FDA Clears CT/NG Assays for Extragenital Testing

Chlamydia trachomatis commonly known as chlamydia is a bacterium that can replicate only in human cells. It can manifest in various ways, including: trachoma, lymphogranuloma venereum, non-gonococcal urethritis, cervicitis, salpingitis, pelvic inflammatory disease. More...

Genomic Analysis Uncovers Differences in Liver Cancer Subtypes

Intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC) is the second most common malignancy arising from the liver. ICC makes up about 10% of all cholangiocarcinomas. It arises from the peripheral bile ducts within the liver parenchyma, proximal to the secondary biliary radicals. More...

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...

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...

Image: The BK virus (BKV) is a ubiquitous human polyomavirus that causes hemorrhagic cystitis in hematopoietic stem cell transplantation patients and nephropathy in kidney transplantation recipients. Poorly cohesive urothelial cells possess amorphous and smudgy nuclei, indicative of BK viral infection (Photo courtesy of Pathos223).

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...

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...
