Prognostic Tool Stratifies Risk of Parathyroid Carcinoma
Researchers have identified key predictors of parathyroid cancer (PTC) recurrence after surgery, and developed a 3-point scoring system to more reliably identify patients at the highest risk of recurrence. Consequently, the tool can also help determine optimal postoperative strategy. More...09 May 2017
Smart Pills Offer Diagnostic Tool for Gut Disorders
Researchers have completed successful phase-one human clinical trials of ingestible capsules (the size of a vitamin pill) that have potential to revolutionize diagnosis and prevention of gastrointestinal (GI) disorders and diseases. More...08 May 2017
Cardiac Troponin Assay Compared with Existing Tests
Efficient rule-out of acute myocardial infarction (MI) in patients presenting with symptoms of cardiac ischemia facilitates early disposition of the patient to outpatient care, and helps to relieve the increasing crowding of the emergency departments (ED) in most hospitals. More...02 May 2017
