Experts probe into Satkosia tiger’s death
An expert team comprising members of the National Tiger Conservation Authority and the Wildlife Institute of India on Friday began a probe into a three-year-old tiger’s death at Satkosia reserve in Odisha’s Angul district, a Forest Department official said. The NTCA and the WII will carry out a “thorough investigation” to ascertain the cause behind the death of Royal Bengal Tiger ‘Mahavir’ at Satkosia, he said. “Both the organisations have taken Mahavir’s death very seriously. They will find out if the animal died of natural causes or there were other reasons,” the official said.Mahavir, translocated from Kanha National Park in M.P., was found dead in the core area of the Satkosia Tiger Reserve on Wednesday. Two of the six tigers — ‘Mahavir’ and ‘Sundari’ — were translocated to the sanctuary earlier this year. Earlier this month, ‘Sundari’ was tranquillised and shifted to an enclosure, after people alleged that it had mauled two persons to death.
Normal anatomyThe fingers and toes are supplied by vessels and nerves which run up the lateral aspects of each digit.IndicationsThe surgery is recommended in a case of amputated fingers or toes, with salvaged digits in a condition that would enable replantation. This usually requires a clean cut across the digit, with minimal damage to the digital vessels and nerve. Amputated digits should be brought to the hospital with the patient, wrapped in moist paper towels, in a plastic bag, and on ice. Ice should be placed in a second plastic bag, into which the first plastic bag containing the severed digit is placed, to prevent direct contact between the ice and the severed digit.Procedure, part 1While the patient is sleepy (sedated) or deep asleep and pain-free (regional anesthesia or general anesthesia),the bone ends are shortened to eliminate tension on the repaired vessels. The bone is stabilized with wires. Tendon repairs are done next.Procedure, part 2Digital nerves and vessels are repaired with microsurgical instruments. This part of the surgery is most critical to its success. The skin is then closed. A bulky dressing is applied. Young children may have a cast applied to protect the area from injury.AftercareThe function of the replanted digit varies depending on the type of injury, the quality of the repair, and the post-operative healing course. Physical therapy after surgery is required to optimize function.Review Date:8/11/2012Reviewed By:Linda J.

UEFA Europa League Arsenal’s new formation could provide taste of what’s yet to come Chris Wheatley Arsenal Correspondent Last updated 1 year ago 06:16 12/8/17 FacebookTwitterRedditcopy Comments(2) 
UEFA Europa League Arsenal Arsenal v BATE BATE Arsene Wenger fielded four at the back for the first time this season and it could ignite a change in tactics going forward The opposition may have been abundantly poor and the match somewhat meaningless where their Europa League campaign is concerned, but Arsenal’s 6-0 demolition job of BATE Borisov provided a glimpse into the formation change which Arsene Wenger could decide to deploy for the rest of the campaign.Wenger’s men started with four at the back for the first time this season on Thursday night in front of a below-capacity Emirates Stadium. While the official tickets sold numbers were 54,648, it became more apparent that just under 30,000 were inside the north Londoners stadium to watch what turned out to be Arsenal’s most consummate and easiest victory of the season so far.Arsenal’s squad have certainly benefitted from fielding their fringe players in the Europa League with the likes of Jack Wilshere, Theo Walcott and Olivier Giroud all getting game time under their belt. A sumptuous strike from Mathieu Debuchy was enough to remind the supporters that they have a decent right-back in reserve for Hector Bellerin, although a summer exit still remains inevitable for the Frenchman.

