She is determined to make her career in her chosen profession, but she is slowed down by the pains she feels every month which reflects in her work output. She sometimes skips work on these days and this in turn results to some specific amount of money been deducted from her salary.

The pain she felt at that time of the month is referred to as menstrual pain; it is usually felt as a painful muscle cramp in the lower tummy. The pain is usually in intense spasms and other times it can be dull or constant. For some the pain comes before menstruation proper, for other it starts when bleeding begins and last for 2-3 days.

In the words of Dr. Okeke, painful menstruation or menorrhea is “ any sharp pain or aching pain that comes and goes or possibly pain in the lower abdomen or back. For most people period pain is normal but then the pain becomes too much it is not normal. It is basically caused by the brief moments of cut in oxygen to the contracting muscles.

Painful menstruation can either be primary or secondary, Primary menstruation comes around the time that menstrual periods first begin in otherwise healthy women, is the common constant monthly period cramp, the pain is not related to a specific problem as in the case of secondary menstruation, secondary menstruation on the other hand is the menstrual pain that is the underlying cause of endometritis, adenomysis or pelvic inflammatory disease it happens to women who have had normal period and it is related to problems in the uterus or in the pelvic.

The reason why some women experience more period pain than others is unknown, however if you have painful periods caused by an underlying condition, you may also have other symptoms such as irregular periods, bleeding in between periods, thick foul smelling vaginal discharge, pain during sex.

A zoo keeper at Indonesia’s Surabaya zoo has landed in trouble after he was arrested and charged with impregnating a female orangutan, reports the Kalimantan Press.

A randy zoo keeper has been caught on camera having s*x with a female orangutan ape and impregnating the animal in the process.

A zoo keeper at Indonesia’s Surabaya zoo has landed in trouble after he was arrested and charged with impregnating a female orangutan, reports the Kalimantan Press.

The 38-year-old zoo keeper was filmed in full action by a series of hidden cameras put in place by the zoo’s security officials after doubts emerged about the man’s devious actions towards the zoo animals. He was caught on camera having sexual intercourse with the animals.

“Some animals seemed sexually aroused when it was time to feed them” explains Akhiroel Yahya, employee of the zoo for 14 years. “But what made us most suspicious was when we discovered Marylin, our oldest orangutan, was pregnant. She has never been in contact with any other orangutans because of her aggressive nature, so it didn’t make any sense” he acknowledges, visibly troubled by the news.

Then out of curiosity and desire to know, the zoo officials decided on what to do.

“At first, we clearly did not comprehend what had happened,” admits the zoo’s director, Abdoel Hakim. “Marilyn has been secluded for the past 10 years, it was a total mystery,” he acknowledges. “It is only when we placed several hidden cameras that we learned the horrible truth” he admits, visibly angered by the whole situation.

However, the zoo keeper had denied everything. He denied any wrong doing on his part.

“He said everything he had done was consensual,” explains police chief Abubakar Jaar. “He said he loved each and everyone of the animals and was very sorry he had impregnated the orangutan,” he told local reporters. “He says he did not know orangutans could get pregnant from humans,” he added.

“Contrary to popular belief, the orangutan species is much closer to the human species than chimpanzees. We share practically the same DNA code, with only minute differences, which could explain the orangutan falling pregnant from this man” explains Paleobiologist Bachtiar Pado Panghulu, of the University of Jakarta.

“Particularly in Indonesia, the genetic profile of some of the population is extremely close to the orangutan species, leading us to believe they’re might have been a common ancestor to both species only a few hundred thousand years ago,”he admits

By FRANK 

An EgyptAir plane with 66 people aboard crashed during a flight from Paris to Cairo early Thursday, according to reports.

French President François Hollande confirmed that the passenger plane carrying 66 people crashed over the Mediterranean Sea, but did not comment on what caused the disaster.

No hypothesis is being ruled out, he said.

Meanwhile, Egypt's Prime Minister Sherif Ismail said that it was too early to speculate about mechanical problems or terrorism, and that nothing could be ruled out immediately.

The airline said Flight MS804 had disappeared from radar after taking off from Charles de Gaulle Airport. It was over water, about 175 miles off the African coast, and had just entered Egyptian airspace when it went missing.

Sixty-six people including crew were aboard the flight that vanished early Thursday morning.

The plane — with 10 crew and 56 passengers on board, including two babies and a child — was scheduled to touch down in Cairo shortly before 3 a.m. local time.

As of 11:30 a.m. in Cairo, the Egyptian military was still searching for the 2003 model Airbus A320 with assistance from Greece and a French surveillance jet that was already in the region.

Hellenic National Defense General Staff spokesman Vasilios Beletsiotis told the Daily News that two planes, two helicopters and a frigate had been sent to an area south-southeast of the island of Karpathios.

