  • Desperate Puppy Struck with “Worst Ever” Case skin disease<br />
<br />
Officials at the MSPCA-Angell in Boston have called the skin disease plaguing a homeless puppy the worst they have ever seen and are determined to do everything possible to cure the four-month -old canine before placing her into a loving home<br />
 <br />
Fortunately, the four-month-old bulldog-mix is benefitting from a revolutionary treatment administered by Dr. Klaus Loft of the dermatology service at the MSPCA’s Angell Animal Medical Center—a treatment that is harnessing the power of her own immune system to heal her disease.<br />
 <br />
Found on the Street <br />
Sheba was found outside in the Boston neighborhood of Dorchester on Feb. 22 and transferred to the MSPCA after a veterinarian at Boston’s Animal Care and Control facility performed an initial assessment.<br />
 <br />
Andrea Bessler, a veterinary technician in the clinic that abuts the adoption center, was shocked at her appearance.  “In my nearly 11 years of practice I’ve never seen a case of mange this severe—she literally had no fur and was covered in oozing, open wounds,” she said.<br />
 <br />
Sheba is suffering from Demodectic Mange, an infection caused by tiny, cigar-shaped egg-laying mites.  The mites reside and feed on the hair follicles and oil glands of the skin causing hair loss, severe pain and itching and—when left untreated—open, infected wounds.  The disease is not contagious and no other animals at the adoption center are at risk.<br />
 <br />
Breakthrough Medical Treatment<br />
Dr. Loft has been treating Sheba for several weeks with a medication called Cytopoint, which he describes as the “holy grail” for the treatment of severe skin infections.  “Essentially, the drug creates an artificial antibody that turns off the intense ‘itch signal,’ preventing Sheba from further injuring herself through constant scratching.”<br />
 <br />
Sheba is also receiving antibiotics, medicated baths and pain medicine and, according to Bessler, is beginning to turn the corner.  “The wor

The 3 Wishes : A Father’s Race against Time <br />
<br />
Nihal Bitla is a 14 years old boy, with bright eyes & child like innocence,  but has the body of an elderly man, with wrinkled leathery skin, a bald enlarged head, and withered limbs.<br />
<br />
Nihal, who lives on the outskirts of Mumbai, India, suffers from a rare genetic disorder called Hutchinson-Gilford  Progeria Syndrome, which causes him to age eight times faster than normal.<br />
<br />
<br />
“I ignore it now if people stare at me because of the way I look,” says Nihal, who stopped going to school five years ago because he was being teased about his condition by his classmates.<br />
<br />
<br />
Nihal doesn’t like the 2009 Bollywood movie ‘Paa’ so much. While he was always the odd boy out because of the way he looked, school life became all the more difficult for him after ‘Paa’ released. The movie had Bollywood superstar Amitabh Bachchan play a progeria patient, named Auro. Nihal’s fellow students began teasing & calling him Auro. Tired of his friends’ barbs, he  stopped going to school . The last straw was when a fellow student told him he too would suffer a heart attack like Auro did in the movie. Repeated attempts by teachers, who felt he was a bright student, to get him back to class failed. Some of his friends tried too, but Nihal didn’t budge. Now he stays home on most days, rarely ever stepping out of the house and spends all his time either painting or surfing the net.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
His father, Srinivas, who owns a small mobile phone repair shop, says that Nihal was the first person in India to be discovered with Hutchinson-Gilford progeria syndrome, the most severe form of progeria.<br />
<br />
Most children with the disorder only live until the age of 14, with heart attacks and strokes being the common causes of death.<br />
<br />
<br />
Progeria is believed to have inspired the story by F. Scott Fitzgerald, The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, which was the basis for a film starring Brad Pitt, about a character born as an elderly

<br />
Nihal, who lives on the outskirts of Mumbai, India, suffers from a rare genetic disorder called Hutchinson-Gilford  Progeria Syndrome, which causes him to age eight times faster than normal.<br />
<br />
<br />
“I ignore it now if people stare at me because of the way I look,” says Nihal, who stopped going to school five years ago because he was being teased about his condition by his classmates.<br />
<br />
<br />
Nihal doesn’t like the 2009 Bollywood movie ‘Paa’ so much. While he was always the odd boy out because of the way he looked, school life became all the more difficult for him after ‘Paa’ released. The movie had Bollywood superstar Amitabh Bachchan play a progeria patient, named Auro. Nihal’s fellow students began teasing & calling him Auro. Tired of his friends’ barbs, he  stopped going to school . The last straw was when a fellow student told him he too would suffer a heart attack like Auro did in the movie. Repeated attempts by teachers, who felt he was a bright student, to get him back to class failed. Some of his friends tried too, but Nihal didn’t budge. Now he stays home on most days, rarely ever stepping out of the house and spends all his time either painting or surfing the net.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
His father, Srinivas, who owns a small mobile phone repair shop, says that Nihal was the first person in India to be discovered with Hutchinson-Gilford progeria syndrome, the most severe form of progeria.<br />
<br />
Most children with the disorder only live until the age of 14, with heart attacks and strokes being the common causes of death.<br />
<br />
<br />
Progeria is believed to have inspired the story by F. Scott Fitzgerald, The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, which was the basis for a film starring Brad Pitt, about a character born as an elderly

