Many diseases, including cancers, leave genetic clues in the body just as criminals leave DNA at the scene of a crime. But tools to detect the DNA-like sickness clues known as miRNAs, tend to be slow and expensive.
Dexcom, a leader in continuous glucose monitoring, announced today that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration has approved its eagerly anticipated new continuous glucose monitoring system, the Dexcom G4™ PLATINUM.
A new paper authored by Gilles Puy, José Marques, Rolf Gruetter, Jean-Philippe Thiran, Dimitri Van De Ville, Pierre Vandergheynst and Yves WIaux has been published in the IEEE Trans. on Medical Imaging.
UCLA researchers have for the first time measured the activity of a brain region known to be involved in learning, memory and Alzheimer's disease during sleep. They discovered that this region, called the entorhinal cortex, behaves as if it's remembering something, even during anesthesia–induced sleep — a finding that counters conventional theories about sleep-time memory consolidation.
A new study from Karolinska Institutet in Sweden demonstrates that a change in the ECG wave called the QRS prolongation is associated with a higher rate of heart-failure mortality. According to the team that carried out the study, which is published in the scientific periodical The European Heart Journal, the discovery suggests that more heart-failure cases than the most serious could be helped by pacemakers.
STMicroelectronics, a global semiconductor leader serving customers across the spectrum of electronics applications, and Preventice, Inc.TM, a leading developer of mobile health solutions and remote monitoring systems, announced today that ST is providing wearable body sensor technologies to power the new BodyGuardian Remote Monitoring System (RMS)TM from Preventice.
OrSense Ltd., developer of monitors for non-invasive measurements of various blood parameters, reports today that its non-invasive Hemoglobin (Hb) monitor was the topic of multiple recent studies highlighting the clinical value of the device. Five studies, from various countries around the world, will be presented as posters at the AABB Annual Meeting & CTTXPO 2012, held at Boston on October 6-9, 2012, and two were presented in the DGTI Annual Congress held at Graz, Austria in September.
Scripps Health announced today that it has been awarded a $3.75 million grant from the Qualcomm Foundation, to be used for the Scripps Translational Science Institute, which was established by Scripps Health in collaboration with various parties to support the development of breakthrough digital technologies designed to revolutionize the practice of medicine.
An interdisciplinary team of Stony Brook University researchers have been selected to receive a three year National Science Foundation (NSF) award for the development of a personalized asthma monitor that uses nanotechnology to detect known airway inflammation biomarkers in the breath. The project, “Personalized Asthma Monitor Detecting Nitric Oxide in Breath,” comes with a $599,763 award funded through August 31, 2015.
Baltimore-based Johns Hopkins University Whiting School of Engineering and Johns Hopkins School of Medicine researchers have integrated computer-controlled piezoelectric motors to Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) imaging technique as a distance sensor for optimizing the tip of a surgical tool.
