 NAF INTENSIFIES AIRPOWER CAMPAIGN, STRENGTHENS AIR PRESENCE IN SOKOTO TO DENY TERRORISTS FREEDOM OF ACTION The Nigerian Air Force (NAF) has intensified its airpower campaign against terrorism, banditry, kidnapping and other criminal activities across the North-West, with a strengthened air presence in Sokoto State to support ongoing joint security operations. The initiative reflects the Service’s determination to sustain pressure on hostile elements, enhance aerial surveillance and maintain the capacity for rapid response to emerging threats, while providing effective air support to ground forces operating within the Joint Operations Area. The strengthened air presence is particularly significant in the fight against asymmetric threats, where terrorists and bandits exploit difficult terrain, mobility and concealment to evade ground forces. By leveraging the reach, speed, flexibility and precision of airpower, the NAF is better positioned to support efforts to locate, disrupt and d...

AORTIC TEAR LIKELY CAUSED SEN. LINDSEY GRAHAM'S SUDDEN DEATH, DOCTORS SAY. (PHOTO).


 Aortic tear likely caused Sen. Lindsey Graham's sudden death, doctors say

An aortic dissection, the medical emergency that likely caused the sudden death of Sen. Lindsey Graham, is a life-threatening condition that can become fatal within minutes if not treated quickly.

The aorta is the body's largest artery, carrying oxygen-rich blood from the heart to the rest of the body. An aortic dissection occurs when a tear develops in the artery's inner lining, allowing blood to flow between its layers. This can reduce blood flow to vital organs and, in severe cases, cause the artery to rupture. The condition is often associated with an aortic aneurysm, a weakened section of the artery that bulges outward.

Major risk factors include high blood pressure, high cholesterol that contributes to hardened arteries, and smoking. While the condition is more common in older adults, certain inherited disorders can increase the risk in younger people.

A preliminary medical examiner's report released by Graham's office said the aortic dissection was related to hardened arteries.

Symptoms typically begin suddenly and include severe, sharp pain in the chest or back, though pain may also occur in the neck, jaw, or abdomen depending on the location of the tear. Other warning signs can include fainting, cold or clammy skin, stroke-like symptoms such as weakness on one side of the body, a rapid heartbeat, confusion, or signs of shock.

Prompt medical treatment is critical. Depending on the severity and location of the tear, surgeons may repair or replace the damaged section of the aorta to improve the chances of survival.
