  • NHS urges people to avoid ‘extremely painful’ leg-lengthening surgery | NHS

    NHS urges people to avoid ‘extremely painful’ leg-lengthening surgery | NHS

    It is the ultimate eyebrow-raising kitchen table confession in Celine Song’s romantic comedy-drama, Materialists.

    After matchmaker Lucy (Dakota Johnson) grows suspicious of scars on her new partner’s body, financier Harry (Pedro Pascal) makes a startling admission: he has had leg-lengthening surgery – and gained six inches in height.

    The couple split soon after. But amid a wave of interest in the cosmetic procedure and clinics in Turkey offering discounts, the NHS in England has issued a stark warning, urging people against it.

    The surgery involves breaking the bones in the legs before pulling them apart to lengthen them over weeks or months.

    Invented by the Soviet surgeon Gavriil Abramovich Ilizarov in the 1950s, it was used to treat patients with clinical needs, but is now offered privately for cosmetic purposes.

    China’s health ministry banned cosmetic leg lengthening in 2006, over fears about the risks to patients, but the practice is booming elsewhere. The global limb-lengthening industry will be worth $8.6bn (£6.4bn) by 2030, according to estimates.

    Private treatment in the UK can cost more than £50,000, with some surgeons charging £240,000. Clinics in Turkey offer the procedure for £24,000.

    Limb-lengthening surgery involves two main steps. A surgeon performs an osteotomy, cutting the bone into two segments, and then attaches a limb lengthening device to the two segments. The device comprises a thin metal frame and is attached to the bones with pins or wires. Most of the device is outside the body, making it hard to wear certain clothes. Newer options involve a screw-like device placed inside the bone.

    Patients face a period of recovery and cannot walk for several weeks. Next, they begin adjusting their leg-lengthening device several times a day for several months. Each adjustment separates the bone segments a small amount. As the bones separate, the body creates new bone to fill the gap between them.

    However, if not done carefully, the risks are high. Bones separated too quickly will not mend or will grow together with tissue too fragile to bear the body’s weight.

    Some legs can end up being different lengths. Patients also risk infection, nerve damage and permanent disability.

    Prof Tim Briggs, an orthopaedic surgeon and NHS England’s national director for clinical improvement and elective recovery, said leg lengthening surgery was “not a quick fix”.

    “It is a serious, invasive procedure that can be beneficial for patients when there is a genuine clinical need but carries significant risks and requires informed discussions between patient and surgeon.

    “Patients face months of treatment, which can be extremely painful, with the possibility of infection, nerve damage, blood clots and even permanent disability.

    “Anyone considering this surgery for cosmetic reasons abroad, should think very carefully about the long recovery and the risks, and I would urge against it unless well informed about where they are seeking treatment.

    “Don’t gamble with your health or your life for a few extra inches without fully understanding the risks.”

  • Pill shows promise in lowering blood pressure, slowing kidney disease

    Pill shows promise in lowering blood pressure, slowing kidney disease

    A novel pill that blocks the hormone aldosterone shows promise for lowering blood pressure and potentially delaying the progression of kidney disease in people with both conditions.

    The preliminary findings were presented Saturday at an American Heart Association meeting in Baltimore and simultaneously published in the Journal of the American Society of Nephrology.

    The Phase 2 clinical trial, known as FigHTN, found that the new medication, baxdrostat, yielded a roughly 5% reduction in systolic blood pressure when given to patients with chronic kidney disease who were unable to control their high blood pressure with existing medications.

    Systolic blood pressure is the top number in a blood pressure reading. It measures pressure against your artery walls as the heart beats, according to the AHA.

    “These findings are encouraging for people living with chronic kidney disease and high blood pressure, two conditions that often go hand-in-hand and create a dangerous cycle,” said study leader Dr. Jamie Dwyer, a professor of medicine at University of Utah Health in Salt Lake City.

    Unmanaged blood pressure can worsen kidney function, and declining kidney function can, in turn, further elevate blood pressure, creating a challenging loop for patients, he explained.

    Reported previously in HealthDay News, the new drug also showed benefit in other patients with treatment-resistant high blood pressure when taken once a day for three months.

    In an additional analysis, researchers investigated the drug’s potential impact on kidney function directly.

    Participants taking baxdrostat had a 55% reduction in the amount of albumin lost in their urine compared to those on a placebo.

