Goole motocross crash teen 'shocked' at extent of injury
Despite initially walking away from the incident, which saw him land on his head after crashing at speed, he collapsed and began fitting, prompting his concerned dad to call 999.Yorkshire Air Ambulance's Nostell-based critical care team arrived within five minutes and it was clear he had suffered a serious brain injury.Dr Tim Moll said: "When we saw Tyler, his arms were extended in a way that indicated potential severe brain damage, and I was really concerned."There's a type of head injury where someone can seem OK at first, but inside there is bleeding or swelling putting pressure on the brain and if it is not treated quickly, it can become fatal."The crew, which included paramedic Tammy Williams, began preparing to intubate Tyler so they could take control of his breathing.
During the 10-minute journey, Tyler's condition deteriorated, Dr Moll said, and he was taken straight into emergency surgery, where doctors discovered a bleed on his brain. He was placed on life support for three days and spent almost two weeks in hospital as he began the long road to recovery.Tyler said: "For a while, I couldn't go anywhere without my mum and dad in case I had a seizure, which was tough. "Now, I'm back at school and seeing my friends again, and that's what I was most excited for."Ms Williams added: "It's amazing to hear he's back at school and making such a positive recovery, that's the outcome we all hope for."The teenager will feature on an episode of the TV programme Yorkshire Air 999, which follows the Yorkshire Air Ambulance.

Why some pipo mouth dey smell bad and how to fix am?
Wetin dey cause bad breath? Around di world, one of di main causes of bad breath na periodontitis, also known as gum recession. "Half of di adult population go get some form of gum disease," na so Dr Praveen Sharma, associate professor of restorative dentistry for di University of Birmingham for di UK, tok to BBC What's Up Docs? programme. "You fit think of bad breath, objective bad breath as bad breath wey dey come from di oral cavity," e add, referring to di mouth. "Dat wan probably account for 90% of bad breath." Di oda 10% get oda causes. "Poorly controlled diabetes, go get a certain kind of breath," Dr Sharma tok. "If you get patients with gastrointestinal problems, gastric reflux, dem go get a kind of a sour breath. So, you go get systemic diseases wey dey manifest for di oral cavity." So, wetin pesin fit do about dis? If you no clean di bacteria wey dey settle between your teeth and gums, e fit lead to micro-wounds and subsequent bleeding gums. Dis na gingivitis, di early stage of gum disease, but di good news ne say e dey reversible. "Gingivitis na di inflammation of di gums and you go notice am as your gums go dey look red, swollen, and go dey bleed wen you brush," Dr Sharma tok. "Dat wan go progress to periodontitis" Check your gums for redness, swelling or bleeding while brushing, but no worry too much becos e still get time to take action. "One of di things wey patients dey do, is na say dem go instinctively avoid to brush di gums wey dey sore wen dem dey brush am, becoa eem go dey think: 'Oh, I dey do more damage, I dey do sometin wrong, dat na why e dey bleed,'" Dr Sharma tok. "E almost dey reversed - you suppose use bleeding gums as a sign to say: 'Oh, I need to brush a little bit better becos I miss am before.'" To request: Complete the translations here: Fill-in the commissioning form with this title in English: Gingivitis and periodontitis - 2025070203 Dr Sharma say you need to find time to brush properly. "You no wan to dey brush your teeth or clean your teeth while you dey do oda tins," e tok. Ideally you go need to dey stand in front of your mirror and focus properly. Many right-handed pipo unconsciously dey brush dia left side longer, and left-handed pipo dey brush dia right side longer, wey fit lead to more inflammation on di side wey dey receive less attention. Be aware of which hand you dey use brush and consciously try to brush both sides equally and carefully. Dr Shamra suggest starting with inter-dental cleaning first. "In terms of removing plaque and helping gum health, e better to use interdental brushes," e tok. After using interdental brushes e good to get a system wen moving your toothbrush in your mouth and no rush. Remember say each tooth get three surfaces: di outer, chewing and inner. All of dem need to be cleaned carefully. E fit come as a surprise to many, but di minimum time for brushing your teeth na two minutes. Many pipo brush by holding dia toothbrush at a 90-degree angle to di tooth