A forearm replantation surgery was performed on a 46-year-old man from Manapparai at Kauvery Hospitals for the first time. The surgery restored the man’s right forearm, which was severed in a road accident. About five months ago, the patient from Manapparai fell off a bridge and lay on the spot with his forearm severed for at least three hours before being found. He was rushed to Kauvery Hospital in Cantonment five hours after the accident. “This was a complicated case because of the time it took for the patient to get medical attention,” doctors said.![](/newspic/picid-1269750-20250217064624.jpg)
When fed into Latin, pusilla comes out denoting “very small”. The Baillon’s crake can be missed in the field, when it is at a distance, as the magnification of the human eye is woefully short of what it takes to pick up this tiny creature. The other factor is the Baillon’s crake’s predisposition to present less of itself: it moves about furtively and slides into the reeds at the slightest suspicion of being noticed. But if you are keen on observing the Baillon’s crake or the ruddy breasted crake in the field, in Chennai, this would be the best time to put in efforts towards that end. These birds live amidst reeds, the bulrushes, which are likely to lose their density now as they would shrivel and go brown, leaving wide gaps, thereby reducing the cover for these tiddly birds to stay inscrutable.
