Highly Specific Blood Test Detects Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease
A preliminary study has indicated that a blood test for infection by the prion that causes vCJD has sufficient sensitivity and specificity to justify a large study comparing vCJD prevalence in the United Kingdom with a bovine spongiform encephalopathy-unexposed population. More...20 Mar 2014
Combined Screening Suggested to Better Detect ALK Rearrangements in Samples from Non-Small-Cell Lung Cancer Patients
Anaplastic lymphoma kinase rearrangements occur in 1% to 7% of non-small-cell lung cancers, but nearly 25% of samples from NSCLC patients with ALK rearrangements were not identified when analyzed by either fluorescent in situ hybridization or immunohistochemistry. More...12 Mar 2014
