High Vitamin D Levels Linked to Lower Cholesterol
Vitamin D is known to be essential for bone metabolism, and low serum 25(OH)D levels increase the risk of rickets, osteomalacia, and osteopenia. The associations of serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25(OH)D) with plasma lipids remain controversial in children. More...19 Jun 2018
Molecular Test Developed for Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma
The prevalence of nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) is higher in Southeast Asia than other parts of the world, around 35 cases per 100,000. Five-year survival rate of the disease is as high as 95% when it is detected early, but drops to 60% if detected at later stage. Most patients are asymptomatic, and so 80% are diagnosed with advanced disease. More...12 Jun 2018
RT-PCR Assay Developed to Detect Bloodstream Infections
Rapid detection and identification of a causative pathogen is essential in the treatment of critically ill patients with blood stream infection (BSI), since timely initiation of adequate antibiotic treatment is associated with decreased morbidity, mortality, and possibly reduced healthcare costs.

Leprosy Neural Impairment Diagnosis Evaluated by Tests
Leprosy is a chronic infectious disease caused by Mycobacterium leprae, an obligate intracellular parasite with a predilection for infecting peripheral nerves and skin. Leprosy is a current and challenging disease, because it still represents a problem for public health in developing countries. More...07 Jun 2018
