Blood Test Developed for Parkinson’s Disease
Currently no clinical biomarker test exists for Parkinson's and the only means of diagnosis is a neurological examination and by the time patients develop symptoms and undergo the examination, large numbers of vital brain cells have already been destroyed. More...12 May 2016
New Approach Improves Identification of Women at High Risk of Preeclampsia
A new meta-analysis examining 92 cohort studies involving over 25 million pregnancies has provided an unprecedented understanding of risk factors for preeclampsia—some risk factors being strong enough to warrant that a pregnant woman starts on prophylactic treatment with acetylsalicylic acid (ASA) when she has only one.

Highly Sensitive Detection Method Monitors HDL Kinetics
High-density lipoprotein (HDL) is often referred to as good cholesterol, and high levels of HDL are associated with lower risk of cardiovascular disease, but many clinical outcome trials for drugs that raise HDL levels have failed to show significant benefits for trial participants.

Simple Blood Test Can Detect Injury and Mild Concussion
A simple blood has detected evidence of concussions in patients up to seven days after their injury, which could greatly expand the window for diagnosing concussions, especially in patients who experience a delayed onset of symptoms. More...25 Apr 2016
Novel Method Detects Bacterial Infection in Preterm Infants
A new criterion has been proposed for diagnosis of bacterial infection in preterm infants and using this method could lead to early diagnosis and treatment for bacterial infection and improve the prognosis for preterm infants. More...12 Apr 2016
