In November, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention released revised guidelines for opioid prescribing with new recommendations for providers that emphasize greater communication with patients and states that opioids should not be on the front line for managing pain. The CDC’s previous guidelines, released in 2016, recommended what many considered harsh reductions in pain medication prescribing that led to a host of laws and other regulations that left pain undertreated and often unmanaged, according to experts.

The construction equipment brand Doosan has rebranded and will now be known as DEVELON, effective immediately. The company will continue to produce equipment and other products as it has in the past. According to the company, work began to identify a new brand name to replace Doosan following the August 2021 sale of Doosan Infracore to HD Hyundai (formerly Hyundai Heavy Industries Holdings Co. HHIH). The name DEVELON was chosen to “convey the company’s drive to develop onward to bring innovative solutions to the construction equipment industry through technological transformation and the development of exceptional equipment and services.” DEVELON will continue as a subsidiary in the Hyundai Genuine group alongside Hyundai Construction Equipment. These two subsidiaries will remain independent construction equipment companies under HD Hyundai.
