Routine Lab Tests May Help Diagnose Cachexia in Cancer Patients
Researchers are developing a 5-point diagnostic tool for cachexia – an involuntary weight loss, characterized primarily by muscle wasting and metabolic changes, often associated with cancer and many chronic diseases. More...07 Dec 2016
Peptide Serum Markers Predict Type 1 Diabetes
Certain proteins in the blood of children can predict incipient type 1 diabetes, even before the first symptoms appear. Children who have a first-degree relative with type 1 diabetes and who consequently have an increased risk of developing the disease due to the familial predisposition. More...01 Dec 2016
Hypoglycemia in Hospitalized Patients Linked to Increased Mortality Risk
Spontaneous and insulin-related hypoglycemia is common among hospitalized patients with and without diabetes mellitus (DM). The definition of hypoglycemia in hospitalized patients is poorly defined and thus the true prevalence of hypoglycemia during hospitalization is variable. More...30 Nov 2016
Simple Saliva Test May Help Diagnose Kidney Disease
A preliminary study suggests that a dipstick test for salivary urea nitrogen could be accurate for diagnosing kidney disease and may help predict patients' risk of early death. The test would be especially helpful in developing countries where simple and inexpensive tools for diagnosing kidney disease are most needed. More...29 Nov 2016
Mild-to-Moderate Hypertriglyceridemia Leads to Acute Pancreatitis
Pancreatitis is very painful and it may lead to fatalities and until now, medical science has connected the risk of developing this illness to gallstone, a high intake of alcohol and very high concentrations of blood fats or triglycerides. More...23 Nov 2016
