We cannot forget the elderly and the

have laid the foundation of our society.
Its their hard work, their love and

Passport Scam
FAKE Fijian passports were among
those of other nations seized in a
raid in Lahore in Pakistan two weeks
ago.
According to Pakistani media, the
country's Federal Investigation Agency
raided a printing press in Lahore and
seized equipment used for printing
fake passports.
The FIA team seized hundreds of
Pakistani, American, Fijian, Bruneian
and Cypriot passports from the
suspects along with American visas,
fake traveller's cheques valued at
hundreds of thousands of US dollars,
blank holographic images, stamps,
printing materials and printers.
But Immigration Minister Timoci
Natuva says Fiji is safe as the fake
passports could not be used to gain
entry into Fiji.
"Our passport has been quite technically
designed," Mr Natuva said.
"There is an electronic security feature

percent of ultrasound scans done
for other reasons. It usually starts in
middle age but now has even been
noted in children.
They add that in around 10 to 15 percent
patients it progresses to further stages
of liver damage ranging from Non
Alcoholic Steato-Hepatitis (NASH)
- which is essentially inflammation
of the liver - subsequently fibrosis
(scarring) and eventually cirrhosis.
So, how can the condition be best
treated?
"Regular exercise, brisk walk, proper
control of diabetes and obesity are
some measures. Surgery for obesity
also improves fatty liver. The current
best treatment of NAFLD and
nonalchoholic steatohepatitis is weight
reduction.
"Bariatric surgery is accepted as a
treatment for obesity and results in
better control of metabolic factors,
including diabetes, than does medical
therapy alone," Ashish Bhanot, senior
bariatric surgeon, Nova Specialty
Hospital, said.
Chowbey added that "in severely
obese people with fatty liver disease,
endosurgery (minimally invasive
surgery) is the only treatment known
for cure".
"The treatment is change in dietary
habits and exercise before irreversible
liver damage. Weight loss with a
healthy diet high in protein and low in
carbohydrate and fats is the key.
"Adequate management of diabetes,
hypertension are other factors. Stopping
alcohol is also a must as alcohol can
compound liver damage. For patients
who meet criteria for bariatric and
metabolic surgery, bariatric surgery
has been seen to cure NASH in over 80
percent of patients," said Singhal.
Suggesting precautionary measures,
he said a healthy diet, which is high in
proteins, low in carbohydrates and fats.
"Eat raw fruits. Avoid fruit juices, coke,
pepsi and other sugary drinks. Eat
three healthy meals and two healthy
snacks in between. Reduced alcohol
consumption not more than one to two
drinks, no more than once or twice a
month. Exercise daily for minimum 60
minutes. It doesn't have to be done at
one sitting," he said.
