocates for inclusive, locally grounded education models that preserve and promote indigenous knowledge systems.

Launching the convening, Dr Sanjeev Vidyarthi, Provost, Anant National University, observed, “Anant National University is a diverse and dynamic institution on the move where creative ideas evolve into purposeful action and where students learn to lead meaningful change in our rapidly changing world. Indigenous knowledge forms an integral part of our design pedagogy, and this convening perfectly aligns with our educational philosophy that integrates indigenous knowledge and contemporary design practices.”

Dr Leland S McGee, Adjunct Assistant Professor, Penn GSE and Senior Associate Director,GSE Office of Student Success, University of Pennsylvania and a SCoPE Scholar at Anant National University, said, “Indigenous knowledge systems are often associated with only the tribal communities. However, they form an integral part of the traditional knowledge of countless communities across the world. Through this convening, we aim to explore how indigenous knowledge and its impact can help us better design education, policy and systems for the betterment of future generations.”

The intent of the convening was to interrogate, expose and undo the dangers and desires of colonisation in education through indigenous consciousness. We focused on bringing all the stakeholders of education into conversation, including policy-makers, teachers, researchers and students. Collectively, we aspire to contribute to creating an educational framework that listens deeply, acts justly and honours all,” added Dr Diti Vyas, Associate Professor | School of Creative Practices and Entrepreneurship (SCoPE), Anant National University.

The convening advances Anant’s collaboration with Penn GSE, expanding efforts in global education innovation. Anant and Penn GSE previously hosted The Future of Learning Collaborative in 2023, which led to the launch of an influential White Paper as an urgent call to redesign the global education system in response to sweeping changes that are reshaping human existence.

Through the ongoing partnership, the two universities foster cooperative research, facilitate international exchanges, enhance the quality of learning, extend the reach of both institutions and collaborate on the exchange of academic materials and initiatives that advance matters of mutual academic interests.

A leading Ivy League institution, the University of Pennsylvania Graduate School of Education (Penn GSE) has a century-long tradition of producing education leaders driven by innovation, research and social impact. Penn GSE actively partners with schools, universities and communities around the world to improve educational access and equity.

As part of its mission to promote global engagement in all its forms, the University of Pennsylvania, through Penn Global, administers a competitive global engagement grant programme. This initiative provides resources to faculty and staff to support a broad range of research, teaching, service and engagement activities both globally and in specific focus countries and regions.


With this convening, Anant has taken another major step toward equitably inclusive education, ensuring that Indigenous knowledge systems receive due recognition and representation in research and policy discourse. This effort reinforces Anant’s vision to drive innovative, locally relevant education methodologies and materials rooted in India’s vibrant local cultures, regional diversities and national aspirations.

Smart Hydration for All: Tetra Pak’s Ready-To-Drink ORS Distribution Drive Marks World ORS Day

In recognition of World ORS Day, a city-wide initiative led by the TSL Foundation and supported by Tetra Pak, Halewood, Kenvue, and Alkem, distributed over 3 lakh Ready-to-Drink (RTD) ORS packs to residents across key cities in West Bengal, Maharashtra and Uttar Pradesh. The campaign aimed to raise awareness about the importance of safe, effective hydration-especially during the monsoon season when waterborne illnesses and immunity-related concerns are at their peak.

Tetra Pak marks ORS Day with Ready-To-Drink ORS Distribution Drive

Unlike traditional ORS solutions, Ready-To-Drink ORS offers a convenient, pre-mixed format that meets WHO-recommended standards and comes in safe Tetra Pak cartons. This ensures accurate dosage, eliminates the need for clean water or mixing, and makes it easier for people of all ages to stay hydrated-whether recovering from illness or simply navigating daily routines.

Hydration is a simple habit that can make a big difference to everyday health,” said Saurabh Sinha, Marketing Director, Tetra Pak South Asia. “By making ORS more accessible in a ready-to-drink format, our goal is to help consumers stay prepared, stay healthy, and take better care of themselves and their families.”

To ensure the message of smart hydration reaches diverse communities, the initiative is being amplified through a comprehensive 360-degree outreach effort. This includes on-ground distribution drives, informative radio segments, and engaging social media content-all designed to educate and empower consumers with practical knowledge about everyday hydration. The focus remains on accessibility and awareness-making sure people understand the value of ORS in maintaining health, especially during vulnerable seasons.

The RTD ORS packs were developed by trusted brands: Halewood (ElectroRush), Kenvue (ORSL), and Alkem (ORS Insta), each contributing to the shared goal of making hydration simple, safe, and inclusive.

TSL Foundation believes that health equity begins with access,” said a TSL Foundation spokesperson. “This initiative is about empowering communities with the tools they need to care for their health-starting with something as fundamental as hydration.”

The month-long drive culminates on World ORS Day, July 29, reinforcing a simple but important message: staying well-hydrated should be easy, safe, and part of everyday life.

In fact, Gen Z leads in UPI usage, with 10% more UPI transactions than any other cohort.

super.money is directly addressing this shift by giving young Indians a way to book flights using just UPI – without sacrificing rewards, benefits, or control. This aligns with Gen Z’s preference for ease, instant gratification, and debt-free financial choices.

With ‘FLIGHTS,’ we are embedding value directly into travel bookings on UPI,” said Prakash Sikaria, Founder & CEO of super.money. This move reflects our larger vision to make UPI not just about daily spends but about enabling life’s bigger moments too. Whether it’s booking a solo trip or a dream holiday, FLIGHTS on super.money is here to make decisions smarter, faster, and more rewarding.”

“At Cleartrip, we are observing a significant uptick in UPI adoption as a preferred mode of payment among flight bookers,” said Manjari Singhal, Chief business and growth officer, Cleartrip. “This trend is even more pronounced among Gen Z travellers, who are drawn to the ease, speed, and debt-free nature of UPI transactions. This shift reinforces our commitment to serving one of the fastest-growing customer segments in the travel space.”

As 85% of digital transactions in India now take place via UPI (IMF, 2024), super.money is building the ecosystem Gen Z expects: where payments aren’t just functional but empowering. Travel, once considered a luxury, is now a lifestyle choice and super.money is making sure payments keep up.

The launch of FLIGHTS cements super.money’s role as a category-defining force, and a one-stop destination for India’s new-age consumers looking for simplicity, control, and real-time value.
