Pope Leo XIV At Audience With Jubilee of Italian Diplomacy Participants - Vatican

The representation of the Nativity in the Paul VI Hall, Nacimiento Gaudium, features a figure of the Virgin Mary in a state of pregnancy and a collection of 28,000 coloured ribbons, each representing a life saved from abortion thanks to the prayers and support provided by Catholic organisations to many mothers in difficulty. The nativity scene measures five metres in length, three metres in height and two and a half metres in depth. While respecting tradition — with the presence of Joseph, the Magi, the shepherds and the animals — the work introduces an original element: two different and interchangeable representations of the Virgin Mary. During Advent, a statue of Mary pregnant, symbolising expectation and hope, will be on display; on Christmas Eve, this will be replaced with an image of the Virgin kneeling in adoration of the newborn Child. In addition, 400 ribbons with prayers and wishes written by young patients at the National Children's Hospital in San José will be placed in Jesus' cradle in the Paul V

CHINA-BEIJING-OCT TECHNOLOGY-ENTREPRENEURSHIP (CN)

(240220) -- BEIJING, Feb. 20, 2024 (Xinhua) -- Zhu Rui (R) tests a new generation of OCT equipment at a laboratory of a branch office of Vivolight in Xi'an, northwest China's Shaanxi Province, Jan. 18, 2024. On Feb. 18, the first working day after China's Spring Festival holiday, Zhu Rui, founder of medical device company Vivolight, came to the catheter operating room of Beijing Anzhen Hospital to learn about the use of OCT equipment produced by his company. OCT, or optical coherence tomography technology, allows doctors to examine patients and display real-time three-dimensional images where the catheter passes, providing guide for surgery. Since graduating from Tsinghua University in 2006, Zhu has been engaged in OCT related research and product development. His role has changed from a student, a researcher to an entrepreneur.

Comic Study Finds Laughter Helps Heart Health

IComic: Study Finds Laughter helps heart health, Shanghai, China, August 29, 2023. Science has proven that regular laughter is actually good for you, especially when it comes to your heart health. Half of the patients were asked to watch two different hour-long comedy shows a week for three months, and the other half watched two different serious documentaries a week. When scientists examined their bodies at the end of the 12-week study, they found that the comedy patients' hearts had a 10 percent increase in the flow of oxygen throughout the body, and markers of inflammation were significantly lower. Coronary artery dilation also improved. Studies have found that laughter therapy is a good intervention to help reduce inflammation and reduce the risk of heart attack and stroke."
