Pickleball-Related Eye Injuries
Pickleball-related eye injuries are on the rise due to the sport’s rapid growth in the United States, especially among adults aged 50 and older
Neuranova
NeuraNova is a rebranded medical device company (formerly StrokeDx) that focuses on rapid, portable stroke and neurovascular assessment using non‑invasive sensor technology. Its core aim is to move stroke “imaging” or physiologic assessment closer to the point of first contact—bedside or prehospital—so treatment decisions can be made faster.
What NeuraNova Does
-
NeuraNova develops portable neurovascular diagnostic devices intended to detect and monitor brain fluid and vascular changes without invasive procedures or ionizing radiation.
-
The company’s mission statement emphasizes “time is brain,” highlighting that every minute of delayed stroke treatment leads to loss of millions of neurons, and that faster detection should improve outcomes.
Key Devices Under Development
-
STEDI Scan: A portable, automated bioimpedance-based device designed for in‑hospital use to monitor patients at risk of brain fluid‑volume changes at the bedside.
-
FLASH device: A handheld, compact instrument using the same core sensor technology, intended for field or event‑site neurovascular assessment outside traditional hospital environments.
Technology Concept
-
Both devices are built around a shared non‑invasive sensor platform that measures changes in electrical properties or fluid distribution in the head to infer neurovascular status.
-
The design goal is to provide rapid, objective, and easy‑to‑interpret data to clinicians without requiring CT/MRI, thereby bridging gaps in stroke and neurovascular care where advanced imaging is not immediately available.
Position in Stroke Detection Landscape
-
NeuraNova fits into a broader trend of portable stroke technologies (e.g., microwave imaging, bioimpedance, eddy‑current sensors) aimed at differentiating ischemic from hemorrhagic stroke, or detecting hemorrhage, in minutes at the point of care.
-
Such devices are particularly relevant for prehospital settings, rural/remote care, and rapid triage to appropriate stroke centers, where conventional imaging access is delayed.

ALS (Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis) is a progressive and fatal neurodegenerative disease affecting nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord that control voluntary muscles, leading to muscle weakness, paralysis, and ultimately respiratory failure.
Common Hormones and Their Nicknames
Many hormones also have scientific abbreviations and are grouped by chemical classes (e.g., peptide, steroid, amine). The nicknames often come from their most prominent and publicized effects on health or behavior.
