he said the Institute was also in the process of developing a new artificial heart valve that would help the patients to undergo MRI scans if required. The new valve will make this possible as its casing would be made of Titanium. Now, the casing is made of a cobalt-chromium alloy. Chennai-based TTK Health Care, which is producing and marketing the present valve, is also involved in the development of the new valve. The new valve is expected to cost about Rs. 16,000 a piece, almost the same as the present valve.

Hi Sathyala

What is the use of this Amrita, Asianet etc channels reality programs? These so callled Malayalam channels trying to promote Tamil in Kerala. It is not going to create new job opportunity or any improvement to our language or culture. Whatever the money they spend for this program is going for the development of Tamil Language and Tamil movie/music industry only.

We should NOT promote this kind of channels in Kerala.
