Bow Wow Thinks Erica Mena's Reveal Of Her Miscarriage Was "Attention Seeking"
Seemingly, it's trouble in paradise for newly engaged Bow Wow and Erica Mena.
On Thursday (Sept. 17), the former Love & Hip Hop New York star aired out some of business on social media. Mena took to Instagram to reveal to her 2 million followers that she suffered a miscarriage earlier this year. Of course, it was her and her fiance Bow Wow's child.
Mena posted a photo that was captioned with a poem where she poured out her emotions regarding her loss. She also tweeted about not being ashamed of speaking her mind. "I'm open about it. I'm not the only one," she wrote. "Speaking my mind has always helped me deal & heal. So I'm NEVER ashamed. Can you say the same?"
However, Bow Wow disagrees with Mena's sentiments.
After her big social media reveal, Bow Wow posted a video speaking about his opine on the matter. In the 44-second video, he says that his fiancee was "attention seeking." Why would he say such a thing? Well, according to him, Mena's miscarriage occurred five months ago, explaining that the situation was in the past and didn't need to be brought up.
"First and foremost, I feel like telling your personal business on social media, I feel like that's one of the lamest things you possibly can do," Bow Wow said. "I feel like it's attention seeking, especially when it's news that happened five months ago. It's not recent, it's five months ago."
Erica's initial Instagram post has since then been deleted, but watch Bow Wow's reaction for yourself below.
An Erica Mena-Inspired List Of What NOT To Do After You Get Engaged
You know, I wanted to like Erica Mena. For a second there, I thought she could be a misunderstood woman trying to make her way and feed her family through reality TV. However, it's her shenanigans off-camera lately that are a bit unsettling. Ever since Shad Moss, aka, Bow Wow popped the question, she has really been feeling herself. And while there's nothing wrong with being happy about a new chapter and winning romantically, she hasn't been a gracious winner. In fact, she's been a bit mean: to her exes, to her former castmates, and as I found out this week, to the mother of Bow Wow's daughter, Shai. I tried to hold my tongue, but after watching her tell another woman that she's "just a BM," I can't deal. Hey, sometimes finding love can go to your head (check out our comical video on the subject). But the following behaviors are not a good look. Ladies, here are 10 things you shouldn't do once your man puts a ring on it, as inspired by Erica Mena.
Bow Wow Talks Settling Down With Erica Mena: "I Could Have Easily Been The Black Hugh Hefner"
Most were shocked to learn of Bow Wow and Erica Mena's engagement last fall. Their relationship seemed to come completely out of left field, but the celebrity couple's situation lasted longer than many people expected and according to the duo, they still plan on tying the knot.
The rapper is only 28, but he reasons that because he has been in entertainment for so long, he is actually "40 years old" in industry years. For this reason, he says that he's sure he is ready to settle down.
He tells Rolling Out:
"I could have easily been the Black Hugh Hefner. Erica would be the first to tell you that "Bow is Bow." I still uphold that young, flashy, on-the-scene lifestyle. That's never going to leave. But for me, I just follow life and life just hit me differently this time. With me starting at 5, I might be 28, but really I'm 40 years old in entertainment years. So when people are asking why I'm slowing down, the truth is, I've had everything. There isn't a woman that has ever been on camera, ever been interviewed, or ever been on the red carpet that I haven't been in contact with. So, I'm done with all of that. They say you're supposed to get it out and live your life. At this point in my life, all of that is boring, and that was when I knew it was time … it just felt right for me and Erica to take that step."
The CSI: Cyber actor when on to say that his 4-year-old daughter, Shai, also influenced his decision.
"Also, I wanted to focus on being the best father that I could be, because my father definitely wasn't a good father. I want to have time for [my daughter] whenever she needs me. So all of this works together to allow me to have some stability in my life so I can focus on what I need to do."
He also shared that having daughter has made him "more respectful" towards women.
"I'm more respectful now. Looking at my little girl, I really have tunnel vision. How could I ever let her down? She's my best friend, and I've been waiting for her to finally get to this age [4 years old]. Now, she can come to work with me and just be chilling. I love it."

