Scientists have developed an innovative patch that can painlessly and continuously measure IgE antibody levels through the skin, helping to detect the risk of anaphylaxis in advance. In the future, the device will be able to transmit data to the user's smartphone for convenient health monitoring.
A new study has shown that RSV infection in early infancy significantly increases the risk of developing asthma, especially in children with a family history of the condition. Preventing RSV can greatly reduce future asthma rates and improve children's long-term health.
