  • Baby born healthy after spinal surgery inside the womb

    A mum was relieved to see her newborn son kick his legs after he had spinal surgery while still inside the womb. Serena Nye, 24, was told after her 20-week pregnancy scan her unborn son had spina bifida. It meant his spine and spinal cord was not developing properly, causing a gap in his spine, leaving at high risk of weakness or total paralysis of his legs. Serena and partner Chris Bown, 26, were given the choice to continue normally, terminate the pregnancy, or have fetal surgery. So in an incredible operation, doctors took Serena's womb OUT of her body, at 26 weeks, to operate on her unborn son's spine via keyhole surgery. After the three hour operation, her womb - and baby - were stitched up back inside her body again until it was time to give birth. Tommy Bown was born six weeks later, at 31 weeks - and was able to kick his legs and feed normally as a result of the surgery. He spent four weeks in hospital before doting parents Serena and Chris brought him home, to Eastbourne, East Sussex. Thanks to the super advanced surgery, the tot, now three months old, is hitting all his milestones - and a scar on his back from the surgery is the only evidence of his op.

  • Egg prices soar in the US due to bird flu outbreak

    STORY: Shoppers in the U.S. are seeing egg prices soar and purchase limits imposed due to a bird flu outbreak affecting supply.Stores like Trader Joe’s now limit egg purchases to only one dozen per customer. And it's all just another blow for consumers after years of rising prices. This shopper was unhappy, but trying to be understanding: "I saw one store, Trader Joe's, that limited to one dozen, but their prices were cheaper than a lot of other places. Their price I happened to look theirs was $4.99 and I think Walmart's was six something. So I understand where they're doing it. I do understand. I'm not happy about it, but I do understand."So far, the bird flu outbreak in the U.S. has infected nearly 70 people, mostly farm workers, since April.The H5N1 virus has also raised egg prices by killing millions of hens.Supply chain expert Matt Sutton-Vermeulen from consulting firm Kearney explains: "The price of eggs has gone up because of this supply demand relationship. It's a highly inelastic commodity, which means it doesn't, the demand for doesn't move when the supply is tightened and so the price moves up unfortunately with it."Authorities have also found a second strain of bird flu in dairy cattle - ramping up concerns about its spread. Experts are also worried that the virus no longer seems connected to the movement of wild birds: "Typically in the past, you know, in the historical view of the virus, we've seen it stop, we've seen it peak and fall around the migratory flights. But we are not seeing that anymore. We are seeing a more prevalent disease state."Last week, regulators closed poultry markets in New York City and some neighboring counties in a bid to stop the spread of the disease.
