Amyloidosis is a rare disease caused by the accumulation and the deposition of proteins such as immunoglobulin light-chain protein in AL amyloidosis and misfolded transthyretin (TTR) protein in ATTR amyloidosis. There are a few other types of amyloidosis as well, which are either a result of a preexisting condition or are not highly prevalent. Vari...

Hospitals have been the mainstay of providing care delivery to patients, including diagnostic services and therapeutic interventions. However, as a limited number of health professionals cater to multiple patients, caregivers are unable to dedicate sufficient time to each patient to understand their needs and effectively monitor their response to t...

Predictive genetic testing refers to the testing of genetic mutations and variations in an individual to predict the risk of disease susceptibility and the inheritance of Mendelian diseases and other complex diseases. Genomic analysis studies such as genome-wide association studies (GWAS), SNP arrays, and the WGS of select populations have helped t...

Pharmaceutical companies spend billions of dollars in drug development because of expensive and time-consuming clinical trials, with a meager success rate. Frequent clinical visits, manual data processing, and a lack of consistent data on the effectiveness of the investigation of medical products contribute to their low success rate. Digital bio...

The rise in both global population and travel is contributing to the increase in spread of infectious diseases. Rapid and accurate identification of the infectious pathogens are imperative for timely intervention, better patient outcomes, and control and management of the spread of the infection. Conventional infectious disease diagnoses are perfor...

A major challenge in drug discovery is the limited number of gene targets that can be targeted for the development of a drug molecule. Only close to 400 genes are proven targets for US FDA-approved drugs. 80% of human genes are unexplored as targets, and some are considered undruggable. The identification and the selection of novel drug targets (p...

Over the years, the healthcare industry has developed several unique technologies for emergency medical services and critical care. An important user of critical care healthcare products is the military or the defense forces. Advanced medical technologies have improved the care that is offered, and they also enable safer and quicker care for soldie...

Imaging is an important element in the clinical evaluation of pediatric patients, and it helps in better diagnosis and treatment of different medical conditions. However, pediatric patients are more radiosensitive than adults, and excessive radiation exposure puts them at risk of developing cancer. In addition, the imaging device settings used for ...

For a long time, drug discovery followed the same path and used conventional analysis methods for proposed targets. Today, changes in technology and the ability to study omics are transforming drug development. Personalized therapy is on the rise and promises to be more effective and efficient in addressing challenges. With growing interest in ...
