2023 01 Feb

In-vitro diagnostic tests allow for quick results and prompt decision-making by medical professionals in near-patient settings. The abioSCOPE® device uses nanofluidic technology to quickly measure the number of molecules in a sample using a small amount of fluid and minimal preparation, resulting in fast results. Pancreatic stone protein (PSP) is a...Read more

According to the Surviving Sepsis Campaign (SSC), sepsis is a life-threatening organ dysfunction caused by a dysregulated host response to infection. The organ dysfunction may be transitory in some patients, but complications can always occur in others. For example, a patient who has undergone cardiac surgery can present postoperative cardiac dysfunction,...Read more

The two primary reasons for using antibiotics are treating and preventing bacterial infections. However, a leading cause of the overuse of antibiotics is the misdiagnosis of sepsis. Early and accurate diagnostics using point-of-care biomarkers can help address this issue.    Sepsis is a dysregulated reaction of the body to infection. It is a...Read more

Sepsis is a life-threatening organ dysfunction and a cause of significant morbidity and mortality. In addition, the high number of sepsis cases is a significant economic burden for healthcare systems. Statistics show that sepsis was the most expensive condition treated in the U.S. in 2013, costing nearly $24 billion. An analysis of Medicare claims...Read more

Severe infections cause significant morbidity and mortality among hospitalised patients. Early detection of life-threatening infections is crucial to improving outcomes. However, none of the circulating blood biomarkers that have been investigated have been found to detect life-threatening infection quickly or accurately. Despite sub-optimal results,...Read more

Sepsis continues to be a challenging health problem associated with high morbidity and mortality. Approximately 48.9 million cases of sepsis were recorded worldwide in 2017, with 11 million related deaths. Sepsis guidelines emphasise the early recognition and aggressive management of this condition with early antibiotic treatment and support. If not...Read more

1. Sepsis: the Need for Speed Sepsis is a life-threatening form of organ dysfunction caused by a dysregulated host response to infection 1 . This extremely heterogeneous and dynamic syndrome is the result of complex interactions between invading microorganisms and the host’s immune system. Disruption of the host’s ability to maintain immune homeostasis...Read more

Sepsis is a global healthcare problem, with 50 million cases each year and 11 million related deaths  1 . It’s the life-threatening complication of an infection, in which the host’s immune response to a pathogen damages its own organs. The clinical diagnosis of sepsis relies mostly on signs and symptoms that are neither sensitive nor specific enough...Read more
