Viagra used to save baby’s life
Lewis Goodfellow was born at 24 weeks weighing just 1lb 8oz. One of his lungs had failed and not enough oxygen was able to get into his bloodstream.

Japanese Robosuit Helps The Elderly
Japanese seniors may be able to enjoy independent lives even longer than they do now with the newly developed robotic suit, which may be leased to individual clients as early as next year.The suit, developed by a Tsukuba University team of science professor Yoshiyuki Sankai and students, is designed to assist a user’s limbs for easier movement.
A user is able to walk more easily and avoid muscle strains or lift objects as heavy as 20 kilogrammes in this suit because it moves slightly before the wearer’s limbs. Sensors on the suit correspond with the user’s brain signals, which would tell muscles to move.
When I look at that picture, I immediately thought of two words: power dump.
