Dartford mother-of-three died after liposuction in Turkey

A woman who died after having liposuction in Turkey had been fed up with people asking if she was pregnant, an inquest heard.

 

Abimbola Ajoke Bamgbose, 38, of Dartford, Kent, died in August after having the treatment in Izmir.
Husband Moyosore Olowo said he believed she was on holiday with friends until she called to say she was in pain.
He went to Turkey after she stopped calling and found she had been rushed to hospital for more surgery.
Mrs Bamgbose, who also had a Brazilian butt lift, died there two weeks later, the inquest in Maidstone heard.

Mr Olowo, a rail safety officer, said his wife paid £5,000 for the package with Mono Cosmetic Surgery as UK treatment was too expensive.

Describing why she wanted it, he said: "When a woman is unhappy and getting feelings about her looks, the clothes she buys do not fit and people ask if she is pregnant because of her tummy, sometimes there is nothing we can do. We are powerless.

"I wasn't concerned. I told her 'you have three children'. I told her my tummy is bigger than hers."
He said his wife, a social worker who graduated with a first-class degree, was "as near perfection as it's possible to be".
Mr Olowo said the medical director in Turkey "confessed it had been a mistake".
Assistant coroner Alan Blundson recorded a narrative conclusion, and said: "This is a tragic case, the more so because
the surgery was elective cosmetic surgery.

Brazil’s first homemade satellite will put an extra eye on dwindling Amazon forests

     The fate of Brazil’s satellite program — and the country’s capacity to monitor disappearing Amazon forest — will be decided in 17 minutes and 30 seconds on February 28. That’s the time it will take to launch Amazonia-1, the first satellite entirely developed by the country. If the mission goes well, Brazil will join about 20 countries that have managed the whole chain of design, production, and operation of a satellite. Amazonia-1 will give researchers more frequent updates on deforestation and agricultural activity in the world’s largest tropical rainforest. Nevertheless, other challenges await, since Brazilian scientists deal with increasing cuts in research funding.

    The satellite represents “a milestone for Brazil,” says Adenilson Silva, an engineer at Brazil’s National Institute for Space Research (INPE) who leads the mission and will oversee the launch at the Indian space center on the island of Sriharikota. The satellite’s development, which began in 2008, has involved more than a dozen Brazilian companies and an investment of 360 million reais ($60 million) — about one-sixth what it would cost to import ready-to-use equipment, Silva says. Amazonia-1 is the first of three Amazon-monitoring satellites INPE aims to build with the same manufacturing platform.

    The new satellite is a 2.5-meter-long metallic cuboid weighing 640 kilograms. It’s loaded with 6 kilometers of cables and three wide-angle cameras capable of detecting any area of deforestation bigger than four soccer fields. A planned launch in 2018 was postponed because of a lack of funding and delays in the supply of key components from collaborating companies.