    High levels of albumin in urine are considered a predictor of heart and kidney disease.

    This discovery gives researchers hope for a longer-term benefit, according to Dwyer.

    “The reduction in urine albumin gives us hope that baxdrostat may also help delay kidney damage,” he said. He added that this potential is now being further evaluated in two large-scale Phase 3 trials.

    The FigHTN study included 195 participants with an average age of 66 who were already on existing blood pressure medication but still had a high average systolic blood pressure of 151 mm Hg.

    The participants also had a level of chronic kidney disease, but were not in kidney failure. For 26 weeks, they were given either a low-dose or high-dose of baxdrostat or a placebo in addition to their standard care.

    The most common side effect was elevated potassium levels in the blood, which occurred in 41% of those on the drug compared to just 5% in the placebo group, although most cases were mild to moderate, researchers noted.

    Dr. Jordana Cohen is deputy director and associate professor of medicine and epidemiology at UPenn’s Perelman School of Medicine and immediate past chair of the AHA’s Hypertension and Kidney Cardiovascular Science Committee.

    After reviewing the findings, she noted their importance for patients with kidney disease.

    “It is particularly reassuring to know that patients with chronic kidney disease, who have very high rates of hypertension and elevated renin-angiotensin aldosterone activity, were represented in their own study, tolerated the medication well, and had both blood pressure and albuminuric benefits,” she said in an AHA news release.

    “This medication class could be a game changer in the management of hypertension in this patient group,” Cohen said.

    The study was funded by AstraZeneca, developer of baxdrostat.

  • Banksy unveils a new mural of a judge beating a protester outside London court

    Banksy unveils a new mural of a judge beating a protester outside London court

    LONDON — A new mural by elusive street artist Banksy showing a judge beating an unarmed protester with a gavel has appeared outside a London court.

    The mural depicts a protester lying on the ground holding a blood-splattered placard while a judge in a traditional wig and black gown beats him with a gavel. Banksy posted a photo of the work Monday on Instagram, his usual method of claiming a work as authentic. It was captioned “Royal Courts Of Justice. London.”

    While the artwork does not refer to a particular cause or incident, activists saw it as a reference to the U.K. government’s ban on the group Palestine Action. On Saturday almost 900 people were arrested at a London protest challenging the ban.

    Defend Our Juries, the group that organized the protest, said in a statement that the mural “powerfully depicts the brutality unleashed” by the government ban. “When the law is used as a tool to crush civil liberties, it does not extinguish dissent, it strengthens it,” the statement said.

    Security officials outside the courthouse covered the mural Monday with sheets of black plastic and two metal barriers, and it was being guarded by two officers and a CCTV camera.

    Banksy began his career spray-painting buildings in Bristol, England, and has become one of the world’s best-known artists. His paintings and installations sell for millions of dollars at auction and have drawn thieves and vandals.

    Banksy’s work often comments on political issues, with many of his pieces criticizing government policy on migration and war.

    At the Glastonbury Festival last year, an inflatable raft holding dummies of migrants in life jackets was unveiled during a band’s headline set. Banksy appeared to claim the stunt, which was thought to symbolize small boat crossings of migrants in the Channel, in a post on Instagram.

    The artist has also taken his message on migration to Europe.

    In 2019, “The Migrant Child,” depicting a shipwrecked child holding a pink smoke bomb and wearing a life jacket, was unveiled in Venice. A year prior, a number of works including one near a former center for migrants that depicted a child spray-painting wallpaper over a swastika were discovered in Paris.

    Banksy has also created numerous artworks in the West Bank and Gaza Strip over the years, including one depicting a girl conducting a body search on an Israeli soldier, another showing a dove wearing a flak jacket, and a masked protester hurling a bouquet of flowers. He also designed the “Walled Off Hotel” guesthouse in Bethlehem, which closed in October 2023.

    Last summer, Banksy captured London’s attention with an animal-themed collection, which concluded with a mural of a gorilla appearing to hold up the entrance gate to London Zoo.

    For nine days straight Banksy-created creatures — from a mountain goat perched on a building buttress to piranhas circling a police guard post to a rhinoceros mounting a car — showed up in unlikely locations around the city.

It fills me with strength and courage.”Martin had always expressed his desire to be a father, and in 2008, he welcomed twin boys, Matteo and Valentino, via surrogacy.

