In this webinar, we will examine how immune recognition after allogeneic HCT can influence leukemia relapse and disease progression. The session will highlight the clinical relevance of HLA loss of heterozygosity (LOH), approaches used for its detection, and how LOH findings may support transplant strategies, including considerations for donor selection in subsequent transplantation.

Webinar presenter Alberto Cardoso Martins Lima, PhD, Clinical consulting scientist in histocompatibility,
specializing in allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) at IGEN/AFIP São Paulo and CHC/UFPR in Curitiba, Brazil

BD gets clearance for MRSA diagnostics AI software

June 2023—BD received FDA 510(k) clearance for the BD Kiestra methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus imaging application, which uses artificial intelligence to automate the task of inspecting Petri dishes to determine if there is bacterial growth. The application can evaluate single specimens or group together a large volume of plates with nonsignificant growth for batch review and release negative results. It uses AI algorithms to look for specific culture characteristics on the BBL Chromagar MRSA II plate. Based on that information and analysis by BD Synapsys informatics, plate images are automatically organized and sorted into meaningful worklists, the company says.

 

Verichem calibration verifiers for cholinesterase testing