and pressing back and forth, but dis method fit cause gum recession. Hold di toothbrush at about a 45-degree angle to di tooth and brush gently. Brush by directing di bristles toward di gum line on di lower teeth and upward toward di gum line on di upper teeth. Dis go help remove bacteria wey fit dey hide under di gum line. Many of us fit don learn say brushing your teeth after a meal na di right thing to do. But think again. "Ideally, you suppose brush bifor you chop your breakfast," Dr Sharma tok. "You no wan to brush after you don chop sometin acidic - e go get a softening effect on di mineral substance of di tooth, di enamel and di dentine." Di acid in food go cause di protective enamel on di surface of your teeth and di dentine underneath to soften, so brushing your teeth immediately after a meal fit damage your tooth enamel. "If you prefer to brush after you don chop your breakfast, then you suppose leave some time between your breakfast and brushing your teeth," Dr Sharma tok. You suppose rinse out your mouth and wait small. Also, while brushing your teeth for two minutes twice a day dey ideal, some pipo fit find am sufficient to brush properly once a day. Wen you sleep, your saliva flow dey decrease, wey go allow bacteria to do more damage to your teeth during di night. So, if you go clean your teeth thoroughly once a day, di best time to do so na for night. Use a toothbrush with medium stiffness bristles. Toothpastes no need to dey expensive. "Funny enof as long as e get fluoride inside," Dr Sharma tok, "I dey happy." Di minerals dey strengthen tooth enamel and make am more resistant to decay. After brushing, spit but no rinse to allow di toothpaste and fluoride to remain in di mouth to help prevent tooth decay. Mouthwash also dey worth using if you dey experience early signs of gum disease, as e dey help to reduce plaque and bacterial buildup. But no use am after brushing as e fit wash away di fluoride wey dey in di toothpaste. If gum recession (periodontitis) don dey progress, you go notice say spaces go begin form between di teeth, and as di bone wey dey hold di teeth dey erode, di teeth fit become loose. If dis condition no dey controlled, bone loss fit reach such a severe level wey be say di teeth fit fall out. You fit also experience persistent bad breath. If you experience all dis symptoms, see your dentist immediately. Finally, here na some quick tips to freshen your breath: - Drink plenty of water becos bacteria fit grow wen your mouth dey dry. - Clean your tongue with a tongue scraper. Dis one dey remove food particles, bacteria, and dead cells dem wey fit lead to bad breath. - If you no dey sure of how fresh your breath dey, leave am to a friend or family member to check for you. But be sure to choose carefully who you ask o! Adapted from BBC's What's Up Docs podcast episode dated 29 April 2025.

Worcestershire waiting list for SEN children remains high
Children in Worcestershire are waiting longer than two years to be assessed for autism and ADHD, new figures have lists for a number of special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) services remain high, a year after Ofsted inspectors highlighted an "unacceptable" wait county councillors have been told the number of children waiting has risen since September 2024, and now sits at 7, NHS Herefordshire and Worcestershire Integrated Care Board (ICB) is investing £2.6m to improve SEN provision, with £1.2m to tackle neurodivergence assessments involving children who have waited longer than two years. Last year's Ofsted report indicated that children and young people with SEN in Worcestershire "wait an unacceptable time to have their needs accurately identified, assessed and met".Authorities were told to address the delays in community paediatrics, occupational therapy, physiotherapy and neurodevelopmental assessments, and to improve the support available while children wait. 'Not moving in right direction' Neurodivergent conditions include autism, ADHD, dyslexia and Johnston, director of children's services in Worcestershire, said despite the efforts being undertaken, "waiting lists still remain a matter of concern"."The reality is the numbers are still not moving in the right direction," he told the council's children and families overview and scrutiny said Ofsted and the CQC would likely be back in October to carry out follow-up panel was told there were 7,500 children with education, health and care plans (EHCPs) in the Johnston said: "We need to try something else as well as opposed to - instead of – other methods we can have in place that focus on children's needs."

