Seven-year-old Jessica Gaude differs greatly from her pals. With 222 kilograms, she is the fattest child in the world. She eats 10,000 calories each day in Coca-Colas, 15 hamburgers with fries and several kilograms of chocolate. What she eats in one day some children eat in half a year. Her breakfast consists of white bread, potato chips and two litres of coke. And she wants more. When she last visited the doctor four years ago she had 110 kilograms. Unfortunately, she can no longer run and instead of walking she drags herself on the floor. Under such bodily weight her bones have already become distorted.

In the first week after she was born, when the baby cried because of stomach pains, the mother calmed her by feeding her with a bottle because she thought the child was hungry. “I gave her the bottle and she wanted more and more.

Sain Mumtaz (DCL) Giant Head Sain Mumtaz has the most extraordinary head – but what is causing its extreme growth and how Sain might be treated is a total mystery.

But Proteus is renowned for affecting only one side of the body, to the trained eye the symmetrical deformity of Sain’s face and skull suggests he is probably suffering from a different condition– but which of the many rare congenital dysmorphologies could it be? Sain’s family sought no medical intervention for their son throughout his childhood, but now Sain is 18, and he wants to know what is wrong with him, and whether anything might be done to improve his day-to-day life. He has hopes for his future, one day he would like to run a rickshaw business, but he sees no place for marriage in his life. He believes that he is the way he is because God has cursed him. It’s for him and him alone to bea

nowBuzz up! Brooke Greenberg - Girl frozen in time may hold key to ageing Brooke Greenberg (born January 8, 1993), is a now 17 year old girl from Reisterstown, Maryland, who has remained physically and cognitively similar to a toddler, despite her increasing age. She is about 30 inches (76 cm) tall, weighs about 16 pounds (7.3 kg), and has an estimated mental age of 9 months to 1 year. Brooke's doctors have termed her condition Syndrome X. American scientists are keenly studying the DNA of a 17-year-old girl who still has the body and behaviour of a baby Brooke Greenberg Brooke - 17 years (left) and sister Carly - 14 years (right) Scientists are hoping to gain new insights into the mysteries of ageing by sequencing the genome of a 17-year-old girl who has the body and behaviour of a tiny toddler. Brooke Greenberg is old enough to drive a car and next year will be old enough to vote — but at 16lb in weight and just 30in tall, she is still the size of a one-year-old. Until recently

ગેલેલિયોની બે આંગળિઓ અને દાતનું ફ્લોરેન્સ નામના મ્યુઝિયમમાં પ્રદર્શન કરવામાં આવનાર છે. આ મ્યુઝિયમને બે વર્ષ માટે બંધ કરી દેવામાં આવ્યું હતું. શુક્રવારે ફરીથી આ મ્યુઝિયમનું ગેલેલિયો મ્યુઝિયમ નામકરણ સાથે ઉદ્ઘાટન કરવામાં આવશે. 1737માં ગેલેલિયોના મૃત્યુ બાદ તેના શબમાંથી તેના અંગુઠાને અને તેની વચલી આંગળીને કાઢી લેવામાં આવી હતી. આ સિવાય ગેલેલિયોની અન્ય આંગળીને આ મ્યુઝિયમમાં વર્ષોથી સંઘરવામાં આવી છે. ઉપરાંત ગેલેલિયો જ્યાં 20 વર્ષ સુધી ભણાવતો હતો તે યુનિવર્સિટી ઓફ પાદુઆમાં ગેલેલિયોના કમરનો મણકો સાચવવામાં આવ્યો છે. મ્યુઝિયમમાં ગેલેલિયોના જે નવા અવશેષો મુકવામાં આવનાર છે તે ગુમ થઇ ગયા હતા. જો કે એક હરાજીમાં તેને પાછા મેળવવામાં આવ્યાં હતાં
