@Teddy100 Good job!

Engineers have developed a technique to measure blood pressure similar to a sphygmomanometer by reading the pressure in a person's thumb as they press the home button on their phone

Scientists have created a multilayer plasmonic sensor that detects the presence of the cancer biomarker carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) to the magnitude of 1 nanogram per milliliter

MIT engineers have designed a nano particle that can carry three or more drugs at a time. This is particularly beneficial for ovarian cancer patients because they require three drugs and nanotherapy significantly reduces adverse side effects.

Nanoparticles are significantly improving chemotherapy drug delivery by accurately delivering the drugs to the correct cells. But current particles can only carry one or two drugs at a time in correct ratios

Microfluidic devices made from poly(dimethylsiloxane) are gas permeable and provides accurate on-chip oxygen regulation. https://t.co/NsAcjw6u8W

[Oxygen Devices @cdonna0809]

This oxygen device works in two ways, as an inhalator and resuscitator. The inhalator component supplies supplemental oxygen and the resuscitator is an oxygen enriched mouth-to mask CPR. https://t.co/V4z7jSGrPj

Oxygen gas can be stored in a portable tank. These are called compressed gas systems. https://t.co/XE73Esg1eJ

[PetraAkintiOnyegbule @PetraOnyegbule]

A small cylinder of oxygen which lasts for about 8 hours costs #3,500. An extremely preterm neonate needs round the clock oxygen because it was born before its lungs developed to function on its own.

That means... https://t.co/PuAZkCBbu8

[Oxygen Devices @cdonna0809]

The gas saver Oxysaver 8 dispenses medical oxygen in a specified volume, in addition to regulating the amount of oxygen, depending on physical activity. https://t.co/VmthX1hUKI

[Oxygen Devices @cdonna0809]

The amount of oxygen a patient receives from an uncontrolled device depends on variables including depth and rate of breathing. https://t.co/ohggYUzj2s

[Oxygen Devices @cdonna0809]

The oxygen flow rate is the number that we dial up on the oxygen flow meter, while FiO2 is defined as the percentage or concentration of oxygen that a person inhales. https://t.co/WNwdgY1TAr

[Oxygen Devices @cdonna0809]

Manufacturers of Oxygen Conserving Devices say they help providers by reducing the frequency of refills, cylinders and deliveries. https://t.co/FlGIbhgwHf

[Oxygen Devices @cdonna0809]

Safely delivering oxygen to patients requires equipment like pulse oximeters and oxygen generation and delivery devices. https://t.co/u7aUZEc6UY

[Oxygen Devices @cdonna0809]

This device measures oxygen levels in athletes' muscles! https://t.co/zgyOCQw6wx

[Oxygen Devices @cdonna0809]

Portable Oxygen Concentrators can provide pulses of oxygen either to provide higher intermittent flows or to reduce the power consumption. https://t.co/ttvzUl1WgV
