Meet the woman with 40-year-old foetus inside
London: An 82-year-old Colombian woman, who was rushed to hospital after complaining of abdominal pains, was found to be carrying a 40-year-old foetus inside her.
The woman is suffering from a rare case of lithopaedion or “stone baby”, where the foetus does not develop in the uterus because it has moved elsewhere, the Daily Star reported.
Only one in 11,000 pregnancies develop into a “stone baby” and it is not unusual for women to be unaware of this as their bodies are shielded from the dead tissue. (ANI)
NYPD busts car thieves who stole over 300 luxury vehicles
New York: A band of 16 car thieves who allegedly stole over 300 luxury cars, including Bentleys and a Lamborghini, worth a whopping USD 15 million has been arrested in New York, police said.
The suspects stole cars the easy way — they got the keys, sometimes from unwitting owners who left their autos running while they ran into a store, other times by stealing them from car dealerships.
Sixteen of the 18 suspects were busted on Monday, New York Police said yesterday.
The thefts occurred in every borough except Staten Island, plus Nassau and Westchester counties, and Connecticut and New Jersey, New York Daily News reported.
The investigation started in Queens and will be prosecuted there, the report said. (PTI)
Formula for perfect Christmas dinner revealed
London: Scientists have come up with the formula for a perfect Christmas dinner.
Psychologists Dr David Lewis and Dr Margaret Yufera-Leitch said careful measuring may be the difference between feeling stuffed or pleasantly satisfied due to the best combo of protein and amino acids, carbohydrates and vitamins that are commonly found in Christmas dinner ingredients, the Daily Star reported.
According to Sensory Specific Satiety, the ideal serving must have 150g of white roast turkey meat, 110g of chestnut stuffing and 100g of gravy.
The perfect festive plate, devised with Aldi, must have 155g of steamed sprouts, 170g of carrots and 150g of red cabbage.
It’s also high in heart-healthy omega-3 fatty acids, thought to protect against heart disease, heart attacks and stroke, and safeguards against depression.
A 100g serving of roast turkey also has the recommended daily intake of the amino acid L-Tryptophan, credited with aiding sleep and lifting mood if eaten with carbohydrates, like potatoes.
After the main course Lewis and Yufera-Leitch suggest a 28g slice of Christmas pudding, a mince pie and a clementine should serve as dessert. (ANI)
