  • EXCLUSIVE: By Sanjay Pandey and Supito Maity in Sao Paulo A 28-year-old Brazilian woman crippled by sheer weight and disproportionate size of tumours in her lower limbs is pleading for help from the netizens. Karina Rodini, who was fired from her job and is forced stay unmarried due to her medical condition, says the disease took a heavy toll on her personal and professional life. Karina has spent most of her adult life hiding it in public. But after last year’s botched up surgery in a state-run hospital, her ‘legs have become double the size and no clothes fit her’, making her a pariah in the locality. Karina suffers from type one neurofibromatosis, a genetic condition marked by changes in skin colour and the growth of non-cancerous cysts in different parts. The disease affects one in 4000 people globally. According to the US National Library of Medicine, patient with type one neufibromatosis are born with one mutated copy of the NF1 gene in each cell. It said, "In about half of cases, the altered gene is inherited from an affected parent. The remaining cases result from new mutations in the NF1 gene and occur in people with no history of the disorder in their family." Karina, from Sao Paulo, was just two when ‘coffee milk’ patches started to appear on her skin. She said due to the lack of formation of lumps, the doctors could barely make out what ailed her. “I was diagnosed with neurofibromatosis when I was only two years old, at first it was only ‘coffee milk’ patches so the doctor couldn’t do anything because there were no lumps or tumours,” she said. The cysts started to show up almost nine years later. One year later, when she was 12, Karina underwent a surgical procedure to remove a cyst, weighing around nine kilograms, from her uterus. According to her, the cavity gave her a semblance of a pregnant woman. Being the oldest child among three, Karina has always received love from her mother, Fatima M.

The cysts started to show up almost nine years later. One year later, when she was 12, Karina underwent a surgical procedure to remove a cyst, weighing around nine kilograms, from her uterus. According to her, the cavity gave her a semblance of a pregnant woman. Being the oldest child among three, Karina has always received love from her mother, Fatima M.

  • EXCLUSIVE: By Sanjay Pandey and Supito Maity in Sao Paulo A 28-year-old Brazilian woman crippled by sheer weight and disproportionate size of tumours in her lower limbs is pleading for help from the netizens. Karina Rodini, who was fired from her job and is forced stay unmarried due to her medical condition, says the disease took a heavy toll on her personal and professional life. Karina has spent most of her adult life hiding it in public. But after last year’s botched up surgery in a state-run hospital, her ‘legs have become double the size and no clothes fit her’, making her a pariah in the locality. Karina suffers from type one neurofibromatosis, a genetic condition marked by changes in skin colour and the growth of non-cancerous cysts in different parts. The disease affects one in 4000 people globally. According to the US National Library of Medicine, patient with type one neufibromatosis are born with one mutated copy of the NF1 gene in each cell. It said, "In about half of cases, the altered gene is inherited from an affected parent. The remaining cases result from new mutations in the NF1 gene and occur in people with no history of the disorder in their family."

  • EXCLUSIVE: **WARNING CONTAINS NUDITY**Just when Egyptian woman Eman Ahmed’s drastic weight loss — from a whopping 500kg to 176kg merely in three months — and controversies around the story was making international headlines, there was another woman, pegged as of India’s heaviest, who quietly underwent a second round of barbaric surgery to lose further weight at a private hospital in Mumbai. Amita Rajani, the 44-year-old resident of Vasai, weighed around 300kg and was bed-ridden for around nine years. She lost 165kg in two years. After second operation, she has lost 10kg in one month. Doctors say she will be 70 by next April. "Bariatric surgery has given me a new lease of life," said Amita after her second surgery at Laparo Obeso Centre in Mumbai on April 02. More than a month after the second operation, she now weighs 125kg. "My life has changed drastically. Until 2015, I was confined to my bedroom for almost eight years as I could barely walk a few steps. Now, I can walk a few kilometers at a stretch, drive my car to work, go out shopping. I have literally got my life back. Now, I walk for at least 2km daily, earlier I needed help to turn from one side to another in the bed. The obesity had ruined my personal, professional and social life. Whenever I want I take out my car, go for a long drive or go meet my relatives and friends and wedding and birthday parties,” said Amita, who works as a share trader, adding that her friends have organized a reunion to celebrate her transformation. Amita’s weight gain, however, did not happen suddenly. It happened over the years. Amita was 116kg when she was in class 10. "In 2007, we consulted doctors in UK but since I was born with a single kidney, they said it would be a high-risk surgery," said the lady who once ran a small soft toy factory in the city. Until 2015, Amita needed four to five people to help her stand. "Today, I step out of home every day and my mother teases me about it.'' Amita kept gaining weight t

