  • 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

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

  • This bundle of joy is baby Saybie who has become the world's tiniest surviving newborn. The infant was born at a San Diego hospital three months early and weighing just 8.6 ounces in December last year. She has since been cared for by a dedicated team of medical experts at the Sharp Mary Birch Hospital for Women & Newborn. Amazingly, the hospital revealed the youngster to the world on Wednesday May 29 and she is now well enough to go home. Doctors feared Saybie's mother's life was at risk and were forced to perform an emergency cesarean section just 28 weeks into the pregnancy. Born weighing at only 8.6 ounces, Saybie whose parents weren't identified and whose name was changed by the hospital, was so small she could fit in the palm of a hand. Saybie is considered both the world's smallest baby and smallest surviving baby. The official records are maintained by Tiniest Baby Registry, managed by the University of Iowa. Sharp Mary Birch, which has the largest Level III NICU in San Diego County, is recognized among the best hospitals in the world in caring for micro preemies, a term given to very small premature infants. 30 May 2019 Pictured: Baby-Saybie-4-lbs-April-2019.

  • A 75-year-old man suffering from a rare disease has grown a Hellboy-like horn on his head. Shyamal Lal Yadav, hailing from Sagar district of Madhya Pradesh in central India, suffered an injury on his head five years ago. Yadav claims that a horn-like structure started developing in the middle of his head after that. Yadav saw several doctors, but ‘all of them looked clueless’. He finally got the horn sliced with the help of a barber. “I thought to myself finally I had got good riddance from the devil’s horn. But my happiness was short-lived,” said Yadav. As feared, the horn started to grow back on his head and he was completely clueless about his next course of action Fortunately, the growth did not cause any physical discomfort or snowball into a medical issue. But, it had certainly made him a laughing stock. He was embarrassed to roam around in public with the unnatural growth on his head. “I kept doing the rounds of hospitals, but nothing happened. Then I asked my barber to cut the horn with the shaving blade. He did manage to cut it off, but the horn grew back in some time at the same spot,” said the ‘real-life Hellboy’. According to Yadav, he travelled to Bhopal (around 170km from Sagar) and Nagpur (around 388km from his home) to consult senior experts, however, had to come back as he could not afford the cost of the operation. The medical fraternity was in a tizzy as they hadn’t witnessed anything like that. His quest finally ended at a private clinic run by Dr. Vishal Gajbhiye in his home town Sagar. Dr. Gajbhiye said,” “The four-inch horn was solid and had sizable thickness.” The physician carried out a CT scan to ensure that the horn wasn’t deep enough to require the intervention of a neurosurgeon. The physician went ahead with the head surgery to remove the horn. After the horn was removed, the surgeons used the skin of Yadav’s forehead to fill up the gap through plastic surgery. Dr. Gajbhiye calls it a rare case and claimed t

  • A 75-year-old man suffering from a rare disease has grown a Hellboy-like horn on his head. Shyamal Lal Yadav, hailing from Sagar district of Madhya Pradesh in central India, suffered an injury on his head five years ago. Yadav claims that a horn-like structure started developing in the middle of his head after that. Yadav saw several doctors, but ‘all of them looked clueless’. He finally got the horn sliced with the help of a barber. “I thought to myself finally I had got good riddance from the devil’s horn. But my happiness was short-lived,” said Yadav. As feared, the horn started to grow back on his head and he was completely clueless about his next course of action Fortunately, the growth did not cause any physical discomfort or snowball into a medical issue. But, it had certainly made him a laughing stock. He was embarrassed to roam around in public with the unnatural growth on his head. “I kept doing the rounds of hospitals, but nothing happened. Then I asked my barber to cut the horn with the shaving blade. He did manage to cut it off, but the horn grew back in some time at the same spot,” said the ‘real-life Hellboy’. According to Yadav, he travelled to Bhopal (around 170km from Sagar) and Nagpur (around 388km from his home) to consult senior experts, however, had to come back as he could not afford the cost of the operation. The medical fraternity was in a tizzy as they hadn’t witnessed anything like that. His quest finally ended at a private clinic run by Dr. Vishal Gajbhiye in his home town Sagar.

