Thanks for highlighting our work, @atranscendedman.bsky.social!

Will share more soon on how this work came about (and how we had to challenge many conventions, such as 'there are no viral particles in blood'). Done in partnership with @gmboland.bsky.social. Extra thanks to @adarshc.bsky.social

Boston study tested 168 patient samples using a microfluidic chip that detects intact SARS-CoV-2 particles at just 3 copies/ml.

This tool differentiates active infection from RNA remnants, aiding diagnosis and monitoring.

Ultrasensitive detection of intact SARS-CoV-2 particles in complex biofluids using microfluidic affinity capture

Microfluidics can be used to isolate intact viral particles from a variety of biofluids potentially informing infectivity.

"We have to make harder choices for our Black patients than for our white patients, because the pulse oximeters just are not as reliable in our Black patients" says @iwashyna.bsky.social

www.statnews.com/2024/12/30/f...

Fixing pulse oximeters requires federal might and possible legal action, researchers say

The devices remain unreliable in darker skinned people. Researchers say more guidance, enforcement and even legal action may be needed to spur improvement.
