Optical Sensor to Detect Vitamin B12 Deficiency
Researchers have developed the first optical sensor that can detect vitamin B12 in diluted human blood – and a first step towards a low-cost, portable, broadscale B12 deficiency test that would overcome limitations of current methods for monitoring levels in high-risk individuals and populations.

Rapid Blood Test Can Rule Out Serious Childhood Infections
The care for acutely ill children has traditionally been a primary care responsibility, but increasing numbers are being seen in secondary care, but a simple decision rule and a finger prick to test blood, general practitioners can now detect serious infections in children very quickly.

Unnecessary Endoscopies Could Be Avoided with Fecal Blood Test
The majority of primary care patients referred for bowel endoscopy do not have significant colorectal disease (SCD), and are unnecessarily exposed to a small but realistic risk of severe endoscopy-associated complications. More...14 Oct 2016
Quick Test Detects Inflammation in Diabetic Patients
A new kit has been developed that will allow doctors to find out within minutes if diabetic patients are suffering from inflammation. Current procedures require patients to wait for several hours for the results obtained from the conventional full blood count test. More...12 Oct 2016
Serum Metabolites Associated with Traumatic Brain Injury Severity
Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a major cause of death and disability worldwide, especially in children and young adults and is an example of a medical condition where there are still major deficits in diagnostics and outcome prediction. More...11 Oct 2016
Low-Cost Sensor Developed for Cystic Fibrosis Diagnosis and Monitoring
Biomaterials scientists have developed an inexpensive method for detecting salt concentrations in sweat or other bodily fluids with a fluorescent sensor derived from citric acid molecules. The sensor is highly sensitive and highly selective for chloride, the key diagnostic marker in cystic fibrosis (CF). More...04 Oct 2016
