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
Specific Biomarker Assessed for Cartilage Degradation
Osteoarthritis (OA) is one of the most common forms of musculoskeletal disorders and one of the major causes of pain and disability in the adult population. Viscosupplementation is a symptomatic treatment of the knee osteoarthritis based on the intra-articular injection of hyaluronic acid (IAHA). More...21 Jun 2017
Pre-Op Cholesterol Level Predicts RCC Patients Survival
Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) is the most frequently diagnosed renal malignancy. The constant advances of modern imaging technologies and the percentage of incidentally detected renal tumors has constantly increased during the last couple of decades, and a good percentage of patients are still diagnosed with metastatic renal cell carcinoma (mRCC). More...21 Jun 2017
POC Analyzer Compared with HPLC Method
The measurement of the glycated fraction of hemoglobin (HbA1c) has been recommended to diagnose diabetes, in addition to monitoring glycemic control. HbA1c reflects long-term glycemic control over the preceding two to three months as opposed to glycemic control at a single point in time. More...20 Jun 2017
Blood Test Offers Improved Breast Cancer Detection
Breast cancer is predicted to be the second leading cause of cancer deaths in the USA women. Approximately 232,000 cases of invasive breast cancer and 60,000 cases of ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) are diagnosed and 40,000 deaths occur annually. More...16 Jun 2017
Cardiac Troponin Test Uses Single Molecule Counting Technology
Coronary artery disease (CAD) is the leading cause of death worldwide and a significant proportion of ambulatory health care visits are for evaluation of patients with suspected CAD, with an estimated 1.5% of the population presenting with chest pain every year. More...13 Jun 2017
