Zinc Isotope Test Helps Detect Early Breast Cancer
It may be possible to detect the early signs of breast cancer with a test that measures changes in zinc isotopes, as measurable changes in zinc isotope composition can be detected in breast tissue and could be used as a biomarker for early breast cancer. More...23 Dec 2014
Simple Breath Test Aids Type 1 Diabetes Early Diagnosis
A chemical marker has been identified for type 1 diabetes in the breath of children who are unaware they have the condition until they develop diabetic ketoacidosis, a potentially life-threatening complication and a breath test could pave the way to allow early diagnosis. More...08 Dec 2014
Improved Assay Determines d-Xylose in Urine and Serum
A simple method for the evaluation of intestinal lactase activity in vivo has been developed and optimized in humans with potential advantages over current tests for the noninvasive diagnosis of lactase deficiency or hypolactasia. More...03 Dec 2014
Cholesterol Levels in Later Life Depend in Part on Apolipoprotein E Allele Status
Variations in the APOE gene modify the rise and fall of serum cholesterol levels from midlife to late life, and in order to efficiently modify cholesterol through the life span, it is important that the physician takes into account the patient's APOE allele status. More...01 Dec 2014
