Women urged to seek medical assistance early to avoid losing breast to cancer

Women urged to seek medical assistance early to avoid losing breast to cancer

Ghana News, Health & Wellbeing
The President of Breast Care International (BCI) has urged women to visit the hospital early to avoid losing their breasts. According to Dr. Beatrice Wiafe-Addai, many women avoid hospitals because of fear of losing their breasts, a scenario she sees as appalling. “A lot of women run away from the hospital because of Mastectomy, they don’t want to lose the breast we understand, so if you don’t want to lose the breast you have to come early to the hospital,” she urged. At a breast cancer screening program at the Assemblies of God Church, Dr. Wiafe-Addai encouraged women to take self-breast examination seriously, because the death rate is still on the rise. She urged the media, religious leaders, and opinion leaders to help lessen the high level of stigma in Ghanaian communit...
Instagram owner Meta to launch Twitter rival on Thursday

Instagram owner Meta to launch Twitter rival on Thursday

International, Science & Technology
Facebook owner Meta is launching its new app to rival Twitter and says it will go live on Thursday. The app, which is called Threads and is available for pre-order on the Apple App Store, will be linked to Instagram. Screengrabs show a dashboard that looks similar to Twitter. Meta describes Threads as a “text based conversation app”. The move is the latest in a rivalry between Meta boss Mark Zuckerberg and Twitter owner Elon Musk. Last month, the pair agreed to a physical fight, though it is unclear how serious the two men were about actually holding a bout. “Thank goodness they’re so sanely run”, Mr Musk responded to a tweet about Threads, in an apparent fresh swipe at Mr Zuckerberg. Meanwhile, Twitter has said that the popular user dashboard, TweetDeck will go behi...

Here are the top 10 emerging technologies for 2023, according to the World Economic Forum

International, Science & Technology
The World Economic Forum (WEF) has released its annual report on the top ten emerging technologies for 2023. This report, which has been published since 2011, aims to identify technologies that have the potential to transform economies and societies. The WEF gathers input from academics, industry leaders and futurists to compile this list, providing valuable insights into the technologies that could shape our future. Over the years, the WEF’s report has accurately predicted the impact of various emerging technologies. For instance, in 2015, the report highlighted CRISPR-Cas9, a genetic-engineering tool that went on to win the Nobel Prize and is now being used for creating insect and drought-resistant crops. Similarly, in 2017, the report featured messenger Ribonucleic Acid (mRN...

The science behind Yoga; benefits to immunity and quality of life

Health & Wellbeing, International
Yoga has evolved to become one of the most commonly used complementary and alternative health practices in the world. Today, Yoga is even more popular than chiropractic adjustments, osteopathic manipulations, meditation, herbal treatments and massage therapy. A 2012 article in the New York Times authored by William J. Broad, created a controversy on Yoga suggesting that some people get seriously injured, or even die, on their Yoga mats.  How true is this? Our extensive review of literature revealed that the article by William Broad, adapted from the book The Science of Yoga: The Risks and Rewards, which suggested that Yoga caused widespread harm to its practitioners; from ruptured disks to stroke to brain injury, was largely based on selected anecdotes.  That sa...

ABIDJAN TO HOST 45TH CAF GENERAL ASSEMBLY ON JULY 13

International, Pent TV, Sports
The Confederation of African Football (CAF) has settled on Cote D’Ivoire as the host country for the 45th CAF General Assembly. The Assembly which was originally scheduled for Benin will now take place in Abidjan due to unavailability of venue in Cotonou following a recent visit by CAF General Secretary Veron Mosengo-Omba. The process of identifying a new venue took into account the statement by President Dr. Patrice Motsepe that ‘’the hosting of CAF competitions and events should be rotated and held in all the 6 CAF Zones without compromising the quality and the world-class infrastructure and facilities in which CAF competitions and events should take place’’. After assessing the hotels, infrastructure and facilities of some of the proposed venues, the CAF Secretariat settled o...
