AD Biomarkers in Ocular Fluid Indicate Dementia Risk

Measuring levels of amyloid-beta and tau proteins in the eye's vitreous humor has been suggested as means to detect dementia at an early stage in individuals at risk for Alzheimer's disease (AD). More...

Reaction to Vancomycin Linked to Immune System HLA Variant

A simple and inexpensive assay for the HLA-A*32:01 genetic variant was developed for routine use in diagnostic laboratories to identify patients likely to suffer from vancomycin-associated drug rash with eosinophilia and systemic symptoms (DRESS). More...

Fast Diagnosis of Sporotrichosis Based on RT-PCR

Sporotrichosis is a subacute or chronic infectious disease caused by dimorphic fungi of Sporothrix spp. The genus Sporothrix consists of several species with different geographic distributions, virulence, and antifungal susceptibilities, making species-level identification necessary. More...

Five-Gene Signature Predicts Survival from Renal Cell Carcinoma

Papillary renal cell carcinomas include type 1 lesions, which are characterized by small cells in single layers and scanty cytoplasm and type 2 lesions, which are distinguished by larger cells, pseudo-stratified nuclei, and voluminous eosinophilic cytoplasm. More...

EBUS More Reliable Than Histology for Cancer Diagnoses

Radial probe endobronchial ultrasound (EBUS) is a minimally invasive procedure that improves localization of peripheral pulmonary lesions. Cytology samples of the suspect lesion site collected by radial EBUS bronchoscopy provides good diagnostic sensitivity estimated at 73%, whereas histology does not definitely diagnose malignancy in approximately 20% cases. More...

Researchers Lay Groundwork for Graphene-based Diagnostic Devices

A breakthrough in the use of graphene as a plasmon resonator for ultrasensitive infrared spectroscopy should enable development of new biosensors for detection of diseases at the molecular level. More...

New Genetic Loci Link to Insufficient and Excessive Sleep Duration

Genetic loci have been found that are linked to either abnormally long or short sleep duration. More...
