Health / Double Hand Transplant: Uk's First Was A'success' by shollarey(m): 7:54am On Jul 22, 2016 |
The UK's first double hand transplant operation has taken place at Leeds General Infirmary and the patient says his new hands look "tremendous". Chris King, from Doncaster, lost both his hands, apart from the thumbs, in an accident involving a metal pressing machine at work three years ago. He received two new hands from a donor and says he already has some movement in them. Prof Simon Kay led the operation at the UK's centre for hand transplants. Mr King, who is 57, is the second person to have a hand transplant at Leeds, and the first to have both hands replaced. He said: "I couldn't wish for anything better. It's better than a lottery win because you feel whole again." Mr King said the operation, which took place in the past few days, appeared to have been a complete success. "They look absolutely tremendous," he said. "They're my hands. They really are my hands. My blood's going through them. My tendons are attached. They're mine. They really are." 'Complex' Prof Kay, a consultant plastic surgeon at Leeds General Infirmary, said it was a unique procedure: "It's the first time as far as I'm aware that a hand transplant has been done which hasn't been above the wrist, which has been within the substance of the hand, which makes it much more difficult and more complex." And he said there was more to think about when transplanting hands rather than internal organs. "Nobody cares what their kidney looks like as long as it works. "But not only do we have to match the hands immunologically, in the same way that we have to match kidneys and livers, they also have to look appropriate because the hands are on view the whole time." Prof Kay also said there could be a psychological impact on the patient of receiving hands from a donor. Families also found it harder to contemplate donating the hands of a loved-one, he said. Beer in hand Mr King said he couldn't wait to take the bandages off to look at them properly. And he said he was really looking forward to holding a bottle of beer and wearing shirts with proper buttons again. "It was just like the hands were made to measure. They absolutely fit," he said. "And it's actually opened a memory because I could never remember what my hands looked like after the accident because that part of my brain shut down." He says he remembers the accident perfectly but said there was no pain and no trauma. Mr King said his passion was cycling and he had already had a bike adapted so he could use it. Now, he is itching to ride properly and just start doing simple things, such as gardening and using his ride-on mower. After his accident, Mr King was introduced by Prof Kay to Mark Cahill - the first person to have a hand transplant in the UK, in 2012 . He said Mr Cahill encouraged him to have the operation and they're now good friends, he said. "We'll shake hands one day. It's wonderful stuff." The team at Leeds General Infirmary, which specialises in hand transplants, is hoping to perform between two and four operations a year and there are currently four people on the waiting list. Mr King encouraged more people to pledge to donate their hands. He said: "Even if you don't have a card, just have the conversation with your family. "There's no greater gift." source: www-bbc-com.0.freebasics.com/news/health-36858169?iorg_service_id_internal=624173547714020">https://http-www-bbc-com.0.freebasics.com/news/health-36858169?iorg_service_id_internal=624173547714020%3BAfqUO7HS0ra938xP |

Education / Students Reveal Jamb's Secret Ploy, Want Registrar Sacked by shollarey(m): 8:22pm On Mar 15, 2016 |
– Students who wrote UTME protested in Lagos claiming irregularities – The called for the removal of the registrar, Professor Dibu Ojerinde – They claimed the registrar was trying to force them to apply to private universities Students who sat for the March 2016 University Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) have called for the removal of Professor Dibu Ojerinde the registrar of the Joint Admission and Matriculation Board (JAMB) over numerous irregularities in the examination and result. The 2016 exam was the first time computers were used to write all the exams and students and parents have cried out in outrage that the results released were not the true testimony of the performance of the students. They claimed the computer-based exam was still in its trial state and had a lot of irregularities.

They claimed that the incompetence of the examination body has cost a lot of them the opportunity to apply to tertiary institutions.

Photo Credit: Michael Obasa Mr Dotun Sodunke who is the president of the Association of Tutorial School Operators said the registrar of JAMB has shown with the year’s exam that he has overstayed his relevance. He claimed results were just given arbitrarily to students with a number of them getting very low results. He gave the example of students who got text messages confirming the release of their results but when they printed the e results, the scores were different from the ones contained in the text message.

Photo Credit: Michael Obasa He said: “I had a candidate who scored 264 in his JAMB and he had his parents even shared a testimony in church. To his surprise, his score had changed to 176 when he printed it and it has stayed that way. What happened to his earlier score? Some of the students who were given low marks have received text messages from some private universities offering them provisional admission. How did these universities – which they did not apply to – get their details? Someone is trying to enrich these institutions.” Sodunke added that the registrar was trying to force the stodents to apply to private universities One of the students who spoke to Naij.com and simply gave her name as Biola said she sat for her exam on March 2 and her result has not been released since then. Another student, Vivian Michael called for the cancellation of all the results as those who scored high marks were just lucky.

Photo Credit: Michael Obasa “All universities should ignore the JAMB result and allow all students that chose the schools to write their post UTME. They can pick the number of students they want after the post UTME. The JAMB result cannot be trusted as the computer-based exam was just a test-run that the exam body has not perfected.” Another student said she already got a text message confirming her result as 234 even before she sat for the exam and when she finally did, a new text message claimed she scored 127. A condidate, Joseph Olawale claimed 100 marks were removed from his original score but a few days after, 40 marks were added again which still his score short of 200.
