WHO breaks new ground on excessive bleeding at childbirth



The World Health Organisation ( WHO )in collaboration with Ferring and MSD for Mothers, has broken new ground that could help save the lives of thousands of women by preventing excessive bleeding after childbirth, otherwise called postpartum haemorrhage (PPH).

Every year, 14 million women are affected by PPH. Although most deaths are preventable, PPH is the leading direct cause of maternal death worldwide, causing approximately 70,000 deaths per year. It remains a major cause of maternal death in Nigeria.

Results from the largest study conducted in prevention of PPH with nearly 30,000 women, in Nigeria and nine other low and lower-middle income countries, by WHO were published on Wednesday in the New England Journal of Medicine (NEJM).

Titled ‘CHAMPION Clinical Trial’, the study obtained new data showing heat-stable carbetocin is as effective as oxytocin, the current standard of care, in preventing excessive bleeding following vaginal birth.

Researched and developed by Ferring as a solution to address unmet needs in women’s health, heat-stable carbetocin remains effective at high temperatures, an answer to the limitation of oxytocin which must be stored and transported at 2 – 8°C.

Studies in Nigeria and other developing countries have revealed degradation and loss of efficacy in oxytocin ampoules, which could be due to inadequate storage and distribution conditions, hence the need for the heat-stable carbetocin product.

Data show that heat-stable carbetocin maintains effectiveness for at least three years at 30°C and six months at 40°C and has the potential to save thousands of women’s lives in Nigeria and other low- and lower-middle income countries, where 99% of PPH-related deaths occur and where the refrigeration of medicines can be difficult to achieve and maintain.

The WHO publication concludes that the study should inform care in countries where cold-chain transport and storage of medicines is difficult to achieve and is a barrier to effective PPH prevention.

“This is an important step forwards in PPH prevention and these results pave the way for heat- stable carbetocin to potentially save the lives of thousands of women, especially in areas where cold-chain transport and storage is not feasible,” said Professor Klaus Dugi, Chief Medical Officer, Ferring Pharmaceuticals. “We will now work with the WHO and MSD for mothers to make heat- stable carbetocin available in countries where it is needed most, protecting women and families around the world.”

The clinical study was conducted by the WHO Department of Reproductive Health and Research including the UNDP-UNFPA-UNICEF-WHO-World Bank Special Programme of Research, Development and Research Training in Human Reproduction (HRP), using Ferring’s heat-stable carbetocin, and funded by MSD for Mothers.




The Switzerland based pharmaceutical giant will now seek registrations and manufacture affordable heat-stable carbetocin and ensure it is available in the public sector of low- and lower-middle income countries that have a high burden of maternal mortality.

3 ways to cure quick, weak erection, infections

 


The biggest problem most Nigerian men face is that they just do not know the RIGHT THINGS to do to naturally cure their weak erections and quick ejaculation.
Instead, they rather spend money on some “new product” that promises to make their manhood size longer than a python,
or they spend money on fake products similar to viagra that claims to help them last more than 60minutes in the bedroom.
Most of these products are plain rubbish. 

And most likely will not work for lots of Nigerian men just because of their poor health and working condition of their body; and other bad habits like excessive masturbation, smoking and heavy drinking.
Because these bad habits kills your manpower and even when you take Viagra, after sometime the effectiveness will fade off. Then the problem of quick ejaculation and weak erection continues.
Why do you think that in some cases, a 60 year old man will still be sexually active while 30 – 40 year old men will be struggling to get an erection and cannot perform for more than 40 seconds in bed?
It’s simply because the 60 year old man is doing some important things that naturally makes him get proper erections and last 25minutes during sex.
Without wasting time, let me quickly tell you the 3 most important things you must start doing NOW to permanently cure your weak erections and quick ejaculation or else NOTHING will help you get better sexual performance.
  1. Avoid substances that kills your manpower
  2. Exercise regularly and eat a healthy diet
  3. Take medicines that boost your sexual performance
Let me quickly talk about these 3 things and how they affect your sex life …
  1. Avoid substances that kills your manpower: If you are serious about improving the amount of time you last on top of a woman, and having stronger erections, there are certain substances you will need to avoid or reduce the amount you consume.

