RSV Plus Human Metapneumovirus Assay Approved
Viral infections are the most frequent causes of morbidity and mortality due to respiratory dysfunction worldwide, especially in children under five years of age. Several studies have reported the association of Human Metapneumovirus (hMPV) and Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) with acute respiratory infection. More...09 Nov 2017
Droplet Digital PCR Detects Schistosomiasis DNA in Samples
Schistosoma japonicum is the only human blood fluke that occurs in China and Philippines and also in Sri Lanka. It is the cause of schistosomiasis japonica, a disease that still remains a significant health problem especially in lake and marshland regions. More...08 Nov 2017
Study Pinpoints Biomarker Signature of MS
Researchers have identified unique dysregulated microRNAs (miRNAs) from exosomes in the blood of Multiple Sclerosis (MS) patients. The findings could lead to development of a simple diagnostic blood test for this debilitating chronic neurologic disease. More...07 Nov 2017
Genetics Helps Determine Warfarin Dose for Joint Surgery
A five-year study – the Genetics Informatics Trial of Warfarin to Prevent Deep Venous Thrombosis (GIFT) – finds that genetic testing can help determine the safest dose of the blood thinner warfarin, with fewer side effects, for patients undergoing joint replacement surgery. More...06 Nov 2017
Single-Cell Diagnostics Advocated for Breast Cancer Subtyping
In an opinion article based their analysis of studies, two medical researchers argue that women diagnosed with breast cancer (BC) would likely benefit from treatment based also on identifying the molecular subtype of different cells within their tumors, in addition to current molecular and histopathology testing of collections of tumor cells. More...06 Nov 2017
