‘Smart Patch’ Detects Alzheimer's Using Microneedle Technology

A new ‘smart patch’ can detect proinflammatory biomarkers of neurodegenerative diseases such as Parkinson's and Alzheimer's by using microneedle technology. The breakthrough in the advancement of transdermal capability could pave the way for the use of ‘smart patches’ to detect certain biomarkers within skin interstitial fluid (ISF) in a “bloodless” manner.

Infrared Signature For Mobile Phone Detects Malaria

Optical microscopy, rapid diagnostic tests (RDTs) and molecular tests are the three main diagnostic techniques currently available for malaria diagnosis. Microscopy is the traditional way of detecting malaria parasites in stained thick or thin peripheral blood films using Giemsa, Wrights or Fields stains. More...

Electronic Nose Accurately Diagnoses Prostate Tumor Using Urine Sample

The diagnosis of prostate cancer using a non-invasive method and with greater accuracy than traditional diagnostic procedures is ever closer to becoming a reality. This has been confirmed by the data in a study which tested the efficacy of the first prototype of an electronic nose that can identify the presence of a tumor from a urine sample, by recognizing specific volatile molecules.

Novel Digital Morphology Analyzer Performance Evaluated

Microscopic examination of peripheral blood smear (PBS) is essential in clinical hematology laboratories. Manual counting is, however, inefficient because the process is technically demanding and labor-intensive resulting in long turnaround time (TAT), and the results may be subjective with inter-observer variation.
