Clinical Research On-Demand: How the University of Washington’s Theberge Lab is Using Tasso to Study Unpredictable Events in Real Time - Case Study
Many important research questions cannot be studied under controlled circumstances. Events like natural disasters or disease exposure often occur without warning and prevent in-person clinic visits, making timely observation difficult without a flexible approach. At the University of Washington, researchers are partnering with Tasso to study these scenarios by deploying on-demand remote ...

Salivary Protein Glycosylation as a Noninvasive Biomarker for Assessment of Glycemia
Abstract Background: Assessment of short-term glycemic control can facilitate monitoring of diabetes development in at-risk individuals and monitoring response to lifestyle modification or medication. We evaluated salivary protein glycosylation levels as a novel, noninvasive, short-term glycemic index in comparison to hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c), fructosamine, 1,5-anhydroglucitol (1,5-AG), and ...

Transcriptional expression of H2B, CTP synthase and PLK3 genes in whole blood exposed to 60Co gamma radiation
Ionising radiation induces complex molecular responses in human cells resulting in changes at mRNA and protein expression. Limited data is available on the transcriptional status of functional genes in response to ionising radiation using peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs). In the present study, transcriptional profiles of Histone 2B, CTP synthase and PLK3 were studied. Blood samples were ...

Blood Storage and Preservation
How Is Blood Stored and Preserved? Blood storage is an important process in the blood banking industry as it helps maintain the quality of blood and its medical effectiveness. Blood can be stored in a few different ways, but the most common method is refrigeration.Blood banks depend on donors to provide blood and blood components. When blood is collected from a donor, it must be processed to ...

The monocyte dysfunction induced by acute tetramine poisoning and corrected by continuous blood purification
The monocyte function of patients with severe tetramine poisoning and the effects of sequential hemoperfusion (HP) and continuous veno-venous hemofiltration (CVVH) on the immune status of the patients were investigated. Eleven patients with severe acute tetramine poisoning were treated with sequential HP and CVVH. The APACHE II score and Glasgow score were used to evaluate the disease status ...

Kurin, Inc. honored by MD Tech Review in annual listing of top Infection Control solutions
The New Standard for Blood Culture Collection Sepsis, is a life-threatening condition caused when the body’s response to an infection goes out of balance, which triggers changes that damage other organs. This deadly infection affects almost 1.7 million people a year in the U.S. and kills nearly 270,000 people. To date, blood cultures remain the gold standard for determining if a patient ...

Impact of feeding flaxseed oil on delaying the development of osteoporosis in ovariectomised diabetic rats
This work is aimed to study the effect of diabetes on bone health and to evaluate the impact of feeding flaxseed oil on delaying osteoporosis. About 70 female albino rats were included; 30 were ovariectomised (ovx). Experimental diabetes was induced. Rats were classified in groups as control, sham, diabetic, diabetic received flaxseed oil in the diet, ovx, ovx-diabetic and ovx-diabetic received ...

Proteins That Provide Key Information to Identify Patients with Poor Prognosis Found
In recent years, immune-based cancer treatment methods have given doctors and patients a lot of hope. Drugs called immune checkpoint inhibitors have provided life-saving benefits to more and more people suffering from melanoma, lung cancer, bladder cancer, and many other types of cancer. Although these drugs are exciting, a frustrating sticking point is that doctors cannot predict who will ...

Glucose metabolism: key to neurodegenerative diseases
Previously, it was thought that glial cells, which support neuronal activity, metabolize most of the glucose in the brain. However, by using induced pluripotent stem cells, the researchers found that neurons were able to take up glucose and process it into smaller metabolites. In mice, normal function of neurons depends on glycolysis. The findings could help develop new treatments for ...

Characterization of trenbolone acetate and estradiol metabolite excretion profiles in implanted steers
Exogenous growth promoters have been used in United States beef cattle production for over 50 years. The environmental fate and transport of steroid growth promoters suggest potential for endocrine disrupting effects among ecological receptors; however, the initial excretion of steroid metabolites from cattle administered growth promoters has not been well characterized. To better characterize ...

Administration of Lactobacillus fermentum KBL375 Causes Taxonomic and Functional Changes in Gut Microbiota Leading to Improvement of Atopic Dermatitis
Abstract Gut microbiota play an important role in immune responses and energy metabolism. In this study, we evaluated whether administration of Lactobacillus fermentum (L. fermentum) KBL375 isolated from healthy Korean feces improves the atopic dermatitis using the house dust mite (Dermatophagoides farinae)-induced atopic dermatitis (AD) mouse model. Administration of L. fermentum KBL375 ...

A Brown pathology professor may have developed a revolutionary new approach to battling one of the world’s deadliest diseases
Jonathan “Jake” Kurtis was riding a night train from Nairobi to Mombasa when he first began to feel sick. Then a 20-year-old Brown junior, Kurtis had gone to the restaurant car for a curry and stayed up late drinking beer with some Americans he’d met. By the time he got back to his sleeper car, he had a vicious headache. “I thought God had visited upon me a righteous ...
