Mrs Cebic, has been helping her neighbours and friends with their eye problems for 40 years and now claims people from nearby towns and villages are flocking to her, hoping her tongue can help cure their ailments ranging from allergies, dry eyes and conjunctivitis and can even reduce the symptoms of cataracts.

First baby born after successful womb transplant!

The first baby has been born to a woman who has had a womb transplant.

It is thought the birth took place in Sweden. Details of the birth are due to be released in The Lancet medical journal next week.
 

 

The donated womb came from the woman's own mother, so the baby is also the first born to a woman using the same womb from which she emerged herself. 

The woman is said to be a patient of Dr Mats Brannstrom, professor of obstetrics and gynaecology at the Sahlgrenska Academy, Gothenburg, Sweden.
She had an embryo transplanted in January after having IVF.

On Friday night the team refused to confirm that a baby had been born saying: "As soon as there is a scientific peer-reviewed paper, we will comment on this. I will provide you with information as soon as we have some."

However last night an editorial on The Lancet website said:
"Reproductive medicine can boast many fertility milestones in its relatively short history: the arrival of in-vitro fertilisation (IVF) in the late 1970s; the development of intracytoplasmic sperm injection in the early 1990s; the first ovarian transplant a decade ago; and next week we will hear details of the first livebirth after uterine transplantation.
"No-one can be in doubt that reproductive medicine is characterised by remarkable scientific progress on a very fundamental question—the very matter of life itself."
Richard Smith, consultant gynaecological surgeon at Queen Charlotte's Hospital in London said is preparing to do similar operations here next year funded by the charity Womb Transplant UK.
He said: "This is unbelievably exciting, its brilliant. We are submitting applications for ethics approval in the next few weeks with a view to doing human live transplants in the UK next year. ...''

The operation, follow-up and immune-suppressant drugs cost £100,000.

The first womb transplant was done in Saudi Arabia in 2000 but failed shortly afterwards.
In 2011 Derya Sert, 21, received a womb from a dead donor in Turkey. She conceived child but no heartbeate was detected and it was later terminated.
In 2012 it was announced by Dr Brannstrom that nine womb transplants had been carried out and all were successful.
Eight of the recipients suffer from MRKH syndrome, a congenital disorder which affects one in 5,000 women and prevents the womb from developing.
The ninth had her womb removed after suffering cervical cancer.

Until now,the only other options for women born without a womb is adoption or surrogacy if she wants to have a child genetically related to her but this is legally complicated in the UK.

About 10 percent of female University of Oregon students have been raped according to survey

 

A survey carried out in the University of Oregon showed that 10 percent of the female students surveyed have been raped while attending the school.

According to university researchers, 35 percent of students - and 14 percent of men - had at least one forcible sexual encounter and about 90 percent of students assaulted kept quiet about the violence.

The White House has declared sex crimes to be "epidemic" on U.S. college campuses, with one in five students falling victim to sex assault while still attending school.

The U.S. Department of Education in May released a list of 55 colleges under investigation to determine whether their handling of sex assaults and harassment violated federal laws.

University of Oregon was not on that list but Jennifer Freyd, a psychology professor who led the study, and other school officials are part of a White House effort to develop a nationwide survey that can be conducted on campuses nationwide, she said.

"If you've got a survey that lets you make meaningful comparisons between colleges, then colleges will have a meaningful incentive to reduce the violence that's being measured," Freyd said.

The late-summer Web-based survey included 982 students. Freyd said she was hesitant to draw broader conclusions about the campus from her findings because, for example, her respondents were younger, whiter, and more female than the general school population.

PHOTOS: Weird fish with human teeth caught in Russia!

Russian fisherman Aleks Korobov, caught one of the worlds weirdest animals.....a fish with human set of teeth!




FISHERMAN Aleks Korobov

Aleks has contacted the Institute of Fisheries and Oceanography for their expert opinion.




Expert Gennady Dvorykankin from the Institute of Fisheries and Oceanography  said: "We had to do an autopsy and carry out a series of examinations to determine the species and an explanation for the teeth.

"We are convinced it is a member of the Piranha family, and that it is a herbivore piranha, not one of the meat eating ones you see in films.

"It is very unlikely that it made its way from its natural tropical waters to our Arctic and then into the river so we can only assume it was dumped by an owner of exotic fish," he added.
