Researchers have improved the ability of wearable health devices to accurately detect when a patient is coughing, making it easier to monitor chronic health conditions and predict health risks such as asthma attacks. The advance is significant because cough-detection technologies have historically struggled to distinguish the sound of coughing from the sound of speech and nonverbal human noises.
The promoter editing system could be used to fine-tune gene therapy or to more efficiently reprogram cells for therapeutic use.
SHANGHAI, Oct. 11, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Smartee Denti-Technology today announced the global launch of the Smartee Sleep Aligners, a clear aligner device designed to help manage obstructive sleep apnoea hypopnoea syndrome (OSAHS) and primary snoring (PS). The new series includes two versions: Smartee SA, which focuses on the treatment of OSAHS and PS, and Smartee SA Plus. The latter can treat OSAHS while simultaneously addressing orthodontic issues. Together, they provide clinicians with an invisible alternative to conventional OSAHS treatment therapies, offering greater comfort and compliance, and improving sleep quality.
McGill University researchers have engineered a new hydrogel that shows early promise as a treatment for people with vocal cord injuries.
Researchers at McMaster University have developed a new menstrual health product designed to complement and enhance an existing menstrual cup that is safer, easier to use and more environmentally sustainable than current options.
CLEVELAND, Oct. 10, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Surgical Theater, the leader in surgical XR visualization, today announced U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) 510(k) clearance for SyncAR® Spine, the next-generation release of its spine platform. This clearance expands the system’s capabilities with advanced XR tools powered by AI algorithms. This brings patient MRI and CT directly into the operating room, aligning preoperative plans with intraoperative execution for greater clarity and control in spine surgery.
Vitamin B6, which is absorbed from a broad range of foods, helps bolster immune system function and neurotransmitters in the brain. But some patients with chronic conditions like diabetes might experience low concentrations of vitamin B6, leading to reduced mental and physical health function, with possible symptoms including irritability, depression, anemia, numbness or muscle twitching.
Chinese researchers have developed a novel method to efficiently engineer natural killer (NK) cells for cancer immunotherapy. NK cells are central to early antiviral and anticancer defense—among other immune system roles—making them well-suited for cancer immunotherapy.
Researchers have adapted a rapid diagnostic technology that is able to identify undetected cases of malaria, helping tackle the spread of disease.
