Faster than a PCR test: dogs detect Covid in under a second. Study in London used six enthusiastic dogs in a double-blind trial
Faster than PCR and more accurate than lateral flow tests, the latest weapons against Covid-19 have four legs and a wet nose. A study published on Monday found that people who are infected with coronavirus give off a distinct odour, which these highly trained dogs can detect with pinpoint precision.

The training takes place in a Bio Detection training room at Medical Detection Dogs, which is based in Milton Keynes. The dogs are presented with three mounted samples and either sit or stand for an extended period once they detect a sample containing tracaes of virus.

Webb’s golden mirror wings open one last time on Earth
Webb’s golden mirror wings open one last time on Earth.
The world’s most powerful space science telescope has opened its primary mirror for the last time on Earth.
As part of the international James Webb Space Telescope’s final tests, the 6.5 meter (21 feet 4 inch) mirror was commanded to fully expand and lock itself into place, just like it would in space. The conclusion of this test represents the team’s final checkpoint in a long series of tests designed to ensure Webb’s 18 hexagonal mirrors are prepared for a long journey in space, and a life of profound discovery. After this, all of Webb’s many movable parts will have confirmed in testing that they can perform their intended operations after being exposed to the expected launch environment.
Making the testing conditions close to what Webb will experience in space helps to ensure the observatory is fully prepared for its science mission one million miles away from Earth.
Commands to unlatch and deploy the side panels of the mirror were relayed from Webb’s testing control room at Northrop Grumman, in Redondo Beach, California. The software instructions sent, and the mechanisms that operated are the same as those used in space. Special gravity offsetting equipment was attached to Webb to simulate the zero-gravity environment in which its complex mechanisms will operate. All of the final thermal blanketing and innovative shielding designed to protect its mirrors and instruments from interference were in place during testing.Credit: ESA / eyevine

A smart ring that generates continuous temperature data may predict the onset of covid even in cases when infection is not suspected. To conduct the study, the researchers used the Oura Ring, a wearable sensor made by the Finnish startup Oura, which pairs to a mobile app. The device may be a better illness indicator than a thermometer.And it could lead to earlier isolation and testing, curbing the spread of infectious diseases, according to a preliminary study led by the University of California at San Francisco and San Diego.An analysis of data from 50 people previously infected with coronavirus published online in the peer-reviewed journal Scientific Reports on Dec. 14, 2020, found that data obtained from the commercially available smart ring accurately identified higher temperatures in people with symptoms of covid.While it is not known how effectively the smart ring can detect asymptomatic sufferers, the authors reported that for 38 of the 50 participants, fever was identified when symptoms were unreported or even unnoticed.The researchers analysed weeks of temperature data to determine typical ranges for each of the 50 participants.
OPS:This graph shows how how temperature changes over time and comparing it to heart rate, heart rate variability and respiration rate.
Researchers have determined that while most fever episodes correspond to changes in other variables too, it's not a clean match. Sometimes the heart rate is up, but not the temperature, and vice versa. More variables gives a clearer picture, allowing detection to be precise across disease manifestations.

Labrador trained to detect diabetic attacks, Kent, Britain - 08 Sep 2008

Noah Beeby-Brown and his dog Bianca
Labrador Trained To Detect Diabetic Attacks
LABRADOR TRAINED TO DETECT DIABETIC ATTACKS
Young Noah Beeby Brown may be unfortunate enough to suffer from Type 1 diabetes, but he is lucky to have a guardian angel by his side at all times, albeit an angel with black fur, a wagging tail and a wet nose.
Bianca, a black Labrador-retriever cross, has been trained to detect whenever Noah, 4, has a hypoglycaemic attack, or hypo, and alert his parents so he can be given a life-saving gel to raise his dangerously low blood sugar levels.
Indeed, eight weeks ago this was exactly what happened when the young dog bounded into Noah's parents room in the middle of the night, whining and nuzzling at the couple, until they entered their son's room to find him suffering from a hypo, which they immediately remedied.
Due to the errant nature of Noah's diabetes and the unpredictable behaviour of his insulin levels, his parents used to have to test their son's blood four times a night and constantly during the day, to avoid the possibility of their son falling into a coma and risking death.
However, Noah's mother Sam discovered in Australia that dogs were being trained to detect illnesses in humans. She got into contact with Claire Guest, a dog psychologist, who trained Bianca to detect the attacks by using pieces of cloth touched by Noah during his hypos, then trained her to alert the boy's parents.
Experts are still baffled as to how Bianca manages to detect the attacks. While hyperglycaemic attacks (excessively high blood sugar levels) emit a smell of pear drops, hypoglycaemic attacks (low blood sugar levels) do not appear to produce any specific smell.
Bianca, donated to the family by the Irish Guide Dogs, has only been trained for the last two months, so is not yet perfect in her detection...

Labrador Trained To Detect Diabetic Attacks
LABRADOR TRAINED TO DETECT DIABETIC ATTACKS
Young Noah Beeby Brown may be unfortunate enough to suffer from Type 1 diabetes, but he is lucky to have a guardian angel by his side at all times, albeit an angel with black fur, a wagging tail and a wet nose.
Bianca, a black Labrador-retriever cross, has been trained to detect whenever Noah, 4, has a hypoglycaemic attack, or hypo, and alert his parents so he can be given a life-saving gel to raise his dangerously low blood sugar levels.
