Glycosylated Hemoglobin Predicts Coronary Artery Disease in Non‐Diabetic Patients
Coronary artery disease (CAD) is one of the leading causes of morbidity and mortality worldwide. CAD remains as a leading reason for heart failure causing disability and not only outcomes in the need for life‐long therapies, but also causes sudden death with acute myocardial infarction.

Breath Test Developed for Head and Neck Cancer Diagnosis
Breath testing is a noninvasive way to help doctors diagnose a number of conditions. By analyzing the breath, the physicians can measure the amount of certain gases, allowing doctors to arrive at a diagnosis quickly and accurately. More...20 Oct 2020
Glycated Albumin Levels in Tears Allow Noninvasive Glucose Testing
The glucose test helps determine if a person’s glucose level is too high or too low, which can indicate the presence of Type 2 diabetes and other medical conditions. The two most common types of glucose testing are the fasting plasma glucose test and the random plasma glucose test. More...20 Oct 2020
Galectin-3 Predicts Cardiovascular Disease Risk in Diabetic Patients
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is a general term for conditions affecting the heart or blood vessels. It's usually associated with a build-up of fatty deposits inside the arteries (atherosclerosis) and an increased risk of blood clots. Type 2 diabetes (T2D) can lead to early and severe atherosclerosis. More...19 Oct 2020
Glycated Hemoglobin Screening Reveals Undiagnosed Diabetes
Type 2 diabetes (T2D), formerly known as adult-onset diabetes, is a form of diabetes that is characterized by high blood sugar, insulin resistance, and relative lack of insulin. Common symptoms include increased thirst, frequent urination, and unexplained weight loss. More...15 Oct 2020
Urine Osmolality Measurement Evaluated on Automated Analyzer
Urinalysis is a convenient and non‐invasive screening tool for use in both an outpatient and inpatient setting. Automated flow cytometry‐based urine analyzer is increasingly being used to identify and enumerate cells and particles in urine specimens. It measures electrical conductivity which could be transformed to osmolality. More...06 Oct 2020
