Older adults with untreated hearing loss incur substantially higher total health care costs compared to those who don't have hearing loss -- an average of 46 percent, totaling $22,434 per person over a decade, according to a new study.
Researchers have developed a new prosthetic hand system with a fully implanted, wirelessly controlled neurostimulator that has restored 'feeling' to a person with a hand amputation.
Scientists havedesigned a device that can induce partial hindlimb regeneration in adult aquatic African clawed frogs (Xenopus laevis) by 'kick-starting' tissue repair at the amputation site. Their findings introduce a new model for testing 'electroceuticals,' or cell-stimulating therapies.

Helping points: who did you discuss with; what was the content of the discussions; were you aware of any strong agreements/disagreements; who were they (e.g. friend/family/partner?) and what did they say.
