Pseudomonas aeruginosa, a hospital-acquired bacterium that causes serious infections, can move from the lungs to the gut inside the same patient, raising the risk of sepsis, new research reveals.
Depression is not only a disease of the mind or the brain, a new study finds: a research team has revealed deep connections to abnormalities in the body's overall immune response.
A team of researchers comprehensively catalogued a new collection of bacteria-eating viruses called phages. These phages could be used to combat Klebsiella pneumoniae - a serious threat in hospitals.
Delivering a pathology service in resource-constrained locations and developing countries remains a challenge. Cost is a significant barrier, as is the availability of equipment, trained staff and technical and IT support can also hinder a desire from clinicians and pathologists to give their patients a high level of service to help their diagnosis and recovery. The subject was tackled in a…
Researchers have created a system that uses generative AI to study the shape and structure of blood cells, and spot unusual or rare cells that may indicate disease such as leukaemia.
The NanoZoomer S540MD by Hamamatsu is engineered with the lab in mind for a seamless workflow. Featuring compatibility with staining racks, fast slide scanning, exceptional image quality, and an intuitive touchscreen interface, this high-capacity scanner is built to handle the needs of the clinical pathology laboratory.
Using a bioengineered bone marrow model, researchers were able to provide key new information on the efficacy and safety of CAR T-cell therapy for acute myeloid leukaemia (AML), the most common leukaemia in adults.
Most patients with metastatic colorectal cancer do not respond to immunotherapy—but why? A new study shows how the tumours block the immune system through two complementary mechanisms.
More than a decade of protection against the human papillomavirus (HPV): a new study confirms the long-term effectiveness of the HPV vaccine to prevent development of cervical cancer and pre-cancer.
A biosensor that identifies volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in exhaled breath could be used in conjunction with AI to detect various thoracic cancers including lung cancer.
An innovative Group A Streptococcus “One-Step Antigen Extraction + Detection” Kit (immunochromatography), developed by GenSure Biotech Inc., has successfully obtained both Class B and Class C EU IVDR certifications for in vitro diagnostic medical devices.
Biomarker testing is ushering in a novel era of therapy personalisation for gastroesophageal and colorectal cancers, according to experts presenting at the 37th European Congress of Pathology in Vienna this September. During a session on state-of-the-art in gastrointestinal biomarkers, speakers outlined how targeted therapies and immunotherapies are transforming treatment options – but…
Newly discovered blood biomarkers may offer new options to track Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) in a less invasive way than physical tests or biopsies. This could support more tailored treatments.
Researchers have discovered a previously unknown mechanism that explains how bacteria within a tumor can drive treatment resistance in patients with oral and colorectal cancer.
In the NICU, a few hours can mean the difference between unnecessary procedures and targeted, life-saving treatment. A new speed record for WGS opens new diagnostic possibilities.
Scientists are on the way to finding a vaccine to fight off Helicobacter pylori - a bacterium found in over 60% of people - possibly preventing stomach ulcers and lowering the risk for stomach cancer.
Chronic fatigue (ME/CFS) affects millions worldwide, but is poorly understood and has long lacked reliable diagnostic tools. Now, a new blood test claims to diagnose the condition with 96% accuracy.
HIV manages to persist in the body for decades after infection and treatment. Now, researchers discovered that the virus cloaks itself in the DNA of infected cells using unique DNA patterns.
Researchers from the University of Birmingham’s Bladder Cancer Research Centre have found a new way of detecting tumour DNA in urine to identify bladder cancer.
A new technique has measured boron in individual cancer cells for the first time, enabling researchers to better understand how drugs act to kill tumours in some cancers.
A new study shows that a gene expression test on routinely collected prostate tissue can help guide therapy choices for prostate cancer patients whose cancer has spread to other parts of the body.
An unexpected trigger for heart attack: Researchers show that dormant bacteria can contribute to atherosclerotic plaques and fatal myocardial infarction, effectively making it an infectious disease.
As digital transformation accelerates across healthcare, AIRA Matrix stands at the forefront of artificial intelligence innovation in pathology. The company will showcase its comprehensive portfolio of AI-driven diagnostic and analytical solutions at the upcoming European Congress of Pathology in Vienna this September.
For Sakura Finetek, the ECP congress theme “Tradition meets the future” reflects who we are: a company deeply rooted in histopathology tradition, with a proud legacy of quality and reliability, yet constantly pushing boundaries to transform the future of diagnostics.
