Novel Flu Test Developed to Speed Up Treatment
A novel way of using a swab test has been developed which can rapidly diagnose influenza and other viral infections in patients with severe respiratory conditions, resulting in shorter courses of antibiotics and less time in hospital. More...20 Apr 2017
New Genetic Risk Factor Identified for Anxiety Disorders
Several newly discovered variants of the GLRB gene were associated with increased risk of developing anxiety disorders, including agoraphobic cognitions, increased startle response, and fear network activation, pointing to a potential neurogenetic pathway. More...11 Apr 2017
Targeted Microbubbles Enhance Ultrasound Detection of Malignant Tumors
By combining standard ultrasound technology with a novel type of targeted microbubbles, cancer researchers have developed a sensitive method for detecting malignant tumors that could reduce the number of biopsies needed to differentiate them from benign growths. More...11 Apr 2017
Mutations Linked to Improved Survival of Patients with HPV+ Carcinoma
Cancer researchers analyzed head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) data from The Cancer Genome Atlas to identify molecular characteristics of human papillomavirus (HPV)+ HNSCC and correlated them with patient outcomes. More...11 Apr 2017
