Levels of NfL Increase Accuracy of Stroke Risk Prediction
Serum levels of neurofilament light polypeptide have been found to predict the likelihood of suffering a stroke and to add considerably to the discriminatory power of the Framingham Stroke Risk Score in a group of middle-aged and older adults with diabetes mellitus. More...08 Jul 2019
Whole-Blood Testing Diagnoses Acute Zika Virus Infections
Zika virus infections are linked to congenital malformations in neonates from mothers infected during pregnancy and to neurologic disorders in adults. Reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) is the most reliable method for confirming Zika virus infections. More...04 Jul 2019
Metastases May Form Early in Development of Colorectal Cancer
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). Signs and symptoms may include blood in the stool, a change in bowel movements, weight loss, and feeling tired all the time. More...04 Jul 2019
Fetal Genetic Variants Implicated in Spontaneous Preterm Birth Risk
Preterm live births that take place before 37 completed weeks of gestation and even as early as 22–24 weeks are a global problem. Up to 11.1% (15 million babies) of all births worldwide occur prematurely, and approximately 45% to 50% of them are idiopathic or spontaneous. More...03 Jul 2019
New Genetic Link to Premenopausal Breast Cancer Discovered
Breast cancer is the most common cancer in women, with an estimated one out of every eight women expected to develop it in their lifetimes. While environmental factors like smoking, diet or lack of physical activity can lead to cancer, a person's genes also contribute to the risk of getting the disease. More...03 Jul 2019
