Paro the robot to calm dementia patients: Takanori Shibata of Japan's National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology, brought his creation to America and exhibited at the Kennedy Center where Heather Whyte, director of Vinson Hall, instantly fell for this bot. And so Paro has become the new addition to the Vinson Hall's elderly retirement home. This cuddly cute Paro is a fur-covered robot and has become everybody's favorite as it is designed to snuggle, bat its eyelashes, waggle its tail and is simply adorable. Patients with severe memory loss are sometimes prone to psychiatric disturbances, including hallucinations and personality changes, and Paro might provide a way to calm them or at least shift their mood. Kathleen L. Martin head of Vinson Hall believes that this robot produces powerful emotional effect because it stimulates the senses on different levels and seems to communicate with people. It elicits feelings of compassion and pleasure that animals do. More over it is not threatening like living animals.

New drug may reduce Injections for Diabetics to twice a week: Type 2 Diabetics have a reason to optimistic as a new medical breakthrough could lead to a big change in their lifestyle. Toronto researcher Dr Daniel Drucker, who is a world expert in the development of peptide hormone based therapies for the treatment of human disease, has accomplished a biomedical research that enables Diabetic patient to undergo twice-weekly injection instead of the more common twice daily injection. The new treatment called Exenatide reportedly provides a long-lasting effect on the patient and also poses fewer side-effects. The release of this treatment (by early 2009) would be particularly useful for the 2 million diabetic patients in Canada as there is no available therapy for type 2 diabetic patients that they can receive once a week.
