MJS BioLynx Well Being

"Silent Firefighters": An Examination and Evaluation of Peer Support Sessions for Medical Laboratory Professionals in Canada

By Rosina E. Mete, Department of Behavioural Sciences, Yorkville University, Fredericton, Canada, and Brandon Djukic and Christine Nielsen Research Department, CSMLS, Hamilton, Canada.

The CSMLS Peer Support Project was a pilot for medical laboratory professionals in Canada to obtain information regarding the current state of medical laboratory professionals’ mental health, well-being and burnout. CSMLS learned what is contributing to stress at work, coping strategies and barriers to accessing support or help for their mental health.

Hycult Biotech – Accelerate Your Gastroenterology Research

Hycult has introduced a new ELISA kit and a new Antibody for your gastroenterology research!

Human Transgelin ELISA
This kit provides a non-invasive method to assess the severity of gut damage caused by acute intestinal ischemia. It specifically detects disruptions in smooth muscle cells. When combined with I-FABP, a biomarker for epithelial gut damage, this kit offers an effective way to localize and evaluate intestinal injury.

Villin-1 Antibody
This antibody is adapted for a variety of laboratory techniques, including immunohistochemistry (IHC), ELISA, and Western blot applications. It makes it an invaluable tool for researchers exploring Villin-1’s role in gastroenterology and kidney diseases.
