Only person in world with allergy has to be fed through his heart
Finley Ranson, 14, has a rare digestive condition that has yet to be named - his body treats most food as a foreign object and he has to be fed lipids directly into his heart to keep him alive A teenager is living with a 'heartbreaking' digestive disorder that forces him to go to hospital twice a week. Finley Ranson first captured media attention as a toddler, due to his body's ability to digest only one type of food. The 14 year old's allergy prohibits him from consuming most foods. When he does eat, his body perceives it as an alien substance and launches an attack on his digestive system, leading to internal bleeding. It's thought that he's the only person in the world with this condition, which is so rare, it doesn't yet have a name. Currently, he undergoes twice-weekly six-hour sessions at Broomfield Hospital in Essex, where lipids – fatty compounds or oils – are injected directly into his heart to sustain his life. "It's heartbreaking at times," his mum, Rhys Wiseman, 37, confided to NeedToKnow. "People don't see what Finley goes through day-to-day. They see the happy, chirpy young man, but psychologically, he goes through a lot." "The emotional impact has been very tough. He's missed so much time at school due to hospital and illness. Normal things like holidays are tricky, as he has to be in hospital twice a week. "People don't see what Finley goes through day-to-day. "But he has so much great support around him. " Rhys had "no warning signs" after giving birth to Finley. She realised something was wrong when he kept reacting "horrifically" to breast milk. He would scream constantly, didn't sleep, put on any weight and was generally very unsettled. After Rhys transitioned Finley to a free-from diet and hypoallergenic formula, his condition deteriorated, culminating in over 20 operations at GOSH as doctors sought clarity on his mysterious ailment. The medical experts eventually opted for a very uncommon solution: to nourish Finley intravenously through his heart, circumventing his gastro system entirely. Remarkably, Finley still enjoys helping out in the kitchen despite his inability to eat. Rhys explained: "He's always helped cook, we go to restaurants and each year, he has a birthday cake. "He might not be able to eat it, but it's to give some normality as everyone else. There's no one else that we know of that has lipids infused directly in this way. And there isn't a name for what he has, so we call it 'Finley-itis. "Who knows, there may be a time when he is able to tolerate fat. "But if not, we just carry on with what our 'normal' is and go from there. "People don't see what Finley goes through day-to-day. He's remarkable. The most loveable boy who wants to help other people because of what he's gone through. I'm so proud of him." Presently, alongside the unique lipid infusion, Finley's regimen includes a three-times-daily cocktail of carbohydrates, proteins, vitamins, minerals, and electrolytes delivered to his stomach. His extraordinary medical case is due to be documented in a scientific journal. Dr Manas Datta, a consultant paediatrician at Broomfield Hospital who has known Finley since he was born, said: "Finley's condition is unique; we have never encountered a case like this before. "Finley has shown remarkable courage throughout his treatment, and we are committed to ensuring that he can thrive and live life to the fullest." Over the years, Finley and his family have raised £30,000 for the Mid and South Essex Hospitals charity and a further £10,000 for Great Ormond Street Hospital (GOSH). He was this weekend set to take on an abseiling challenge down the tower block at Southend Hospital as a heartfelt thank-you to the team who've cared for him, with a goal to hit his £25,000 fundraising target.

Sidra inks research, education, children's health agreement with Great Ormond Street Hospital
Tribune News Network Doha Sidra Medicine, a member of Qatar Foundation, has signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with Great Ormond Street Hospital for Children NHS Foundation Trust (GOSH), one of the world's leading paediatric hospitals. The agreement focuses on collaboration across key areas of clinical service, research, and education in children's health. The MoU was signed by Dr. Iyabo Tinubu-Karch, chief executive officer of Sidra Medicine, and Matthew Shaw, chief executive officer of GOSH, in the presence of Duncan Hill, the British Deputy Ambassador to Qatar. The partnership outlines a multi-year framework aimed at advancing treatment pathways for rare paediatric diseases, including the development and application of gene therapies. It will also enhance joint capabilities in clinical trial design and implementation, helping to drive progress in personalised paediatric medicine. Dr. Iyabo Tinubu-Karch, CEO of Sidra Medicine, said: 'Our MoU with Great Ormond Street Hospital reflects our forward-looking vision to integrate global expertise into localised care models. With GOSH, we are building a knowledge bridge that will enhance clinical practice and drive the next wave of paediatric innovation with measurable impact on patient care.' The alliance will create a coordinated referral system to facilitate timely access to advanced laboratory testing, ensuring specialized care for children with complex conditions, including genetic disorders and rare diseases. This streamlined approach will also improve diagnostic efficiency and support the creation of personalized treatment plans. Matthew Shaw, CEO of GOSH, said: 'What we are building together with Sidra Medicine will strengthen paediatric health systems for the future by leveraging expertise in clinical care, research, data and innovation, and education and training. By combining our expertise, we are not only supporting current clinicians but also laying the foundation for a more connected, resilient, and equitable model of global child health.' Under the agreement, both institutions will roll out education and skills exchange initiatives to support the next generation of healthcare professionals. This includes pathways for physicians, nurses, allied health staff, through international fellowships, observerships, and training programmes. Prof. Ibrahim Janahi, chief medical officer at Sidra Medicine, said: 'Sidra Medicine's partnership with GOSH creates valuable opportunities for training, fellowships, and medical education, bringing together professionals from diverse backgrounds and specialties. Our joint efforts will foster innovation, strengthen clinical skills as well as our medical education programmes. 'This will help us develop a more knowledgeable and future-ready paediatric healthcare workforce, which will also ultimately improve how we provide paediatric care services.' The MoU with GOSH also aligns with Sidra Medicine's Clinical Trials Programme, which focuses on the development of effective treatments for paediatric rare diseases. Prof. Khalid Fakhro, chief research officer at Sidra Medicine, said: 'Sidra Medicine's unique genetic data on Arab populations, combined with GOSH's advanced secure data environment, world-class clinical and research expertise, creates a powerful opportunity to develop region-specific diagnostic tools and clinical trials. By partnering with GOSH, Sidra Medicine aims to accelerate access to state-of-the-art therapies and expertise necessary to improve outcomes for all our patients.' By aligning clinical pathways, innovation, education, and research and through knowledge and skills exchange, Sidra Medicine and GOSH are laying the foundation for a future where children everywhere have access to more precise, effective, and inclusive healthcare solutions.
