Manchester United midfielder <a href="https://www.wionews.com/sports/manchester-united-considering-january-reinforcements-with-pogba-mctominay-injured-271629">Paul Pogba</a> posted a series of bizarre videos on social media after undergoing ankle surgery on Tuesday before confirming the procedure had been successful.

Apparently still feeling the effects of the anaesthetic, Pogba posted videos on Instagram saying he was unsure if he was "high or sober" and that he was blessed to be alive, before talking about needing a haircut.

He later deleted the stories and replaced them with a shorter one in which he appeared less groggy.

"It's me I'm back. Everything went well. We have to keep the positive energy," the French World Cup winner said.

"You have to keep happy, so I'll put some music on and dance on one leg obviously... you know me you have to keep the smile."

Pogba, who has made only eight appearances in all competitions this season, has been repeatedly linked by British media with a move away from United but his agent <a href="https://www.wionews.com/sports/paul-pogba-must-put-his-head-down-focus-on-manchester-uniteds-pre-season-bryan-robson-236301">Mino Raiola</a> told Sky Sports last month that the midfielder would be staying at Old Trafford.

Pogba's recovery is expected to keep him out of action for up to four weeks. The 26-year-old was sidelined for three months earlier this season with another ankle injury.

United will host local rivals <a href="https://www.wionews.com/sports/fa-cup-solskjaer-needs-time-to-make-lasting-impact-at-manchester-united-guardiola-272687">Manchester City</a> in the first leg of the League Cup semi-finals later on Tuesday.

Manchester United's Pogba in high spirits after successful ankle surgery

It was a match in name only and the setting was a world away from the US&nbsp;Open that started on Monday but Andy Murray cared not a jot as he notched his first singles win since returning from career-saving hip surgery.

The 32-year-old former world number one crushed teenage French novice Imran Sibille 6-0, 6-1 to move into the second round of the Rafa Nadal Open Challenger tournament, barely perspiring on a sultry Mallorcan evening.

Murray, who had hip resurfacing surgery in January, opted against competing at Flushing Meadows, dropping down to the ATP's second-tier circuit for the first time since 2005 to continue his comeback. Big Apple it was not, but he was not slumming it.

The Rafa Nadal Academy on the edge of 18-time Grand Slam champion Nadal's home town of Manacor is a plush state-of-the-art facility backed by olive-green hills.

Word of Murray's late decision to accept an entry had spectators, many of them breaking off from the beach, packed in around the showcourt to watch the three-time Grand Slam champion's 42-minute hardcourt exhibition.

Sibille, who trains at the academy, has no ATP ranking and has earned $150 from tennis. He may look back on his clash with Murray as the highlight of his career.

For Murray it was a taste of the winning feeling, something he has not experienced in singles since January in Brisbane, shortly before a tearful first-round exit at the Australian Open when it appeared a flaking hip would end his career.

Far bigger tests of that metal-coated joint await, including on Tuesday when he faces third seed Norbert Gombos of Slovakia, the world number 115, but Murray is back.

Healing Muscles

"I need to get a bit quicker, and get a little bit more match fit before I'm back competing at that level again," Murray told reporters. "That's why I decided to drop down a level and try to get some more matches in.

"It's still only seven months since my surgery and I was told that nine to 12 months after you will still be seeing improvements, muscles will still be healing and recovering so hoping by the end of this year I will be feeling better."

Murray played in second gear throughout and even resisted the temptation to claim a "double bagel" when he casually netted a forehand in the 12th game to hand Sibille a game -- cue the biggest cheer of the evening.

While he was never stretched, Murray moved well, although he says improvements are required, especially when forced to change direction quickly.

The physical battle is not the only challenge, however. Regaining his old aura will be equally challenging.

Murray, who has 45 career titles to his name, 663 Tour match wins and more than $61 million in prize money, lost first round matches to Richard Gasquet and Tennys Sangdren in Cincinnati and Winston-Salem this month -- his first ATP singles matches in a comeback most notable so far for winning the doubles title at Queen's Club with Spain's Feliciano Lopez.

While 17-year-old Sibille admitted to not sleeping a wink after finding out he was playing Murray at 6pm the previous night, more grizzled opponents will not be intimidated.

"I do feel that it's something that can come back quickly," Murray, now ranked 328, said.

"Maybe the first few matches it's a good opportunity for guys to play me because I'm not playing as well or moving as well as I was a few years ago.

"But I'm hoping that all it will take is one big tournament to get that confidence and that aura back and hopefully that will happen sooner rather than later."

