Pancreatic cancer survival rates have been improving over the last few decades, but the statistics still make grim reading. According to the America Cancer Society, the one-year relative survival rate for all cases of pancreatic cancer is 20 per cent. Only seven per cent of people diagnosed with the disease survive for five years. One […]

It may sound like science fiction, but scientists are closer to developing robotic prosthetic arms that can be guided by thought alone. According to a study, published in the journal Nature Biomedical Engineering, six volunteers, who were either amputees from the shoulder down or just above the elbow, were fitted with prosthetics which were controlled […]