  • EXCLUSIVE: By Sanjay Pandey in India A 50-year-old Indian man has singlehandedly scraped though hills for a period of two years to make an 8km stretch of road to ensure that he and wife can meet their school-going children more often. Jalandhar Nayak, a small-time farmer from Kandhamal district of east Indian state of Odisha, constructed the first stretch of the road all by himself with just a pick axe and crowbar by working from dawn to dusk since 2016. So how did he stumbled up on the idea? “At the time of birth of our first child, my wife was home. When she went into labour pain, I tried to take her to the nearby health centre. But we couldn't reach there in time and she had to deliver the baby on the way. It was then the idea of building a road struck me first. I thought to myself, if having no roads in the village is causing us so much of problem to us, it would cause the problem to our children, too,” said Nayak, explaining how he stumbled upon the idea of contracting road." According to the Nayaks, the government has been giving assurance of building a road for decades in the area, but they never moved anything on the ground. Jalandhar’s father father who is 80 now, tells about the same hollow assurances that he got from the administration in his youth.   “When my children grew up and started going to school, it would take them three hours one way to go the school trekking though the mountainous terrain. Since they cannot commute to and from the school everyday, we had to get them enrolled in a residential school, a 15km away from home.   Nayak’s children spend six days in the school and return home on seventh day. But trekking though five hills is not a child play, the journey used to make them tired and exhausted. “This made me more determined to tear though the mighty mountains to pave way for my children. I didn't want my children to meet the same fate as mine. Hence, I decided to go ahead with the plan of road construction -- with or withou

  • EXCLUSIVE: **WARNING CONTAINS NUDITY**Just when Egyptian woman Eman Ahmed’s drastic weight loss — from a whopping 500kg to 176kg merely in three months — and controversies around the story was making international headlines, there was another woman, pegged as of India’s heaviest, who quietly underwent a second round of barbaric surgery to lose further weight at a private hospital in Mumbai. Amita Rajani, the 44-year-old resident of Vasai, weighed around 300kg and was bed-ridden for around nine years. She lost 165kg in two years. After second operation, she has lost 10kg in one month. Doctors say she will be 70 by next April. "Bariatric surgery has given me a new lease of life," said Amita after her second surgery at Laparo Obeso Centre in Mumbai on April 02. More than a month after the second operation, she now weighs 125kg. "My life has changed drastically. Until 2015, I was confined to my bedroom for almost eight years as I could barely walk a few steps. Now, I can walk a few kilometers at a stretch, drive my car to work, go out shopping. I have literally got my life back. Now, I walk for at least 2km daily, earlier I needed help to turn from one side to another in the bed. The obesity had ruined my personal, professional and social life. Whenever I want I take out my car, go for a long drive or go meet my relatives and friends and wedding and birthday parties,” said Amita, who works as a share trader, adding that her friends have organized a reunion to celebrate her transformation. Amita’s weight gain, however, did not happen suddenly. It happened over the years. Amita was 116kg when she was in class 10. "In 2007, we consulted doctors in UK but since I was born with a single kidney, they said it would be a high-risk surgery," said the lady who once ran a small soft toy factory in the city. Until 2015, Amita needed four to five people to help her stand. "Today, I step out of home every day and my mother teases me about it.'' Amita kept gaining weight t

  • EXCLUSIVE: By Sanjay Pandey in India A 50-year-old Indian man has singlehandedly scraped though hills for a period of two years to make an 8km stretch of road to ensure that he and wife can meet their school-going children more often. Jalandhar Nayak, a small-time farmer from Kandhamal district of east Indian state of Odisha, constructed the first stretch of the road all by himself with just a pick axe and crowbar by working from dawn to dusk since 2016. So how did he stumbled up on the idea? “At the time of birth of our first child, my wife was home. When she went into labour pain, I tried to take her to the nearby health centre. But we couldn't reach there in time and she had to deliver the baby on the way. It was then the idea of building a road struck me first. I thought to myself, if having no roads in the village is causing us so much of problem to us, it would cause the problem to our children, too,” said Nayak, explaining how he stumbled upon the idea of contracting road." According to the Nayaks, the government has been giving assurance of building a road for decades in the area, but they never moved anything on the ground. Jalandhar’s father father who is 80 now, tells about the same hollow assurances that he got from the administration in his youth.   “When my children grew up and started going to school, it would take them three hours one way to go the school trekking though the mountainous terrain. Since they cannot commute to and from the school everyday, we had to get them enrolled in a residential school, a 15km away from home.   Nayak’s children spend six days in the school and return home on seventh day. But trekking though five hills is not a child play, the journey used to make them tired and exhausted. “This made me more determined to tear though the mighty mountains to pave way for my children. I didn't want my children to meet the same fate as mine. Hence, I decided to go ahead with the plan of road construction -- with or withou