Bow Wow Offers James Harden A Lesson On Sleeping With Groupies: "My Security Takes Phones"
Earlier this week, a photo of James Harden sleeping next to a woman, who is reportedly known in industry circles as a groupie, was posted on Instagram. Of course, it's expected that many young athletes will engage in sexual activity with a groupie at some point or another, but it's reported that the shooting guard is supposed to be in a committed relationship, which makes the photo all the more scandalous.
In response to the photo, which quickly circulated on social media, Bow Wow aka Commentator of All Things Random, dedicated an entire Facebook post to the 25-year-old about how a man should conduct himself when dealing with a groupie.
First of all, the 28-year-old insists that women must hand over their cellphones to his security guards before a rendezvous. He adds that they are also required to sign paperwork. Above all else, the actor suggests that no evidence be left behind. His post reads:
Yo i see yall boys still young rich and DUMB. Now james is my boy but let me say this now. This is how i USE to do it it's called "leaving no evidence" if you was chilling w me my security takes phones and you signing papers. The rule is when she leaves she gets her phone back.
Secondly if u forgot to take phone make sure she sleep then find her phone (usually by side of bed) i would take it put it under the bed so i KNOW im good and could sleep peacefully. Yall be too comfy w/ brauds yall dont know! I give credit to the ladies because most of us are just that rich and STUPID so yall know how to get us.
I been caught up too before not knowing being a rookie but next time.. Leave no evidence. Sometimes i would sleep somewhere else leave them all by themselves but id be watching them from my security cam. Fellas be smart we know the p***** is the most powerful thing but dont let it hypnotize you.
Ladies when yall do stuff like this, it ruins it for you because we NEVER calling you again. Why mess it up over a proof pic that you twapping a rich dude. Was it worth it? YOOOOOO JAMES WAAAKE UP BRO! zzzzzz…. #feartheblonde ps. This game aint for everybody! I took being a ladies man serious. You got to go all out PROTECT your brand your image.
Interesting. Very interesting.

Don't You Just Want To See Ciara Prevail When It Comes To This Love Thing?
Celebrity relationships operate a lot like trends–in one day and so far out the next. (Just ask Big Sean and Ariana Grande.) In fact, it's rare for the public to take a particular interest in any relationship for more than 15 minutes if it isn't Jay and Bey or Kimye.
But one new relationship that has people talking is Ciara's current romance with Russell Wilson. Fans of her music or not, some women are interested in seeing how that courtship will play out. It isn't because the pair are especially cute together or because their union – singer falls for athlete – is unique. Nope. Interests lie in whether or not this new relationship of sorts will last. You can blame this newfound concern on CiCi's track record with dreamboat boos who, unsurprisingly, turned out to be nightmares in front of the world.
Yes, Ciara has fallen for a few princes who ultimately turned back into frogs. There was Shad Moss, then known as Lil Bow Wow, a relationship that could be placed in the puppy love department. Following Moss was 50 Cent, who comes with a laundry list of eccentric antics that can often be too much for even his Instagram followers to handle. Then there was NBA star Amar'e Stoudemire, who eventually went back to his ex, whom he went on to marry. Rounding out the bunch is Future, who allegedly cheated on the star. Despite Future now being a part of her past, she shares a beautiful baby boy with him.
It is perhaps all of these train wrecks that keep us watching Ciara's love life play out with baited breath, hoping it will all work out. Not only is Ciara a sweet and positive person who deserves good luck in love, but who can't relate to her story of falling for Mr. Wrong? There is no rulebook for dating, falling in love, or keeping a happy home, so we do the best we can and learn lessons along the way. Instead of dwelling on previous love mishaps, the "I Bet" singer seemingly mends her broken heart and moves on – quicker than many may expect.
Breakups can leave a girl feeling stuck and wanting to take a break from men. But one thing we could learn from the CiCi is that it's ok to keep trying. You don't have to put love on the back burner because it's been an uphill battle.
Will Russell Wilson be Ciara's knight in shining armor, the man to deliver unconditional love (and stay faithful)? Well, it's way too early to tell. Their appearance at the White House dinner and even his good luck tweet to the singer, as she prepared for her tour, aren't enough information to provide the answer. But still, his actions so far show that he's not afraid to let people know how he feels about her. (And that he's sprung.) Considering that CiCi has always been the one doing the gushing about the guys in her life, it's safe to say that they're off to a great start.

