British gas have this thing. We call it home care. We'll fix all sorts and its unlimited repairs.

Expert engineers will solve the upset of boilers not boilering or taps that won't wet.

Electrics playing tricks or a pipe that's broke. We're there for everyone. Even blue furry folk.

Your home won't feel booby trapped. It'll feel just like

new British gas taking care of things and looking after you. T's and C supply excess options

available per repair. For the past few months, neurosurgeons at hospitals in Florida, Connecticut,

and New York have been preparing for a highly experimental

operation to treat Alzheimer's disease, a form of dementia that causes devastating memory loss

and affects about 7 million people in the U.S.

The surgery, practiced on cadavers, aims to clear the brain's drainage pathway so the body's

lymphatic system can flush out toxins believed to drive the disease.

To do so, surgeons are using microscopic robotic instruments developed by Jacksonville, Florida-based startup MMI.

These robots can hold needles the size of eyelashes with tools as thin as human hair.

The lymph vessels being operated on can measure just 0.2 millimeters in diameter.

MMI CEO Mark Tolan says, quote,

It's like taking a couple of strands of your hair and tying them together.

The team had scheduled plans to perform the first micro-robotic surgeries

in five patients in March. While still early stage, the trial builds on roughly 5,000

experimental surgeries conducted in China and other Asian countries over the past five years.

Those procedures, though largely anecdotal, suggest surgeons may be able to slow Alzheimer's progression

and, in some cases, move patients from moderate back to milder stages of the disease.

In November, MMI received approval from the Food and Drug Administration to begin trials, starting
