Pregnancy and childbirth are critical moments in the life of a woman, marking the beginning of a new chapter in their lives with the arrival of a newborn. While most pregnancies and deliveries occur without significant complications, there are instances where the health of the mother, the baby, or both could be at risk. In such critical situations, blood transfusions can be a lifeline, ensuring ...
Many important research questions cannot be studied under controlled circumstances. Events like natural disasters or disease exposure often occur without warning and prevent in-person clinic visits, making timely observation difficult without a flexible approach. At the University of Washington, researchers are partnering with Tasso to study these scenarios by deploying on-demand remote ...
Abstract Acute decompensated heart failure remains the most common cause of hospitalization in older adults, and studies of pharmacological therapies have yielded limited progress in improving outcomes for these patients. This has prompted the development of novel device–based interventions, classified mechanistically based on the way in which they intend to improve central hemodynamics, ...
The term sepsis describes the body's extreme response to infection. When a person suffers from sepsis, his or her immune system has been triggered in response to an infection, which causes inflammation and damages tissues in the body. Symptoms of Sepsis The symptoms of sepsis may include: Fever (102 degrees Fahrenheit or higher) Chills Rapid breathing (above 20 breaths per minute) or ...
The technology behind a modern heart rate monitor is a true testament to how medical science has evolved. Heart rate monitors today are not only used for tracking cardiovascular functions in hospital settings but also used as a tool for health and fitness training. They measure and display information in real-time so that medical professionals can make accurate assessments of the patient. In ...

As a technology, photoplethysmography (PPG) has been explored for almost a century, but it is only in the last few years that it has had a broader application beyond specialised medical settings. That has generally been driven by the evolution of smartphones, smartwatches and even smaller wearable devices such as smart rings. PPG is most commonly used in pulse oximetry in clinical settings ...

The New Standard for Blood Culture Collection Sepsis, is a life-threatening condition caused when the body’s response to an infection goes out of balance, which triggers changes that damage other organs. This deadly infection affects almost 1.7 million people a year in the U.S. and kills nearly 270,000 people. To date, blood cultures remain the gold standard for determining if a patient ...
Sight Diagnostics, the Israel-based health-tech company behind the FDA-cleared OLO blood analyzer, today announced that it has raised a $71 million Series D round with participation from Koch Disruptive Technologies, Longliv Ventures (which led its Series C round) and crowd-funding platform OurCrowd. With this, the company has now raised a total of $124 million, though the company declined to ...
Infrascanner 2000 can spot deadly brain bleeds just moments after accident Gadget uses infrared lasers to measure changes in the volume of blood in skull Hopes it could safeguard contact sport athletes after spate of deaths in last year Australia's National Rugby League could soon use a handheld brain scanner used by the military to look for brain bleeds in players. The NRL's chief ...
The haemostatic effect of burned radioactive lantern mantles powder is investigated. Forty one male Wistar rats were divided randomly into three groups. Following anaesthesia, animals' tails were cut off. The volume of blood loss, bleeding time and clotting time in control animals were 4.07 ± 1.69 cc, 127.73 ± 44.98 sec and 107.27 ± 51.11 sec, respectively. In the second ...

Heat stress is currently primarily classified by environmental factors and not physiological factors. It is already known that certain cardiovascular metrics such as heart rate, stroke volume, blood pressure and vascular compliance undergo changes as the body traverses the different classifications of heat stress from heat oedema to heat stroke. However, there is no specific metric that provides ...
