Experts who spoke to Vanguard said: “Doctors don’t know for
certain who will survive Ebola, and there is no specific treatment or
cure for the disease. But studies suggest there are some biological
markers linked with a higher chance of surviving Ebola.”
One Bioinformatics researcher at Lancaster University in the United
Kingdom, Derek Gatherer who majored in viral genetics and evolution
said: “when a person becomes infected with Ebola, the virus depletes the body’s immune cells, which defend against infection.
“In particular, the Ebola virus depletes immune cells called CD4
and CD8 T lymphocytes, which are crucial to the function of the immune
system”, Gatherer noted, arguing that “if a person’s immune system can
stand up to this initial attack — meaning their immune cells are not as
depleted in the first stages of infection — then they are more likely to
survive the disease.
“The patients that survive it best are the ones who don’t get
such a bad immune deficiency. But if the body is not able to fend off
this attack, then the immune system becomes less able to regulate
itself”, Gatherer said.
Markers
Another indication of a person chance of surviving the deadly curse
Ebola is said to be a gene called the human leukocyte antigen-B, this is
responsible for the creation of protein in the immune system.
One study done in 2007 says revealed that this gene named B*07 and
B*14, were more likely to survive Ebola, while people with other
versions, called B*67 and B*15, were more likely to die.
The study also said that if one has a mutation in a gene called NPC1,
they could be resistant to the virus. Studies proved that, when
researchers take cells from people with the NPC1 mutation and try to
infect them with Ebola in a laboratory dish, these cells are resistant
to the virus.
In a recent survey the World Health Organization has said that
the recent ebola outbreak has claimed the lives of 1,145 globally and is
now the worst ever outbreak.
WHO confirmed that in the last two day, 152 new cases of the deadly
hemorrhagic fever were reported in the two day period in Guinea,
Liberia, Nigeria and Sierra Leone, bringing the total number of infected
to 2,127.

Church of Satan Opened in Ukraine - Photos
The Church of Satan is headed by the Kiev resident Sergey Neboga
The first in Ukraine and in the whole post-Soviet territory religious community of the devil worshippers is called Bozhichi. The Church of Satan is headed by the Kiev resident Sergey Neboga.During the opening ceremony local journalists witnessed night service, sacrifice and prayer. It is supposed that there will be everyday services, religious events such as black marriages, consecrations, dechristening.
There is a small candle workshop, a workshop for making hell icons, a rite fireplace, a bath-house, buildings for organization of everyday life, adjoining farm and so on. It is noteworthy that a religious community is even officially registered as a legal entity in the State Register of Ukraine.
The Church of Satan is a religious organization dedicated to the philosophy of LaVeyan Satanism as codified in The Satanic Bible. The Church of Satan states that there are a number of Satanists around the world, including both members and non-members.
It often rejects the legitimacy of any other organizations of Satanists, dubbing them reverse-Christians, pseudo-Satanists or Devil worshipers. Today, the Church of Satan promotes itself as the only authentic representation of Satanism, and it routinely publishes materials underscoring this contention.
Ebola:Dr. Adadevoh Is Not Cured, Another Medical Officer Discharged
The
first case of survival from the deadly Ebola virus decease (EVD) on the
Nigerian territory has been indeed registered in the late hours of
August 16, 2014, Saturday.
However, not Dr. Ameyo Stella Adadevoh, but another female medical worker has been discharged.
According to a new statement by the Ministry of Health, Dr. Adadevoh, in fact, has not been discharged.
Instead of her, a nurse, whose name was simply given as Ada, has reportedly recovered and left home on August 17, 2014, Sunday. The details are not given in order not to seed panic in communities, and for security reasons also. All what is known is that the lady is a medical officer at the same hospital, where Liberian-American Patrick Sawyer, who imported the EVD to Nigeria, passed away on July 25.
The sad aspect of this story is that Dr. Adadevoh’s condition is actually not improving. According to a family source, who spoke with SaharaReporters, the treatment she received has not positive effect. The source also confirmed that Dr. Adadevoh is suffering in the isolation centre.
