Teens and adolescents who consume too much salt show unhealthy changes to blood vessels

{Research detects arterial stiffness, or hardening of the arteries, that may put youth on the path to cardiovascular disease}

Findings of a new study being presented at the 2017 Pediatric Academic Societies Meeting in San Francisco suggest adolescents who consume too much salt have measurable changes in their blood vessels associated with early signs of cardiovascular disease in adults.

Arterial stiffness, sometimes called hardening of the arteries, is a known risk factor for heart attack and stroke in adults. Monitors placed on the skin near major arteries in the arm, neck and groin can detect this condition, which indicates increased risk of heart attack and stroke.

Recent studies have found increased arterial stiffness in youth with risk factors such as obesity, diabetes, hypertension and high cholesterol. Researchers presenting the abstract, “Effect of Dietary Sodium Consumption on Arterial Stiffness in Youth,” on Monday, May 8, in the Moscone West Convention Center examined whether too much salt in the diet of teens and adolescents similarly affects their artery walls.

The National Institutes of Health-funded study involved 775 participants recruited from an Ohio children’s hospital who were measured for the elasticity or distensibility of their brachial artery (BrachD), located in the upper arm. Pulse wave velocity (PWV) was also measured for differences in the speed that blood traveled between their carotid artery in the neck and femoral artery in the groin. The amount of sodium they consumed was measured with self-reported, 3-day diet records.

Elaine M. Urbina, MD, MS, Director of Preventive Cardiology at Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center and lead author of the study, said the results showed that higher average daily sodium intake was associated with lower BrachD and higher PWV after adjusting for age, race, sex, body-mass index and other blood electrolyte levels that could affect readings.

“Together, these two readings indicated higher levels of stiffness in both peripheral arteries in the extremities, as well as in central arteries, tied to higher sodium consumption,” Urbina said.

“It’s clear that adolescents and young adults have higher-than-recommended amounts of salt in their diet. Our study suggests this may translate into changes in the body that put them at higher risk for future heart attack and stroke.”

5 reasons you shouldn’t let a bad mood spoil your day

{It’s normal to experience a bad situation and have a bad mood, but you shouldn’t let that mood last; a bad mood isn’t permitted to last more than necessary in your life. You ought to fight bad moods any time it comes and be in control of your mood, no matter what happens.}

Below are some reasons why you shouldn’t give bad mood a chance in your life.

{{1. You lose productivity }}

You are at your least creative and productive moment when you are sad and unhappy. Happy moments bring happy result, and sad thinking will bring sad results as well. A bad mood is a product of a negative energy and there’s nothing productive about negative energy.

{{2. You could miss opportunities }}

With each day comes new opportunities, but you’ll never see them when your heart is not in the right frame. Bad moods will make you miss out on opportunities, and some opportunities only come once.

{{3. You can never regain that day }}

A day lost can never be regained; you can’t go back and get your yesterday. A day you’ve spent has already been spent; there’s absolutely nothing you can do about it. A beautiful quote reads: “Don’t ruin a good today by thinking about a bad yesterday. Let it go.”

{{4. Bad moods never bring anything good }}

Why have a bad mood in the first place? I’m yet to see the first benefit of a bad mood; it can never bring you anything good.

{{5. You should be in control }}

You should be in control of what you do and not let your emotions dictate how you act. When you act according to your feelings and emotions, you can never be successful in anything; you’ll keep making silly mistakes you shouldn’t have made in the first place.

Don’t let a sour mood ruin the beauty of today. You are not assured tomorrow, so why waste your today?

Internet health information can reduce parents’ trust in doctors’ diagnoses

{Research highlights importance of discussing concerns with patients to avoid treatment delays}

New research being presented at the 2017 Pediatric Academic Societies Meeting suggests online health information can influence whether parents trust a diagnosis made by their child’s doctor, potentially leading to delayed treatment.