Andy Murray enjoys first singles win since hip surgery

Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro has beaten fever caused by pneumonia after his abdominal surgery two weeks ago, his hospital said Saturday.

The president, 63, "has no fever and has made good clinical and post-operative progress," Albert Einstein Jewish Hospital in Sao Paulo said in its daily update.

"His lung trouble has improved, and his lab test results show encouraging signs."

Since January 28, Bolsonaro has been in semi-intensive care in Sao Paulo following a procedure to remove his colostomy bag and reconnect the bowel.

He underwent an operation on January 28 to reconnect his bowel so he could resume natural waste evacuation. It was Bolsonaro's third operation since a man attacked him with a knife on the campaign trail.

The former army captain is a prolific user of social media, where he conducted large portions of his successful presidential campaign last year.

"I truly want to say thanks for the prayers of the majority of Brazilians," he said on Twitter.

"If it had not been for them, and for the skill of the experts who have helped me, in three surgeries over five months, I would not be alive."

Though he had hoped to leave hospital Wednesday, fever and other issues caused a delay. However, he is now able to eat soft foods again, in addition to liquids.

Officially, Bolsonaro has continued to run the country from his hospital bed.

Indian cardiologist performs world's first telerobotic surgery

Bangladeshi twins conjoined at birth have gone home nearly a year and a half after being separated in the country's first such successful operation, a doctor said Tuesday.

Two-year-old sisters Tofa and Tahura, joined at the spine and at the rectum, underwent a gruelling nine-hour operation in August 2017 conducted by a team of two dozen doctors.

"They were released from the hospital late Monday after their conditions improved," Shahnoor Islam, a paediatric surgeon who led the groundbreaking surgery, told AFP. &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;

"They can walk and also play like any other normal babies. They are on their way back home. But we'll observe them from time to time," she said.&nbsp;

Born to poor farmers, Tofa and Tahura who do not use a surname were brought to Dhaka from northern Gaibandha district, 260 kilometres (160 miles) from the capital.

Their mother, Shahida Begum, told AFP how happy she was.

"I have never thought they would be separated and live a healthy life. But thanks to Allah, we are now returning home with Tofa and Tahura no longer conjoined," Begum said.

The parents almost gave up hope of separating the twins after local doctors told them there were no experts in Bangladesh who could perform the operation and surgery in other countries would cost too much.

However, the surgical team which separated the twins was in fact Bangladeshi.&nbsp;

Begum had earlier vowed to send her daughters to Islamic seminaries if they grew up healthy.

"I didn't go to school as I got married early. But I want them to learn Islam and be very good human beings," she said.

Conjoined twins are rare and about half are stillborn. Almost all Bangladeshi conjoined twins fail to survive their infant years, surgeons have said.

In 2016, twin boys, who were joined at the torso and had been abandoned by their parents at the same hospital, died due to severe infections and complications.

In November 2015, conjoined twin girls born with two heads and two hearts and a single body attracted crowds of thousands. They died when they were just a week old.

<a href="http://www.wionews.com/south-asia/bhutanese-conjoined-twins-separated-at-australian-hospital-176375">Conjoined Bhutanese twins</a> successfully separated by a team of Australian surgeons are in a stable condition and recovering together in the same cot after their marathon surgery in Melbourne, officials say.

Fifteen-month-old Nima and Dawa -- whose names mean "Sun" and "Moon" -- and their mother Bhumchu Zangmo, arrived in Australia a month ago with the help of an Australian charity, but doctors had delayed the surgery to ensure the twins were well-enough nourished to survive the operation.

The team of more than 20 doctors and nurses spent six hours operating on the pair, who shared a liver, on Friday and said the following two days would be critical to their recovery.

A spokeswoman of Melbourne's Royal Children's Hospital said Saturday both were "in a stable condition" and recovering in a ward.

The twins were placed in separate beds after the procedure, but after waking up, they reached out for each other and a decision was made to put them in the same cot, Melbourne's Herald Sun newspaper reported Saturday.

The head of the charity Children First Foundation which raised money to bring the family to Australia said she was thrilled to see the twins so healthy.

"Nima lay on her back which was something she has never been able to do, but she reached out to find her sister... and Dawa has still been wrapping her leg around Nima," CFF chief executive Elizabeth Lodge told the Herald Sun.

"In a moment when they were both unsettled it was each other they reached for. Both of them independently did it.

"Seeing them reaching for each other is just heartwarming. The separation is not the biggest thing, it is just seeing them doing so well."

The hospital is expected to release updates on the twins' conditions over the next few days.

