Gene Deletions Affect Rapid Diagnostic Tests for Malaria
Prompt and accurate diagnosis of malaria is crucial for malaria case-management and control and elimination programs. While malaria diagnosis was historically based on symptoms alone, guidelines state that parasite-based diagnosis of malaria should be confirmed before treatment is given. More...25 Jul 2019
GWAS Links Novel Loci to Peripheral Artery Disease Risk
Peripheral artery disease (also called peripheral arterial disease, PAD)) is a common circulatory problem in which narrowed arteries reduce blood flow to the limbs. PAD most commonly affects arteries in the legs. Both PAD and coronary artery disease (CAD) are caused by atherosclerosis. More...25 Jul 2019
Genetic Changes Linked to Leukemia in Down’s Syndrome Children
Of the 30% of children with Down's syndrome who are found to have 'myeloid preleukemia', only 10% of those will go on to develop myeloid leukemia (3% of all children with Down's syndrome). Until now, it was not understood why only some children with the GATA1 mutation were progressing to full leukemia, while others were not. More...24 Jul 2019
Measurement of Circulating CRP Reduces Unnecessary Antibiotic Treatments
By determining levels of C-reactive protein (CRP) in the blood, it was possible to reduce the number of unnecessary prescriptions for antibiotics that were issued in the United Kingdom to individuals experiencing flare-ups of their chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). More...22 Jul 2019
