FDA Clears Diagnostic Assay for Group B Strep
Group B Streptococcus (GBS) is a Gram-positive bacterium found in 10% to 35% of healthy adults and is a commonly found bacterium within the human body. A person who carries GBS and does not present symptoms of GBS disease is said to be “colonized” with GBS. More...10 Aug 2018
Infections Defined in Urothelial Bladder Tumors
Bladder cancer is estimated to be the 9th most common cancer worldwide and over 90% of bladder tumors are classed as urothelial bladder carcinomas (UBCs), with 75% to 80% presenting at non-muscle-invasive (NMIBC) stages and the remainder presenting at muscle-invasive (MIBC) and metastatic stages.

Fracture Risk Predicted with New Genetic Screen
Low bone mineral density (BMD) is the major determinant for osteopenia and osteoporosis, which increase the chances of fragility fracture especially for elderly women. Low BMD is also a risk factor for bone fractures, especially stress fracture. More...09 Aug 2018
Susceptible Genes Identified for Childhood Kidney Disease
Childhood nephrotic syndrome, also known as nephrosis, is an incurable disease with an unknown cause, characterized by large amounts of protein leaving the body in the patient's urine, and protein levels in the bloodstream becoming extremely low. More...09 Aug 2018
Mutations Identified As Cause for Rare Bone Marrow Disorder
Scientists have helped solve a decades-old mystery about which mutations are responsible for an inherited bone marrow disorder. The answer may allow some children to avoid the risk and expense of bone marrow transplantation, a common treatment for leukemia and bone marrow disorders. More...09 Aug 2018
