PRECISION DOSING 

Precision dosing can be performed with the flexiVent’s ventilator-assisted aerosol delivery, in intubated small animals.

In conscious small subjects, breathing parameters and accumulated volume is monitored using plethysmography during exposure inhalation studies.

For large animals, monitoring during and post exposure can be performed by non-invasive telemetry.

Booth #1634

Neuroscience 2019 will take place at McCormick Place in Chicago. Join 30,000 colleagues from more than 70 countries at the world’s largest marketplace of ideas and tools for global neuroscience.

emka TECHNOLOGIES will be happy to show you implanted and head mounted systems for EEG acquisition.

Without any tethering cables, subjects are freely moving and emitting up to 4 noise-free EEG signals, for easy analysis of many neurological disorders: Sleep disorders, Seizure & epilepsy,  Traumatic Brain Injury and many more.

As an example, our wireless rodentPACK system can be used to collect continuous video-EEG recordings and monitor for epileptiform discharges consistent with post-traumatic epileptogenesis, as explained in a recent publication by McGuire et al. in the Journal of Visualized Experiments (JoVE).

Looking forward to seeing you in Chicago!

In recent years, cardiovascular safety scientists have adopted a number of analysis software platforms designed to streamline the evaluation of ECG and hemodynamic endpoints.

Post-processing with technologies such as pattern recognition can improve speed and accuracy of analysis using user-defined waveform libraries. While these technologies increase efficiency, the need to evaluate larger datasets (beat to beat), with increased depth (e.g. arrhythmia analysis), presents some conundrums: the need for significant level of human intervention, processing time, and most importantly, can be prone to high inter-user variability, a potential consequence of varying experience and analysis fatigue.

The goal of this study, presented by Mr Baublits from Amgen, during SPS Annual Meeting in Barcelona, is to leverage historical data to guide a novel pattern recognition algorithm in performing automated ECG and hemodynamic analyses.

September 28- October 02, 2019
Madrid, SPAIN Booth # V13

The annual European Respiratory Society congress (ERS) will be held in Madrid, bringing together world-class researchers to discuss the latest discoveries in pulmonary research.

Mouse models are of invaluable importance in respiratory research, to understand key disease pathways and for potential assessment of therapeutics for “bench-to-bedside” successes.

The translatability of the data collected requires continuous refinement of the models employed, as well as a holistic approach combining various techniques to provide a comprehensive assessment of the model phenotype.

Asthma and lung inflammation models: from mouse to Man

Join us at booth V13 to discuss pulmonary research applications and highlight our latest developments including:

• The vivoFlow – WBP (Whole Body Plethysmography) chamber with patented concentric pneumotach design for industry-leading noise cancellation and amber tinted chambers for easily acclimation.
• Our updated integrated Cigarette Smoking Robot, which is now field-serviceable with more automation and computer-control.

Academy of Surgical Research Annual Meeting
September 25-27, 2019
Clearwater, FL – USA

Join us at the ASR 2019  for a talk on how proper implantation technique is critical for quality signals in longitudinal studies using telemetry devices.

The presentation will be hosted by Sheila M. Alonzo, Senior Surgical Technician at Lovelace Respiratory Research Institute (LRRI) and will outline how to adjust surgical techniques for a better data quality.

Find out more about the presentation and the abstract.

In the last 5 years, FDA has actively characterized innovative ECG analysis methods for proarrhythmia assessments in clinical trials. ECG is a cornerstone of cardiac safety monitoring in toxicology and safety pharmacology with similarities between clinical and non-clinical evaluations.

A presentation was given by CitoxLab North America during SOT Annual Meeting & ToxExpo 2019, in Baltimore:

Recent Advances in ECG Analysis for ProArrhythmia Risk Assessment: The Need to Read Between the Line

May 17-22, 2019
Dallas,  Texas – USA
Booth #3619

The ATS Conference is an international platform for respiratory scientists, clinical researchers, medical practitioners and related health care professionals. It provides great networking and engagement opportunities with the emka & SCIREQ team.

Come and meet us at booth 3619 anytime during the exhibition hours. We’d love to learn about your current experimental needs and showcase our latest innovations.

ARE YOU INTERESTED IN PRECLINICAL NEONATE RESEARCH?

Join us for our annual breakfast event and learn more about preclinical neonate research. Guest speakers from the Morty Lab at Max Planck Institute for Heart and Lung Research in Bad Nauheim, Germany will present their current work on Bronchopulmonary Dysplasia (BDP).

The Morty Lab has two major research themes, both of which relate directly to adult and neonatal critical care medicine. They are currently exploring what causes premature infants to develop BPD when they are ventilated, and new ways to clinically manage this complex and important clinical problem encountered in the neonatal intensive care unit.

Dr. David Surate Solaligue and Dr. Claudio Nardiello from the Morty Lab will present their research in BPD where they successfully used the flexiVent and whole body plethysmography system to measure lung mechanics in BPD pups.