    One of them is sugar. A lot of men take too much sugar, and like it or not, sugar is not an enemy to your body. Sugar is taken mainly through sugary drinks like soda, fruit juices, beverages and other sugar coated foods like patries, fries, pizza, etc.

    When you consume lots of sugar, fatty foods then you are reducing your ability to last longer and be a strong man in the bedroom.

  1. Exercise regularly and Eat a Healthy Diet: Do you know why most Nigerian men aroud the age of 35 suffer from something known as “Penis Heart Attack”. This is the condition when you cannot have a proper erection.

    And the main reason is because most Nigerian men do not exercise regularly. If you can develop the habit of exercising at least 15minutes every morning, it will go a long way in helping you get stronger erections naturally.

    I’m talking about simple exercises like walking, jogging, using the staircase, and push-ups. These exercises helps your heart to pump enough blood throughout your body and to your penis so that you can easily get erections.

    Another thing that has to do with being in good health, that can help improve your sexual performance is eating foods like vegetables and lots of fruits.

    This alone can help renew your body system and make you last longer during sex with your partner. I’m talking about vegetables and fruits like watermelon, orange, avocados, bananas, apples etc.
  2. Take medicines that boost your sexual performance:  One of the main reason why most men above 35 years tend to suffer from poor sexual performance is because at this age your body production of testerone becomes low. 

    So all you need to do is increase your testerone production and you will get lots of sexual energy.

There are lots of products out there that comes in different forms that claims to work for men but most of them are plain rubbish. 

What you need is a supplement professionally recommended by a doctor or men health specialist that will boost your testerone levels and treat erectile dysfunction.
The truth is, I was once in your shoes of struggling with quick ejaculation and weak erections. 

And even worse, I had small manhood that frustrated my wife and was unable to satisfy her. My small manhood was shrinking in size and becoming smaller. 

It made my wife to reject having sex with me for several months.
Do you know how it feels like to stay with a woman that denies you of sex all because you release within 2minutes of penetrating her and your manhood is too small, easily compared to that of a 3 year old boy?
Talking about having a small penis size, the good news is that there’s an enlargement oil that helps you correct this issue of having a small manhood and releasing too fast.
The enlargement works for increasing the length and girth of your manhood without any side effects.
It’s known as MK Essential Oil, and it has helped over 1,300 Nigerian men to increase their manhood size up to 3.5inches within 3 weeks

What you simple do is to use the enlargement oil to massage your entire manhood and testicles before going to bed.

Once I started using the enlargement oil, I was surprised at the results I got. 

To ensure it is real, I had to take out a measuring tape to measure my penis size, which was 3.2inches when flaccid but now up 5.5inches.
And you know the best part about the MK enlargement oil, the results are permanent. No shrinking of penis or any side effects of any kind.
Yes, your manhood can become BIGGER just like my own when you start making use of the oil. My manhood is now increasing in size and getting longer, we measured it recently and it has added 3.4inches in 4weeks of using the mk oil

My wife now plays with my penis and gives me blowjob, sex is exciting and much better!
Overall, I now command the respect that a complete man should get from his wife. All because I can satisfy my woman sexually.
Apart from that, if you have been suffering from releasing too fast during sex with your woman, then there’s a NAFDAC approved herbal supplement recommended by Men Health experts that helps men to cure chronic quick ejaculation, weak erection and low sperm count.

It’s the exact herbal supplement that changed me from a 1-minute man in the bedroom to performing for over 25minutes without releasing during sex.
The NAFDAC approved supplement known as Mascum herbal pride contains 50capsules and it helps men to restore their sexual stamina, boost libido (also known as low sex drive) and permanently cures premature ejaculation and poor erections.
And the best part about Mascum herbal pride is that…

– Also, it’s safe for Nigerian men no matter how old you are.

