Amazing Recovery Of A Toddler

Amazing Recovery Of A Toddler

Amazing recovery of toddler with 32% burns on his face who healed with NO scars thanks to revolutionary treatment

By Luke Salked

This is the smile that Isambard Ebbutt's mother feared she would never see.

He suffered horrific burns when he poured a cup of scalding tea over his head as a baby.

But despite not having a single skin graft, he is almost unrecognisable nearly two years later.

Amazing recovery: The toddler after receiving a 'Bacteriosafe' technology treatment

Isambard, two, has amazed doctors by appearing to suffer no lasting damage from the accident.

He was just 13 months old when he poured the tea over himself in September
2008.

He suffered 32 per cent burns to his face and torso, and doctors at Frenchay Hospital in Bristol feared he would suffer severe scarring or contract potentially fatal infections.

But he recovered quickly enough to return to his home in Torquay in only ten days, and his remarkable progress has continued.

Badly burned: Isambard Ebbutt in hospital after tipping a scalding cup of tea over his face

Yesterday Isambard's mother, Natalie Ebbutt, 37, who has five other children with husband Chris, said: 'It is so poignant that a cup of tea can kill but I don't think that parents are aware of the damage it can do.

'I see adults walking around all the time with hot drinks near children. I thought he was going to die.

'There is never a day that goes by when we don't think how lucky we are to have him in such a perfect condition and see his smiling face.'

Isambard was treated by experts from the South-West Regional Paediatric Burns Service, who have begun working with scientists from the University of Bath to create a new dressing to protect burns victims from infections.

The 'Bacteriosafe' technology will release antibiotics from nanocapsules triggered by the presence of bacteria which cause infectious diseases. The dressing will also change colour when the antibiotic is released to alert medics.

Mrs Ebbutt added: 'I knew that the biggest chance of losing my child was if an infection took hold.

'All I could do was cross my fingers and hope for the best.

'To think now that there is a possibility of avoiding serious infection and complications with this project is amazing.'

The fundraiser with a sting in its tail... Teenager's raises £400 by creating a beard of bees

The fundraiser with a sting in its tail... Teenager's raises £400 by creating a beard of bees

By Daily Mail Reporter

Most teenage girls like to create a buzz with their fashion statements. But Nellie Odam-Wilson went for an accessory with a real sting in its tail.

The 16-year-old modelled a ‘beard’ of bees at Quince Honey Farm in Devon yesterday – achieving her look by placing the Queen Bee on her face and waiting for a swarm to follow.

She escaped without a single sting after the stunt, which raised £400 towards a charity trip to Africa. Nellie, from South Molton in Devon, said: ‘It felt like they were everywhere.’

Buzzing: Nellie endured the swarm of insects on her face for several minutes

The £390 she raised from sponsors will help to underwrite her trip to Uganda, where she plans to do voluntary work in an orphanage.

Nellie said: 'It was a bit scary having all the bees on me, but it was worth it because it's for such a good cause.'

The plucky teenager endured a faceful of the buzzing creatures for seven minutes, remaining as quiet and still as possible to avoid being stung.

The money Nellie raised will help finance her voluntary work in a Ugandan orphanage

'They were only on me for a matter of minutes but it seemed like much longer. You don't know if one of them will sting you. The bees were all crawling across my face and it was really itchy. But I work at the farm so I knew I was in good hands.'

Farm owner Ian Wallace said it was the first time anyone had managed the feat at the farm without receiving a single sting.

Seeing the world through each other's eyes: The amazing twins who share a brain

Seeing the world through each other's eyes: The amazing twins who share a brain

 

Tatiana and Krista Hogan are unique - the only conjoined twins in the world who  share a brain.

They are so intricately entwined they cannot be separated. Their family say they have special abilities thanks to the neural connections between them and they may even be able to see through each other's eyes.

Despite their unusual predicament, the three-year-old girls' happiness is evident to all around them.

While Tatiana and Krista move together amazingly well, they don't always agree on which way to go or what to do - and that can cause problems.

Unique: Tatiana and Krista Hogan are the only conjoined twins in the world who share a brain

Loving family: The twins with their grandmother Louise and mother Felicia

The twins, who live in Vancouver, have amazed medical science.

'These twins, I think to our current knowledge, are the only ones that do have a common neurological connection,' said Dr Doug Cochrane, the twins' paediatric neurologist.

"They have this connection between their, what's called the thalamus, between the thalami, one in each to the other.

'So there's actually a bridge of neural tissues in these twins, which makes them quite unique.'

Tatiana and Krista may even be able to see through each other's eyes

It also makes them impossible to separate. Their mother, Felicia, and others believe the connection has given the twins unique powers.

'They share a lot of things normal conjoined twins don't,' she said. 'They have special abilities to see each other, see what each other's seeing through each other's eyes.'

Ms Hogan recalled the moment she learned she was expecting conjoined twins.

