The Challenges of TB Detection

Mycobacteria tuberculosis complex (“MTBC”) is the pathogenic bacteria causing tuberculosis (“TB”). On the other hand, nontuberculous mycobacteria (“NTM”) is also another bacterium that has the potential to cause disease. Mycobacteria are organisms living in water, animal tissues, soil, and food sources. The organisms can conquer their hosts without showing any pathogenic signs and can cause serious infections. Infections by MTBC and NTM organisms have continued posing a lot of challenges to microbiologists and physicians globally. Their exclusive cell wall component prevents them from straining by a standard gram strain procedure. Worldwide TB Epidemic M.tuberculosis is the most common TB-causing bacterium…

What the Naked Mole Rat Can Teach Researchers About Cancer

The naked mole-rat (“NMR”) has the same size as the normal mouse and is also a burrowing rodent. The hairless rodent has been attracting a lot of attention from scientists due to its capability to resist cancer, its impressive ability to survive without oxygen for 18 minutes, and its unusually long lifespan. One of the researchers has decided to research to determine the mechanisms behind the naked rat’s remarkable resistance to cancer. The naked mole-rat has a very minimal case of cancer among all mammals, and more knowledge about this cancer-resistant trait will give more insights into how cancer develops…

4 Considerations When Developing Mobile Health Devices

Modern-day mobile technology is making strides in the medical device industry and is opening up new avenues for both physicians and patients. However, for these devices to be successful, they need approval from the FDA. Initially, mobile technology was only referred to as the device that was implanted into patients and communicated directly to clinicians within the hospital's confines. This has now changed, and the trend is “wearables.” The wearable can be directly worn on the body or clothing as accessories. Currently, the wearables are being used mostly by athletes to monitor heart rates and other parameters. Your devices need…
