CONTENT WARNING: GRAPHIC PICTURES Story from Jam Press (Swallowed Cup) Pictured: An x-ray shows the glass inside the man's stomach. Doctors remove WHOLE GLASS from man’s STOMACH who ‘swallowed cup while drinking tea’. Doctors have been left mystified after removing a whole glass from the stomach of a 55-year-old man – who claims he swallowed the cup while drinking tea. A surgical team operated on the man at a private hospital in Madipur in Bihar, India. The patient, from Vaishali, was admitted to the hospital with constipation and severe abdominal pain. He underwent an ultrasound and X-ray, where doctors found a “serious disturbance” in his intestines – which turned out to be a glass. Doctors struggled to remove the glass from the rectum with an endoscopic procedure, and later had to operate to remove it. The embarrassed patient claims he swallowed the glass while drinking tea – although doctors said this does not hold up due to the food pipe being too narrow for the object. Dr Mahmudul Hasan, who headed the team of doctors operating on the patient, said: “How the glass got inside the body of the said patient, it is still a mystery.” The patient is currently stable.

Story from Jam Press (Cannot Smile) Pictured: Taylor Clement at school aged 17 (L) and now (R). Woman born with extremely rare condition that means she can't SMILE becomes Instagram star Meet the woman born with a one in four million condition which means she can't smile. Tayla Clement, 24, from Christchurch, New Zealand, has spent her entire life unable to move her eyes from left to right, raise her eyebrows or her upper lip due to Moebius syndrome. She was born with the condition, which is characterised by weakening or paralysis of muscles in the face used to control expression and eye movements. The neurological disorder has no cure but the symptoms can be treated. "It’s not always been easy," Tayla, who has 18,400 followers on Instagram, told Jam Press. "I’ve spent many years hating my smile, wishing I had a 'normal' smile, wishing I just didn’t exist because that seemed easier than being alive, but by some miracle, I’m still here. "I now know I was born to stand out. "I was born to make a difference in this world and I know that whole-heartedly.   "My syndrome and not being able to smile is the greatest gift I could have ever been given, it has allowed me to already help and inspire so many people." Tayla underwent facial reanimation surgery aged 12 in the hope of restoring voluntary movement in her face. The corrective procedure – often referred to as a 'smile operation' – saw doctors transplant soft tissue from her thigh to both sides of her face, in a bid to grant her the ability to clench her mouth to mimic a smile. But the eight-hour procedure was unsuccessful and left devastated Tayla with a completely swollen and bruised face. Her condition saw her bullied throughout her time at school – where she was called "ugly" on a daily basis and claims to have had sheep poo thrown at her. The experiences saw her diagnosed with severe clinical depression and anxiety with PTSD and dissociative attacks at the age of 18. Tayla said:
