124 August 2012 BTM marketplace BOCONCEPT Urban Luxury Modern, casual lounging is given a new dimension with the Carmo sofa from BoConcept. At first sight, the compact design with low backs and big seats is voluminous and masculine, but a closer look reveals a refined sense of detail that softens the whole expression of the sofa. The details are in the characteristic piping on the sofa edges. As the designer behind the creation, Anders Nørgaard explains, “I guess we have given the upholsterer an interesting challenge when we added piping to the edges of the sofa. It helps to define the shape of the settee in a very decorative way. It’s an exclusive detail.” It was important to carry through this characteristic though. First of all, the sofa can be placed freely in any room. This is also because the Carmo sofa is a modular system of units that can be put together in many different ways. Open-ended modules can be placed unreservedly in the middle or at the end of the sofa, thereby creating completely different looks. The comfort factor is high no matter how you choose to rest on this couch. The armrests have the same height and soft padding at the back so you will be just as comfortable leaning against the armrest. Available in more than 80 fabrics and leathers, there are eight fully upholstered seating units to play with when customising your own Carmo sofa.

If you’re looking for the perfect centrepiece to add in your living space, a newly launched modular sofa concept guarantees it will fit in any room. ROYAL BAHRAIN HOSPITAL Safer Alternatives The introduction of endoscopic surgery into the medical field has widely improved the quality of care that a patient receives in a hospital. Dr Stephen Angamuthu, consultant general surgeon at Royal Bahrain Hospital (RBH), has recently performed a bariatric surgery on one of his patients. Using a minimally-invasive approach resulted in less hospital stay time, minimal scarring, less bleeding and less downtime for his patient. Endoscopy is also applied to the field of ears, nose and throat medicine (ENT). Dr Shalabh Sharma, senior consultant ENT, and Dr Avneesh Kumar, senior specialist ENT, often perform a high-skill level endoscopic DCR. This is a surgery that treats patients with a tear duct that remains blocked and needs to be opened; the procedure leaves no scarring. At RBH, knee arthroscopies are also carried out using noninvasive techniques. These surgeries are performed by Dr Syeed Ahmed Ibrahim, consultant orthopedic surgeon, and Dr Abdul Gaffar Sheikh Ahmed, senior consultant orthopedic surgeon. Over the years, this procedure has managed to replace traditional techniques used in the past; resulting in fewer incisions to be made and swifter recovery periods. The department of urology also performs endoscopies. Dr Ravisankar Pillai, specialist urologist, performs urethra endoscopies in order to remove kidney stones. This procedure doesn’t require any incisions, and makes the removal of kidney stones a much simpler process than by traditional methods. The combination of state-of-the-art facilities and high-skill doctors and surgeons at RBH allows them to offer a plethora of endoscopic surgeries that make patient care more comfortable.
