Hammertoes and crossover toes are a condition commonly found in athletes or people with arthritis. While the conditions have differences in how many ligaments are torn, both involve a tear in the plantar plate. This tear causes the big toe to cross over towards the lesser toes, creating pain while walking.

In a recent study from University Hospitals (UH) Connor Whole Health, researchers found that patients who have recurrent or ongoing pain after lumbar spine surgery may seek out a therapy called spinal manipulation, which targets the joints of the spine. The study, published in Chiropractic & Manual Therapies, found that those providing spinal manipulation for these patients typically use gentle techniques.

Although autism is a common neurodevelopmental disorder, the multiple factors behind its onset are still not fully understood. Animal models of idiopathic autism, especially mice, are often used to help researchers understand the complicated mechanisms behind the disorder, with BTBR/J being the most commonly used mouse model in the world.

The tissue area that surrounds our teeth is known as the gingiva, and healthy teeth will nestle firmly into the gums thanks to the many gingival fibers that connect the tooth to the gingiva. The gingiva is home to fibroblasts—cells that contribute to the formation of connective tissue. A group of scientists from Tohoku University have discovered that gingiva stiffness influences the properties of gingival fibroblasts, which in turn affects whether inflammation is likely to occur and make gingival fibers difficult to form.

PRESIDENT Hakainde Hichilema should suspend Inspector General of Police Lemmy Kajoba and Christopher Mundia his Special Assistant for Legal Affairs over the misappropriation of US$15.5 million meant for Ghanaian expatriate teachers coordinating committee, Emmanuel Mwamba has said.

Mr Mwamba, Zambia’s former Ambassador to Ethiopia says leaked classified correspondence between Mr Jajoba and Permanent Secretary at the Ministry of Home Affairs and Internal Security which has also sucked in Christopher Mundia should move President Hichilema to take action against all involved.

He said Mr Kajoba is reported to have authored a detailed report on how payments were made to Zambians who were not beneficiaries of the money meant for Ghanaians expatriates which was disbursed in 2021.

“In this special report of April 2022, the Inspector General of Police revealed how Special Assistant to the President for Legal Affairs, Mr. Christopher Mundia instructed and halted investigations into the misappropriation of a court award of US$15.5 million which was meant for the Ghanaian Former Expatriate Teachers Coordinating Committee,” Mr Mwamba said.

Mr Mwamba said Mr Mundia as an individual, through his law firm had benefited K1,5 million, money meant for Ghanaians expatriate teaches and was therefore a clear suspect of the criminal investigations.

“I wonder if President Hichilema really sent him to halt the investigations. This is a serious matter and has serious ramifications against State House, Inspector General of Police and Ministry of Home Affairs,” he said.

He said in ordinary and normal circumstances, President Hichilema would have suspended Mr Kajoba and Mr Mundia who had been implicated in the matter to pave way for investigations.

Mr Mwamba said President Hichilema should cause to immediately reinstate the halted investigations that saw the theft of US$15.5million meant for former Ghanaian expatriate teachers.

AFTER scoring his fifth league goal following FC Rangers 3-1 win over Kilmarnock on Saturday, Chipolopolo striker Fashion Sakala continued with his impressive run by contributing a goal and making two assists in the 4-1 hammering of Hibs on Tuesday.

Sakala’s impressive performance excited Rangers coach Michael Beale who dubbed him as unplayable.

Beale said Sakala who has now scored six goals and six assists in the Scottish League said Fashion is still adapting despite having been in the Scottish league for a while now.

“Fashon is still a young man and although he has been here for a while he is still adapting to the hustle and bustle of Scottish football,” Beale said.

“He was a striker when we signed him but he’s been moved out wide at different times. The system suits us at the moment and away from home when teams come after us he gets space. He always gets chances to score or assist and at times he was unplayable,” he said.

Beale hailed his boys but noted that Rangers could have scored more goals had Hibs not defended well despite the loss.

“We were really poor for one moment – their set play – but after that I thought we were outstanding. We scored four and we could have scored double that and that was down to some of our finishing and their defending,”

“It was the best we’ve been defensively since we were last in Edinburgh against Hearts.”

Meanwhile, Zambian envoys Moses Phiri and Cletus Chama Chota put up a superb show and helped Tanzanian giants Simba SC beat and eliminate Uganda’s representatives in the CAF Champions League, Vipers SC following a 1-0 beating at the Benjamin Mkapa Stadium.

Phiri provided the assist as Chama scored the lone goal which propelled Simba to second in Group C of the CAF Champions League with six points, six points behind leaders Raja CA who beat Haroya FC 3-1 on Tuesday and remain unbeaten in Group C with 12 points.

The game was witnessed by Chipolopolo coach Avram Grant who is in Tanzania to monitor the performance of Zambian players as he continues with the assessment of players to call for this month’s crucial back to back AFCON qualifiers against Lesotho.

Zambia will host Lesotho on March 23 at the Levy Mwanawasa Stadium in Ndola before travelling for the reverse fixture which will be played in South Africa on March 26.
