Chandigarh, May 14

The Department of Internal Medicine at PGIMER today organised an awareness programme on systemic vasculitis. PGIMER Dean (Academics) Prof Naresh Panda, who inaugurated the programme, stressed on the importance of diagnosing the diseases in time.

He gave examples where he had seen patients who had lost hearing due to delay in diagnosis.

May is celebrated as International Vasculitis Awareness month. Blood vessels are a huge network of arteries and veins that deliver blood from the heart to all of the organs and then return the blood to the heart.

Vasculitides are a group of rare diseases causing inflammation and injury to blood vessels.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
