Ex-army chief Qamar Bajwa undergoes Dubai check-up

Former Chief of Army Staff General (retd) Qamar Javed Bajwa has been shifted to the United Arab Emirates for further medical examination and treatment.

Family sources said Bajwa is currently in the UAE. He travelled abroad after completing his initial treatment in Pakistan.

The former army chief was examined by a team of specialist doctors in Dubai. The doctors carried out a detailed medical check-up.

According to family sources, Bajwa’s condition has improved considerably after the medical examination. However, the results of some important medical tests are still awaited.

Doctors will review the remaining reports before giving their final recommendations. His further treatment and return to Pakistan will depend on the doctors’ advice.

Family sources said Bajwa will stay in the UAE for a few days. He will remain with his son during his stay in the country.

A final decision about his return to Pakistan will be taken after the doctors review all his medical reports. His family is also awaiting the doctors’ further instructions.

Bajwa had suffered serious injuries around four and a half months ago. He reportedly slipped and fell at his residence.

The accident caused injuries to his head and back. He was immediately shifted to Combined Military Hospital (CMH) Rawalpindi for treatment.

The former army chief remained admitted to the hospital for around three weeks. He received treatment under the supervision of military doctors.

At the time, the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) officially confirmed that Bajwa had been injured after falling at his residence.

The military’s media wing said he was receiving treatment at CMH Rawalpindi. His condition was monitored by doctors during his stay at the hospital.

After completing his initial treatment in Pakistan, Bajwa later travelled to the UAE for further medical assessment.

His current stay in the UAE is expected to continue until doctors complete their assessment. The results of the pending tests will help determine the next course of treatment.

Family sources have not provided a specific date for his return to Pakistan. They said the decision will be made after consultation with doctors.

General (retd) Qamar Javed Bajwa served as Pakistan’s Chief of Army Staff from November 2016 to November 2022. He retired from the position after completing his tenure in November 2022.

    Common mood-stabilizing drug may offer hope for Alzheimer’s disease

      Medical researchers have suggested that lithium, a widely available and inexpensive medication commonly prescribed to treat bipolar disorder and major depressive disorder, may also hold promise as a potential treatment for Alzheimer’s disease. Although the findings are encouraging, scientists stress that much more research is required before lithium can be recommended as a treatment for patients with Alzheimer’s. According to previous studies researchers found that people diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease tend to have lower levels of lithium in their brains compared to healthy individuals. This observation led scientists to investigate whether restoring lithium levels could help protect the brain from the damage caused by the disease. To explore this possibility, researchers conducted laboratory experiments using mice genetically modified to develop Alzheimer’s disease. The study found that administering very low doses of lithium significantly improved the animals’ memory performance. In addition, the treatment reduced the harmful effects of brain cell damage that are typically associated with Alzheimer’s. These findings suggest that even small amounts of lithium may have protective effects on brain function. Scientists believe lithium works by helping to preserve the health of neurons, the specialized brain cells responsible for memory, learning, and thinking. The drug may also support communication between different regions of the brain by maintaining the connections between nerve cells. Since Alzheimer’s disease gradually destroys these connections, researchers believe lithium could potentially slow the progression of cognitive decline if administered during the early stages of the disease. Further support for this idea comes from a research paper published in the medical journal Translational Psychiatry. In the article, experts emphasized the need for more comprehensive studies to investigate the safety and effectiveness of low-dose lithium therapy for people with early-stage Alzheimer’s disease. They argued that while the initial findings are promising, larger clinical trials involving human participants are essential before any firm conclusions can be drawn. Experts from Alzheimer’s advocacy organizations have also responded cautiously to the research. Dr. Richard Oakley, Director of Research at the Alzheimer’s Society, said the findings contribute to the ongoing scientific discussion about lithium’s potential role in Alzheimer’s treatment. However, he warned that there is currently no conclusive evidence showing that lithium can prevent dementia or serve as a cure for Alzheimer’s disease. Dr. Oakley further explained that the human clinical trials conducted so far have been limited in size and scope. As a result, the available evidence is not yet strong enough to support the routine use of lithium for Alzheimer’s patients. He emphasized that larger, well-designed clinical studies are needed to determine the drug’s long-term benefits, possible side effects, and the most effective dosage. Alzheimer’s disease remains one of the world’s leading causes of dementia, affecting millions of people and placing a significant emotional and financial burden on families and healthcare systems. While current treatments can only help manage symptoms, researchers continue to search for therapies that can slow or stop the disease. If future studies confirm the benefits of low-dose lithium, this affordable and widely available medication could become an important addition to Alzheimer’s treatment. Until then, experts advise patients and caregivers not to use lithium for Alzheimer’s without medical supervision, as scientific evidence is still developing.

    Spanish royals captivate with Mediterranean charm

    Spain’s royal family has officially begun its annual summer holiday with a traditional public appearance in the Mediterranean island of Mallorca, where members of the royal household showcased relaxed yet elegant fashion that reflected the country’s coastal culture. Every August, Spain’s monarchs spend part of their summer in Palma de Mallorca, the capital of the Balearic Islands. The visit begins with an official reception at the historic Marivent Palace, where the royal family meets local government officials, community leaders and representatives from across the islands before starting their private vacation. This year’s gathering brought together King Felipe VI, Queen Letizia, their daughters Crown Princess Leonor and Infanta Sofía, as well as the King’s mother, Queen Sofía. The appearance highlighted the close relationship between Spain’s monarchy and the Balearic Islands while offering the public a glimpse of the family’s more casual summer style. Unlike the formal attire usually seen during official state events, the royal family opted for lightweight outfits suitable for the warm Mediterranean weather. Queen Letizia, widely regarded as one of Europe’s most stylish royals, wore a flowing white dress by Spanish designer Sybilla. The elegant outfit featured soft pleats and subtle striped details, giving it a simple yet sophisticated look. She paired the dress with gold high-heeled sandals, while King Felipe chose a light blue shirt and neutral trousers, keeping his appearance relaxed. Their elder daughter, Crown Princess Leonor, selected a sleeveless orange two-piece outfit by Spanish fashion label Thinking Mu. The colourful ensemble featured artistic shades of blue, yellow and orange, inspired by Mediterranean sunsets. She completed her look with gold bracelets and naturally styled hair. Meanwhile, Infanta Sofía wore a long pastel-coloured maxi dress decorated with soft pink, cream and lavender tones, creating a fresh summer appearance. The youngest royal’s outfit complemented the vibrant floral caftan worn by Queen Sofía, whose multicoloured dress reflected the cheerful atmosphere of the Mediterranean season. The annual reception is considered one of the final public engagements for the Spanish royal family before they begin their private summer holiday. The event has become a long-standing tradition and attracts significant public and media attention each year, with many observers focusing not only on the royal family’s activities but also on their fashion choices. For many Pakistanis unfamiliar with Spain’s monarchy, the country’s royal family plays a largely ceremonial constitutional role similar to several other European monarchies. While the elected government manages day-to-day political affairs, the King serves as the country’s head of state and represents Spain during official ceremonies, national events and international engagements.
