Technology

Image: Determining which stain on these paper filters (top row) is from blood (C) rather than coffee (A) or tea (B) is easier with the new, more selective artemisinin-luminol chemiluminescence test for forensic bloodstain detection (bottom row) (Photo courtesy of ACS).

Antimalarial Compound Improves Forensics of Bloodstains

Forensic investigators often use a luminol chemiluminescence test to detect latent bloodstains at crime scenes. Now, researchers have found that combining luminol with the antimalarial drug artemisinin, a natural peroxide, reduces the risk of false positives compared to the traditional method that mainly uses hydrogen peroxide or sodium perborate as coreactants. They also obtained test results using a smartphone, which could provide highly accurate on-scene analyses. More...

Strip Test Enables Home Monitoring of Heart Condition

Heart failure can often be managed with medications and lifestyle changes, but its progression needs to be monitored closely to adjust treatment and prevent emergency room visits. Now scientists have developed a simple paper test strip that could potentially allow patients to monitor themselves for the first time. More...

Graphene-Based Sensor Helps Predict Asthma Attacks

Researchers have developed a prototype graphene-based device that detects inflammation in lungs, which could lead to earlier detection of asthma attacks and improve the management of asthma and other respiratory diseases, preventing hospitalizations and deaths. The invention helps pave the way for developing small wearable devices that could indicate when and at what dosage to take medication. More...

Novel Device Reduces Blood Draw Contamination

A novel device can significantly reduce contamination of blood cultures, potentially reducing risky overtreatment and unnecessary use of antibiotics for many patients. This approach could also substantially reduce healthcare costs. More...

Simple Urine Test Helps Patients with COPD

An innovative technology could hugely improve the quality of life for people who suffer from the serious lung condition called Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease. The urine test, alerts these people that they are about to suffer a life-limiting lung attack. More...
