OrbusNeich's Genous(TM) Bio-engineered R stent(TM) is feasible and safe for use in acute myocardial infarction (AMI) patients, according to a paper published in the American Heart Journal (2008; Vol. 155, Issue 1: 128-132).

The paper, based on a study of 120 acute ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) patients who received a Genous stent, reports there was no incidence of late thrombosis and that the revascularization rate of 2.5% at six months is highly acceptable when compared to published primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) rates for bare metal stents. The paper also highlighted the low rate of major adverse cardiac events (MACE): 4.2% at 30 days and 5.8% at six months.

MELBOURNE, Australia, February 15 /PRNewswire/ --

In a landmark study electronically published today in the American Journal of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine, a blood test for detecting TB infection, QuantiFERON(R)-TB Gold (QFT(TM)), has been shown to be six times more accurate than the conventional tuberculin skin test (TST) at predicting which tuberculosis (TB)-exposed individuals will go on to develop TB disease. This study has important implications for the worldwide effort to eradicate TB, as accurately indentifying TB-infected individuals allows health authorities to treat them before they develop disease, and the greater accuracy of the new test makes this more efficient as well as cheaper and safer.
