Robert Mugabe is suffering cancer and may die before 2013, according to Wikileaks

|

Harare, 4 sep (EFE).-the President of Zimbabwe, Robert Mugabe, suffers from prostate cancer that could cost their lives by 2013, according to a diplomatic cable from U.S. filtered by the Wikileaks website and disclosed today by the Zimbabwean state Sunday “Sunday Mail”.

Transcription of the document reveals a conversation held in 2008 the Governor of the Central Bank of Zimbabwe, Gideon Gono, and the then US Ambassador in Harare, James McGee.

“El President Robert Mugabe has a prostate cancer that has spread by metastasis and which, according to doctors, will cause his death within three to five years”, he told Gono McGee, according to the cable.

“Mugabe doctor recommended him to reduce his activities,” adds the document.

However, the Governor of the Central Bank of Zimbabwe has denied ever having made those comments.

Mugabe, at the age of 87, has traveled this year at least five times to Asia accompanied by his wife, Grace, for reasons doctors.

According to presidential spokesman George Charamba, the marriage made those trips by an operation of cataract that Mugabe underwent last January, and by some back problems of his wife following a fall in his mansion in Harare.

To date, the Party of Mugabe, the African national Zimbabwe Union – Patriotic Front (ZANU-PF), has refused to admit that the octogenarian head of State has problems of health.

Mugabe ruled the country solo and authoritatively since the independence of the United Kingdom, in 1980, to the Alliance in a coalition Government with the movement for democratic change of the Prime Minister, Morgan Tsvangirai, in 2009.

From November 2010, daily influential in several countries have had access to hundreds of thousands of the US State Department cables leaked by WikiLeaks.

This web devoted to disclose secret official documents, published in late August 134,000 cables of American diplomacy in that, instead of made in previous disclosures, it lays bare the identity of protected sources. EFE

Australian scientists link leukemia with new type of genetic defect

|

Sydney (Australia), 5 sep (EFE).-A group of Australian scientists discovered that a new type of hereditary genetic defect is present in the people who are prone to suffer preleucemia and acute leukemia, reported today means premises.

This flaw – that predisposes people to develop mielodisplásticos syndromes (MDS), known as preleucemias, and acute myeloid leukemia – consists of a mutation in the gene GATA2.

This gene regulates the activities of others involved in the production of cell white.

“The discovery of this gene allows to identify, monitor and treat people that are very likely (to suffer acute leukemia) in advance,” said the local agency AAP Hamish Scott, of the Centre for biology and pathology of cancer Australia of South.

Patients with myelodysplastic syndromes, characterized by the inability of the bone marrow to produce healthy, cells usually develop severe anemia and require constant of blood transfusions

About a third of those affected with the SMD develop acute leukemia, a disease that if it is not detected in time can kill the life of the patient in a few weeks or months.

But with the discovery of the genetic defect scientists can develop new tests to diagnose both diseases and seek new forms of treatment.

Biology and pathology of Cancer Center already developed tests to detect the gene, while in United States is developing clinical trials related to these diseases.

This discovery was made possible by genetic testing of a family of the city of Adelaide which had blood disorder and that it is the largest related with this genetic defect known to date, added AAP.

Research, which was published in the scientific journal Nature Genetics, was funded by the National Council of health and medical research, the Council of the South Australia cancer, Leukemia Foundation and the University of Adelaide. EFE

Australia and the EU will linked their CO2 emission trading schemes

|

Sydney (Australia), 5 sep (EFE).-Australia and the European Union (EU) will try to link their systems of trade in emission of gaseous pollutants, said today the first Prime Minister, Julia Gillard.

After the meeting with the President of the European Community, Jose Manuel Durao Barroso, Gillard said both agreed to initiate a dialogue to discuss the measures “that can be taken together” with the aim of unify trading systems of CO2 emissions “in the future”.

“Both Australia as the European Union recognize that carbon markets are the most effective way of reducing the gases that cause the effect greenhouse and thus create jobs in the clean energy sector,” said Gillard in joint in Canberra press conference

EU pioneered a GHG emissions trading system (ETS) greenhouse is six years.

At the same time, the Australian Government has intended to adopt a new tax of about 23 Australian dollars (around 17.2 euros) by emission of one tonne of CO2, which already has the necessary votes in Parliament, from the next year.

This tax will annually increase by 2.5% in real terms until 2015, year that give passage to a scheme of trade in emissions similar to that of the EU where the international market will set the price.

Durao Barroso considered that the trade in emission of gaseous pollutants is the “most effective” way to combat climate change, in addition to become “a great environmental opportunity” of doing business, the local news agency AAP.

The two leaders also discussed issues related to the global economy, the liberalization of markets and a possible Treaty of cooperation between Australia and the countries that form the EU.

This agreement is expected to sign next month, “will serve as a framework for the different areas of our flourishing cooperation”, he said the President of the EC.

Durao Barroso began yesterday, with the Commissioner of the climate, Connie Hedegaard, an official visit in two days, Australia while next Wednesday will travel to New Zealand where it will stay until 9 September.

The tour focuses on a greater economic cooperation in forums like the G20 (a group of developed and emerging countries) and continue talks to curb change climate.

Next to Hedegaard, will participate in the Forum of the Pacific Islands from 6 to 7 September in Auckland (New Zealand), where they will meet with leaders of countries in the Pacific, for which the European Union (EU) is the second largest donor of aid.

Pulmonologists warn that menthol cigarettes increase addiction

Madrid, 5 sep (EFE).-menthol cigarettes increase tobacco addiction and carry a greater health risk than the traditional ones, as he has warned a group of pulmonologists expert in smoking, calling for prohibition of menthol as an additive in these products.

Menthol smoking favors, creates greater dependence and hinders the abandonment of tobacco, as he explained in a press release Dr. Sigismund Solano, in the service of Pneumology of the Hospital Gregorio Marañón in Madrid and one of the three authors of the study.

This is so because menthol gives the feeling of a breathing more fresh and deep, and acts as an analgesic local softening the effect of smoking on the tract respiratory.

According to Solano, mentholated cigarettes encourage smoking as “facilitate” the Act of smoking to inexperienced smokers or those who reject the roughness of the tobacco.

In an article in the prevention magazine of the smoking of the Spanish society for Pneumology and thoracic surgery (SEPAR), this group of pulmonologists underlined also that tobacco addiction is higher among smokers of menthol cigarettes that between the traditional, that the first need to smoke first cigarette in the morning much earlier.

Solano has also ruled that menthol cigarettes are more healthy.

“Often has wanted them to relate to the benefits associated with medicinal remedies to basis of menthol, and presented as a healthier alternative, but has been demonstrated that this idea is completely false and always smoking is harmful to health”, explained Solano.
