Metagenomics Uncover Pathogens and Drug-Resistance Genes
Metagenomics, and even metatranscriptomics, are enabling clinicians and scientists to tease out pathogens from an assortment of microbes. Scientists are beginning to show that metagenomics can pick up the same microbes that culturing does and may even spot ones missed by culturing. More...26 Jun 2018
High Vitamin D Levels Linked to Lower Cholesterol
Vitamin D is known to be essential for bone metabolism, and low serum 25(OH)D levels increase the risk of rickets, osteomalacia, and osteopenia. The associations of serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25(OH)D) with plasma lipids remain controversial in children. More...19 Jun 2018
Molecular Test Developed for Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma
The prevalence of nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) is higher in Southeast Asia than other parts of the world, around 35 cases per 100,000. Five-year survival rate of the disease is as high as 95% when it is detected early, but drops to 60% if detected at later stage. Most patients are asymptomatic, and so 80% are diagnosed with advanced disease. More...12 Jun 2018
