  • EXCLUSIVE: A 10-year-old girl suffering from a rare skin disorder is gradually turning into a stone. Scutes shaped as barks -- caused due to mutation of genes -- have spread all over her body. Rajeshwari, hailing from a tribal area in Dantewada district of north Indian state of Chhattisgarh suffers from a case of ichthyosis that causes reddening, scaling and severe blistering of the skin. The incurable disease affects the process of skin regeneration in the human body, making it hard and flaky. Visuals show a heart-wrenching sight of Rajeshwari sitting under a thatched hut with blisters almost covering her whole body. Though the disease doesn't pose any risk to her life, it has made a life 'a living hell'. The disease hinders her daily life, making even simple activities such as walking and sitting very painful. According to reports, the rare genetic condition affects very few people and till now only two dozen cases have been reported in the world. The rarity of the case makes research difficult and the medicine to control the incurable disease has severe side effects. For people residing in the Naxal infested area, availing simple health care is already a mean feat and Rajeshwari's condition requires her to travel to a big city which is difficult for the time being. when doctors were shown the patient's case file, few of them came forward to express their opinions and diagnosis. Speaking about her condition, Dr.Satyaki Ganguly, Associate Professor at All India Institute of Medical Sciences(AIIMS), Raipur, said “ The medical term for this genetic disorder is Ichthyosis Psoriasis and due to very few cases in India, there has not been any major breakthrough in terms of research. Currently, science has no cure for this ailment.” Another dermatologist has another take on Rajeshwari’s case, Dr.Yash Upender from Dantewada Hospital believes that the girl suffers from Epidermolytic Ichthyosis which is not a life threatening disease but is still uncurable.

  • 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. Abou Ali, 58, a single woman, who raised

  • 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.

  • 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

  • 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.

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.

  • 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.

  • Brooke Shields looks incredible at 52 as she parades her fit figure in a bikini for a new body-positive swimsuit campaign. The Suddenly Susan star shared the limelight with an array of other women of differing sizes, including stunning plus-size model Ashley Graham, 30, and reality star Angela Simmons, 30, in a campaign for swimsuit brand Swimsuits For All. Brooke disrobes, a white dressing gown slinking over her shoulders, to reveal her bright red bikini underneath while in another frame the actress puts her pedal to the metal while posing in her two-piece while resting up against a convertible car. The mother-of-two shared with people.com that she finally feels good about her body — and confident in a bikini. “Growing up under such scrutiny led me to feel insecure about my looks," shared Brook, who stars in the Swimsuits For All “Power Suit” campaign. “Feeling disconnected from my own body, it took me years to separate the opinions of others from my own. “At 52 years old, I finally feel comfortable and proud of all the hard work I’ve put into my body,” adding that she feels "confident being in my own skin”. Also appearing in the campaign is nurse practitioner Katie Duke and pro swimmer Pat Gallant Charette, who last year became the oldest woman to swim across the English Channel aged 66. 22 May 2018 Pictured: Brooke Shields stars in a the “Power Suit” campaign for swimsuit brand Swimsuits For All; (L-R) nurse practitioner Katie Duke, model Ashley Graham, actress Brook Shields, pro swimmer Pat Gallant Charette and reality TV star Angela Simmons.

  • 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
