Sep 18 2024 Share

In a recent episode of The Fellas podcast, released just a few hours ago, YouTube superstar and DJ, Vikkstar, sat down with hosts Calfreezy and Chip to share some exciting updates, with one of the them being his gig in Malta, a destination close to his heart, which coincidentally fell on the anniversary of his wedding.

Vikkstar singled out Gianpula Main Room, calling it “the” spot in Malta. As a frequent visitor to the island, Vik praised not only the club, but also the vibrant culture and people that make every visit special. “You actually meet a lot of people from the place… that’s one of my favourite bits, it’s like you see the behind-the-scenes of the show, the people working there, the people that live there,” he shared during the podcast.

Known for his strong presence as part of the YouTube supergroup Sidemen, Vikkstar has also carved out a successful career as a DJ, collaborating with massive artists like Afrojack, Steve Aoki and Alan Walker, the latter of which also performed at his wedding. During the podcast, Vikkstar also gave some props to the local DJs on the line-up ahead of the gig.

His deep connection to Malta and Gianpula Main Room only adds to his passion for the island – fuelling anticipation for his next Malta gig, whenever that may be. 👀

Saudi Arabia Surgeons Perform 1st Fully Robotic Heart Transplant

SURGEONS IN SAUDI ARABIA PERFORM 1ST FULLY ROBOTIC HEART TRANSPLANT
Sep 18 2024 Share

A heart team at King Faisal Specialist Hospital and Research Center (KFSHRC) in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, has made history by completing the world’s first fully robotic heart transplant.

The groundbreaking procedure, lasting about two and a half hours, was performed on a 16-year-old patient with end-stage heart failure.

The patient was chosen partly due to his request that his chest not be opened for the surgery.

Led by cardiac surgeon Dr. Feras Khaliel, the team practiced the complex procedure seven times over three days to prepare.

KFSHRC emphasised that robotic heart transplants, while less invasive than traditional methods, offer significant benefits. These include faster recovery times, reduced risks of complications, and improved overall quality of life for patients.

Majid Al Fayyad, CEO of KFSHRC, compared this achievement to the first heart transplants of the 1960s, crediting the hospital’s success to the support of visionary leadership focused on advancing healthcare.

He highlighted the importance of this breakthrough in enhancing healthcare services both locally and globally.

The young patient is currently recovering well, with no major complications reported, marking a new era in heart transplant procedures.
