Microfluidic Chip Developed For Ultrasensitive Glucose Detection
Highly sensitive and rapid detection of blood glucose is a diagnostic necessity in medicine as, for instance, lack of insulin and too much blood sugar are two main causes of diabetes, both of which can be detected by measuring blood glucose. More...18 May 2016
Infrared Technology Used To Screen For Minimally Invasive Colitis
Inflammatory bowel diseases, which include ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease, involve chronic inflammation of all or part of the digestive tract and can lead to life-threatening complications such as colorectal cancer. More...18 May 2016
Breath Test May Help Diagnose Irritable Bowel Syndrome
There is currently no specific diagnostic & monitoring test for irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and no potentially reliable biomarkers have been identified until now. Using a novel metabolomic approach, researchers have identified a combination of substances in the breath that, when measured together, accurately distinguished IBS patients from people without the condition.

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. More...
