In a 670-patient study funded by the International Society of Nephrology, the South Africa Medical Research Council, and the University of Witwatersrand, Johannesburg, South Africa, the Nova POC StatSensor Creatinine/ eGFR meter was more accurate than the central laboratory IDMS-traceable Jaffe methodology in estimating GFR when both methods were compared to measured GFR (mGFR).
The U.S. FDA has authorized marketing of a device to help diagnose autism spectrum disorder (ASD). The Cognoa ASD Diagnosis Aid is a machine learning-based software intended to help healthcare providers diagnose ASD in children 18 months through 5 years of age who exhibit potential symptoms of the disorder.
A new imaging technique has the potential to detect neurological disorders – such as Alzheimer’s disease – at their earliest stages, enabling physicians to diagnose and treat patients more quickly. Termed ‘super-resolution’, the imaging methodology combines position emission tomography (PET) with an external motion tracking device to create highly detailed images of the brain. This […]
Leeds Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust (LTHT) has successfully implemented Agfa HealthCare’s Enterprise Imaging (EI) solution, a unified platform complete with clinical tools, reporting and a workflow engine that will help the LTHT maximise its productivity and collaborate with neighbouring Trusts.
Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) images are usually meant to be static. But now, researchers from Mātai Medical Research Institute (Mātai), Stevens Institute of Technology, Stanford University, the University of Auckland and other institutions, report on an imaging technique that captures the brain in motion in real time, in 3D and in stunning detail, providing a […]
For bedridden individuals, everything revolves around the correct resting position in the bed. The position must be adjusted to match each individual patient and their physical condition. This means the patient’s position in the bed must be changed regularly to take pressure off of areas of the patient’s body and to prevent pressure sores.
Researchers warn complications may cause a substantial strain on health and social care in the coming years An observational study of more than 70,000 people in 302 UK hospitals finds that one in two people hospitalised with COVID-19 developed at least one complication.

Together with Baylor College of Medicine and the world’s leading sequencing company, Illumina, researchers at Ghent University have built one of the most comprehensive catalogues of the human transcriptome ever.
Inspired by kirigami, the Japanese art of folding and cutting paper to create threedimensional structures, MIT engineers and their collaborators have designed a new type of stent that could be used to deliver drugs to the gastrointestinal tract, respiratory tract, or other tubular organs in the body.
As of 26 May this year, new EU rules on medical devices (MDR) entered into application, establishing a modern and more robust regulatory framework to protect public health and patient safety. The new rules start applying after a one-year postponement due to the unprecedented challenges of the Covid-19, addressing the need for an increased availability […]
