OBESITY KIDS

Obese kids don't react as well to chemotherapy
A study showed that obesity made young people
more than twice as likely to have leftover
leukaemia cells. That puts them at a higher risk
of the cancer coming back and of death, the
researchers said.
The findings could explain why obese young
people do worse on initial chemotherapy –
called induction therapy – than their peers who
aren't obese.
"Induction chemotherapy provides a patient's
best chance for remission or a cure," principal
investigator Dr. Steven Mittelman, of The Saban
Negative impact
"Our findings indicate that a patient's obesity
negatively impacts the ability of chemotherapy
to kill leukaemia cells, reducing the odds of
survival."
Research Institute of Children's Hospital Los
Angeles, said in a hospital news release.

THE WORLD HEALTH ORGANIZATION

welcome to Chuks's Blog
www.youngchuks.blogspot.com

declared Nigeria free of the deadly Ebola Virus.
Nigeria has not recorded a new case of Ebola for
42 days or two incubation period of 21 days.
WHO representative, Rui Gama Vaz, who said it
was a “spectacular success story”, added that
“Nigeria is now free of Ebola.
“This is a spectacular success story … It shows
that Ebola can be contained but we must be
clear that we have only won a battle, the war
will only end when West Africa is also declared
free of Ebola”, he said.
The disease gained entry into the country in July
when Liberian, Patrick Sawyer, came in on
diplomatic assignment.
The diplomat had fallen ill and was admitted at
the First Consultants Hospital, Obalende, in
Lagos.
Nigeria had 20 cases in total, of which eight
died.
The outbreak has killed more than 4,500 people
in West Africa, mostly in Liberia, Guinea, and
Sierra Leone.
An estimated 70% of those infected have died in
those countries.
The WHO officially declared Senegal Ebola-free
on Friday.
Official Statement By WHO country
representative, Rui Gama Vaz
Today 20th October, 42 days(twice the incubation
period) after the last confirmed case of ebola virus
disease was discharged from the isolation ward
having tested negative for Ebola virus, the chains
of transmission have been broken.
WHO officially declares that Nigeria is now free of
Ebola virus transmission. The virus is gone for
now. The outbreak in Nigeria has been contained.
But we must be clear that we only won a battle.
The war will only end when West Africa is also
declared free of ebola.
While the outbreak is now officially over, Nigeria’s
geographical position and extensive borders makes
the country vulnerable to additional imported cases
of ebola virus disease. It is therefore critical to
continue vigilance for any suspected cases by
strict compliance with WHO EVD preparedness
guidelines. Therefore there is need to continue to
work together with states to ensure adequate
preparedness to rapidly respond, in case of any
potential re-importation.

Doubts surrounding Boko Haram deal


Welcome to Chuks's Blog
http://www.youngchuks.blogspot.com
Abuja - Nigeria on Friday claimed to have
reached a deal with Boko Haram militants on a
ceasefire and the release of more than 200
kidnapped schoolgirls but doubts immediately
surrounded the purported breakthrough.
Chief of Defence Staff Air Marshal Alex Badeh
told senior military officials from Nigeria and
Cameroon meeting in Abuja that a "ceasefire
agreement" had been concluded between the
government and the insurgents.
"I have accordingly directed the service chiefs
to ensure immediate compliance with this
development," he added.
Badeh's announcement came after a senior aide
to President Goodluck Jonathan, Hassan Tukur,
told AFP that an agreement to end hostilities
had been reached following talks, as well as for
the release of 219 girls held captive since April.
But a precedent of previous claims from the
government and military about an end to the
deadly five-year conflict and the fate of the
missing teenagers left many observers urging
caution.
Jonathan is also expected to declare his bid for
re-election in the coming weeks, with positive
news about the hostages and the violence likely
to give him a political boost.
Multiple analysts cast doubt over the credibility
of a man called Danladi Ahmadu, whom Tukur
claimed represented Boko Haram at the two
meetings in neighbouring Chad.
"I have never heard of such a man (Ahmadu)
and if Boko Haram wanted to declare a
ceasefire it would come from the group's leader
Abubakar Shekau," said Shehu Sani, a Boko
Haram expert who has negotiated with the
group before on behalf of the government.
Ralph Bello-Fadile an advisor to Nigeria's
National Security Advisor (NSA), told a
conference on Monday that the NSA has been
inundated with fraudsters claiming to represent
Shekau.
"Government wants to negotiate," he told a
Chatham House event in Abuja, "but so far
nobody has come forward who speaks for
Shekau."
Chad talks
Tukur said he represented the government at
two meetings with the Islamists in Chad, which
were mediated by the country's President Idriss
Deby.
"Boko Haram issued the ceasefire as a result of
the discussions we have been having with
them," said Tukur, adding that Ahmadu made
the announcement on Thursday evening.
"They have agreed to release the Chibok girls,"
he continued, referring to the girls seized in
northeast Nigeria on 14 April, causing global
outrage.
Ndjamena refused to comment but security
sources in the country said Chad, which
Jonathan visited for talks with Deby early last
month, had been involved in the discussions.
The source also said a ceasefire agreement
was reached as well as the release of 27
hostages, 10 of them Chinese nationals, who
were kidnapped in northern Cameroon earlier
this year.
The release of the hostages last weekend was
"a first strong signal" from Boko Haram to prove
their good faith, the source added but did not
mention the schoolgirls.
Ahmadu gave an interview broadcast on Friday
on the Hausa language service of Voice of
America radio in which he claimed to be the
group's "chief security officer" and in charge of
publicity.
He made no mention of an end to hostilities and
was vague on details of the apparent talks, even
claiming not to have met Shekau.
He also referred to the jihadi group as Boko
Haram, a name that means 'Western education
is forbidden' which was imposed on the Islamist
radicals by outsiders. The insurgents
themselves never use the term.
Islamic state
The group's known leaders have exclusively
used the name Jama'atu Ahlis Sunna
Lidda'awati wal-Jihad, which means "People
Committed to the Propagation of the Prophet's
Teachings and Jihad".
He made no reference to the Chibok girls and
did not list the creation of an Islamic state in
Nigeria's mainly Muslim north - the core,
unwavering Boko Haram demand since the
uprising began.
Shekau has in a series of video messages since
2012 ruled out talks with the government and
said northern Nigeria will never know peace
until shari'ah (Islamic law) is strictly enforced.
Envoys from Nigeria's presidency have made
similar ceasefire claims in the past, notably
Jonathan's Minister for Special Duties Taminu
Turaki, who led a so-called amnesty commission
in 2013 that was tasked with brokering peace.
Turaki on several occasions maintained that he
was negotiating with legitimate Boko Haram
commanders, including Shekau's immediate
deputies, and that a ceasefire was at hand.
But nothing materialised from Turaki's
protracted negotiations. Shekau said that he
never sent delegates to any talks and attacks
continued at a relentless pace.

