With laboratories under pressure, automation allows staff to gain back time. Here, Megan Northam explains how her laboratory has benefited from the features of the OsmoPRO MAX Automated Osmometer The OsmoPRO MAX Automated Osmometer uses freezing point depression to provide fully automated testing for urine, serum and plasma osmolality. Suited for laboratories of all sizes, the instrument ...
· Drug Screening & Toxicity Testing – Patient-derived organoids aid in high-throughput drug screening and predictive toxicity evaluations while advancing precision medicine strategies. ...
The new joint guideline states that if the FeNO result is raised above 50 ppb, and supports the clinical history and examination of the patient, no further testing is required – this is adequate to diagnose asthma. ...
Moreover, they provide a safer and more ethical alternative to animal testing by enabling in vitro experimentation. One notable application of stable cell lines is in cancer research, where they are used to model tumor behavior and test potential treatments. ...
Asthma management (adults): FeNO testing provides a significant advantage to health care professionals when monitoring asthma patients, including assessment of response to newly prescribed asthma therapies and regular review of adherence to medications. ...
If you’ve ever studied the causes of a skin complaint or damaged hair, chances are someone on the internet has pointed the finger at SLS, or sodium lauryl (or laureth) sulfate, a common ingredient in beauty products, washes, toothpastes and even cleaning products.So what does this ingredient do, why is it in everything, and what does the evidence say about how safe it ...
Before the start of the breath test, the patient must follow a strict protocol. This includes a restricted diet followed by a fasting period. ...
The NObreath® offers two test modes: A 12-second test mode and a 10-second test mode for those up to 10 years old who cannot complete the 12-second test mode. ...
Patients receive instant results, eliminating wait times. Intended for adult and paediatric patients**, the NObreath® offers two test modes: a 10-second test mode for those up to 10 years old who cannot complete the 12-second test mode. ...
Most drug failures occur in Phase II and Phase III clinical trials when drugs move from immortalized cell lines and animal testing to human patients. One of the primary reasons for these late-stage failures is that the heterogeneity of human subjects is not introduced until clinical trials are already ...
New technology should ideally be easy for patients to use, easy for competent healthcare professionals to teach to others who might undertake testing, and suitable for testing on a broad age range. ...
Patients with other rheumatologic diseases were generally negative for ACA with a few exceptions, such as those with RA overlap syndromes. ACA values correlated with titers of rheumatoid factor. The ACA test segregated seronegative RA patients into two distinct categories, while seropositive RA patients with a positive ACA had ...
This could revolutionize the field of organ transplantation and offer hope to patients with organ failure. Drug testing: Bioprinted tissues can be used to test new drugs and therapies in a more realistic and humane way than traditional animal models. ...

Packaging validation evaluates the performance of sterile barriers throughout manufacturing and distribution. This testing protects patient health by ensuring that products remain free of contaminants. ...
The ability to influence the differentiation of iPSCs, combined with the fact they can be generated from patients’ own cells, has opened intriguing possibilities for patient-specific drug testing, disease modeling, and therapeutic transplantation. ...
Since then, scoring systems have been published to purportedly improve diagnosis in patients with suspected HFpEF. These scoring systems, however, are not always accurate. According to literature, at least 30% of cases are classified as indeterminate[2], which means that a significant number of patients are likely to require additional invasive hemodynamic ...
Doctors used to study these diseases by monitoring patients' vital signs and analyzing laboratory test results. Then, with the development of biological technology, the physiological alternation is found at tissue, cellular, or even molecular levels. ...
As such, the diagnostic gold standard is cardiac catheterization showing increased LV filling pressures.[16] Exercise and invasive testing The diagnostic conundrum in these patients has led to the introduction of invasive stress methods to evaluate HFpEF, where cardiac filling pressures are alleviated exclusively during hemodynamic exercise ...
However, removing excess fluid from patients with ADHF is still essential for treating the volume overloaded (congested) patient with ADHF. ...
Lyme Disease & Pharmaceutical Development New medicines and treatment need to go through extensive testing and study before they can be considered effective and safe. Before human testing is even considered, new drugs are developed in the laboratory. ...
