Potential Biomarkers of AMD Identified in Human Plasma
Patients with even an early stage of age-related macular degeneration (AMD) carry signs of the disease in their blood that may be detected through special laboratory tests, according to a new study. The findings may lead to earlier diagnoses, better prognostic information, and ultimately more precise treatments for earlier stages of AMD, the leading cause of blindness in people over age 50 in developed countries.

Cholesterol Diagnosis Related to Breast Cancer Risk
Breast cancer is a malignancy that begins when cells grow abnormally in breast tissue. Although men can also develop breast cancer, it is much more common in women. Among women around the globe, breast cancer is the most common cancer and the fifth most common cause of cancer death. In 2012, nearly 1.7 million new cases, a quarter of all new cancer cases in women, were diagnosed worldwide. More...22 Sep 2017
Mucin Concentration Used As Bronchitis Biomarker
Chronic bronchitis is characterized by recurring bouts of airway inflammation accompanied by a persistent cough and phlegm production. It is different from acute bronchitis, which typically develops after a cold or influenza and only lasts a few weeks. More...22 Sep 2017
Various Factors Influence Cardiac Troponin Concentrations
Cardiovascular diseases are the second most common cause of death in Japan, and the number of new cases is continuously growing. Among the cardiovascular diseases, one-third is attributed to ischemic heart diseases including acute myocardial infarction (AMI). More...14 Sep 2017
Febrile Rhabdomyolysis Diagnosed in West African Refugees
Rhabdomyolysis is a complex medical condition involving the rapid breakdown of damaged skeletal muscle. The severity of the illness ranges from asymptomatic elevations of serum creatine phosphokinase (CPK) to life-threatening diseases such as cardiac arrhythmia, acute renal failure, and even death.
