Health can sometimes take a back seat. However, the importance of monitoring our body’s vital signs cannot be overstated. Regularly checking body temperature is crucial, especially in the current climate where viral infections are prevalent. Using a reliable and accurate thermometer like the Exergen Temporal Artery Thermometer can make this task easier and more efficient.  […]

Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) has long been recognized as a significant threat to infants, particularly premature babies and small children. However, recent data underscores the danger this pathogen poses to older adults, a risk that is “completely underestimated,” according to infectious disease specialist Clemens Wendtner. Given the similarities in symptoms between RSV, influenza, and COVID-19, […]

With the rebound of various infectious diseases such as dengue fever and measles in many parts of the world, health authorities are urging individuals to be vigilant about their health. The National Institute of Disease Control and Prevention (NIDC) in China has highlighted the increasing risk of importing epidemics from other countries, emphasizing the need […]

Meningitis, a severe infection characterized by the inflammation of the meninges—the protective membranes covering the brain and spinal cord—poses a significant health risk, especially in certain populations. Meningitis cases occur in children, with older adults, immunosuppressed individuals, and those in densely populated settings also at high risk. The importance of regular temperature monitoring for early […]

The conversation surrounding post-viral syndromes has been predominantly centered around COVID-19 and its long-term effects, commonly referred to as Long Covid. However, recent research from the Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis reveals that influenza, much like its viral counterpart, can also lead to significant long-term health issues, dubbed “Long Flu.”  This important […]

The bacteria Streptococcus pyogenes, also known as “killer bacteria”, is causing concern due to the increase in cases and fatalities in Chile, Argentina, and Japan. This bacteria is dangerous for people with weakened immune systems, it aggravates the symptoms of influenza patients and can cause minor infections to serious and fatal complications.  According to César […]

In the Northern Hemisphere, summer travel is rapidly approaching. While it’s a season of excitement and relaxation, it also marks a time when the risk of contracting viruses is significantly higher. With people traveling from various regions and gathering in popular destinations, the spread of illnesses like norovirus and influenza is particularly prevalent. To ensure […]

In critical care, the accurate monitoring of vital signs is paramount. A Mortality rates among adult critical care patients with unusual or extreme values of vital signs and other physiological parameters: a retrospective study recently published in Acute and Critical Care by Harding, Pompei, Burmistrov and Pompei underscores the critical role that vital signs play […]

Healthcare technology is rapidly advancing and wireless connectivity is becoming increasingly vital in hospitals worldwide, including China. This case study explores the integration of wireless connectivity in temperature monitoring at Shanghai Kongjiang Hospital, a medical institution affiliated with Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine. The focus is on the use of the Exergen Temporal […]
