Aphasia is a language disorder caused by some form of brain damage, including stroke Researchers from the Neurotherapeutics Group at University College London’s Queen Square Institute of Neurology have developed a new digital app that significantly improves speech in stroke patients. Supported by Wellcome and funded by the National Institute for Health and Care Research (NIHR), the iTalkBetter app provides speech therapy for people living with aphasia, a language disorder. Caused by some form of brain damage, including stroke, severe head injury and brain tumours, aphasia can lead to difficulties with speech or language. The NHS currently provides around 12 hours of speech and language therapy, with further face-to-face therapy available via some charities or privately. However, most aphasia patients are undertreated with therapy. The new app offers practice for over 200 commonly used words, games to maintain engagement and an integrated speech recogniser to analyse speech in real time ...

Autoimmune diseases are a group of diseases caused by the body’s immune system attacking its own organs or tissues. It is estimated that approximately 7.6%-9.4% of the global population suffers from various types of autoimmune diseases. Currently, autoimmune diseases are difficult to cure, and once it occurs, most patients need long-term to lifelong medication. Some autoimmune diseases are particularly dangerous and severely affect the quality of life of patients, posing a threat to their lives and ...

According to the CDE official website, AstraZeneca’s Class 1 therapeutic biological product AZD0486 has obtained implicit approval for clinical trials and is intended to be used to treat relapsed or refractory B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia. AZD0486 (TNB-486) is a new, fully human CD19xCD3 IgG4 bispecific antibody, originally developed by TeneoTwo. In 2022, AstraZeneca acquired TeneoTwo for US$1.265 billion and also obtained its clinical-stage drug TNB-486. According to public information, AZD0486 can bind to CD19 on the surface of B lymphocytes and CD3 receptors on the surface of T lymphocytes, thereby initiating the immune response of T lymphocytes. A Phase I clinical study (NCT04594642) published in the journal “OncLive” in August 2023 showed that AZD0486 has a durable tumor inhibitory effect on relapsed/refractory follicular lymphoma, regardless of the expression level of CD20, and it is also independent of the type and dosage of existing drugs. Currently, AZD0486 has entered the Phase ...

It is important for doctors to rapidly and accurately identify prevalent respiratory pathogens like COVID-19, influenza A and B, RSV-A, and RSV-B for administering prompt, tailored treatment to infected individuals. In a significant advancement, a near-patient test system using automation technology detects pathogens with unrivaled speed and cuts the typical waiting time of 24 to 48 hours to just one to two hours without the need for expensive biosafe laboratories. Fast MDx Limited (Middlesex, UK) and Festo (London, UK) have jointly designed and developed the world’s first, low-cost, high-throughput, near-patient molecular diagnostic test system that will provide clinicians with earlier, more informed results, allowing each patient to receive a faster, personalized clinical pathway. The Fast MDx system comprises everything necessary for testing, including sample tubes, swabs, and even electronic result transmission to the originating hospital, clinic, or doctor’s office. The system incorporates Fast MDx’s latest, ultra-fast, NGx2 4-Channel qPCR thermal ...
Davy James The FDA granted Allecra with a five-year marketing exclusivity extension for Exblifep (cefepime/enmetazobactam) through the Generating Antibiotic Incentives Now Act. The FDA has approved Allecra Therapeutics’ Exblifep (cefepime/enmetazobactam) for the treatment of complicated urinary tract infections (cUTIs), including the kidney infection pyelonephritis, in patients aged 18 years and older.1 The FDA also granted Allecra with a five-year marketing exclusivity extension for the β-lactam/β-lactamase inhibitor combination through the Generating Antibiotic Incentives Now Act (GAIN Act), which is legislation that incentivizes the development of new anti-infective treatments. “Receiving FDA approval is a tremendous achievement for Allecra and a testament to the hard work and dedication of a small, yet highly focused team of individuals. I extend my sincere congratulations to my colleagues Omar Lahlou and Patrick Velicitat for their leadership and oversight throughout this whole process,” Iain Buchanan, supervisory board member of Allecra Therapeutics, said in a press release. “As ...
Fentanyl, an opioid 50 times more potent than heroin, presents a major risk to public health. In recent years, there’s been a growing concern over the rise in fentanyl use among drug users. Annually, this potent drug is responsible for thousands of overdose deaths globally. In response to this crisis, a breakthrough in drug testing has been achieved. Now, researchers have developed a new blood testing method capable of detecting powerful opioids, including fentanyl, more rapidly than traditional methods, thereby offering a potential lifeline in overdose situations. This innovative method developed by a team at the University of Waterloo (Ontario, Canada) can simultaneously analyze up to 96 blood samples for the presence of opioids like fentanyl in less than three minutes, a rate that’s double the speed of existing methods. To conduct the test, a small volume of blood is placed into each well of a 96-well plate, which also ...
The World Health Organization (WHO) today announced the recommendations for the viral composition of influenza vaccines for the 2024-2025 influenza season in the northern hemisphere. The announcement was made at an information session after a 4-day meeting on the Composition of Influenza Virus Vaccines. The meeting is held twice annually, once for the southern and once for the northern hemisphere. WHO organizes these consultations with an advisory group of experts gathered from WHO Collaborating Centres and WHO Essential Regulatory Laboratories to analyse influenza virus surveillance data generated by the WHO Global Influenza Surveillance and Response System (GISRS). The recommendations issued are used by the national vaccine regulatory agencies and pharmaceutical companies to develop, produce, and license influenza vaccines for the following influenza season. The periodic update of viruses contained in influenza vaccines is necessary for the vaccines to be effective due to the constant evolving nature of influenza viruses, including ...
