Multiplex PCR Developed for Neglected Infectious Diseases
Scrub typhus, murine typhus, and leptospirosis are diagnosed as acute undifferentiated febrile illness. Diagnostic tests for these diseases depend on antibody detection. However, antibody detection is still limited by its tendency to return negative results during the early phase of these diseases. More...01 Aug 2019
Noninvasive Prenatal Test Developed for Sickle Cell Disease Risk
Sickle cell disease (SCD) is an autosomal recessive disease, meaning that a child has to inherit two mutated copies of the hemoglobin gene to develop it, one from each parent. If both parents have sickle cell trait, there is a 25% chance the child will have SCD. More...01 Aug 2019
Gene Linked to Severe Liver Damage
Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is a chronic, frequently progressive condition resulting from excessive accumulation of fat in hepatocytes. Nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) is a clinically advanced form of NAFLD characterized by hepatic inflammation with or without scarring that is associated with increased liver-related morbidity and mortality.

Test Improves Accuracy in Identifying Precancerous Pancreatic Cysts
Pancreatic cysts are common and often pose a management dilemma, because some cysts are precancerous, whereas others have little risk of developing into invasive cancers. Early, accurate detection of pancreatic cancer is a high priority. More...30 Jul 2019
