New Study Reveals Ineffectiveness of Vehicle Exhaust Filters in Removing “Ultrafine” Pollution

A new study has revealed that vehicle exhaust filters may not be as effective in removing "ultrafine" pollution as previously thought. The study, conducted by researchers at the University of California, Riverside, found that while filters can remove larger particles from exhaust emissions, they are less effective at capturing ultrafine particles that are smaller than 100 nanometers in diameter.Ultrafine particles are a major concern for public health because they can penetrate deep into the lungs and even enter the bloodstream, causing a range of health problems including respiratory and cardiovascular

E-Bikes: A Cost-Effective Alternative to Overpriced Used Cars

FDA Clears ReWalk Exoskeleton for Use on Stairs and Curbs

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) recently cleared the ReWalk exoskeleton for use on stairs and curbs, making it the first of its kind to receive such clearance. The ReWalk is a motorized, robotic exoskeleton that is designed to help people with lower-limb disabilities walk. The device is worn like a backpack and uses motors and sensors to help the user move their legs. The FDA’s clearance of the ReWalk for use on stairs and curbs is a major milestone for those with lower-limb disabilities. This clearance allows users

COAPT™ Trial Results Demonstrate Long-Term Benefits of Abbott’s MitraClip™ Device

for Heart Failure Patients Recent findings from the COAPT™ clinical trial have demonstrated the long-term benefits of Abbott's MitraClip™ device for heart failure patients. The trial, which was conducted by the Cardiovascular Research Foundation, showed that the MitraClip™ device significantly reduced hospitalizations and improved quality of life for patients with heart failure. The MitraClip™ device is a minimally invasive device that is used to treat mitral regurgitation, a condition in which the mitral valve does not close properly and allows blood to flow backward in the heart. The device works
