  • 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: **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.

  • 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.

  • EXCLUSIVE: Sella McCartney has infuriated her neighbours in The Hamptons by building a 5ft high sea wall that blocks her community’s decades-old private access to its beach. The fashion designer and husband Alasdhair (correct) Willis paid $1.7million for their three-bedroom ocean front home and adjoining land three years ago. But erosion is claimed to have destroyed 40 feet of frontage in just one year so they joined with an adjacent neighbour to build the wall to save both properties. However, the imposing 230ft wide sandbag structure also runs across a beach entrance road between the two homes that is for everyone living in the private avenue. It slopes up on the avenue side but has had a 5ft sheer drop on to the beach since October last year because a storm washed away the sand that made it resemble a dune. This has made it impossible for most of the residents, many of them elderly, to get down on to the beach. Some neighbours, many having lived for decades in the quiet lane in Amagansett, Long Island, New York, have now branded the designer, 47, arrogant and high-handed. Despite The Hamptons being a millionaires’ playground with high property prices, most residents in the private avenue have lived there for many years and hold down regular jobs or are retired. Stella and her family are believed to have spent part of last summer at the modest 1176 sq ft home. She has four children with Alasdhair, the creative director at boot brand Hunter. The couple advertised the home as a summer rental in 2017 for up to $30,000 a month. Stella’s dad Sir Paul, 77, has had a home in uber-fashionable Amagansett since the 1990s and pal Gwyneth Paltrow, 46, also has a house there. Stella and the neighbour’s wall went up in July last year. But her permit with East Hampton council expired in April. She is now applying for a time extension– but is willing to remove the sandbags across the 30ft wide access and run them round the side of her house, according to the latest pape

  • This is the Nevada prison former NFL star O.J. Simpson is hoping he will be released from on parole from after languishing there for nine years on armed robbery and kidnapping felonies. The 70-year-old felon, a sports icon of his day, has been serving a 33 year sentence at Lovelock Correctional Center since 2008, but is now eligible for parole. On Thursday (July 20) the Nevada Board Of Parole will convene to consider the case and if the hearing goes to plan Simpson could be released as early as October 1. These photos show the typical quarters Simpson is living in at the 1,680-inmate facility, which first opened in 1995 and has a staff of more than 200 corrections officers. Other facilities include an indoor basketball court — providing an opportunity for “The Juice” to show off some of his sporting prowess to fellow inmates. Simpson entered Lovelock in 2008 after being convicted for the 2007 robbery of sport memorabilia dealers in Las Vegas. In 2016 former corrections officer Jeffrey Felix released a book about his relationship with Simpson at Lovelock, titled “Guarding The Juice.” In the book he recalled a saga of an illicit cookie shortly after Simpson arrived, in which an inmate working in the kitchens stole cookies and brought them back to the unit where Simpson was. According to Felix, Simpson ate the cookie in plain view and was written up over the incident. However, Felix says he managed to convince the female guard to tear up the report, saying she would forever been known as “the cookie monster”. This decision could ultimately help Simpson at this parole review this week, Felix has surmised. Earlier in 1995, Simpson was acquitted of the double murder of his ex-wife Nicole Brown and her friend Ron Goldman during length legal proceedings that were dubbed “the trial of the Century.” Simpson was found liable for the killings two years later in a 1997 civil case. 18 Jul 2017 Pictured: O.J.

However, Felix says he managed to convince the female guard to tear up the report, saying she would forever been known as “the cookie monster”. This decision could ultimately help Simpson at this parole review this week, Felix has surmised. Earlier in 1995, Simpson was acquitted of the double murder of his ex-wife Nicole Brown and her friend Ron Goldman during length legal proceedings that were dubbed “the trial of the Century.” Simpson was found liable for the killings two years later in a 1997 civil case. 18 Jul 2017 Pictured: O.J.

  • This is the Nevada prison former NFL star O.J. Simpson is hoping he will be released from on parole from after languishing there for nine years on armed robbery and kidnapping felonies. The 70-year-old felon, a sports icon of his day, has been serving a 33 year sentence at Lovelock Correctional Center since 2008, but is now eligible for parole. On Thursday (July 20) the Nevada Board Of Parole will convene to consider the case and if the hearing goes to plan Simpson could be released as early as October 1. These photos show the typical quarters Simpson is living in at the 1,680-inmate facility, which first opened in 1995 and has a staff of more than 200 corrections officers. Other facilities include an indoor basketball court — providing an opportunity for “The Juice” to show off some of his sporting prowess to fellow inmates. Simpson entered Lovelock in 2008 after being convicted for the 2007 robbery of sport memorabilia dealers in Las Vegas.

