Sexually transmitted infections (STIs) are on the rise, are often asymptomatic and can be passed on unknowingly. Many STIs can be cured, but if they are left untreated, they can have a serious impact on health and can be stigmatising. That is why testing is needed to detect them. We want to help raise awareness of prevention and provide easy, discreet access to STI screening. We are committed to ensuring that STIs are diagnosed, prevented from spreading and treated. On this World AIDS Day, we reaffirm our commitment. In Italy, we dedicated last month to the prevention of STIs through various initiatives as part of the #SHAREONLYLOVE campaign: ➡️ We reached over 1 million people in Italy with our educational content.  ➡️ STI screening packages were offered at reduced prices to ensure broad access to testing.   SYNLAB Italia #STIs #WorldAIDSDay #HIV #diagnostics

This month's Diagnostic Digest offers an overview of recent breakthroughs in lung cancer diagnostics and treatment. Refined liquid biopsy techniques allow doctors to detect tumour DNA through simple blood tests, improving early detection and helping to match patients with the most effective treatments. Moreover, improved imaging techniques help catch cancer at more treatable stages. Read more about these and other advancements offering hope for improved lung cancer outcomes.   #newsletter #diagnostics #lungcancer

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is increasing worldwide. Digital solutions promise to make healthcare efficient, equitable and sustainable. These tools have the potential to enhance diagnosis, treatment, and surveillance of infections, according to this insightful article published in Lancet Digital Health. Health data analytics can support research and antimicrobial prescribing, thus optimising antimicrobial use globally. Furthermore, AI and machine learning enhance real-time surveillance and prediction of AMR trends.

Last week marked the first deliveries of urgent blood samples by Apian drones between our labs at Guy's and St Thomas' NHS Foundation Trust. These drones can make the journey between sites in under 2 minutes, representing a dramatic decrease from the nearly half hour road journey and a significant positive impact for patients awaiting urgent treatment or surgery. Professor Dominic Harrington, Chief Scientific Officer, Synnovis, said: "Tens of thousands of essential patient samples are analysed by pathology laboratories across London each week. Reducing the time it takes to transport these samples means results are available more quickly to inform best possible patient care. We’re excited to be working with Apian on this pioneering project and look forward to seeing where this can go next.” This innovative solution will have a positive impact on both patient care and the environment, and we’re very proud to be supporting it. https://lnkd.in/deQffUCv

Antimicrobial resistance, also known as the silent pandemic, is a major global health threat. For the on-going World Antimicrobial Awareness Week, we interviewed two of our experts from Estonia: Paul Naaber and Helle Järv. Read more about their work in the microbiology lab, and how SYNLAB contributes to the identification, mitigation and surveillance of antimicrobial threats. Additionally, an important part of their work is educating both doctors and patients, from raising awareness to recommending optimal diagnostics and treatment: https://lnkd.in/eMyvrr8K SYNLAB Eesti #diagnostics #AMR #antimicrobialresistance

Meet our most eccentric customer: Vlad "Dracul" Tepes🧛 Vlad is happily prepping the winter supply for his very own blood bank, using his favourite liquid handler and scanning solution🩸 “With fewer people on the street and everyone wearing scarfs, food can be hard to come by and I need to take my precautions. That’s why I love my flowbot ONE and scanID for efficient and secure biobanking,” explains Vlad with a toothy smile. Luckily, one tube of AB Negative per day can sustain him until March, and he can stay safely inside his creepy castle. But if you do fancy a trip to Transylvania for Halloween, we’re sure he’ll love to entertain you regardlessly🦇 PS: Shout out to AltemisLab for the tubes. #halloween #labautomation #biobanking #flowbotONE #bloodbank
