Dog lick sparks sepsis, UK woman faces quadruple amputation

Manjit Sangha, a 56-year-old Punjabi-origin woman from the West Midlands, fell critically ill last July after her family’s dog licked a minor wound; within 48 hours she was in a coma and doctors believe sepsis entered her bloodstream. She underwent quadruple amputations (both legs below the knee and both hands), lost her spleen, and battled pneumonia and gallstones. After 32 weeks in hospital she has returned home and is fundraising for advanced prosthetics, with over £22,000 raised so far. Medical experts say such infections are rare but can escalate rapidly.

Wuthering Heights Reimagined: Robbie’s Cathy and Elordi’s Heathcliff Through Hair and Prosthetics

The piece explains how Emerald Fennell’s Wuthering Heights uses Margot Robbie’s Cathy and Jacob Elordi’s Heathcliff to tell the story via transformative hair, makeup and prosthetics—Robbie with 35+ Cathy looks, freckles and era-specific wigs; Elordi shifts from a dirty, bearded “Jesus Elordi” to a slick, Darcy-inspired Heathcliff with a hand-laid beard and a gold-tooth prosthetic—plus ‘vagina plaits’ and other motifs. The look development, including tests against wind/rain, spanned a 51‑day shoot and was designed to convey jealousy, longing and tragedy, with Robbie even keeping her hair unwashed for a key scene.

Detachable Crawling Robotic Hand Fetches Objects and Reattaches

EPFL researchers have built a self-contained, detachable crawling robotic hand that can grip multiple objects (up to four), move to retrieve items from tight or hazardous spaces, and reattach to its arm using a snap-and-lock system. With bidirectional fingers and magnets guiding reattachment, the device combines manipulation and locomotion and could inform future prosthetics and specialized environments.
