Is Parkinson’s disease, ‘world’s fastest growing brain disease,’ mostly preventable?

Researchers warn that a colorless chemical known as trichloroethylene (TCE) — which has been used to dry-clean clothes, degrease metals and decaffeinate coffee — may be linked to the dramatic increase in Parkinson’s disease (PD) cases. They recently published a series of seven cases in the Journal of Parkinson’s disease that illustrate TCE’s harmful health effects and the potential PD association. “TCE is associated with a 500% increased risk of Parkinson’s disease,” lead author Dr. Ray Dorsey, professor of neurology at the University of Rochester in New York and author of “Ending Parkinson’s Disease,” told Fox News Digital. The chemical reproduces the features of the neurological disease in laboratory animals. It impairs the function of the energy-producing parts of cells called mitochondria, which are known to be damaged in Parkinson’s disease, Dorsey added. Widespread applications of TCE TCE was first synthesized in the lab in ...

New NHS Medtech Funding Mandate welcomed by BIVDA

The UK trade association for in vitro diagnostics (IVD) companies BIVDA has welcomed the NHS Medtech Funding Mandate, a new policy aimed at accelerating the uptake of medical devices, diagnostics and digital products in the NHS. The new Mandate, which will come into effect from 1 April 2020, will aim to enable patients to access ‘pioneering’ IVD devices faster and with greater ease. For products to qualify under the Mandate, they must demonstrate that they are effective, deliver material savings to the NHS, are cost-saving in-year and are affordable to the NHS. The Mandate policy is set to be published annually in December, following a review and feedback improvement cycle. A list of technologies that meet the MedTech Funding Mandate criteria is expected to be published before the end of July. “The publication of the Mandate is an opportunity to celebrate the UK as a leader in technologies for health ...

How are Vaccines Stored?

Many vaccines have highly specific storage requirements that if not met can reduce their potency significantly, even rendering them completely ineffective. Vaccines must be stored correctly from the moment they are manufactured until they are ultimately administered, and this is the shared responsibility of the manufacturer, distributor, and healthcare provider. What are the most common storage conditions? The vast majority of vaccines should be stored at between 2-8⁰C in a refrigerator, with a preferred average of 5⁰C, though some should remain frozen in a range between -15 to -50⁰C. Additionally, many should be protected from light and are packaged appropriately, as UV-light can damage them. Many live-virus vaccines can tolerate freezing temperatures and rapidly deteriorate once defrosted, while inactivated vaccines more commonly require stable temperatures of 2-8⁰C and are damaged at temperature extremes. The commonly administered measles, mumps, rubella (MMR) vaccine can be stored either frozen or refrigerated, while the MMRV vaccine ...

Gaps remain in immunization logistics and real-time tracking of vaccine storage and demand

How prepared is the existing global cold chain, and especially refrigerated transport, to cope with the full temperature ranges required for the multiple COVID-19 vaccine candidates? A cold chain expert responds. “Overall, securing an end-to-end unbroken cold chain – from vaccine manufacturer to the site of injection, is an extremely hard thing to do. It requires constant monitoring and remedial action. “Why? The constituent parts of the cold chain are vastly distinct. They are separately operated but uniformly coordinated systems within an overall vaccine supply chain,” said Raja Rao, director, cold chain strategy and markets, B Medical Systems. Storage Vaccine distribution is complexity at its finest, he said. “It is almost always the case that the cold chain is relatively strongest between the site of manufacture and arrival at the port of entry, from Belgium to Nairobi, for example. This is because vaccines are air-shipped in modern, cold storage containers, ...

Proof-of-concept system uses smart speakers to catch signs of cardiac arrest

Author: Dave Muoio In an effort to tackle in-home cardiac arrest, University of Washington researchers have devised a novel contactless system that uses smartphones or voice-based personal assistants to identify telltale breathing patterns that accompany an attack. The proof-of-concept strategy, described in an NPJ Digital Medicine paper published this morning, involved a supervised machine learning model called a support-vector machine that was trained for use in the bedroom, a controlled environment in which the majority of in-home cardiac arrests occur. “Sometimes reported as ‘gasping’ breaths, agonal respirations may hold potential as an audible diagnostic biomarker, particularly in unwitnessed cardiac arrests that occur in a private residence, the location of [two-thirds] of all [out-of-hospital cardiac arrests],” the researchers wrote. “The widespread adoption of smartphones and smart speakers (projected to be in 75% of US households by 2020) presents a unique opportunity to identify this audible biomarker and connect unwitnessed ...
