Pak player drinks soap solution by accident

 
Fun & Info @ Keralites.net

It was a day of high drama at the T20 World Cup for the Blind on Saturday, with Pakistan's captain Zeeshan Abbasi accidentally consuming floor cleaning solution kept on the breakfast table at the hotel where the team is staying.

A day after leading his team to a victory against India, Abbasi—who is partially blind—had to be admitted to MS Ramaiah Memorial Hospital.

Although he was discharged six hours later, allegations of foul play flew thick and fast. "Zeeshan had breakfast along with the rest of the team and the bottle containing the cleaning solution was there on the same table," Pakistan team manager Mohd Bilal Satti told journalists.

"Immediately after consuming the solution, he started vomiting. He complained of throat irritation, but decided to play Saturday's match against Bangladesh. He felt sick on the ground and we decided to take him to hospital. Why was the bottle on the breakfast table? It is a mistake made by the hotel staff and we hope they will find the culprit. If we get a satisfactory explanation, we will not pursue the matter, Satti said."

Though Movenpick Hotel & Spa general manager Biswajit Chakraborty admitted that it was a goof up by the hotel staff, he ruled out any foul play.

"Usually, all teams are served breakfast on the ground floor of the hotel. On Saturday, we decided to serve breakfast at our rooftop restaurant. Some of our housekeeping staff were cleaning the windows and in a slip-up, accidentally left a bottle containing soap detergent solution behind.

"Zeeshan took a sip from the bottle and realised something was wrong and immediately spat it out. He then personally came to the reception and informed us that he had accidentally consumed some liquid which was left in the dining area. We immediately apologised and offered him medical help which he refused. We have CCTV footage which clearly shows him coming to us with the bottle and clarifying the situation.

"No hotel uses acid for cleaning purpose and we use user-friendly chemicals. Besides, how can acid be stored in a plastic bottle? The visually impaired players were instructed that they should not consume anything from containers which are not sealed," said Chakraborty, adding that the housekeeper and his supervisor have been sacked.

Naresh Shetty, president of MS Ramaiah Memorial Hospital, said: "Zeeshan is in no trouble whatsoever. After he was brought to hospital, we immediately did an endoscopy and found no traces of anything poisonous.

"All his vital organs were stable. We could have discharged him immediately, but considering the gravity of the issue, did not want to take any chances. So, we decided to keep him under observation for about four hours. He is completely fine and can resume playing."

The situation calmed down by evening with Abbasi expressing enthusiasm about playing the rest of the tournament.

[www.keralites.net] Khatte-mitten khabhrain from around the world

 

 
New drugs relieve depression in hours.
 
Millions of people are suffering from depression, but the drugs available to treat them haven't changed much in 25 years.  Two recent studies that focus on a new class of drugs are offering a new hope to these patients.
 
In depressed patients, brain cell communication breaks down.  Current medication target a chemical called serotonin to help brain cells talk to each other.  But it's PRESENT IN JUST FIVE PERCENT OF THOSE CELLS.
 
These new drugs target a different chemical called glutamate, present in 80 percent of brain cells.  Researchers believe these new drugs restore the lost communication better than older drugs, which can take months or years to kick in.
 
The exciting part of some of the newer medication is that they might, in fact, produce very rapid antidepressant effects within hours or days, CBS News quoted Dr. Gerard Sanacora of Yale University, who is leading of the trials as saying.
 
(Me: Greatest news for the very large number of patients suffering from depression!  The reports explain why the  currently available are best hits or misses, mostly misses and why they are slow acting if at all (patients, as yours truly, know these only too painfully): they are supposed to stimulate or boost the brain chemical serotonin that is present only in 5% of brain cells.  Besides the cost of the expensive drugs to be taken for prolonged period, currently the patients also foot the ransom-like fees the shrinks (psychiatrists) charge, for years on end)

Be wise with speed; a fool at forty is a fool indeed.
 
The answer to the problem was – log(1+x).  A student copied the answer from the student's next to him, but didn't want to make it obvious that he was cheating, so he changed the answer slightly to – timber(1+x)
