New diagnostic and treatment approach will require close interaction with Pathologists There’s a novel diagnostic device designed to detect sepsis that also has to potential to engage the pathologist as part of the bedside care team. It is also an example of how nanotechnology and magnetism are being combined in ways that may support in vivo diagnosis and treatment. Created by a research scientist at Children’s Hospital Boston, this new device uses magnetism to quickly pull...
