Signifier Medical Technologies LLC (“Signifier” or the “Company”), a Boston-based medical technology company, announced that a peer-reviewed paper has recently been published in Sleep and Breathing. The analysis, published by University of California San Diego investigators Dr. Brandon Nokes, Professor Atul Malhotra, and other collaborators, is based on a post-hoc analysis ...
Post hoc analyses conducted in patient populations at greater risk of progression to severe disease or death suggests that SNG001 may have an important clinical effect on top of standard of care Synairgen plc (LSE: SNG), the respiratory company developing SNG001, an investigational formulation for inhalation containing the broad-spectrum antiviral protein interferon beta, today announces the ...
Accurate breath analysis is key for diagnosis and assessment of pulmonary illnesses. Breath analysis is an important evaluation tool to support respiratory therapists and pulmonologists in the diagnosis and treatment of varying respiratory illnesses. Unfortunately, moisture is an impediment to successful breath analysis. Moisture in breath samples can adversely impact the accuracy of breath ...
A rapid and non-invasive test that can identify whether COVID-19 is present or not can make all the difference in giving people peace of mind to attend appointments for existing medical conditions or to get going again with business, education and sporting activities. This is one of the driving factors for the work of Dr Renelle Myers and her @bccancerfdn team in their Vancouver-based breath ...
Imspex Diagnostics’ proprietary GC-IMS analytical technology platform has built a legacy of being a versatile, accurate and robust analytical research tool in situations where compound combinations are complex and/ or concentrations are low. Much of this legacy has centred around volatile compounds in industrial and more recently environmental and food production settings. The ultra-highly ...
Efforts to develop a quick and non-invasive breath test for the presence of COVID-19 are underway in Vancouver, British Columbia. Imspex’s BreathSpec® is one of a battery of tests that are being used by Dr Renelle Myers and her Vancouver Coastal Health team in their work to develop a breath test that identifies the possible presence of COVID-19 in people who are showing minimal symptoms ...
A non-invasive test for COVID-19 with instant results would be a gamechanger in the efforts against COVID-19. Breath analysis shows a great potential for a rapid, non-invasive detection of COVID-19 infections. Follow our journey around the world, where we shine a light on current research projects where IONICON PTR-TOF instruments are deployed fighting this global pandemic by testing breath for ...
Findings of a feasibility study into the potential for breath analysis to help doctors to differentiate between COVID-19 and other respiratory conditions were published in The Lancet on 24 October 2020. The Imspex Group’s BreathSpec instrument showed clusters of breath compounds reflecting the effects of COVID-19’s multi-system nature. Similar clusters were found independently across ...
SARS-CoV-2 currently has the world in its grasp. A quick, non-invasive test to identify an infection would be a tremendous step forward. There is a high probability that this disease can be detected in the exhaled breath but also monitoring the impact of treatment or medication in exhaled breath is highly relevant. IONICON PTR-TOF systems have become the de-facto standard for real-time breath ...
There is a high probability that this disease can be detected in the exhaled breath but also monitoring the impact of treatment or medication is highly relevant. Sampling exhaled breath is non-invasive and simple. But the analysis is the challenge: Several hundred volatile compounds have so far been identified in exhaled breath and their range of concentrations, typically in the ...
In September the International Association for Breath Research (IABR)’s Breath Summit 2019 took place in Leicestershire, UK. IONICON participated as an exhibitor and with scientific contributions, also conducting a crowd breath experiment. Numerous excellent talks covered the whole spectrum of breath analysis could be enjoyed by the attendees. Several presented PTR-TOF as their main tool ...

Cairn Diagnostics, formerly known as Advanced Breath Diagnostics (ABDiagnostics), has launched the 13C-Spirulina Gastric Emptying Breath Test (GEBT). The GEBT is intended for measurements of the rate of solid-phase gastric emptying and as an aid in the diagnosis of delayed gastric emptying (gastroparesis) in symptomatic adults. The Cairn GEBT was approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration ...
Exposure of primary schoolchildren to outdoor green spaces is linked to an improvement in their cognitive development, finds a new study, which is the first of its kind. The association may be partly explained by reductions in traffic-related air pollution (TRAP) near green areas. Approximately half of the global population live in cities, and it is projected that by 2030, three of every five ...
Researchers at the University of Birmingham have published results that suggest a non-invasive breath test for liver disease using an IONICON PTR-MS. Elevated levels of limonene in patients have been found to be indicative of a diseased liver. Especially in the UK liver disease has risen sharply over the past few decades and is the third biggest cause of premature mortality. Patients do not ...
The challenge was held by the National Institutes of Health, the Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology (ONC) of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). New technology that creates a personal, portable, and wearable air pollution sensor, developed under the My Air, My Health Challenge, was announced today ...