Bow Wow Explains Why He And Erica Mena Live With His Mom
While most young adults like myself are plotting to get out of their parents' home, it looks like Shad "Bow Wow" Moss intends to stay under his mama's roof for a long time. In an interesting interview with People, the "CSI: Cyber" actor revealed that he recently moved his fiancée Erica Mena into the Atlanta mansion he shares with mom Teresa Caldwell.
"It just makes sense," Moss said. "First of all the house is too big, but I want to make sure my mom is comfortable forever."
The 28-year-old went on to say that this way of living is something he learned from former mentor Jermaine Dupri.
"I remember when I first moved to Atlanta and Jermaine Dupree had the same situation," Moss explained. "He took part of the house and his mom had the whole rest of it. I said then that I wanted to have the same set up."
Currently, the soon-to-be married couple is living in the newly remodeled basement of the 8-bedroom mansion.
"It's like I have a condo downstairs," he explained. "I've had 100 people there and my mom has been asleep and has never heard the music, screaming, laughter, or drinking. I mean full blown house parties downstairs while she is in the bed asleep. So I'm staying right here."
It also seems that overstepped boundaries won't be an issue for the trio because there's so much space.
"There's times where I'll be down there for three days and we don't see each other so it's like I'm out of town even when I'm here."
"I don't have to get in the car and drive anywhere to see her," he continued. "I just come up the stairs and say, 'What up, Mom.'"
What are your thoughts on Shad revealing his current living arrangement?

Make It Official: Looks Like Bow Wow And Erica Mena Tied The Knot Already
When I first learned that Bow Wow and Erica Mena were engaged, I was shocked but also immediately assumed it was a publicity stunt. And if I'm being completely honest, I'm still not sure their love is real. But perhaps they've taken that next step anyway. Earlier today, on his Facebook page, the rapper and former host of "106 & Park," posted an extensive message to his fiancé, that seemed to suggest that the couple are already husband and wife.
See what he had to say below.
Bow Wow & Erica Mena Looked Amazing For Their 'People' Engagement Shoot
Bow Wow and Erica Mena's relationship generally attracts all types of skepticism and hate, but we honestly can't see how anyone can hate on these beautiful engagement photos that they shot for People magazine. For the shoot, Erica wore a gorgeous lace gown while Bow Wow wore black slacks, white shirt and a bow-tie.
"I let her spearhead the engagement pictures," the "CSI: Cyber" actor told the magazine. "They say it's best to just say 'yea' to everything!"
Though they initially had plans to get hitched in April, they have since decided to push the ceremony back to June.
"I've got images in my head of how it will be," he said. "I'm excited … What we have is real genuine."
The former "106 and Park" host went on to say that he's not only looking forward to being a great husband, but also a good father to both his daughter, Shai, and Erica's son, King.
"I wanted to be a better man than my father was," the actor revealed. "This relationship has definitely changed me as a person."
As for why he decided to settle down, apparently, he just felt like it was the right time.
"The player life is cool, but I don't want it to define me," he said. "I've done it all, but being on the road, the groupies, you get burnt out."
"I've known Erica for a long, long time," he continued, "We noticed we had a lot in common and just took it day by day. You know how it goes, you text one day, then start texting every day."
Considering that it looks like they're actually going to follow through with getting married, we're wishing them the best.
Check out more photos from their lovely engagement shoot here.

