Drug-Resistant Strains of Salmonella Causing Bloodstream Infections
Salmonella enterica subspecies enterica serovar Typhimurium (known as S. typhimurium) and other non-typhoidal Salmonella are common causes of gastrointestinal infections in people living in industrialized countries. More...02 Oct 2019
Targeted RNA Sequencing Technology Diagnoses Breast Cancer
In recent years, RNA-sequencing (RNA-seq) technology has become the standard for transcriptome analysis because of its flexibility, sensitivity, and accuracy in measuring gene expression. RNA-seq is a technology in which cDNA is derived from RNA, followed by library construction and massively parallel deep sequencing. More...01 Oct 2019
New Guidelines Designed to Help Diagnose Chronic Diarrhea
A newly published official guideline for diagnosing chronic watery diarrhea was established to aid clinicians in choosing appropriate laboratory tests to exclude other diagnoses in the setting of suspected functional diarrhea or diarrhea-predominant irritable bowel syndrome (IBS-D). More...30 Sep 2019
New Strain of Bacteria Causes Scarlet Fever
Scarlet fever is a classic exanthem of childhood caused by the bacterium Streptococcus pyogenes (group A streptococcus). Symptoms, which affect young children, include a high temperature, sore throat, and a pink-red rash that feels like sandpaper. More...26 Sep 2019
Next-Gen Sequencing Matches Blood Group Antigens for Transfusion
Transfusion is the procedure of introducing donor material with unknown blood cell antigens into the recipient’s circulatory system. The recipient’s immune system recognizes foreign antigens, produces specific antibodies and sensitization (alloimmunization) occurs. More...26 Sep 2019
Distinctive mRNA Signatures May Prove Diagnostic for Cancer-Related AIS
A recently published paper described a distinctive molecular signature present in blood mRNA expression profiles of patients with cancer-related acute ischemic stroke (AIS) that could potentially lead to earlier diagnosis of cancer in these patients. More...22 Sep 2019
