Circassia Group PLC - Oxford, England-based medical device focused on point-of-care asthma diagnosis and management - Posts higher revenue in the first four months of 2022 than Circassia management had expected. Clinical revenue is up 17% compared to the same period in 2021. Research revenue also is slightly up, firm adds. Lockdowns may affect the business in China, but trading so far is strong with growth of over 23% there compared to a year ago.
