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). More...10 Oct 2017
Pre-Op Test Can Detect Some Pancreatic Cancers
A newly developed genetic test was highly sensitive at determining which pancreatic cysts are most likely to be associated with one of the most aggressive types of pancreatic cancer. The successful results are a critical step toward a precision medicine approach to detecting and treating pancreatic cancer. More...09 Oct 2017
