BusinessWire posts a press release from Medtronic on effects of pressurized nasal irrigation with special solution(s) on bacterial content in chronic sinus and ear infections.
Actually, this is good news. I was talking to a person a few weeks ago who has had a 3-year joyful ride-along with chronic infection in hear ear. According to her there is no greater joy in life than dealing with that… I suppose that could be quite a serious problem… Today the just rinse your ear with antibiotics. So, what’s new in this offer from Medtronic? I think not much, but read on and see for yourself.
Coolest-gadgets.com publishes a story on IOGear’s new antibacterial mouse. This thing actually sterilizes! :) Haha. Cute.
IOGear presents a bunch of new USB products and the coolest one is the wireless laser mouse that comes with an antibacterial nano coating technology.
The coating is composed of Titanium Dioxide (TiO2) and Silver (Ag) nano-particle, and uses two mechanisms that deactivate the enzymes and proteins of the bacteria, making it impossible for them to survive on the surface of the mouse.
On its site, IOGear informs us that the mouse is not to be used as an antibiotic and that the user should not ingest the surface material under any circumstances. Thanks a lot for this warning, IOGear, if it wasn’t for that, I’d probably swallow my mouse in the event of a mild fever.
The mouse costs US$ 39.95, find out more at IOGear’s website.

Ha ha!

LOL! So, there’s only a few that actually work, huh? Wow… who allows these products on the market??? I thought FDA is supposed to be keeping a watchful eye on this kind of stuff, no? Anybody?? We’re not talking about Acinetobacter here!! Just about dirty hands… well, hands washed with cleaning products…
Hmm… strange… Oh well…
Interesting. I would like to know the response of those vendors whose products failed. Actually, this article gives me a good idea for setting up my own test of my own technology. Head-on comparison with alcohol, cleaning products, soap, etc.
Don’t you think? Bacteria get in through openings, and the least protected seems to me the mouth, offering great temperature, moisture, and gas levels for bacteria to thrive.
CHICAGO Two new studies in the Journal of Periodontology explore the possible link between periodontal bacteria and coronary artery disease as well as periodontal bacteria and preeclampsia. These studies found that periodontal bacteria, which are often invisible to the naked eye, may account for big effects on general health conditions.
Ok, so DiabetesHealth talks about novel findings in links of moth-living bacteria and various internal diseases. This, to me, is an obvious finding long overdue.
Well, food sanitation is a much-needed addon as well as, well, overall oral hygiene. Yes yes. Listen to your mother!
