Low Testosterone Men Less Likely to Have Prostate Cancer
Prostate cancer affects more than 170,000 men each year in the USA, of who almost 30,000 die from the disease. While it is not yet known what causes the condition, a number of risk factors have been identified, such as age, ethnicity, and genetic mutations. More...24 Nov 2017
Fecal Zonulin Elevated in Crohn’s Disease and Smokers
Human zonulin is a protein that increases permeability in the epithelial layer of the small intestine by reversibly modulating the intercellular tight junctions. There is not sufficient information available about zonulin's participation in inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD). More...20 Nov 2017
Urine Particle Analyzer Compared with Standard Methods
Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are characterized by the presence of microbial pathogens within the urinary tract, and they represent one of the most common infections identified in both hospitalized and clinic patients. Most UTIs are easily treated without difficulty. More...20 Nov 2017
New Methods Developed to Diagnose TB and HIV
The bacteria responsible for tuberculosis (TB) can lurk in a person's lung tissue for decades before producing active, infectious TB disease and it is estimated that a third of the global population may have such dormant infections, with 5% to 10% progressing to active disease. Detecting TB is notoriously challenging. More...15 Nov 2017
High Thyroid Hormone Levels Associated with Arterial Disease
Atherosclerosis is the process of progressive thickening and hardening of the walls of arteries from fat deposits on their inner lining. Atherosclerosis progresses insidiously from a subclinical condition to the clinical onset of vascular events to death. More...15 Nov 2017
Potential Autoantigen Identified in Aggressive Kidney Disease
Fibrillary glomerulonephritis (FGN) is an aggressive kidney disease, and nearly half of patients become dependent on dialysis within several years of diagnosis. No unique clinical markers of FGN have been identified to help diagnose FGN, and current tests involve time-consuming analyses with light microscopy, immunofluorescence, and electron microscopy. More...13 Nov 2017
