From Swedish hospital YouTube channel: Dr. James Porter, medical director of robotic surgery at Swedish folds a small paper airplane with the da Vinci robot to demonstrate how this device gives surgeons greater surgical precision and dexterity over existing approaches.

With over 600,000 views, this video undoubtedly brings good publicity to the hospital.

However, the robot costs on average $1.3 million, in addition to several hundred thousand dollars of annual maintenance fees. Surgical procedures performed with the robot take longer than traditional ones. Critics say that hospitals have a hard time recovering the cost and that most clinical data does not support the claim of improved patient outcomes.

The manufacturer Intuitive Surgical has sold more than 1,000 units worldwide.

Here are some simple tips for sunscreen selection and use from CNN:

- Use a sunscreen with a minimum of SPF 15 and a maximum of SPF 50. SPF 15 can block 93% of incoming UVB rays. SPF 30 blocks 97%. SPF 50 blocks 98%.

- Make sure labels list both UVA and UVB protection

You get exposed to both UVA and UVB light:

UVB light is the light that Burns (causes sunburn)
UVA light as the light that Ages the skin (wrinkles, etc.)

- Avoid products containing oxybenzone and retinyl palminate. They may get absorbed through the skin and may increase cancer risk

- Choose lotions versus spray sunscreens for a more evenly distribution

- Remember to apply at least 2 ounces of lotion (about a shot glass full). Reapply every 2 hours. Reapply after swimming or heavy sweating.
