Sleep apnea (where your brain doesn't properly send breathing signals while resting) is horrible enough by itself, but the solutions to it can be scary: you may have to take medication, rely on ungainly breathing machines or opt for invasive surgery....
The experts of the Université Laval's Faculty of Science and Engineering and its Center for Optics, Photonics, and Lasers, have made a smart garment that can measure the rate of respiration in the...
Many mothers who hardly look like mothers have said that the secret to their glowing health and youthful looks is deep breathing. This age-old practice is one they swear by when they are undergoing...
The circadian rhythms do not come into question so long as we remain bound by night and day cycles. Yet the moment we step on a jet airliner and experience the nasty symptoms of jet lag, we feel that...
Air pollution is getting worse across much of the globe. According to World Health Organization (WHO) latest report, more than 90 percent of world population is affected by air pollution and if air...
Sure, junior looks fine sleeping on the baby-cam, but do you know her or his oxygen level, heartbeat and breathing rate, you monster? Of course not (don't worry, you're a good parent), because there's no way of monitoring such things short of hooking...
“M1″ doesn’t aim to redefine the scuba or reinvent the snorkel. It’s something entirely new and unlike any other underwater breathing apparatus! The design allows users to take one additional breath when diving, extending their time underwater by one minute. That may not seem like a lot, but it’s plenty of time to go places and see things users might not have been able to experience before! Using refillable cartridges, there are also expansions as users stretch their underwater breathing ability to extend their time to as much as two additional minutes. Do want!
Some medications administered via nebulizer can take over 30 minutes to complete a treatment. With current designs, patients must hold the apparatus upright for that lengthy duration and often take breaks from exhaustion. The Respirgard Nebulizer system is a hands-free solution that reduces discomfort and therefore treatment times. Because the unit never needs to be set down, it also keeps things more sanitary.

If you’re pretty serious about your fitness, you’ll know that resistance based training is essential in getting bigger muscles, which is often synonymous with better performance. But the lungs are almost always overlooked in a resistance training regimen, which is where the Bas Rutten O2 Trainer comes in. It’s a silicon/polymer device that fits in your mouth like a snorkel mouthpiece and features a variable diameter intake, and an exhaust on the side. The intake is covered by interchangeable adaptors of varying sizes, which get progressively smaller as you increase the resistance exerted to take a breath in. Unlike other similar products, only the intake of air is restricted, allowing you to completely empty your lungs with each breath and translating into a fuller range of motion for your diaphragm. The resistance your lungs encounter will make them stronger over time, giving you improved cardiovascular performance to match your increased muscle mass. The kit, which comes with adapters between 14mm and 1mm, and a carrying case, costs $49.
Those who have to use a wheelchair are often bound to the elevation of the seat if they want to reach something, which isn't fair when some parts of our world are still built for standing height. Taiwan's National Cheng Kung University is redressing that imbalance with the i-Transport. Its robotic vehicle can raise the driver to an upright level and shift them into a better position to grab objects that wouldn't otherwise be at arm's length. The added independence doesn't stop with the assistance, either, as the i-Transport carries its own blood pressure and breathing monitors to keep checkups to a minimum. NCKU hasn't said how likely it is that we'll see the robot enter mass production, but we hope it forges ahead -- the potential freedom would be worth the effort.
