– The MINISTONE-2 study showed XOFLUZA, given as a new oral suspension, is a well-tolerated and effective potential treatment for the flu in otherwise healthy children aged one to less than 12 years – – Approximately one in three children develop the flu every year and they are often contagious longer than adults – treating children may therefore help reduce symptoms and prevent the spread of the flu to the wider community – SOUTH SAN FRANCISCO, Calif.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Jul. 3, 2019– Genentech, a member of the Roche Group (SIX: RO, ROG; OTCQX: RHHBY), today announced that the Phase III MINISTONE-2 study met its primary endpoint, demonstrating that XOFLUZA™ (baloxavir marboxil) was well-tolerated in children with the flu. The study also showed that XOFLUZA is comparable to oseltamivir – a proven effective treatment for children with the flu – at reducing the duration of flu symptoms, including fever. The study assessed XOFLUZA versus ...
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 ...

The plan is to create new “interventions" using "field of injury" technology to catch molecular changes in the lining of the respiratory tract, which can indicate cancer or cancer-related changes in the lung.
Infections are getting increased day by day in number. Scientists are having a tough time in finding the quickest cost-effective way to detect the pathogen. A research team from UC Santa Barbara published an article named ‘Smartphone-based pathogen diagnosis in urinary sepsis patients’ in EbioMedicine journal. A rapid diagnosis of the most commonly prevalent urinary tract infection is possible using smartphone app and mobile camera, where the chemical reaction is measured followed by diagnosis within an hour. Hence, faster and cost-effective recovery is very much possible. Professor Michael Mahan, the lead author of the study, said “This simple test for urinary tract infections can be conducted in a fraction of the time and cost of clinical diagnostics — one hour versus 18 to 28 hours. We believe that this lab test holds the exciting potential to bring state-of-the-art diagnostics within easy reach of non-expert users.” This rapid test can detect ...
Scientists at Purdue University have devised a simulator that can give an idea about the effect of strong magnetic fields of the power of about 7 Tesla, on human breast tissue of varying densities. The regular MRI machines in hospitals generate magnetic fields of about 3 Tesla as high resonance magnetic fields could lead to excessive heating and permanent hampering of tissues. However, the exact effect of such high power has been a mystery. The study was published in the journal, Magnetic Resonance in Medicine. 20 varying breast tissues were simulated and the quantity of heat produced in the scanned tissue was assessed. The heat increased with the density of the tissue, as a greater amount of electromagnetic waves were absorbed by the tissue. This research could enhance the diagnostic ability of MRI machines which could then be used in the majority of the hospitals. It would not lead ...
The main function of the medical imaging equipment such as CT scanner is literally by adopting the radiographic techniques. The organs inside our bodies are covered by flesh and skin, which means we can’t inspect them directly through our eyes. In this kind of circumstance, the physician could use the medical imaging equipment to acquire the inside information without an invasive action. CT scanner as one of the most common medical imaging equipment, which could produce thin cross-sectional views of the human body. In the meanwhile, the CT scanner also could reconstruct the tomographic plane of the patient by using a number of imaged slices. The images given by the CT scanner are usually used for diagnostic purposes or any anatomic region if necessary. If you decided to make a CT scanner purchasing, tips below should be noticed. Affirming the specific type of CT scanner which could match your requirement, ...
