Sensors Developed to Detect Disease Markers in Breath
A small, thin square of an organic plastic that can detect disease markers in breath or toxins in a building's air could soon be the basis of portable, disposable sensor devices. A device that monitors ammonia in breath, a sign of kidney failure, has been demonstrated. More...30 May 2017
Simple Blood Tests Improve Hypertension Treatment
African and African American hypertensives tend to retain salt and water, with lower levels of plasma renin and more resistant hypertension. Two simple blood tests were able to drastically improve treatment for resistant hypertension across three sites in Nigeria, Kenya and South Africa. More...17 May 2017
BK Virus Biomarkers Determined by Urine Samples
Transplants are lifesaving treatments for patients with end-stage kidney disease but around 25% fail within five years, either because the body begins to reject the new organ, or because a viral infection has taken hold of the kidney. More...11 May 2017
New Test May Predict Gestational Diabetes Better
Gestational diabetes is a type of diabetes that occurs during a woman's pregnancy, increasing the mother's risk of delivering a large-for-gestational-age baby, which can lead to pre-term birth, fetal injury, perinatal mortality and cesarean delivery. More...09 May 2017
Prognostic Tool Stratifies Risk of Parathyroid Carcinoma
Researchers have identified key predictors of parathyroid cancer (PTC) recurrence after surgery, and developed a 3-point scoring system to more reliably identify patients at the highest risk of recurrence. Consequently, the tool can also help determine optimal postoperative strategy. More...09 May 2017
Smart Pills Offer Diagnostic Tool for Gut Disorders
Researchers have completed successful phase-one human clinical trials of ingestible capsules (the size of a vitamin pill) that have potential to revolutionize diagnosis and prevention of gastrointestinal (GI) disorders and diseases. More...08 May 2017
