LAUDERDALE, Fla., Feb. 2, 2015 \/PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE\/ &#8212; <b>Untold News<\/b>,<b> (<\/b><a href=\"http:\/\/www.untoldnews.org\/\" target=\"_blank\"><b>www.untoldnews.org<\/b><\/a><b>)<\/b>, a non-profit news service highlighting Israeli innovation, released details today about two ground-breaking Israeli developments that offer new hope for the nearly <u>19 million U.S. Asthma sufferers, 40% of whom are Latinos<\/u>.* The first Israeli innovation, developed by Prof. Elizabeth Fireman of the Institute of Pulmonary and Allergic Diseases at Tel Aviv University, is a new diagnostic induced sputum (IS) and analysis technique, which identifies microscopic foreign particles in your lungs.\u00a0 This technique was tested on 39 firefighters at Ground Zero after 9\/11 and the results were compared against\u00a0a control group of Israeli firefighters,\u00a0identifying toxic metals including mercury in the rescue workers&#8217; lungs. \u00a0The second innovation, the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.israel21c.org\/health\/a-smarter-inhaler-for-asthmatic-kids\/\" target=\"_blank\">Inspiromatic<\/a>, created by Israeli mechanical engineer Nimrod Kaufmann with Dr. Guy Steuer, senior pulmonologist at Schneider Children&#8217;s Medical Center, is a device which takes the place of hard-to-use nebulizers for young children as well as the elderly and people with certain disabilities.\u00a0 <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Latinos are disproportionately impacted by Asthma and it is innovations such as these that can dramatically change the lives of the millions who suffer daily,&#8221; says Raja M. Flores MD, Chairman, Department of Thoracic Surgery Mount Sinai Health System.\u00a0 &#8220;I encourage my colleagues across the country to explore these innovations and examine opportunities for partnership and collaboration.&#8221;\u00a0\u00a0 <\/p>\n<p>Each of the Israeli innovations listed above are at different stages of development and optimism for official release is high.\u00a0 In fact, the IS technique recently underwent a new study soon to be published in which Dr. Fireman and her team of researchers compared the IS technique to environmental monitoring in mapping air pollution. They examined 136 urban children evaluated for asthmatic symptoms. \u00a0And, the Inspiromatic successfully completed a clinical study at Schneider Children&#8217;s Medical Center. <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Sharing these ingenious innovations with America&#8217;s medical community and asthma suffers, not only inspires hope but also nurtures game-changing collaborations,&#8221; explains Marcella Rosen, President and Founder of Untold News.\u00a0\u00a0 &#8220;We are thrilled to offer this resource to the growing Latino audience who\u2014similar to Israelis\u2014have overcome adversity, and as a result, thrive in entrepreneurial spirit,&#8221; Rosen concludes.\u00a0 <\/p>\n<p><b>About Untold News<\/b><\/p>\n<p>In 2010, Marcella Rosen founded Untold News (untoldnews.org) to inform Americans about the positive, non-political aspects of Israel.
