LITTLE BEAUTIFUL AVA DEFIES DOCTORS TO LEARN TO WALK, ACT AND DANCE THANKS TO HER PROSTHETIC SLIPPERS

Up on stage, six-year-old Ava Bainbridge squeals with delight as she dances.

It is a moment her mother, Gemma Day, 31, never thought she would see.

At 14 months old, Ava had part of both feet amputated after she was suddenly struck down by the deadly infection meningitis.

As she lay in her hospital bed, medics said she may never be able to walk, skip, dance and live her childhood to the full.

But Ava defied doctors to recover, and on the day she was sent home, she stood up. Next, she learned to walk with the help of a pair of $1,300 prosthetic slippers designed with a set of toes.

With the special 'feet', the first to be made for someone so young, Ava now loves to dance, trampoline and take part in drama school.

She has since had another pair or prosthetics made, and continues to be a 'little diva' who loves to perform.

The slippers, which cost $1,300, are put on before ordinary shoes to allow Ava to walk properly.

As her feet grew, she had another pair of the slippers made, and has continued going from strength to strength.

The mother said: ' They are brilliant. They just look so life-like. When she got them on you think she has real feet.

'It's just amazing what they have done for her. When anyone comes to the house she gets out her feet to show them.'

Ava's bravery has just been recognised with a Bravehearts North East award.

This event celebrates young people who have overcome extraordinary problems.

MAN DISVIRGIN WIFE'S NIECES 'TO APPEASE ANGRY GODS' AND POLICE WANTS NOTHING TO DO WITH IT

Edo, Nigeria -- The State Police command has arrested a 28-year-old man, one Blessing Enoyoze, for defiling two of his wife's nieces to allegedly 'appease angry gods'.

It was gathered that the accused reportedly committed the act after he claimed that native doctor told him to sleep with two virgin girls to appease the gods in order for his ailing first son to get better.

The unidentified native doctor, had reportedly told him that his son took ill because his wife slept with another man, adding that the wife who confessed to have cheated, offered to bring two of her nieces to her husband.

Reports indicate that one of the victims, whose name was not mentioned, could not live with the shame, and so called the police.

The wife of the suspect, who anonymously spoke, said she went out the night her husband defiled her nieces, noting that she succumbed to pressure from her husband after she was caught cheating with another man.

The Deputy Commissioner of Police, Abdulkadir Mohammed when contacted after the matter was
reported to the station by one of the victims, said, it was a family issue to be settled among them

WHY DO MEN HAVE ERECTIONS WHEN THEY WAKE UP?

Most men have erections during the night or when they wake up, it a phenomenon known as nocturnal penile tumescence (NPT).

All men without erectile dysfunction may have them and they normally occur around three to five times during sleep.

While it is not exactly known why NPT happens, there a few different theories proposed as to how or what causes it. NPT is associated with REM(rapid eye movement) stages of sleep.

One theory is that during REM stage of sleep, noradrenergic cells(neurons that release the neurotransmitter noradrenaline) located in an area of the pons called the locus coeruleus are switched off. It is thought that these cells are associated with the inhibitory tone of the penis; therefore, when their activity is reduced during REM sleep, testosterone-dependent excitatory tones can be expressed which result in an erection.

Also, Evidence supporting the possibility that a full bladder can stimulate an erection has existed for a while and is characterized as a 'reflex erection'. The nerves that control a man's ability to have a reflex erection are located in the sacral nerves (S2-S4) of the spinal cord. A full bladder is known to mildly stimulate nerves in the same region.

The reason for this NPT is that these exercises actually contribute to the health of a man penis. Erections causes the erectile tissue to swell which in turn oxygenates the tissue. This oxygenation maintains its viability and helps to prevent cavernous fibrosis, a condition that can ultimately lead to erectile dysfunction.

Another interesting theory is that erection during sleep prevents men from wetting the bed because it is difficult to pee with a hardwood.

So I guess it a good thing because it helps you keep your boner healthy. Be happy with your boner, its all for your own benefit.

COULD THIS BE THE END TO DAILY INSULIN INJECTION FOR PATIENTS WITH TYPE 1 DIABETES?

Millions of people with Type 1 diabetes may be freed from injecting themselves with insulin every day after a breakthrough discovery.

Scientists have found that injecting billions of immune cells into the body restores the production of the hormone, which breaks down sugar in the blood.

Experts said the treatment, which laster for a year, could be a 'game-changer' for people with diabetes mellitus.

