  • 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

  • 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.

  • Bethenny Frankel is seen here in a series of photos taken during her aid mission to Puerto Rico, which was ravaged by Hurricane Maria almost two weeks ago. The Real Housewives Of New York personality, who recently underwent surgery to remove skin cancer below her eye, has headed up a huge relief effort and chartered 10 planes to bring vital supplies to the island’s stricken inhabitants. Frankel, 46, and her friends personally paid for the planes - the first four of which she managed to negotiate a fee of just under $20,000. As well as bringing medical and food supplies, Frankel alongside The Global Empowerment Mission flew back dozens of wounded women and children and cancer victims from local hospitals so they could get treatment in the United States. The Skinnygirl founder has used the power of social media to help network and find doctors back in the U.S. who could help. She explained: “Twitter users literally saved babies lives by connecting me to a pediatric hospital allowing me to transport patients home [to the U.S.]. It is the most incredible tool in the world.” Talking of the devastation she’s witnessed on the U.S. territory island, Frankel said: “This is a forgotten island. People have been living on their roofs for 13 days. It is like nothing I have ever seen. Peoples entire homes and cars are immersed in mud the likes I've never seen.” The current death toll stands at 34, but is expected to rise as the humanitarian crisis continues. With an island-wide power outage and widespread lack of fuel, fears continue for residents on the island who need hospital treatment and regular care. Frankel went on: “There is no color on the island. Every palm tree is rooted. This bitch hit every inch of this island. The low death toll is only counting what happened when it hit, but a storm happens more gradually than a hurricane. “Now is when people are dying. They are starving. They are thirsty. They cannot communicate. They cannot bathe themselves. They

As well as bringing medical and food supplies, Frankel alongside The Global Empowerment Mission flew back dozens of wounded women and children and cancer victims from local hospitals so they could get treatment in the United States. The Skinnygirl founder has used the power of social media to help network and find doctors back in the U.S. who could help. She explained: “Twitter users literally saved babies lives by connecting me to a pediatric hospital allowing me to transport patients home [to the U.S.]. It is the most incredible tool in the world.” Talking of the devastation she’s witnessed on the U.S. territory island, Frankel said: “This is a forgotten island. People have been living on their roofs for 13 days. It is like nothing I have ever seen. Peoples entire homes and cars are immersed in mud the likes I've never seen.” The current death toll stands at 34, but is expected to rise as the humanitarian crisis continues. With an island-wide power outage and widespread lack of fuel, fears continue for residents on the island who need hospital treatment and regular care. Frankel went on: “There is no color on the island. Every palm tree is rooted. This bitch hit every inch of this island. The low death toll is only counting what happened when it hit, but a storm happens more gradually than a hurricane. “Now is when people are dying. They are starving. They are thirsty.

  • Bethenny Frankel is seen here in a series of photos taken during her aid mission to Puerto Rico, which was ravaged by Hurricane Maria almost two weeks ago. The Real Housewives Of New York personality, who recently underwent surgery to remove skin cancer below her eye, has headed up a huge relief effort and chartered 10 planes to bring vital supplies to the island’s stricken inhabitants. Frankel, 46, and her friends personally paid for the planes - the first four of which she managed to negotiate a fee of just under $20,000. As well as bringing medical and food supplies, Frankel alongside The Global Empowerment Mission flew back dozens of wounded women and children and cancer victims from local hospitals so they could get treatment in the United States. The Skinnygirl founder has used the power of social media to help network and find doctors back in the U.S. who could help. She explained: “Twitter users literally saved babies lives by connecting me to a pediatric hospital allowing me to transport patients home [to the U.S.]. It is the most incredible tool in the world.” Talking of the devastation she’s witnessed on the U.S. territory island, Frankel said: “This is a forgotten island. People have been living on their roofs for 13 days. It is like nothing I have ever seen. Peoples entire homes and cars are immersed in mud the likes I've never seen.” The current death toll stands at 34, but is expected to rise as the humanitarian crisis continues. With an island-wide power outage and widespread lack of fuel, fears continue for residents on the island who need hospital treatment and regular care.

  • Meet the mother duck who every year gives birth to her chicks in a hospital before parading them down the hallways. Once a year, every year, the patients at the continuing care unit of the University of Rochester's Thompson Health hospital, in Canandaigua, New York, are treated to this adorable sight. The local duck returns every spring to the same courtyard in the middle of the hospital to lay her eggs. Amazingly, the cunning bird has even learned to knock on the doors to be allowed into the building to get to her favorite nesting spot. Then without fail, once her chicks have hatched, she marches them through the hospital back to the surrounding woodland. To the delight of the patients, the little ducks can be seen following their mom throughout the hospital’s hallways, out the door, and into a grassy area behind the facility. The duck follows the same path every year, and facility services staff use old signage to guide her and the ducklings through the halls gently. Amazingly, despite it being an annual occurrence, this is the first time staff has attempted to document the adorable "rite of spring". A statement released by care staff said: “Every year, without fail, a mama duck chooses one of the enclosed courtyards at our M.M. Ewing Continuing Care Center to lay her eggs and take care of her babies. She lets us know when she’s ready to go by tapping on the glass, and this morning, it was time for this annual rite of spring.”. 21 May 2019 Pictured: Adorable mother duckling walks her chicks through a New York hospital every year.

  • 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.

  • By Sudipto Maity in India A man was arrested by police in India's central Madhya Pradesh state after reports emerged of him inserting a rubber grip of a moped handle into his wife's privates. The heinous crime took place two year's ago, but hit the headlines after the victim reached hospital in Indore city, unable to bear the excruciating pain. Fortunately for her, doctors at the Maharaja Yeshwantrao Hospital were able to extract the handle out of her body after a grueling four-hour-long operation, but, her condition still remains critical. The grip reached the 30-year-old victim's urine bladder, uterus and small intestine, causing an infection that had spread into the area as the rubber remained stuck. Doctors said if not operated, the infection would have spread to other body parts as well. The said operation was led by Dr S Bhattacharya. Others, included Dr. R K Mathur, Dr. S Moses, Dr. S S Sharma, Dr. S Verma, Dr. S Joshi, Dr. A Solanki, Dr S Memon, Dr. K S Tiwari, Dr. D Shukla, Dr. P Dayal, Dr. K Arora and Dr. P Jain. The man had committed the crime after the couple got into an argument over his alleged extra marital affair. Reports said the accused was so angry with the wife's behavior, he decided to get her drunk and insert the rubber grip. Strangely, the woman kept the incident hidden till the pain became unbearable for her and had to take help of doctors. Earlier, she had even complained to the police against her husband's unruly behaviour, which she alleged fell into deaf ears. The victim had also contemplated checking up with the doctors, but refrained as she fell short of cash. However, when the infection spread and made it difficult for her to walk, she decided to get herself treated. The accused has been identified as Prakash Bhil. The couple fell in love and tied the knot in 2005. Together, they have six children, five daughters and a son. Prakash works in a band.

  • May 26, 2020, Fredrick, Maryland, USA: Colorized scanning electron micrograph of a dead cell heavily infected with SARS-COV-2 virus particles (yellow), isolated from a patient sample. REMDESIVIR, a drug treatment appears to shorten recovery time for people with coronavirus according to new research. UK Health Secretary Hancock said it was probably the biggest step forward in the treatment of coronavirus since the crisis began. Remdesivir is an anti-viral medicine that has been used against Ebola.
