This Common Heart Attack Drug May Actually Be Worthless for Most People

gizmodo.com Ed Cara 2025-10-21 03:50:06

A common treatment given after heart attacks may not be worthwhile for a large segment of the population. New trial data finds that most people who suffer a heart attack do not benefit from taking beta-blockers afterward. A large international team of researchers conducted the trial, which compared the outcomes of nearly 10,000 heart attack patients who were either given beta-blocker therapy or not. “This trial will reshape all international clinical guidelines.’ On average, people with prese

The first inkjet printer was a medical device

Millions of people worldwide have reason to be thankful that Swedish engineer Rune Elmqvist decided not to practice medicine. Although qualified as a doctor, he chose to invent medical equipment instead. In 1949, while working at Elema-Schonander (later Siemens-Elema), in Stockholm, he applied for a patent for the Mingograph, the first inkjet printer. Its movable nozzle deposited an electrostatically controlled jet of ink droplets on a spool of paper. Rune Elmqvist qualified to be a physician,

Elehear Beyond Pro Review: Big Hearing Aids

wired.com Christopher Null 2025-10-31 03:00:00

In the world of hearing aids, size is second only to audio quality.

At 4.75 grams, the devices were some of the largest I’ve ever tested (nearly double the weight of some competing models), which made them cumbersome and uncomfortable, a major theme in m
