Popular Bangladeshi female rock singer Mila has suddenly fallen ill, due to a number of physical complications. Mila turned famous in Bangladesh following release of her debut album in 2007. Her album reached the top ten charts and remained at the position for months.
Mila is a household name today in Bangladesh, having established herself as a pop icon amidst the young music lovers in Bangladesh. Her songs and music videos showcase her vivacious personality, not to mention her courage and willingness to experiment. Her mother, a Nazrul singer, played a significant role in shaping up her interest towards music. From a very young age, Mila would watch her mother practice on the harmonium, which later on she picked up. Once she reached Class 5, however, because of academic pressure at school, she had to take a break from music practice. That did not take away her interest in music, however; instead, she grew stronger not only as a person, but also as a musician within. After getting done with her Class 10, Mila finally decided to pursue a career in singing and prepared herself to work hard for it.Being born and brought up in an army society, Mila moved all over Bangladesh all her life. From the age of three, music has been her passion and she took classical training from her gurus and mother who has been a Nazrul-geeti singer herself. After finishing her secondary school certificate exam, Mila decided to pursue a carrier in what has been her passion all her life. Her debut album was a huge hit and made her one of the most popular singers in Bangladesh.
Music critics always said, Mila was more a performer and dancer on the dais than a singer. They even alleged Mila for objectionable lyrics in her songs, as well as mostly use of pirated music loops from abroad.
"She merely rocked the audience with her seductive poses, which is surely very much unwelcome in Bangladeshi society", said one of her critics.
Mila has also been accused of vulgarity during performance as well as using slangs in her lyrics. Though her debut album made her well-known in Bangladesh, the society and music lovers has later declined to buy any further album of Mila. As a result, her second solo has been a grand flop. On the other hand, none of the music companies in Bangladesh were any more willing to release Mila's albums. But, because of her special zeal as a performer, Mila was always rocking audiences mostly in foreign countries on a regular basis. She has been one of the top ranking foreign currency earning singers from Bangladesh.
And the bad news for the Mila fans is, she has recently fallen seriously ill due to number of physical complications. According to a vernacular daily, Mila is suffering from Hepatitis-B as well as other physical ailments, including skin disorder.
Hepatitis B is an infectious illness caused by hepatitis B virus (HBV) which infects the liver of hominoidea, including humans, and causes an inflammation called hepatitis. Originally known as "serum hepatitis", the disease has caused epidemics in parts of Asia and Africa, and it is endemic in China. About a quarter of the world's population, more than 2 billion people, have been infected with the hepatitis B virus. This includes 350 million chronic carriers of the virus. Transmission of hepatitis B virus results from exposure to infectious blood or body fluids such as semen and vaginal fluids, while viral DNA has been detected in the saliva, tears ,and urine of chronic carriers with high titer DNA in serum. However, Hepatitis B viruses cannot be spread by casual contact, such as holding hands, sharing eating utensils or drinking glasses, breast-feeding, kissing, hugging, coughing, or sneezing.
The acute illness causes liver inflammation, vomiting, jaundice and rarely, death. Chronic hepatitis B may eventually cause liver cirrhosis and liver cancer—a fatal disease with very poor response to current chemotherapy. The infection is preventable by vaccination.
Hepatitis B virus is an hepadnavirus—hepa from hepatotrophic and dna because it is a DNA virus—and it has a circular genome composed of partially double-stranded DNA. The viruses replicate through an RNA intermediate form by reverse transcription, and in this respect they are similar to retroviruses. Although replication takes place in the liver, the virus spreads to the blood where virus-specific proteins and their corresponding antibodies are found in infected people. Blood tests for these proteins and antibodies are used to diagnose the infection. Transmission of hepatitis B virus results from exposure to infectious blood or body fluids containing blood. Possible forms of transmission include sexual contact, blood transfusions, re-use of contaminated needles & syringes, and vertical transmission from mother to child during childbirth. Without intervention, a mother who is positive for HBsAg confers a 20% risk of passing the infection to her offspring at the time of birth. This risk is as high as 90% if the mother is also positive for HBeAg. HBV can be transmitted between family members within households, possibly by contact of nonintact skin or mucous membrane with secretions or saliva containing HBV.
