Scientists have developed a strawberry flavoured milkshake that helps alzheimers patients. 12 week Trials have concluded that the milkshake when taken daily significantly improves short-term memory.

Sample of Souvenaid

The milkshake ‘Souvenaid’ which contains a cocktail of brain boosting nutrients may be available for consumer use within the next 2 years. The study is led by Professor Richard Wurtman, Massachsetts Institute of Technology, Boston. He is very excited by the test results and confident that follow-up trials will also prove successful.

A mini-cushion ‘Device for Intervertebral Assisted Motion’ (DIAM) is a revolutionary way to treat back pain. The device – made from a soft gel and H-shaped is implanted between the vertebrae. Surgeons make a small incision approximately 2cm in length across the spine, and prepare an area for implant by removing relevant soft and bony tissue.

 Research on 68 patients between the ages of 23 and 75 concluded that – not only does the implant act as a shock absorber, but it also restores the normal joint mechanism thus easing pain.
