Aviation Securities at the Lagos Airport have handed over a 29-year-old passenger, Ayemobola Mojadesola, and her mother to the police for allegedly conducting themselves in an unruly manner.

The arrested passengers were said to have inflicted a bodily injury on a staff member, (name withheld) of the Lagos airport.

It was gathered that the passenger had earlier lent a pen from the aviation worker but an argument ensued when the staff member later asked for the pen.

Eyewitnesses said the short argument became aggravated and both Mojadesola and her mother pounced on the aviation worker, injuring her in the face close to her eye socket. The passengers were also accused of destroying two laptops during the fracas.

Although inflammation serves a vital role in the body's defense and repair systems, chronic inflammation can cause more harm than good. And that may make you wonder: what can I do about it?

In fact, there's a lot you can do. And you may already be doing it. That's because some of the most important ways to fight inflammation are measures you should be taking routinely.

Let's take a look at key elements of fighting chronic inflammation: prevention, detection, and treatment.

Six ways to prevent unhealthy inflammation

Six of the most effective ways to ward off inflammation are:

Do you need tests to detect inflammation?

While testing for inflammation is not routinely recommended, it can be helpful in some situations. For example, tests for inflammation can help to diagnose certain conditions (such as temporal arteritis) or monitor how well treatment is controlling an inflammatory condition (such as Crohn's disease or rheumatoid arthritis).

However, there are no perfect tests for inflammation. And the best way to know if inflammation is present is to have routine medical care. Seeing a primary care physician, reviewing your medical history and any symptoms you have, having a physical examination, and having some basic medical tests are reasonable starting points. Such routine care does not typically include tests for inflammation.

How is inflammation treated?

At first glance, treating unhealthy, chronic inflammation may seem simple: you take anti-inflammatory medications, right? Actually, there's much more to it than that.

Anti-inflammatory medicines can be helpful to treat an inflammatory condition. And we have numerous FDA-approved options that are widely available — many in inexpensive generic versions. What's more, these medicines have been around for decades.

Yet relying on anti-inflammatory medicines alone for chronic inflammation is often not the best choice. That's because these medicines may need to be taken for long periods of time and often cause unacceptable side effects. It's far better to seek and treat the cause of inflammation. Taking this approach may cure or contain many types of chronic inflammation. It may also eliminate the need for other anti-inflammatory treatments.

For example, chronic liver inflammation due to hepatitis C infection can lead to liver scarring, cirrhosis, and eventually liver failure. Medicines to reduce inflammation do not solve the problem, aren't particularly effective, and may cause intolerable side effects. However, treatments available now can cure most cases of chronic hepatitis C. Once completed, there is no need for anti-inflammatory treatment.

Similarly, among people with rheumatoid arthritis, anti-inflammatory medicines such as ibuprofen or steroids may be a short-term approach that helps ease symptoms, yet joint damage may progress unabated. Controlling the underlying condition with medicines like methotrexate or etanercept can protect the joints and eliminate the need for other anti-inflammatory drugs.

The bottom line

Even though we know that chronic inflammation is closely linked to a number of chronic diseases, quashing inflammation isn't the only approach, or the best one, in all cases.

Fortunately, you can take measures to fight or even prevent unhealthy inflammation. Living an "anti-inflammatory life" isn't always easy. But if you can do it, there's an added bonus: measures considered to be anti-inflammatory are generally good for your health, with benefits that reach well beyond reducing inflammation.

A female prison officer has become a subject of police investigation after she was filmed having s+x with an inmate inside a cell at Britain’s second-biggest prison, in south London, United Kingdom.

The officer was captured in the over four minutes long video performing a l£wd act and having s+x with a prisoner as her discarded radio crackled with messages in the background.

The X-rated footage was filmed recently by another inmate and circulated among inmates using illegally-held phones, TheSun UK reports.

During the footage, the inmate filming the video joked: “This is how we live at Wandsworth.”

The footage shows the guard, on her knees, and performing a s+x act on an inmate, with his grey shorts pulled down.

A second inmate – seen on camera and apparently sm%king a “joint”- says: “This is a movie innit – g@ngsters online.”

The jail guard – who looks in her 20s and now no longer works for the prison service – then takes her black jail-issue trousers down and starts having s+x with the lag against the cell-door.

But the officer – understood to have quit when the video emerged – ignores the radio and continues r%mping with the well-built lag, who has white Nike socks and trainers still on.

The second con, with a beard, holds the suspicious cig@rette in view of his camera and says: “This is how we live at Wandsworth, bruv. Yeah.”

As the r%mping pair stand up, he adds: “No-one’s coming through by door, bro. I will fi¥ht them. No one’s coming – do your ting bro. You know we are family.”

The s+x tape comes after a report last month by HM Inspector of Prisons said Wandsworth – which holds more than 1,500 inmates – needs “urgent improvement” amid a surge in vi%lence.

The prison’s governor, Katie Price, resigned during the inspection which highlighted “systemic and cultural failures that stemmed from poor leadership”.
