Enzyme-Based Point-of-Care Test Could Rapidly Identify Stroke Patients upon Arrival at Hospital
Researchers at Cornell University (Ithaca, NY, USA) have developed a new test that could rapidly identify stroke patients upon arrival at the hospital, so that more patients could receive a CT scan and the clot-dissolving medicine tPA within the critical window. The researchers plan to develop this enzyme-based technology into a range of diagnostic tests that can be performed anywhere using a handheld device. Their initial research has shown that the test effectively diagnoses stroke and concussions. More...25 Mar 2022
New Antibody Test Diagnoses Multiple Sclerosis in 20 Minutes
Researchers at Mayo Clinic (Rochester, MN, USA) have validated a new antibody test to diagnose multiple sclerosis (MS) that measures kappa immunoglobulin free light chains in cerebrospinal fluid. The researchers conclude the test is a valid alternative to a commonly used test to detect oligoclonal bands in cerebrospinal fluid. More...25 Mar 2022
Cerebrospinal Fluid Liquid Biopsy for Diagnosis of Metastatic Breast Cancer
A liquid biopsy technique that detects cell-free tumor DNA (ctDNA) in the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) offers the possibility for early and definitive diagnosis of leptomeningeal metastasis of breast and other cancers. More...23 Mar 2022
Novel Painless Test Massively Simplifies Diagnosis of Allergies and Predicts Success of Immunotherapy
Although allergies are widespread, their diagnosis is complex and, depending on the type of allergy, the prospects of success with therapy are not always clear. Skin tests so far have been unpleasant, time-consuming and associated with a certain risk of triggering an allergic overreaction. Researchers have now developed a novel test that massively simplifies the diagnosis of allergies and can reliably predict the success of a therapy. More...23 Mar 2022