YouTube star Simone Giertz undergoes brain surgery

Alex Ferguson, the most successful manager in Manchester United's history, underwent emergency surgery on Saturday for a brain haemorrhage, the club said.

"The procedure has gone very well but he needs a period of intensive care to optimise his recovery," a statement said. "His family request privacy in this matter."

United captain Michael Carrick tweeted: "Absolutely devastated to hear about Sir Alex being unwell in hospital. All my thoughts and prayers are with him and his family. Be strong boss."

Ferguson's son Darren, the manager of Doncaster Rovers, was reported to have missed his team's match on Saturday for family reasons.

The 76-year-old was United manager from 1986 to 2013, winning the Champions League twice, the Premier League 13 times and five FA Cups.

He was knighted in 1999, the year United achieved a treble by winning those three trophies in one season.

He made his managerial reputation in his native Scotland with Aberdeen, winning three Scottish League titles and the European Cup Winners' Cup.

After taking Scotland to the 1986 World Cup following the death of Jock Stein, Ferguson joined United in November 1986 after Ron Atkinson was sacked.

It took three and a half years to achieve his first success with them, the FA Cup title in 1990.

Alex Ferguson, the most successful manager in Manchester United's history, underwent emergency surgery on Saturday for a brain haemorrhage

Alex Ferguson, the most successful manager in Manchester United's history, underwent emergency surgery on Saturday for a brain haemorrhage, the club said. "The procedure has gone very well but he needs a period of intensive care to optimise his recovery," a statement said. "His family request privacy in this matter." United captain Michael Carrick tweeted: "Absolutely devastated to hear about Sir Alex being unwell in hospital. All my thoughts and prayers are with him and his family. Be strong boss." Ferguson's son Darren, the manager of Doncaster Rovers, was reported to have missed his team's match on Saturday for family reasons. The 76-year-old was United manager from 1986 to 2013, winning the Champions League twice, the Premier League 13 times and five FA Cups. He was knighted in 1999, the year United achieved a treble by winning those three trophies in one season. He made his managerial reputation in his native Scotland with Aberdeen, winning three Scottish League titles and the European Cup Winners' Cup. After taking Scotland to the 1986 World Cup following the death of Jock Stein, Ferguson joined United in November 1986 after Ron Atkinson was sacked. It took three and a half years to achieve his first success with them, the FA Cup title in 1990. Sir Alex Ferguson has undergone surgery today for a brain haemorrhage. The procedure has gone very well but he needs a period of intensive care to aid his recovery. His family request privacy in this matter. Everyone at Manchester United sends our very best wishes. pic.twitter.com/SDoNzMwVEZ — Manchester United (@ManUtd) May 5, 2018 × From there he was unstoppable, quickly achieving his ambition to "knock Liverpool off their perch" as United became the team of the 90s and beyond.

Neymar arrives in Brazil ahead of foot surgery

Some people sit and wait for miracles, while others make them happen. Graham Smith, an engineer from England, is one such individual.

The Lancashire native had been left with a suture in his abdomen after a bowel operation that he underwent 15 years ago. Unfortunately, for the longest time, he didn&rsquo;t notice the stiches. In fact, it was in 2011 that he identified and then complained about the stitches protruding out of his body.

However, when he raised the issue with the hospital, he was put on a waiting list and then had two scheduled operations cancelled.

Suture is a a stitch or stitches holding together the edges of a wound or surgical incision. (Others)
</div>
<a class="close-mark close-div" href="javascript:void(0)" id="jqclosemark">&times;</a></div>

The 8-inch-long (20 cm) surgical stitches made it difficult for him to walk, often leaving him in severe pain. In an interview to the BBC, Graham said, &ldquo;I was reckless with the surgery but the pain made me desperate. I could see the stitches protruding out of my body.&rdquo;

Finally, he decided to devise his own set of DIY surgery tools, and went ahead to operate on himself. The tools he developed were adapted from titanium instruments, given to him by a friend, who works as dentist.

Given that he was undoing a surgeon&rsquo;s knot, Graham had to be extra careful. &ldquo;I needed to modify them to undo some of the stitches. I couldn&rsquo;t have just cut it off as it might have retracted and I would have been in real trouble. I had to undo them one by one,&rdquo; he told the BBC.

&ldquo;There was a bit of blood and it stung a bit, but I was confident in what I was doing,&rdquo; he recalled, adding that post the surgery, he now feels like a new man.

Upon learning of Graham&rsquo;s case, the hospital trust has advised patients to stick to clinical advice. That&rsquo;s something that Graham also concurs with: &ldquo;Anything could have gone wrong. Don&rsquo;t try this at home.&rdquo;
