Various Factors Influence Cardiac Troponin Concentrations
Cardiovascular diseases are the second most common cause of death in Japan, and the number of new cases is continuously growing. Among the cardiovascular diseases, one-third is attributed to ischemic heart diseases including acute myocardial infarction (AMI). More...14 Sep 2017
Febrile Rhabdomyolysis Diagnosed in West African Refugees
Rhabdomyolysis is a complex medical condition involving the rapid breakdown of damaged skeletal muscle. The severity of the illness ranges from asymptomatic elevations of serum creatine phosphokinase (CPK) to life-threatening diseases such as cardiac arrhythmia, acute renal failure, and even death. More...13 Sep 2017
CSF Pleocytosis Level Investigated as Diagnostic Predictor
Migration of leukocytes to the cerebrospinal fluid is a cardinal symptom of an infectious condition affecting the meninges or the cerebral parenchyma. Bacterial and viral meningitis cannot reliably be differentiated clinically and requires lumbar puncture to analyze the cerebrospinal fluid. More...13 Sep 2017
World’s First Portable Fingerprint Drug Test Launched
The world’s first portable fingerprint-based drug screening system has been launched and is available now. The revolutionary system is hygienic and easy-to-use, collecting fingerprint samples in just five seconds and delivering simultaneous screening results in less than ten minutes for the four main drug groups: cocaine, opiates, cannabis and amphetamines. More...13 Sep 2017
Diabetes Prevalence Increased in Hospitalized Patients
The prevalence of diabetes is increasing in Germany and at present, the metabolic disease affects almost one in ten individuals. It is known that people with diabetes are found more often among hospitalized or intensive care units (ICU) patients than among the general population. More...08 Sep 2017
Fecal Immunochemical Test Detects Cancer and Polyps
The most commonly used noninvasive test for colorectal cancer (CRC) screening has been the guaiac fecal occult blood test (gFOBT). The fecal immunochemical test (FIT) detects CRC and colorectal polyps with higher levels of sensitivity than the gFOBT, and may be more acceptable to patients. More...30 Aug 2017
