World's longest hairball removed from teen's stomach at SMS Hosp
Photo/Agencies JAIPUR: The SMS Hospital doctors surgically removed a 210-centimetre-long trichobezoar (a collection of hair) from the stomach of a 14-year-old girl, a resident of Barara village in Agra district of Uttar Pradesh, on Tuesday. It is believed to be the longest trichobezoar ever recorded in the world. The previous record stood at 180 cm. The trichobezoar was entangled throughout the small intestine, which made the surgery a challenging task. Removing it in one piece was a major challenge, as breaking it could have necessitated multiple incisions in the intestines. In the operation, which lasted about two hours, and notably, no blood transfusion was required, the doctors managed to remove trichobezoar in one piece. The girl was brought to the SMS hospital with complaint of abdominal pain and vomiting for over a month. Upon examination, doctors found a hard mass in her abdomen stretching from the stomach to the navel and the upper right part of the abdomen. A CECT (Contrast Enhanced CT scan) revealed a swollen stomach containing an unusual object. The girl was diagnosed with a psychological condition known as Pica, where a person eats non-edible substances. "She began with ingesting chalk in her school since Class 6, influenced by her peers' behaviour, and later she started eating hair. As we operated upon her, we found wooden pieces, rubber bands, pieces of stones, threads and other non-food items closely packed in the bunch of hair forming a long trichobezoar," said Dr Jeevan Kankaria, of surgery department at SMS Hospital, "When we measured, we found it 210 cm long, which is the world's longest trichobezoar ever removed from the stomach of a patient. We will apply for a Guinness World Record for it," said Kankaria, who has four Guinness World Records in surgeries. The girl is now receiving treatment in the hospital. She will be discharged soon once the doctors ensure that her condition has improved. The girl is a Class 10 student and belongs to a farmer family.

Daredevil backflips on fire to break Guinness World Record
May 29 (UPI) -- A British daredevil broke a Guinness World Record when he performed 7 backflips in 30 seconds -- while on fire. Ryan Luney, 28, a daredevil with multiple Guinness World Records titles to his name, donned protective gear and was fully engulfed in flames for his acrobatic feat. "I was freezing," Luney told Guinness World Records. "I'm wearing a couple of layers underneath that are soaked in a gel and put in a fridge for 24 hours to help protect me from the fire -- it was extremely cold." Luney successfully set the record for the most standing backwards somersaults in 30 seconds (full body burn), and was immediately sprayed with a fire extinguisher and wrapped in a towel to extinguish the flames. "There are so many records for full-body burns that I didn't even think I could have a chance at even touching, so now that I've done this record, I've kind of got the bug again and I'm thinking I could do more," he said.

US Man Reclaims Guinness Record Balancing Chair On His Chin
Last Updated: David Rush, a US-based author and speaker, broke 15 Guinness World Records in one day. Serial record-breaker David Rush has reclaimed his title for the longest time balancing a chair on his chin, with a time of 1 hour, 20 minutes, and 30 seconds. Mr Rush, an American author, lecturer, and performer, who enjoys pushing himself, holds well over 180 Guinness World Records. The longest time balancing a chair on the chin was one of the most unique titles he held before Christian Roberto Lopez Rodriguez of Spain broke it with a time of 1 hour, 19 minutes, and 17 seconds. Rush, determined to reclaim the title, trained hard before going ahead. The record-breaking competition took place at the West Boise YMCA in Boise, Idaho. Rush used a tan Adams low-back patio chair from Lowe's hardware store. It was around 31.5 inches tall and weighed 4 pounds 3.5 ounces. He intended to balance the chair on his chin, resting the top of the backrest upside down, until he beat Rodriguez's time. The attempt had a solid beginning with the chair steadily resting on his chin. He maintained a straight back; his head facing the sky. Rush stood with his back straight and his face tilted forward, balancing the chair upside down on his chin and carefully correcting his posture whenever the chair slanted. Upon surpassing the target time, Rush was ecstatic to beat Rodriguez's time, pumping his fists in the air while carefully maintaining the balance of his chair on his jaw. He finally set a new world record with the time of 1 hour, 20 minutes, and 30 seconds. The Guinness World Record veteran, who has won over 180 titles, broke 15 records in a single day. Among his astounding achievements, Rush managed to juggle three apples and take 198 little bites from them in a single minute. He then used his skill to accomplish the difficult task of bouncing a table tennis ball on two bottle caps 10 times with alternate hands in just 2.09 seconds, setting a new record. He switched to baseball, achieving a new record of 125 touches with alternating hand sides in 30 seconds. Additionally, he created the most back-of-the-back basketball passes against a wall in 30 seconds. First Published: May 29, 2025, 18:13 IST
