LAMP Assay Validated for MRSA in Invasive Samples
Staphylococcus aureus is a leading cause of bone and joint infections and one of the most common causative pathogens of bacterial pneumonia in children. An increased risk of mortality from invasive staphylococcal infections has been attributed to methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA). More...16 Jun 2017
Genetic Test Identifies Risk of Anal Cancer
Anal cancer is mostly caused by human papillomavirus (HPV), which is the same virus that causes cervical cancer. Diagnosis presents many challenges as full biopsies are painful, and taking a small sample of cells for cytology is problematic because lesions can be hidden. More...14 Jun 2017
Sequencing Approach to Detect Genomic Alterations
An early study evaluated a sophisticated new genomic-sequencing approach that analyzes cell-free DNA (cfDNA) in the blood of people with advanced cancer and will help development of a future assay that could potentially detect cancer in its earliest stages. More...13 Jun 2017
Genetic Mutation Identified for Childhood Kidney Cancer
The underlying mechanism that causes aneuploidy might be important in understanding cancer risk and not solely having the wrong number of chromosomes in a cell. It is an important development that provides valuable information about the fundamental biology of cancer. More...13 Jun 2017
Rapid Molecular Test Diagnoses Multiple Sclerosis
A pioneering blood test has been introduced that speeds up multiple sclerosis (MS) diagnosis to just seven days. Current testing methods such as magnetic resonance imaging scans take much longer to reach a diagnosis because they rely on measuring the progress of irreversible neurological damage. More...07 Jun 2017
