and doctors using ipads for this and that. But as it turns out, the jury's still out on the usefulness of tablets in hospitals, NPR reports.

At the University of California, San diego Hospital, a physician assistant uses an ipad 2 to update a patient â oe who just received a brand new kidney â oe on his recovery.

So clinicians have to log on through another program, one that's built on a Windows platform.

Not to mention major concerns about spotty wireless in hospitals logging doctors off as they move around, distracted doctors,

but the most popular systems don't yet make apps that allow doctors to use the records on a tablet the way they would on a desktop or laptop.

ON THE OTHER HAND, Apple has a secret plan to steal your doctor's heart. Apple is pushing the ipad into hospitals

Apple employee Afshad Mistri is the company's secret weapon in a stealth campaign to get the ipad into the hands of doctors.

Many doctors say that bringing an ipad to the bedside lets them administer a far more intimate and interactive level of care than they'd previously thought possible.

The device has freed up doctors to read papers and look up information no matter where they are.

It's not entirely clear why Apple cares so much about doctors. Why have a guy like Afhsad Mistri spending his days talking to doctors and medical software developers?

Why is healthcare the one vertical market that Apple promotes on its ipad apps for business page?

Dr. Robert Freitas, author of the Nanomedicine series and senior research fellow at the Institute for Molecular Manufacturing, has described several potential food replacement technologies that are somewhat pill-like.

A nanobot Dr. Freitas calls a oelipovore would act like a microscopic cosmetic surgeon, sucking fat cells out of your body and giving off heat,

reciprocally, allowing robot tools to convey sensory tactile data to the doctors who wield them.

Okamura and her team have developed a haptic system that helps doctors view how much pressure their robotic instruments are applying to a given area.

This sort of research will enable surgeons to better perform minimally invasive surgeries. Surgical robots can also photograph,

and give surgeons a better sense of how the operation went, after the fact. oewhen you do assisted robot surgery,

A Hawaiian heart doctor named Benjamin Berg dictated a complicated surgery over an Internet feed for a Guam man located 3, 500 miles away.

Faster Internet speeds will allow doctors to monitor their patients around the clock in their patients homes.

Dr. Mark Post, a vascular biologist at the University of Maastricht in The netherlands is one of a handful of scientists around the world working on the problem of cultivating meat artificially in a laboratory.

Speaking to the Reuters news agency, Dr. Post estimates that, if he succeeds, his first burger will cost a staggering $345, 000,

He probably based it on the work of Dr. Alexis Carrel, a French surgeon and biologist working in New york city in the first half of the 20th century.

There at the Rockefeller Institute of Medical Research, Dr. Carrel conducted a unique experiment when in 1912 he cultivated tissues from an embryo chicken heart.

By constantly bathing it in a nutrient solution Dr. Carrel was able to keep the heart tissue alive and growing until 1942,

when it died after a lab assistant forgot to feed it. The"chicken heart"(actually, just a bit of tissue suspended on silk gauze) was Carrel's best known project
