Drunk Chinese man swallows spoon, thinks it was a dream, finds out mishap 5 months later
A Chinese man accidentally swallowed a coffee spoon while intoxicated in Thailand, believing it to be merely a dream for several months. Advertisement The 29-year-old, known as Yan, visited a doctor in Shanghai in June, suspecting he had ingested plastic while eating takeaway food. However, instead of plastic, the doctor at Shanghai Zhongshan Hospital discovered a 15cm long spoon lodged within him. The spoon was trapped in his duodenum – the first section of the small intestine. It was positioned precariously; even a slight movement could cause perforation of the intestine, resulting in inflammation or severe bleeding. The spoon became lodged in his duodenum, the initial section of the small intestine. Photo: It was at this point that Yan realised his experience in Thailand back in January was not a figment of his imagination.

BioAge Labs announces it will present new preclinical data on APJ agonism
BioAge Labs (BIOA) announced that it will present new preclinical data supporting apelin receptor, APJ, agonism for the treatment of diabetic obesity and heart failure with preserved ejection fraction. The data will be presented at the American Diabetes Association's 85th Scientific Sessions, held June 20-23, 2025, in Chicago, Illinois. In their two presentations, the company will present data that demonstrated that in preclinical models of diabetic obesity and HFpEF, APJ agonist treatment had potential as monotherapy that could be enhanced in combination with incretin therapies. Enhanced glycemic control in diabetic obesity – Dr. Rubin's oral presentation will show that in mouse models of diabetic obesity, APJ agonist monotherapy reduced HbA1c to levels comparable to lean controls and improved glucose tolerance by 25%. Cardioprotective effects in HFpEF – Dr. Yan's poster will show that in a mouse model of obesity-associated heart failure, APJ agonist monotherapy reduced cardiac hypertrophy and suppressed markers of cardiac injury. Combination of APJ agonism with an incretin provided enhanced cardioprotective benefits and greater weight loss compared to either treatment alone. Confident Investing Starts Here:

Kengan Omega Chapter 312: Ohma Confronts Kiryu—Recap, Release Date, Where To Read And More
The last Kengan Omega chapter, titled 'How They Spent The Day,' began with Katahara Metsudo, Nogi Hideki, and Xia Yan discussing the Kengan match set for Ganryu Island. Metsudo emphasizes the island's defensibility, while Hideki warns Yan not to interfere. Yan internally worries about Shen Luo-han's moves. At Yamashita's house, Ryuki and Koga cook and discuss whether they want to face Shen Wulong. Wulong unexpectedly arrives, offers croquettes, and casually tells them they can fight if they wish to—Yan is loosening the rules. Later, Ohma visits Kiryu Setsuna in the hospital, with Kure Karura as his bodyguard. Ohma appears to have something to discuss with Setsuna. Expected plot in Kengan Omega Chapter 312 Kengan Omega Chapter 312 will likely center on the conversation between Tokita Ohma and Kiryu Setsuna. Setsuna may provide key intel about Shen Wulong, the Worm, and the Consecutors, possibly exposing hidden ties or past dealings. He might also explain his own current mental and physical condition. Meanwhile, more combatants may be revealed preparing for Ganryu Island's battle, including returning characters or new allies. With rules changing, Ryuki and Koga may begin discussing their own roles more seriously. The political tension among Metsudo, Hideki, and Xia Yan could also escalate.

Sabah's muay thai prodigy Angie Yan shines in Turkiye
KOTA KINABALU: Sabahan Angie Yan Jia Chi has once again made the state and country proud by retaining her world under-23 title in the female Wai Kru division at the 2025 IFMA World Muay Thai Championships in Antalya, Turkiye. Yan, 23, dazzled the judges in the final with a performance that combined tradition, grace, and technical precision, scoring 9.60 points to edge out her Filipina opponent by just 0.1 point. The narrow victory sealed her third consecutive world championship in the age category, having previously triumphed in Thailand (2023) and Greece (2024). Her mother, Sally Kuan, beamed with pride at her daughter's latest achievement, crediting Yan's discipline and love for muay thai's cultural roots. 'This win not only adds another gold to Malaysia's medal tally, but also highlights the determination and cultural pride of our youth in keeping tradition alive on the world stage,' she said. Yan has built a reputation as a dominant force in the non-combat Wai Kru category, a traditional pre-fight ritual that celebrates respect, heritage and mental focus in muay thai. Her growing list of accolades includes gold medals at the 2023 IFMA World Cup U-23 in Turkiye; the World Combat Games in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia; and last year's Malaysia Games (Sukma) in Sarawak. Beyond competitive success, Yan also had the honour of being one of the two Malaysians at the 2024 Paris Olympics, not as a medal contender, but as part of a cultural showcase to promote muay thai globally. She was selected to perform a special muay thai demonstration aimed at advocating for its inclusion as an official medal sport in the future. 'This experience gave me the chance to promote our art on the world's biggest stage. It is about more than just competition, it is about honouring a tradition and showing the world how much it means to us,' Yan said in an earlier statement. Meanwhile, both the national and state muay thai bodies extended their congratulations, commending Yan's consistency and her role in promoting the sport. Sabah Muaythai Association president Nazri Ab Razak praised her as a role model for aspiring athletes. 'With five world titles now under Sabah's belt, we hope her success will inspire more youths in the state to pursue excellence in the sport, especially in its cultural disciplines,' he said. He also noted that the sport is entering the third phase of its five-year development plan in Sabah, with growing emphasis on expanding local competitions and strengthening grassroots talent. Among upcoming events, muay thai will feature prominently in the Sabah Games (Saga) in Tawau this October where, for the first time, the Wai Kru category will be officially included after making its debut as a demonstration event at Saga 2023 in Kota Kinabalu. Nazri said the inclusion is a testament to growing recognition of muay thai's cultural value alongside its sporting merit. 'We will continue developing the sport and creating more platforms for young Sabahan athletes to shine,' he added.
