The first-ever neuroimmune modulation implant has been approved for people with moderate to severe rheumatoid arthritis (RA) who haven't found relief with traditional medications. It's a potentially life-changing technology that can zap pain by delivering one-minute electrical pulses to the vagus nerve – a key neural pathway that regulates inflammation.

Smoking's not often touted for its health benefits. But it's been known to help those suffering from colitis even though it exacerbates Crohn's disease. New research that could help treat the conditions says it all has to do with bacteria migration.

Garmin has always been well known for virtual on-screen marine navigation, but since 2019 it's also been doing some work on the mechanical side of on-water navigation through its Force lineup of trolling motors. Its latest Force drive might just be its most innovative yet. The lightweight Current electric kayak motor goes totally hands-free with a foot pedal system Garmin calls an industry first. Keep your bait in the water while cruising forward, reversing and performing zero turns.

If you deal with waves of drowsiness during the day, you might be among the estimated 33% of the population who suffer from excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS), a common but often unrecognized condition that's linked to a host of increased health risks including cardiovascular disease and diabetes. Now, researchers have identified the biological markers of it, bringing targeted treatment within reach.

Since revealing its 2nd-generation Transit Custom in 2022, Ford has used each subsequent Düsseldorf Caravan Salon to debut a different new-generation Nugget camper van, first in 2023 with its standard-wheelbase Nugget and PHEV preview, then last year with the first long-wheelbase models. This year marks its third opportunity, and it will grab that opportunity by debuting a new Nugget variant it calls "completely winter-proof." In the process, it will leapfrog Volkswagen yet again with a fully hard-sided four-sleeper layout VW doesn't offer in this segment.

Most 3D-printed houses we cover are either arranged on one floor or have an upper floor added later using a timber shell. However, this recent example, by Contec Australia, was entirely 3D-printed across both floors in just 18 hours.
