Autoimmune Antibody Identified as Biomarker for Tachycardia Syndrome
Results published in a recent paper suggested that postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS) was probably an autoimmune disorder and may boost the development of a simple blood test to diagnose the condition. More...16 Sep 2019
Human Intestinal Enteroids Used to Detect Norovirus Infectivity
Human norovirus accounts for 18% of acute gastroenteritis cases worldwide. Molecular nucleic acid tests, such as real-time reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (rRT-PCR), are widely used for laboratory diagnosis of norovirus RNA in clinical samples. More...12 Sep 2019
Detergent-Enhanced LAMP Detects African Trypanosome in CSF
Human African trypanosomiasis is a fatal disease, if untreated, spread by bloodsucking tsetse flies. These protozoan parasites first enter the lymph and blood to invade many organ systems, the early stage sleeping sickness. More...12 Sep 2019
Fungus-Associated Bacteriome Associated with C. difficile Infection
Clostridioides difficile infection (CDI), the most common etiology of nosocomial infectious diarrhea, is caused by an intestinal dysbiosis that is virtually always attributable to antibiotics. This causes one of the most common hospital-acquired infections in the USA. More...11 Sep 2019
Novel Cell‐Free DNA Screening Assay Validated for Trisomies
Prenatal screening for trisomies 21, 18, and 13 is currently performed using multiple maternal serum and ultrasound markers. Clinical implementation studies of maternal plasma cell‐free (cf)-DNA testing have demonstrated a much higher sensitivity and specificity for these trisomies. More...10 Sep 2019
