Molecular Assays Developed for Hantavirus Pulmonary Syndrome
Hantavirus Pulmonary Syndrome (HPS) is a serious and often fatal disease caused by viruses known as hantaviruses. These anthropozoonotic diseases comprising of two clinical entities: Hemorrhagic Fever with Renal Syndrome (HFRS), which occurs in the Old World, and Hantavirus Pulmonary Syndrome (HPS) in the New World.

Dual Nucleic Acid Template Assay Developed for Cancer
Massive parallel sequencing or massively parallel sequencing is any of several high-throughput approaches to DNA sequencing using the concept of massively parallel processing; it is also called next-generation sequencing or second-generation sequencing. More...16 Jan 2020
Tumor DNA Platform Classifies Colorectal Cancer
Most colorectal cancers are due to old age and lifestyle factors, with only a small number of cases due to underlying genetic disorders. Some of the inherited genetic disorders that can cause colorectal cancer include familial adenomatous polyposis and hereditary non-polyposis colon cancer; however, these represent less than 5% of cases.

Biomarker-Based Blood Test Does Not Completely Replace CT Scan for Diagnosis of Elderly Concussion Patients
A recent study confirmed that the GFAP/UCH-L1 blood test could predict with 100% accuracy which elderly concussion patients did not have brain tissue damage and were not in need of a CT scan. More...14 Jan 2020
Multiplex Nested Polymerase Chain Reaction Developed for Congenital Infections
Infections are the leading cause of perinatal mortality in low- and middle-income countries, which have a higher prevalence of infections, and are responsible for 50% of infant deaths in the first year of life. Definitive diagnosis of congenital and perinatal infections is largely dependent upon the results of laboratory tests. More...13 Jan 2020
