New Genetic Factors Involved in Sudden Unexpected Death in Children

About 10% of deaths in infants and children occur suddenly and have no apparent cause. Sudden Unexpected Death in Pediatrics (SUDP) encompasses several related phenomena, including Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS), Sudden Unexplained Death in Childhood (SUDC), and Sudden Unexpected Infant Death (SUID).

Different Methods Compared for Isolating Fungal DNA

Mucormycosis (previously called zygomycosis) is a serious, but rare fungal infection, caused by a group of molds called mucormycetes. These molds live throughout the environment. Mucormycosis mainly affects people who are immunocompromised or diabetic. More...

Digital PCR Improves BCR-ABL1 Detection in Chronic Myeloid Leukemia

Specific targeting of the Bcr-Abl1 enzyme by tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKI) revolutionized the management of chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) to the point that TKIs can offer near normal life expectancy for CML patients. More...

RNA-Sequencing Predicts Immunotherapy Success in Bladder Cancer

Urothelial carcinoma, also known as transitional cell carcinoma (TCC), is by far the most common type of bladder cancer. Urothelial cells also line other parts of the urinary tract, such as the part of the kidney that connects to the ureter (called the renal pelvis), the ureters, and the urethra. More...
