Dr Vanessa van der Linden, a Recife neuro-paediatrician, was the first doctor to spot the outbreak of micro cephaly in 2015. Having seen the calcifications it caused in brain scans, she anticipated children would be born with problems like visual impairment and epilepsy – which she found in 60-70% of patients in the first year. The seizures cause children like Graziella to forget things like swallowing. Hydrocephalus – the build-up of liquid on the brain – was a surprise. Most children diagnosed at the peak of the crisis are now two; many have never spoken a word nor taken a step. More than half have no interaction between their eyes and their brain, Van der Linden says. As rightly predicted by Dr Vanessa van der Linden, most children with microcephaly ain't living but existing, deprived of the joy of living. one of such example is Alice Bezerra, who was born in October 2015 with microcephaly,she had a feeding tube inserted into her stomach after struggling to gain weight.

Arsenal manager, Arsene Wenger, has blamed his side finishing outside the top four places in the Premier League, on a bad spell during the season. The Gunners will play in the Europa League next term, despite winning 3-1 at home against Everton in their final league fixture. Liverpool’s 3-0 win over Middlesbrough and Manchester City’s 5-1 crushing of Watford, means Wenger’s men miss out of playing alongside Europe’s elite for the first time in 20 years. “It is annoying but we had a spell during the season that was difficult and it was difficult for me in my personal situation. We were playing in a hostile environment. The players came back stronger in the last two months and I’m very proud of them for doing that. “I was focused on my job. I am professional. I love this club enough to do my best every single day. One thing you cannot question is my love for this club. I’ve turned down every club in the world to stay here,” Wenger said after Sunday’s game.
