One of the two suspects in the attack on a young man in Elektrostal near Moscow, who had his scalp removed because of the green hair, was detained. It turned out to be a resident of the Komi Republic born in 1999, said Tatiana Petrova, head of the press service of the regional department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia.
"Currently, police officers are taking measures to locate and detain an accomplice in the illegal act," Petrova specified.
As Life has already reported, the monstrous story happened at the Crystal pool on Sportivnaya Street in Elektrostal near Moscow. 19-year-old Yuri approached a group of men to ask for a cigarette, and they called him a rooster, and then grabbed him and cut the mothocais from his head with a knife, hooking his skin as well.

Tuberculosis (for short: TB) is known to be one of the top 10 causes of death worldwide, and is in the list of the top 5 deadliest infectious diseases affecting all ages. Every year, about 10 million people fall ill with the disease, and about 1.5 million people die from it. TB is the leading cause of death of people with HIV and also a major contributer to antimicrobial resistance. Perhaps you may have heard about it before as it's quite common as its been reported in, but what exactly is tuberculosis and are there even ways to prevent, or cure it?
What is tuberculosis?:
Tuberculosis is a baceterial infection that mainly affects the lungs, and can be fatal without any treatment. Pulmonary tuberculosis (affects lungs) can be contagious and is according to the American Lung Association not quickly spread. Besides affecting the lungs, tuberculosis is also known to affect the bones, lymph nodes, vertebrae, and other parts of the body; those types of tyberculosis are not contagious and can be succesfully treated with the right medication and help.
What are the main causes of tuberculosis?:
Tuberculosis spreads when someone with active TB in their lungs coughs or sneezes, and someone else inhales the expelled droplets that contain TB bacteria.
To be infected, one would have to be in contact with it for an extended period.
Not everyone who has TB is contagious, even though the risk of TB is high in people who:
Live in, come from, or have spent time in a TB-infested country or region. (most commonly; Africa, Asia, Carribean, Eastern Europe, and Latin America)
Live in a crowded environment.
Have an immunosuppressing condition such as human immunodefiency virus.
Took chemotherapy and biological agent treatments that weaken the immune system.
Are in poor health or with a poor diet because of a bad lifestyle or other issues, such as drug abuse and alcoholism.
Symptoms of tuberculosis:
Persistent coughing and coughing up mucus (Mucus is made by the cells in your throat, mouth, nose and sinuses to protect, moisturize and trap potentially harmful particles. In this case it may appear as sticky and gelatinous.)
Night sweats
Weight loss
Loss of appetite
Fatigue/loss of energy
Fever
Difficulty breathing
The various types of tuberculosis & it's treatments:
1. Latent tuberculosis (LTB):
Latent TB is asymptomatic because the body's immune system keeps the infection at bay. Latent TB occurs when a person carries the bacteria but does not develop symptoms, however there is a chance that the latent infection will reactivate later in life when the body's immune defenses weaken, leading to active disease.
For latent TB are three treatment options:
Isoniazid (INH): This is the most common therapy for latent TB, you basically take an isoniazid antibiotic pill daily for 9 months.
Rifampin (Rifadin, Rimactane): This is an option if you have any side effects, or contraindictations in INH. You take this antibiotic each day for 4 months.
Isoniazid and Rifapentine: You take both of these antibiotics once a week for 3 months, under your doctor's supervision.
2. Active tuberculosis (aTB):
Active TB is a condition in which the bacteria are active and do cause symptoms. Active TB is divided into two types: pulmonary TB, and systemic TB. Although TB is primarily a lung disease (pulmonary TB), as mentioned in the beginning in the post, it can affect other systems aswell. Systemic TB occurs when active TB is present in other parts of the body. Active tuberculosis requires a combination of antibiotrics like:
Isoniazid
Rifampin
Pyrazinamide
Ethambutol
Rifabutin
Rifapentine
3. Disseminated or miliary tuberculosis (DTB/MTB):
Miliary TB is a rare form of active TB that occurs when TB bacteria enter the bloodstream. In this form, the bacteria quickly spread throughout the body in tiny nodules, affecting multiple organs at the same time; this type of tuberculosis can be fatal. Just like with the previous types of tuberculosis, DTB and MTB are treated with a combination of antibiotics, this gets done in multiple periods of time which can run up to 6-12 months.
Intensive phase (2 months):
Pyrazinamide
Isoniazid
Rifampin
Streptomycin or ethambutol
Continuation phase (4 months):
Isonaizid
Rifampin
4. Multidrug-resistant tumerculosis: (MDR-TB)
This type of TB is caused by bacteria that are resistant to at least two of the most commonly used and potent anti-TB drugs, like:
Isoniazid
Rifampicin
Pyrazinamide
Ethambutol
Streptomycin
5. Extensively drug-resistant tuberculosis (XDR-TB):
This is a rare form of TB in which the bacteria are resistant to more than two anti-TB drugs. This type of TB can be cured, but with the current drugs available, the likelihood of success is much smaller than in patients with ordinary TB or even MDR-TB.
Besides antibiotics, its also advertised to stay home during the first weeks of treatment, until you're no longer contagious. Which means you should avoid public places and people with weakened immune systems, like young children, the elderly, and people with HIV. Just like with COVID-19, you'll have to wear a special mask if you have visitors, or need to go to the doctor's office.
The effects of untreated tuberculosis:
As mentioned above, tuberculosis can be succesfully treated with the right treatment and help, but what if a person who has tuberculosis would not get any treatment and let it worsen?
Untreated and worsened tuberculosis can cause:
Miliary or disseminated tuberculosis
Fluids, air, or pus in the lungs
Acute respiratory distress syndrome or fluid buildup in the lungs
Paraplegia or paralysis of the lower body due to tuberculosis of the spine
Tuberculosis arthritis (joint inflammation) of the hips or knees
Infertility in men and women
Seizures and growth retardation
Multidrug-resistant/extensively drug-resistant tuberculosis
The final cause may be either multiple organ failure or internal haemorrhage (bleeding) in the lungs, which may happen when the advancing destruction erodes into an artery; this will most likely result into death.
How to prevent tuberculosis?:
There are multiple ways to prevent tuberculosis. By keeping the various mentioned main causes in mind and trying to avoid them, you most likely will be safe, but there's more. For children there's a vaccin available; BCG (bacille Calmette-Guerin) which is legalized in Australia, Canada, the United Kingdom, & the United States. In countries or regions where tuberculosis is common, one dose is recommended in healthy newborn babies as soon after birth as possible. In countries or regions where tuberculosis isn't as common, only children at high risk are typically immunized. Among children, the vaccine prevents about 20% from getting infected and among those who do get infected, it protects half from developing disease.

MACEIÓ, ALAGOAS, BRAZIL – SEPTEMBER 16, 2014 Three people were found dead in an apartment in the Pinheiro neighbourhood. They were all lying in a pool of blood. It was found that a mentally ill 20-year-old Felipe Vasconcelos had stabbed to death his 19-year-old sister and 23-year-old sister in the early hours of the morning. He then committed suicide. The bodies had been lying there all day until they were found by their mother, who had returned from work at night.
Felipe with his sisters Amanda & Maria
It was discovered that Felipe suffered from bipolar disorder. First he attacked his 19-year-old sister Maria Clara Vasconcelos with a knife. When 23 year old Amanda saw this, she rushed to help but was stabbed in the neck and bled to death. When Felipe realized what he had done, he stabbed himself several times in the neck with a knife. But before that, he wrote the word “help” in blood on the wall.