The study abstract, “Paging Dr. Google: The Effects of Online Health Information on Parental Trust in Pediatrician’ Medical Diagnoses,” will be presented at the Moscone West Convention Center in San Francisco.

Using the Mechanical Turk online research platform, researchers recruited 1,374 parent participants who were presented with a vignette of a child who “has had a rash and worsening fever for 3 days.” The participants, who averaged 34 years of age and had at least one child under age 18, were then divided into groups.

In the first group, participants received screen shots of internet information describing some symptoms of scarlet fever, an infectious disease linked to Strep throat that causes rash and fever. Unless treated with antibiotics, scarlet fever can develop into rheumatic fever and, in some cases, lead to heart damage.

The second group of participants received screen shots listing select symptoms of Kawasaki disease, a condition in which blood vessels throughout the body become inflamed. It also is accompanied by fever and rash. Prompt treatment with anti-inflammatory drugs is needed to help prevent life-threatening complications such as aneurisms.

A third set of parents, the control group, received no internet screen shots. All participants then read that the doctor had diagnosed the child with scarlet fever. Compared to the control group, in which 81.0 percent of parents reported trusting the physician, 90.5 percent of parents who had received scarlet fever symptom screen shots reported trusting the physician. Furthermore, fewer parents in the scarlet fever cohort answered that they were likely to seek a second opinion (21.4 percent), compared to the control group (42.0 percent).

Conversely, only 61.3 percent of participants who had viewed the screen shots listing rash and fever as symptoms of Kawasaki disease reported trusting the doctors’ diagnosis, and 64.2 percent reported that they were likely to seek a second opinion.

Lead author Ruth Milanaik, DO, FAAP, an associate professor at the Hofstra Northwell School of Medicine, said that although there are many advantages of having easily accessible medical information available on the internet, the study’s findings show that “internet-driven interpretation of symptoms” can compromise trust between a doctor and patient.

“The internet is a powerful information tool, but it is limited by its inability to reason and think,” Dr. Milanaik said. “Simply entering a collection of symptoms in a search engine may not reflect the actual medical situation at hand. These computer-generated diagnoses may mislead patients or parents and cause them to question their doctors’ medical abilities and seek a second opinion, thereby delaying treatment.”

Pediatricians should encourage parents to share all concerns they have, Dr. Milanaik said, so they lead them through the differential diagnosis process, and why others diagnoses were ruled out.

“Parents who still have doubts should absolutely seek a second opinion,” she said. “But they shouldn’t be afraid to discuss the result of internet information with the physician.”

Emmanuel Macron: French president-elect to fight ‘forces of division’

{Emmanuel Macron has vowed to fight “the forces of division that undermine France” after easily winning the run-off election for the French presidency.}

The centrist candidate, 39, defeated the far right’s Marine Le Pen, winning 66.06% of the vote to her 33.94%.

Acknowledging his victory, Mr Macron told supporters he wanted to ensure Le Pen voters “no longer have a reason to vote for an extremist position”.

There has been a palpable sense of relief among European leaders.

Mr Macron was elected on a passionately pro-European Union platform, while Ms Le Pen by contrast threatened to pull out of the single currency and hold an in/out referendum on France’s membership of the EU.

{{What did Mr Macron say?}}

In a speech to jubilant supporters, Mr Macron said: “Tonight you won, France won. Everyone told us it was impossible, but they don’t know France.”

At 39, he is France’s youngest president. His win overturns the decades-long dominance of France’s two main political parties.

But huge challenges remain, with a third of the electorate choosing Ms Le Pen and even more abstaining or casting a blank ballot.

Mr Macron said he had heard “the rage, anxiety and doubt that a lot of you have expressed”, vowing to spend his five years in office “fighting the forces of division that undermine France”.

{{Where does this leave Ms Le Pen?}}

Ms Le Pen won almost double the tally her father Jean-Marie won in 2002, the last time a far right candidate made the French presidential run-off.

