Blood Test Plus Ultrasound Enhances Liver Cancer Detection
While the incidence of most cancers is decreasing in the USA the incidence of liver cancer has increased by 2.7% a year over the last 10 years, which is estimated at about 40,700 new cases of liver cancer that will be diagnosed in the USA in 2018. More...20 Feb 2018

Blood Test Helps Identify CV Patients Most at Risk
A new blood test could provide a clue as to why some patients are at higher risk of cardiovascular disease risk after suffering a heart attack, which may help scientists to identify new targets for reducing the risk and eventually lead to more effective treatments. More...19 Feb 2018


Metabolite Biomarkers of Chronic Typhoid Carriage Detected
Detecting chronic carriers of typhoid is of public health relevance in areas where enteric fever is endemic, but there are no routinely used methods for prospectively identifying those carrying Salmonella in their gallbladder. More...12 Feb 2018


Glycan-Attaching Enzyme Defines Colon Cancer
An enzyme that is absent in healthy colon tissue but abundant in colon cancer cells and this enzyme appears to drive the conversion of normal colon tissue into cancer by attaching sugar molecules, or glycans, to certain proteins in the cell. More...08 Feb 2018
