Woman's Nose Cut Off By Her Husband Of Five Years

A young woman was left with a bloodied face after her husband of five years had cut her nose off and fled on Sunday in the northwestern province of Faryab, Afghanistan.

Reza Gul, 20, was was rushed to hospital after her husband Mohammad Khan, 25, sliced off her nose with a pocket knife. According to the woman, who lost large amounts of blood and now needs reconstructive surgery, the attacks began several months ago after Khan had returned from Iran.

The 20-year-old, who was married off five years ago, lies on her hospital bed with her one-year-old child

Besides repeatedly beating and torturing his wife, he also also married another girl who was just seven years old. Traditionally, community elders and local Taliban representatives are dealing with marital poblems but even they failed. Khan had reportedly fled to a Taliban-controlled area of the country

Officials are trying to arrange to fly Gul to Turkey so she can undergo reconstructive surgery

Local security forces including the intelligence agency and police are currently searching for his whereabouts. Reza, who was married off by her parents when she was just 15 and now has a one-year-old child, will likely to be flown to Turkey for the costly treatment.
The photograph of a disfigured woman was widely shared on social media, sparking anger among women’s rights activists. Maria Reha is one of them, she wrote a sarcastic message on her Facebook page:

Reza Gul, whose nose was sliced off by her husband, receives treatment at a hospital in the northern Afghan province of Faryab

 “We are the most proud and brave nation on earth?! If you doubt it, here is another example of our bravery! Don’t worry, soon America or Europe will make her another nose and Afghanistan will win another trophy for this pride!

This shocking image, purporting to show Gul after the attack, was tweeted by the Afghanistan Independent Human Rights Commission and caused outrage across the country

Afghanistan is thought to have one of the highest rates of domestic violence in the world, although most incidents are not reported to officials. In parts of Afghanistan, slicing off a person’s nose is meant to shame them and show they have brought disgrace to their family or clan.

Man Forces Cheating Wife Walk Naked Around Busy City

A husband who caught his wife sexting several different men forced her to walk naked around New York City, while filming it on camera.
Please, scroll down for photos. Don’t forget about the video at the end of the article!

This disturbing video footage that recently surfaced online shows a married woman, who reportedly sent her nude pictures to other men and was caught red-handed. Instead of talking about the matter or simply leaving his unfaithful spouse the man decided to get revenge in a rather cruel way.

The woman was first forced to walk down the street, in New York, in a towel – before it was ripped off her

He forced her to strip down, wrap a towel around herself and kicked her out to the busy streets. The embarassed woman is seen walking naked down the road, while her vengeful husband follows her shouting abusive insults and filming the abuse on his phone.

But her husband ripped the towel from her, which left her completely naked apart from a pair of boots

He is heard yelling in Spanish: “Take off your towel! Co-operate b****. Show what you are, so pretty and so great. She’s a tart. Let’s go. Let’s go. Say hi to the camera and say why you’re doing this. Take off your towel and pay the price for the shame I feel after telling you how pretty you were and that I wanted to start a family with you, but it the meantime you were talking to seven other men.”

As she tried to walk away from her husband, he followed her insulting

The woman tries to justify herself: “But not to have sex with them.” Which apparently makes him even more angry.
He scoffed: “Oh wow, not to have sex! But conversations about kissing, with “love”, “babe” and the pictures. Take off your towel. You’re going to pay the price like a w****’. Since you’re a w****, pose like a w****. Damn w**** Now the guys you’re talking to will see if you’re worth it, talking to seven men while I was with you.”

The woman tried to cover up her modesty by wrapping herself in the protective sheet of a motorbike

At one point, he violently rips the towel from her, leaving her completely naked in the middle of the street. And when she asks for giving her the towel back he bluntly says: “This is what you deserve.”

U.S. panel finalizes breast cancer screening recommendations

An influential panel of U.S. experts issued final recommendations on Monday reaffirming their controversial position that mammogram screening should start at age 50, but also said some women may benefit from screening starting at age 40.

Under the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force guidelines, mammogram screening every two years for women 50 to 74 got a grade of "B," meaning doctors should offer the service. Screening for women in their 40s got a "C" grade, meaning doctors should offer the service for select patients, depending on individual circumstances.

Critics have stressed that keeping 50 as the starting age for screening could threaten insurance coverage for millions of women aged 40 to 49. That is because insurers are not required to cover screening for women in their 40s, according to provisions in the Affordable Care Act.

Lawmakers, however, have already weighed in, adding an amendment to the 2016 U.S. spending bill that guarantees coverage for mammograms for women starting at age 40 through 2018.

Debate over the proper age at which doctors should start offering screening mammograms has raged since the task force first issued its recommendation in 2009. At the time, the panel cited evidence showing that the harm from overscreening outweighed the benefits in cancer prevention.

Since that time, the task force has maintained that 50 is the best age to start routine screening. But it has left the door open for individuals who might benefit from screening starting at age 40.