Although she performed worse than final polls had indicated, her anti-globalisation, anti-immigrant, high-spending manifesto attracted an estimated 11 million votes.

She said the election had shown a division between “patriots and globalists” and called for the emergence of a new political force.

Ms Le Pen said her National Front party needed to renew itself and that she would start the “deep transformation of our movement”, vowing to lead it into parliamentary elections next month.

{{What has the international reaction been?}}

Most of those running the EU were breathing a sigh of relief, given Ms Le Pen’s policies and last year’s Brexit vote.

European Commission chief Jean-Claude Juncker tweeted: “Happy that the French chose a European future.”

German Chancellor Angela Merkel tweeted her congratulations, saying Mr Macron’s win was a “victory for a strong united Europe”.

US President Donald Trump, who has previously praised Ms Le Pen, tweeted his congratulations to Mr Macron for the “big win” and said he looked forward to working with him.

Emmanuel Macron has won the presidency. He now needs to win over the French people.

Many of those who voted for him did so to stop Marine Le Pen. They remain to be convinced by his political programme, unlike Brussels, which is delighted.

EU leaders believe Marine Le Pen’s defeat is a strong sign that Eurosceptic nationalism is now ebbing.

But while far right populists have been defeated in Austria, the Netherlands and France, the barbed issues that drove voters to them – unemployment, immigration and fear of globalisation – remain to be resolved.

France’s deep political divisions will become evident once again in the lead-up to parliamentary elections.

The question remains: Will Emmanuel Macron, inexperienced in politics and with his fledgling party be able to form the credible government needed to pass the reforms he promises?

{{What challenges lie ahead for Mr Macron?}}

With parliamentary elections in June, he will be campaigning on behalf of his new movement En Marche to get the seats he needs to pursue his legislative agenda.

The grouping, founded just over a year ago, does not yet have a presence in parliament. If he cannot gain a majority he may have to form a coalition.

His campaign pledges included a 120,000 reduction in public-sector jobs, a cut in public spending by €60bn (£50bn; $65bn), and a lowering of the unemployment rate to below 7%.

He vowed to ease labour laws and give new protections to the self-employed.

RDF Special Operations Forces donate blood as part of Army Week activities

{RDF Special Operations Forces (SoF) Brigade military personnel donated their blood to the Rwanda Biomedical Center (RBC) on Saturday.The activity was carried out at the Bigogwe SoF barracks, in Nyabihu District.}

As it was explained by the SoF Brigade Commander, Brig Gen Innocent Kabandana, the blood donation was organised in the framework of the ongoing Army Week activities countrywide, aiming at uplifting socio-economic development of Rwanda and welfare of citizens in general. “We have organized this activity to contribute to the Army Week, as RDF is currently engaged in different activities that include infrastructure development, agricultural and environmental protection activities and free medical services”, Brig Gen Kabandana noted. “We feel that blood donation is a human activity and good culture to adopt in order to save the lives of people” he added. He also emphasized that winning the battle of Liberating the country was one thing, but that it was not enough, since “RDF has also the responsibility of contributing to national development”.

Mukamazimpaka Alexia from Rwanda Biomedical Center commended Rwanda Defence Force for the good example to other citizens. “We collect blood from Rwanda Defence Force at least every 3 months; this is a commitment they have made. It is a huge contribution to National Blood stock that can now satisfy blood demand from all hospitals across the country.

During the blood donation in Bigogwe SoF Camp, 387 Blood Units were collected.

100s in Turkey Commemorate Genocide Against the Tutsi

{Over 300 Turkish citizens joined the Rwandan community, diplomats and Friends of Rwanda to mark the 23 Commemoration of the genocide against the Tutsi in a sombre ceremony in Kecioren municipality, Ankara, on 2 May 2017.}

The commemoration kicked off with a Walk to Remember by over 200 people led by Rwanda’s Ambassador to Turkey, Williams Nkurunziza. The Walk, which started at the Municipality headquarter’s square, followed the main boulevard before ending at the Kecioren’s old palace building where a formal commemoration ceremony was held. Participants lit candles of remembrance and observed a minute of silence before watching a video that sketches the genesis of the genocide.

