  • 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

  • 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.

Baby Seeta weighed just 400 grams and measured just 8.6 inches when she was born, her minuscule feet only slightly bigger than a fingernail. She was not breathing when she was born. But the couple decided to fight to keep her alive. “When the baby was born, we were uncertain of what could happen,” Dr Sunil Janged, Chief Neonatologist said.

But the couple decided to fight to keep her alive. “When the baby was born, we were uncertain of what could happen,” Dr Sunil Janged, Chief Neonatologist said. The baby required artificial breathing support to regularize her breathing and then she was quickly transferred to Jivanta neonatal ICU. The baby was managed & looked after at Jivanta Neonatal ICU under precise care

  • 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."

  • EXCLUSIVE: By Sherbien Dacalanio in Philippines A Filipino family is desperately trying to raise funds required for separation of their conjoined twins attached at the forehead despite the risk of them dying in the operation. Chiara and Charina, 7, from Roxas in Palawan, were born with craniopagus. The conjoined wins’ struggle starts with waking up and till the time they go to sleep. In between of everything, whatever daily chores everyone does is excruciating painful and difficult for them. From bathing, to eating, while going to school, they need to manage their heads that is stuck to each other sharing an artery. Sonia Nortega, 37, the mother of twins, says: “We conducted a series of medical procedure on the twins, such as MRI and CT Scan. Much to our dislike, the reports suggest that it will be a risky affair to separate Chiara and Charina. In the arterial studies there is clear arterial crossover and sharing between the twins. In addition the venous studies show a very robust outflow circulation in the larger venous vessels. There is also very poor central deep drainage in the veins.’ “But we have decided to go ahead with the process anyway. I am well aware that during the process we might end up losing one of the twins. If one of them gets cured and starts leading a normal life, I would know the other sister’s sacrifice was worth. I am positive and believe in the miracles of science. I wishes to send my daughters to better surgeons, who can handle the risk of this case and cure her daughters. My heart says that they both would survive the operation and would be able to lead a normal life,” the said 37-year-old mother of five. The Nortegas have three other children that were born normal without any complication and lead normal life. After the doctors told the family that the separation of the twins possible is but involves a risky operation, a local charity withdraw its earlier financial support.

  • EXCLUSIVE: Magnus News Agency newsdesk@magnusnewsagency.com +44(0)7487271690 A PAIR OF MIRACLE TWINS BORN TOTALLY DEAF CAN NOW INCREDIBLY SPEAK TWO LANGUAGES FLUENTLY WITH PIX AND VIDEO By Magnus News Agency Miracle twin brothers Zack and Dylan were born totally deaf but thanks to an amazing implant and pioneering therapy they are now bilingual and able to speak fluent English and Italian. The seven-year-old boys from Bath, Somerset, were born without any hearing after doctors suspect an infection damaged their ear canals in the womb. But thanks to pioneering work from medics and therapists in the US and the UK the twins now live happy hearing lives and can speak two languages. Mum Deborah Pezzuto, 51, and her husband moved to England from New York after their sons were born. Just ten days after Deborah gave birth she was devastated to be told by US doctors initial tests showed both Zack and Dylan were profoundly deaf. Stunned by the diagnosis, Deborah was even more shocked to discover the twins would be able to hear sound thanks to cochlear implants, which could be installed at six months old. After moving to the UK in 2013, the Pezzutos have been cared for by specialists at the John Radcliffe Hospital in Oxford, as well as receiving support from the charity AV (Auditory Verbal) UK. Deborah, who runs a life coaching business, lives with her husband Alessandro, 47, and the twins, as well as their daughter Keisha, aged 8. Deborah said: “The world is made of sound and my kids are so happy to learn the sounds, play music and do everything like other children and their sister can do. “When they started at the school I was really scared because they were the youngest in the class, being born at the end of July. “The first two months were difficult as they got used to the noise of the environment, but after that they started doing everything that all the other kids were doing. “They have a lot of friends, they talk and do shows, everything. “They are fluent in b

The seven-year-old boys from Bath, Somerset, were born without any hearing after doctors suspect an infection damaged their ear canals in the womb. But thanks to pioneering work from medics and therapists in the US and the UK the twins now live happy hearing lives and can speak two languages. Mum Deborah Pezzuto, 51, and her husband moved to England from New York after their sons were born. Just ten days after Deborah gave birth she was devastated to be told by US doctors initial tests showed both Zack and Dylan were profoundly deaf. Stunned by the diagnosis, Deborah was even more shocked to discover the twins would be able to hear sound thanks to cochlear implants, which could be installed at six months old. After moving to the UK in 2013, the Pezzutos have been cared for by specialists at the John Radcliffe Hospital in Oxford, as well as receiving support from the charity AV (Auditory Verbal) UK.
