Portable Device Analyzes White Blood Cell Activity to Monitor Cancer Patients’ Health

Chemotherapy and similar treatments aimed at eliminating cancer cells often adversely affect patients’ immune cells. Each year, this results in tens of thousands of cancer patients suffering from weakened immune systems, making them susceptible to potentially fatal infections. Physicians are tasked with balancing the dosage of chemotherapy—enough to kill cancer cells but not so much as to dangerously reduce the patient’s white blood cell count, leading to neutropenia. This condition not only impacts health but can also lead to social isolation between chemotherapy sessions. Traditionally, monitoring of white blood cells has been limited to blood tests. Now, a new at-home white blood cell monitor offers doctors the ability to remotely monitor their patients’ health more comprehensively. This device, which avoids blood draws, uses light to scan the skin at the top of the fingernail and employs artificial intelligence (AI) to identify critically low levels of white blood cells. Based on ...

【EXPERT Q&A】What is the application and reliability of flexible circuit boards in medical devices?

Drugdu.com expert’s response: Flexible circuit boards (FPC) are widely used in medical devices, especially in scenarios that require high precision, high reliability, and high stability. Due to their strong flexibility and adaptability, FPC can be designed and manufactured according to the shape and size of the product, making them ideal for applications such as electrocardiographs, medical probes, and medical imaging devices. In addition, FPC also has characteristics such as vibration resistance, impact resistance, and anti-aging, further improving its reliability in medical devices.

Barinthus Bio slashes headcount by 25% and refocuses pipeline

Much like the mythological navigator from which it takes its name, Barinthus Biotherapeutics is steering a new course of pipeline prioritisation and restructuring by shelving its prostate cancer candidate and a major workforce reduction. The UK-based T cell specialist – formerly known as Vaccitech – said it will prioritise its pipeline to focus on two of its immunotherapy candidates, VTP-300 and VTP-1000, in chronic hepatitis B and coeliac disease indications respectively. Shares in the Nasdaq-listed Barinthus opened 4.7% lower when the market opened on 13 June following the company announcement on 12 June. Barinthus’ market cap is $73m. As part of the pipeline shuffle, the biopharma said that it expects to undergo a restructuring which will include reducing its employee number by around a quarter. The company currently has a headcount of around 130 employees, according to GlobalData. Barinthus also plans to extend its cash runway into Q2 of 2026, ...

【EXPERT Q&A】The requirement of an EU Representative for CE certification brings several benefits and impacts?

Drugdu.com expert’s response: The benefits and impacts of requiring an EU Representative for CE certification can be summarized as follows: Benefits : 1.Communication Bridge: An EU Representative serves as an intermediary between manufacturers and EU authorities, effectively communicating and handling technical, regulatory, and after-sales issues related to products. This bridging role significantly simplifies the communication process between manufacturers and EU authorities, improving the efficiency of problem-solving. 2.Compliance Assurance: Through an EU Representative, manufacturers can ensure their products meet EU regulatory requirements, mitigating the risk of compliance violations due to unfamiliarity with local regulations. The EU Representative’s familiarity and understanding of EU regulations can provide manufacturers with guidance and support in terms of compliance. 3.Clear Responsibility: In the event of product issues, EU authorities can directly contact the EU Representative to take prompt action, such as product recalls. This clear responsibility approach enhances the efficiency of problem resolution, reducing delays ...

First-Line PSA Testing More Cost-Effective Than First-Line MRI for Prostate Cancer Screening

Current prostate cancer (PCa) screening protocols typically begin with prostate-specific antigen (PSA) testing, which, if elevated, may lead to further assessment using multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging (mpMRI). Now, a cost-effectiveness analysis has revealed that using biparametric magnetic resonance imaging (bpMRI) as an initial screening tool is less cost-effective than the traditional approach of first-line PSA testing followed by mpMRI. This conclusion held true even when assuming no cost for bpMRI, indicating that the financial savings do not compensate for the drawbacks of using the first-line MRI approach. A team of researchers from Fred Hutchinson Cancer Center (Seattle, WA, USA), in collaboration with other institutions, developed a microsimulation model to compare the effectiveness and cost-efficiency of first-line bpMRI versus first-line PSA with reflex mpMRI for prostate cancer screening. The study showed that initiating screening with MRI significantly increased the incidence of false positives, unnecessary prostate biopsies, and overdiagnoses, without a corresponding ...
