🗣️ Speed: “WHAT?? I’m way faster than you. You’ve only got 80 pace on FIFA.”

🗣️ Ibrahimović: “You know what? Maybe you are faster than me, but I think much faster than you.”

🗣️ Speed: “That has nothing to do with speed.”

🗣️ Ibrahimović: “You can’t understand because you don’t understand the game. Titi, explain it to him... I don’t make fast runs, I make intelligent runs.”

Classic Ibra. 😂😂

[WHO Regional Office for the Eastern Mediterranean @WHOEMRO]

It’s #WorldNoTobaccoDay

Globally, e-cigarette use by teens is 9 times that of adults.

E-cigarette use has hit alarming levels among adolescents in the Eastern Mediterranean Region, particularly young boys, reaching over 30% in some areas.

The tobacco and nicotine industry systematically targets young people to sustain addiction in a new generation. A large proportion of the Eastern Mediterranean Region’s population is under 30. They are vulnerable to:

🚭the rapid rise of new, flavoured products with packaging designed to appeal to young people
🚭persistent industry use of aggressive digital marketing and social media promotion
🚭weak regulation and enforcement gaps

Protecting the Regionʼs young population is critical to preventing the next wave of tobacco-related disease.
Countries should, for all tobacco and nicotine products:

🔵Enforce comprehensive bans on advertising, promotion and sponsorship
🔵Strengthen graphic health warnings
🔵Increase taxes and prices
🔵Ensure regulations are in place, including for e-cigarettes, heated tobacco and nicotine pouches
🔵Counter industry tactics, especially in digital and retail environments

Neurosurgeon removes live 8cm long worm from woman’s brain!!

Scientists last month published an unprecedented case, where they found and extracted a live parasitic worm from the brain of a 64-year-old Australian woman.
The neurosurgeon found and removed the parasite with forceps during a biopsy, from within the lesion shown on the MRI (light gray area).

“I used tumor-holding forceps and lifted out something that I definitely was not expecting: a linear, squiggling line, and my junior doctor said, ‘is that an artery?’, because that’s what it looked like. And I said, ‘it’s not an artery, we’re nowhere near any artery!’ And I noticed it was moving and I went, ‘just get it out of my forceps!’ So we rapidly put it in a pathology pot, and it was a vigorously wriggling worm.”

Symptomatically, weeks of abdominal pain and diarrhea led to night sweats and a dry cough, but evolved towards problems like forgetfulness and depression, presumably as the worm׳s activities kept affecting different parts of the brain.

The worm was some 8 centimeters (just over 3 inches) long and is a rare parasite called Ophidascaris Robertsi. This is a type of Roundworm (Helminth). This roundworm usually lives in a Carpet Python. The eggs of the worm are around the snakes’ faecal droppings, which infect the grass. This grass containing the eggs, are eaten by small mammals, who are then eaten by the Carpet Python. This is how this worm gets cycled between its two hosts. This woman became an ‘accidental host’. She lived near the carpet python habitat and while foraging the native vegetation for cooking, she ingested the worm eggs. The worm developed in her intestine and travelled via blood circulation to her brain.

In response, the body produces inflammation around the worm and as a result, an area of inflammatory tissue or granuloma develops in the brain. Depending upon the affected location, it can cause a multitude of symptoms such as pressure symptoms - headache, vomiting, visual blurring, confusion, altered sensorium, cognitive symptoms - forgetfulness, problems in understanding, calculations, disorientation, seizures and epilepsy - due to irritation of the brain by inflammatory tissue.

@barackoblue Yeah I know

[Airborne @barackoblue]

@elaunireMD But you should know this is not about int med as a specialty, but a function of our health care system,accessibility and cost of care that contributes to all this mortality.
