One of these photos is of bone, the other is of cement foam. Which one is which? Yeah, we’re not that sure either.

And that’s the point, says bone researcher David Pastorino, who — at TEDxBarcelona — shared how he and a team of researchers have come up with a crazy new way to regenerate bone with a material quite similar to the foam of a cappuccino.

How? Well, doctors inject a foam cement made from calcium phosphate into the body after a big break and the foam mimics bone scaffolding so well that it tricks bone cells (osteoclasts and osteoblasts) into “eating” the material and replacing it with real bone. Magic? No, science!

Victorian Artificial Arm

“Made from steel and brass, the elbow joint on this artificial arm can be moved by releasing a spring, the top joint of the wrist rotates and moves up & down, and the fingers can curl up and straighten out. The wearer may have disguised it with a glove. Among the most common causes of amputation throughout the 1800s were injuries received as a result of warfare.”

How to treat ‘Sleeplessness and Nightmares’

I think Chamomile is probably the only one you’d want to use there. ‘Nux Vomita’ - Strychnine and Pulsatilla (toxic - used here as a sedative) seem to be the most deadly. It is also a bit baffling that they thought coffee would be good for sleeplessness.
