Low Zinc May Indicate Potential Breast-Feeding Problems
A new study provides an important step toward identifying breast-fed infants at risk for severe zinc deficiency. Identifying mothers with abnormally low levels of zinc in breast milk may enable to more quickly determine those more likely to have trouble breast-feeding. More...27 Dec 2015
Different Mutations May Predict Different Responses to Chemotherapy
Among patients with estrogen receptor-positive, metastatic breast cancer, those who had a D538G and/or a Y537S mutation in the estrogen receptor 1 gene, as detected in cell-free DNA obtained from patient blood samples, had significantly worse median overall survival. More...21 Dec 2015
Molecular Methods Differentiate E. coli Outbreaks
The public health importance of Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli infections, epidemiological and molecular surveillance systems are essential for early outbreak detection and in recent years, rapid advancements in the use of molecular typing methods have improved STEC surveillance and outbreak detection.
