Liz and Jeff Barrett were devastated when they lost their daughter Mollie just two days after Liz went into premature labour at 23 weeks. But they were thrilled and amazed when her smaller twin Freya-Grace refused to give up the battle for survival despite only weighing 13oz at birth. Over eight months she had nine blood transfusions, a plasma transfusion, and a delicate heart valve operation. Britain's smallest twin: Liz with newborn Freya-Grace, who weighed just 13oz at birth The feisty youngster was allowed home from hospital today to Deri in South Wales with an oxygen supply to help strengthen her lungs. Many hospitals leave babies born before 24 weeks to die because they only have a two per cent chance of survival and often have severe disabilities. However, doctors are hopeful that Freya-Grace will go on to live a normal life. More...

An obese family of three has cost the Health Service more than £1.2million in slimming treatments and weight-loss surgery. Zaneta Jones, 46, and husband David have both had gastric bypasses and their 17stone son Stanleigh, 15, is due to have his stomach stapled later this year. At their heaviest, the trio had a combined weight of 76st 10lb. Supersized family: Zaneta, Stanley and David Jones weighed more than 76stone at their heaviest and insist they feel bad about the cost of their treatment The £1,235,000 cost of their treatments so far would be enough to fund around 1,000 lumpectomies for suspected breast cancer, or a year’s supply of medication for 1,235 Alzheimer’s patients. The Government has called for a new approach to tackling obesity, which costs the NHS around £4.2billion a year, including £49million in gastric operations. But the Jones family claim dieting was not a ‘realistic option’, and believe their obesity is a genetic problem. Their adopted son Liam...

Hospital only intervenes with babies born after 24 weeks Holding her newborn son Tom for the first time, Tracy Godwin marvelled at his eyelashes, and counted every precious finger and toe. After the drama of his arrival at just 22 weeks, she knew she had a little fighter in her arms. But at a mere one pound, and battling to breathe, he would need all the help he could get. That help never came. Broken dreams: Tracy Godwin with a teddy bear she bought for her baby boy, Tom Not forgotten: Tom was born on March 6 last year and survived for 46 minutes Forty-six minutes later, and despite her desperate pleas to midwives for assistance, Miss Godwin’s son died as she held him. She has since been told that the hospital has a policy not to resuscitate babies born earlier than 24 weeks into pregnancy. Yesterday Miss Godwin, who visits her little boy’s grave every day, told how she is haunted by fears she and her partner didn’t do enough to help their baby when the medics around h...

Born without a right ear, Ethan Giles-Bowman became increasingly shy and self-conscious with each passing year. He grew his hair long to try and cover up the flap of skin where his ear should have been, but was always aware of the way strangers looked at him. Now the nine-year-old is enjoying a new lease of life after surgeons created an ear for him using cartilage taken from his ribcage. Ethan Giles-Bowman has had his hair cut so it no longer hides his ear, after he had one crafted out of his rib cartilage It was a painful process, but the schoolboy is delighted with the result and proud of his realistic-looking new ear. His insecurities have disappeared overnight and he immediately had his hair cut short to show it off. He can't wait for summer to come along so he can wear sunglasses on holiday.

A malaria parasite has been caught on camera for the first time breaking and entering human red bloods cell before savagely destroying them from the inside. The Plasmodium parasite transmits malaria via the bite of infected mosquitoes. The infectious disease kills one million people every year and infects 400million. Scientists have captured in great detail the moment a malaria carrying parasite invades a human red blood cell Australian researchers used super resolution microscopy to watch the organism make windows in the walls of the human cells before burrowing through. The technology provides images at a much smaller scale than normal light microscopes and so could capture the parasite, which is just one millionth of a metre across. Dr Jake Baum, of the Walter and Eliza Hall Institute in Melbourne, said: 'The real breakthrough of super resolution microscopy is that it… basically allows you to build a three-dimensional image of cellular processes at very high res...

26-year-old finally diagnosed after five years of tests Fitness fanatic Kathryn Weir's life turned into a 'living hell' when her weight mysteriously shot up, making her so fat she was ashamed to leave the house. The sporty 26-year-old, who enjoyed 90-minute sessions in the gym, ballooned from a trim size 10 to a size 18 in the space of a few weeks. Doctors were baffled when Kathryn Weir, from Widnes, Cheshire, suddenly began to gain weight around her stomach for no apparent reason. Her face became bloated and swollen and she began to grow dark hairs on her chest and back. Size matters: Kathryn was healthy before the shock weight gain that 'snapped' her leg bone Her bones became so brittle that one of her legs 'snapped' when she was on a night out - breaking under her weight. She was finally diagnosed with Cushing's syndrome, a rare tumour on the pituitary gland, after five years of anguish. The condition, which affects fewer than one ...

Gordon Ramsay's £30,000 hair transplant has been hailed as a rip off by a prison warder who solved his own baldness - using a £15 spray. Father-of-three John Banks, 47, was nicknamed Friar Tuck over his lack of hair but instead of resorting to expensive treatment he trawled the high street for a cheaper solution. He bought a can of Nanofibres, which filled in the empty patches on his head with tiny keratin fibres that clung to his existing hair. Before spraying his head (above), Mr Banks said he was called 'Friar Tuck' by his friends. He said he is far more confident after using the Nanofibres (below) Mr Banks from Eastbourne, said: 'It just shows you don't have to be a rich celeb like Gordon Ramsay to cover up your baldness. I was amazed about how quickly the treatment worked; people noticed straight away and gave me compliments.' The prison worker was 35 when he first began thinning and spent years cutting his hair short and wearing h...

Home safe: Michelle Dyer with son Harvey after his ordeal Hospital doctors failed to notice that five-week-old Harvey Flanagan had swine flu. When it was eventually diagnosed at another hospital, they promised his parents they had learned their lesson from the baby’s brush with death. Yet only days later, Stepping Hill Hospital also failed to diagnose three-year-old Lana Ameen with the swine flu that went on to kill her. Yesterday, Harvey’s mother Michelle Dyer suggested that Lana had been doubly betrayed by the NHS. The 24-year-old, whose son has fully recovered, backed Lana’s doctor father in his calls for under-fives to be routinely given the flu jab. And, referring to the girl’s misdiagnosis, she said: ‘They had been warned [after Harvey’s case], but it happened again just two days after they’d given me assurances. ‘The vaccine costs just a few pounds, but treating a child in intensive care costs thousands. Harvey was critical for eight days, that must have cost £10...