– Just 1 container of mascum herbal pride is enough to cure you of your sexual problems and end the miserable life of living with poor erections and quick ejaculation
– Once you start using it, you no longer have to suffer from watery sperm, just use mascum herbal pride with natural honey to cure watery sperm

20,210 babies born in Nigeria on Jan. 1 – UNICEF

 


Nigeria would have approximately 20,210 babies born into the country on the New Year’s day.
This represents the third largest population of newborns in the world on Jan. 1, 2018, the UN Children’s Fund (UNICEF) said.
UNICEF also said nearly 386,000 babies would be born worldwide on New Year’s Day, representing some 90 per cent in less developed regions.
The agency reported that Kiribati’s Christmas Island in the Pacific would most likely welcome 2018’s first baby while the U.S., its last.
Globally, over half of these births are estimated to take place in nine countries, according to UNICEF.
These are: India, 69,070; China, 44,760; Nigeria, 20,210; Pakistan, 14,910; Indonesia, 13,370; United States, 11,280; Democratic Republic of Congo, 9,400; Ethiopia, 9,020; and Bangladesh, 8,370.
While many babies would survive, some would not make it past their first day, UNICEF said.
Stefan Peterson, UNICEF’s Chief of Health, said on Monday that the agency was challenging nations around the world to make sure more newborns survive their first days of life.
“This New Year, UNICEF’s resolution is to help give every child more than an hour, more than a day, more than a month – more than survival,” Peterson said.
In 2016, an estimated 2,600 children died within the first 24 hours every day of the year, according to the UN agency.
UNICEF said that for almost two million newborns, their first week was also their last.
In all, 2.6 million children died before the end of their first month, the global children’s agency disclosed.
UNICEF said more than 80 per cent of the children died from preventable and treatable causes such as premature birth, complications during delivery, and infections like sepsis and pneumonia.
Peterson stressed: “We call on governments and partners to join the fight to save millions of children’s lives by providing proven, low-cost solutions.”
Over the past two decades, the world has seen unprecedented progress in child survival, halving the number of children worldwide who die before their fifth birthday to 5.6 million in 2016.
But in spite of these advances, there has been slower progress for newborns, UNICEF noted adding, babies dying in the first month account for 46 per cent of all deaths among children under five.
In February 2018, UNICEF would launch ‘Every Child Alive,’ a global campaign to demand and deliver affordable, quality health care solutions for every mother and newborn.
These include a steady supply of clean water and electricity at health facilities, the presence of a skilled health attendant during birth, disinfecting the umbilical cord, breastfeeding within the first hour after birth, and skin-to-skin contact between the mother and child.
“We are now entering the era when all the world’s newborns should have the opportunity to see the 22nd century,” Peterson added.
Unfortunately, nearly half of the children born this year likely will not, the UNICEF official regretted.
“A child born in Sweden in January 2018 is most likely to live to 2100, while a child from Somalia would be unlikely to live beyond 2075,” he lamented.

Photo:?4-month-old baby attacked by a raccoon gets 65 stitches to her face
A few days before Christmas, this 4-month-old baby was viciously attacked by a raccoon while she slept and the animal snuck into her home.

The cute little baby girl underwent surgery, which required 65 stitches to her face, and is on a long road to recovery.

Doctors to remove 10-pound-tumor from boy’s face

Doctors to remove 10-pound-tumor from boy?s face
A 14-year-old boy with a 10-pound-tumor on his face is about to get the help he needs as doctors in Florida are planning to remove the tumor.
Emanuel Zayas and his parents recently traveled to Miami on a medical visa. Dr. Robert Marx, chief of oral and maxillofacial surgery for the University of Miami Health System, and a team of surgeons will operate on the Cuban teen on Jan. 12 at Jackson’s Holtz Children’s Hospital.
Marx says Emanuel was born with a rare disorder called polyostotic fibrous dysplasia, which causes his body to develop scarlike tissue instead of bone. The disorder often causes fractures and deformities of the arms, legs and skull.
Emanuel’s father, Noel Zayas, says the tumor started as a pimple when the boy hit puberty and grew quickly over a few months. The tumor is benign but threatens to fracture the boy’s neck and suffocate him.

Home skin care remedies

Homemade skin care remedies

Taking care of your skin, as necessary as it is, can prove to be rather expensive and sometimes we need to look to nature and what we have in our kitchen to create our own home remedies.

Skin care is the very basis and the most important when it comes to beauty, more-so than make-up, no matter how expensive it is, it won't look good if your skin isn't in top condition. Skin however, is notoriously temperamental and it's a case of trial and error to find out what works for you.
The problem with branded skin products is they often contain chemicals and compounds that can react with skin and can be quite harsh. This leads to uneven skin tones, bumps and redness. However, natural products are a lot more easy on the skin but that means you have to be consistent with your treatments in order to see results.
Here are a couple of ridiculously easy recipes that you can make at home and if you use them 2-3 times a week, after your normal exfoliation, you too can be #skingoals.