  • EXCLUSIVE: Erramatti Mangayamma, 73, was so desperate and determined to have a baby that she ‘underaged herself’ to avoid the chances of being ruled out for the IVF treatment. "She lied about her age to avail the treatment. But after fact-checking with her husband and kin, who in turn submitted her school records, we discovered that she was born on September 1, 1946. And we got to know about this after she conceived,” said Dr. S Umashankar, who headed the team of doctors at Ahalya Nursing Home in the southern Indian Andhra Pradesh state's Guntur town. The doctors told the family that they have to live in the hospital during the entire course of pregnancy. “I told her husband that I cannot let you go home as they would jeopardise our treatment plan,” said Dr Uma Shankar. 
Erramatti and her husband were fine with that arrangement. “But we didn’t know how to organise funds for such a pro-longed treatment and stay at the hospital.
It was then the hospital administration told us that we don’t need to worry about the expenses as the entire cost of treatment would be borne by the hospital trust,” said the new mother. The hospital authorities knew that they were staring at an even bigger challenge after they discovered that woman was carrying twins. It was a double whammy for the team. First the woman was 73 and not 65 as claimed by her and secondly, she had conceived twins. “We formed three teams for her. One to look at her nutrition status, second one looked at her cardiac and other health parameters and the third one looked into her pregnancy status,” said Dr Uma Shankar. So finally six-decade-long wait came to end. Mangayamma gave birth to two healthy baby girls on Sept. 5 morning. “Now, no one call me sterile. I thank god and the doctors who have this possible,” said an emotional Erramatti struggling to hold back her tears. Hailing from Nelapartipadu village in East Godavari district, Mangayamma was childless after 54 years of marriage. Sh

Erramatti and her husband were fine with that arrangement. “But we didn’t know how to organise funds for such a pro-longed treatment and stay at the hospital.
It was then the hospital administration told us that we don’t need to worry about the expenses as the entire cost of treatment would be borne by the hospital trust,” said the new mother. The hospital authorities knew that they were staring at an even bigger challenge after they discovered that woman was carrying twins. It was a double whammy for the team. First the woman was 73 and not 65 as claimed by her and secondly, she had conceived twins. “We formed three teams for her. One to look at her nutrition status, second one looked at her cardiac and other health parameters and the third one looked into her pregnancy status,” said Dr Uma Shankar. So finally six-decade-long wait came to end. Mangayamma gave birth to two healthy baby girls on Sept. 5 morning. “Now, no one call me sterile. I thank god and the doctors who have this possible,” said an emotional Erramatti struggling to hold back her tears. Hailing from Nelapartipadu village in East Godavari district, Mangayamma was childless after 54 years of marriage. Sh

  • EXCLUSIVE: Erramatti Mangayamma, 73, was so desperate and determined to have a baby that she ‘underaged herself’ to avoid the chances of being ruled out for the IVF treatment. "She lied about her age to avail the treatment. But after fact-checking with her husband and kin, who in turn submitted her school records, we discovered that she was born on September 1, 1946. And we got to know about this after she conceived,” said Dr. S Umashankar, who headed the team of doctors at Ahalya Nursing Home in the southern Indian Andhra Pradesh state's Guntur town. The doctors told the family that they have to live in the hospital during the entire course of pregnancy. “I told her husband that I cannot let you go home as they would jeopardise our treatment plan,” said Dr Uma Shankar. 
Erramatti and her husband were fine with that arrangement. “But we didn’t know how to organise funds for such a pro-longed treatment and stay at the hospital.
It was then the hospital administration told us that we don’t need to worry about the expenses as the entire cost of treatment would be borne by the hospital trust,” said the new mother. The hospital authorities knew that they were staring at an even bigger challenge after they discovered that woman was carrying twins. It was a double whammy for the team. First the woman was 73 and not 65 as claimed by her and secondly, she had conceived twins. “We formed three teams for her. One to look at her nutrition status, second one looked at her cardiac and other health parameters and the third one looked into her pregnancy status,” said Dr Uma Shankar. So finally six-decade-long wait came to end. Mangayamma gave birth to two healthy baby girls on Sept. 5 morning. “Now, no one call me sterile.
