Biomarker Discovered for Hypervirulent Pathogen
There is no accurate method for distinguishing between the hypervirulent strain from the classical strain of Klebsiella pneumoniae (cKp), which is most often seen in the Western hemisphere, and is less virulent and usually causes infections in hospital settings. More...18 Jul 2018
MicroRNA Pair Serves as Biomarkers for Rapid Sepsis Diagnosis
Two microRNAs that could be the basis of a test to help physicians classify patients into those with organ failure who are at high risk of sepsis and death and those patients with milder infections have been identified. More...16 Jul 2018
Optimization of Analytical Procedures Reduces Variability of Results
A team of Spanish researchers recently described the development and optimization of several "quantitative suspension array" assays (qSAT) designed to assess natural and vaccine-induced responses to malaria and other parasites. More...16 Jul 2018
Genetic Connections Uncovered Between Psychiatric Disorders
Brain disorders may exhibit shared symptoms and substantial epidemiological comorbidity, inciting debate about their etiologic overlap. However, detailed study of phenotypes with different ages of onset, severity, and presentation poses a considerable challenge. More...12 Jul 2018
Female Bladder Bacteria Reveal Urogenital Microbiota
Contrary to medical dogma, urine is not sterile, even in asymptomatic individuals. For over 60 years, the standard urine culture protocol has represented the primary tool for detecting bacteria in clinical microbiology laboratories. More...11 Jul 2018
Lipid Species Offer Insights into Metabolic Health
Heart disease is the number one killer in the USA, and high triglyceride levels in the blood are cited as just one of several risk factors. Millions of lipid panels, blood tests that look at cholesterol levels as well as triglycerides, are performed in clinics each year. More...11 Jul 2018
