TECHNOLOGY NEWS:- Students develop diagnosis app for deaf people
Posted on Leave a comment
Cost-effective solutions to help deaf people navigate healthcare in developing countries is exactly what Banele Mhlongo and Vuma Mthembu, fourth-year medical students at the University of Cape Town (UCT), are trying to achieve with the app they are developing.
For people who are deaf, dealing with public services such as police stations or healthcare facilities without a sign-language interpreter can be stressful or at worst potentially dangerous. They are less likely to make use of healthcare facilities due to communication barriers, which can lead to an incorrect diagnosis or less than satisfactory treatment options.
The two students believe that communicating with the deaf is a vital aspect to create stronger health systems. Already, there is a strong focus on communication with patients at the UCT Health Science Faculty, where students learn isiXhosa and Afrikaans to ensure that patients can understand and respond to relevant questions when obtaining a medica

Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a chronic and progressive neurodegenerative brain disorder, read on for more information about PD.
Posted on Leave a comment
Parkinson’s disease (PD) which involves the death and malfunction of vital nerve cells in the brain, called neurons. This usually occurs in a part of the brain called the substantia nigra.
It leads to a reduction in a chemical called dopamine in the brain. Dopamine plays a vital role in regulating the movement of the body. A reduction in dopamine is responsible for many of the symptoms of Parkinson’s disease.
The disease develops gradually sometimes starting with a barely noticeable tremor in just one hand. The symptoms continue and worsen over time thereby damaging a part of the brain. At the early stage of the Parkinson disease, there is always stiffness of muscles especially in the face or the arms. This will make a person unable to show expressions like smiling, laughing, swinging the arms and will cause slurred speech.
Parkinson’s comes with age. Most people with Parkinson’s start to develop symptoms when they’re over 50, although around 1 in

Yes, it’s a genocide, ‘a bloody one’ too
Posted on Leave a comment
We don’t accept any argument that we are not dealing with a genocide in South Africa. It might look different from the genocide in Rwanda or Armenia because the white minority does not live in concentrated areas where they are rounded up and taken to places of execution.
They live on farms and in rural areas all over the country and are therefore targeted individually.

The Lesson of South Africa For The West – new Black government fail to stop the murders of whites
Posted on Leave a comment
WE’VE SPOKEN SEVERAL times about the situation in South Africa — in particular, about the systematic murder of White farmers there by Blacks and the failure of the new Black government to stop the murders.
The slaughter continues. Since I spoke with you about this in June, another 67 White farmers or members of White farm families have been murdered in South Africa. Many of the murders have been accompanied by torture, rape, and mutilation. Altogether nearly six hundred White farmers have been murdered by Blacks in South Africa since the Whites agreed in 1993 to let the Blacks run the country. That’s one per cent of South Africa’s 58,000 White farmers.
