REPORTAGE - Mexiko: Leben mit dem Prader-Willi Syndrome
Jorge lies on a hospital bed during a polysomnographic examination at the Salvador Zubirán National Institute of Health Sciences and Nutrition in Mexico City, Mexico on May 31, 2017. Polysomnography (PSG), a type of sleep study, is a test used to diagnose sleep disorders. Sleep disturbance is common among patients with Prader-Willi syndrome independent of age and weight. Jorge Antonio Moreno Gaytán, a 34-year-old Mexican man, lives with his parents in Puebla, Mexico. He was diagnosed with Prader-Willi syndrome at age seven. He weighs 136 kilos (300 pounds) and stands 152 centimeters (4 feet 12 inches). Jorge is in the process of getting bariatric surgery. As a teenager, he would pawn his siblings’ belongings in order to have money to buy food. He was also known to leave restaurants without paying. “Our worst enemy is hunger, it’s what will kill us”, Jorge says. He is now part of a sports team for people with disabilities. He has been in a relationship for 11 years with, Maria Guadalupe Pilar Saucedo Granda, known as “Lupita’, also diagnosed with Prader-Willi syndrome. 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 *** 21272648

Researching the moving rocks of Racetrack Playa, California, America - 11 Aug 2010

This is a Hygrochron sensors. Sensors were buried at different depths to see how the temperature and moisture levels in the ground changed close to and farther from the surface.
The Mystery of the Moving Rocks
It's a puzzling sight that the world of science has never found a conclusive answer for - rocks that seemingly move across the plains of California.
Since the 1940s researchers have documented trails left from the movement of boulders on so-called playas, or dry lakes, in Death Valley.
Amazingly, rocks as big as 700 pounds have been subject to the unexplained phenomena that sees them seemingly glide over the parched landscape - even changing direction on their path.
Some rocks travel in pairs, leaving two tracks perfectly in synch along straight stretches and around curves. Others seem undecided about direction and travel back and forth. sometimes travelling the length of several football fields.
Most cases see the trails leading to resting rocks, but in others they have disappeared.
Now a team of seventeen undergraduate and graduate students from the Lunar and Planetary Sciences Academy (LPSA) at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center have begun an investigation.
They travelled to the Racetrack and nearby Bonnie Claire playas this summer to investigate how these rocks move across the nearly empty flats.
"When you see these amazing rocks and trails," says Mindy Krzykowski, an intern from the University of Alaska in Fairbanks, "you really get into coming up with your own ideas about what's going on."
For each rock and trail the students recorded GPS coordinates and took photographs. They also dug up small sensors called Hygrochrons buried three months earlier by one of the trip leaders. From these, the interns were able to capture the electronically stored temperature and humidity dat...
