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
High Blood Sugar During Pregnancy Increases Risk of Diabetes
Mothers with elevated blood glucose during pregnancy, even if not high enough to meet the traditional definition of gestational diabetes, were significantly more likely to have developed type 2 diabetes a decade after pregnancy than their counterparts without high blood glucose. More...02 Oct 2018
Ovarian Cancer Biomarker Predicts Therapy Response
Despite months of aggressive treatment involving surgery and chemotherapy, about 85% of women with high-grade widespread ovarian cancer will have a recurrence of their disease. This leads to further treatment, but never to a cure. About 15% of patients, however, do not have a recurrence and most of those women remain disease free for years. More...01 Oct 2018
Nano-LCMS Differentiates Liver Diseases
Non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) is among the leading causes of liver disease worldwide. It is increasingly recognized that the phenotype of NASH may involve a number of different pathways, of which each could become important therapeutic targets. More...24 Sep 2018
High-Sensitivity Cardiac Troponin I Assay Validated
Myocardial infarction (MI), commonly known as a heart attack occurs when blood flow decreases or stops to a part of the heart, causing damage to the heart muscle. The most common symptom is chest pain or discomfort which may travel into the shoulder, arm, back, neck, or jaw. More...20 Sep 2018
Novel Biomarkers Predict CV Events in Type 2 Diabetes
Cardiovascular disease generally refers to conditions that involve narrowed or blocked blood vessels that can lead to a heart attack, chest pain (angina) or stroke. Cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk prediction represents an increasing clinical challenge in the treatment of diabetes. More...20 Sep 2018
Tumor Markers Associated with H. Pylori Infection
Helicobacter pylori infection is a major cause of several cancers such as gastric, pancreatic and lung. The relationship between H. pylori and tumor markers continues to remain unclear. As one of the leading causes of morbidity and mortality globally, cancer represents a major detrimental public health problem worldwide. More...19 Sep 2018
