Monday, March 18, 2024

TAICHUNG, March 18, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Chronic Kidney Disease has become a new "national disease" in Taiwan, and the number of patients requiring hemodialysis is increasing. Traditionally, hemodialysis patients and accompanies require at least an hour spent on commuting, and that maybe even more time consuming for those who live in suburbs. Moreover, patients almost feel tired or fatigue and need rest half a day following hemodialysis. Since 2019 in Taiwan, China Medical University Hospital (CMUH) has initiated and implemented AI monitoring system for hemodialysis patients. The unique AI system receives the messages sent by the dialysis machine to keep track of any risk message with incorporated AI system, ensuring patient safety and collecting information for prescription adaptation. Accredited with CMUH's AI technology, those who require hemodialysis are not necessary to visit a healthcare facility for this routine. Dr. Huey-Liang Kuo, Director of Hemodialysis Center at CMUH, stated that patients have been heathier and safer to do hemodialysis at home.

Key Points: 
  • Since 2019 in Taiwan, China Medical University Hospital (CMUH) has initiated and implemented AI monitoring system for hemodialysis patients.

Monday, November 6, 2023

TORONTO, Nov. 6, 2023 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Discover an informative webinar exploring the impact of osmolality in bioprocessing and in correlation with immunoglobulin G (IgG) production. Osmolality is described as the measurement of the contribution of all the dissolved solutes to the osmotic pressure of a solution. In biopharma, osmolality is usually used as a critical quality control (QC) check for cell culture media, buffers and formulated drug products. It is also used as a critical process parameter during upstream cell culture and downstream filtration.

Key Points: 
  • Attendees will learn about using osmolality analysis in Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cell health studies.
  • The featured speakers will discuss current uses and future potential for osmolality analysis at the upstream and downstream stages of bioprocessing.

Tuesday, June 21, 2022

KANSAS CITY, Mo., June 21, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Summertime beachgoers are all too familiar with the painful reality of a jellyfish sting. But how do the stinging cells of jellyfish and their coral and sea anemone cousins actually work? New research from the Stowers Institute for Medical Research unveils a precise operational model for the stinging organelle of the starlet sea anemone, Nematostella vectensis. The study, published online in Nature Communications on June 17, 2022, was led by Ahmet Karabulut, a predoctoral researcher in the lab of Matt Gibson, PhD. Their work involved the application of cutting-edge microscopic imaging technologies along with the development of a biophysical model to enable a comprehensive understanding of a mechanism that has remained elusive for over a century. Insights from the work could lead to beneficial applications in medicine, including the development of microscopic therapeutic delivery devices for humans.

Key Points: 
  • But how do the stinging cells of jellyfish and their coral and sea anemone cousins actually work?
  • Insights from the work could lead to beneficial applications in medicine, including the development of microscopic therapeutic delivery devices for humans.
  • The first phase is the initial, projectile-like discharge and target penetration of a densely coiled thread from the nematocyst capsule.
  • I realized nematocysts partially discharged their threads while the reagent I used simultaneously and instantaneously fixed the samples," said Karabulut.
