Novel POC Troponin Assay Rules Out Acute MI
More than seven billion diagnostic tests are run in the USA each year to help physicians make accurate, timely decisions about a person's medical treatment. Emergency department (ED) investigations of patients with suspected acute myocardial infarction (AMI) are time consuming, partly because of the turnaround time of laboratory tests. More...05 Nov 2018
Chronic Inflammation Linked to Risk for Alzheimer's Disease
While it has been widely shown that possessing the apolipoprotein E4 (ApoE4) gene is the major genetic risk factor of Alzheimer's disease (AD), not all ApoE4 carriers develop AD. It is likely that a complex interaction of genetic vulnerabilities with environmental risk factors lead to AD and identifying such factors could be beneficial for the prevention of AD.

Noninvasive Blood Glucose Test Evaluated for Accuracy
For those living with diabetes, monitoring blood glucose accurately is necessary to prevent diabetes-related complications such as heart attacks, blindness and coma. Optical monitoring of blood glucose levels for non-invasive diagnosis is growing. More...23 Oct 2018
Kidney Function Decline Linked with Inflammatory Marker Levels
Tumor necrosis factor receptor-1 (TNFR-1), which plays a causative role in endothelial cell dysfunction and inflammation, is expressed on the cell surface in glomerular and peritubular capillary endothelium of the kidneys. More...15 Oct 2018
Kidney Disease Biomarker May Indicate Lung Problems
Chronic lower respiratory diseases (CLRD) are the fourth leading cause-of-death and a major source of health care costs. CLRD includes chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), chronic bronchitis, emphysema, and asthma, airflow limitation as a physiologic correlate, and acute exacerbations as the major clinical manifestation. More...09 Oct 2018
Blood Tests Differentiate Myocardial Injury from Infarction
Myocardial infarction represents the death of myocardial cells and is characterized by acute myocardial ischemia. Nonischemic myocardial injury by comparison is often associated with other conditions such as renal failure or heart conditions like myocarditis. More...03 Oct 2018