“I ignore it now if people stare at me because of the way I look,” says Nihal, who stopped going to school five years ago because he was being teased about his condition by his classmates.<br />
<br />
<br />
Nihal doesn’t like the 2009 Bollywood movie ‘Paa’ so much. While he was always the odd boy out because of the way he looked, school life became all the more difficult for him after ‘Paa’ released. The movie had Bollywood superstar Amitabh Bachchan play a progeria patient, named Auro. Nihal’s fellow students began teasing & calling him Auro. Tired of his friends’ barbs, he  stopped going to school . The last straw was when a fellow student told him he too would suffer a heart attack like Auro did in the movie. Repeated attempts by teachers, who felt he was a bright student, to get him back to class failed. Some of his friends tried too, but Nihal didn’t budge. Now he stays home on most days, rarely ever stepping out of the house and spends all his time either painting or surfing the net.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
His father, Srinivas, who owns a small mobile phone repair shop, says that Nihal was the first person in India to be discovered with Hutchinson-Gilford progeria syndrome, the most severe form of progeria.<br />
<br />
Most children with the disorder only live until the age of 14, with heart attacks and strokes being the common causes of death.<br />
<br />
<br />
Progeria is believed to have inspired the story by F. Scott Fitzgerald, The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, which was the basis for a film starring Brad Pitt, about a character born as an elderly

The movie had Bollywood superstar Amitabh Bachchan play a progeria patient, named Auro. Nihal’s fellow students began teasing & calling him Auro. Tired of his friends’ barbs, he  stopped going to school . The last straw was when a fellow student told him he too would suffer a heart attack like Auro did in the movie. Repeated attempts by teachers, who felt he was a bright student, to get him back to class failed. Some of his friends tried too, but Nihal didn’t budge. Now he stays home on most days, rarely ever stepping out of the house and spends all his time either painting or surfing the net.<br />

<br />
His father, Srinivas, who owns a small mobile phone repair shop, says that Nihal was the first person in India to be discovered with Hutchinson-Gilford progeria syndrome, the most severe form of progeria.<br />
<br />
Most children with the disorder only live until the age of 14, with heart attacks and strokes being the common causes of death.<br />
<br />
<br />
Progeria is believed to have inspired the story by F. Scott Fitzgerald, The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, which was the basis for a film starring Brad Pitt, about a character born as an elderly

Nihal Bitla is a 14 years old boy, with bright eyes & child like innocence,  but has the body of an elderly man, with wrinkled leathery skin, a bald enlarged head, and withered limbs.<br />
<br />
Nihal, who lives on the outskirts of Mumbai, India, suffers from a rare genetic disorder called Hutchinson-Gilford  Progeria Syndrome, which causes him to age eight times faster than normal.<br />
<br />
<br />
“I ignore it now if people stare at me because of the way I look,” says Nihal, who stopped going to school five years ago because he was being teased about his condition by his classmates.<br />

Tens of thousands of HIV positive prostitutes in the slums of Lagos to ensure a rapid spread of the epidemic.<br />
<br />
"If you arrive by car, you can smell the HIV virus outside," joked my driver as we are on track to Badia a criminal slums of Lagos. Badia is a corruption of "Bad Area". Nigerians have a lack of everything, except black humor.<br />
<br />
The poor West African country Nigeria, with a population of 140 million people, after India and South Africa the highest number of people with HIV / AIDS. Since the beginning of the epidemic in 2000 is estimated to have 800,000 people died in Nigeria. But the worst is yet to come: within 5 years in Nigeria 5 million people die of AIDS. In 2015 there are 10 million.<br />
<br />
In the capital Lagos, the situation is acute: 1.2 million people are infected with the HIV virus - in the Netherlands compared with the population of Amsterdam would be infected.<br />
<br />
Two to five dollars<br />
Badia is one of the thousands of slums in Lagos, where both sides of the railroad verzakte prostitutes in small pens getimmerde display of old boards and rusty corrugated life. Women as young as 14 years, working to survive. They count from 2 to 5 per customer. How younger and prettier the girl, how expensive it is. The men visit prostitutes as if they walk in the bakery. Within 5 minutes they're out, the pants still dichtritsend. A hooker in Badia receives about 5 clients per day.<br />
<br />
Many still do not have money for the girls. Some 10 per day to rent for a room tendon and the salary of a square-built bouncer.<br />
<br />
Expats<br />
The youngest and hottest girls live in Badia, but outside the district. When the sun goes down in Lagos massive music concerns and beer bars are open, these girls in the suburbs in search of the white 'expat-man', often too fat and ugly, but with money. These girls have only one customer per night required for 50 to 100 euro it will go to his house or hotel.<br />

Within 5 minutes they're out, the pants still dichtritsend. A hooker in Badia receives about 5 clients per day.<br />

Many still do not have money for the girls. Some 10 per day to rent for a room tendon and the salary of a square-built bouncer.<br />