Amita Rajani, the 44-year-old resident of Vasai, weighed around 300kg and was bed-ridden for around nine years. She lost 165kg in two years. After second operation, she has lost 10kg in one month. Doctors say she will be 70 by next April. "Bariatric surgery has given me a new lease of life," said Amita after her second surgery at Laparo Obeso Centre in Mumbai on April 02. More than a month after the second operation, she now weighs 125kg. "My life has changed drastically. Until 2015, I was confined to my bedroom for almost eight years as I could barely walk a few steps. Now, I can walk a few kilometers at a stretch, drive my car to work, go out shopping. I have literally got my life back. Now, I walk for at least 2km daily, earlier I needed help to turn from one side to another in the bed. The obesity had ruined my personal, professional and social life. Whenever I want I take out my car, go for a long drive or go meet my relatives and friends and wedding and birthday parties,” said Amita, who works as a share trader, adding that her friends have organized a reunion to celebrate her transformation. Amita’s weight gain, however, did not happen suddenly. It happened over the years. Amita was 116kg when she was in class 10. "In 2007, we consulted doctors in UK but since I was born with a single kidney, they said it would be a high-risk surgery," said the lady who once ran a small soft toy factory in the city. Until 2015, Amita needed four to five people to help her stand. "Today, I step out of home every day and my mother teases me about it.'' Amita kept gaining weight t

  • EXCLUSIVE: By Sanjay Pandey in India A 50-year-old Indian man has singlehandedly scraped though hills for a period of two years to make an 8km stretch of road to ensure that he and wife can meet their school-going children more often. Jalandhar Nayak, a small-time farmer from Kandhamal district of east Indian state of Odisha, constructed the first stretch of the road all by himself with just a pick axe and crowbar by working from dawn to dusk since 2016. So how did he stumbled up on the idea? “At the time of birth of our first child, my wife was home. When she went into labour pain, I tried to take her to the nearby health centre. But we couldn't reach there in time and she had to deliver the baby on the way. It was then the idea of building a road struck me first. I thought to myself, if having no roads in the village is causing us so much of problem to us, it would cause the problem to our children, too,” said Nayak, explaining how he stumbled upon the idea of contracting road." According to the Nayaks, the government has been giving assurance of building a road for decades in the area, but they never moved anything on the ground. Jalandhar’s father father who is 80 now, tells about the same hollow assurances that he got from the administration in his youth.   “When my children grew up and started going to school, it would take them three hours one way to go the school trekking though the mountainous terrain. Since they cannot commute to and from the school everyday, we had to get them enrolled in a residential school, a 15km away from home.   Nayak’s children spend six days in the school and return home on seventh day. But trekking though five hills is not a child play, the journey used to make them tired and exhausted. “This made me more determined to tear though the mighty mountains to pave way for my children. I didn't want my children to meet the same fate as mine. Hence, I decided to go ahead with the plan of road construction -- with or withou

Jalandhar Nayak, a small-time farmer from Kandhamal district of east Indian state of Odisha, constructed the first stretch of the road all by himself with just a pick axe and crowbar by working from dawn to dusk since 2016. So how did he stumbled up on the idea? “At the time of birth of our first child, my wife was home. When she went into labour pain, I tried to take her to the nearby health centre. But we couldn't reach there in time and she had to deliver the baby on the way. It was then the idea of building a road struck me first. I thought to myself, if having no roads in the village is causing us so much of problem to us, it would cause the problem to our children, too,” said Nayak, explaining how he stumbled upon the idea of contracting road." According to the Nayaks, the government has been giving assurance of building a road for decades in the area, but they never moved anything on the ground. Jalandhar’s father father who is 80 now, tells about the same hollow assurances that he got from the administration in his youth.   “When my children grew up and started going to school, it would take them three hours one way to go the school trekking though the mountainous terrain. Since they cannot commute to and from the school everyday, we had to get them enrolled in a residential school, a 15km away from home.   Nayak’s children spend six days in the school and return home on seventh day. But trekking though five hills is not a child play, the journey used to make them tired and exhausted. “This made me more determined to tear though the mighty mountains to pave way for my children. I didn't want my children to meet the same fate as mine. Hence, I decided to go ahead with the plan of road construction -- with or withou

