PrecisionLife Licenses OXEGENE Dataset to Develop Personalized Treatments for Endometriosis

PrecisionLife, a leading techbio company driving precision medicine in complex chronic diseases, announced today a data access agreement with the University of Oxford to license the Oxford Endometriosis Gene (OXEGENE) dataset with the aim to develop new personalized treatments for endometriosis patients. Endometriosis is a chronic disease associated with severe pain and infertility. It affects 10% of women globally, but how and why it develops is unknown. On average it takes over 7 years for patients to receive a diagnosis and there are currently no approved diagnostic biomarkers or cures for the disease. The OXEGENE dataset contains anonymized genotype data including disease stage and infertility status, from 1,000 surgically confirmed patients. PrecisionLife’s combinatorial analytics platform is unique in its ability to analyze patient data to better understand the causes of complex chronic disease and achieve mechanistic patient stratification to enable precision medicine where it has not previously been ...

Previously Unidentified Proteins Suggest New Way to Diagnose Ovarian Cancer

A study led by Nagoya University in Japan has identified three previously unknown membrane proteins in ovarian cancer. Using a unique technology consisting of nanowires with a polyketone coating, the group succeeded in capturing the proteins, demonstrating a new detection method for identification of ovarian cancer. The study is published in the journal Science Advances. The discovery of new biomarkers is important for detecting ovarian cancer, as the disease is difficult to detect in its early stages where it can most easily be treated. One approach to detecting cancer is to look for extracellular vesicles (EVs), especially small proteins released from the tumor called exosomes. As these proteins are found outside the cancer cell, they can be isolated from body fluids, such as blood, urine, and saliva. However, the use of these biomarkers is hindered by the lack of reliable ones for the detection of ovarian cancer. A research group led by ...

BrainTale Has Presented at the European Academy of Neurology and the World Parkinson Congress the Interest of Its Digital Biomarker Platform for the Early and Differential Diagnosis of Parkinson’s Disease

STRASBOURG, France–(BUSINESS WIRE)– BrainTale, a medtech deciphering white matter to enable better brain care, spin-off of the Paris Region Greater Hospitals, presented preliminary results during the European Academy of Neurology (Budapest, July 1 – 4, 2023) and the World Parkinson congress (Barcelona, July 4 – 7, 2023) demonstrating the interest of its digital biomarker platform for the early and differential diagnosis of Parkinson’s disease. Vincent Perlbarg, co-founder, scientific director and president of BrainTale, has presented the results supporting the interest of BrainTale’s digital biomarker platform for the care of patients suffering from the disease and the development of new therapies. Long underestimated in neuroscience, white matter, which represents 60% to 80% of the human brain, plays a key role in its proper functioning, development, and aging, whether normal or pathological. Accordingly, since its creation in 2018, BrainTale has been developing non-invasive, accessible, effective and clinically validated measurement and prediction tools ...

New AI system could revolutionize the diagnosis of valvular heart disease

AI (artificial intelligence) may sound like a cold robotic system, but Osaka Metropolitan University scientists have shown that it can deliver heartwarming-;or, more to the point, “heart-warning”-;support. They unveiled an innovative use of AI that classifies cardiac functions and pinpoints valvular heart disease with unprecedented accuracy, demonstrating continued progress in merging the fields of medicine and technology to advance patient care. The results will be published in The Lancet Digital Health. Valvular heart disease, one cause of heart failure, is often diagnosed using echocardiography. This technique, however, requires specialized skills, so there is a corresponding shortage of qualified technicians. Meanwhile, chest radiography is one of the most common tests to identify diseases, primarily of the lungs. Even though the heart is also visible in chest radiographs, little was known heretofore about the ability of chest radiographs to detect cardiac function or disease. Chest radiographs, or chest X-Rays, are performed in ...

New biomarker confirmed for early diagnosis of multiple sclerosis

A study conducted by researchers from the Department of Neurology at MedUni Vienna and University Hospital Vienna has demonstrated for the first time that the diagnosis of multiple sclerosis (MS) can be significantly improved by additionally measuring the thickness of retinal layers in the eye. Use of the procedure, which is already available at the Departments of MedUni Vienna and University Hospital Vienna, helps to detect the condition at an earlier stage and predict its progression more accurately. This can lead to a decisive increase in the chance of improved patient outcomes. The findings have been published in the journal Neurology. As part of their investigation, the research team headed by Gabriel Bsteh and Thomas Berger of the Department of Neurology at MedUni Vienna and University Hospital Vienna collaborated with colleagues from MedUni Vienna and University Hospital Vienna’s Department of Ophthalmology and Optometrics to examine 267 MS patients over a ...

Gates Foundation and Wellcome to fund late-stage trial of tuberculosis vaccine candidate

The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation and Wellcome have joined forces to fund the late-stage development of what could be the first tuberculosis (TB) vaccine in over a century. TB is a bacterial infection spread by inhaling tiny droplets from the coughs or sneezes of an infected person. Despite being both curable and preventable, the disease continues to affect around ten million people every year, and 1.6 million people died from it in 2021, almost entirely in low and middle-income countries. The only TB vaccine in use today, bacille Calmette-Guérin (BCG), was first used in 1921. It helps protect babies and young children against severe systemic forms of TB, but offers limited protection against pulmonary TB – a form of active TB – among adolescents and adults. The Gates Foundation and Wellcome will invest around $550m to support the phase 3 trial of the M72/AS01E (M72) vaccine, which will be ...

Using deep learning algorithm for automated detection of occlusal caries

A diagnostic study on the detection of occlusal caries from a clinical photograph using a deep learning algorithm will be presented at the 101st General Session of the IADR, which will be held in conjunction with the 9th Meeting of the Latin American Region and the 12th World Congress on Preventive Dentistry on June 21-24, 2023, in Bogotá, Colombia. The Interactive Talk presentation, “Automated Detection of Occlusal Caries Using Deep Learning Algorithm,” will take place on Saturday, June 24 at 4:25 p.m. Colombia Time (UTC-05:00) during the “Prevalence of Health Conditions and Risk Factors” session. The study by Chukwuebuka Elozona Ogwo of Temple University, Philadelphia, PA, USA sought to determine the accuracy, precision, and sensitivity of the YOLOv7 object detection algorithm in occlusal caries detection from clinical photographs and (2) develop software for occlusal caries detection. Only consenting adults (>=18 years old) with permanent dentition receiving care at the Temple ...