It would be noted that Dr. Adadevoh was the first Nigerian to be diagnosed with EVD. The doctor, as well as other people whose cases have been confirmed gained lots of support and triggered a campaign on social media – #GiveThemExperimentalDrugs
At the moment of filing the present report, there is no confirmation neither on delivery, nor on commencement of the treatment with ZMapp experimental drug.
Below, read a statement (unedited) which became available to the press:
It has been brought to the attention of the Honourable Minister of Health, Professor Onyebunchi Chukwu, that the first Nigerian to be diagnosed of Ebola Virus Disease, a female doctor who treated the index case and who was discharged home from the ward yesterday, is being reported in some sections of the media to be one Dr. Adadevoh.
The Honourable Minister wished to clarify that the name of the patient is not Dr. Adadevoh. This should be noted.
The minister’s statement yesterday, while indicating that it was a female doctor, did not indicate the name of the patient.

Evil: Robbers Rape Nursing Mother To Coma
According Sunday Sun,tears flowed freely as people beheld the pathetic sight of a
middle-aged nursing mother whose three-month old baby was thrown into the bush
while an eight-man gang of devilish souls raped her to a point of
unconsciousness right in the presence of her husband.
The woman (names with held) who had bruises all over her
body especially in the waist region could barely stand unaided when she was
sighted at the headquarters of the Kogi State Police Command.
Sunday Sun gathered that the suspects waylaid the couple on their
way to the village, and dispossessed the husband and wife of their cash and
valuables at gunpoint. Then they took them in the family car to a nearby bush
where they tied the husband and raped the wife who was at that time breast
feeding her three-month-old baby.
It was learnt that one of the armed robbers on getting to
the bush slapped the wife and forcibly took the baby away from her hands and
threw the baby aside. He pointed a gun to her head and ordered her to undress.
For more than two hours, the eight robbers, one after the
other, thereafter engaged the poor woman in a marathon sex while the husband
watched helplessly and the innocent baby cried profusely.
Parading the suspects before newsmen, the Acting
Commissioner of Police, Mr Abiodun Odude said the family was travelling from
Ogugu in Olamaboro Local Government Area, Kogi State to Iga-Ikeje when the
robbers accosted them.
Odude said the victim (names withheld) a native of Ogugu
reported at the Olamaboro Police Division stated that he was travelling in
his Toyota Corolla car with his wife and baby when suddenly some eight armed
robbers accosted them, dispossessing them of their car, N6600 cash and mobile
phone sets.
The alleged robbers then bundled them into the vehicle and
drove them inside the bush about two kilometres from the road, where the man
was tied to a tree prior to raping the wife. Giving further explanation of what
transpired, he said the wife who was oblivious of their plan as she was crying
and begging them not to kill her husband. This prompted one of the robbers to
give her a vicious slap, took the baby away and ordered her to undress, while
pointing a gun to her head.
He said the woman fainted after the ordeal.
Done with their evil business, they sons-of-the devil tied
up the woman’s legs and drove away in the car.
After about 40 minutes, the woman regained consciousness,
struggled to free herself and walked to a nearby village, where she informed a
group of vigilantes, who later rescued the husband.
On receiving the report, a police patrol team led by Mr.
Mbang Eteng, an Assistant Superintendent of Police tracked down and arrested
two of the robbers, whose names were given as Vincent Oguche from an
uncompleted building, and Femi Simon, who attempted to run away, but was
overpowered by policemen and both of them taken into custody.
The police said the two suspects in the course of
interrogation confessed to the crime and thereafter led the detectives to
their hideout, where the stolen car, assorted guns and handsets were recovered.
The names of two other members of the gang were given as Friday Oguche and Joe
Agbo. The police are still on the trail of the remaining four members who are
still at large.
Vincent Oguche while acknowledging that he and the others
actually committed the heinous crime, explained why they raped the woman
despite that she was nursing a baby, saying: “We were not in our right sense
because we were very high on drugs.”
