Researchers at F. Hoffmann-La Roche Ltd. and Hoffmann-La Roche Inc. have synthesized radiolabeled compounds acting as GABA(A) receptor subunit α2β2γ1 (GABRA2) positive allosteric modulators acting as positron-emission tomography (PET) and autoradiography imaging agents reported to be useful for the diagnosis of neurological disorders.
Researchers at the University of California, Davis (UC Davis) have developed a method of biofluid assessment capable of real-time monitoring as well as compatible with machine learning and neural network processing.
Brainspec Inc. received U.S. FDA 510(k) clearance for use of its artificial intelligence platform, Brainspec Core, in noninvasive measurement of brain chemistry using magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS).
Inflammatix Inc. received U.S. FDA breakthrough device designation for its Triverity acute infection and sepsis test system, which produces three readouts that could help emergency physicians quickly determine the proper course of treatment.
The Cari-Heart, a medical imaging technology which detects signs of inflammation around coronary arteries, can predict the risk of a cardiac event, independent from clinical risk scores and the interpretation of coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA), according to data from a study presented at the recent American Heart Association Scientific Sessions.
South Korean researchers from the Gwangju Institute of Science and Technology (GIST) developed a new fluorescence-based lateral-flow immunoassay (LFI) enhanced with gold nanorod (GNR)-based probes to detect viral infections like the influenza A virus.
The time to diagnosis of sepsis infection to a patient in the hospital can be critical, with underdiagnosis resulting in rapid deterioration, risk of organ damage and need for readmission, and overdiagnosis leading to the avoidable and sometimes serious health consequences of overtreating patients with broad-spectrum antibiotics.
Siemens Healthineers AG appears to be committed to its Diagnostics business after Jochen Schmitz, CFO, pushed back at rumors speculating that the German company was looking at options for the underperforming segment, including a sale.
The U.S. FDA granted Roche Holding AG breakthrough device designation for its Elecsys Neurofilament Light Chain test for multiple sclerosis. The Elecsys NfL test can aid in the detection of disease activity in adults, 18-55 years old, with relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis or secondary progressive multiple sclerosis. It also provides critical information for managing the disease.
Royal Philips NV received a second round of funding from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation to speed adoption of artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms on the Lumify hand-held ultrasound device, bringing its total commitment to the project designed to reduce maternal mortality to $60 million.