"I've Never Had Someone To Fully Accept Me" Erica Mena Opens Up About Love And Sex With Bow Wow
Honestly, I'm still waiting to see what's going to happen with this Erica Mena and Bow Wow engagement. There is quite a bit of skepticism surrounding these two. One minute Erica, (Whenever I say Erica Mena's name, I always hear Cyn's whiny voice in my ear.), was with Rich Dollaz, then Cyn Santana and then, seemingly overnight, she was not only dating Bow Wow, the two were engaged to be married.
Life comes at you fast, huh?
We never know how the cookie will crumble in Hollywood relationships, so I'm not going to damn them or their love, I'll just say it's interesting.
In this day of social media proclamation, Erica and Bow Wow are forever making their love known all over each other's social media pages. There are photos of the two in bed together, cute videos with sexual innuendos and gushing comments about who and what they are to each other. And in a recent interview with Rolling Out, the "Love and Hip Hop New York" star opened up about her relationship, talking about how Bow Wow tamed her, what real men like in a woman and what she wants her legacy to be as a woman, wife and mother.
Check out the highlights.
How can she be ready to get married when she was just with Cyn?
People have misconceptions about everyone I've dated. Last year, it's like "oh, all of sudden, she's gay." No, I've been bisexual. In the past, I've been very open and affectionate towards females. It's definitely no secret. At that point, I was dating a woman and brought her on the show.
How she and Bow fell in love
When that whole "106 & Park" kiss happened, we were both seeing other people and that kiss put us in the doghouse. So we were kind of confiding in each other. I realized that he is a man who really knows me and I've never had someone to fully accept me for who I am, flaws and all. I think it just happened naturally with us. We were at that point of really wanting to settle down, but the people that we were with at the time just weren't fitting us. So it just happened and I discovered that this was the person that I was really supposed to be with.
What does she say to people who think this is a publicity stunt?
I think people are trying to put pieces together in other people's lives so much that they are not living their own life. Cyn and I have been broken up for a while, I just hadn't publicly come out about it because I'm on reality television. So to keep you tuned in, I had to keep things under wraps. So in this season of "Love & Hip Hop," there's a lot of catching up for the fans to do. And I think they will see how everything transpired and will get a better understanding.
Bow Wow's sex game
Being with Bow [Wow], he's so dominating and that just turns me on because I'm usually the dominating one. I'm a Scorpio, so I call the shots. It's different to have someone that you can finally be submissive to. So dealing with a woman like me, it's kind of like, 'can she be tamed?' It's all a matter of, are you man enough to tame the woman. And there's a way to be assertive, but still give that embraceable nature that makes a woman kind of be submissive to you, that's very powerful. But in order for a man to feel like a man, a woman has to give him the most respect. But in order for the woman to give you that respect, you kind of have to demand it and make her embrace you for what you are doing to her for her to respect you. So it's a catch-22. I think men are scared of being men these days.
A little Rich Dollaz jab
From my last relationship with 'B—- Dollaz' [Rich Dollaz], he was just one of those dudes who would always run home to his mama. You know, it just shows that you're a punk at that point. And that also goes for respect. You can still be a man and have authority and get your point across without being disrespectful. I think a man should "think like a man.
What do men respect about women?
Men love women who aren't babies, who don't nag and you don't have to stroke their egos. You just kind of have to be sure of yourself. If you feel good, I'm telling you every man in America will know you're feeling good.
How she wants to be remembered
In my career, I want to be known as the girl who was crazy enough to go for it and brave enough to get it done. In my personal life, I want to be the one who takes care of everybody. And in my marriage, I want to be that wife that my husband can really rely on for everything. I don't want it to ever get to a point where my husband can't be honest with me, or that he isn't sexually into me. As a mom, I want to be that mother that steers her children to be whatever they want to be, but also lets them know that the world will never give them anything. So when they grow up, they can come back and say, "mom, you were right."
Serious Question: Why Can't Mya Work The Pole In Peace?
If you haven't read by now, R&B singer Mya, best known in my head for delivering the classic lines, "whose drawers are these? You know I wear a size 4…" is still alive, in good health and performing.
She was most recently seen doing all of those things inside of the G5ive strip club in Miami. We should all be happy that Mya still remains gainfully employed, especially in this economy. Yet, people are clowning her because, well, folks love to be extra hard on one another. In particular, rapper Bow Wow. As we reported by us earlier this week, the rapper and former host of BET's "106 & Park" went on his Facebook page and offered his own critique of her choice to perform in the club:
"Mya is a stripper now? If not who advised that it was smart to perform and dance on the stripper stage," he joked.
He then went on to say that if times were hard enough for her to resort to such shenanigans, she could've just borrowed the money, not from him though.
"I can't stop laughing at the video my homie sent me of Mya on the stripper stage dancing. I'm like why though? Haha Hell she coulda borrowed that 1500 performance fee from the local D boy if it was that serious."
Ironically, Bow Wow's "fiancée," Erica Mena, is allegedly a former dancer. But I guess that's different though…
Other people clowned her too, including a lot of folks on social media. But Mya isn't worried about what any of you think of her performance, because she is getting those singles – no pun intended. As the singer put it: "I am whatever I choose to be when I choose to be it. The joy of life. Live it. Been doin' strip clubs, LGBT clubs, dance clubs, straight clubs, concerts, festivals since 1998 to date. I love all my fans and it don't stop. Instagram generation is late as hell."
And hella petty too.
It's just really weird how double standards tend to play themselves out. Mya is a busted clown for performing in a strip club when her male counterparts in entertainment are free to not only patronize and perform in these same clubs, but also make strip club anthems. I highly doubt that folks would care if this was 2 Chainz or even Drake. Now, maybe Jay Z would get a side-eye, but that's because he's in a respectable marriage now. But for every other male artist, folks probably would be offering them high-fives for having such a dope concept for a stage performance.
And that's because it is okay for men to use and objectify women's bodies for their own purposes, but a woman, who is an actual trained dancer and overall good performer, better not try to attempt to own and regulate (even if it is for profit and the male gaze) her own sexuality for her own benefit. Women's bodies are for men only. That's why we love the rappers and their stripper anthems, but hate the stripper.
Of course, the more subtle jab here is that Mya went from performing in front of more esteemed crowds, like at the Grammys, to rolling around on a mirrored stage for tips and spare change. We are supposed to feel sorry and pity her because she is no longer at the top of the charts. But when was the last time you bought a Mya album?
Seriously, and without a hint of shade or snark, when was the last time you actually purchased a ticket to one of Mya's live performances, bought one of her singles or requested one of her new songs on the radio? The answer is probably not since the late 90s and early part of this century. Yet many of us, who neglect putting money into this woman's pockets on a consistent enough basis so that she doesn't have to take a gig at a place we feel is beneath her talents and ability, have no problem passing judgment on her. Nope, that's not cool.
Mya is a performer. And as a performer, she will go where people are willing and able to pay to see her perform. The funny thing is, if she threw in the towel and took a job at an office building, folks would probably be clowning her about that too. So at least she gets to continue doing what it is that she loves to do – even if it's while dancing around a pole.
And it's not like some of us average Joes and Janes out here haven't had to rebuild from less-than-glamorous stations in life after being at the top of our game (or at least economically secure). Folks are going in on Mya like some of us aren't out here juggling two or three side jobs instead of one steady, decent-paying and fulfilling job. Or like we aren't hustling our own music on the chitlin' circuit. Heck, some of us are a paycheck away from the pole. The way I see it, if she can pay the bills and enjoy what she is doing and she feels respected, more power to her.

