A power cut and a backup failure reportedly led the doctor to give the patient, injured in a road accident, stitches under a mobile flashlight.

A relative of the patient, who had received the stitches under mobile phone torchlight said: "It was completely dark inside due to the power cut. The doctor had to treat the patient using a cell phone torch."
New System Improves Wound Treatment, Drug Delivery In Soldiers
New study takes advantage of differences in electrical charge to create an all-aqueous, water-in-water construct that achieves compartmentalization in a synthetic biologic system.
