Teva’s ProAir Digihaler FDA Approved to Monitor Asthma and COPD Treatment

Teva Pharmaceutical, based in Israel, landed the first FDA approval for a digital inhaler with built-in sensors. The ProAir Digihaler (albuterol sulfate 117 mcg) Inhalation Powder is indicated for people suffering from asthma & COPD as a way of preventing and treating bronchospasm, a tightening of the muscles that line the airways.

The ProAir Digihaler monitors how it’s used and uploads the data to an accompanying smartphone app via Bluetooth wireless connectivity. Specifically, the device detects every time it has been used to administer treatment, as well as the inspiratory airflow during each inhalation.

“There are 25 million Americans living with asthma, many of whom use inhalers as part of their treatment regimen. Despite advancements in care over the years, we know that many are using their rescue medications incorrectly or too often,” in a published statement said Tonya Winders, President & CEO of the Allergy & Asthma Network.

The ProAir Digihaler device from Teva Pharmaceutical Industries is a digital inhaler that uses sensors to connect to a companion smartphone app for people who have asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, according to the company.

Using built-in sensors, the ProAir Digihaler can measure inspiratory flow and detect when the inhaler is used. Then, the data can be sent to the smartphone app where users can review historical data and share it with their healthcare professionals. Read more:

FUE Hair Transplant Device

What is a FUE hair transplant?

Hair Transplant: Follicular unit extraction (FUE) hair transplants are done by taking individual hair follicles out of your skin and implanting them elsewhere on your body. This will make the hair in the new area look thicker.

About:

  • Follicular unit extraction (FUE) is a type of hair transplant done by taking individual hair follicles from your skin and moving them to another part of your body where hair’s thinner or absent.
  • FUE has become more popular than the follicular unit transplantation (FUT) procedure, which led to the “hair plugs” look.
  • Surgeons use micropunches to extract single follicles and move them, leaving behind almost no signs of extraction.

Safety:

  • The FUE procedure is considered safe with minor possible side effects, such as tiny white scars where follicles were extracted. In extremely rare cases, there can be infection or tissue death where the surgery was done.
  • You may experience temporary side effects that go away a few days after treatment. Side effects may include swelling, bruising, and sensitivity.

Convenience:

  • FUE is often done in multiple 2 to 4 hour sessions over the course of several days. In rare cases, a “mega session” may last 10 to 12 hours.
  • FUE is an outpatient procedure, so you can typically go home after each procedure.
  • You don’t have to interrupt your daily routine too much after FUE. But don’t immerse the area in water or do any rigorous exercise for about a week.
  • Almost any type of surgeon is qualified to do a hair transplant surgery. You may want to consult with a dermatologist who specializes in hair loss or is certified in hair transplant surgery.

Cost:

  • Hair transplants cost between $4,000 to $15,000 per session.
  • The cost can vary widely based on how much hair is being transplanted and how experienced your surgeon is.

Effectiveness:

  • Hair transplanted into a new area of your body typically begins growing back in about 3 to 4 months.
  • You can expect about 10 to 80 percentTrusted Source of the transplanted hair to grow back

GLO Science GLO Lit™ Teeth Whitening Tech Kit

GLO Science: We cover a lot of teeth whitening products here at Insider Picks, like asking an orthodontist if Crest white strips are actually safe to use and compiling recommendations from a cosmetic dentist on the best at-home treatments. It’s kind of a no-brainer — most people want to enjoy white teeth. And since so many of us take steps to whiten our smiles, it’s also started feeling like the new norm.

And, if you’re looking for efficacy and convenience, you’ve maybe started looking at mouthpieces with LED lights in them. It’s a way of faking an in-office professional teeth whitening without the trip or the big bill. According to WebMD, heat, light, or a combination of the two may be used in a dentist’s office to speed and intensify the whitening process.

One of the most high-profile options is the GLO Brilliant Teeth Whitening Device, which the company sent me to test. The device is available at retailers like Sephora, and GLO Science claims it’s clinically proven to whiten teeth “five times whiter without sensitivity.”

The upside is that it’s been the most effective at-home teeth whitening system that I’ve used, and it can be seen as an investment since you have the device for future applications after your initial purchase. The downside is that it’s paired with a steep upfront cost and you’ll have to commit to five days of continuous applications.

The short of it is that the device noticeably whitened my teeth, and whitened them more uniformly and drastically than I’ve seen with other teeth whiteners like at-home strips. It only takes 32 minutes a day, but you will have to commit to doing it five days in a row.

For me, though, that wasn’t a horrible compromise since it’s not usually hard to find 32 minutes to spare before bedtime. I would charge the device during the day while I was at work and then watch a TV show or read at night while doing the applications.

What it’s like to use

The process is simple, but you’ll want to make sure that you charge your device before you go ahead and uncap any of the gel tubes and apply them to your teeth. It takes a while for the device to fully charge, so if you don’t budget for that, you’ll have primed your teeth for nothing and wasted a tube. You’ll also want to remember that the 32 minutes of daily application is divided into four sessions of 8 minutes, so you should pace the “G-Vial” to last all four sessions.

Aloe Care Health

Aloe Care Health might be relatively new to the medical alert arena, but the Aloe Care Essentials package is one of the most comprehensive medical alert systems we’ve tested. That’s because its 4G cellular smart hub not only lets you connect to a 24/7 emergency response center using your voice or by pressing a button, it also monitors air quality, motion, and room temperature, and it lets you communicate with family members and caregivers without using your phone.

You’ll pay a bit more per month for Aloe Care than you will for other medical alert systems, but in return you get voice-activated calling, environmental sensors, a well-designed mobile app, and a hands-free two-way communication hub. That makes it our new Editors’ Choice for at-home medical alert systems, replacing the MobileHelp Classic.

