Serum Pepsinogen Validated for Atrophic Gastritis Diagnosis
Atrophic gastritis (AG) and intestinal metaplasia (IM) are well-recognized as high-risk conditions for developing gastric cancer (GC), and both have been identified as the precancerous lesions, but the clinical symptoms of AG are not specific. More...01 Aug 2017


Immunoassay Systems Compared for Trisomy Screenings
The biochemical serum markers free β-human chorionic gonadotropin (hCGβ) and pregnancy associated plasma protein A (PAPP-A) are used in screening for trisomy 21 (T21), trisomy 18 (T18), and trisomy 13 (T13) during the first trimester. More...25 Jul 2017
Novel Biomarker Identifies Early Clinical CV Disease
Coronary artery disease (CAD) is one of the leading causes of morbidity and mortality worldwide, and the economic, social, and costs associated with treating CAD are very high. The severity of coronary artery lesions has been proven to be associated with the risk of future cardiovascular events. More...19 Jul 2017


Ultra-Early Inflammatory Biomarker Identified for TBI
Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is set to become the leading cause of neurological disability across all age groups. Currently, no reliable biomarkers exist to help diagnose the severity of TBI to identify patients who are at risk of developing secondary injuries. More...18 Jul 2017

MALDI-TOF-MS Analysis Identifies Ovarian Cancer Patterns
Ovarian cancer (OC) is one of the leading causes of death among all gynecological malignancies and as there are no early specific symptoms, OC is diagnosed in advanced clinical stages in more than 70% cases when, despite appropriate treatment, five-year survival rate drops to 30%.
