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
Test Differentiates Lyme Disease from Similar Condition
Lyme disease is the most commonly reported vector-borne illness in the USA, and current laboratory tests are not sensitive enough to detect infection with high accuracy in the first few weeks of illness. In 2015, 95% of confirmed Lyme disease cases were reported from 14 US states. More...29 Aug 2017
Spectroscopy Reveals Fingerprints for Diabetes Progression
Researchers report a method to study biochemical changes that occur in the pancreas during the development of diabetes. Based on vibrational microspectroscopic technology, the method can be used to extract biochemical profiles containing information about disease progression. This could facilitate improved understanding of key mechanistic processes in diabetes development and manifestation, and could be used to develop better prognostic, diagnostic, and monitoring tools.

Capillary Blood Analysis Validated for POC System
The gold standard samples for blood gas analysis are arterial blood collected from arterial catheter or by arterial puncture, but the proper sampling of arterial blood is difficult, painful, and sometimes risky to obtain in patient in transport. More...22 Aug 2017
Immunoassay Biomarkers Evaluated for Preeclampsia Diagnosis
Preeclampsia is one of the leading hypertensive disorders in pregnant women worldwide and it is estimated to cause more than 60,000 deaths per year. Preeclampsia is induced by placental and maternal vascular dysfunction, which affects both maternal and neonatal health. More...17 Aug 2017
