Scientists have pioneered a new way to monitor sodium levels in the blood—without drawing a single drop. By combining terahertz radiation and optoacoustic detection, they created a non-invasive system ...

Background: Blood cultures are routinely used to investigate suspected sepsis in the emergency department despite several studies demonstrating their limited influence on patient management.

June 19 is Juneteenth and Sickle Cell awareness day. Experts say the disease impacts 100,000 people in the U.S., and 90% of those cases are in the African American community.

INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) — The future of testing your blood sugar as a diabetic could a small device. No more pricking your fingers, or wearing a monitor. All you’d have to do is breathe into it.

That said, future research exploring interface pressure may help clarify its role in BFR’s physiological mechanisms, safety profile, and device-specific nuances. Recently, we proposed a BFR reporting ...

The current method of detecting infection (illness caused by germs) in newborn babies is to obtain blood or other body fluids (or both) and culture (grow) the bacteria (germs) in a laboratory. However ...

Researchers from the Singapore-MIT Alliance for Research and Technology (SMART) and KK Women’s and Children’s Hospital (KKH) have developed a first-of-its-kind device that profiles a newborn’s immune ...

The NHS in England will be the first health system in the world to roll-out a ‘trojan horse’ targeted therapy for blood cancer patients which could halt the disease’s progression by nearly three times ...

The milli-spinner thrombectomy device uses spinning-induced forces to mechanically modify blood-clot microstructure, shrinking clot volume by up to 95% for rapid, safe removal. By densifying the ...

Here’s how it works. A new device is designed to detect specific proteins in menstrual blood in order to spot early signs of disease. (Image credit: Science Photo Library via Getty Images) ...

In this work, we demonstrate a multifunctional, portable, and disposable microfluidic device for blood typing and primary screening of blood diseases. Preloaded antibodies (anti-A, anti-B, and anti-D) ...
