MONTREAL , Oct. 14, 2022 /PRNewswire/ - MY01 Inc. today announced that interim data from an ongoing, prospective multi-center study was presented at the Orthopaedic Trauma Association (OTA) Annual Meeting in Tampa, Florida . The data represents the first 95 of 100 patients enrolled in MY01's inaugural post-market study.
Data from a paper titled, "Clinical Trial of a New Device for Real-Time Muscle Pressure Measurements in Patients with an Upper or Lower Extremity Fracture at Risk for Acute Compartment Syndrome" was given in a podium presentation by Dr. Ross Leighton , professor of surgery at Dalhousie University .
Results showed that as a complement to clinical signs, the use of the MY01 Continuous Compartmental Pressure Monitor resulted in all cases of ACS being accurately diagnosed, with no missed cases and no false positives.
"We want to make sure we reduce non-indicated fasciotomies but we also want to make sure we perform surgery on the patients that do require them," said Dr. Ross Leighton . "The trends shown by continuous monitoring have been very enlightening and are a good indicator if the patient is developing ACS, helping support our decision-making process."
This data is the result of a multi-center, prospective trial of the MY01 device as an adjunct to the standard clinical monitoring for ACS. This cohort study was performed for patients with long bone trauma of lower or upper extremities at risk of developing compartment syndrome in six Level 1 trauma centers across Canada .
"We're happy to see such positive results from this study, as we believe that continuous pressure monitoring is a key component in the accurate diagnosing of ACS," said Charles Allan , CEO of MY01, Inc. "MY01 is setting the gold standard in terms of providing actionable data to all members of a patient's care team."
About MY01, Inc. MY01, Inc. is on a mission to empower healthcare professionals with the objective data to aid in the diagnosis of compartment syndrome, thereby improving patient outcomes.

The things to remember about dementia are that it is absolutely horrible for you and everyone around you; it’s a high probability; and when it comes to fighting it or avoiding it you are pretty much on your own. Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias are currently killing 6.5 million people in the United States and devastating the lives of many times that when you count the patients’ friends and family. The National Institutes of Health reckons this number is likely to double in the next four decades.
Medical stocks don't generally have high dividends, but Abbvie (NYSE: ABBV), Pfizer (NYSE: PFE), and Gilead Sciences (NASDAQ: GILD) all have dividends with yields of 3.5% or more, and these pharmaceuticals stocks serve as a great hedge against inflation because their business models are largely resistant to recessions. A high-yielding dividend without sound fundamentals can easily become a dividend trap, but all three of these companies have pipelines with great potential and a strong history of increasing revenue -- and none appear to be overpriced yet. AbbVie is a new Dividend King.
