Oral Bacteria Found in Cerebral Emboli of Stroke Patients
In addition to traditional causative factors, such as hypertension, hypercholesterolemia, diabetes mellitus, smoking, and obesity, bacterial inflammation has been suggested to contribute directly or indirectly to the development of the atherosclerosis and atherothrombotic events. More...05 Jun 2019
CtDNA Forecasts Non-Metastatic Colorectal Cancer Recurrence
Colorectal cancer (CRC), also known as bowel cancer and colon cancer, is the development of cancer from the colon or rectum (parts of the large intestine). Most colorectal cancers are due to old age and lifestyle factors, with only a small number of cases due to underlying genetic disorders. More...29 May 2019
Stem Cell Transplantation Increases Risk of Infection-Related Mortality
Allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) is a potentially curative therapeutic modality for various malignant and nonmalignant hematological conditions. The best results of allogeneic HSCT were obtained when the stem cells from a human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-matched sibling were used, such a donor can only be found for approximately 30% of patients. More...29 May 2019

Liquid Biopsy Identifies Mutations Predicting Ovarian Cancer Treatment Response
Effective treatment of metastatic solid cancers is hampered by intrapatient heterogeneity, tumor evolution, and the paucity of representative tissue samples to guide treatment decisions. Analysis of circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) is an approach with the potential of overcoming all three obstacles. More...29 May 2019
Blood Test Measures Effectiveness of Aggressive Cancer Treatments
Blood tests that track the amount of tumor DNA can, after only one month of drug therapy, detect how well treatment is working in patients with skin cancer. In the USA, more than 7,200 individuals are expected to die from metastatic melanoma in 2019, with BRAF mutations playing a role in nearly half of such diagnoses. More...27 May 2019
Rapid Assay Detects Pyrazinamide-Resistant Tuberculosis
Tuberculosis (TB), caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex (MTBC) strains, remains one of the most frequent infectious diseases worldwide. Due to its high frequency and the increased risk of co-resistance to other drugs, rapid detection of pyrazinamide (PZA) resistance is essential to control the MDR-TB epidemic. More...27 May 2019
