Tuesday June 21, 202213:00 PM CEST/ 20:00 PM JST Our laboratory has previously demonstrated that fluctuations in medium composition in multilayer cultures of epithelial tissues (epidermal and corneal epithelial tissues) with three-dimensional structures can be used to understand the state of the epithelial tissues. In addition, this experience is applied to suspension cultures of iPS cell […]
Prolonged intrapartum hypoxia can result in hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy (HIE), which affects1.5-2.5 of 1,000 newborns annually. Infants with HIE may develop permanent health conditions and disorders such as cerebral palsy, epilepsy, hearing and vision impairments, and more. During labor, fetal monitoring using cardiotocography (CTG) can screen for hypoxia. CTG has high sensitivity but low predictive […]
This webinar provides an introduction to the peculiar aspects of glycaemic control in neonates, starting with the description of the risk of neonatal hypoglycaemia, to proceed with the recommendations from national guidelines and the role of POC glucose meters. Published studies highlighting the main issues and potential solutions of the use of POC glucometers in […]
Date: Thursday, March 24, 2022 Time: 01:00 PM Eastern Daylight Time Various clinics and units in the hospital rely on glucose testing to manage patient care.

This presentation will analyse the key point-of-care (POC) tests available and recommended to monitor septic patients. The added value of POC will be supported by published references and professional guidelines. Tests that only recently have become available as POC will also be presented and their importance in the management of septic patients will also be […]
Date: Thursday, December 02, 2021 Time: 01:00 PM Eastern Standard Time Dr. Ravindra Mehta, an internationally recognized nephrologist, will discuss a multi-country, International Society of Nephrology (ISN) sponsored study demonstrating that a comprehensive program of point-of-care creatinine/eGFR testing, urine dipstick testing, and protocolized care management can improve the recognition of AKI in low-resource settings, improve clinical outcomes, […]
Salt, NaCl, is the most abundant mineral in the human body. Up until recently, the understanding of the pathophysiology and diuretic treatment of heart failure has been focused on sodium and water. Chloride, however, despite flanking sodium as its anionic counterpart in salt, has been ignored. Over the last several years, however, chloride has been […]
