‘Smart Necklace’ Biosensor Customized as Bioimplant Could Diagnose and Treat Brain Injury
A newly-developed battery-free, wireless biochemical sensor could one day be customized as bioimplants and used to detect neurotransmitters and hormones, which could help identify ion disorders in cerebrospinal fluid associated with secondary brain injury, or even lead to a new understanding of how the brain functions.

CT Imaging Alone Found Noninferior to CT/MR Combo for Acute Ischemic Stroke Patients
A new study has found that a diagnostic imaging strategy of initial CT alone was noninferior to initial CT with additional MRI with regard to the clinical outcomes of death or dependence at hospital discharge or prevention of stroke or death at one year after discharge. More...25 Jul 2022
Organ Biofabrication Breakthrough Could Pave Way for Artificial Bioengineered Hearts
Bioengineers have developed the first biohybrid model of human ventricles with helically aligned beating cardiac cells, and have shown that muscle alignment does, in fact, dramatically increases how much blood the ventricle can pump with each contraction. More...20 Jul 2022
New Generation Graphene-Based PCT/CRP IVD Test to Give Results Within Minutes
The first proof of concept graphene-based diagnostic test to immediately identify patients who need antibiotic treatment is currently under development and will be among a pipeline of affordable, portable, easy-to-use, graphene-based IVD products, which will at least match the performance of the most advanced hospital laboratory, but at the POC.

MRI Techniques Can Predict Future Sudden Cardiac Death
A new study has found that adults with abnormal heart metabolism are up to three times more likely to experience life-threatening arrhythmias (an irregular heart rhythm), and MRI techniques could be used to detect the condition and predict future sudden cardiac death. More...19 Jul 2022
