Multiplex Molecular Test Developed for Three Arboviruses

Clinical manifestations of Zika virus, chikungunya virus and dengue virus infections can be similar. To improve virus detection, streamline molecular workflow, and decrease test costs, a multiplex real-time reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (rt-PCR) for these viruses has been developed and evaluated.

Liquid Biopsy Urine Test Detects Mutations In Lung Cancer

While lung cancer is one of the most aggressive malignancies, progress has been made in the advancement of therapeutic strategies against the disease and in particular, epidermal growth factor receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitors (EGFR-TKIs). More...

Urinary Round Cells Predict Need For Hemodialysis

Urinalysis is a safe, easy, and cost-effective diagnostic tool, and sediments are indicative of nephron condition, therefore, it can be considered as a virtual renal biopsy and is useful for the differential diagnosis of acute kidney injury and chronic kidney disease. More...

New Methylation Test Determines Cervical Cancer Risk

A novel CE-IVD-marked diagnostic triage test for use in differentiating patients’ risk of developing cervical cancer (CC) will soon be available in Europe, Middle East, and Africa for use on either clinician- or self-collected specimens. Self-sampling can streamline processes and help avoid unnecessary further medical intervention. As a follow-up assay, the test helps risk-stratify patients with transforming human papillomavirus (HPV) infections. More...

Wide-ranging Genomic Study Links Migraine-Related Genes to the Vascular System

Results from 22 genome-wide association (GWA) studies conducted by dozens of researchers worldwide suggest that migraine is linked to specific gene loci that are associated with some vascular disease or are involved in the regulation of vascular tone. More...
