Ed Sheeran announces new album, reveals wife had tumour during pregnancy

[ad_1]
Los Angeles: ‘Shape of You’ hitmaker Ed Sheeran is back with the latest installment of his mathematical albums.
With – (pronounced Subtract), he’ll cover a difficult period that spurred him to musically reflect on his “deepest, darkest thoughts”, reports ‘People’ magazine.
“I had been working on ‘Subtract’ for a decade, trying to sculpt the perfect acoustic album, writing and recording hundreds of songs with a clear vision of what I thought it should be. Then at the start of 2022, a series of events changed my life, my mental health, and ultimately the way I viewed music and art,” he said.
Her further mentioned, quoted by ‘People’, “Writing songs is my therapy. It helps me make sense of my feelings. I wrote without thought of what the songs would be, I just wrote whatever tumbled out. And in just over a week, I replaced a decade’s worth of work with my deepest darkest thoughts”.
“Within the space of a month, my pregnant wife got told she had a tumour, with no route to treatment until after the birth,” he continued of wife Cherry Seaborn, whom he welcomed a second daughter with in May of last year.
“My best friend Jamal, a brother to me, died suddenly and I found myself standing in court defending my integrity and career as a songwriter. I was spiralling through fear, depression and anxiety,” added the singer, 32, referencing a plagiarism lawsuit involving his song “Shape of You.” “I felt like I was drowning, head below the surface, looking up but not being able to break through for air.”
‘People’ further states that he added that this inspired him to put out an album that accurately represented what he was experiencing.
“It’s opening the trapdoor into my soul. For the first time I’m not trying to craft an album people will like, I’m merely putting something out that’s honest and true to where I am in my adult life,” he said. “This is last February’s diary entry and my way of making sense of it. This is ‘Subtract’”.

Hyderabad: Zambian woman suffering from rare tumour operated at KIMS

[ad_1]
Hyderabad: A middle-aged woman from Zambia, who was suffering from a very rare type of tumour called Paraganglioma, has been successfully operated upon at KIMS Hospital in Hyderabad.
Dr. Ramya Valiveru, an endocrine surgeon from KIMS Kondapur, successfully treated the patient by performing a complex surgery.
According to her, the occurrence rate of that Paraganglioma tumour is only two in one million population.
The doctor said, the patient was referred with primary complaints of severe fluctuating hypertension and uncontrolled giddiness. The government of Zambia referred her to the Endocrine Surgery department of KIMS Hospital Kondapur.
The patient had been suffering from severe recurrent headaches, episodes of anxiety, palpitations, and increased sweating for more than five years. She was evaluated in Zambia and was found to have a large 8.5×7.5 cm tumour in her abdomen.
“The tumour is a very rare type that was found to produce very high amounts of a hormone called noradrenaline. Also, the location of the tumour was in a critical zone, behind the large important vessels like Inferior Vena Cava and Aorta.
The blood vessels (veins) to both kidneys were travelling on the front of the tumour, the right kidney artery was travelling behind the tumour. All vessels were closely abutting the tumour,” explained Dr Ramya.
When the patient came to KIMS, she was noticed to have uncontrolled hypertension. She underwent extensive evaluation and optimal preparation for surgery. “Pre-operative preparation in such cases is the key to successful surgery.

Her endocrine control, hypertension control, and optimization were successfully done with alpha and beta blockade by Dr. Krishna Reddy, Consultant Endocrinology. Intra-operative fluctuations of BP and heart rate management is very challenging in this case.
According to Dr Ramya, surgery for Paragangliomas is different from the removal of other tumours. “The tumour can release hormones in a large quantity when touched, and cause a heavy load on the heart.
So, we had to perform the surgery so meticulously, and carefully handle the tumour, without damaging the kidneys and the great vessels.
The experienced team of anesthetists headed by Dr. Veera Bhadra Rao managed the patient during the surgery and the Postoperative Intensive care stay,” she said.
The patient had a smooth recovery in the post-operative period and has been discharged in stable condition.
