4 Year Old Boy, JAMMED & STUCK in Escalator!

Most of us are aware of the heartbreaking tragic incident that took place in China recently where a mother lost her life in the process of saving her son after the escalator accident. Well, in just about a matter of few days, an untoward incident struck again in an elevator and this time it involved a 4-year-old boy.

As per the reports, the little boy was having a fun time, playing with the escalator’s handrails, together with this sister who is 3 year-old. The children were left unattended by their mother who as quite busy at the other end, buying tickets.

All of a sudden, the little boy got trapped right within the handrails and sadly no one could get the chance to save the 4-year-old boy. In just about 20 seconds the escalator was turned off, however after checking through, it was revealed that the little boy had undergone extremely harsh injuries and thus was declared dead.

Sadly, there was not much time and the little boy was unable to receive proper treatment as the tragic event took place in just a matter of seconds. Thus he ended up losing his life!


This real life tragedy should serve as a warning message to each and every parent and they must not even for a second leave their children unattended.

Metabolic Syndrome - Why is it Worse than Cancer?

Cancer is one deadly disease that you wouldn't want to catch. A lot of people are often blindsided by this disease as it often impacts someone so hard at the end phase of the illness. One can get it even without knowing. Whether it is lung cancer, intestinal cancer, leukemia or anemia - there's no denying that this is such a silent killer - but now, there's a new thing called the metabolic syndrome which is deemed to be the new silent killer. Check out what it is and find out more about it!

Metabolic Syndrome - The Condition at Its Peak
This metabolic syndrome is formerly known as Syndrome X. The metabolic disease takes heavy toll on a health of a person - it became very common affecting around a thirds of the adults in the US. It is actually growing, alongside obesity. While being overweight can trigger the metabolic syndrome onset - it has a different root cause. Find out more about the risks below.

Metabolic syndrome was found out two decades ago and pathologists have identified a set of symptoms such as high blood sugar and triglycerides, low HDL cholesterol, high blood pressure and obesity. These harmful pathologies tend to help the risks of obesity leading to different kinds of complications such as hypertension and diabetes. All of these are very critical diseases that can really disarm your entire body.

A naturopathic doctor, Dr. Matthew Brennecke from Rocky Mountain Wellness Clinic even warned that it's a cluster of diseases with different causes. Inactive lifestyle, obesity and resistance to insulin are some of the causes discovered.



How to Prevent Metabolic Syndrome?


Metabolic syndrome manifests in many people who are overweight, diabetic and hypertensive. Thus, the best way to prevent this is to not catch any of these three diseases. Diet and fitness is the way to go. The key is control. The trick is to cut sugar and boost real food fiber. Regular vigorous exercise shall also help you prevent metabolic syndrome.

This Man's Girlfriend Got Suffocated by BBQ, May She Rest in Peace!

A supposed to be fun and relaxing weekend, turned into a tragic memory. It was in year 2011 when Hazel Woodhams and Roland Wessling took a trip to the Norkfolk Broads. What they are supposed to do are canoeing, camping and enjoying the outdoors.




However, in the morning, when Roland woke up, he found his partner Hazel dead. What is more terrifying is that the killer is inside their tent. Invincible, silent, and fatal. Roland’s life is also in danger.

Hazel died because of carbon monoxide poisoning. The couple used carbon-based fuel for their barbecue, a night before the incident.

They thought the barbecue was already inactive as it was cold to the touch, there were no more smoking coming from it and there were no glowing. The two then placed the grill inside their tent after several hours.

After sometime, they decided to sleep. Little did they know that the barbecue was still active. Carbon monoxide from the fuel rose to a toxic level because they were in an airtight, small tent. The fumes poisoned the two while they were sleeping, causing Hazel’s death and Roland’s sickness.

Roland remembered, he was screaming for help but the campsite were secluded and nobody can hear him. After some time, he was able to seek for help and was immediately brought to a hospital.

Doctors found out that there was an extremely high level of carbon monoxide in his blood.

Hazel should have been able to identify the perpetrator because she is a scenes-of-crime officer. They have carbon monoxide detector at home. They were not able to identify the perpetrator since they thought the fire was already extinguished.

Stroke vs Heart Attack vs Cardiac Arrest - Which Can Harm You The Most?

