Kenyan Boy's Hand Re-attached By Doctors After It was Cut Off[Photos]

-
A 17 year old boy, Joseph Theuri from Kiambaa- Kiambu County in Kenya has been given a reason to smile after his severed limb was successfully re-implanted. The teenage boy had his limb accidentally severed by a Chaff Cutter machine.

The boy was referred to Kenyatta National Hospital where the medical intervention immediately commenced by a multidisciplinary team of fifteen (15) specialists and Mr. Theuri’s hand was re-implanted in a highly delicate surgery that lasted over 7 hours.

Prof. Stanley Khainga and Dr. Ferdinand Nang’ole led the team of specialists including Plastic Surgeons, anesthetists, orthopedic surgeons and Nursing to realize the historical achievement.

“Two teams were constituted with one team preparing the hand and the other team working on the stump. This was very important as we were racing against time” Said Dr. Nang’ole.

JAMB Not Ready To Extend UTME Validity Beyond One Year As gaining admission into tertiary institutions in the country becomes an arduous task, data obtained from some schools around the country by The Guardian, sharply contradicts claims by the Joint Admission and Matriculations that over 75 per cent of the total number of qualified candidates that applied for admission were admitted into institutions of their choice for the 2017/2018 academic session. In fact, figures from only seven schools sampled by The Guardian, indicated that 46, 950 candidates (barely 20 per cent) were admitted from a pool of 244, 000, who were successful in the post Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (POST-UTME).

10. Cape Buffalo Cape Buffalo, which number around 900,000 and are found in sub-Saharan Africa, are a relatively mild species when left alone, preferring to travel in massive herds to graze in early morning and late afternoon hours or to gather around watering holes to stay hydrated. However, if an individual (or its calf) is threatened or wounded, they become the incarnation of their nickname: Black Death. Reportedly responsible for killing more hunters on the continent than any other creature, these behemoths, which can grow up to nearly six feet tall and weigh close to a ton, circle and stalk their prey before charging at speeds of up to 35 miles per hour. They’re even known to continue charging no matter where they’re injured, and will not hesitate to attack moving vehicles. You don’t want to mess with those horns. 9.

Paris Saint-Germain made Neymar the most expensive footballer of all time last summer because they believed he could inspire them to glory in Europe. The French club’s owners are desperate to win the Champions League for the first time, but their £200 million signing flattered to deceive in their biggest match of the season on Wednesday night. Neymar was unable to prevent PSG slumping to a 3-1 defeat against Real Madrid at the Bernabeu, with Cristiano Ronaldo scoring either side of half-time and Marcelo adding a late third for the hosts. PSG now face an uphill battle to seal their place in the quarter-finals. In order to stand any chance of reaching the last eight, Neymar will need to be on top of his game. In all honesty, the Brazilian is fortunate that he’ll be allowed to participate in the second leg. Already on a yellow card from the first half, Neymar avoided another booking in the second half for a blatant dive. Referee Gianluca Rocchi gave him the benefit of the doubt, much t...