An Egyptian Armed Forces spokesman said that no distress message had been received from the plane, prompting speculation about what sudden events could take it off course

Egyptian officials have not yet found a reason for the disappearance. Above, Prime Minister Sherif Ismail talks to reporters.

Thirty Egyptians, 15 French and two Iraqis were on the plane, in addition to one person each from Algeria, Belgium, Canada, Chad, Great Britain, Kuwait, Portugal, Saudi Arabia and Sudan.

The disappearance comes roughly two months after a man from the Middle Eastern country made international headlines for hijacking an EgyptAir planeby saying he was wearing a suicide vest.

The disappearance of the current plane (pictured flying near Zaventem airport in Brussels in 2015) follows the hijacking of an EgyptAir jet in March.

Seif Eldin Mustafa, 58, said he made the vessel land in Cyprus, in an attempt to see his ex-wife on the island.

No one was injured in that incident, and Mustafa is facing extradition back to Egypt.

In late October, 224 people were killed aboard a Russian plane leaving the country's Sinai Peninsula. Most of those who died were tourists.

Islamic State militants later claimed responsibility and said it brought the flight down with a bomb

BREAKING: Stephen Johnson Syndrome hits Nigeria, one killed, another hospitalized

By Frank

    

The Federal Minister of Health, Issac Adewole, has revealed that there is a new disease in Nigeria which has killed a Nigerian while another is currently undergoing treatment at the National Hospital Abuja.

Briefing journalists in Abuja, on Friday, Mr. Adewole said the health condition known as Stephen Johnson Syndrome (SJS) was an unusual allergic reactions in Nigeria and some parts of Europe.

He said, “We have to find a means to communicate with Nigerians,so they should all be aware of this dangerous disease and it is the sole business of government to enlighten the society by trying to increase their awareness, knowledge and to improve their quality way of life.”

Dr. Olanrewaju Falodun a Senior Consultant Physician/Dermatologist at the National Hospital, Abuja, shed more light on the disease and the cases being handled in his hospital.

“Stephens Johnson Syndrome, is an immune complex mediated hypersensitivity reaction that typically involves the skin and mucous membranes and was first described in 1922 by Albert Stevens and Frank Johnson,” Mr. Falodun said.

SJS is a rare and unpredictable reaction, and is also a minor form of toxic epidermal necrolysis with less than 10 percent body surface area involvement, the consultant said.

“SJS is a rare but serious and potentially life-threatening contagious drug reaction. Incidence of SJS is estimated between 1.1 and 7.1 cases per million per year and is more prevalent in women than men. Incidence in Europe is two per million per year” Mr. Falodun said.
He confirmed that two cases were being treated at the Abuja National Hospital, saying one patient already passed while the other was still undergoing treatment.

He said the incidence was higher in Africa due to extensive use of herbal preparations and the prevalence of HIV.

He listed the symptoms of the SJS disease to include fever, sore throat, running nose, fatigue, general aches and pains, ulcers in mouth, genitals, anal regions as well as conjunctivitis.

The health complications, Mr. Falodun said, are pigmentation problems, skin scarring, scarred genitals, joint pains, lung diseases, obstructive disorders and eye complications, adhesions, ulcers, and blindness.

He however said the cause of the disease remained unknown in a quarter to half of cases but that self-medications appeared to be one of its causes.

He advised Nigerians to avoid misuse of drugs, while individuals with previous drug reactions should always inform healthcare practitioners so that in future they would be able to predict who is at risk of the disease using genetic screening.

Here are ways Mr. Falodun said SJS could be managed by hospitals:

1. Cessation of suspected drugs

2. Hospital Admission: Preferably in burns unit/intensive care

3. Nutritional and Fluid replacement

4. Temperature maintenance

5. Pain relief

6. Mouth-care

They were supposed to commit suicide using their suicide belts because today is the anniversary of the Isra and Mi’iraj celebration," Peshmerga Lt. Col. Salim ak-Surji reportedly told the Turkish News Agency Rudaw.

He told me ‘all of us must be in heaven by 4 p.m., kill me,” the officer said.

According to a recent law passed in South Africa, all HIV-positive people will be marked near their genitals by year end. They will be marked with an HIV tattoo that will reflect their identity.

By FRANK

According to a recent law passed in South Africa, all HIV-positive people will be marked near their genitals by year end. They will be marked with an HIV tattoo that will reflect their identity.

President Zuma signed a bill that seems to be the biggest step in the history of time. Jacob Zuma after the signing the bill said,”The mark is to protect those who can’t say no to sex. I mean if you can’t read between the lines, you can read between the legs because there is where the status will be tattooed.

The choice to be HIV positive is in your hands now or your genitals for that matter. We also encourage those who have been living with the virus to go to the nearest hospital and get inked with their status.”

This is apparently not the end, he also stated that the first 10 million people to get their status tattooed will be getting a Rs. 50,000 funeral expense voucher. Now, what is that for? I really wonder if this is a helping move and not a discriminative one. Because it clearly feels so.
