Image: Sysmex and Siemens have established global agreement to supply hemostasis instruments and reagents as OEMs (Photo courtesy of Sysmex) Sysmex Corporation (Kobe, Japan) and Siemens Healthcare Diagnostics Inc. (Siemens Healthineers, Erlangen, Germany) have signed a global OEM agreement on hemostasis products under which each company will supply the other with their products in the diagnostic field of hemostasis on an OEM basis. Both Siemens and Sysmex provide hemostasis products used in testing for blood clotting disorders, preoperative bleeding risk management, and the monitoring of patients receiving anticoagulant therapy medications. Following their global agreement on distribution, sales, and services for hemostasis products signed in 1995, the two companies have since then developed a strong partnership and gone on to become one of the leading solution providers in the global hemostasis space. Over this period, the companies have further expanded their capabilities and gained strength by introducing new innovations in ...

If small biotech does more to plan ahead for ex-US market requirements, companies and their investors – and crucially patients – will benefit.
Medtech’s resilience and flexibility have been clear to see during the COVID-19 pandemic. In this forward-looking view for 2022, CEOs from some of the Top 50 global medtechs share their perspectives on the present and the future, from company and health care system standpoints.
Researchers from the RIKEN Center for Advanced Intelligence Project (AIP) and colleagues have tested AI-enhanced diagnosis of fetal congenital heart disease in a clinical setting. Both hospital residents and fellows made more accurate diagnoses when they used a graphical interface that represented the AI's analysis of fetal cardiac ultrasound screening videos. The new system could help train doctors as well as assist in diagnoses when specialists are unavailable. The report recently appeared in the scientific journal Biomedicines.
As viruses are exposed to environmental selection pressures, they mutate and evolve, generating variants that may possess enhanced virulence. Some of the primary concerns that public health officials have as these new variants continue to emerge include their viral transmissibility, reinfection rates, disease severity, and vaccine effectiveness. SARS-CoV-2. Image Credit: ImageFlow/Shutterstock.com How do RNA viruses mutate? The mutation rate of single-stranded ribonucleic acid (ssRNA) viruses is observed to be much higher than organisms that possess single-stranded deoxyribonucleic acid (ssDNA), and many times more than those with double-stranded DNA (dsDNA). Not all mutations necessarily increase virulence and, in the majority of cases, may in fact be deleterious or inconsequential. Therefore, organisms must find an equilibrium between a high mutation rate that allows them to adapt to changing environmental conditions, and a low one that lessens the incidence of catastrophic mutations. Small DNA viruses may encode their own DNA repair, and ...
A lot of emphases is placed on medical devices and equipment necessary for ensuring the well-being of patients, and rightly so. There are however medical products that are often overlooked, but essential to every medical institution.

A baby incubator is the most vital devices in every pediatric and obstetrics hospital as it provides a warm and safe environment for newborns and specifically for premature or sick babies who require special care.
A new test based on gene targeting technology CRISPR could diagnose Covid-19 infections in 45 minutes. It was recently outlined in a paper in the journal Nature Biotechnology.
Henan Provincial People’s Hospital Zheng Peiming, Gao Huijie, Li Junmeng, et al. select macrophages and their exosomes to co-culture with gastric cancer cells (not set as a control group) to detect the expression of miR-223 and observe its influence on the metastatic ability of gastric cancer cells. Fluorescence microscope was used to observe whether macrophages delivered miR-223 to gastric cancer cells through exosomes. Macrophages were transfected with miR-223 antagonist, exosomes were isolated and co-cultured with gastric cancer cells, transwell and scratch experiments were performed to observe their effects on gastric cancer cell metastasis, reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR), Western blot detection on expression of protein tyrosine phosphatase (PTEN) and of transfer-related proteins. The results showed that after macrophages and their exosomes were co-cultured with gastric cancer cells, the metastasis and invasion ability of gastric cancer cells was enhanced [253.2±6.3 (control group), 451.8±12.8, 453.4±14.4, all P<0.01 compared with control group ...
