  • EXCLUSIVE: Battling a rare health condition that has left half of her face disfigured, a 24-year-old Indian woman says she tries to live positively despite jeers by people. Sasikala K, from Chennai, the capital of India’s southern Tamil Nadu state, suffers from plexiform neurofibromatosis, which has taken a toll on her face, affecting the right side. However, she admits her confidence has taken a hit of late. Sasikala, who prefers to live boldly and does not cover her face, likes dressing up and wearing make-up, much like girls her age, though she finds it difficult to execute them owing to her complications. She was only six-months-old when her parents noticed a part of her face swelling. However, they waited for another one and a half years to get medical help. “I have always been very bold, however, with age, the condition progressed and no one has come for help,” she says, adding, “I am slowly losing my confidence.” According to medical experts, her condition affects the face and craniofacial region of the body. It can also affect the neck and other parts of the body, depending upon the host. The family had not considered the deformity to be a big issue until Sasikala turned six and the face started to swell at an unusual rate. Now, almost 18 years later, she finds it difficult to execute daily chores like eating and brushing. The 24-year old is an employee at an embroidery unit run by a trust. Sasikala took it up as a means to support her family after completing her diploma in nursing and unable to land a job in the hospitality sector. Kumar, 54, Sasikala’s father, says his daughter has been under the knife four times, but it has only gotten worse. “She was six when doctors operated upon her for the first time,” Kumar says. “The result was satisfying and she looked normal,” he added. However, the joy was short-lived, as the tumours grew back again. Kumar says upon approaching the doctors again, he was told that it could be controlled but wou

However, they waited for another one and a half years to get medical help. “I have always been very bold, however, with age, the condition progressed and no one has come for help,” she says, adding, “I am slowly losing my confidence.” According to medical experts, her condition affects the face and craniofacial region of the body. It can also affect the neck and other parts of the body, depending upon the host. The family had not considered the deformity to be a big issue until Sasikala turned six and the face started to swell at an unusual rate. Now, almost 18 years later, she finds it difficult to execute daily chores like eating and brushing. The 24-year old is an employee at an embroidery unit run by a trust. Sasikala took it up as a means to support her family after completing her diploma in nursing and unable to land a job in the hospitality sector. Kumar, 54, Sasikala’s father, says his daughter has been under the knife four times, but it has only gotten worse. “She was six when doctors operated upon her for the first time,” Kumar says. “The result was satisfying and she looked normal,” he added.

  • By Dinesh Dubey in India A newborn baby weighing just 400 grams has survived after her premature birth and gained normalcy after completing a six-month-long clinical course, with her parents and doctors having struggled hard to keep her alive and healthy. The girl was discharged from the hospital in Udaipur on Thursday. Neonatologist Sunil Janged, who led a team of doctors and nursing staff for ensuring the girl's incredible survival, claimed that she was the smallest newborn baby to survive in India and South Asia. The last reported such survival was a baby, Rajni, weighing 450 grams, at Mohali in 2012. The girl, named Manushi by the nursing staff of Vivanta Children's Hospital, was born to a couple married for 35 years. When her mother’s blood pressure became uncontrollable halfway through her pregnancy and the ultrasonography revealed absence of blood flow to the foetus, a caesarean section was conducted on her on June 15, 2017. Baby Seeta is the smallest baby ever to survive not in India but also in South Asia. Doctors calls her "our miracle baby", saying: "She’s just fought and fought and fought against all the odds. But she’s made it." Born to a couple married for 35 years, when her blood pressure was uncontrollable halfway through her pregnancy and the ultrasonography revealed fetoplacental insufficiency [ absent blood flow to fetus.

  • A barefoot Tiger Woods is seen here disorientated and struggling to walk in dramatic dash cam footage taken at the scene of his DUI arrest in Florida. Video released by cops today (May 31) shows the pro golfer undertaking a series of sobriety tests, which he ultimately failed. In the 98-minutes of footage released by Jupiter Police, the 41-year-old father-of-two — who underwent a procedure on his back in April — is seen swaying, rolling his eyes, slurring his words and falling asleep during the a series of sobriety tests. After failing the field tests, Woods is formally arrested and cuffed with his hands behind his back. According to the police report, Woods was found asleep at the wheel of his 2015 Mercedes Benz and was on four prescription drugs when he was arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence in the early hours of May 29 in Jupiter, Florida. He tested negative for alcohol. Elsewhere in the report it notes that Woods had 'extremely slow and slurred speech’ and did not know where he was before taking the field tests. The golfer undertook four sobriety tests. After being asked to recite the alphabet backwards, he instead offered to recite the National Anthem backwards instead. During the Walk & Turn test the sportsman “could not maintain starting position… missed heel to toe each time… stepped off the line several times… used arms for balance,” according to the arresting officer’s report. He was also unable to perform the One Leg Stand, requiring him to lift one leg off the ground six inches, placing his foot down “several times” while trying to complete the task. Woods was also seemingly confused by the Finger To Nose test, and was unable to complete the task as asked, the report notes. The car Woods was driving was found with two flat tires and “fresh damage” to the driver’s side, the report notes, and police released images of the bashed up car on May 31. Woods released a statement on May 29 in which he apologized for t