It is good to know the primary differences among stroke, heart attack and cardiac arrest to be able to prevent or lower the risk when you suffer from any of those.




To start it off, a stroke is a problem, which concerns the severe reduction of the blood supply to our brain. When there is problem with the supply of blood to the heart, it is called heart attack. Lastly, cardiac arrest concerns the electrical system of the heart.

To be able to distinguish and define the three more adequately:

Stroke
  1. Symptoms include weakness or numbness of one side of the body or face, speaking troubles, dizziness, confusion, loss of coordination and severe headache which may appear without any triggering factor.
  2. When the severe reduction or cessation of the flow of blood to the vital organ causes the failure of the part of the brain to get enough oxygen, stroke happens. Blood clot making its way to one of the blood vessels in the brain usually causes stroke.
  3. Leaking or bursting of a blood vessel that supplies brain with blood is called hemorrhagic stroke.
  4. Stroke is considered as the leading cause of disability that’s long-term and serious.
  5. Risk factors include blood disorders, obesity, alcoholism, smoking, high blood pressure, diabetes, temporary ischemic attack or prior stroke, race, family history, gender and age.

Heart Attack
  1. Symptoms include anxiety and nausea, cold sweats, shortness of breath, squeezing or tightness sensation in the chest, pain that radiates to the upper back and jaw, shoulders and arms. Women may suffer from milder symptoms or even none at all.
  2. When oxygen fails to reach one or more regions of the heart due to the restriction of blood flow, heart attack happens.
  3. It is caused by blockage of an artery that supplies the blood to the organ, which is primarily for pumping of the blood throughout the body.
  4. Cholesterol building up and plaque on the inner arterial wall cause the blockage.
  5. Heart does not stop beating during heart attack.
  6. Treatment should be given to the person who suffers heart attack immediately to lessen the risk.
  7. Risk factors include sedentary lifestyle, stress, poor diet, obesity, high blood pressure, diabetes, family history, gender and age.


 Cardiac Arrest

  1. Signs include gasping, unresponsiveness, and absence of breath.
  2. When the organs are malfunctioning caused by sudden stop of beating of the heart muscles, cardiac arrest happens.
  3. It is caused by heart’s electrical system that has gone wild, causing irregular heartbeat and complete cessation of the pumping action of the heart.
  4. When one suffering from cardiac arrest fails to get immediate treatment, one may die in minutes.
  5. Risk factors include alcohol or drug abuse, smoking, history of arrhythmias, coronary heart disease, family history, gender, and age.

Climate Change Impact: Pathogenic Viruses Revived!

Scientists have grown wary these days as the recent changes in weather could have activated giant virus aging 30,000 years from the Siberian wastelands. Unearthed due to the climate change, these dangerous microscopic pathogens can be silent but deadly.




The US National Academy of Sciences reported this week that French researchers discovered Mollivirus sibericum recently. This is actually the fourth of its kind, pre-historic virus that was found by the team since 2003.

However, prior to re-animating it, the researchers will have to take a test to verify if the bug won't be causing any human or animal disease. The virus is identified as a giant virus as it is longer than half a micron - something that is around a thousandth of a millimeter (0.00002 inch).

The Mollivirus sibericum was named from soft virus from Siberia as it was discovered at Northeastern Russian permafrost. Climate change brought warming at the Arctic regions, which is abnormal for the global average. It seems that the permafrost is slowly disintegrating and a few viral particles which can be infectious, present in the permafrost can be revived and potentially harm people and bring pathogenic viruses.

In fact, the regions from where they are found have rich mineral and oil resources. Industrial exploitation makes these parts accessible and disintegration can even move faster. If the companies and the government are not careful with their exploration and industrialization, the risk of these viruses impacting people isn't too far from reality. Small pox which have been fully eradicated before can infect people.

Another giant virus Pithovirus sibericum was discovered in 2013 at the same location. They were able to revive the said virus in a petri dish. While most of those viruses circulating today are different from those that date from the Ice Age, scientists are more stunned by the fact that the recent discoveries show complex genetics and ancient specimens are abnormally bigger than the recent ones.

The Pandoravirus has 2500 genes while M. sibericum has 500. Influenza A, a known virus these days only has 8 genes. The Spanish flu that killed millions of people in the past, have been resurrected in 2004. They studied why it became so widespread and how it affected a lot of people.
