THOSE wacky Indians have done it again, with attendees at a medical congress in Bangalore setting a new Guinness World Record for the longest line of sanitary pads.
The 62nd All India Congress of Obstetrics and Gynaecology included a massive team-building event in which the 500 attendees took almost eight hours to lay out 10,105 sanitary pads in a continuous line over 1km long.
The layout included some of the pads in the shape of a uterus, along with the catchy slogan "Nothing's more cuterus than your uterus".
Organisers said the initiative aimed to promote menstrual hygiene among India's female population.
Smartphones are quite simply a pain in the neck, according to researchers investigating the ergonomic risks around the use of the ubiquitous devices.
Thai and South Australian scientists have used the Rapid Upper Limb Assessment (RULA) tool to conduct the study.
In the hands-on research, participants' neck, trunk and leg postures had a combined effect on neck musculoskeletal disorders.
"Text neck" has long been a source of controversy but now the damage potential has been broadened - will it change what we do? See journals.plos.org.
