Gut Microbiome Analysis Predicts Hospitalizations in Cirrhosis
Cirrhosis is a leading cause of mortality and healthcare expenditure due to hospitalizations worldwide. Bacterial products such as endotoxin play a key role in the development of a proinflammatory milieu and disease progression in cirrhosis. More...11 Apr 2018
Genomic Test Detects Lynch Syndrome in Colorectal Cancer
Lynch syndrome (LS) affects approximately 3% of all patients with colorectal cancer (CRC), making it the most common hereditary syndrome that predisposes individuals to develop CRC. Universal tumor screening for LS in CRC is recommended and involves up to six sequential tests. More...11 Apr 2018
Potential Genetic Link Identified in SIDS
Sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) is the unexpected death of a seemingly healthy infant. It is the leading cause of post-neonatal infant death in high-income countries and accounts for 2,400 deaths per year in the USA alone and around 300 in the UK. More...10 Apr 2018
Novel RNA Blood Test Launched for Fibromyalgia
It is estimated that about five million Americans suffer from fibromyalgia, a poorly understood disorder characterized by deep tissue pain, fatigue, headaches, mood swings and insomnia. It often takes years for a patient to be diagnosed with fibromyalgia and some doctors still refuse to recognize it as a disease. More...10 Apr 2018
Molecular Diagnostic Tool Developed for Chronic Endometritis
Chronic endometritis is a persistent inflammation of the endometrial mucosa caused by bacterial pathogens. Although chronic endometritis can be asymptomatic, it is found in up to 40% of infertile patients and is responsible for repeated implantation failure and recurrent miscarriage. More...04 Apr 2018
New Osteoarthritis Genes Discovered
Almost nine million people in the UK suffer from osteoarthritis, a degenerative joint disease in which a person's joints become damaged, stop moving freely and become painful. Osteoarthritis is the most prevalent musculoskeletal disease and a leading cause of disability worldwide. More...04 Apr 2018
Urinary Gene-Based Test Detects Bladder Cancer
Predominantly of urothelial histology, invasive bladder cancer (BC) arises from non-invasive papillary or flat precursors, and many BC patients suffer multiple relapses prior to progression, providing ample lead-time for early detection and treatment prior to metastasis. More...03 Apr 2018