Equipment and Pricing

The Essentials system comes with a smart hub base station that uses AT&T’s 4G LTE cellular service and a 1.5-inch-wide water-resistant pendant button with a 200-foot range that can be worn as a necklace or on your wrist. The circular smart hub measures 1.7 by 6.7 by 6.5 inches (HWD) and has a matte white finish. The center of the device holds a 2.7-inch dark gray Assistance button, an LED ring, and four smaller buttons.

The Assistance button is used to connect you to the 24/7 Aloe Care emergency response center, or you can place a call by saying, “Emergency,” repeatedly until the voice assistant responds.

If you want to reach out to your primary caregiver or any member of your Care Circle (friends, family, or other caregivers), you can use the smaller buttons to request a check-in call. The phone button marked 1 is used to place a check-in request to only your primary caregiver, and the phone button with the number 2 is used to place a check-in request to all of the people in your Care Circle.

Once either button is pressed, a push notification will be sent to the people in your Care Circle, and when a caregiver responds, the hub will play a chime and the LED ring will blink blue. You can then speak directly to the caregiver using the hub’s microphone and speaker.  Read more..

Makeup Alley App

Makeup Alley App: The first rule of Makeup Alley is you do not talk about Makeup Alley, and I broke that rule, disastrously. It lurked on Makeup Alley, the premier website for beauty addicts to review and discuss products, for the better part of a decade, starting when I was an acne-smattered high school student with stretch marks on my stomach. Makeup Alley, it seemed, held the key to my becoming a more beautiful person, if I was willing to pony up for the products users raved about.

It found some small miracles as a result of cross-referencing the site during every beauty run I made — Mario Badescu Drying Lotion really does treat zits the way celebrities say it does, Band-Aid Blister Block is a genius chafing solution on brutal summer days. That’s part of the mad genius of Makeup Alley: No matter how much stuff you have, you’ll keep coming back to the site to learn about the latest and greatest so you can buy even more.

Despite the evolution of the beauty industry, Makeup Alley continues to hum along as it always did thanks to an intensely close-knit group of users. Even if you’re not a Makeup Alley poster or lurker, you’re likely still a part of its far-flung network: Makeup Alley’s SEO is so crazy-good that its review pages are often among the top results when you Google beauty products. Go ahead, try it.

Hara Glick and Elky Mart founded Makeup Alley as a place to host product reviews and beauty forums in February 1999. Glick is still the president of Makeup Alley, and Mart, who wrote the site’s original code, was actively involved from launch day until 2005, though he has maintained a relationship with the site ever since. Michal Mart, Elky’s sister, is Makeup Alley’s product manager tasked with executing the site’s development plan.

In 2000, Makeup Alley was acquired by Beauty.com and remained under its purview for a brief period of time; after Drugstore.com acquired Beauty.com, Makeup Alley severed ties and became independent once again in 2001.

Even with small design refreshes throughout the years, the site still has an early internet feel, much like message board behemoth Reddit (which happens to be 10 years old, to Makeup Alley’s 16). According to ComScore, the site had 704,000 unique visitors in June; the audience is overwhelmingly female.

In its initial iteration, Makeup Alley featured a product review section (at that time called ProductVille) and three message boards for discussion: a support board, a beauty board, and a non-beauty board. Makeup Alley is probably best known to outsiders for its product reviews, but the world of the Makeup Alley boards is far more compelling.

Therapeutic Pillows

Therapeutic pillows can provide comfort and physical relief to those who find it hard to get a good night’s sleep. They provide additional support to the neck and head, help the spine to be properly aligned, and can assist you to breathe more easily, all vital elements of being able to sleep well.

Sleep has a crucial role to play in our overall feeling of well-being, and sleeping well is important because it contributes to our physical health, mental health, our alertness and our quality of life. Prolonged periods of time without proper sleep and rest can ultimately lead to chronic health problems, as well as affecting how well we think, learn and respond to the world around us, and can also affect the quality of our relationships.

Any number of different factors can prevent us from getting a good night’s sleep. It may be that you have an irregular routine that involves going to bed late, or rising early. Your sleep may be affected as a result of stimulants, such as coffee, food and alcohol. Stress or anxiety may be disrupting your sleep patterns.

However, it is very often our physical environment that determines the quality of our sleep. For instance, our bedrooms may be too warm or too cold, not allowing our bodies to lose the heat that they need to, or alternatively dropping our body temperature too low. Physical discomfort as the result of an uncomfortable pillow can also be a significant factor in preventing our sleeping well. This is because our muscles and limbs are unable to relax properly as we enter the first stages of sleep, and missing out on any part of the sleep cycle will have a deleterious effect 0n the overall quality of our rest.

Therapeutic pillows can therefore be an invaluable aid to those who don’t sleep well. They are designed so as to increase your comfort levels while sleeping, making it easier both to fall asleep and to remain in a healthy sleep cycle by not waking up during the night.

Therapeutic pillows can enhance the quality of your sleep because they are constructed so as to help you to breathe more easily by supporting your head and neck more effectively. In addition, a therapeutic pillow can provide additional support and comfort for anyone suffering from neck or shoulder pain, key inhibitors of deep and restful sleep.

There are different types of therapeutic pillows available that can help to meet different needs.

For instance, some therapeutic pillows are designed so as to support your neck and head while you sleep by having one side higher than the other. This means that your spine is aligned more naturally and so your posture is better and your overall level of comfort is enhanced. Additionally, this promotes easier breathing, good for overall physical health, but also of particular benefit to asthma sufferers.
