Diagnostic Solution Identifies Sepsis Causing Microorganisms and Predicts Antibiotic Resistance in 90 Minutes

A new in-vitro diagnostic solution for microbial infections identifies the pathogen(s) as well as allows to identify and predict the resistance profile within 90 minutes to ensure that the appropriate anti-infective treatment can be adapted or administered quickly, reducing the risk of death in severe systemic infections.

Allogeneic Stem Cell Transplants Improve Microbiome, Immune Cells

Past studies have suggested ties between microbial diversity and favorable allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HCT) outcomes, or transplants involving stem cells from healthy donors. The interactions between the gut microbial community and the immune system can influence an individual's response to a bone marrow transplant to treat leukemia, lymphoma, multiple myeloma, and other blood conditions.

Five Methods Evaluated for Constrictive Tuberculous Pericarditis Diagnosis

Constrictive pericarditis is a rare and serious disease that accounts for approximately 0.5%–2% of all heart diseases. It results in decreased pericardial compliance and can severely affect the diastolic filling function of the heart, mainly as a symptom of right heart failure, such as multiple plasma chamber effusions and edema.
