Monitor Heart Rate With A Camera Anywhere!

How would it feel to be able to monitor peoples heart rates with a camera even in public places like bus stops,banking halls,schools and churches without disrupting anything?

The possibilities are endless.

Meet Oxehealth, a startup that plans to turn any regular security camera into a health monitor. 

The British company wants to make it easier to monitor patients in a hospital, police station, psychiatric hospital or an assisted living residence. It’s a non-intrusive way to make sure that everybody is doing well. The startup is launching onstage at Disrupt London.

Nearly Killed By Patient's Relations



It was a day that remains etched in my memory and even though it’s been many years now since it happened, I still recall clearly the terror and fear that ran through the cool atmosphere of that evening as they roared in anger. 

It was just one event captured in a certain place which depicts the risks that nurses and medics face everyday in the discharge of their duties.

Countless remain unknown because they are unreported.

What actually happened?

Would YOU ,yes YOU that are reading this now would have been so eager to know about her and what good works she was doing? Some porn-hungry folks are seriously searching for the video to watch just to satisfy their desire and they are here condemning

Pauline Cafferkey, the nurse who contracted Ebola in west Africa, has tested negative for the virus.
She was rushed to Queen Elizabeth University Hospital in Glasgow in an ambulance with a police escort from her home in Cambuslang on Thursday morning.

In a statement the hospital said: "We are pleased to report that tests for the Ebola virus are negative. She remains in a stable condition."

The hospital has stressed that there is no risk to the public. 
Ms Cafferkey, aged 40, was infected with the virus while working in Sierra Leone for Save The Children in 2014.

She has previously been admitted to hospital three times following her return to the UK.
The children's nurse was cleared last month of professional misconduct, after she was accused of concealing her high temperature when she returned from West Africa.

And it said she damaged trust in the nursing profession.

Woman Hides Recorder in Her Hair During Surgery, Catches Doctor Body-Shaming Her

A woman who says she was body-shamed by doctors and nurses while on the operating table — and that she has an audio file, from a recorder hidden in her weave, to prove it — is speaking out about the “physical, mental, and emotional scars” it has caused her.

“When you are lying there and these people have you uncovered and you trust them and they speak like this, it’s a bad situation,” Ethel Easter, of Houston, tells Yahoo Beauty through tears about her experience at Lyndon B. Johnson Hospital in Houston, where she had hernia surgery in August to help correct a severe case of acid reflux.

 “It’s given me self-esteem issues.”

Belgian Police Discover More Explosives and Identify Bombers

Several suspects are still on the run

The effects of the Brussels bomb blast isn't settling soon as more information keep coming out each moment.

With Belgians reeling in shock from Tuesday’s deadly suicide bombings in the capital Brussels, officials said several suspects were still the run, and that they were far from cracking the jihadist network behind the attacks. 

“There are still a number of people possibly involved, remaining, who have not been arrested and who still pose a danger,” Paul van Tigchelt, director of the government’s Center for Analysis of Threats, told reporters on Wednesday. “Police and intelligence services are working with all their might on the basis of information from yesterday and today.”

Nigeria Army Said To Have Rescued Nearly 300 Girls, Women From Boko Haram

Above is a screen capture of the tweeter page of the Nigerian army defense headquarters announcing the rescue of about 200 girls and 93 women.This is pretty good news for every person of goodwill and it means a lot for Nigerians,for their communities and their families.Kudos to our military no matter what has happened.

None of the 200 schoolgirls kidnapped near the village of Chibok last year are believed to be among those rescued, according to Aljazeera.

Nigeria's army said Tuesday it has rescued 200 girls and 93 women during a military operation to wrest back the Sambisa Forest from the Boko Haram armed group.

"Troops this afternoon rescued 200 girls and 93 women from Sambisa Forest," the army said on its Twitter account.

 A spokesman later told Reuters that those rescued did not include any "Chibok girls," a reference to the more than 200 schoolgirls kidnapped from the town of Chibok in northeast Nigeria in April 2014. That incident sparked an international outcry over the horrific violence unleashed by the group for years with little response by government.

The army also said Nigerian troops had destroyed three camps run by Boko Haram fighters there.
In April 2014, shortly after the schoolgirls from Chibok were abducted, an army spokesman claimed it had rescued most of the girls and only eight were still missing. The report was disputed by the school's principal and was proven to be false.


Nigerian forces backed by warplanes invaded the vast former colonial game reserve late last week as part of a push to win back territory from the group.


The group, notorious for violence against civilians, controlled an area roughly the size of Belgium at the start of the year but has since been beaten back by Nigerian troops, backed by Chad, Niger and Cameroon.

5 Nursing Students Killed in Georgia Interstate Wreck

Five nursing students died Wednesday in a chain-reaction crash that began when a tractor-trailer failed to slow down and smashed into stop-and-go traffic, Georgia authorities said.
The tractor-trailer plowed into an SUV and then rolled over a small passenger car that burst into flames, Sgt. 1st Class Chris Nease of the Georgia State Patrol said. The big truck came to a halt after ramming the back of a tanker. Those killed were traveling on Interstate 16 near Savannah in two passenger vehicles. The cars were mangled by the crash.
All five of the victims were nursing students at Georgia Southern University. St. Joseph’s/Candler Health System said the students were commuting to the hospital for their last clinical training of the year.
"The loss of any student, especially in a tragic way, is particularly painful," Brooks Keel, president of Georgia Southern, said in a statement. "Losing five students is almost incomprehensible."

You Can Charge Your Phone With Urine!

"Urine-tricity"


Ha!I know you would be wondering what i am talking about this morning.well let me tell you that everything is possible or is becoming possible now with the continuous improvement and research into ways of making life easier for man.

The only thing that is impossible and very much unlikely yet is how to prevent death or how to bring back the dead.Of course certain diseases still cant be cured or prevented and that points to a higher being in charge of everything.

Waste not, want not, the saying goes, and researchers at the Bristol Robotics Laboratory are turning something we all produce – urine – into clean electricity, or 'urine-tricity'.
It sounds outlandish, but earlier this year, at the Reinvent the Toilet Fair in New Delhi, India – co-hosted by the Indian Department of Biotechnology and the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation – the team exhibited a functional urinal that was able to charge a phone using just urine, a world first. 

One Billion Young At Risk Of Hearing Loss--WHO

The World Health organization WHO has warned that about one billion young people are at risk of developing hearing loss due to listening to loud music.

More than one billion young people risk damaging their hearing through listening to loud music, the World Health Organization (WHO) said on Friday.
 
The WHO estimates that around half of those between the ages of 12 and 35 in middle- and high-income countries are at risk due to unsafe levels of sound on personal audio devices or smartphones.
Another 40 percent are at risk from damaging audio levels at concert venues and night clubs.
“More and more young people are exposed to unsafe levels of sounds. Young people should be aware that once you lose your hearing, it won’t come back,” said Shelley Chadha, a WHO specialist on hearing impairment.
