BBC NEWS | Health | Brain-cooling devices developed

During a heart attack or stroke, nerve cells release a flood of chemicals that cause further damage. British researchers have discovered that the damage can be limited by reducing the temperature of the brain by about 4C. To this end, they have developed several experimental approaches to cool the brain of patients without effecting core body temperature. They have also determined that cooling must take place as soon as possible after a heart attack or stroke to maximize the benefit from the approach, and that the approach does not deal with brain damage that may be linked directly to the stroke.

Polaroid, once THE name in instant photography, has resurfaced after declaring bankruptcy to release the $200 PoGo, a low-resolution digital camera that lets you print the images (up to 20 at a time) immediately after shooting them. Photos are captured using a 5-megapixel sensor and can be previewed on an LCD screen before deciding not only whether or not to print, but how many copies to print. Photos are printed on Polaroid-proprietary 2x3 inch thermal paper that requires about a minute to develop. The camera also accepts SD cards so can be used to print photos taken by other cameras.