Femi Simon who claimed to be a native of Iyah Gbede in Ijumu
Local Government Area of the state said he was an unemployed driver who was
conscripted into the deal. He said he could not control his libido when he saw
his comrades-in-crime ‘enjoying themselves’ so he had to join them to have a
taste of the woman.
Beyonce, Jay Z and Blue Ivy Race Go Karts, Defy Divorce Rumors Again
Beyonce posted adorable photos of herself, husband Jay Z and daughter
Blue Ivy at a kart racing facility on Friday, once again defying recent
divorce rumors.
Someone is trying much, much too hard here.
We're not sure if that would be the star, in an attempt to convince us all is well with her marriage, or tabloids wanting to convince us it's not ... but someone is.
Someone is trying much, much too hard here.
We're not sure if that would be the star, in an attempt to convince us all is well with her marriage, or tabloids wanting to convince us it's not ... but someone is.
In one adorable snapshot from the go kart track, Jay Z, 44, held hands
with the duo's 2-year-old daughter as they walked around the indoor
racing spot.
Blue wore a white dress and accessorized with pink sandals, while
Beyonce clearly took first place (as evidenced by another fun photo she
shared)
Is life really all fun and games for them lately, though?
The power couple's relationship behind closed doors, if you believe the
tabloids, is pretty much the polar opposite of this pleasant family
outing.
Just yesterday, a report suggested Beyonce "is done" with Jay Z and their six-year marriage as soon as they finish their final On the Run tour dates.
They also allegedly "stayed separately" while in New York and L.A. and Bey is looking for apartments solo in NYC, gearing up to leave the rapper ASAP.
At this point, we still put about as much stock in those reports as we do Tina Seals' lawsuit claiming she, not Bey, is Blue Ivy Carter's birth mother.
Is it possible all these photos are a facade and things are secretly
crumbling behind closed doors? Sure, but there is no evidence that it
actually is.
Why fake it at this point if you're just gonna divorce anyway, and why
hasn't there been one shred of proof to back up any of the divorce
chatter?
Just curious. Someone, please enlighten us.

Karrueche Tran and Chris Brown: Back Together!
Proving that not even bitterness, immaturity and occasional full-on hatred can keep them apart for long, Chris Brown and Karrueche Tran are an item again.
They two were spotted at a charity football game in L.A. playing a
little two-hand touch, and likely tackled each other later ... if you
know what we mean!
We mean there was some major PDA at the game Saturday, followed by
probable boning at an undisclosed location once the football fun
concluded.
First Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez back together ... now this.
Like Jelena, Chris and Karrueche just can't seem to quit each other,
even when their recurring splits seem to become uglier and increasingly
ridiculous.
Just last month, Karrueche had few good things to say about the star, who she felt was a jealous, immature wild child who put partying above all else.
Pretty harsh stuff, but he appeared to be equally livid with Kae.
Brown's camp painted an equally unflattering portrait of his longtime love, claiming Chris dumped Karrueche for being a fame whore and a disloyal opportunist.
All depends who you believe, we suppose ... not that it matters.
With the charity football PDA
session, this highly combustible love story has begun a new chapter.
These hoe$ may not be loyal, but these breakups don't take.

Ondo Native Doctor Says He Has The Cure To Ebola
Mr
Elemigbuwa Tosin, is a native doctor from Ondo state who claims that he
can cure victims struck by the Ebola virus. He made this known during
an interview with national daily. He said the description and symptoms
of Ebola match the rare sickness he treated in the past. Though he does
not call it Ebola, he calls it “Aisan Ode” in Ondo State’s native Ikale
dialect. He also added that it is a striking sign of a deity related to
the waters called ‘Obaluaye’. He said it was highly contagious and
almost incurable.
Elemigbewa, who is currently in Lagos with some of his relief medicine for the Ebola vicitims, says that the government should not underestimate Traditonal healers and that he should be given a chance to prove that he can cure the sickness at least with one patient. He advised doctors against the use of syringe in treating the disease as it worsens the sickness.