Swollen breasts, rounded tummy… being pregnant makes me feel hornier than EVER – do I have a kink?
1 DEAR DEIDRE: MY rounded stomach and enlarged breasts make me feel hornier than ever and whenever I'm pregnant, I can't get enough of my boyfriend. We've had three children in quick succession and I'm itching to get pregnant again but he is doing his best to avoid me in the bedroom. At first he loved the fact I was insatiable. We went from having sex around twice a month to at least twice a day once those pregnancy hormones kicked in. I'd never experienced anything like it and really enjoyed feeling so incredible. When I'm pregnant, all he needs to do is look at me and I'll be tearing off his clothes. Whenever I'm expecting, I make sure we have sex before we get out of bed in the morning - even a quickie will tide me over. He used to say that my high sex drive makes him feel so good, invincible even. He lapped up my higher libido when I was pregnant with our first, the second time he was happy enough to go along with my requests, but by my third pregnancy I could see he was flagging. Whenever I hint that I like to start having 'baby sex' again, he looks horrified. Every time I try to make a move on him, he either has a bad back, feels knackered, or he hops out of bed making up excuses that he can hear one of the children. I'd love to have at least one more baby - to have those curves and sensitive nipples for a last time - but I'm getting the distinct impression he is avoiding it. Last night I started stroking his back and he snapped at me saying my pregnant fetish was off putting. After snarling that I needed to give it a rest he stropped off to the spare room. I feel so rejected. Have I got a fetish? I never thought of it like that. Dear Deidre on relationships, jealousy and envy DEIDRE SAYS: It isn't uncommon for women to have an increase in sexual desire when they are pregnant. As you rightly say, it's the increased levels of oestrogen and progesterone that are responsible for intensifying your sexual desire. Pregnancy also brings an increase in blood flow, in particular to the pelvic area, which can accentuate arousal. Add to that the physical changes that come with pregnancy, like engorged breasts and many women feel like they have a one track mind - full of sexual desires only. Your boyfriend is avoiding intimacy with you and you don't understand why. So it's definitely time to talk to him about how he's feeling. He may be worried about having a fourth child from an energy level or financial perspective. You have three young children already and it's very common for couples to feel distanced from each other as they prioritise their children's needs. So make sure you are making quality time for each other - time to properly talk and find out what is going on in each other's lives. Fetishes might sound like an extreme label, but many people have them and a pregnancy fetish is common. All it means is that you really enjoy sex while pregnant which is nothing to be ashamed of. My support pack Kinks And Fetishes explains more. Dear Deidre's Pregnancy Problems Deidre's mailbag is bursting with pregnancy predicaments. One woman is expecting a baby with her ex while still sleeping with her husband. Another man got his girlfriend pregnant after a threesome and now wonders if the baby is even his. And one reader fears she's just a rebound after falling pregnant by a new boyfriend who still has feelings for the mother of his other child. PREGNANCY AND DESIRE: A CLOSER LOOK A pregnancy fetish — also known as maiesiophilia — involves sexual attraction to someone who is pregnant, or to the idea of pregnancy itself. Like many kinks, it varies widely from person to person. For some, the appeal is physical: the shape of the body, fuller breasts, or the natural glow associated with pregnancy. For others, it's more psychological — linked to ideas of fertility, vulnerability, or dominance and possession. In heterosexual dynamics, it can be about impregnation — the act of 'breeding' someone — which ties into power and fantasy. In other cases, the pregnancy itself is not the goal, but a symbol: of transformation, femininity, or taboo. Pregnancy content is increasingly visible on adult platforms, and some performers cater specifically to this fetish — posting photos or videos while visibly pregnant, or roleplaying pregnancy scenarios using prosthetics. Like many fetishes, it becomes problematic only when it crosses the line into non-consensual behaviour. Fetishising a stranger's pregnancy without consent — especially in public — can feel invasive or objectifying. It's essential to approach these desires with empathy, boundaries and open communication.