*Starred Review* Jon Grady, a mostly self-taught particle physicist, is on the verge of perfecting an invention that will change the world when a group of radical terrorists break into his lab, destroy the place, and kill everyone within—except not really. Grady isn't killed; instead he's spirited off to the top-secret headquarters of the Bureau of Technology Control (BTC), a clandestine U.S. government department devoted to identifying and controlling new technologies. The BTC offers Grady the opportunity to work for them, developing his ideas for the benefit of the BTC, but Grady refuses—and is promptly whisked away to a BTC prison, where an artificial-intelligence inquisitor inflicts a variety of tortures on him, trying to force his cooperation. And that's just the beginning, the set-up, really, of this high-flying (literally) sf adventure. Further story developments should probably be left to the author to reveal—let's just say readers familiar with The Count of Monte Cristo will spot some key thematic similarities, and the book's denouement involves some of the most imaginative plot contrivances you're likely to encounter. But it is safe to say that the book is extremely well crafted. The characters (even the not-strictly-human ones) are vivid, the pacing is perfect, the villain is capital-E evil, and the author's near-future world is so well developed that you completely buy even his wildest speculations. A tour de force of speculative fiction. --David Pitt
Praise for Influx
"You'll hear a lot of reviewers compare Suarez to [Michael] Crichton, including me for his previous book Kill Decision. And Suarez deserved the honor in the truest sense...he had achieved a truly Crichton-level of storytelling. But with Influx, Suarez becomes the master, and Crichton is the one who is honored by the comparison." - Stephen L. Macknik, Scientific American
"[Influx is] done with the dazzling sophistication, the play of ideas, the hints of a new understanding almost within our grasp that characterize sci-fi in the cybertronic age." - The Wall Street Journal
"With this terrifying thriller, Suarez provides further support for the proposition that he's a worthy successor to the late Michael Crichton… Suarez once again mixes science and fiction perfectly."
—Publishers Weekly (starred review)
"The characters (even the not-strictly-human ones) are vivid, the pacing is perfect, the villain is capital-E evil, and the author's near-future world is so well developed that you completely buy even his wildest speculations. A magnificent tour de force."
"Influx is dark...it's fun...and it's a thinker. Just what I've come to expect from Daniel Suarez." - Geek Dad
"Influx as a whole is riveting. Fans of science fiction and thrillers will enjoy this engrossing combination of both genres." - ShelfAwareness
"It's a delicate balance, but one that Suarez manages with the skill and audacity of Philippe Petit. Don't know that name? Petit is the only tightrope walker ever to cross between the Twin Towers. Like the daring Frenchman, Suarez goes higher and takes bigger risks than many of his contemporaries or predecessors. It's a technique which allows and enables his work to stand out." - SF Site
Praise for Daniel Suarez:
"This is the kind of mind-expanding novel that uses entertainment to make powerful, important points about alarming current trends; the novel as cautionary tale has rarely been better executed. . . . Highly recommended."
—Tim O'Reilly on Kill Decision
"Perfectly blending nail-biting suspense with accessible science, bestseller Suarez (Daemon) establishes himself as a legitimate heir to Michael Crichton with this gripping present-day thriller."
—Publishers Weekly (starred review) on Kill Decision
"Greatest. Techno-thriller. Period. Experts have long feared the Internet doomsday scenario. Daemon is arguably more terrifying."
—William O'Brien, former White House director of Cybersecurity and Communications Policy, on Daemon
"Daemon does for surfing the web what Jaws did for swimming in the ocean."
—Chicago Sun-Times
"Suarez's fiction is closer to reality than most people think."
—Chris Anderson, author and editor-in-chief of Wired, on Kill Decision