Addressing nearly 300 people at the event, Ambassador Nkurunziza explained why Rwanda commemorates. “For 100 days from April to July 1994, my country was gripped by an incomprehensible madness as the architects of the genocide against the Tutsi unleashed an extermination campaign with senseless barbarity that left over a million dead and a the nation in tatters,” he said.

Accordingly, “we commemorate to remember and honor the memory of those who perished in the 1994 genocide against the Tutsi. It is also time to comfort those who survived; a time to recall and celebrate the ennobling acts of courage and human sacrifice that stopped the genocide as well as a moment in which we renew our commitment to a better future for Rwanda’s children, including a world without prejudice, genocide ideology and genocide deniers,” he added.

He thanked participants that included Kecioren Mayor, His Worship Mustafa A.K, members of the diplomatic community, Kicioren residents and studentsas well as Friends of Rwanda “for pausing to reflect on our tragedy, and caring enough to pay attention to our pain.” If I may borrow famed poet Maya Angelo’s words, your presence and compassion today, is ‘the rainbow in our dark cloud’ of mourning,” the Ambassador added.

Mayor Mustafa reiterated his Council’s and Kedioren community’s solidarity with Rwanda, adding that they shared Rwanda’s pain and could never forget the more than one million people killed during the genocide against the Tutsi. The municipality and the Rwanda Embassy in Ankara jointly organised the Commemoration.

Speaking at the same event, Turkish Academician, Professor Ahmet Sadat Aybar expressed profound regret at the senseless loss of human life during the genocide against the Tutsi and lamented the rising wave of genocide deniers among western academicians. While calling for their isolation and condemnation, he also highlighted the need for collaboration in expanding homegrown research and publication initiatives by African academicians as a counterforce to misrepresentations of Rwanda and Africa by western intelligentsia and media.

The Ambassador reassured participants that Rwanda has made positive gains since 1994, adding that the country is working hard to defend these gains against genocide deniers.

“23 years ago, we took the path to self-annihilation because we had lost our sense of dignity under very bad leadership. Since then, Present Kagame and his government have led Rwandans on a path to self-liberation. He has entrenched an inclusive political dispensation that has led to a phenomenal decline in the torrents of hate that fuelled the 1994 genocide against the Tutsi. In its place, we see a swelling tide of care and compassion that has enabled Rwandans to journey together on a firm path of national healing, reconstruction and development. We are not yet on the mountain top, but our shoulder is stuck firmly on the twin wheels of hope and purpose. And no genocide denier can stop this momentum,” he noted.

The Mayor then led participants in officially opening a photo exhibition to commemorate the genocide against the Tutsi at the municipality’s old palace building. The 4-day exhibition was open to all Kecioren residents, including university and high school students.

The Embassay, in collaboration with partner institutiins, is scheduled to hold two more commemoration events, one at Ankara University on 11th May and the other at the Istanbul-based Aydin University on 10th May 2017.

Syria’s ‘de-escalation zones’ explained

{A deal signed by Russia, Turkey and Iran to create ‘safe zones’ went into effect on Saturday.}

A new deal aimed at reducing violence in Syria is now in effect, but questions remain as to its implementation and its consequences.

The agreement signed on Thursday by Iran, Russia and Turkey in the Kazakh capital, Astana, is the latest in a series of ceasefire proposals aimed at ending Syria’s war, now in its seventh year.

The plan calls for the cessation of hostilities between rebel groups and forces fighting on behalf of Bashar al-Assad’s government in four so-called “de-escalation zones” in mainly opposition-held areas of the country.

Russia, Turkey and Iran are to act as guarantors.

