Thermo Clinical Analyzer Provides Range of Laboratory Tests
A new mass spectrometry-based clinical analyzer has been introduced marking a potentially significant development in mass spectrometry evolution as a clinical technology. The analyzer brings together the ease of use of clinical analyzers with the selectivity and sensitivity of liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS). More...30 Jun 2017
Amine Biomarkers Identify Risk of Alzheimer's Disease
The identification of novel biomarkers associated with Alzheimer's disease (AD) could provide key biological insights and permit targeted preclinical prevention. Circulating metabolites associated with incident dementia and AD has been investigated using metabolomics. More...30 Jun 2017
Blood Test Detects Heart Attack Risk in Lupus Patients
Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (Lupus) is a genetically complex chronic relapsing immune mediated rheumatic disease characterized by inflammation that may affect different tissues, including the skin, joint linings, lungs, kidneys and other organs. More...29 Jun 2017
Exhaled Breath Test Discriminates COPD
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a type of obstructive lung disease characterized by long-term poor airflow. The main symptoms include shortness of breath and cough with sputum production. COPD is a progressive disease, meaning it typically worsens over time. More...28 Jun 2017
Lab Evidence Confirms Outbreak of Haff Disease
Haff disease is a syndrome of unexplained rhabdomyolysis following consumption of certain types of fish, and it is caused by an unidentified toxin. Rhabdomyolysis is a clinical syndrome caused by injury to skeletal muscle that results in release of muscle cell contents into the circulation. More...28 Jun 2017
Enhanced Immunoassay Validated for NGAL
The ectopic expression of Neutrophil Gelatinase-Associated Lipocalin (NGAL) has been reported in patients with various malignancies such as kidney, colorectal, gastric, pancreatobiliary, hepatic, breast, gynecological and hematologic cancers. More...28 Jun 2017
Cholesterol Test May Help Assess Heart Disease Risk
Researchers have developed a first-of-its-kind rapid assay for measuring effectiveness of a patient’s high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) in cleaning up arterial cholesterol. This HDL-C function test could improve risk assessment and diagnosis, and help provide and monitor more personalized treatments for cardiovascular disease (CVD) patients. More...27 Jun 2017