Epstein-Barr Virus-Induced Hemophagocytic Lymphohistiocytosis and X-Linked Lymphoproliferative Disease: A Mimicker of Sepsis in the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit
ABSTRACT A rare complication of infection with the Epstein-Barr virus is the development of hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis. Although most cases of Epstein-Barr virus-induced hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis develop in immunocompetent individuals, the rare immunodeficiency X-linked lymphoproliferative disease is often unmasked by Epstein-Barr virus infection and is clinically indistinguishable from Epstein-Barr virus-induced hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis. We describe the clinical course and management of a previously healthy 17-year-old boy who presented with hemodynamic collapse and severe systemic inflammatory response syndrome resulting from overwhelming hemophagocytosis in the setting of X-linked lymphoproliferative disease. A novel therapeutic approach using anti-tumor necrosis factor alpha therapy was instituted, aimed at attenuating the viral-induced hyperinflammatory state. Given the similarity to overwhelming sepsis, yet a substantially different therapeutic approach, this case illustrates the importance of early recognition and prompt treatment that are necessary to reduce the high morbidity and mortality associated with Epstein-Barr virus-induced hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis and X-linked lymphoproliferative disease.

- "For patients with EBV infection, strong consideration should be given to use of anti- CD20 antibodies, such as rituximab to eliminate mature B cells, which serve as the reservoir for EBV. Indeed, rituximab has been used to prevent or to treat HLH in a limited number of EBV+ patients when used with steroids and/or chemotherapy to curtail T cell and macrophage activation (Balamuth et al, 2007; Milone et al, 2005; Lee et al, 2006b; Mischler et al, 2007). Given that the use of Rituximab can lead to reactivation of hepatitis B, patients should be tested for the presence of this virus prior to initiation of therapy (Ram & Raanani, 2009). "
Article: X-linked lymphoproliferative syndrome: A genetic condition typified by the triad of infection, immunodeficiency and lymphoma[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: X-linked lymphoproliferative disease (XLP) is an inherited immunodeficiency characterized by the clinical triad of increased susceptibility to primary Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) infection, dysgammaglobulinaemia and lymphoma. Most cases are caused by germline mutations in the SH2D1A gene, which encodes the adaptor molecule Signalling Lymphocytic Activation Molecule (SLAM)-associated protein (SAP). Recently, a subset of patients with an XLP-like phenotype was found to carry mutations in XIAP, the gene encoding the X-linked inhibitor of apoptosis protein (XIAP). Studies of XLP patients and Sap-/- mice reveal that loss of SAP expression impairs immune cell activities, such as natural killer and CD8+ T cell cytotoxicity, T cell cytokine production, activation-induced cell death, germinal centre formation and natural killer T cell development. Efforts to dissect the diverse roles of SAP and XIAP are enhancing our understanding of immune cell biology and defining how genetic defects in these molecules predispose to EBV-specific as well as more general cellular and humoral immune dysfunction. These studies are also highlighting critical signalling pathways that might be amenable to pharmacological targeting to improve the treatment of XLP and other disorders associated with impaired antiviral and antitumour immunity.British Journal of Haematology 11/2010; 152(1):13-30. DOI:10.1111/j.1365-2141.2010.08442.x · 4.71 Impact Factor
- "There was only one case of XLP involving a family history, specifically a sibling death due to pneumonia at 8 months. XLP has been now recognized as a primary immunological disorder in infants and children (Mischler et al, 2007). The only case of a mutation of the PRF1 gene in this study showed no family history. "
Article: Comprehensive analyses and characterization of haemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis in Vietnamese children[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Haemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH) is a fatal haematological disorder with diverse aetiology. This prospective study was undertaken to characterize HLH cases in Vietnamese children. Clinical and laboratory data, genetic analyses and outcome of the HLH patients were analysed. A total of 33 patients were enrolled from March 2007 to December 2008, with a median age of 3 years. Mutations of the SH2D1A (SAP) and PRF1 genes were detected in one patient, respectively. The virus association was high, up to 63.6% (21/33), including Epstein-Barr virus (19/33), cytomegalovirus (2/33) and dengue virus (2/33). Five patients had malignant lymphoma and two had autoimmune diseases. Twenty-eight patients were treated according to the HLH-2004 protocol. The first response rate was 64.3% (18/28), with an early death rate of 35.7% (10/28). High levels of interferon-gamma, interleukin-10, MIG and interferon-inducible protein-10 (IP-10) were associated with early mortality (P < 0.05). Reactivation among the responders was high (9/18) and the uneventful resolution was low (3/18) after a median follow-up of 35 weeks. In conclusion, the majority of HLH cases are associated with virus infections in Vietnamese children. Familial HLH is rare. The frequent reactivation and high mortality demands a more appropriate therapeutic regimen in tropical areas like Vietnam.British Journal of Haematology 10/2009; 148(2):301-10.

