Putting β-glucan testing into everyday practice for fungal infections

Invasive fungal infections are notoriously hard to catch early, and even harder to rule out with confidence. At CHU Bordeaux, Dr Frédéric Gabriel has spent years refining how his lab uses β-D-glucan (BDG) testing to sharpen that judgement call – including with the Wako β-glucan test. In this interview, he explains what the guidelines say, what actually happens at the bench, and where he…

The case for imaging in Europe’s Safe Hearts Plan

Cardiovascular disease remains the leading cause of death across the EU, cutting short the lives of millions of Europeans every year, and placing an enormous strain on health systems and economies alike. Yet prevention and early intervention can have a major impact – and this is precisely the ambition of the EU Safe Hearts Plan. At a high-level event at the European Parliament in Brussels in July, policymakers, clinicians, patients, and industry came together to explore how diagnostic imaging can contribute to this goal.
