Molecular Test Predicts Blood Cancer Patient Survival
Technology that can detect the length of small DNA structures in cancer cells could hold the key to predicting the outcome of patients with two different types of blood cancer. The test, used in conjunction with current methods, may help doctors make better choices about the most appropriate and effective treatment option for individual patients. More...24 May 2017
Blood Group May Affect Heart Attack Risk
Healthcare professionals should consider a person's blood group when assessing their cardiovascular risk as people with A, B, and AB blood types may be at greater risk of cardiovascular events, particularly heart attacks, than individuals with O blood types. More...18 May 2017
Manually Powered Device Separates Blood for Diagnosis
Inspired by a whirligig toy, researchers have used its mechanical principles to develop an ultra-low-cost, hand-powered blood centrifuge out of paper, no electricity required. The tool could improve diagnosis of diseases like malaria, African sleeping sickness, and tuberculosis in resource-poor, off-the-grid regions where these diseases are prevalent. More...

Routine Donor Screening Revealed Acute Usutu Virus
Usutu virus (USUV) an Old World flavivirus included in the Japanese encephalitis virus (JEV) antigenic complex is transmitted by mosquitoes to birds that act as the main amplifying hosts, while humans are considered incidental or dead-end hosts. More...20 Apr 2017
Hand-Held Test Kit Developed for Chemotherapy Patients
Chemotherapy often reduces blood cell counts, exposing patients to infections, anemia and other problems. Low blood counts, when discovered, are also the major cause of delayed treatment or reduced treatment dosage. The normal procedure has been for a patient to turn up at the hospital and take a blood test before undergoing treatment, but in 20% of cases they were being sent home because their blood counts were too low.
