Irina Ayupova, 36, is serving 13 years behind bars on a drugs conviction but she has something to smile about after she became the winner of this year's Miss Spring, the third edition of an annual beauty pageant which was held at an all-female jail located in central Russia. She beat fellow drug dealers, muggers and thieves to be crowned the most beautiful inmate. Contestants first had to take part in a catwalk as judges, made up of guards, watched on. Round two saw them take part in a dance competition and for the third round, they were pitted against each other over who was best at doing impressions of famous Russian celebrities.

The disease which has affected people in
western Uganda for over 30 years has been
said to be contacted from the volcanic soil by
walking bare foot and not by parasitic worms
as previously thought, according to a new
study published in the American Journal of
Tropical Medicine and Hygiene.
Scientists have discovered
that it is volcanic soil and not
parasitic worms causing a
type of elephantiasis in
Kamwenge District is a district
in Western Uganda, reports
the New Vision .
Elephantiasis causes swollen limbs with
sores and great pain. Medical tests
conducted in over 52 people showed no signs
of the filarial worms known to cause the
disease but were found to have a form of
elephantiasis called podoconiosis which is
non-infectious and is triggered by long term
foot exposure to irritating minerals in
volcanic soils.

The Aminu Kano Teaching Hospital (AKTH) in Kano, Kano State, has successfully conducted a cardiac pacemaker implantation on 87 year- old Shehu Bashir-Nababa. The hospital’s Deputy Director of Information, Malam Aminu Inuwa, disclosed this to newsmen on Friday in Kano. Inuwa in a statement said that the operation conducted by a team of medical doctors from the Cardiology, Radiology and Anesthesiology Departments and specialised nurses, lasted one and a- half hours. Inuwa quoted the leader of the team, Dr Isma’il Muhammad-Inuwa, a consultant cardiothoracic surgeon, as saying the patient was received at the Accident and Emergency Unit of the hospital with third degree heart block. “The third degree heart block represents low heart rate less than 40 beats per minute, sync opal attacks and high blood pressure,’’ he said. Inuwa in the statement explained that the pacemaker lead electrode wire was inserted into the right ventricle through the vein in the left upper chest and the electrode was connected to the pulse generator placed under the skin.