{{The deal covers four areas:}}

– Zone 1: Idlib province, as well as northeastern areas of Latakia province, western areas of Aleppo province and northern areas of Hama province. There are more than one million civilians in this zone and its rebel factions are dominated by an al-Qaeda-linked alliance.

– Zone 2: The Rastan and Talbiseh enclave in northern Homs province. There are approximately 180,000 civilians in this zone and its network of rebel groups includes al-Qaeda-linked fighters.

– Zone 3: Eastern Ghouta in the northern Damascus countryside. Controlled by Jaish al-Islam, a powerful rebel faction that is participating in the Astana talks. It is home to about 690,000 civilians. This zone does not include the adjacent, government-besieged area of Qaboun.

– Zone 4: The rebel-controlled south along the border with Jordan that includes parts of Deraa and Quneitra provinces. Up to 800,000 civilians live there.

The plan specifies that a six-month renewable truce will begin on Saturday and that Assad’s air force will halt all flights over the de-escalation areas.

Russia will continue to fly over the areas but will refrain from conducting air raids. The Syrian government is to allow “unhindered” humanitarian aid into rebel-held areas, and public services like electricity and water are to be restored where they have been cut off.

The two-track political process is also set to continue, with talks scheduled to take place at the UN in Geneva, potentially at the end of May, and another round of Russian-led talks in Kazakhstan in mid-July.

The deal allows its guarantors to continue targeting the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL, also known as ISIS) and al-Qaeda-linked groups inside the safe zones.

While ISIL has little-to-no presence inside the areas in question, the al-Qaeda-linked Tahrir al-Sham alliance works closely with other rebel groups in all of the four proposed de-escalation areas.

Previous ceasefires have collapsed as Russian and Syrian jets continued to hit civilians under the premise of targeting al-Qaeda-affiliated fighters.

“This leaves Tahrir al-Sham with every reason to rally opposition to the Astana deal and to torpedo it through bombings and other provocations,” Syria analyst Aron Lund wrote in an article on Friday.

“It also seems likely to provoke clashes between the jihadis and those rebels who intend to abide by the Astana plan, which could, in turn, tempt the al-Assad government to seize new opportunities for advancement.”

Alexander Fomin, Russia’s deputy defence minister, said that if implemented, the deal would allow for the separation of the opposition from ISIL fighters and those affiliated with al-Qaeda. He did not elaborate.

The Syrian government has said that although it will abide by the agreement, it would continue fighting “terrorism” wherever it exists, parlance for most armed rebel groups fighting government troops.

The Pentagon said the de-escalation agreement would not affect the US-led air campaign against ISIL.

“The coalition will continue to target ISIS wherever they operate to ensure they have no sanctuary,” said Pentagon spokesman Marine Maj. Adrian JT Rankine-Galloway, using an alternative acronym for the hardline group.

As in previous deals struck by foreign backers of the warring sides in Syria, there is no clear mechanism to resolve conflicts and violations.

This is the first plan, however, to envisage armed foreign monitors on the ground in Syria.

Troops from the three countries are expected to help secure the safe zones. But an official with Russia’s military general staff said other countries may eventually have a role in enforcing the de-escalation areas.

Sergei Rudskoi, a Russian colonel-general, told reporters on Friday that the “work of checkpoints and observation posts, as well as the management of security zones, will be carried out by the personnel and formations of Russia, Turkey and Iran”.

Russian officials said it will be at least another month until the details are worked out and the safe areas established. A joint working group of the three guarantors is expected to be created later this month.

Turkey, whose agenda in Syria has significantly narrowed over the past year, is a major rebel backer and its forces occupy a sizeable swath of territory in the country’s north.

Russia and Iran are key Assad allies and both are viewed as foreign occupying forces by his opponents. Iran’s presence as a guarantor to the deal has proven particularly problematic for the opposition.

Osama Abo Zayd, a spokesman for the Syrian military factions at the Kazakhstan talks, said on Friday that it was “incomprehensible” for Iran to act as a guarantor of the deal.