"The task force believes that the science supports a range of individual choices for women to make for when to start screening, all the way from starting at age 40 or waiting until age 50, or anywhere in-between," said Dr. Michael LeFevre of the University of Missouri School of Medicine, Columbia, former chair of the government-backed panel.

The new, more inclusive wording of the guidelines is more in line with new recommendations from other cancer groups, such as the American Cancer Society. The society released new breast cancer screening guidelines in October pushing back the starting age for screening mammograms to 45 from 40, and recommending that younger women should have the choice to start screening as early as 40.

Dr. Otis Brawley, chief medical officer for the American Cancer Society, said he is happy with the Task Force's conclusions.

"We all recognize that the patient should be empowered and the patient should control her own body," he said.

According to the task force, screening 10,000 women in their 50s will result in eight fewer deaths, versus four fewer deaths for women who start screening at age 40.

Possible harms of breast cancer screening include unnecessary treatment for potentially harmless forms of breast cancer, incorrect results known as false positives and unnecessary additional testing.

As long as women understand the balance between benefits and harms, they can make a reasonable decision to start screening anytime in their 40s, LeFevre said.

Women with mothers or sisters with a history of breast cancer may benefit more from screening in their 40s, according to the task force.

Your Phone Is A Bacteria Breeding Ground. Here's How To Clean It.

Maybe you've heard that your cell phone screen is dirtier than a toilet seat. Maybe you've decided that ignorance is bliss.
The truth of the matter is that the screens on our devices often do contain more bacteria than the porcelain throne, according to at least a few studies. These germs can include dangerous, illness-inducing bacterial strains like E. coli and Staphylococcus aureus.
If you're wondering what can be done to put a stop to the crappy situation, you should definitely quit the popular habit of bringing your phone to the bathroom. But you might also take advice from the folks behind Whoosh, a cleaning product that popped up at this year's Consumer Electronics Show, who say you should wipe your screen with an alcohol-free antimicrobial spray and a soft cloth.
Disinfecting the device a few times a day this way can prevent the grossness from lingering and transferring to you. And don't forget to remove the phone from its case every now and again: You can rub an unused toothbrush along the crevices of your device to remove particles of debris, CNet advises. Stay clean, friends.

Lyme Disease-Spreading Ticks Now in Almost Half of U.S. Counties

Doctors depend on scientific research to inform the diagnoses they make and the treatments they recommend. When that information is out of date, the doctors and their patients are at a real disadvantage. That’s certainly the case with Lyme disease research. A new report released this morning shows that Lyme disease-spreading ticks can now be found in nearly half of all U.S. counties—a 50 percent increase since the last prevalence study in 1998.
Rebecca Eisen is a biologist at the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). When she realized that the last national survey of tick distribution had been completed nearly 20 years ago, she decided it was time for an update. To ensure that they could compare their results to those from 1998, Eisen and her colleagues used the same techniques employed in the earlier study. They tabulated reported sightings of the blacklegged tick (Ixodes scapularis) and the less-common western blacklegged tick (Ixodes pacificus), both commonly known as deer ticks.
The results were alarming. The range of I. scapularis has expanded into 45 percent of U.S. counties. That’s a 50 percent increase from 1998, when the tick could only be found in 30 percent of counties. The tick’s territory increased most dramatically in northern states and remained fairly stable in the South. Eisen and her colleagues also tracked the range of the less-common I. pacificus, which seems to have remained relatively steady. In 1998, western blacklegged ticks were reported in 3.4 percent of counties; by 2015, that number had only risen to 3.6 percent.

While the majority of patients with Lyme disease can make a complete recovery if they’re treated soon after infection, the research is still vital. As it is now, d iagnos ing  the disease  can be lengthy and complicated. A bullseye rash is a pretty good sign that a person has been infected, but many people never develop a rash. The most common symptoms of Lyme—fever, headache, and fatigue—are easily mistaken for symptoms of the flu or a viral infection, and blood tests for Lyme disease are notoriously imprecise.
This research could help doctors spot the disease faster, by knowing if their patients have been  exposed  to Lyme disease-spreading ticks.
“This study shows that the distribution of Lyme disease vectors has changed substantially over the last nearly two decades and highlights areas where risk for human exposure to ticks has changed during that time,” Eisen said in a press release.

Woman Dies With New Baby In Lagos Hospital

When the water of pregnant Omowunmi Shonuga broke, her husband, Ayobanji, was at alert on the fateful Thursday morning to rush her down to the hospital.

