CSF Test Developed for Uncommon Brain Diseases
Scientific studies have linked the abnormal deposition of tau in the brain to at least 25 different neurodegenerative diseases. However, to accurately diagnose these diseases, brain tissue often must be analyzed after the patient has died. More...30 Oct 2019
Fluorimetric Assay Quantifies Galactocerebrosidase Activity in Dried Blood Spots
The lysosomal enzyme galactocerebrosidase hydrolyzes glycosidic bonds of several glycosphingolipids, including galactose from galactosylsphingosine (psychosine), and is essential to prevent the toxic accumulation of psychosine in the body. More...29 Oct 2019
Metabolic Classification of Thyroid Nodules Uses MS Imaging
Fine-needle aspiration (FNA) biopsy is a well-established technique for diagnosis of suspicious thyroid lesions. However, histologic discrimination between malignant and benign thyroid nodules from FNA can be challenging. More...26 Oct 2019
Pre-Analytical Protocols Compared for Serotonin Quantification
Serotonin (5-hydroxytryptamine) is an important neurotransmitter and neuromodulator, which affects many neurophysiological processes, mood and cognition, regulates motility and sensibility in the bowel, and has an essential role in regulating blood pressure. More...24 Oct 2019
Presepsin Concentrations Correlate with Kidney Function Decline
Sepsis is an important public health problem with more than 750,000 patients reported yearly in the USA with similar figures in Europe. Sepsis continues to be a challenge for practitioners, as sepsis mortality rates are still high despite new antimicrobial and resuscitation agents. More...24 Oct 2019
