Liquid Biopsy Can Rule Out Early-Stage Lung Cancer
Lung nodules are a diagnostic challenge with an estimated yearly incidence of 1.6 million in the USA. The majority of these patients have benign lung nodules; however, there are significant costs, morbidity and mortality associated with the invasive biopsies needed to determine which nodules are cancerous.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome Linked to Thyroid Levels
Chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) is a common disease marked by lengthy spells of weakness, fatigue and depression. Its diagnosis is predominantly based on symptoms and on ruling out any underlying medical condition, rather than on laboratory tests and physical examination. More...04 Apr 2018
CKD May Occur Before Diabetes Diagnosis
Doctors have long known that patients with diabetes are at risk for kidney disease, and while chronic kidney disease (CKD) is regularly evaluated among patients with diabetes, kidney function may be significantly impaired before diabetes is diagnosed. More...28 Mar 2018
New Heart Attack Test Better Informs Underlying Condition
The serum troponin assay is the biochemical gold standard for detecting myocardial infarction (MI). A major diagnostic issue is that some believe troponin levels can rise with reversible injury, in the absence of radiologically detectable infarct. More...27 Mar 2018
Alzheimer Disease CSF Biomarker Used in Clinical Setting
Analysis of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) is one of the key tools for the state-of-the-art differential diagnosis of dementias. Dementia due to Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is characterized by elevated CSF levels of total Tau (tTau) and phospho-181-Tau (pTau) and low CSF amyloid-β42 (Aβ42). More...27 Mar 2018
