 Elderly medical supplies such as bars, bathtub mats, bed rails, canes and many more can help prevent injury and death in your aging loved one. All of these products are designed to help prevent falls, which are the leading cause of injury and death among older Americans, according to the CDC. Did you know that every second of every day in the United States an adult aged 65 or older falls? And if an older adult falls and no one is around to hear them, do they make a sound? Yes, they do – provided they own a Smart Patient Alarm. “Older adult falls are increasing and, sadly, often herald the end of independence,” CDC Director Tom Frieden said. “Healthcare providers can make fall prevention a routine part of care in their practice, and older adults can take steps to protect themselves.”

Taking vitamin D supplements – widely available as medical supplies online – along with  standard asthma medication can reduce severe asthma attacks. That is the conclusion that London-based independent, non-profit, non-governmental organization Cochrane reached following a review of nine clinical trials – seven involving 435 children and two involving 658 adults. The participants came from such countries as Canada, India, Japan, Poland, the UK, and the United States, and most of them had mild to moderate asthma, while a minority had severe asthma. Furthermore, the majority of the subjects kept taking their usual asthma medication throughout the studies, which lasted 6-12 months.