“We can’t imagine Iran playing a role of peace,” Abo Zayd said.

Zirumuze Clinic: Eradicating diseases using natural medicine

{Zirumuze New Life Clinic, a herbal medicine and treatment facility, has made strides in using natural medicine to successfully treat and manage various diseases.}

Herbs constitute a major component of traditional and modern medicine. Rwanda’s development is founded on different pillars including the health sector that has modern and traditional medicine.

This complementarity between traditional and modern medicine is also reflected in the fact that the National Itorero Commission (NIC) considers practitioners from both for civic education to strengthen their values as they exercise the delivery of health services.

Fourteen years on the course of treating people with natural medicine from inside and outside the country, Samuel Nyakarundi, the Managing Director of Zirumuze Clinic, a researcher in natural medicine and public health officer, reveals to IGIHE that he has found out that well-practiced traditional medicine has a great bearing on human health.

He draws the conclusion from a number of people who have been treated successful by Zirumuze Clinic using natural medicine and healed of different ailments that had resisted modern medicine.

“Since we started, we have cured 90% of patients from Entamoeba Histolytica, using our natural medicine called Rubagantare (in local language). This medicine is in form of capsule and liquid. Patients who used it testify that Rubagantare cures amoeba and its effects,” said Nyakarundi.

While many people say that amoeba keeps reoccurring over some time even when it has been cured, Nyakarundi says that it is now seven years since they treated a good number of people from amoeba and it has never reoccurred as treated people testify.

Zirumuze Clinic has so far successfully treated hepatitis B and C at 60% and 65% respectively, blood pressure at 85%, epilepsies at 80%, sexual impotence with male and female at 90%. People with obesity have been cured at 75%, diabetes at 65%, prostate at 85%, kidney at 70%, stomachache at 80%, persistent headache at 75%, asthma at 70%, rheumatism at 75% and female genital diseases at 75%.

Nyakarundi explains that at least 9000 people have been cured from amoeba out of 10,000 who turned up to Zirumuze Clinic in the last 12 years. “We don’t just do a guess work, we do treat people and they attest to their recovery,” he said.

Nyakarundi says that Zirumuze Clinic employs only professionals who are able to explain to patients about the use of any medicine and its effects on their health.

World Vision commemorates, donates to elderly Genocide survivors

{Staff of World Vision-Rwanda have visited Kigali Genocide Memorial to pay tribute to victims of the 1994 Genocide against the Tutsi and donated foodstuffs to elderly Genocide survivors.}

During the commemoration event, yesterday, the group visited a community of elderly widows in AVEGA village, Kimironko Sector, Gasabo District, from where they held prayers together and provided the aged women with foodstuffs that will be used for the next three months, according to George Gitau, the Country Director of World Vision, Rwanda Programme.

The food items include; rice, beans, sugar and milk, among other general household supplies, were given to 10 families of widows who survived the Genocide.

From Kimironko, the World Vision delegation visited Kigali Genocide Memorial where they laid wreaths on mass graves in which over 250,000 victims are laid to rest, observed a minute of silence in tribute to over one million victims of the Genocide and toured the memorial, getting explanations of how the Genocide was planned, executed, devastation and recovery over the last 23 years.

“We have visited them today as our commemoration and remembrance of their families they lost in Genocide. World Vision has been supporting vulnerable communities in Rwanda for over 23 years now,” said Gitau.

Gitau urged the group to recommit to the real “Never Again” and pledged World Vision’s continued support to government for continued progress.

“Most of African countries need to visit this memorial to be able to understand what bad leadership can lead to and to be able to learn from our government to see what the country has achieved in the last 23 years, to be able to see that a country can come this far within such a short time,” he said.

World Vision is an international partnership of Christians whose ministry focuses on community-based development through interventions in health, economic empowerment, water, sanitation and hygiene, education and many other areas that a community needs to move forward. It is currently working in 18 districts countrywide.
