Drug delivery is often inhibited by the blood-brain barrier that protects the brain. However, now a new study may have gained insight into how to 'trick' this part of the body in order to make it easier to treat many of the diseases of the central nervous system. The study was focused on so-called nanoparticle liposome drug carriers, which act like a Trojan Horse, making it simpler to allow drug delivery to the brain without the blood-brain barrier getting in the way. This development could have vital implications for diseases of the nervous system, including Parkinson's, Alzheimer's and Sclerosis. This is one of the first studies to establish that nanoparticle entry to the brain is possible and to show why, when and where it happens. Researchers used two-photon imaging to deconstruct the blood-brain barrier to understand how nanoparticles interact with it. This kind of innovation is only possible through building the kinds of exceptional teams that come from great technology and pharmaceutical research & development recruitment.

Hearing aids provide the opportunity for many people to improve the way they experience the world - or that's the theory at least. However, a new study that has focused on analyzing the neural coding of speech sounds has identified an issue that could explain why so many hearing aids end up back in the box. The study found that the sound-processing algorithms that are used by hearing aids can have a negative impact on the wearer when it comes to their ability to discriminate sounds. This isn't the first study that has been focused on why we tend to discard our hearing aids but it could provide an opportunity to tweak hearing aid design so that the technology is much more useful. Rather than patients claiming that their hearing aids simply don't work that well, overcoming the problem that hearing aids don't provide clear and comfortable speech recognition in many of the environments we pass through every day could make the devices much more widely useful.

As cloud services have expanded, we have increasingly become used to being able to access them whenever we want to, regardless of spikes in demand or other availability factors.

Clinical operations is one part of the global economy that has faced a great deal of disruption as a result of COVID-19. In order to adapt to the new reality of a pandemic, trials and supply chains have been forced to swiftly evolve. Some of the factors that have had a big role to play include the reluctance of patients to attend clinical trials while the threat of coronavirus infection remained high - which has jeopardized the data that has been received from clinical trials - as well as the import and export controls that have impacted on the transport of medical supplies.

A vast expansion in telehealth services has been one of the key developments in the American healthcare market over the past year. According to figures from research company PitchBook, there has been a huge increase in health businesses offering remote urgent care, virtual primary care and new wearable technologies to monitor patient health.

Diabetics tend to suffer from many different issues, one of which is a problem with breaking bones. In fact, someone with Type 2 diabetes is three times more likely to break one of their bones than someone who doesn't have the condition at all. This is something that has puzzled scientists for years, as people who suffer many broken bones often have low bone density - however, that isn't usually the case with diabetics.

When it comes to big data, experts have become frustrated with their inability to interpret their data as they require. Owing to a lack of machine resources, their complex analytic queries often take a lot of time, preventing them to effectively evaluate the amount of data required to provide the insights they need. In the data-centric climate of today, an organisation's performance depends on its ability to take the data it has and use it to make strategic choices that benefit the data stakeholders. The pandemic has introduced new opportunities and the need for rapid, but robust, analytics for swift decision making, in addition to the increasingly rising data volumes that have already challenged data professionals.