  • EXCLUSIVE: **STRICTLY NO WEB UNTIL 1830 GMT 22ND NOV** Meghan Markle is spotted Christmas shopping in London, ahead of what many believe is her imminent engagement to Prince Harry. Wearing shades, Meghan looked stunning in tight black jeans, boots, a grey jacket and matching wrap-around scarf, as she was seen leaving a Heidi Klein designer beachwear store, possibly hinting at a winter holiday in the sun with her prince charming. The store is next to department store Peter Jones, on the Kings Road, which is an old stomping ground of soon-to-be sister-in-law Kate Middleton, Duchess of Cambridge. Meghan was clutching a £2,000 Prada handbag and a shopping bag from Sarah Chapman, which specialises in skin care. In fact, some Royal watchers believe the Meghan and Harry, who confirmed their long-distance relationship a year ago, are already secretly engaged - and wedding bells are just around the corner. It’s believed 36-year-old Meghan is in London making final preparations for her permanent move across the Atlantic to set up home with Harry, 33 – along with her beloved dogs, labrador/shepherd mix Bogart and 17lb beagle Guy. The American actress has just finished filming her seventh and final season of the US legal drama Suits, in which she stars as lawyer Rachel Zane, in Toronto. Meghan’s body double sparked mass excitement juts days ago when she posted a cryptic Instagram post. Nicky Bursic - who has been Meghan's stand-in on Suits for two years - posted a goodbye and congratulations message to the star on the social network that fans have taken of proof that both Meghan has quit Suits and that she is engaged to the royal. "It's been an absolute pleasure and honour being your 'STAND-IN' for the last 2 seasons," Nicky wrote. Though I've been on @suits_usa for 6 years, the latter 2 has been my most memorable. Wishing you all the happiness in the world Bella.” She added a love heart emoji and one of a champagne glass toast alongside some highly revealing hashtags.

  • EXCLUSIVE: Boy with webbed fingers, toes treated like a pariah in the neighborhood and at school, poor parents pin hope on crowdfunding to get their child treated By Sanjay Pandey in India Twelve-year-old Mannu Kumar is treated like a pariah in his neighborhood and at school because of his appearance. Mannu, standard III student, cannot run around like a regular boy of his age. He can't use hands for eating or any other purpose, nor can he wear shoes or slippers. Mannu suffers from Syndactyly, a rare genetic condition, because of which his hands and feet are fused-like. The disease causes abnormal fusion of hands and feet. The rare condition only affects one in 10 lakh people. Mannu, who hails from the Koderma of the east Indian state of Jharkhand, is the eldest child of Anand Kumar, a small-time grocery shop owner, and Rani Devi, a housewife. Mannu also has one sister and the medical expenses of his condition are quite a burden on the family. His parents have spent a fortune on his treatment in the last two years. They have sold family property and jewelry to arrange funds for the boy's medication and diagnosis. Since his parents are uneducated they couldn't pick on the early signs of the disease and his diagnosis was made only this year in July. Now it is in an advanced stage and doctors have told them that it would take at least Rs 10 lakh for reconstructing Mannu’s hands and feet. Doctors informed the parents that the estimated cost of treatment, including neuro and plastic surgery procedures, would come to approximately Rs 10 lakh. Moreover, the family would have to shell out Rs 5 lakh for the treatment process to begin. Since the family has already exhausted all their resources in the last two years, on the boy's medication, they have started a fundraiser to raise money for his further treatment. His mother Devi said: ‘It is the curse of the God that my son was born like this and I am worried about his future. ‘I’m afraid he might struggle to lead a no

They have sold family property and jewelry to arrange funds for the boy's medication and diagnosis. Since his parents are uneducated they couldn't pick on the early signs of the disease and his diagnosis was made only this year in July. Now it is in an advanced stage and doctors have told them that it would take at least Rs 10 lakh for reconstructing Mannu’s hands and feet. Doctors informed the parents that the estimated cost of treatment, including neuro and plastic surgery procedures, would come to approximately Rs 10 lakh. Moreover, the family would have to shell out Rs 5 lakh for the treatment process to begin. Since the family has already exhausted all their resources in the last two years, on the boy's medication, they have started a fundraiser to raise money for his further treatment.

  • EXCLUSIVE: Great white sharks have mysteriously vanished from one of their most popular hunting grounds in South Africa leaving tourism bosses baffled as to what has driven away one of their biggest money spinners. Theories include a fear of Orca's who have been targeting the apex predators tearing them open to eat their fatty livers as well as pollution, climate change and over fishing of much of the great whites natural prey. Between 2010 and 2016 shark spotters recorded an average of 205 great white sightings a year in False Bay which is a 600 square mile section of the Atlantic Ocean near tourist hot spot Cape Town. In 2018 they were only 50 sightings of the deadly predators made famous by the Hollywood blockbuster Jaws and so far this year not a single one of the much-feared great white shark has been spotted. And it has been two years since the Shark Spotters Applied Research Programme has picked up a signal from any of the great white’s that had been tagged by scientists and were resident in False Bay. This comes after 5 great white sharks were washed up along the South African coastline in 2017 with gaping wounds on their side with their livers having been bitten out by two killer whales in the area. The killer whales bite a large slit in the side of the great whites after attacking as a pair and then suck out the fatty liver which is 600lb meat delicacy in a phenomenon that has only recently been discovered. The two Orca’s responsible – known as Port and Starboard as their dorsal fins hang to the left on one and to the right on the other – spurned their natural prey like seals having developed a taste for shark.

