Bedfont® manufactures the NObreath® ...
Signifier Medical Technologies LLC (“Signifier” or the “Company”), a Boston-based medical technology company, announced that a peer-reviewed paper has recently been published in Sleep and Breathing. The analysis, published by University of California San Diego investigators Dr. Brandon Nokes, Professor Atul Malhotra, and other collaborators, is based on a post-hoc analysis ...
Post hoc analyses conducted in patient populations at greater risk of progression to severe disease or death suggests that SNG001 may have an important clinical effect on top of standard of care Synairgen plc (LSE: SNG), the respiratory company developing SNG001, an investigational formulation for inhalation containing the broad-spectrum antiviral protein interferon beta, today announces the ...
Accurate breath analysis is key for diagnosis and assessment of pulmonary illnesses. Breath analysis is an important evaluation tool to support respiratory therapists and pulmonologists in the diagnosis and treatment of varying respiratory illnesses. Unfortunately, moisture is an impediment to successful breath ...
A rapid and non-invasive test that can identify whether COVID-19 is present or not can make all the difference in giving people peace of mind to attend appointments for existing medical conditions or to get going again with business, education and sporting activities. This is one of the driving factors for the work of Dr Renelle Myers and her @bccancerfdn team in their Vancouver-based breath ...
The ultra-highly sensitive combination of gas chromatography (GC) and Ion Mobility Spectrometry (IMS) technologies also means that this platform is uniquely suited to be used as a point-of-care diagnostic device in day-to-day medical and healthcare situations where non-invasive sampling and quick test turnaround are needed for early diagnosis leading to more effective treatment. ...
Efforts to develop a quick and non-invasive breath test for the presence of COVID-19 are underway in Vancouver, British Columbia. Imspex’s BreathSpec® is one of a battery of tests that are being used by Dr Renelle Myers and her Vancouver Coastal Health team in their work to develop a breath test that identifies the possible presence of COVID-19 in people who are showing minimal symptoms ...
A non-invasive test for COVID-19 with instant results would be a gamechanger in the efforts against COVID-19. Breath analysis shows a great potential for a rapid, non-invasive detection of COVID-19 infections. Follow our journey around the world, where we shine a light on current research projects where IONICON PTR-TOF instruments are deployed fighting this global pandemic by testing breath for ...
Findings of a feasibility study into the potential for breath analysis to help doctors to differentiate between COVID-19 and other respiratory conditions were published in The Lancet on 24 October 2020. The Imspex Group’s BreathSpec instrument showed clusters of breath compounds reflecting the effects of COVID-19’s multi-system nature. Similar clusters were found independently across ...
IONICON PTR-TOF systems have become the de-facto standard for real-time breath analysis. Learn what they offer for COVID-19 detection in breath. Advantages of breath gas analysis with IONICON PTR-TOFMS and dedicated BET inlet system Breath gas ...
Sampling exhaled breath is non-invasive and simple. But the analysis is the challenge: Several hundred volatile compounds have so far been identified in exhaled breath and their range of concentrations, typically in the parts-per-billion range, are a challenge to most modern analyzers. IONICON PTR-TOF systems are particularly well suited for ...
IONICON participated as an exhibitor and with scientific contributions, also conducting a crowd breath experiment. Numerous excellent talks covered the whole spectrum of breath analysis could be enjoyed by the attendees. Several presented PTR-TOF as their main tool for research, such as VOC analysis – a trailblazer in ...
Bedfont will be found on stand at C57 in Hall 7, where they will be exhibiting an array of its cutting-edge breath and gas analysis equipment, including its popular G200 from the QED product range – Geotech. ...
Axetris, Laser Gas Detection, Leister Corporate, Breath Analysis Axetris Laser Gas Detection modules can detect methane and carbon dioxide at the same time with one device only. This is used in medical applications, such as breath analysis. Breath tests are an effective tool ...
Cairn Diagnostics, formerly known as Advanced Breath Diagnostics (ABDiagnostics), has launched the 13C-Spirulina Gastric Emptying Breath Test (GEBT). ...
Exposure of primary schoolchildren to outdoor green spaces is linked to an improvement in their cognitive development, finds a new study, which is the first of its kind. The association may be partly explained by reductions in traffic-related air pollution (TRAP) near green areas. Approximately half of the global population live in cities, and it is projected that by 2030, three of every five ...
Even then diagnosis is difficult and the symptoms are often general and can be mistaken for other pathologies. Breath gas analysis is a non-invasive method to collect information on the state of an individual by monitoring the concentration of the volatile organic compounds (VOCs) present in the exhaled breath, which are ...
The challenge was held by the National Institutes of Health, the Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology (ONC) of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). New technology that creates a personal, portable, and wearable air pollution sensor, developed under the My Air, My Health Challenge, was announced today ...
