    Married 45 years with no child, 70-year-old woman gives birth

    A 70-year-old woman in Indian Gujarat has given birth to a baby boy after conceiving through In Vitro Fertilisation (IVF) treatment.

    As per reports, Jivuben Valabhai does not have any ID to prove her age, but she said that she has seen 65-70 summers till now. The couple had been married for 45-years but could not have children.

    They approached Dr Naresh Bhanushali, who runs the Harsh IVF Centre in the area, after finding out about the procedure through relatives.

    “The couple came to me a year ago. Initially, we were reluctant to do this because of the woman’s age. But they were anxious to have a child, so we decided to go ahead,” Bhanushali told Anadolu Agency.

    “Her blood pressure was high and we had to deliver the child via C-section in the eighth month of the gestation period,” Dr Bhanushali added.

    “We had a team of doctors including a cardiologist, a physician on standby — anything could have gone wrong because of her age but she was fine and gave birth to a healthy baby.”

    The woman might get an entry into the Guinness book of world records for being the oldest woman to give birth to a healthy baby.

    Another deadly Covid variant identified in Pakistan

    The health authorities announced that another variant of the deadly Covid virus has reached Pakistan, reports Dawn.

    Talking to the media outlet, Member Scientific Task Force on Covid-19 Dr Javed Akram said a fatal variant of the virus called ‘Epsilon’ had been detected in the country.

    He confirmed that around 40 patients had contracted the variant so far, however, the figure is not accurate.

    “This variant had originated in California, which was why it was called the California strain or B.1.429,” Dr Akram added.

    “We need to understand that the virus has been controlled but not eradicated, therefore, there are chances of it bouncing back,” said Dr Akram.

    Talking about the vaccines’ efficiency, Dr Akram, who is also the vice-chancellor of the University of Health Sciences (UHS), stated, “The positive side is that all vaccines are effective against Epsilon, therefore people should get immunised and adhere to the standard operating procedures.”

    The Japanese government provided equipment worth 6.59 million dollars to Islamabad through the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) for enhancing Pakistan’s capacity for Covid vaccine storage.

    According to the statistics shared by the National Command and Operation Centre (NCOC), 662 covid cases were recorded in the last 24 hours and the current positivity rate is 1.40 per cent.

  • Student from Swat invents vibrating ‘smart shoes’ for visually impaired

    A matric student from Swat has invented  “smart shoes” for visually impaired people that warn them with a sound or vibration about any obstacle on their path within a radius of 120 centimeters.

    The 17-year-old told Arab News he had an interest in repairing and fixing damaged battery-operated toys and this is how he entered the world of innovation.


    “Visually impaired people will no longer need walking sticks or guides after smart shoes acquire popularity,” Wasiullah said.

    “The shoes are fixed with ultrasonic sensor and Arduino board to keep blind people safe while they are walking. Such individuals can get prior notification of any looming hindrance.”

    Physics teacher Muhammad Farooq said Wasiullah was his most bright student and that he had planned to design a new type of wheelchair to help visually impaired people navigate their surroundings, but he could not afford its financial constraints. 

    Financial problems did not hold him back and he came up with “vibrating shoes” instead.

    “I still believe he has the potential to emerge as a leading scientist if he gets proper coaching and opportunity,” Farooq said.

    “Smart shoes for visually impaired people are available in foreign countries,” Farooq said. “But their prices are beyond the reach for many in Pakistan. The government should own the project because the shoes Wasiullah has made are comparatively cheaper and more affordable.”

    Mian Sayed, a social activist from Swat, has seen Wasiullah’s smart shoes and is positive that they could even become an export product. 

    Wasiullah said the price of a pair of his smart shoes can be fixed at Rs4,500 ($26), but he would not be able to manage production himself as he also needs to finance his studies himself. 

    An opportunity may come from the local government.

    Sajid Shah, head of the provincial directorate general of science, told Arab News the shoes will soon be evaluated by experts.

    “After evaluation by our scientists,” he said, “our department will promote the project of smart shoes invented by Wasiullah for commercial purposes.”