Article: X-linked Lymphoproliferative Disease (XLP): a model of impaired anti-viral, anti-tumor and humoral immune responses[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: A major focus of our research is to understand the molecular and cellular basis of X-linked lymphoproliferative disease (XLP), a rare and often fatal immunodeficiency caused by mutations in the SH2D1A gene, which encodes the adaptor molecule SAP. Recently, we observed that SAP is essential for the development of natural killer T (NKT) cells, a lymphocyte population that participates in protection against certain tumors, infections, and autoimmune states. In this review, we describe the approaches that we are taking to understand the role of SAP in immune cells, including NKT cells. By using SAP as the focal point of our studies, we hope to identify novel signaling pathways that could be targeted to improve the treatment for patients with XLP as well as more common disorders, such as autoimmunity and cancer.Immunologic Research 10/2008; 42(1-3):145-59.

Former Army Chief General (Retired) V K Singh on Saturday lashed out at the government and said that only systems change, fear of law and stringent punishment can stop the miscreants from committing crime.
General Singh, while participating in a protest demonstration at the India Gate against the Delhi rape incident, said that there is something wrong with the system, which needs to be changed.
"If the measures taken were enough, why are the people in such a large number coming to protest here. Their (Police) primary duty is to ensure safety. They should be punished because they have failed. Dumping responsibilities on each other will not work, if we want to make the system work properly," said Singh.
Referring to the Union Minister of state for Home Affairs R P N Singh's night journey in a public bus to check out security measures in the capital, the retired Army chief said: "If he really wants to see action, he doesn't need to travel in bus. A lot of things can be done otherwise too. As a common citizen I feel that without a systems change, nothing is going to improve."
Slamming the police system, the ex-Army chief said present condition is pathetic and no girl or a woman wants to go to a police station to file a complaint.
On Friday, Singh had said that the incidents like Delhi-gang-rape are indicative of the complete collapse of governance in the capital.

Sixteen Rabbits and Three Tabby Cat Legs
Possibly NSFW. The case of the Rabbet Woman (also known as Mary Toft) is a particularly interesting one. Toft, on the advice of an unnamed accomplice, decided to engage in a scam which would enter her into the annals of history: she pretended to give birth to a series of seventeen baby rabbits and three tabby-cat legs, apparently by pushing their dead corpses up her vagina when no one was looking. Over the course of her fraud, she managed to convince many of the leading scientific and medical lights of the day that she was, in fact, giving birth to these rabbits (and three tabby-cat legs), including John Howard (pdf) (and more, also pdf), Cyriacus Ahlers (one of the King's surgeons), Nathaniel St. Andre (Anatomist to the King), Samuel Molyneux, and Sir Richard Manningham, male midwife to the Queen. Sir Richard Manninghan (Man Midwife!), although originally taken in by the fraud, eventually discovers the truth when a porter admits that he had been going to the market to buy baby rabbits for Toft. His Diary provides a pretty good summary of the case. When the fraud was discovered, Toft was charged, although the charges were eventually dropped; more lasting were the effects on some of the medical professionals, whose reputations were permanently ruined. You can read a nice summary in A Cabinet of Curiosities (google books). The case of the Rabbet Woman took the English world by storm. Scores of pamphlets--in this case the 18th century equivalent to tabloids--circulated, as the public devoured case depositions, scientific publications, satirical doggerel, and semi-erotic prints of rabbits bursting forth from Toft's nether regions (sanitized prints here)*.

