Los Angeles - Lady Gaga has been hospitalised.
The Born this Way hitmaker received
medical care after suffering from
altitude sickness following her gig in Denver, Colorado, on Wednesday night as part of her ArtRave: The Artpop Ball tour.

The 28-year-old singer shared a
photograph of herself with an oxygen mask strapped over her mouth and nose on Instagram on Thursday, which she accompanied with the
caption: "Altitude Sickness is no Joke! #hitThatHospitalShit #artRaveDenver many true ravers crowd tonight (sic)."
This isn't the first time Gaga has found herself in hospital recently as in April she underwent an operation to have her wisdom teeth extracted.

The star took to her Twitter account at the time to complain about her puffy face and lack of food following the painful procedure.

She tweeted: "Chipmunk Cheeks
Wisdom Teeth out before tour. I can't eat. I'm gonna put some meatballs in a blender. (sic)".

Meanwhile, Gaga was recently
informed her pet pooch Asia was unable to travel with her for the Far East leg of her tour later this month due to quarantine restrictions.

She tweeted earlier this week: "They won't let Asia into Asia. Some quarantine rules. I don't know what I'm going to do without my baby girl in Tokyo. I had so many plans!"

AgapeCharis: Finally! the cure to Ebola has been found by a team of medical experts in Liberia. After much research and findings, they came up with something and it has worked on all the patients they tried it on. The cure to Ebola is fried snail eaten with fried goat meat. It will b on d news soon.

P.S If you are wise, go get those two animals before the price will rise to something you can't afford.

denkyw: fear of ebola

is the beginning of wisdom

Health risks in
football have largely
been limited to the relatively rare on-field incidents
involving footballers collapsing [often
to their demise] due to latent cardiac
issues. With the qualification series for the
2015 Africa Cup of Nations gathering
pace, however, a much more realistic
threat looms for the African game:
Ebola. This haemmorhagic fever of viral origin
- indigenous to sub-Saharan Africa and
first diagnosed in 1976 - typically
causes the infected person to
experience debilitating symptoms,
among them fever, muscle pains, headaches, nausea, vomiting and
diarrhea, along with decreased
functioning of the liver and kidneys.
Severe bleeding then occurs, followed
by the inevitable, death. Ebola has long been deemed serious in
Africa, yet never more so than in 2014.
Its latest outbreak - currently ongoing -
first struck in Guinea earlier this year (in
March) and has now claimed as many as
1711 casualties across west Africa, 932 of whom are reported dead. Guinea,
Liberia, Sierra Leone, and Nigeria have
all presented cases, while at least two
other countries - namely, Ghana and
Mali - have had suspected cases (later
proven clinically false). Even Morocco, geographically located in
a region generally immune to Ebola, has
had its share. A handful of cases have
also been 'exported' to the Americas
and Saudi Arabia.
How does all of these affect football,
though?

Well, basically, there is the cumulative
effect of rather stringent measures
adopted by some of the affected African
countries. A number have restricted
access - partially or fully - across their
borders, and nations have become increasingly conscious with respect to
travel and immigration, even for short-
lived visits. "You never know who
might be carrying what," these policies
seem to say. Liberia have even gone a step further,
enforcing football-specific regulations,
in a bid to curtail the threat and spread
of Ebola. “Football being a contact sport - people
are sweating - they do contact each
other, and that could result in
contracting the disease," the president
of its football association, Musa Hassan
Bility, told the BBC. "It also has to do with the fans because
whenever there is a game, a lot of
people come together and we want to
discourage gathering at this point," he
said. The association had also told Fifa to
cancel trips to Liberia scheduled for
August and September because "we do
not want the life of the Fifa president
[Sepp Blatter] to be exposed to this
disease.” Not that it would really matter, anyway,
for Liberia have already been eliminated
from the Afcon 2015 qualification
process. Its neighbours, Sierra Leone,
have been unwitting 'beneficiaries' of
the recent Ebola epidemic, however. During an earlier round in the
aforementioned qualification series,
Seychelles refused to allow the Leone
Stars entry into their country to honour
a second-leg fixture on health grounds
(narrowing it down to Ebola), thus forcing the southern African nation to
promptly withdraw and forfeit the tie. Just how more severely the latest Ebola
outbreak would interfere with African
football in subsequent months - starting
with the final round of the Afcon 2015
qualifiers - remains to be seen.
Let's hope it wouldn't prove too
disruptive.

The management of the University Teaching Hospital (UCH), Ibadan, Oyo State has said it can deal with the Ebola hemorrhagic fever (Ebola HF) outbreak. The disease is also known as Ebola Virus Disease (EVD). The Chief Medical Director (CMD), Prof Temitope Alonge, spoke in Lagos yesterday at a news conference facilitated by the Pharmaceutical Society of Nigeria (PSN). Prof Alonge explained that Ebola belongs to a group of Viral Hemorrhagic Fevers (VHFs), a group of illnesses that are caused by several distinct families of viruses. He said: “In general, the term ‘viral hemorrhagic fever’ is used to describe a severe multisystem syndrome (multisystem in that multiple organ systems in the body are affected). Characteristically, the overall vascular system is damaged, and the body’s ability to regulate itself is impaired. These symptoms are often accompanied by hemorrhage (bleeding); diarhoea etc, however, the bleeding is it rarely life-threatening. While some types of hemorrhagic fever viruses can cause relatively mild illnesses, many of these viruses cause severe, life-threatening disease.” The CMD said the hospital has the human capacity and facilities to detect and manage the Ebola because, “We have been proactive as far back as 2012, by setting up VHF isolation precautions as well as standard precautions, which enabled us to manage Dengue fever and other outbreaks back then. It was later confirmed that no further nosocomial transmission of the virus was documented, indicating that although Dengue is highly infectious, the use of these measures is effective in preventing the spread of disease and other Viral hemorrhagic fevers, such as Ebola.” He said the major challenge now facing his hospital is how to cremate bodies of Ebola deceased, should there be in his hospital, but, “we have contacted the India communities and other experts in that field and they are ready to collaborate with us should the need arises. We have also printed out pamphlets in English, Yoruba and Hausa languages on what Ebola is, mode of transmission and preventive measures. We have enough Personal Protective Garments (PPG) for the workforce, so UCH is ready and prepared. It will be irresponsible of anybody to say we do not have the capacity in terms of laboratory to diagnose Ebola. The Minister, Prof Onyebuch Chukwu, has clearly stated that Nigeria can make accurate diagnoses of Ebola. “Not only that, we have a bill board that scrolls every five minutes at the main gate, called Orita Mefa (six-T- junctions), where passers-by stay glued reading the information on Ebola. The important thing now is to prevent contracting same by washing of hands with either soap, ash or use sanitisers.”

okay

hope GEJ bathed with salt and hot water

Abuja - The hope of a cure for Ebola
Virus victims in Nigeria was on
Thursday dashed as the United States
of America rejected Nigeria’s request
for the trial drug which is being used
on the two American doctors that were infected with the virus.
US President President Barack Obama
believes it is too early and premature
to share the experimental drug with
Nigeria and other African countries,


In turning down the request, Obama
said it would be far more beneficial to
Nigeria and other African countries to
focus on preventive methods instead.


Addressing the 50 African leaders at
the US-African Summit in Washington,
Obama said he lacked enough
information to approve the drug.
He advised African countries to focus
more on a strong public health systems that could help in controlling
the spread of the virus.
Nigeria had on Monday reached out to
the United States Centre for Disease
Control and Prevention, CDC, in
Atlanta, to request for the drug for treatment of Ebola affected persons in
Nigeria.
