New Gene Associated With Familial High Cholesterol
The gene that explains one quarter of all familial hypercholesterolemia with very high blood cholesterol has been revealed. Familial hypercholesterolemia is the most common genetic disorder leading to premature death, found in 1 in 200 people. More...26 May 2016
Dengue Rapid Diagnostic Tests Recycled For Serotyping
Dengue virus infection causes major public health problems in tropical and subtropical areas, but in many endemic areas, inadequate access to laboratory facilities is a major obstacle to surveillance and study of dengue epidemiology. More...25 May 2016
Norovirus Assays Compared In Acute Gastroenteritis Patients
Noroviruses (NoVs) are the most common cause of acute viral gastroenteritis worldwide and they affect all age group and are frequently involved in outbreaks in communal facilities, such as hospitals, schools, prisons, cruise ships. More...24 May 2016
Innovative Gene Testing Technology Finds Cancer Risks
A new method has been developed for identifying mutations and prioritizing variants in breast and ovarian cancer genes, which will not only reduce the number of possible variants for doctors to investigate, but also increase the number of patients that are properly diagnosed. More...19 May 2016
HPV Infection Identified In Self-Collected Vaginal Swabs
High risk, potentially cancer causing human papillomavirus infections (HPV) are common among women in the developing world, but self-sampling with vaginal swabs may provide materials that screen as accurately as the more labor-intensive approach using cervical samples obtained by clinicians. More...19 May 2016
Combining Two Diagnostic Tests Drastically Reduces Cancer Miss Rates
The Papanicolaou (Pap) test is recommended for women between 21 and 65 years old as a screening test for cervical cancer. Women 30 and older who are negative on co-testing may wait as long as five years for their next testing, but physicians still recommend annual examinations. More...17 May 2016