Book of the Month
Book of the Month is a feature that the University of Glasgow Library has been running for over a decade now. The format is simple, a single book is selected from their collections, written up and accompanied by pictures, maps and photographs scanned from the books. With over a 100 books to select from, it's hard to know where to start, but anywhere is good because they're all lovely. Still, here are a few, Charles Darwin's The Expression of the emotions in man and animals, a beautiful 15th century illuminated copy of Livy's Roman history, Treatises on Engines and Weapons, Valentines and Dabbities, The Birds of Australia, Facts and Observations on the Sanitary State of Glasgow, Ibn Jazla's The arrangement of bodies for treatment and finally, The Curious Case of Mary Toft, MetaFilter superstar.
Helen Duncan was the last woman to be convicted of witchcraft in Britain. This was in 1944.
Helen Duncan was the last woman to be convicted of witchcraft in Britain. This was in 1944. British authorities "were alarmed by reports that she had disclosed - allegedly via contacts with the spirit world - the sinking of two British battleships long before they became public." Her descendants still smart from the trial and there is a campaign to pardon Mrs Duncan, who some consider a martyred medium who could regurgitate ectoplasm out of her mouth. More than a decade before her trial legendary psychic researcher Harry Price exposed Mrs Duncan as a fraud in his essay The Cheese-Cloth Worshippers. If you want to judge for yourself you can take a look at the photographs Mr Price took of a séance performed by Mrs Duncan.
Brief lives, big book
The Oxford Dictionary of National Biography is published today, in print and online: a biographical record of everyone who's ever been anyone in British history (50,000 individuals) and an astonishing feat of scholarly collaboration (10,000 contributors from all over the world). Access to the full database is fearfully expensive, but the official site gives you a good selection of sample entries, with a new one added every day; and a feature in today's Times gives you some more, beginning with Mary Toft, the woman who gave birth to rabbits.

Change The Passing Scenery On This AR Train Window [Video]
Augmented reality makes a long journey more fun.
The project titled 'Touch the Train Window' was created by the Japanese audiovisual collective Salad (aka Particle at Rest). The project converts a train window into an augmented reality screen, which allows users to place objects as an overlay of the actual scenery and watch them go by as the train moves in real-time.
The installation is created using Microsoft Kinect, GPS tracking, a projector, an iPhone, and openFrameworks. The innovative idea definitely makes a long train journey more fun. Watch the clip below to see how the interactive window works.

Still, too many new mothers and their children are dying needlessly, UNICEF says. Better, more integrated health-care systems that link women's homes to community-based care could help improve the situation.
However, "saving the lives of mothers and their newborns requires more than just medical intervention," Stern said. "What's also essential is a stable environment that empowers women and respects their rights. In addition, educating girls and young women is one of the most fundamental ways to improve maternal and newborn health and also benefits families and societies."

WHO welcomes Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine 2015 for discovery of artemisinin and avermectin compounds
6 October 2015 – WHO applauds the decision to award this year's Nobel Prize for Physiology or Medicine for the discoveries of drugs that have radically improved treatment for malaria, river blindness and lymphatic filariasis. The prize for artemisinin is a tribute to the contribution of the Chinese scientific community in the fight against malaria. Artemisinin compounds have become the mainstay of malaria treatment over the past 15 years. Since 2000, more than 1 billion artemisinin-based treatment courses have been administered to malaria patients.
Key documents from the latest MPAC meeting available
30 September 2015 – The Malaria Policy Advisory Committee reviewed the recommendations of expert groups on the use of mass drug administration for malaria; prevention and treatment of malaria in pregnancy; and vector control coverage. It also heard updates on artemisinin and ACT resistance in the Greater Mekong subregion, malaria elimination in the WHO European Region, and the ongoing process to update malaria terminology. Other topics on the agenda included G6PD testing before treatment and the latest updates on the RTS,S vaccine candidate.
New WHO/UNICEF report on achieving the malaria MDG target
17 September 2015 – According to a joint WHO/UNICEF report released today, the rate of new malaria cases has dropped by 37% globally over the past 15 years, while mortality fell by 60%. The report, Achieving the Malaria MDG Target, shows that the malaria target of the Millennium Development Goals has been met "convincingly". However, malaria remains an acute public health problem in many regions, above all in sub-Saharan Africa where 15 countries accounted for 80% of malaria cases and 78% of deaths globally in 2015.
