The Sleep Problem That Can Mess with Your Brain

Snoring like a chainsaw doesn’t just make your girl lose her mind—it messes with yours, too. Men with certain sleep issues are more likely to develop problems in their brains that are linked to dementia, finds new research from the VA Pacific Islands Health Care System.
In the study, older men who spent the most time snoozing with low levels of oxygen in their blood—common in conditions like sleep apnea—were nearly 4 times as likely to show tiny injuries in their brain tissue called microinfarcts than those who got enough air while they slept. And that's important, because those microscopic brain hitches can herald vascular dementia.

Sleeping with too-low levels of oxygen has already been shown to damage your heart. Now, the researchers believe that poor sleep can also spark the production of these brain abnormalities.
How so? Changes in the small blood vessels in the brain—caused by factors like high blood pressure—could reduce the amount of oxygen-rich blood flow to the surrounding areas, says study author Rebecca Gelber, M.D., M.P.H.
So snoozing with low oxygen levels would then mean that even less of the vital element would be delivered to those important brain areas, she says. This can damage the brain tissue and potentially cause those tiny abnormalities.
It’s possible, then, that treating your sleep apnea might actually prevent cognitive decline. Not sure you have it? Common signs of the condition include snoring loudly, waking up choking or gasping for air, feeling sleepy during the day, or experiencing dry mouth or headaches in the morning.

If that sounds like you, make an appointment with your doctor—you might benefit from a sleep study, says Dr. Gelber.

Their stories are told through the eyes of the lead character Temi Coker (Damilola Adegbite) through voice over. Nkem (Beverly Naya) plays the sexy career woman who believes men are simply playthings. Aisha (Meg Otanwa) is the conflicted northern housewife who is married to a bliionare. Ama (Anee Icha) is the sweet and cheerful friend and the youngest in the group. 

The show aims to shed some light on the issues the average singleNigerian woman faces daily in her quest to become a wife. Each character covers various social, physical, economic, religious and cultural aspects of the Nigerian woman, thereby creating a cast that everyone can relate to in some way.  The show is sponsored by first bankand locations are sponsored by Federal Palace Hotel and Casino.

Temi is a 27 year old lawyer and the only child of the Coker family. She is at a stage in her life where she does not know who she is so she makes emotional decisions. She is a risk taker and is likely to do things because they feel good at the time, and not necessarily because they are good for her in the long run. She tries daily to balance her own desire to find love with the pressure to just be married. But as a hopeless romantic with a meddlesome mother, this battle becomes harder to win everyday.

 Ayo is an ambitious young man and Temis high school sweetheart. He sees marriage as an unnecessary distraction at this stage in his career. Although he loves Temi, he is unable to put her needs before his ambition.

Aisha being from a conservative muslim family has never really been able to choose who she wants to be. She knows who she could be without all the cultural and religious strings that restrain her. She is married to an extremely wealthy man and wants for nothing. Though she is still adjusting to the ups and downs of marriage herself, she understands her friends’ desire to be married.

Akin is a kind hearted humanitarian. He doesn’t have the best track record with relationships but he is willing to change and settle down when he meets Temi.

Ama is a free spirit with a rosy outlook on life. She always wants to do the right thing, and tries to as long as it is within her power to do so. She is very spiritual, and is not afraid to share her faith with anyone. Ama is the youngest of the four girls and it shows in her naiveté.

Nkem is a sexy goddess. Not because of her looks but because of a confidence and assuredness that can be seen and felt from a mile a way. The way she walks, her eyes and the way she speaks all form part of what makes her irresistible to men. She is blunt and direct but she loves her friends

Sherriff is the billionaire heir to an oil and gas empire. He is married to Aisha and is a man with old-fashioned Northern values, despite his western education. He is generous and extremely smart but has a sense on entitlement that comes with growing up with unfathomable wealth.

Ex-Senator Thinks Buhari Will Jail Public Office Holders! READ

The Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, candidate for Adamawa South Senatorial District, Silas Zwingina, has said Buhari intends to jail public office holders if elected as Nigeria’s president, and so should be prevented by every means from getting there. He says those who would be lucky among them will get 50years imprisonment because he knows he won’t sentence them to nothing less than 200 to 300 years. Here’s what Mr Zwingina said while speaking in Yola, Adamawa State;

“We have to stop Buhari and his plan to build more prisons to jail politicians. You know Buhari, he will send us to jail for between 200 to 300 years and it is the lucky ones among us that will get 50 years. As you know, there is no way you will hold office in Nigeria and go scot free if the authorities want to get you. Buhari is determined to send people to jail and even APC governors are not comfortable with him and that’s why many of them are not following his campaign team,” Mr. Zwingina alleged.

He however encouraged people to re-elect president Jonathan saying he is 1,000 times better than Buhari

FGM: Any end to a needless practice?

By  Chioma Obinna

If Chiamaka Agwu had a choice about whether or not to be circumcised 40 years ago, certainly, she would have chosen not to be circumcised.

