People who have arthritis in their fingers have a very tough time opening and closing, to say the least. Making a fist would be very painful. The pain in severe cases can be excruciating.
The device I have invented is a ‘Comfort Glove’.
I am using air and possibly heat to give comfort.
This glove is similar in function to a ‘blood pressure cuff’ that people are so well used to.
In addition to looking like a nice glove

Paperwork. It is the first thing and the last thing you endure when visiting any medical facility where you are to receive treatment. When you walk into the building, you aren’t only greeted by the dreary waiting room that who knows how long they will be sitting there, but also the realization that there will be a stack of medical history and information sheets waiting for you at the receptionist’s desk. This stack consists of

Diabetes is a disease affecting 170 million people worldwide and researchers believe this number could double by the year 2030. Diabetes is divided into two categories: type 1 diabetes and type 2 diabetes. Type 1 diabetics, who are born with the disease, do not produce insulin, which forces them to provide their body with the insulin needed to remain healthy. Some type 1’s use shots of insulin to fulfill this need, while others use an

During prolonged space travel continuous exposure to zero gravity causes a wide range of physiological changes that reduce exercise capability and endanger physical well-being. These changes have particular consequences for the skeletal, muscular and cardiovascular systems. Weight-bearing exercise can prevent and/or reverse the changes, but is generally not possible in zero gravity. Isokinetic exercise (i.e., same speed exercise) is often used in rehabilitation and isokinetic equipment could be used in zero gravity. However, currently available

Problem: Today's doctors use the stethoscope, once an integral diagnostic part of the physician's toolkit, as a screening tool for the presence of cardiopulmonary pathology instead of determining the pathology. Because of decreasing inter-observer agreement in diagnoses, medical schools have reduced the emphasis on teaching auscultation (listening to the internal sounds of the body) techniques. Consequently, the ability of doctors to effectively use a stethoscope has decreased further and today most can only make a

Most people are unable to perform adequate chest compressions due to fatigue, inadequate strength, and the lack of feedback for proper compression depth. One study documented that the average rescuer is only capable of producing effective compressions for about two minutes, which is far less than the typical 8 to 10 minute emergency response time.
The LifeBelt® CPR device makes it easy for anyone to perform high quality CPR compressions for extended periods of time.

Research methods examine the superficial aspects of social interaction within a teen environment. This entails the physical identity, image, and persona that teens hold upon themselves and their peers. The idea of social acceptance plays a key role in the development of teens’ personal lives and the attempt to preserve this ultimately gives rise to new cast system concepts to alleviate social and physical awkwardness after suffering an arm injury.