NIGERIA TO BE DECLARED

Nigeria expected to be declared Ebola-free
Obtain from news24-http://www.youngchuks.blogspot.com
Lagos - Nigeria is expected to be declared Ebola-
free on Monday, just three months after fears
that the virus could spread like wildfire through
Africa's most populous nation.
The World Health Organisation (WHO) is
preparing to announce that Nigeria has not had a
confirmed case of Ebola for 42 days - or two
incubation periods of 21 days - just as it did for
Senegal on Friday.
The achievement is being welcomed, with no end
in sight to the disease that has claimed more
than 4 500 lives this year, most of them in west
Africa, and mounting fears about cases around
the world.
Close attention is being paid to how Nigeria, with
an under-funded and ill-equipped health system,
managed to contain the virus, as specialists look
for a more effective response to control its
spread.
But there were warnings against any premature
celebration, with complacency still a risk and
luck considered to have played a part in
containing the outbreak.
Monitoring, awareness
Eight people died out of 20 confirmed Ebola
cases in Nigeria, with all infections traced back
to a single source - Liberian finance ministry
official Patrick Sawyer, who arrived in Lagos on
20 July.
Many feared the worst when Sawyer died on 25
July in a private hospital in Nigeria's biggest city,
which is home to more than 20 million people,
with poor sanitation and inadequate health
facilities.
Doctors were on strike at the time over pay and
conditions in the public health sector, where
many state hospitals lack running water, let
alone soap and other basic equipment.
Yet the doomsday scenario of rapid spread
among a 170-million-strong population,
devastating Africa's leading economy and oil
producer, did not materialise.
"Nigeria acted quickly and early and on a large
scale," John Vertefeuille, from the US Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), told AFP.
"They acted aggressively, especially in terms of
contact-tracing."
Key to the response was an existing plan for a
mass outbreak of polio, which was adapted to
Ebola, as well as a rapid appeal for foreign help.
The Ebola Emergency Operations Centre (EEOC)
prioritised contact-tracing and twice-daily
monitoring of those at risk, with experts aware
that every Ebola case is in contact with about 50
people.
In all, nearly 900 people were monitored in Lagos
and the oil city of Port Harcourt, where one
contact of Sawyer travelled after slipping
surveillance, going on to infect another doctor.
About 1 800 people were trained to trace and
monitor those at risk, as well as decontaminate
infected places and care for the sick, said the
head of the EEOC, Faisal Shuaib.
Luck, concerns
Luck cannot be discounted in Nigeria's first brush
with Ebola. Sawyer was taken straight to
hospital after arriving from Monrovia visibly ill,
keeping him off Lagos' teeming streets.
Doctors also prevented him from discharging
himself into an area of the city frequented by
tens of thousands of people with a bus station
that serves the entire country.
The EEOC in the early days of the outbreak
highlighted concerns such as a lack of personal
protective equipment for medics, which could
have had serious implications in any rapid
spread.
Public health campaigns, including a giant
electronic billboard warning about Ebola just
outside the hospital where Sawyer died, have
helped raise awareness.
Airports and seaports have introduced
compulsory screening on arrival and departure;
temperature checks and hand sanitiser use for
the public are now the norm.
Greater knowledge about Ebola is likely to help in
reporting any new cases, said epidemiologist
Chukwe Ihekweazu, who runs the Nigeria Health
Watch website.
But he warned Nigeria against celebrating its
Ebola-free status.
"It's premature when you see the situation in
west Africa right now. There's still a lot to do.
It's not the right time to celebrate," he said.
Vertefeuille admitted that there was "no equal
level of preparedness everywhere in the country"
but still said Nigeria was better equipped to deal
with any future Ebola cases.
Isolation centres have now been identified in
most Nigerian states, while six laboratories have
been accredited by the WHO to conduct Ebola
tests, said Shuaib.
But concerns remained, not least about funding.
Vertefeuille said the federal authorities had been
slow to match state government funding for the
outbreak, which would be vital for tackling any
new cases.

