The MAX30105 is an optical sensor capable of a great many things. It can sense particulate matter in the air, or pick up the blinking of an eye. Or, you …read more Continue reading This Air Particulate Sensor Can Also Check Your Pulse Rate
Healthcare professionals, pilots, truck drivers and shift workers have likely all experienced sleep deprivation, which negatively affects performance, safety, and quality of life. Researchers have developed a blood test that can accurately detect wheth… Continue reading Blood test detects sleep deprivation with 99.2% accuracy
A new technique, which involves melting bacterial DNA found in blood samples, could deliver diagnoses of potentially fatal infections faster than ever before. Results may be obtained in a few hours, instead of days.Continue ReadingCategory: Medical, Sc… Continue reading Bloodborne pathogens quickly ID’d by melting their DNA
It can be hard to motivate yourself to take preventative measures against heart attack, if you don’t know if you’re even at risk of having one. According to new research, however, a standard blood test can now provide that information.Continue ReadingC… Continue reading Standard blood testing may provide warning of impending heart attack
Australian scientists have created the world’s smallest moustache, tiny enough to be modeled by a single red blood cell. Measuring just 5 microns wide, the micro-mo was designed to raise awareness for men’s health.

People with high blood pressure may soon be able to swap the daily pills for an injection every few months. A phase 2 clinical trial has shown that a drug called Zilebesiran can drastically reduce blood pressure for long periods of time with no side ef… Continue reading New drug given every few months reduces high blood pressure in trial
Researchers have identified a blood protein that can be used as a marker of gastric and other cancers and is more accurate than existing diagnostic biomarkers, even in the early stages of the disease. The simple test may lead to the earlier diagnosis o… Continue reading Gastric cancer biomarker nearly 90% accurate, even in early stages
Researchers have developed a quick, cheap, and highly sensitive blood test to detect a telltale protein produced by cancer cells. The test can pick up a range of cancers before symptoms appear and could be key to early diagnosis of the disease.Continue… Continue reading New quick, cheap blood test may detect cancer before symptoms appear
Researchers have developed a quick and simple blood test that, combined with existing diagnostic tools, improved the diagnosis of bipolar disorder, a condition commonly misdiagnosed as major depressive disorder. The test could ensure that people with b… Continue reading Quick, simple blood test takes the guesswork out of bipolar diagnosis
Researchers have found that red blood cells have an innate ability to trigger a pathway that protects the heart from injury during periods of low oxygen, such as during a heart attack. The effect was stronger in people fed a diet high in nitrates, foun… Continue reading Red blood cells trigger protective mechanism against heart damage