The late pregnant mum

According to The Punch, the 33-year-old expectant father was happy that his second child is on its way. He packed all the necessary baby’s things at about 5am and drove his 30-year-old wife down to the Rauf Aregbesola Health Centre in Egbeda Alimosho local government area of Lagos.
When he got to the gate of the health centre, he found the gates were locked. Shonuga said:
“We got to the hospital around 5am to meet the hospitals locked. I horned and horned, nobody came out. After a while a woman came out and said there was no doctor to attend to me, that I should take her to the Igando General Hospital.
“I said it was impossible for a doctor not to be on duty in a hospital as big as this. She ignored any other enquiry I was trying to make. As I got back to my car, I saw that my wife had delivered the baby and that she was in a pool of blood and she was also bleeding. It was when I started shouting, ‘Blood! Blood! Baby’ that two nurses rushed out from the hospital.”
“After they opened the gate, I drove in. One of the attendants picked the baby, but the nurses refused to touch my wife. I asked for a stretcher to take her in, they said they didn’t have. I asked for an ambulance to take her away from there, they said they were not with the keys.
I had to carry her upstairs with no help from them because they didn’t want to touch her. They said there was no doctor to attend to her.”
After much persuasion from him, the nurses told him to go and buy some injections and drugs that would stop the bleeding while they began stitching a cut his wife had.
“She was shouting that the pain was too much while they were stitching her but they kept telling her to keep quiet. I knew something was wrong and told them to get a doctor. They said he was on his way. We cannot handle this case, take her to Igando’.
Shonuga said even with the stitches, his wife was still bleeding.
“ He looked at her eyeballs and said that she had lost a lot of blood and would need to be transfused but they could not do that at that moment.  I asked again for the ambulance so I could take her to Igando. They said they didn’t have the keys yet. It was just packed there doing nothing. It was then I asked after my baby. They kept quiet. Later, someone went out to check the room the baby was supposed to be and said the baby was no longer breathing.
“It was obvious that they abandoned the baby. I went in to carry my wife with the drip on her but insisted that they must give me a referral note and a nurse to go with me to Igando so that her case could be treated as an emergency.
They refused until their supervisor instructed them to go with me when she heard me shouting. It took another 25 minutes before they came with a note and one of the members of staff went with me,” Shonuga lamented.
When he got to Igando, she was rejected. Shonuga said the nurses told them to go to another hospital as there was no bed space to admit his dying wife.
“For another 45 minutes, we couldn’t get a bed. After I threw a tantrum that attracted some attention, they began running up and down and said they had created a bed space for her.
“They took her blood sample and insisted that they wouldn’t transfuse her till I had paid N20,000. We argued again that it was an emergency that they should go ahead but at this stage she was already losing consciousness. While they were trying to secure a drip for her, she died.”
Shonuga told The Punch that he buried his late wife and his newborn baby later that day. Omowunmi , a graduate of Accounting from the Lagos State University, died at the age of 30, leaving a three- year-old baby girl behind.
“The most painful thing for me is that she suffered so much before she died. She cried and bled on and on, but that did not even move them. There was no doctor on duty and they could not give me an ambulance to handle her case. I only took her there because that was where she had her antenatal and they knew her and her health history. If I had known I would have taken her to a private hospital,” the widower said.
When contacted, the medical officer, Alimosho local government, Dr. Micheal Ariyibi, said that the Ministry of Health had received a complaint and had begun an investigation into the case. The ministry, he said, would not hesitate to punish those involved in the unfortunate incident.

Lady Shares Experience At Government Hospital

She seemed to be full of complaints about the situation she was made to ‘endure’. Read what she said below:
“I was rushed to general hospital, Marina street, the emergency actually. I was bleeding from the nose and mouth to my surprise all this so called doctors and nurses were running from me like I had some kind of strange disease, I could hear in my pain one student doctor telling the other “don’t touch her”, while the rest were saying they had lassa fever or whatever it’s called not me) and he had to use 3 gloves each to check my blood pressure before he then said “OMG!  it’s your blood pressure that’s making you bleed”. It didn’t end like this,I got to the hospital 8:pm and all this their rubbish continued till 10 pm.
”The annoying part was 3 hours later they started asking my mum all manner of stupid questions, which was suppose to be the first question before all this rubbish attitude. You guys won’t also believe they asked my mum to go buy all manner of syringe, and many other things which one of it is that of a drip which they never gave me till now and they Inserted this shit on my hand for no reason at the pic I’m posting, I woke up this morning only to be ignored by 5 doctors coming in and out of the ward, until I asked one what is going on here ,then he replied “your files says you have been attended to”, which i angrily said NO, Then he left and returned and said the nurse on duty wrote the rubbis

What she wrote on Instagram

“10 minutes later 2 student doctors came to check my blood pressure at about 8:40 and the story is ‘it’s a little bit still high’, my question is what’s wrong with our hospitals in Nigeria? Why do they not value lives? I didn’t know that other patients family were watching the scene performed by this so called doctors towards me.
“You can imagine it’s 9:12am what hospital cleans wards by this time , likewise the rest rooms and bathroom. I’m so disappointed to be honest, I haven’t been to the hospital in 15 yrs and this is the stupid treatment I get trusting general hospital is said to be the best place to go. 😩😰😱 I’m writing this in anger cos if I had died I probably might not be able to tell the story. We need help in our hospitals. No good bed spread. Fans are dirty. We need help.”
We hope something is done about the state of our hospitals soon.
