A GREENOCK student has told how he was left numb with shock after his girlfriend was diagnosed with cancer just weeks after becoming unwell with a chest infection. Euan McLaughlin, 22, who is studying for a Masters in mechanical engineering at Strathclyde University, was stunned when partner Niamh Caitlin Edelsten, a trainee teacher, was told she had leukaemia. Niamh only began to feel unwell before Christmas, suffering from a persistent chest infection. Only a few weeks later doctors told her she had acute myeloid leukaemia. Euan, who lives with his family in Eldon Street, said: It was such a shock. The four days between Niamh being diagnosed and for the type of leukaemia to be confirmed, everyone, her whole family was in shock.
A total of 337 cases were recorded by NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde overnight. It comes as 1155 cases were identified in Scotland within 24 hours. Sadly, 70 further Covid-related deaths were also recorded. Around 96% of care home residents have received the first dose of the vaccine in Scotland, the Health Secretary has said. Standing in for the First Minister at the coronavirus briefing in Edinburgh, Jeane Freeman also said 68% of people over the age of 80 had received their first dose. Ms Freeman said the Scottish Government was “well on track” to hit its vaccination target of all over-80s by “early next week”.

Leading cancer experts at the University of Birmingham have solved a long-standing question of how various types of mutations in just one gene cause different types of diseases.
A team of scientists at the Universityâs Institute of Cancer and Genomic Sciences, led by Professor Constanze Bonifer, studied a gene known as RUNX1, which is responsible for providing instructions for the development of all blood cells and is frequently mutated in blood cancers.
The results of their research has shown that the balance of cells types in the blood is affected much earlier than previously thought, which is particularly important for families that carry the mutant gene.
