Aug 19 2024

A team of Maltese doctors and nurses at Mater Dei Hospital, led by Maltese medical consultant Edward J. Despott, successfully performed a groundbreaking procedure, the first of its kind in Malta.

Prof. Despott, an internationally recognized expert in endoscopic intervention, credits his passion for science to his father, who was a physics teacher. He currently leads the endoscopy section at the Royal Free Hospital, one of the largest teaching hospitals in Central London.

Prof. Despott’s expertise also lies in therapeutic colonoscopy, transnasal upper GI endoscopy, inflammatory bowel disease and its’ related complications.

TVM News managed to speak to Despott, who following the procedure stated “I am very happy….for the first time in Malta, I carried out this procedure which I myself developed recently at the Royal Free in London.”

Speaking to TVM News, he revealed that this groundbreaking procedure featuring the immersion therapeutic saline endoscopy or site, allows doctors to remove big warts with an instrument without the need of great surgeries.

Prof. Despott was appointed as a visiting consultant at Mater Dei Hospital to continue performing this procedure, with Maltese specialists also receiving training in the process.

He thanked all of the nurses and doctors for the invitation and stated that he was honored to carry out the procedure at Mater Dei.

In recognition of his achievements, the Maltese State honored him with the National Order of Merit last December.

Domestic Club Football Is Finally Back

Aug 19 2024

Domestic club football has finally returned after the summer break, marking the start of the 2024/25 season across Europe and beyond.

Leagues which started last weekend include the English Premier League, Italian Serie A, Spanish La Liga and Malta’s very own new and reformed Maltese Premier League.

In England there were no shocking surprises with the big teams all winning their first games. Manchester United had new star striker Joshua Zirkzee to thank as the Dutchman managed to find a winner against Fulham in the dying minutes of the game, whilst reigning champions Manchester City managed to comfortably beat rivals Chelsea with a 2-0 score.

Arne Slot, Liverpool’s new manager managed to become the first Liverpool manager in the 21st century to win his first Premier League match beating newly promoted Ipswich whilst title contenders Arsenal beat Wolves, 2-0, to kickstart their season.

The Serie A saw many surprises with reigning champions Inter Milan only managing a 2-,2 draw away to Genoa, thanks to a mistake by keeper Yann Sommer and clumsy hand ball by rookie defender Yann Aurel Bisseck.

AC Milan had to fight back from 2-0 down against Torino to salvage a draw, while Napoli’s new hothead manager, Antonio Conte, had a disastrous start, losing 3-0 to Hellas Verona.

It was also a league debut to forget for Kylian Mbappe as his star studded Real Madrid side only managed a 1-1 draw away to Mallorca whilst historic rivals Barcelona edged out a 2-1 win away to Valencia.

The Maltese Premier League also kicked off with its new and unique format. Ħamrun, Sliema, and Gżira all started with wins, while last season’s runners-up, Floriana, were held to a thrilling 3-3 draw against newly promoted Melita.

Finally, it was a weekend to forget for Cristiano Ronaldo and Al Nassr, as they were soundly defeated 4-1 by rivals Al Hilal in the Saudi Super Cup final
