Reported Sunday, Medtronic Evolut TAVR Demonstrates Sustained Valve Performance And Lower Cardiovascular Mortality Trend At 5 Years

On Sunday, Chinese Vice Premier He Lifeng met with top executives from Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>), Pfizer Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PFE#NYSE">PFE</a>), Mastercard Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MA#NYSE">MA</a>), Eli Lilly and Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LLY#NYSE">LLY</a>), Cargill, and other major firms.
What Happened: "China will continue to improve the business environment and welcome more investment by multinational companies in China, sharing opportunities for development," he told the leaders, describing the country's economy as "highly resilient" and "full of vitality."
Executives from medical device maker Medtronic PLC (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MDT#NYSE">MDT</a>) and investment management firm Conning were also in attendance, reported Reuters, citing a statement from China's Ministry of Commerce.
However, the statement did not specify where the meeting took place.
Many of the executives are in Beijing to attend the China Development Forum, where further high-level meetings, including a possible session with President Xi Jinping, are expected later this week, the report noted, citing unnamed sources.

While American companies made up the largest group at this year's forum, sources say fewer U.S. CEOs attended compared to last year—signaling ongoing caution in cross-border corporate relations, the report noted.
Previously, the Chinese President expressed concerns about the possibility of China facing isolation similar to the Soviet Union during the Cold War. The ongoing trade war has heightened <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/25/03/44161587/is-china-apprehensive-of-losing-the-trade-war-to-the-us-china-could-get-isolated-like-moscow-fears-xi-jinping">fears of economic isolation</a>.

FDA Approves Medtronic's Adaptive Deep Brain Stimulation System For Parkinson's Patients

New closed-loop system self-adjusts DBS therapy to individual brain activity&nbsp;in real time; the largest commercial launch of brain-computer interface technology ever&nbsp;
GALWAY, Ireland, Feb. 24, 2025 /PRNewswire/ --&nbsp;For the one million people diagnosed with Parkinson's disease in the United States1, Medtronic plc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MDT#NYSE">MDT</a>), a global leader in healthcare technology, proudly announces U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval of BrainSense&#x2122; Adaptive deep brain stimulation (aDBS) and BrainSense&#x2122; Electrode Identifier (EI).
There is no cure for debilitating neurological conditions like Parkinson's, however, deep brain stimulation (DBS) has been transforming the lives of people with Parkinson's and other neurological disorders for more than 30 years. DBS is similar to a cardiac pacemaker, but for the brain. It uses a surgically implanted neurostimulator via a minimally invasive procedure to transmit electrical signals to specific parts of the brain affected by debilitating neurological disorders.
Now Medtronic has enhanced its Percept&#x2122; DBS neurostimulators with exclusive BrainSense&#x2122; Adaptive technology†, introducing aDBS for people living with Parkinson's. This feature personalizes therapy based on a patient's brain activity in real time – both in clinical settings and in daily life2. It provides enhanced therapy personalization for symptom control that automatically adjusts, minimizing the need for patients to manually adjust stimulation.
