Glycemic Variability Predicts Major Adverse Cardiac Event
Major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) are a composite endpoint frequently used in cardiovascular studies, comparable to the composite endpoint all-cause mortality. Despite widespread use of the term in clinical trials, the definitions of MACE can differ, which makes comparison of similar studies difficult. More...19 Mar 2019
Fecal Immunochemical Tests Performance Characterized for CRC
Many patients experience fear and anxiety before undergoing colonoscopy, which may result in negative experiences. Some doctors believe that having fecal immunochemical test (FIT) as an option might result in more people getting screened for colon cancer. More...14 Mar 2019
HbA1c Levels May Help Predict CF-Related Diabetes
Cystic fibrosis-related diabetes (CFRD) shares some features with both type 1 and type 2 diabetes. In people with cystic fibrosis (CF), the thick, sticky mucus that is characteristic of the disease causes scarring of the pancreas. More...14 Mar 2019
Blood Test Identifies Amino Acid Metabotypes Associated with Autism
Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) could benefit from new and improved diagnostic methods and the arrival of a newly commercialized blood test, along with other efforts headed toward a similar end goal, and could be nudging the field toward earlier detection and intervention. More...06 Mar 2019
Vitamin D Measured in Human Hair
Vitamin D deficiency has reached epidemic proportions worldwide, with over one billion people estimated to be affected. Deficiency has been linked with bone health, but it could also be a risk factor for depression, cardiovascular disease, inflammation, diabetes and cancer. More...05 Mar 2019
