What is biofilm? Biofilms are defined as communities of micro-organisms attached to a surface, or one another, and encased within a matrix of extracellular polymeric substance (EPS). The EPS makes up the largest component of the biofilm, and in the biological environment is generally composed of polysaccharides, proteins, glycolipids, blood products, cellular debris, extracellular enzymes, metal ...
Pregnancy and childbirth are critical moments in the life of a woman, marking the beginning of a new chapter in their lives with the arrival of a newborn. While most pregnancies and deliveries occur without significant complications, there are instances where the health of the mother, the baby, or both could be at risk. In such critical situations, blood transfusions can be a lifeline, ensuring ...
Biomedical liquid waste originating from healthcare facilities, laboratories, and research centers often contains infectious materials that, when discharged without proper treatment, can contribute to the spread of communicable diseases through public sewers. These diseases can affect individuals coming into contact with contaminated water sources ...
Medical cold chain solutions often make a difference between people being affected by a disease or being healthy. Our solutions are not mere tools, but rather lifelines that ensure the safe storage and transport of critical drugs, vaccines, samples and more. The efficacy of these biologicals, crucial in medical treatments and procedures, is inextricably linked to the quality and reliability of ...
Bleeding disorders, a collection of conditions that prevent blood from clotting correctly, can be life-threatening. They’re caused by issues such as aberrant platelets, abnormal clotting proteins, or problematic blood vessels. ...
When blood is collected from a donor, it must be processed to remove red blood cells and plasma (the liquid part of blood), which are used for transfusions. ...
The use of Quantitative Susceptibility Mapping (QSM) is often viewed as incompatible with current standard radiology workflows. Some radiologists or departments may be unaware of its existence or purpose. Despite the skepticism surrounding its viability in a clinical setting, QSM shows great potential in a wide range of clinical applications, particularly for biomarker detection and ...
Background A 16 y/o male with a history of irritable bowel disease presents to the Emergency Department vomiting blood. He has an ostomy in place. His initial vital signs were BP 82/59, HR 160, SI 1.95. He was ill-appearing, with skin gray and ashen. The staff placed a 20-gauge peripheral IV and infused a 1-liter NS bolus using the LifeFlow PLUS and the QinFlow Warrior blood and fluid warmer. ...
But why is this the case and what storage solutions are available for this? Blood is made up of many different components which interact constantly with each other and the rest of our body: red blood cells bring the necessary oxygen to the cells of our body, white blood cells kill any pathogen ...
INTRODUCTION The goal of the implant surgeon is to place the implant in the ideal position, to support the prosthesis for the best long term prognosis, while managing important anatomical landmarks. With the aid of Cone Beam CT scans the implant surgeon is able to evaluate, in three dimension, the ridge, important anatomy, as well as pre-plan implant placement in the most ideal position. ...
Flooding damaged, inflamed tissues with light photons promotes increased blood flow and increased production of pain reduction chemicals (e.g. endorphins) from the brain and adrenal glands. The result is significantly better oxygenation, promoting pain relief and faster recovery of damaged cells, with a cascade of the body’s natural healing ...
The condition is also closely linked to metabolic syndrome, a condition that is a combination of cardiovascular and blood sugar control symptoms such as elevated blood pressure, elevated blood fats, insulin resistance, elevated blood sugar and increased abdominal fat. ...

Much uncertainty surrounds transmission of transmissible spongiform encephalopathies (TSEs) through blood and blood derived products. A first expert elicitation with 14 experts was conducted in March 2008, and a second re–elicitation involving 11 experts was held a year later in March 2009. Both expert groups were calibrated using a series of seed questions for which values are known, and then ...

The Transfusion-Associated Graft-Versus-Host Disease (TA-GVHD) is a serious potential complication of blood transfusions that is essentially prevented by blood product irradiation. In this study, scattering profiles from lyophilised and irradiated samples of plasma (PL) and formed elements (MC) were compared with non-irradiated ones. Fresh blood specimens were obtained from volunteers by vein ...
The National Institute for Biological Standards and Control (NIBSC) has for several years been involved in moving the recording of sample information from traditional paper-based and individual electronic systems, to a single cohesive and accessible electronic system. The aim is to access all information on all stored samples easily from anywhere within the Institute. We discussed with Pam ...
