BTP Viewed As Glomerular Filtration Rate Marker
Beta Trace Protein (BTP) is a promising marker of glomerular filtration rate (GFR) as it was reported to be increased in the serum of patients with renal disease. Some evidence suggests that it is more sensitive than creatinine (Cr) at detecting early changes in GFR. More...24 Apr 2018
Vitamin D Blood Test May Speed Pediatric Bipolar Diagnosis
Major mood disorders (MMD), specifically bipolar disorder (BD) and major depressive disorder (MDD), are some of the most prevalent albeit under-diagnosed health problems in children and adolescents. Worldwide among adolescents, MDD and BD are the first and fourth most disabling conditions, respectively. More...18 Apr 2018
Amyloid Blood Biomarker Detects Alzheimer's Disease
There is, as yet, no cure for Alzheimer's disease. It is often argued that progress in drug research has been hampered by the fact that the disease can only be diagnosed when it is too late for an effective intervention. Alzheimer's disease is thought to begin long before patients show typical symptoms like memory loss. More...17 Apr 2018
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. More...05 Apr 2018
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
