Optimized Immunoassays Detect HBV in Oral Fluid Samples
It is estimated that there are 257 million chronic hepatitis B (HBV) carriers worldwide, which highlights the substantial health, social, and economic burden of HBV. Screening of infected, cured and vaccinated individuals is necessary to identify the presence of chronically infected reservoirs, immune and susceptible individuals. More...05 Sep 2019
Enterovirus Antibodies Detected in Acute Flaccid Myelitis Patients
Neurotropic enteroviruses (EVs), such as poliovirus, have long been associated with paralytic disease. Acute flaccid myelitis (AFM) has caused motor paralysis in more than 560 children in the United States since 2014. More...28 Aug 2019
Troponin Complexes Explored in Acute MI Patients
Acute myocardial infarction is the medical name for a heart attack. A heart attack is a life-threatening condition that occurs when blood flow to the heart muscle is abruptly cut off, causing tissue damage. This is usually the result of a blockage in one or more of the coronary arteries. More...22 Aug 2019
Prognostic Value of Specific Biomarker in Prostate Cancer Authenticated
Prostate cancer (PC) is the most commonly diagnosed cancer in Canadian men. In men with high-risk PC, progression of the disease will lead to biochemical recurrence (BCR), distant metastases, and disease-specific mortality. More...20 Aug 2019