  • Yuki Tsunoda frustrated by ‘very unnecessary’ contact with Liam Lawson as points finish slips away at Monza

    Yuki Tsunoda frustrated by ‘very unnecessary’ contact with Liam Lawson as points finish slips away at Monza

    Yuki Tsunoda was left to ponder what might have been at the Italian Grand Prix after his bid to make it back-to-back points finishes came undone via a collision with Liam Lawson.

    Lawson and Tsunoda found themselves sharing the same piece of track midway through Sunday’s race at Monza – the Racing Bulls driver having pitted early on a soft-hard tyre strategy and the Red Bull man stopping a few laps later on a medium-hard approach.

    Drama ensued heading into the Roggia chicane when Lawson attempted a move around the outside, only for his front-left tyre to make contact with the rear-right of Tsunoda’s – sending both drivers over the run-off area.

    While the position was returned to him, Tsunoda picked up significant damage on the floor of his car and could only work his way back to 13th by the chequered flag, which he took a couple of seconds up on Lawson.

    Reflecting on his race, and that incident, Tsunoda said: “The first stint was okay, and in the second stint I got distracted by a guy who was not even fighting for the points. I picked up so much damage, which was enough to make me slow down enough… to have bad pace.

    “It’s very frustrating, to be honest. I was fighting for points and… [it was] a very unnecessary move from Lawson. I don’t know what to say.”

    Asked if he will go and talk to Lawson, the Japanese racer added: “We know that he’s an aggressive driver, and I think it’s not a bad thing, but at the same time there’s always a line that we can’t step over and be beyond. Especially when we’re [under] the same [Red Bull family] roof.

    “Obviously with his position, it’s a seat that probably can be very high competition [to secure], more than anywhere else. At the same time, there’s always a line and there’s a respect, so it’s a shame.”

    Lawson then shared his side after going aggressive with his tyre strategy following a back-of-the grid start, brought on by the New Zealander’s mistake at the end of Q1.

    “We tried a gamble to make something out of it, and it just didn’t work,” he sighed. “I think it nearly worked, just a couple of cars came out around us, they were on fresh tyres, and we just lost a lot of time. It was tough from where we were starting.

    “[With Tsunoda], he passed me, I tried to pass him back, and he just squeezed me in the braking zone. We both went off, so I gave the position back, but… I was on the edge of the track, so it was close.”

  • French Paralympic stars and fans gather for Paralympic Day celebrations in Paris

    French Paralympic stars and fans gather for Paralympic Day celebrations in Paris

    One year after the Paris 2024 Paralympic Games, more than 10,000 people gathered in the French capital to celebrate Paralympic Day, meet French athletes, and discover more about Para sports. 

    The Paralympic Day celebrations, which took place at the Communale in Saint-Ouen, France, brought together many athletes and a large crowd, offering the opportunity to relive the emotions of the Games and share their experiences.  

     

    Meet the French stars

    Seventy French Paralympic athletes from summer and winter sports met their fans. The visitors played blind football with the French team that won gold at Paris 2024, discovered boccia from Paralympic champion Aurelie Aubert, and met Para triathlon star Alexis Hanquinquant, who captured his second Paralympic gold last year. 

    There were signing sessions and speeches by Paralympic stars throughout the day. The public also got to know French winter athletes, who are aiming to take the spotlight at the Milano Cortina 2026 Paralympic Winter Games, which open in less than six months.

    People with disabilities also tried out different Para sports thanks to a number of French federations that were present at the event.

    Marie-Amelie Le Fur, four-time Paralympian and president of NPC France, said: “Paralympic Day illustrates our commitment to making sport accessible to all, regardless of background or disability.

    “With the mobilisation of sports stakeholders, we reaffirm that Para sport must be visible, inclusive and open.”

    Music, dancing and celebration

    The third edition of the Paralympic Day in Paris ended with a large parade that brought together “Allez les Bleus” supporters, volunteers and musicians, before 2,500 people came to celebrate the athletes. This highlight symbolically passed the torch from athletes who competed at Paris 2024 to those who will represent France at Milano Cortina 2026.

    After the Communale was transformed into Club France, Paralympic athletes Arnaud Assoumani and Nelia Barbosa performed a DJ set, turning the event into a huge party. Renowned artists Paradoxe, Marie Jay and others also kept the dance floor alive.
