Sleep SEX

Sleep SEX !!!

This film follows four different people whose lives have been devastated by the sleep condition ‘sexsomnia’ - a sleeping disorder over which they have no control.

George has violent sex with his partner while he is sleeping and it's tearing their relationship apart. Carly, a young woman from mid-America, is a compulsive masturbator and it's destroying her relationship with her husband.

One sufferer of sexsomnia ended up in a court of law, after a stranger at a party attempted to charge him with rape.

For Londoner Nick, sleep sex is at the moment a bonus, but he's just beginning to realise the potential consequences.

Which SEX i am ??

Is it a boy or a girl? It's the first thing a mother wan ts to know after giving birth. Sometimes doctors can't answer. One in 500,000 of babies are born with genitals with some degree of ambiguity. They are not clearly male or female. These children are categorised as intersex, a group that includes many conditions, each one a group of its own. Jacob was born in the Philippines 16 months ago. Doctors call him a hermaphrodite because he was born with organs of both sexes – a penis, testes and a uterus. We join him in LA, where he has been taken by the charity Mending Kids International to undergo surgery. The complexities involved in intersexuality are reflected in Jacob’s story. Having already undergone a heart operation he struggles to survive a life threatening lung infection. Despite all this, his mother, Joahn, is determined that her son has yet another operation for doctors to discover if he has testicles and/or ovaries. His mother now has the agonising task of deciding what sex Jacob should be. She thinks he should be a boy, but is anxious about whether it is the right choice … What if he's unhappy as a man and he blames her? Meet Tiziana from Italy. At 24 she has found out that, genetically, she is a man. Tiziana has a condition called Androgyn Insensitivity Syndrome (AIS). She was born with male chromosomes, testes and no uterus but externally her genitals look completely female. She was diagnosed with the condition at the age of 15, but her parents kept it secret from her. She underwent an operation to remove her undescended testes and at the advice of the doctors her parents lied to her, telling her that the operation was to remove her uterus due to cancer. Today, Tiziana's relationship with her mother has broken down. Now she has decided to meet her mother for a showdown.

Color Changing Frog

A newfound frog species undergoes a "striking" change from a black, yellow-spotted youngster to a peach-colored, blue-eyed adult, scientists say.

Oreophryne ezra was discovered in 2004 in a tiny, mountaintop cloud forest in southeastern Papua New Guinea. The forest has been long avoided by locals, who believe the misty jungle to be taboo, and perhaps guarded by spirits.

Though a few other frogs are known to switch colors as they mature, "I don't think the difference in color pattern is as startling as what's seen in this species," said Fred Kraus, a vertebrate zoologist at the Bishop Museum in Honolulu, Hawaii.

But why the amphibian undergoes such a drastic transition is far from black and white, added Kraus, leader of a new study on the frog in the December 2009 issue of the journal Copeia.

The juveniles look like poison dart frogs, so "the first thing that comes to mind is 'warning,'" Kraus said. The young frogs even sit on leaves in broad daylight, consistent with the "danger doesn't bother me" audacity of poisonous frogs, he added.

But "if the juvenile has a warning color, why would adults lose it? It makes no sense at all."

To solve at least part of the riddle, Kraus would like to test whether the young frogs have poison to back up their bluster.

Coma miracle:-

Coma Miracle examines the fascinating phenomenon of patients in a persistent vegetative state, who have woken from their comas and communicated with their loved ones for just a few hours before slipping back into their previous state.

Miraculous as it might seem, this extraordinary turn of events resulted by accident, rather than groundbreaking neurological research. A GP administered a commonly used sleeping pill to his severely brain-damaged patient, Louis Viljoen. A previously athletic 24 year old, Louis suffered severe brain damage after being hit by a truck, but on being given a sedative containing Zolpidem, medical staff were astounded when Louis spoke for the first time in five years.

Louis isn't the only one - there are now a number of examples of patients being 're-born' thanks to the drug - people like Dianne Katz who has been in a minimally conscious state for two years having suffered two aneurisms, four brain operations and multiple strokes.

Coma Miracle joins Dianne as she takes the life changing drug for the very first time, with cameras catching the remarkable moment that she is able to communicate with her family for the first time since falling ill. Coma Miracle also travels to South Africa where medical trials are taking place, as doctors attempt to awaken yet more patients and measure their improvements, offering a fascinating insight into the drug and research which could change the lives of millions of people worldwide.
