GHTM Session 2022CCID07 » Pre-Analytical Variables and their Effects in Diagnosis – Practice Makes Perfect

GHTM Sessions 2022 CCID07 » Pre-Analytical Variables and their Effects in Diagnosis – Practice Makes Perfect

  • De: 04/05/2022
  • Até: 04/05/2022
  • Localização: ZOOM | 11h00

The increasing demand and use of high-quality samples and data place biobanks at the centre of basic and translational research. This seminar will address the importance of pre-analytical quality for sample diagnosis validation in order to help researchers meet the highest quality standards for their research.

GHTM Session 2022CCID05p » Mass spectrometry-based Adductomics tools: A Field of Opportunities for Differential Diagnosis and Precision Medicine

GHTM Sessions 2022 CCID05 » Mass spectrometry-based Adductomics tools: A Field of Opportunities for Differential Diagnosis and Precision Medicine

  • De: 23/03/2022
  • Até: 23/03/2022
  • Localização: ZOOM | 11h00

Adductomics is a powerful tool to link exposure with the occurrence of diseases, constituting an opportunity for the identification of risk factors, molecular mechanisms of adverse outcomes and biomarkers for early disease diagnosis. Additionally, adductomics can guide regulatory and preventive actions, thereby leading to the minimization of exposure-related health adverse outcomes.

GHTM Session 2022CCID02p » Mozambique’s first medical drone study: evidence on flight safety and quality of COVID-19 and Tuberculosis laboratory samples

GHTM Sessions 2022 CCID02 » Mozambique’s first medical drone study: evidence on flight safety and quality of COVID-19 and Tuberculosis laboratory samples

  • De: 26/01/2022
  • Até: 26/01/2022
  • Localização: ZOOM | 11h00

Drones can be used to transport laboratory samples in remote areas, but limited evidence exists on whether that transport affects the samples’ results. Given its potential, the Ministry of Health and the National Institute of Health of Mozambique partnered with VillageReach NGO to generate such data and 300 respiratory samples were transported by two drones, departing from, and returning to the «INS TB Reference Laboratory» in Marracuene district. The samples’ analysis concluded that their quality had not changed by flight, being comparable to land transport.

GHTM Session 2022CCID01p » Plasmonic nanoparticles to detect single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs)

GHTM Sessions 2022 CCID01 » Plasmonic nanoparticles to detect single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs)

  • De: 12/01/2022
  • Até: 12/01/2022
  • Localização: ZOOM | 11h00

There is an overall increase in life expectancy associated to high costs in health care for an ageing population in the industrialised world. Consequently, there is a demand for fast, cheap and easy to use diagnostic tests that are essential in identifying patients, determining prognosis, monitoring treatment and assessing the efficacy of prevention. Here, nanotechnology has a prominent role, with special emphasis on noble metal nanoparticles. The presentation focuses on alternative nanotechnology-based test-kit for detection of single nucleotide polymorphism as the one associated with lactose intolerance. Methodology, advantages and limitations will be discussed.
