Med-View: Why We Left Passengers' Luggage in London

Med-View: Why we left passengers' luggage in London
Med-View Airline has attributed its inability to return luggage of its London passengers to the failure of Gatwick Airport Authorities to screen the baggage after the airline had deployed another flight to return them.
The airline had dispatched special flight to Gatwick London to bring the luggage but the aircraft arrived on Saturday without the luggage.
It was learnt that due to excess baggage by some passengers, the airline could not return the extra luggage and the Gatwick Authorities had to screen the baggage again before the airline could airlift them.
But the screening could not be carried out due to the Christmas holiday, it was gathered.
In a statement on Sunday, the airline said this explained why the special flight returned without the luggage since a fresh screening would have to be done on the baggage.
Med-View expressed regret over the development, saying the Gatwick Airport on arrival of the aircraft said it had no capacity to screen the baggage as only a handful of its workforce was on duty.

Several bodies have been found at the crash site of missing Russian military Tu-154 aircraft in the Black Sea, Russian media reported on Sunday, citing Defence Ministry press service.
However a singer in the Red Army Choir declared dead in the Sochi air disaster is alive, as his passport was out of date and was forbidden to fly.
Roman Valutov, 29, was in the list of the aircraft passengers, but did not board the doomed flight as his passport expired in July.
The ill-fated plane, en route to the Syrian port city of Latakia, vanished from the radar screens shortly after taking off from an airfield in the southern Russian cit Adler at 5.40 a.m. Moscow Time (0240 GMT), according to Russian media reports.“Fragments of the Russian Defense Ministry’s Tu-154 aircraft were discovered in 1.5 kilometers from the Black Sea shore of Sochi at a depth of 50-70 meters,” the defence ministry said.

The two men accused of using fake weapons to hijack a Libyan plane earlier this week with 117 people on board before diverting it to Malta appeared in court Sunday.
Moussa Saha and Ali Ahmed Saleh pleaded not guilty in Valletta's law courts to a string of offences including hijacking a plane and threatening passengers.
If convicted they face maximum sentences of life in jail.
The Afriqiyah Airways Airbus A320 was en route from Sabha in southern Libya to the capital Tripoli when it was taken over and forced to fly to Malta, sparking a four-hour runway standoff.
While the two suspects were initially thought to have used a real grenade and at least one pistol to stage the hijacking, it later emerged that they had allegedly used fake weapons, a Maltese government statement said.
The pair were escorted into the Christmas Day hearing under heavy armed security and the two men were wearing bullet proof vests.

Healthy diet for the rainy season

Along with the showers comes the risk of various diseases like food poisoning, diarrhoea, dysentery and cholera. Again, in rainy season, digestion is generally weak. Therefore, you should eat less. It is also essential to fast once a week or fortnight. People eat some incorrect food during this time and fall sick. To protect your health, follow this dietary guideline: •Avoid heavy, salty food, as it promotes water retention and bloating. It is better to have medium or low salt food •Eat foods which are drying in nature, the most popular being corn, and oats, among others. Eating watery foods like rice and watermelon creates swelling in the body •Maintain the general hygiene while eating out and definitely avoid roadside vendors, as very few people have the high immunity to handle the bacterial overload at such places •The milk is the better diet in this season. Drink butter milk, as it improves digestion. Oily food should be taken in less quantity •Eat li...

Managing lactose intolerance in children

-
A concerned mom shared her experience with other mothers about the likely causes of diarrhoea in children: “When my daughter was two months old, she started having diarrhoea. I let this go on for a couple of days and then took her to our family doctor. The doctor told me that she has gastroenteritis (infectious diarrhoea). I was given oral re-hydration solution and Flagyl syrup. After a couple of days, she still wasn’t any better and I was at my breaking point. So, I scheduled an appointment with another doctor in order to get a second opinion. The new doctor that I now call my daughter’s pediatrician said that she didn’t think that the baby has gastroenteritis. She said that she was likely to be lactose intolerant and had colic. She told us that when a baby is developing intolerance to cow’s milk, a symptom of that is diarrhoea. So, she advised us to change her baby formula, and, immediately, the diarrhoea stopped.” Lactose (milk) intolerance happens whe...

When fibroid co-exists with pregnancy

-

                        Dr. Samuel Adebayo Uterine fibroid, also known as Leiomyoma, is a benign (non-cancerous) tumour of the uterus (womb). Fibroids are the most common benign tumours in females and they occur during the reproductive years. They occur in up to 50 per cent of women. The exact cause of this tumour is unknown; but some factors are associated with increased chance of developing uterine fibroid. A family history is a factor. History of fibroid developing in women of the same family or race plays a role in a woman’s life. African women have between two and three times chances of developing fibroid than white women. Also, African women develop fibroid at a younger age, usually in their 20s and above, unlike white or caucasian women where fibroid may occur in their 30s or 40s. No pregnancy or low pregnancy rate increases the risk, just as early onset of menses...