  • EXCLUSIVE: **WARNING CONTAINS NUDITY**Just when Egyptian woman Eman Ahmed’s drastic weight loss — from a whopping 500kg to 176kg merely in three months — and controversies around the story was making international headlines, there was another woman, pegged as of India’s heaviest, who quietly underwent a second round of barbaric surgery to lose further weight at a private hospital in Mumbai. Amita Rajani, the 44-year-old resident of Vasai, weighed around 300kg and was bed-ridden for around nine years. She lost 165kg in two years. After second operation, she has lost 10kg in one month. Doctors say she will be 70 by next April. "Bariatric surgery has given me a new lease of life," said Amita after her second surgery at Laparo Obeso Centre in Mumbai on April 02. More than a month after the second operation, she now weighs 125kg. "My life has changed drastically. Until 2015, I was confined to my bedroom for almost eight years as I could barely walk a few steps. Now, I can walk a few kilometers at a stretch, drive my car to work, go out shopping. I have literally got my life back. Now, I walk for at least 2km daily, earlier I needed help to turn from one side to another in the bed. The obesity had ruined my personal, professional and social life. Whenever I want I take out my car, go for a long drive or go meet my relatives and friends and wedding and birthday parties,” said Amita, who works as a share trader, adding that her friends have organized a reunion to celebrate her transformation. Amita’s weight gain, however, did not happen suddenly. It happened over the years. Amita was 116kg when she was in class 10. "In 2007, we consulted doctors in UK but since I was born with a single kidney, they said it would be a high-risk surgery," said the lady who once ran a small soft toy factory in the city. Until 2015, Amita needed four to five people to help her stand. "Today, I step out of home every day and my mother teases me about it.'' Amita kept gaining weight t

But we couldn't reach there in time and she had to deliver the baby on the way. It was then the idea of building a road struck me first. I thought to myself, if having no roads in the village is causing us so much of problem to us, it would cause the problem to our children, too,” said Nayak, explaining how he stumbled upon the idea of contracting road." According to the Nayaks, the government has been giving assurance of building a road for decades in the area, but they never moved anything on the ground. Jalandhar’s father father who is 80 now, tells about the same hollow assurances that he got from the administration in his youth.   “When my children grew up and started going to school, it would take them three hours one way to go the school trekking though the mountainous terrain. Since they cannot commute to and from the school everyday, we had to get them enrolled in a residential school, a 15km away from home.   Nayak’s children spend six days in the school and return home on seventh day. But trekking though five hills is not a child play, the journey used to make them tired and exhausted. “This made me more determined to tear though the mighty mountains to pave way for my children.

  • EXCLUSIVE: A 21-year-old woman delivered a baby with two heads and three hands, sending doctors of the state-run facility into a tizzy in central India. Babita Ahirwar, a resident of Basauda village in Vidisha district of Madhya Pradesh, delivered the baby around 7:30 am on November 23 through C-section. Babita was married to Jaswant Ahirwar around one and a half years ago. The couple which was eagerly waiting to welcome their first baby was devastated after seeing the infant born with a deformity. "It was a mixed feeling when the nurses handed over the baby to me. Initially, I thought it was a twin, but when the nurses removed the towel, I was shocked to see our firstborn with two heads and three hands. All we wanted was a normal and healthy baby, but the almighty wanted to punish us this way. I don't know why," said new mom Babita told Newslions. Dr Surendra Sonkar of Vidisha Sadar hospital said: "On Saturday morning around 7:30 am, we facilitated the delivery of a baby through C-section. The baby had two heads and three hands. The third hand had two palms attached to it. "There is only one heart visible in the newborn. This is a very rare condition and this is the first time. I have come across such a case in my career," he said. "We had initially kept the baby in the ICU, but we thought it was better to refer them to a better-equipped facility in Bhopal," he added. At present, the baby is undergoing treatment at Bhopal's Hamidi Medical College and Hospital. 23 Nov 2019 Pictured: Baby born with two heads and three hands in central India.
