Egyptologists go high tech to unlock ancient mysteries

In the 21st century, the scientists have been using electronic devices and chemical testing to date artefacts. Chemical testing still requires small samples, but advanced techniques coming into use are meant to be non-invasive so as not to damage the ancient relics. ScanPyramids is among the most ambitious of the projects to demystify the Khufu Pyramid near Cairo, the only surviving monument from the ancient Seven Wonders of the World.

Siemens Healthineers Offers True High-Sensitivity Troponin I IVD Assay for Earlier Diagnosis of Myocardial Infarctions
(CPV) - Siemens Healthineers announced today the availability of its new high-sensitivity troponin I (TNIH)1 in vitro diagnostics assay, designed to aid in diagnosing acute myocardial infarctions (AMI) through the quantitative measurement of cardiac troponin I in serum or plasma. High-sensitivity troponin plays a critical role in the timely diagnosis of AMI, or heart attacks. AMI can be life-threatening if not treated as soon as possible because as blood flow to the heart is blocked, the heart muscle begins to die in as few as 30 to 60 minutes. “With the introduction of the high-sensitivity troponin I assay, Siemens Healthineers is continuing to deliver proven technologies that address the global need to improve cardiac care with fast, reliable diagnostic options for better patient outcomes,” said Franz Walt, President, Laboratory Diagnostics, Siemens Healthineers. “This new assay will provide clinicians with actionable results and the confidence to act swiftly … [Read more...] about Siemens Healthineers Offers True High-Sensitivity Troponin I IVD Assay for Earlier Diagnosis of Myocardial Infarctions
