Microscopy and Molecular Assay Compared for Schistosomiasis Diagnosis
The current reference test for the detection of Schistosoma mansoni in endemic areas is stool microscopy based on one or more Kato-Katz stool smears, but this technique is highly observer-dependent and has suboptimal sensitivity. More...12 Aug 2015
HPV16 in Oral Rinses Predicts Prognosis in Oropharyngeal Cancer
The presence of persistent human papillomavirus type 16 DNA in oral rinses after treatment for HPV-related oropharyngeal cancer is rare, but it appears to be associated with poor prognosis and therefore may have potential as a long-term tool for tumor surveillance. More...12 Aug 2015
