Peer-reviewed data from nearly 30,000 real-world treatments reinforce the role of NerivioÒ, a drug-free REN wearable, as an alternative for veterans managing this complex, often service-related condition
Older ablation approaches for ventricular tachycardia have been suboptimal, Medtronic said. The company plans to bring a more effective treatment for the life-threatening heart condition.
In science, the suffix “phage” means to devour. Thus, the name bacteriophage might conjure images of tiny creatures that “eat” bacteria. While that conception isn’t 100% scientifically accurate, bacteriophages are lethal killers of bacteria nonetheless, and scientists are excited about engineering phage DNA as a path to new antibiotics.
The system pairs a 122‑electrode spherical array with real‑time thermal contact sensing and visualisation to guide ablation and confirm treatment.
Researchers have shown that measurements taken from a person’s fingertip could help identify physical patterns associated with stress, anxiety and depression. The international study, involving experts from Aston University, used a wearable device that shines light into the skin to measure blood flow through the smallest blood vessels as well as changes in the activity of the surrounding tissue.
The inconspicuous nucleocapsid protein from coronaviruses can trigger hyperinflammation, an effect not typically seen in other viruses.
Device automatically reads and adjusts to skin tone for more accurate measurements of blood oxygen, pulse, and respiration
BlueWind plans to initiate a limited US market launch of Revi Extend in Q4 2026.
In the 1970s, PVC bags revolutionized the storage of blood and blood products for transfusion. Disposable plastic (PVC) bags replaced reusable glass bottles, making the process more convenient and safer from contamination. Over half a century later, the same disposable plastic bags are creating a new kind of problem because of microplastics (MPs). These tiny particles, less than 5 millimeters in size, are formed by the polymer degradation of plastic materials as they break down and age.
