SPONSORED BY: T2 Biosystems, Inc. CONTINUING EDUCATION (CME/CE/CEU) CREDITS: P.A.C.E. CE | Florida CE Sepsis is one of the top challenges facing hospitals in terms of clinical outcomes and cost. One of the major hurdles to effective sepsis management is the limitations of conventional diagnostics, which are blood-culture based and take 1 to 5 or more days to identify […]
Join Dr. Sonia Qasba for a live interactive webinar event! On June 1st, the American Academy of Pediatrics released the new Red Book® 2018 edition, which expands established AAP recommendations for TB blood testing in children. The AAP now preferentially recommends the use of TB blood tests (IGRAs) in BCG-vaccinated children aged 2 years and […]
Measurement of these metabolites represents the digital readout of health. A key aspect of metabolomics is the utilization of high resolution mass spectrometric approaches to detect and identify metabolites from biological fluids and tissues. The use of multi-analyte analyses as well as high resolution mass spectrometric approaches has the potential to transform clinical diagnostics for […]
Three-dimensional (3D) cell aggregates are of great interest for many applications, including disease modeling, drug toxicity assessment, and manufacture of stem cell-based products. Stirred-tank bioreactors are promising culture systems for 3D cell aggregates, as they allow efficient establishment and maintenance of cell aggregates, process monitoring and control, and process scale-up to larger volumes. Furthermore, they […]
In our daily lives we are exposed to thousands of commercially used chemicals. Many of these chemicals are not toxic at typical exposure levels, but for thousands of chemicals, toxicological information is lacking. The National Academy of Sciences report on ‘‘Toxicity testing in the 21st century’’ highlighted the need for efficient methods to screen chemicals […]
Want to learn about implementing artificial intelligence and machine learning in clinical and community settings? Join the NIH for a Facebook Live to hear from experts! Artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) are rapidly advancing technologies in use across industries, including biomedical research and healthcare delivery. To explore the opportunities for AI and ML […]
MicroRNAs (miRNAs), small non-coding RNAs that regulate gene expression, hold incredible promise as minimally invasive biomarkers for use in the diagnosis and prognosis of a wide range of diseases and biological processes. miRNAs are transported in body fluids within exosomes, thus making them ideal biomarkers due to their stability and the ease with which they […]
Overview There has always been pressure on the Histology Lab to do more with less money, less people and less time. Automation in Histology has somewhat stalled over the past few years and is difficult to implement. Automation is only a multidisciplinary process to integrate manufactured machinery and software to perform manual tasks that will […]
Fragile X syndrome is the most prevalent genetic form of intellectual disability with an incidence of one in 4,000. Patients with Fragile X syndrome display a broad spectrum of autistic phenotypes that range from mild to severe intellectual, social, and reasoning deficits. This disorder stems from the loss of the Fragile X mental retardation protein, […]
