I know of none, so i would say False. Perhaps some spaceshuttle technology has been retrofitted into medical equipment. But doubtfully anything has been gained from the auctal voyage.

I agree with exuras - specifically, I know of none. That does not mean that some do not exist. Actually, I just read an article on changes in cerebrospinal fluid pressure in space flights of more than one month duration and the subsequent changes in eyeball shape it causes. I kid you not - I read it here: http://www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/station/research/news/Astronaut_Vision_prt.htm