A Liverpool legend in the making: Behind Virgil van Dijk’s remarkable rise to world’s best player A 3-4-2-1 formation helped salvage some pride in Arsenal’s campaign last season yet it seemingly acted as a placebo instead of a breakthrough tactical change. The likes of Walcott are unable to fit into the current system Wenger deploys and his impressive performance against the Belarusian side, who were beyond abysmal at times, showed that he is ready to play when called upon.Could it be that Wenger used Thursday’s game as an experiment for the rest of the season? The formation change may be seen again for the coming games including Sunday’s match against Southampton if the 6-0 thrashing is anything to go by, with the likes of Alexis, Ozil and Lacazette all set to return for the trip to St. Mary’s.Wilshere’s first goal in over two years almost sent a message of its own to Wenger who witnessed the Gunners academy product involved heavily in three of the six goals Arsenal scored. With Alexis Sanchez and Mesut Ozil yet to sign new contract extensions, there could still be opportunities for both Walcott and Wilshere in the first team on a more regular basis.The Europa League games have been a mixed bag of quality so far but Arsenal have benefitted in almost every possible way. Players who wouldn’t usually be involved have been given game time and Wenger’s men have a genuine chance of reaching the latter stages if they continue to blast opposition apart like they did on Thursday. Admittedly, this will be as easy as it gets for the Gunners but they will surely be confident of going all the way with the amount of depth they possess in their squad.
Simona Halep is playing well enough to win a third title here, reaching her fourth semi-final in nine visits with a naggingly precise serve that drained even the combative spirit of Ashleigh Barty, whose run of 11 wins on the spin ended on Court Manolo Santana.The Romanian now has an equally formidable task to get past the tenacious Swiss Belinda Bencic on Friday, and she has the added incentive of reclaiming her world No 1 place from Naomi Osaka – who lost in three sets to Bencic – if she wins the final on Saturday.

Halep on Thursday was formidable with ball in hand, winning 87% of her first serves, not far behind the tournament leader in that category, Petra Kvitova, giving her a bedrock of consistency the stubborn world No 9 struggled to counter.The match was close throughout, Halep breaking and then returning the favour immediately in each set, before finding the weapons to get over the line. “It’s a huge victory,” she said. “It was very difficult and every point was important. I tried to stay calm. Sometimes I tried to force it and I missed. With her, you have to keep the ball on court and try to mix it up, like she does.”Barty’s breakback in the second set was by way of an outrageous drop shot, and Halep remarked, “At that point I was so frustrated, but I know that she does these things, because she is very talented.”Bencic looked down and gone towards the end of her quarter-final against Osaka but conjured a 3-6, 6-2, 7-5 win in a memorable fight over two hours and 11 minutes. It was her 25th win and fourth semi-final of the season.

I didn’t have much rhythm early on.

Colombo: Nine suicide bombers, including a woman, were involved in the massive Easter Sunday bombings and 60 people have been arrested so far for their suspected links to Sri Lanka’s worst terror attack that killed at least 359 people, a top police officer said Wednesday. Suicide bombers, believed to be members of local Islamist extremist group, carried out a series of devastating blasts that tore through churches and luxury hotels in Sri Lanka on Sunday. The state minister of defence Ruwan Wijewardena said the multiple bomb attacks were carried out not by the NTJ but by its splinter group. Sri Lanka’s government had earlier blamed the blasts on the NTJ.

Mediator : un coût estimé à 1,6 milliard d’euros pour ServierLe scandale autour des laboratoires Servier, accusés d’avoir continué à commercialiser le Mediator pourtant dangereux jusqu’en 2009, fait parler de lui chaque jour. Le Figaro a tenté d’évaluer le coût de cette polémique. Il s’élèverait à 1,6 milliard d’euros pour Servier selon le journal.D’après les premiers éléments de l’enquête concernant le Mediator, ce médicament aurait causé la mort de 500 à 2.000 personnes. Un scandale qui entraîne aujourd’hui la multiplication des accusations lancées à l’encontre des laboratoires Servier, soupçonnés d’avoir eu connaissance de la dangerosité de leur produit, sans pour autant le retirer du marché. Des victimes et famille des victimes ont porté plainte tandis que la Sécurité sociale et la Mutualité Française envisagent sérieusement de le faire (voir notre article). Face à l’ensemble de ces assignations en justice et à la gravité des accusations portées contre Servier, le Figaro s’est penché sur le montant de la facture dont pourrait s’acquitter le laboratoire à la suite de cette affaire. Le quotidien l’a ainsi estimé à 1,6 milliard d’euros. 226 à 900 millions pourraient être directement reversés à l’Assurance maladie qui prend aujourd’hui en charge les soins liés aux effets secondaires du Mediator. De plus, l’avocat en charge de représenter l’ensemble des familles portant plainte contre le laboratoire, a avancé la somme moyenne de 150.000 euros de dédommagement pour chacun des malades, aujourd’hui au nombre de 3.500, tandis que les familles des victimes devraient également être indemnisées. Et France Soir d’ajouter que récemment, Servier a annoncé son chiffre d’affaires pour l’année 2010. Celui-ci s’élève à 3,7 milliards d’euros.Le 3 février 2011 à 15:11 • Emmanuel Perrin
