Nanoparticle System Captures Heart-Disease Biomarker From Blood
Physicians currently use an antibody-based test called enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) to help diagnose heart attacks based on elevated levels of cardiac troponin I (cTnI) in the patient's blood sample. While the ELISA test is sensitive, patients can have high levels of cTnI in the blood without having heart disease, which can lead to expensive and unnecessary treatments for patients.

Blood Bank NAT-Based Assay Prevents Transfusion-Transmitted Malaria
Blood transfusion is an essential component of health care, which saves millions of lives across the world. The screening of blood donors for transfusion-transmissible agents is crucial in reducing risks of transfusion of infected units. More...20 Aug 2020
Elevated Glycolated Hemoglobin in Young People Predicts Likelihood of Diabetes or Cardiovascular Disease in Adulthood
A review of blood test results from more than 14,000 young people suggested that measurement of glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) was a specific and useful nonfasting marker for identify high-risk youth who could benefit from lifestyle interventions to prevent diabetes and cardiovascular risk in adulthood. More...19 Aug 2020
High Blood Glucose Tied to Cardiovascular Risk in Diabetes
Glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) is a measure of an overall picture of what the average blood sugar levels have been over a period of weeks/months. If the blood sugar levels have been high over recent weeks, the hemoglobinA1c test will be higher. More...14 Aug 2020
IFN‐γ Release Assay Helps Diagnose Hemophagocytic Lymphohistiocytosis
Hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH), either primary (pHLH, or Familiar, FHL) or secondary is a life‐threatening hyper‐inflammatory syndrome, characterized by massive and uncontrolled activation of macrophages and T cells, causing fever, cytopenia and liver dysfunction with coagulopathy.

Automated Malaria Diagnosis Enhanced by Deep Neural Networks
Plasmodium falciparum malaria remains one of the greatest global health burdens with over 228 million cases globally in 2018. In that year there were approximately 405,000 deaths due to malaria worldwide, with the African region accounting for 93% of these deaths, mostly among children. More...14 Aug 2020
Eosinophil Count Provides Diagnostic Information for COVID-19
Early diagnosis of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) and patient isolation are important for both individual patient care and disease containment. The diagnosis is confirmed by testing for the presence of nasopharyngeal viral RNA with a polymerase chain reaction assay, which has limited availability, variable turnaround time, and a high false-negative rate. More...29 Jul 2020
