Lateral-Flow Assay Rapidly Detects Plague Bacteria
Plague caused by Yersinia pestis is a known flea-borne disease that can trigger large epizootics among the rodent population. Humans that live in environments close to these rodents can contract the bubonic plague either through direct contact with infected animals or through transmission by infective flea bites.

Biomarkers Explored in Patients with Acute Coronary Syndromes
Well-developed coronary collateral arteries are associated with improved survival in patients with coronary artery disease. A key process in forming new blood vessels is attraction to occluded arteries of monocytes with their subsequent activation as macrophages. More...28 Aug 2018
Biomarkers Linked to Fatigue in Parkinson’s Disease
Parkinson's disease (PD) is a long-term degenerative disorder of the central nervous system that mainly affects the motor system. The symptoms generally come on slowly over time. Early in the disease, the most obvious are shaking, rigidity, slowness of movement, and difficulty with walking. More...21 Aug 2018
Fifth-Generation Cardiac Troponin Assays Compared
Cardiac troponin I (cTnI) and cardiac troponin T (cTnT) are highly specific biomarkers of myocardial injury. The 99th percentile upper reference limit (URL) of a normal reference population is the recommended threshold which defines an increased cTnI or cTnT plasma concentration indicative for myocardial injury. More...20 Aug 2018
Immunochromatographic Test Rapidly Diagnoses Parasitic Infection
The rat lungworm Angiostrongylus cantonensis is a food-borne zoonotic parasite that causes eosinophilic meningitis in humans. Suspected cases of A. cantonensis infection can only be confirmed by finding the nematodes in cerebral spinal fluid (CSF) of the patients. More...15 Aug 2018
