Genetic Testing Determines Safest Dose of Blood Thinner
Warfarin, commonly known as Coumadin, is frequently used to prevent a life-threatening blood clot. It is often prescribed to people having hip or knee replacement surgery, as well as to individuals with certain heart conditions that leave them vulnerable to a stroke. More...12 Oct 2017
Technology Diagnoses Pneumonia Caused by Undetected Pathogens
A novel next-generation sequencing (NGS) test for respiratory infections has been launched. The test provides a new solution for thousands of physicians who currently experience difficulty in diagnosing and treating patients with pneumonia and other respiratory diseases. More...11 Oct 2017
Liquid Biopsy Test Outperforms Prostate Cancer PCA3 Test
Of the nearly two million prostate biopsies performed each year, less than a third find cancer. Most of these men could have avoided a painful and invasive prostate biopsy procedure, with its associated complications and costs. More...11 Oct 2017
Predatory Bacteria Found in Lung Microbiome of CF Patient
The natural evolution of cystic fibrosis (CF) is a progressive decline in lung function caused by a vicious circle of inflammation and tissue destruction, which is triggered and maintained by the chronic bacterial colonization of the lower respiratory tract. More...10 Oct 2017
Biomarkers of Sickle Cell and Hemoglobin SC Compared
Sickle cell disease (SCD) is a group of inherited diseases that includes sickle cell anemia (SCA), which is the homozygous state of the beta S (βS) allele and the most severe SCD genotype. The heterozygous state of the βS allele is characterized by the presence of hemoglobin S (HbS) and is associated with a group of less severe SCD, including hemoglobin SC disease (HbSC).
