Botox Trial Might Help Asthma Survivors Breathe Easier

Botox is not just for getting rid of unwanted wrinkles. The numbing procedure may be linked to help smooth the way for asthma sufferers, and is currently in a trial to treat people suffering from the condition. From the Telegraph:

The trial follows a recent survey by the university which found about half of severe asthmatics suffer problems with their voice box as well as their lungs. The problems were similar to vocal cord dysphonia – or loss of voice through overuse – a condition which Botox is frequently used to fix.

Under the trial, which is a world's first, thirty asthma sufferers will have the treatment.

Researchers hope the jabs will allow the muscles to relax and remove any sensation of breathlessness

Troubled diva Amy Winehouse dead at 27

LONDON (AP) — Few artists summed up their own career in a single song — a single line — as well as Amy Winehouse.

"They tried to make me go to rehab," she sang on her world-conquering 2006 single, "Rehab." ''I said 'No, no no.'"

Occasionally, she said yes, but to no avail: repeated stints in hospitals and clinics couldn't stop alcohol and drugs scuttling the career of a singer whose distinctive voice, rich mix of influences and heart-on-her sleeve sensibility seemed to promise great things.

In her short lifetime, Winehouse too often made headlines because of drug and alcohol abuse, eating disorders, destructive relationships and abortive performances. But it's her small but powerful body of recorded music that will be her legacy.

The singer was found dead Saturday at age 27 by ambulance crews called to her home in north London's Camden area, a youth-culture mecca known for its music scene, its pubs — and the availability of illegal drugs.

The London Ambulance Service said Winehouse had died before crews arrived at the house in leafy Camden Square. The cause of death was not immediately known.

The singer's body was taken from her home by private ambulance to a London mortuary where post-mortem examinations were to be carried out either Sunday or Monday. Police said in a statement no arrests have been made in connection with her death.

On those lost points- ( AZRAQ vs AZKALS)

As I watched the Kuwait Men’s Football National Team put the finishing touches on a clinical display of top-notch football – a 3-nil win over the Philippines in Kuwait -- I felt bad for a couple of things.

One, for the team, that had worked so hard and is sometimes dealt terrible hands. They carry the burden of expectation not just of themselves but now a nation starved for glory.

Two, for our country that with every game, every win and every draw, hopes to stake its claim as an heir to the world game. Denied in basketball, maybe in the world game, we can be someone.

And three, it’s a sobering lesson that we have a long ways to go.

If the home matches against Mongolia and Sri Lanka taught us anything, it was the advantage of a home field game.

If there was anything that the sobering loss to Kuwait taught us is that we need more experience. And that is something not learned in the span of a week of training camp in Germany or Bahrain. There are no short cuts in sports (one that the Miami Heat can relate to). One must the highest of highs and the lowest of lows before one can build a winner.

For one scintillating half, the Philippine Men’s Football National Team showed the Kuwaitis and whoever was watching that we could be right there with the best of them. We nearly blindsided them on a couple of counter-attacks and repeatedly took possession of the ball. We forced them to be a little more defensive and cautious.

Who knows had a strike, even one strike, found the back of the net early on? That could have changed the complexion of the game.

I got to speak to midfielder Fahed Ebrahim who scored the third goal for Kuwait as they were waiting for their flight to Manila (via Kuwait Airlines) and this is what he had to say, “The Philippines made us think about our strategy and what we were doing wrong.”

Added playmaker Fahed Al Elenezi, “They made us work for our points.”

Wisemummy: Fortunate event with AZKALS

I was one of the “ Many Fortunate” to be inside the practice area where the popular Philippine National Football team “AZKALS” run for another practice 2 days before the set game in Kuwait,   it was a sweaty, hot  and superb experience seeing  the players up close ! (Particularly Angel, Phil & james- Actually, I still have the hang of it!!)

Filipinos from all over kuwait gathered and cheered, as the players arrived the crowd went gaga and scream!!  I can feel the emotions and YOU KNOW!! The excitement of each and every Filipino, its unexplainable emotions that I just want to scream and jump!!...., I overjoyed the moment as if I’m on another episode of a wonderful day dream haaayyyyy… 

we’ve stayed till the end of the practise and had given the chance to take photos with the perspiring  handsome AZKALS players (lolss) …

  Everyone is wonderful and  friendly,  AZKALS popularity is definitely rising but they remain to be down to earth  with their supporters!!

                                                                   *************

Wisemummy DAMN!!  Observation:

Ok ok… I know it sounds rude, that after a wonderful experience right up there!!, I have to write another cruelty … what can I say!! I owe this page and I have every right to talk and tell what is there that freak me out of nowhere!!.. Ready??!

In the said event, although, I was happy to see my fellow kababayans being crazy and ecstatic  with the AZKALS, I must say, they are many who really act like animals in the field!!!.. I don’t judge them if their body heat steam over the young and handsome players but COME ON PEOPLE!!!  can you just wait till the players are ready to face and have their time with you  for a photo session??!! DID  you hear  the announcement??! “  WAIT TILL THE PLAYER IS READY, JUST 20 mins of your freaking precious time for the players to freshen up" !!!!

I saw lots of ladies who intrude and run over while the players are busy changing their clothes after the game, fans are screaming like crazy, jumped their butts on the lap with their hands gripping on the neck of the deprived players … it’s pretty unpleasant and rude to see these people acting wild just to get a picture and all for sure to be posted on their facebook album and boast it all to the world…! (got ur point honey...loud& clear!!)  Sometimes being popular is a curse.!! !... Can you imagine yourself with a stranger exploring their hands over your body nor had their butt on your jingle bells … HARRASSHMENT baby!!!  publicly harrashed by people who cant control their animalistic volcano erruption self!!......

QUESTIONS....: do I hear you right?? am I jealous of you getting the your butt near them?! what?!! watta shame!! shoul I be jealous??! hmmm.....

For the love of monkey!!  Can we put ourselves on their shoes …. It’s ok to be crazy but it’s not cool to be overly wild and act like an ANIMAL….!! Gets mo?!!