Honey and Clay Mask

Clay is an incredible ingredient that works wonder for the skin. Clay quite literally pulls impurities from out of the skin and pores leaving it fresher, cleaner and brighter. Raw honey (emphasis on the raw and not processed) is naturally antibacterial and full of antioxidants which are great for a deep cleanse.
Ingredients
  • 1 TB bentonite clay 
  • 1 TB water
  • 1 TB raw honey
Method
Combine the bentonite clay, honey, and water. (Please do not use a metal utensil or bowl when working with bentonite clay.) Apply to the face for 10-15 minutes.  To remove the mask, wash your face with warm water and a washcloth.

Tumeric Face Mask

Tumeric has near miraculous effects on the skin. Tumeric, as well as being anti-inflammatory, reduces redness  and is a brilliant anti-oxidant. Indians have been using tumeric for centuries to cure a number of skin ailments and swear by its healing effects. Tumeric also evens skin tones and has been credited as being nature's natural toner.

Ingredients
  • 1 TB of Tumeric Powder
  • A small pot of natural Greek yogurt
Method
Mix ½ teaspoon turmeric with 2 tablespoons of plain Greek yogurt, then use your fingers to apply the mixture to your entire face, neck, and chest.
Leave on for 20 to 30 minutes, then remove the paste with warm water (and a cloth you don't mind staining).

7 Foods that will help you sleep faster at night

7 Foods that will help you sleep faster at night

Sleeping comes easy for some people while for other, they will need to count backwards from 100 to 1 before the cousin of death will finally lead them to rest for a few hours. However, for some others, they have to rely on pills to get any form of sleep.
Overtime, some studies have shown that the food we consume before bedtime could help aid us in getting to and staying asleep. So why not play it safe with a natural fix? If you're a restless sleeper, try eating any of these foods a few hours before bedtime and be ready to catch some zzzs.
1. HONEY
Raw honey contains a high amount of fructose and glucose. While glucose gives your body a small burst of energy in the form of blood sugar, fructose takes much longer to process. Together, these two chemicals sustain your glucose levels while you snooze.

That little bit of glucose lowers levels of orexin, a neurotransmitter that raises your level of alertness.
2. BANANAS

 (South China Morning Post)

Bananas are an excellent source of magnesium and potassium, which help to relax overstressed muscles. They also contain tryptophan, which convert to serotonin and melatonin, the brain's key calming hormones thereby making this fruit nature's little sedative.
3. NUTS
Who else is nuts about nuts? Pistachios, Almonds, Walnuts, Cashews etc have unsaturated fats that will not only boost your heart health but also improve your serotonin levels. Most of these nuts contain magnesium, a mineral which acts like a natural sedative. Even a small deficiency in magnesium can lead to trouble in the sleep department.
4. OATS

Oat

This is rich in sleep-inducing melatonin, vitamins, minerals and amino acids. It may be your go-to breakfast meal but if you need a good night’s rest, prepare a bowl and when mixed with milk and honey, it can make a very comforting bedtime snack.
5. POULTRY
Who knew that poultry would be a go-to recommendation for sleep? All poultry contains sleep-inducing tryptophan. Tryptophan is an amino acid that the brain uses to make serotonin and melatonin, hormones that calm and induce sleep.
6. YOGHURT

Yoghurt contains calcium, which is needed for processing sleep-inducing hormones tryptophan and melatonin. If topped with nuts and/or bananas, you are sure to get a good night’s rest!
7. PIZZA

Pizza
 (Cicis)

Honestly, any excuse to eat pizza is good! Though some people, especially the fit-fam crew, might disagree with this because pizza is known to contain high levels of fat.
However, even though pizza contains a high glycemic index, a slice just before bedtime has been known to help put one to sleep faster than normal.
The key is to not overeat! Research has shown that the large amounts of rice (high glycemic index) consumed in Japan are significantly associated with the good sleep that Japanese people have. High GI foods won’t get you in shape, but they might just let you enjoy some Japanese tranquility.