But the pair are impossible to separate - a fact meaning they may be facing a tragic fate

She said: '[The doctor] just sat there and he's like, "Um, there's no way to say it, but your girls are conjoined, and they're conjoined at the head."

'And he's like, "I have no idea if these girls are going to survive... You still have time to abort them." And right then I looked at him and said, "There's no way that's ever going to happen".'

Tatiana, the smaller of the two, has an enlarged heart and actually pumps much of Krista's blood to her brain.

The complications have led to surgeries and more worries. 'We just kind of live today,' their mother says. 'We live within today. Forget about tomorrow, we'll deal with tomorrow when tomorrow gets here.'

The hidden killer in your junk food

The hidden killer in your junk food

The sight of French fries, aloo tikkis and samosa's are bound to tickle the taste buds of any Indian. But have you ever wondered the kind of oil that is used to cook these delectable items? In all likelihood the oil that is used contains a high amount of harmful fat called transfat.

Transfats are as bad as smoking, claim scientists, who along with consumer groups are demanding regulations for limiting its use in food items.

Though small amounts of transfats are naturally present in dairy foods and animal products, the most common source of artificial transfat is vanaspati, which has 40 per cent transfat.

Food manufacturers frequently use vanaspati oil because it can be preserved longer, gives food items such as tikki s a solid shape and texture, and is a cheap substitute for ghee.

'A two per cent increase in the daily intake of transfats - which can be achieved by regular consumption of small- sized French fries or two- and- a- half samosa s or one plate of bhatura for about a year - is associated with a 23 per cent increase in risk of heart disease. This has been indicated by many studies,' Prof Anoop Misra, president of the National Diabetes Obesity and Cholesterol Foundation ( N- DOC), said.

Transfats are also associated with risk of diabetes, infertility and certain types of cancers.

However, most restaurants are not willing to disclose the kind of cooking medium they use.

In an ongoing research being carried out by the foundation, out of 25 known restaurants, including a few multinational ones, 21 did not disclose information on the type of oil being used for cooking and frying, while five claimed to be using refined oil.

Five out of 11 roadside vendors openly admitted using vanaspati oil for frying food items like aloo tikki and aloo chaat , four did not reveal any information and two said they use refined oil.

The study also found out that among 150 educated women, only 28 per cent actually know about transfats.

Thirty eight per cent women believe transfats do not cause any harm while only 12 per cent were fully aware of their adverse effects.

Among Indian foods, bhatura, poori, samosa, fried aloo chat, halwa, aloo tikki, matthi, namakpara, kachori, fried namkeen and others are rich in transfats.

Examples of western food rich in transfats are patty, cake, pastry, cookies, pizza and rusks.

A committee led by the National Institute of Nutrition, an organisation under the Indian Council of Medical Research, has come out with recommendations to regulate the amount of transfats in oil.

It has argued that the amount of transfats should not exceed 10 per cent of the total fat content in vanaspati oil besides phasing out transfats 'as early as possible'. Other recommendations include mentioning of transfat content along with that of saturated and unsaturated fat on the labels of all food items and edible oils.

The recommendations have been submitted to the Food Safety and Standard Organisation. The N- DOC has also come out with similar recommendations.

The organisation is also demanding that the amount of transfats should not exceed five per cent in soft spreadable margarine or bakery fats and wants transfats to be eliminated from our diet within a period of two years.

'If transfat content is restricted to less than 10 per cent in vanaspati, it would decrease the risk of heart disease in approximately 20 lakh people,' Misra said.

Many more people will benefit from lower cholesterol and blood pressure, he added.

World’s Toughest Rehab Clinic

World’s Toughest Rehab Clinic

Hidden away in a forest, 140 km north of Bankok, Thailand, the Buddhist Monastery of Thamkrabok takes in alcoholics and drug users from all over the world. Unlinke famous detox clinics like Betty Ford (California) , or Priory (London), this Thai monastery doesn’t have paparazzi lurking around, and it’s a lot cheaper. One month at Betty Ford Clinic costs $23,000, while just one week at Priory amounts to 5,000 pounds. At Thamkrabok Monastery, all you need is $3 for food, because treatment and accomodations are supported by donations.

The rehab treatment at Thamkrabok lasts 10 days, and only those who come of their own free will, are willing to follow all instructions, and are comitted to kicking their habit for good, are welcome. When they decide to go to Thamkrabok Monastery, patients must realize they are in for a rude awakening. No matter their social status or wealth, patients will have to sleep in a mass dormitory, wake up very early and take every medicine given by the monks.

That might sound bearable, but most of the herbal treatments at Thamkrabok will have anyone puking out their insides, almost instantly. Apart from the black herbal pills, disgusting herbal drinks, and tons of herbal teas, addicts also have to sweat out their habit in herbal saunas.

After the 10 day program is completed, patients have the option of staying a while longer, to meditate and do chores around the monastery. When they leave Thamkrabok, people must realize they will never get the chance to get treated again. If they leave, and they’re yet cured, they won’t be able to return.
