Calprotectin Fecal Assay Adapted for Serum Samples
Calprotectin is a calcium-binding protein that can be measured in serum, plasma, and feces. Increased serum and plasma calprotectin concentrations have been found in chronic inflammatory rheumatic disorders. An analytical and clinical evaluation of the DiaSorin Liaison® fecal Calprotectin assay using LIAISON® XL was performed. More...16 Feb 2022
Serum Glucose Identifies Hospitalized Stroke Patients at Greatest Risk for Recurrence
Presence of hyperglycemia at hospital admission for stroke was linked with elevated risk for subsequent stroke by 90 days, an increase that dual antiplatelet therapy seemingly failed to curtail. More...14 Feb 2022
Simpler and Reliable ALS Diagnosis Enabled With Blood Tests
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is an adult onset fatal neurodegenerative syndrome characterized by the insidious onset of progressive motor symptoms and signs secondary to the loss of upper and lower motor neurons and their tracts. More...08 Feb 2022
Genetic Clues Link Lipoprotein A to Prostate Cancer Risk
Some factors associated with higher risk of prostate cancer (PCa) cannot be modified, such as older age and being of African descent. Meanwhile, other risk factors for the aggressive form of the disease, such as smoking and obesity, can potentially be modified. More...07 Feb 2022
New, Enzyme-Free Glucose Monitoring Sensor Solution Could Find Applications in Range of POC Diagnostics
Researchers have developed a new glucose sensor that is cheaper and more robust than current systems, opening up the possibility of taking the underlying applied methodology to a vast range of similar point-of-care diagnostics. More...03 Feb 2022
