Automated Microscopy Compared for Routine Malaria Diagnosis
Microscopic examination of Giemsa-stained blood films remains a major form of diagnosis in malaria case management. However, as with other visualization-based diagnoses, accuracy depends on individual technician performance, making standardization difficult and reliability poor. More...10 Oct 2018
Disease Progression Apprised by Post-Treatment Mutation Sequencing
Allogeneic hematopoietic stem-cell transplantation is the only curative treatment for patients with myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS). The molecular predictors of disease progression after transplantation are unclear. More...26 Sep 2018
DNA Test Predicts Risk of Leukemia Relapse
Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is the most common type of leukemia in adults, comprising about one quarter of all cases. The disease stems from an overproduction of immature blood cells in the bone marrow, which over time outgrow normal blood cells. It's a type of cancer, which starts suddenly and progresses quickly, requiring urgent treatment. More...25 Sep 2018
New mRNA Cancer Drivers Revealed in Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia
New evidence has emerged showing that the inactivation or alteration of cancer suppressor genes can take place even if DNA itself remains unaltered. A known molecular mechanism for cancer development and spread is the inactivation of tumor suppressor genes, which encode various tools the body uses to keep its cells from turning cancerous. More...11 Sep 2018
