by South Ural State University, South Ural State University Scientists of South Ural State University have developed a technique to identify the functional state of the brain with absolute accuracy. The results of the study will contribute to medical and physiological diagnostics. Electroencephalography is a study of the brainbased on the recording of its bioelectric...
by Edith M. Lederer The World Health Organization chief said Monday there are around seven or eight “top” candidates for a vaccine to combat the novel coronavirus and work on them is being accelerated. WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus told a U.N. Economic and Social Council video briefing the original thinking two months ago was...
by Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard Researchers have developed a new technology that flexibly scales up CRISPR-based molecular diagnostics, using microfluidics chips that can run thousands of tests simultaneously. A single chip’s capacity ranges from detecting a single type of virus in more than 1,000 samples at a time to searching a small number...
A new type of sensor device from the German health technology company Digital Diagnostics AG can be used for immediate tests for the new SARS coronavirus. The SARS-CoV-2 MEMS 5 Minute Test(TM) is created as a pocket-size lab and can be used in four steps anywhere on-site by general practitioners, paramedics and nursing staff without...
by American Heart Association A portable, low-field Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) system may become a safe and practical way to get accurate brain images at a patient’s bedside, according to preliminary research to be presented at the American Stroke Association’s International Stroke Conference 2020—Feb. 19-21 in Los Angeles, a world premier meeting for researchers and...
by University of California, San Francisco A low-cost test that screens for excess protein in the urine has been shown to accurately identify patients at higher risk for progressive kidney disease after being hospitalized for acute kidney injury, according to a new study by researchers at UC San Francisco. A low-cost test that screens for...
by Society of Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging A combination of multispectral optoacoustic tomography (MSOT) and ultrasound has been used to noninvasively characterize a range of thyroid disorders, according to new research published in the October issue of The Journal of Nuclear Medicine. By providing a semiquantitative analysis of functional parameters and tissue characterization, the...
Published Today By Maria Cohut Fact checked by Carolyn Robertson Some researchers argue that there may be a direct link between having diabetes and exposure to an increased risk of metastasis in cancer. New research validates this idea, explaining how diabetes can elevate this risk. Hundreds of millions of people across the globe live with...
APRIL 25TH, 2019 POSTED BY TAMARA BHANDARI-WASHINGTON UNIVERSITY UNIVERSITY WASHINGTON UNIVERSITY IN ST. LOUIS Despite marketing claims that home pregnancy tests are 99 percent accurate, research over the past decade has shown that up to 5 percent of them return false negatives. Each year, women in the US rely on some 20 million of these tests. Makers of pregnancy tests advise...
Immunoassays are bioanalytical methods that use the specificity of an antigen-antibody reaction to detect and quantify target molecules in biological samples. These methods are frequently used in clinical diagnostics, drug discovery, drug monitoring, and food testing. Types of immunoassays The principle of an immune assay is based on competitions between a fixed amount of labeled...
