A condolence letter from the embassy of the State of Kuwait sent to Department of Migrant Workers Secretary Susan Ople and addressed to Secretary Susan Ople said, “The Kuwaiti society is shocked and saddened to hear about the demise of Mrs. Ranara.

Tokyo began issuing partnership certificates to same-sex couples who live and work in the capital on Tuesday, a long-awaited move in a country without marriage equality.
The certificates allow LGBTQ partners to be treated as married couples for some public services in areas such as housing, medicine and welfare.
More than 200 smaller local authorities in Japan have already made moves to recognise same-sex partnerships since Tokyo's Shibuya district pioneered the system in 2015.

HALLOWEEN STAMPEDE IN SEOUL LEAVES AT LEAST 149 DEAD

At least 149 people, mostly teenagers and young adults in their 20s, were killed in a crush when a huge crowd celebrating Halloween surged into an alley in a nightlife area of the South Korean capital Seoul on Saturday night, emergency officials said.

A further 65 people were injured in the melee in Seoul's Itaewon district, Choi Sung-beom, head of the Yongsan Fire Station, said in a briefing at the scene.

Nineteen of the injured were in serious condition and receiving emergency treatment, the officials said, adding the death toll could rise.

It was the first Halloween event in Seoul in three years after the country lifted COVID restrictions and social distancing. Many of the partygoers were wearing masks and Halloween costumes.

Some witnesses described the crowd becoming increasingly unruly and agitated as the evening deepened. The incident took place at about 10:20 p.m. (1320 GMT).

"A number of people fell during a Halloween festival, and we have a large number of casualties," Choi said. Many of those killed were near a nightclub.

Many of the victims were women in their twenties, Choi said.

Witnesses described chaotic scenes moments before the stampede, with the police on hand in anticipation of the Halloween event at times having trouble maintaining control of the crowds.

Fire officials and witnesses said people continued to pour into the narrow alley that was already packed wall-to-wall, when those at the top of the sloped street fell, sending people below them toppling over others.

A Reuters witness said a makeshift morgue was set up in a building adjacent to the scene. About four dozen bodies were carried out later on wheeled stretchers and moved to a government facility to identify the victims, according to the witness.

The Itaewon district is popular with young South Koreans and expatriates alike, its dozens of bars and restaurants packed on Saturday for Halloween after businesses had suffered a sharp decline over three years of the pandemic. | via Reuters

Gamot na nagpapabagal umano sa epekto ng Alzheimer's disease, nadiskubre

Itinuturing na malaking 'breakthrough" ang pagkakadiskubre ng umano'y gamot na kayang magpabagal sa epekto ng Alzheimer's disease sa tao.

Sa video ng "Next Now" ng GMA News, sinasabing nasa 55 milyong tao sa buong mundo ang apektado ng Alzheimer"s disease.

Ang Alzheimer"s disease ay isang sakit sa utak na nagdudulot ng dementia, o pagkawala ng memorya at kakayahang maging functional.

Wala pang nadidiskubreng lunas sa Alzheimer"s. Pero ang mga kompanyang Eisai Co Ltd at Biogen, may nadiskubre umanong gamot para pabagalin ang paglala ng sakit ng pasyente.

Batay sa mga pag-aaral, kaya ng gamot na Lecanemab na tanggalin sa utak ng pasyente ang deposits ng amyloid beta na siyang nagiging dahilan para magkumpulan ang ibang protein sa utak.

Ito ang nagiging dahilan ng pagkawala ng nerve cells at nagdudulot ng memory loss.

“The amyloid plaques begin building up 15 to 20 years before the memory loss, and then later the tangles start occurring, and then the nerve cells get smaller,” ani Dr. Stephen Salloway ng Brown University.

“So, it makes sense to try to intervene early and reduce the plaques. If there"s enough amyloid removal, then there can be clinical benefits,” dagdag pa niya.

Nag-apply na ang Eisai ng FDA approval sa Amerika. Sakaling maaprubhan, sisimulan na itong ibenta sa USA, Europe at Japan sa susunod na taon. --FRJ, GMA News
