Redox Potential Used as a Feasible Marker for Banked Blood Quality

Stored red blood cells (RBCs) may undergo oxidative stress over time, with functional changes affecting oxygen delivery. Central to these changes are oxidation-reduction (redox) reactions and redox potential (RP) that must be maintained for cell function. More...

NanoVelcro Cell Technology Applied in Diagnosis of Pregnancy Complications

Placenta accreta spectrum (PAS) disorders, including placenta accreta, placenta increta, and placenta percreta, are the consequences of abnormal implantation, or aberrant invasion and adherence of placental trophoblasts into the uterine myometrium. More...

Novel Blood-Based Test Bolsters MRI-Based Prostate Cancer Screening

Prostate cancer does not usually cause any symptoms until the cancer has grown large enough to put pressure on the tube that carries urine from the bladder out of the penis (urethra). Symptoms of prostate cancer can include: needing to urinate more frequently, often during the night needing to rush to the toilet. More...

Manual Aspiration by Monovette Reduces Hemolytic Sampling

Hemolytic blood samples are the number one cause for specimen rejection at emergency departments (ED). Triggered by unsuitable blood sampling material or incorrect handling and a related strong vacuum force, hemolytic samples often must be retaken. More...

Smartphone-Based DNA Diagnostics Detects Malaria

 There remains a substantial burden from infectious disease in low-resource rural communities, not least as a consequence of malaria. In infectious disease diagnosis, results need to be communicated rapidly to healthcare professionals once testing has been completed so that care pathways can be implemented. More...

Novel AI-Driven Cardiac Blood Test Provides Highly Accurate Prediction of One-Year Risk for Heart Attack, Stroke, or Cardiac Death

A novel, artificial intelligence (AI)-driven blood test for cardiac risk can provide highly accurate prediction of one-year risk for heart attack, stroke, or cardiac death. More...

Fluorescent Reagents Evaluated for Vulvovaginal Candidiasis Diagnosis

Vulvovaginal candidiasis (VVC) is a common vaginitis in females, which is estimated to be the second most common cause of vaginitis after bacterial vaginosis. Vulvovaginal candidiasis affects around 70%–75% of all women during their childbearing age, and is considered to be an important public health problem. More...
