Branelie Health Inc. seeks patent protection for a computer-implemented method and system for predicting appropriateness of treatment options for the management of traumatic brain injuries, particularly concussions.
Researchers from Hebei Medical University and affiliated organizations have discovered new folate receptor (FR)-targeted fluorescent probes for tumor detection.
Biotelemetry Inc. and its subsidiary, Lifewatch Services Inc., agreed to pay $14.7 million to settle a whistleblower case alleging overbilling for remote cardiac monitoring. The qui tam case contended that the company’s online portal for its ACT-3L/MCT-3L device and its staff consistently and intentionally forced physicians’ staff to select or themselves selected the most expensive application for the device, despite intent and even written instructions to choose a less expensive service.
After years of battling to retain its hold on Grail Inc., Illumina Inc. finally announced that it will be unwinding the ill-fated acquisition of the multi-cancer early detection test maker. In addition to stiff opposition from activist investor Carl Icahn that cost Illumina’s previous CEO and board chair their positions, European and U.S. regulators have consistently opposed the deal.
Respiratory imaging technology company 4Dmedical Ltd. is acquiring Imbio LLC for $45 million to create a comprehensive portfolio of cardiothoracic imaging technologies. The news comes on the heels of U.S. FDA clearance of 4Dmedical’s computed tomography lung ventilation analysis software in November 2023.
Researchers at Albert-Ludwigs-Universität Freiburg and Deutsches Krebsforschungszentrum (DKFZ) have disclosed drug conjugates comprising fluorescent-labeled dye covalently linked to a radionuclide and a ligand targeting glutamate carboxypeptidase II (NAALADase; NAAG peptidase, FOLH1; PSMA) acting as positron-emission tomography (PET) and fluorescent imaging agents for diagnosis and treatment of prostate cancer.
Fibroblast activation protein (FAP) is a serine protease that is highly overexpressed in the stroma of most epithelial-derived tumors – including pancreatic, breast and colorectal cancers – in the context of cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs).
With an urgent need to create new technologies to improve the detection of traumatic brain injuries (TBI), researchers from the University of Birmingham, U.K., have designed and developed a diagnostic device that can detect TBI by shining a laser into the eye.
Backbeat Medical Inc. is seeking patent protection for methods and systems for controlling blood pressure to either treat hypertension by using a first electrical stimulation pattern that reduces both systolic blood pressure and diastolic blood pressure.
Angle plc’s Parsortix system, which captures and harvest circulating tumor cells (CTCs) for liquid biopsy analysis, has been used in breakthrough work by researchers at the University of New Mexico looking into the role of CTC gene expression in the progression of melanoma brain metastasis. The researchers used the Parsortix system to harvest CTCs for analysis and concluded that “… gene expression in CTCs could be pivotal to prescribing more targeted treatment based on the needs of the patient.”
