The FDA has approved Airsupra inhalation aerosol (albuterol budesonide), for use in the treatment of bronchoconstriction or prevention, and to reduce asthma attacks among asthmatics 18 years and older. Airsupra combines albuterol, a beta-2-adrenergic receptor agonist (and corticosteroid), with budesonide. Airsupra, a combination of inhaled corticosteroid and short-acting -agonist, is the U.S.’s first product containing ICS […]
Scientists have discovered a way to transform cancer cells into powerful anticancer agents. Researchers have developed an innovative cell therapy to eradicate tumors and instill long-term immunity. This will train the immune system and prevent it from returning. The team’s early research showed promising results when they tested their dual-action cancer-killing vaccination in a mouse […]

LifeGel ™ was the first hemostatic agent to be granted Breakthrough Device Designation. It is intended for a highly differentiated and new indication […]
Cantargia AB (Nasdaq Stockholm CANTA) has announced the conclusion of its Good Laboratory Practices (GLP) toxicity studies for CAN10, an anti-inflammatory IL1RAP binding antibody. The study showed that CAN10 is well tolerated if administered for six weeks. Cantargia intends to begin the phase I clinical trials for CAN10 in the first half 2023. In the current GLP […]
Stanford Medicine researchers have made a discovery that could pave the road for a prophylactic nasal spray or “morning-after” spray to help prevent infection. Someone just coughed in your face. On a flight. At a dinner party. In the supermarket queue There should be a nasal spray for the morning after that can stop respiratory viruses from colonizing […]
A report in Science Translational Medicine found that an experimental malaria vaccine containing whole inactivated Plasmodium Falciparumsporozoites decreased the risk of infection in adults living in a malaria endemic area. In a 5-dose regimen with a lower concentration, the vaccine had previously shown greater than 90 percent vaccine efficacy in controlled infections and 52 percent vaccine efficacy in […]
Pie Medical Imaging, a leader and innovator in cardiac imaging software, has released Qardia v2.0. CAAS Qardia is a clinical measurement tool that uses artificial intelligence. CAAS Qardia Platform is a “zero footprint” solution that can be deployed in hospitals. The web browser can access any PC in the network. The new version allows you to perform an […]
Berks county, Pennsylvania is the first community in Pennsylvania to form partnerships with local health departments. In collaboration with the Administration for Strategic Preparedness and Response at the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (ASPR), the National Institutes of Health has launched the Home Test to Treat Program, an entirely virtual intervention in community health that […]
Tourette syndrome is a disorder that causes uncontrollable vocal or motor tics. It usually begins in childhood, and it can affect school performance, relationships and quality of living. A Yale team used stem cells to create 3D brain models in a culture plate that mirrored the development of patients’ brains. This revealed mechanisms for why this […]
The National Institutes of Health supported a research team that developed a new method to better understand polycystic renal disease (PKD), affecting millions of people worldwide. Scientists used two methods to model the disorder – organs-in-a dish and organs-on-a chip technologies – to demonstrate the role glucose, a common sugar found in blood, plays in forming […]
