REPORTAGE - Mexiko: Leben mit dem Prader-Willi Syndrome
Jose Angel Mendieta, a six-year-old Mexican boy, attends an ophthalmology consultation at the Federico Gómez Children's Hospital in Mexico City, Mexico on March 15, 2017. Jose Angel weighs 47 kilos (103.5 pounds) and stands 119 centimeters (3 feet 11 inches). He was diagnosed with Prader-Willi syndrome at age four, a process that took over two years. He lives with his mother. Prader-Willi Syndrome (PWS) is a rare genetic disorder caused by an abnormality in chromosome 15. In newborns symptoms include weak muscle tone (hypotonia), poor appetite and slow development. In childhood the person experiences a sensation of constant hunger no matter how much he/she eats which often leads to obesity and Type 2 diabetes. There may also be mild to moderate intellectual impairment and behavioral problems. Physical characteristics include a narrow forehead, small hands and feet, short in stature, and light skin color. Prader-Willi syndrome has no known cure. However, with early diagnosis and treatment such as growth hormone therapy, the condition may improve. Strict food supervision is typically required. PWS affects an estimated 1 in 10,000 to 30,000 people worldwide. (Photo by Bénédicte Desrus/Sipa USA) *** Local Caption *** 21272403

PEOPLE - Famke Janssens kleiner Hund wurde von einem Pit-Bull Terrier übel zugrichtet
*EXCLUSIVE* New York, NY - Famke Janssen's dog Licorice gets a lift as they return home together in the West Village in New York. Licorice was attacked by a pit-bull a while back and lost one of his eyes as a result. The adorable Boston Terrier appears to be doing better as he snuggles up in a big red hoodie on a chilly New York day.

Glass organs exhibition by Sigga Heimis and Corning Museum of Glass, Stockholm, Sweden - Nov 2013

Heart Of Glass: Artist Makes Body Organs From Glass
An artist has displayed her heart of glass as part of an exhibition of human body organs.
Icelandic designer Sigga Heimis has fashioned molten glass into immediately recognisable internal parts to raise awareness about organ donation.
Her current show at Designgalleriet in Stockholm includes colourful scale representation of organs ranging from the brain and lungs to the kidneys and stomach.
Sigga has been working on perfecting her glass organs since 2007 in a joint project with America-based Corning Museum of Glass.
It all started with a complete set of organ prototypes made at GlassLab at ArtBasel Miami in 2007. The collection is now larger and includes other human elements including giant eyeballs and blood cells.
Sigga explains: "Glass is a fascinating stuff. No other material has the qualities and characteristics of this amazing substance that so easily catches one's eye. We want people to notice an urgent social situation in our world when it comes to organ donation.
"There are simply too few individuals that donate their organs and the need is big. Can we use a fascinating material through channels of design to evoke attention to an urgent matter?"
Sigga wanted to use the body as a source of inspiration, employing the material metaphorically as something strong and fragile. She says the bodily objects can provide function as sculpture, lighting or as a table centerpiece.
To create the pieces, Sigga incorporated a variety of glass manipulation techniques including blowing, incalmo, and the use of hot-applied bits.
