Using AI to detect parasites in stool samples
The researchers trained and tested an AI application on roughly 1,300 stool samples from children in Kenya.
BMF receives FDA 510(k) clearance for UltraThineer cosmetic veneer material
Zirconia materials are now qualified for use in the production of the world’s thinnest cosmetic veneers.
Silicone pressure-sensitive adhesive tapes: Engineering marvels shaping modern industry
Consider the multifaceted significance of silicone pressure-sensitive tapes and explore their myriad applications and the pivotal roles they play across diverse industries.
New AI device detects heart failure through foot volume
The telemonitoring solution uses an infrared time-of-flight 3D camera to automatically scan the discharged patient’s bare feet for signs of peripheral edema.
New plasma irradiation technique expedites bone healing
A team of researchers from Japan’s Osaka Metropolitan University is using a plasma irradiation treatment to expedite bone healing.
How to bring structured illumination to a standard microscope
Convert a conventional optical microscope into a high-resolution structured illumination microscopy instrument by following these open-source guidelines.
Study: Far-UVC light eliminates airborne virus in an occupied room
Unlike conventional germicidal UVC light — which kills viruses and bacteria but can only typically be used in unoccupied rooms because direct exposure to it can potentially harm skin and eyes — far-UVC light can be used in occupied spaces.
New device promises to detect, monitor blood loss
The team is developing a mobile device capable of detecting blood pressure waveforms, which correspond with the volume within the blood vessels, and can thus be used to determine if blood volume is falling as a result of hemorrhaging.
Pineapple-based oral vaccine promises to stave off UTIs
To stave off UTIs, the researchers suggest that patients spray the substance under their tongues daily for a period of three months.
Team replicates an adult human ear using tissue engineering, 3D printing
Designed to look and feel like the real thing, the researchers believe the development will pave the way for future grafts with well-defined anatomy and the correct biomechanical properties for those born with outer ear deformities or who lose an ear later in life.
PSG Biotech unveils its latest innovation: The Quattroflow QB2-SD Single-Use Micropump
The pump is single-use and can be easily clicked in and out of a motor drive, facilitating quick changeovers, particularly in environments where full personal protective equipment (PPE) is required.
Hydrogel lollipops promise to make mouth cancer detection "sweeter"
As patients suck on the lollipop, the hydrogel reportedly traps proteins in the saliva, which the researchers suggest function as biomarkers or indicators of potential cancer.
AI trained to identify COVID-19 in lung ultrasound images
The artificial intelligence (AI)-driven technology works like facial recognition software, identifying signs of COVID-19 and other pulmonary diseases in the ultrasound images of lungs.
New AI algorithm makes predictions about both life and death
Wherever there is training data, the researchers suggested, there is an opportunity for making predictions about human lives.
Radar tech to monitor the health status of a driver
With the goal of making health checks easier, the team is using a radar that is smaller than a USB thumb drive incorporated into the vehicle cabin.
AI tool promises to predict fatal heart rhythm
To develop technology capable of predicting a patient’s risk of developing this condition, the AI tool, dubbed VA-ResNet-50, examined Holter electrocardiograms (ECGs) of 270 patients.
A jewel of a wearable medical sensor
It may look like an ordinary piece of jewelry, but this ring is actually an internet of medical things (IoMT) device.
pH measurement in bioprocessing
Discover why pH is a critical process parameter when producing and harvesting biological material.
MSI Viking announces partnership with QC Training Services
The partnership will expand coverage of quality topics in metrology insights and training opportunities.
Allrounder 520 A: Innovative IML application for medical technology
The sustainable in-mold labeling (IML) application with high repetition accuracy and added value is ideal for the pharmaceutical and medical technology industries.