Diabetes is a life-long health condition where there is too much glucose in the blood because the body cannot use it properly.

Insulin is the hormone secreted by cells in the pancreas which breaks down sugar in the blood.

Healthy people have millions of 'T-reg' cells which stop the body's immune system attacking these insulin-producing cells in the pancreas.

However, people with Type 1 diabetes do not have enough T-re cells to protect the pancreas, and so it is attacked and stops making enough insulin.

Everyone diagnosed with Type 1 is treated with insulin and the majority inject themselves with insulin multiple times daily.

Now, Californian researchers have found that T-reg cells can be removed from the body and increased by 1,500 times in a laboratory, the Telegraph reports.

Then, they can be put back into the bloodstream and will function normally to protect the insulin-producing cells.

A trial of 14 people found the treatment is safe - and lasts up to 12 months.

The people in the study were aged between 18 and 43 and had recently been diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes.

Doctors removed around two cups of blood containing two to four million T-reg cells.

These were separated from other cells and allowed to replicate in a laboratory, before being infused back into the blood.

A quarter were found to be there after 12 months, and they were able to protect the pancreas so it could continue to produce insulin.

The therapy could stop the need for regular insulin injections. It could also stop the disease from progressing, leading to organ damage, blindness, limp amputations and other complications from diabetes.

MEN ARE MORE LIKELY TO DIE FROM DIABETES

The likelihood of men dying from diabetes is more than in women because men act as tough guys to follow strict treatment plans, researchers have declared.

Women given specific recommendations about diet and exercise were 30 per cent less likely to die from diabetes-related causes than those given routine care, Danish scientists found.

But the same strict advice given to men had no impact on their mortality.

Dr Marlene Krag, from the University of Copenhagen, said structure personal diabetes care could provide women with significant attention and support - thereby helping them to stick to treatment plans.

She said: 'Women accept disease and implement disease management more easily, which might affect long-term outcomes.'

In a trial done, of those patients receiving structured treatment, there was a difference at the end of the trial - women had lower blood glucose levels.

In the latest study, the authors followed the participants of the original study for 13 years until 2008.

Of the 970 patients from the original 1,381 who survived, 478 women and 492 men were re-examined.

The results showed women given personal care plans were 26 per cent less likely to die of any cause and 30 per cent less likely to die of a diabetes-related cause than women given routine care.

They were also 41 per cent less likely to suffer a stroke, and 35 per cent less like to experience any diabetes-related end-point such as amputation or blindness.

However none of these differences were seen between the men who received personal care or routine car, but the differences between the sexes were only statistically significant for all-cause mortality and diabetes-related death.

The authors concluded: "We propose that the improved outcomes in women may be explained by complex social and cultural issues of gender.'

They added there was now a need to re-think the way care was provided to men and women, 'so that both sexes benefit from intensified treatment efforts'.

WOMAN FOUND $1.4 TRILLION IN HER BANK ACCOUNT

Imagine opening your account and finding a balance for $1.4 trillion. Angela Kwong knew the bank had made an error on her account, or at least she hoped they would see it that way.

The woman from Oahu, Hawaii, said it was lucky she checked  her bank account when she did, or else she would have been dealing with an outstanding balance that would keep several countries going for a bit.

Angela said she was shocked when she logged into her bank account statement Tuesday morning only to find an outstanding balance of $710 billion - twice.

Local news station KHON2 say she immediately got in touch with he bank.

"I was shocked, and I couldn't believe it. The first time I saw it, I had to go to my bathroom and get my glasses on to make sure it wasn't just because of my bad eyes."

The news station said the bank initially told her their hands were tied.
Angela said:

"I called the customer service line and they said their system was down and my number was down and surprisingly, they said they couldn't take the number down and was unable to return my phone call. They said there was nothing they could do."

"It's kind of funny when you look at it, but it's also kind of scary, because if the number was a little bit more normal, then I may have sort of overlooked it.

"I'll definitely keep my eye on my phone and my computer and my bank statements."

Kwong's case was due to a technical glitch that the bank finally managed to sort out, but would not say where the demand came from.

It said:

"First Hawaiian Bank's online banking platform experienced a glitch where customers viewing their accounts online were temporarily shown an incorrect balance. Within minutes of discovering the glitch, we were able to resolve the issue.

"No actual customer Information of balances were affected or compromised, the glitch was limited to the view shown in the online banking environment. We want to sincerely apologize to our customers for any inconvenience this may have caused and we are glad that this was resolved very quickly"
