University of Pittsburgh researchers have developed a CIBOO, a novel controllable intravesical bladder outlet occlusion device. The device will be the first urinary control device controlled by strong magnets, being held in position at the bladder neck by an extracorporeal permanent magnet in the user's undergarments. This easy to use, device could be controlled by an external magnet to enable those with urinary incontinence more confidence and control over urine flow.
Researchers from University of Pittsburgh have developed a device designed to collect exhaled respiratory aerosols from mechanically ventilated patients. This device is designed to be non-invasive, highly efficient and can be readily placed in the exhalation line of ventilators without interfering in the functions of the ventilator. However, endotracheal aspirate by contaminated by upper airway secretions The collection of BAL is less prone to contamination, but it is invasive and unable to be repeated frequently.
- Rapid improvements in sleep latency, wake after sleep onset, sleep efficiency, and subjective sleep quality. This behavioral sleep management program features a two‐session format led by a nurse clinician, beginning with a 45-minute face-to-face meeting that combines education on basic sleep physiology with four tailored directives: restrict time in bed to average nightly sleep plus 30 minutes (never below six hours), maintain a fixed morning wake‐up time, go to bed only when sleepy, and leave the bed if unable to sleep. A 30-minute booster session in week two reinforces these rules, while brief telephone check-ins before and after the booster use sleep-diary data to fine-tune time-in-bed windows and promote adherence to both sleep restriction and consistent wake-up schedules.
