PCOS has been renamed PMOS to show that the condition is not only about ovarian cysts, but also hormones, fertility and long-term metabolic health. The new name, polyendocrine metabolic ovarian syndrome, was announced Tuesday, May 12, 2026, after a global medical review involving patient and professional groups. Why the Name Changed Experts said the old PCOS label often misled patients because many symptoms are driven by hormone changes and insulin resistance, not cysts alone. PMOS can affect menstrual cycles, ovulation, skin, hair growth, weight, fertility and mental health. It is also linked to higher risks of type 2 diabetes, heart disease, sleep apnea and pregnancy complications. What PMOS Means for Diagnosis The change does not mean every patient needs a new diagnosis immediately. Instead, doctors hope the PMOS name will push care beyond reproductive symptoms and help more women get screened earlier. Women should seek medical advice if they have irregular or absent periods, severe acne, excess facial or body hair, hair thinning, trouble getting pregnant or signs of insulin resistance. How PMOS Is Treated Treatment depends on symptoms and pregnancy plans. Doctors may recommend lifestyle changes, cycle-regulating medicines, insulin-sensitizing drugs, anti-androgen treatment or fertility support. The new name may feel small, but for many patients it could change the way the condition is understood: as a whole-body endocrine and metabolic disorder that deserves earlier, more complete care.

A growing cab safety warning is urging passengers to check the number plate, driver identity and vehicle details before entering any app-booked ride. Safety advocates say a mismatch between the vehicle that arrives and the details shown in the ride-hailing app can create serious risks for passengers, especially during solo or late-night travel. What Happens If Cab Details Do Not Match? If the cab number, model or driver profile does not match the app, the ride may not be properly linked to the original booking. That can affect GPS tracking, route monitoring, driver verification and emergency support. Passenger safety experts warn that entering an unverified vehicle can also make it harder for platforms to investigate complaints or confirm trip records if something goes wrong. Insurance And Tracking Concerns Transportation analysts say insurance complications may arise when a passenger travels in a vehicle that is not officially connected to the booking. In such cases, the ride may not be fully traceable through the platform’s records. The warning is not meant to create fear, but to encourage simple checks before boarding. What Passengers Should Do Before Boarding Passengers should confirm the registration number, driver name, vehicle model and live trip status inside the app. They should also share live location with a trusted contact and cancel the ride if any detail appears suspicious. Watch: One Small Cab Mistake Can Turn Dangerous Fast This safety-awareness reel explains why passengers should verify cab number plates, driver details and ride information before entering any app-booked vehicle.   Safety campaigners say one quick number plate check can prevent passengers from entering the wrong cab and reduce risks linked to fake taxi pickups, route mismatch and unverified drivers.

The National Commission for Women’s report on the TCS Nashik case has flagged alleged POSH Act failures, workplace harassment and serious governance lapses at the company’s Nashik office. The findings have brought renewed attention to workplace safety, internal complaint systems and HR accountability in India’s IT sector. Reports said the NCW panel described the office environment as deeply toxic for women employees. What the NCW Probe Found The inquiry was conducted by a fact-finding committee led by retired Bombay High Court judge Justice Sadhana Jadhav. The panel reportedly met complainants, police officials, HR representatives and company authorities before submitting its findings. According to the report, several women employees alleged sexual harassment, workplace bullying, verbal abuse, stalking, inappropriate conduct and psychological pressure inside the office. Some complainants reportedly said they feared retaliation or career damage if they approached internal grievance channels. POSH Act Compliance Under Scrutiny The NCW report reportedly cited “zero compliance” with key POSH Act safeguards and questioned whether internal complaint systems were trusted or effective. Investigators also flagged weak monitoring, delayed complaint handling and inadequate protection for women employees. The matter is now being viewed not only as an HR failure but as a corporate governance issue. Religious Intimidation Claims Examined The probe also reviewed allegations of religious intimidation and coercive influence at the workplace. Police are reportedly examining WhatsApp chats and digital material linked to the case. The allegations remain under investigation, and the final legal outcome will depend on evidence reviewed by authorities. TCS has reportedly initiated internal action while the case continues to draw national attention.
