New Jersey cardiologists have tested a wrist-worn sensor developed by RCE Technologies Inc. that employs infrared light to continuously detect and instantly measure blood levels of troponin. This protein, released when heart muscle is damaged, is usually measured as a snapshot via a blood draw in the emergency room that can take nearly an hour make the diagnosis of a heart attack. The new wrist sensor uses bluetooth to continuously transmit data to cloud-based computers that use AI to determine a troponin level. A Rutgers University study of 239 patients with suspected heart attacks showed that the wristband determined troponin levels with a 90% accuracy when compared with conventional blood testing. This technology can also be adapted to other circulating biomarkers permitting rapid emergency diagnosis of several disorders. Expect commercialization of this technology.

Investigators at the Japanese company NanoCarrier Ltd. have developed technology to deliver so-called naked mRNA, that is mRNA not wrapped in a lipid container, directly into the skin without a needle. Using jet injection, the mRNA that encodes for a vaccine protein is forced into a person’s skin layers rather than into the sub-skin, the subcutaneous layer, or into the muscle layer. Once in the skin, the mRNA codes for protein that triggers an immune reaction likely stronger than that initiated by an intramuscular injection. The skin itself has a large number of immune cells capable of stimulation. In addition, the protein antigen streams quickly from skin into regional lymph node immune factories where abundant antibodies and killer T cells are generated. Successfully tested in mice, the system is headed for human trials and then into the clinic.

Use of sound waves to numb and silence overactive kidney nerves that drive up blood pressure leads to a substantive 8 point pressure drop in patients poorly responsive to conventional medical therapy. Collaborators at New York’s Columbia University and the Université de Paris analyzed data from 3 randomized trials involving 506 persons with hypertension.

Twice as many patients in the groups receiving ultrasound kidney treatments as an adjunct to their other therapy successfully reached their target blood pressures as those managed with conventional medicinal regimens alone.

So…those of you having problems managing your high blood pressure may expect to have your kidneys medically vibrated… SOMEDAY SOON.

Johns Hopkins computer scientists and bioengineers have partnered to produce human stem cell-derived brain organoids capable of biological computing. These devices are representative of a novel construct known as organoid intelligence. Developed as 3D bioelectrode arrays, these myelinated organoids are capable memory storage, problem solving, and intelligent learning. It’s a brave new world that frightens many but offers the future possibility of a treatment if not a cure for dementia…..SOMEDAY SOON
