Researchers at the University of Waterloo have introduced a fast, lifesaving blood test that detects opioids like fentanyl in less than three minutes, a critical advancement in combating the opioid crisis. The testing method has the capability to examine blood samples in half the time compared to ...
Starting with a blood or serum sample from a patient, the test is very similar to a standard ELISA (enzyme-linkedimmunosorbent assay), that is used to scan blood for viruses, infections and even some kinds of cancer. The kit includes an ELISA plate pre-coated with the ACE2 cell receptor ...
Most people get mild COVID infections that last a few weeks. But sometimes the infection can last longer, get serious, or even life-threatening. Staying up to date with vaccines can help prevent serious infection. You can also protect yourself and others by taking extra precautions, such as ...
Therefore, a full understanding of the vaccine-mediated antibody response to SARS-CoV-2 and circulating variants is needed for a better evaluation of SARS-CoV-2 vaccine effectiveness. Inactivated COVID-19 vaccines, which are based on a traditional platform, show high safety and effectiveness and ...
As a result, the water beads and slides away, carrying particles of dirt with it. Biomimetic solution: Developers have applied this lotus effect to paint. When the paint dries, tiny bumps remain on the surface that help water droplets remove dirt. Example of Biomimicry — Preserving Vaccines ...
You can set your organization's mission as something concrete and tangible: increasing uptake of COVID-19 vaccines, for example. Begin by recruiting a team of individuals who can help you champion this cause and work with them to define clear objective...
What that allows us to do is accelerate the pace of development of vaccines and cancer drugs. We're partnered withRedwire, who's done bits and pieces of this on ISS and demonstrated it. So, we're going to do all of that work on a greater scale. ...
A biliary stent is a plastic or metal tube inserted into a bile duct. Biliary stenting is a procedure that opens the obstructed bile duct. Obstructed bile duct leads to the accumulation of bile in the liver resulting in yellowing of the skin (jaundice),
A test based on the Actiphage technology to detect M. tuberculosis DNA in the blood is described [20] as useful for TB diagnosis and identifying those with TB infection that may progress to TB disease [21,22]. An alternative and potentially complementary approach for the detection of progress...
Whysall says that therapeutic approaches using RNA, a strategy pioneered through the ground-breaking mRNA covid vaccines, could also potentially be used to train the immune system to attack senescent cells, particularly in muscle tissue. “The more precise the medicine, the less chance of side eff...
