Blood Biomarkers Identify Individuals at Risk of Heart Attack or Stroke
A recent study found that elevated levels of high-sensitivity cardiac troponin T or NT-proBNP characterized individuals with elevated blood pressure (BP) or hypertension not currently recommended for anti-hypertensive medication who are at high risk for cardiovascular (CV) events such as heart attack or stroke.

Early-Onset Alzheimer's Mutation Possibly Mitigated by APOE Variant
Alzheimer's disease is an irreversible, progressive brain disorder that slowly destroys memory and thinking skills, and, eventually, the ability to carry out the simplest tasks. In most people with Alzheimer's, symptoms first appear in their mid-60s. More...19 Nov 2019
Phoenix CPO Test Evaluated for Detection of Carbapenemase Producers
The use of nucleic acid amplification tests (NAAT) to identify rapidly Carbapenemase-Producing Organisms (CPO) from samples such as positive blood culture and stools is an alternative approach to establish rapidly an optimal empirical antibiotic therapy or for infectious control management.