  • EXCLUSIVE: Bed-ridden man walks again after 14 kg sac of swollen mass dangling from his thigh removed. NDIA,KOCHI, February 14, 2018 – Saidalavi, a 46-year-old man hailing from Kerala’s Thrissur district, was bedridden for the last two years because of a humungous swollen mass hanging from his left thigh in a sac like structure that weighed a staggering 14 kg. He got afflicted with lymphatic filariasis (elephantiasis) three decades ago and underwent a couple of surgeries over the years, but to no avail – the swelling kept increasing. The patient could move with great difficulty with the help of his aged mother and two brothers. His family members ran pillar to post, but no doctor was ready to take up his case due to the sheer size of the swelling which gave his leg a grotesque appearance. It was a race against time as his swollen legs had begun to get infected. Saidalavi’s life changed radically for the better a few days ago when a team of five surgeons and three anesthetists at Amrita Institute of Medical Sciences in Kochi removed the deformity in a surgery that lasted over five hours. Said Dr. Subramania Iyer, Head, Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery, Amrita Institute of Medical Sciences, Kochi: “It was a complex surgery. Several complications could rise because of the patient being overweight and his inability to walk. First, we treated him for four weeks with intensive antibiotic therapy to control infection in his legs. Then, the challenge was to institute Comprehensive Decongestive Therapy (CDT) which plays a major role in preparing a lymphedema patient for surgical treatment. In Saidalavi’s case, this went on for a month and involved Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD) and a special method of bandaging to make the legs softer by pushing the accumulated fluid to other parts of the body. The size of his swollen legs and immobility made this very difficult and needed at least four therapists instead of the usual one.” Dr. Subramania Iyer added: “Finall

  • A set of one-year-old conjoined twins who had been sharing part of their hearts have been successful separated following a mammoth seven-hour operation. Anna and Hope Richards were separated at the Texas Children’s Hospital in Texas, it was announced this week, by a multidisciplinary 75-strong team of surgeons, anesthesiologists, cardiologists and nurses. The girls were delivered via C-section on 29 December, 2016, at 35 weeks gestation, weighing a combined 9lbs 12oz (4.4kg) and were conjoined at their chest and abdomen, through the length of their torso and shared the chest wall, pericardial sac (lining of the heart), diaphragm and liver. In addition they had large blood vessels connecting their hearts. The twins are now recovering at the hospital and are expected to be strong enough to go home in about a month’s time. “We've thought about and prayed for this day for almost two years,” their mother Jill Richards said, who welcomed the girls along with her husband Michael and their sons Collin and Seth. “It's an indescribable feeling to look at our girls in two separate beds.” The epic surgery was carried out on January 13 and involved planning and preparation before the girls were even born. In November last year, aged 11 months, the twins underwent a surgical procedure to place tissue expanders to allow their skin to grow and stretch ready for their separation. Dr. Larry Hollier, surgeon-in-chief and chief of plastic surgery at Texas Children’s Hospital, said: “The success of this incredibly complex surgery was the result of our dedicated team members’ hard work throughout the last year. “Through simulations and countless planning meetings, we were able to prepare for situations that could arise during the separation. “We are thrilled with the outcome and look forward to continuing to care for Anna and Hope as they recover.” The Richards family, from North Texas, learned Jill was carrying conjoined twins during a routine ultrasound.

In Saidalavi’s case, this went on for a month and involved Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD) and a special method of bandaging to make the legs softer by pushing the accumulated fluid to other parts of the body. The size of his swollen legs and immobility made this very difficult and needed at least four therapists instead of the usual one.” Dr. Subramania Iyer added: “Finall

  • EXCLUSIVE: Bed-ridden man walks again after 14 kg sac of swollen mass dangling from his thigh removed. NDIA,KOCHI, February 14, 2018 – Saidalavi, a 46-year-old man hailing from Kerala’s Thrissur district, was bedridden for the last two years because of a humungous swollen mass hanging from his left thigh in a sac like structure that weighed a staggering 14 kg. He got afflicted with lymphatic filariasis (elephantiasis) three decades ago and underwent a couple of surgeries over the years, but to no avail – the swelling kept increasing. The patient could move with great difficulty with the help of his aged mother and two brothers. His family members ran pillar to post, but no doctor was ready to take up his case due to the sheer size of the swelling which gave his leg a grotesque appearance. It was a race against time as his swollen legs had begun to get infected. Saidalavi’s life changed radically for the better a few days ago when a team of five surgeons and three anesthetists at Amrita Institute of Medical Sciences in Kochi removed the deformity in a surgery that lasted over five hours. Said Dr. Subramania Iyer, Head, Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery, Amrita Institute of Medical Sciences, Kochi: “It was a complex surgery. Several complications could rise because of the patient being overweight and his inability to walk.

  • 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
