New Gene Associated With Familial High Cholesterol
The gene that explains one quarter of all familial hypercholesterolemia with very high blood cholesterol has been revealed. Familial hypercholesterolemia is the most common genetic disorder leading to premature death, found in 1 in 200 people. More...26 May 2016
Elevated Chitotriosidase Differentially Diagnoses Lysosomal Storage Disorders
Plasma chitotriosidase originates from activated macrophages and is reported to be elevated in many Lysosomal Storage Disorders. Measurement of this enzyme’s activity has been an available tool for monitoring therapy of Gaucher disease. More...25 May 2016
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.
