Microsulis reports additional IEC electrical safety clearances for Accu2i pMTA system

Microsulis reports that the groundbreaking Accu2i pMTA system for destroying unwanted tissue and used in the treatment of liver and other cancers now carries an impressive range of electrical safety standards. The Accu2i is CE-marked and carries FDA 510(k) clearance and so is cleared for electrical safety and performance with the internationally recognised standard IEC 60601-1 for electrical safety.

South Texas Blood & Tissue Center marks three months of using Biolog-id's solution for COVID-19

Biolog-id, LLC, a world leader in connected solutions for blood products, and South Texas Blood & Tissue Center, a leading provider of blood products throughout South Texas and beyond, mark three months of successful utilization of Biolog-id's dedicated Convalescent Plasma solution in its supply chain.

CALHM1 channel protein releases ATP to make neural taste connections

Saying that the sense of taste is complicated is an understatement, that it is little understood, even more so. Exactly how cells transmit taste information to the brain for three out of the five primary taste types was pretty much a mystery, until now.

Dexamethasone should be a standard drug in severe COVID-19

Many scientists have explored the use of new as well as already approved drugs for this condition, and one of the very few promising leads is dexamethasone. Dexamethasone is a corticosteroid, which has been reported in some earlier studies to reduce mortality in these patients by 18% and 36% in COVID-19 patients who are on oxygen and ventilators, respectively.

Vascular Access

The arteriovenous (AV) fistulae is considered long term vascular access for hemodialysis because it allows good blood flow, lasts a long time, and is less likely to get infected or cause blood clots than other types of access. Patients who don't have time to get a permanent vascular access before they start hemodialysis treatments may need to use a venous catheter as a temporary access.
