The worldwide market for acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) devices is projected to achieve a value of $19.5 billion by 2029. The key driving factors behind this expansion include a rising occurrence of acute lung injury and related medical conditions, a growing elderly population, and the absence of effective pharmacological treatments for ARDS.

Globally, ARDS affects over 3 million people annually, constituting 10% of ICU admissions, with around 200,000 cases in the US. ALI's incidence is 17-34 cases per 100,000 person-years, but assessing ALI/ARDS is complex due to various factors. Pharmacological treatments for ARDS are lacking. Supportive care relies on lung-protective mechanical ventilation, oxygen supplementation, and addressing underlying causes. Aerosol delivery to the lung's distal areas is a promising method for potential therapies. 

The global ARDS products market includes market size, share, growth trends, and forecasts (CAGR%) from 2023 to 2029. The market is segmented by product (airway and pulmonary management devices, ventilators, drug/fluid delivery devices), end users (hospitals, clinics, others), and geography.

South Africa's Minister of Health, Dr. Joe Phaahla, has called for continued vigilance after the country reported another imported case of cholera. The case involves a 24-year-old South African man who traveled from Karachi, Pakistan, a region known to be cholera endemic. He arrived in the country on July 16, 2023, and experienced symptoms of abdominal cramps, vomiting, and diarrhea after a meal on July 14.  He has been discharged and is recovering well at home.

Contact tracing has been implemented, and four family members and one friend have been identified as contacts.

This recent case brings the total number of imported cholera cases recorded in the country this year to three, with two cases previously detected in people who traveled from Malawi. Since February this year, the country has recorded a total of 199 laboratory-confirmed cholera cases, with the last positive case reported on June 19 in Hammanskraal under the Tshwane District.

Although the cholera outbreak in some parts of the country is currently under control, Minister Phaahla urges the public to remain vigilant and maintain a high level of personal hygiene at all times to prevent the possible transmission of waterborne and foodborne diseases.