3STEPS TO KNOW YOUR girlfriend

3 signs your girlfriend had sex
http://www.youngchuks.blogspot.com
Abuja – When one of your guy friends had sex
the previous night he will probably greet you with
a high-five pre-raised five metres away the next
day.
But how can you tell if a woman got laid
recently? Men’s Health helps out with that.
She seems hotter
The more active a woman’s sex life is, the more
pheromones her body releases. Those airborne
little Cupid arrows attract the opposite sex, the
Journal of Advanced Research says.
She is less needy
Loads of sex leads to the release of loads of
oxytocin, a hormone that helps us bond. So after
she had sex her needs for bonding are satisfied
more fully and she is less clingy for a while.
She sleeps better
When a woman has an orgasm, she experiences
a 30 percent increase in the hormone prolactin.
That hormone makes her sleepy right after sex,
the Oxford Journal of Human Reproductio n said.
She will also get really sleepy in the afternoon
the next day.

ACTOR SPLIT FROM STAR

Actor splits from porn star fiancé
Www.youngchuks.blogspot.com
Los Angeles - Charlie Sheen has split up with his
fiancée, Scottine Ross.
The Anger Management actor has confirmed his
split from his porn-star fiancée, Scottine Ross,
after being engaged for eight months.
In a statement to Radar Online via his agent,
Charlie said: "Scotty and I had a great year
together as we travelled the world and crossed a
lot of things off our bucket list. She's a terrific
gal but we've mutually decided to go our
separate ways and to not spend the rest of our
lives together.
"I've decided that my children deserve my focus
more than a relationship does right now. I still
have tremendous fondness for Scotty and I wish
her all the best."
Charlie proposed to his now-ex-fiancee on
Valentine's Day earlier this year, after dating for
only four months.
The 49-year-old star has already been married
three times, after his first marriage to Donna
Peele ended in divorce in 1996. He later married
the actress Denise Richards in 2002, but they
got divorced three years later. Together they
have two daughters.
His next marriage to Brook Mueller ended after
she issued a restraining order against the actor.
The couple officially divorced in 2011. They have
twin boys together.

THE KIDNAPPED GIRLS WILL BE HOPEFULLY BE RELEASE

Girls will hopefully be released by Tuesday
Obtain from NTA24news by:#
www.youngchuks.blogspot.com
Abuja - Nigeria aims to have secured the release
of 200 girls kidnapped by Islamist Boko Haram
militants by Tuesday, a senior source at the
presidency told Reuters on Saturday, although he
declined to comment on where the transfer
would take place.
"I can confirm that FG (the federal government)
is working hard to meet its own part of the
agreement so that the release of the abductees
can by effected either on Monday or latest
Tuesday next week," the source told Reuters by
telephone.
The head of Nigeria's military, Air Chief Marshal
Alex Badeh, announced on Friday that authorities
had reached a deal with Boko Haram for a
ceasefire that would enable the release of the
girls, who were kidnapped while taking exams in
a secondary school from the remote northeastern
town of Chibok in April.
Officials at the presidency and the military did
not immediately respond to a request for
comment.
Boko Haram, which conveys messages in
videotaped speeches by a man claiming to be its
leader, Abubakar Shekau, has also not yet
commented on the ceasefire.
Some Nigerians are likely to greet claims of a
ceasefire with scepticism after five years of
violence. Since the girls' abduction, Nigeria's
military has twice claimed to have rescued some
or all of the girls, only to back-track hours later.
Several rounds of negotiations with Boko Haram
have been attempted in recent years but they
have never achieved a peace deal, partly
because the group has several different factions.
The group, whose name translates roughly as
"Western education is sinful" has killed
thousands of people in its struggle to carve an
Islamic state out of religiously mixed Nigeria.