But as luck would have it, the choice was made for her and she was circumcised, a development she regrets to date. Chiamaka’s predicament is not unconnected with complications arising from the act which was carried out by a Traditional Birth Attendant, TBA, in her community.

Coming from a family of seven children, (six girls and one boy), Chiamaka recalls that although she and her five sisters were all circumcision, she is the only one that has developed complications.

Following the deed, Chiamaka who hails from Ebonyi state says she has battled health challenge after health challenge.

Her woes began right after the circumcision and manifested in different forms. First it was like fever. No week passed without her getting ill and this continued until she became of age.

Due to the numerous health challenges, her physique has changed from that of a woman to a man. She is frigid and withdrawn from having relationship with the opposite sex. Worse still, her sex life is zero.

“At 40, I cannot boast of a boyfriend, not that I don’t like to have one, but I don’t feel anything for a man. This has continued to turn many of my suitors away. I hate to discuss this with my friends. I cannot tell them I am circumcised.

“Even when I tried to keep one male friend some years back, at a time he wanted to have his way with me, but I resisted. In the course of my struggling with him, I got injured. Since then, the trauma I faced that fateful day has lived with me. It is something to be avoided. “Till date, I am still asking why it should be me. I still experience pelvic pains,” she stated.

Domestic violence

• Female circumcision has no known health benefit, yet it is still widely practiced in Nigeria and other African countries.

Chiamaka is one of the estimated 140 million girls and women worldwide who have been subjected to various types of female circumcision, a form of Female Genital Mutilation, FGM, which is the cutting, partial or total removal of the external female genitalia for cultural, religious or other non-medical reasons.

The practice ranks high as one of the many instance of domestic violence that is used as a check or cure for sexual promiscuity among women.

Unfortunately, FGM is still widely practiced and the national prevalence rate is 41 percent among adult women. WHO reports show that 91.5 million girls and women above nine years old in Africa are currently living with the consequences of FGM. There are an estimated three million girls in Africa at risk of undergoing the abuse every year.

According to the World Health organisation, WHO, FGM is practiced in more than 28 countries in Africa and a few scattered communities worldwide. Its burden in Nigeria is an old traditional and cultural practice of various ethnic groups.

Abandoned practice: “Although, many families have abandoned the culture but are shying away from admitting there has been a serious problem in Nigeria and a harmful practice in place for hundreds of years will only make the problem worse.   It is still happening,” Mrs. Edith Okon, a victim of FGM stated.

In her article entitled; “Stop FGM”, an anti-FGM activist, psychotherapist, Leyla Hussein described FGM as one of the worst physical and psychological scars a girl can be left with.

Psychological scars

”I was cut when I was seven years old. I didn’t know what FGM was until the day it happened to me. FGM is child abuse and needs to be stopped. One misconception is that it is similar to male circumcision”, she stated.

In a study conducted by TC Okeke, USB Anyaehie, and CCK Ezenyeaku, on the Överview of FGM in Nigeria”, Nigeria , because of population, accounts for about one-quarter of the estimated 115–130 million circumcised women in the world.

In the study, the team found that despite the increased international and little national attention, the prevalence of FGM overall has declined very little.

Vice President of the CommonWealth Medical Association, Dr. Osahon Enabulele, described FGM as having no health benefits for girls and women.

The adverse consequences of FGM are shock from pain and haemorrhage, infection, acute urinary retention following such trauma, damage to the urethra or anus in the struggle of the victim during the procedure making the extent of the operation dictated in many cases by chance, chronic pelvic infection, which Chiamaka is currently battling.

Health implications such as prolonged labour, delayed 2nd stage and obstructed labour leading to fistulae formation, and increased perinatal morbidity and mortality amongst others have been associated with FGM.

Victims are also bound to suffer mental and psychological agony which is deemed the most serious complication because the problem does not manifest outwardly for help to be offered.

Anticipated pains

“The victims are in constantly in fear of the procedure and after the ritual they dreads sex because of anticipated pain and dreads childbirth because of complications caused by FGM. Such girls may not complain but end up becoming frigid and withdrawn resulting in marital disharmony,” he explained.

However, as the WHO, UNICEF and other stakeholders are working towards ending the harmful practice, experts are of the view that there is need for intensification of education of the general public at all levels on the dangers and undesirability of FGM.

Experts describe FGM as crude, dangerous, wicked and unhealthy. FGM is not required by any religion and there is no scientific evidence that women who have been mutilated are more faithful or better wives than those who have not undergone the procedure.

The bottom line is that there is need for abolition of this unhealthy practice. A multidisciplinary approach involving legislation, health care professional organisations, empowerment of the women in the society, and education of the general public at all levels with emphasis on dangers and undesirability of FGM is paramount. At the grassroots, efforts should be taken to join in the crusade to say “No” to FGM anywhere it is practiced.
