Immune Relationship to Lung Tumor Evolution Characterized
Non-small-cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC) is any type of epithelial lung cancer other than small cell lung carcinoma (SCLC). NSCLC accounts for about 85% of all lung cancers. As a class, NSCLCs are relatively insensitive to chemotherapy, compared to small cell carcinoma. More...04 Apr 2019
Preterm Birth Clues Identified in Cervicovaginal Microbiome
Failure to predict and understand the causes of preterm birth, the leading cause of neonatal morbidity and mortality, have limited effective interventions and therapeutics. Preterm birth (PTB) is defined as birth before 37 completed weeks of gestation and is the leading cause of death in neonates and children under the age of 5. More...03 Apr 2019
Blood Test to Diagnose Heart Attacks Can Be Misleading
The use of increasingly sensitive troponin assays for excluding or diagnosing acute myocardial infarction has become universal. A diagnosis of acute myocardial infarction is defined, in the context of an appropriate clinical presentation, by a rise or fall in cardiac troponin concentration, now the gold standard biomarker. More...27 Mar 2019
Oral Bacteria Linked to More Aggressive Tumors
Pancreatic cystic neoplasms (PCN) are increasingly detected in the general population. They comprise a clinically challenging entity with potential to progress to invasive cancer. The disease is often discovered late, which means that in most cases the prognosis is poor. More...26 Mar 2019
Urinary KIM-1 Concentration Interpreted in Detecting AKI
Kidney injury molecule-1 (KIM-1) has been identified as a biomarker for the assessment of nephropathy in various chronic kidney diseases (CKD). Extensive KIM-1 expression occurs in proximal tubule cells in patients with confirmed acute tubular necrosis. More...25 Mar 2019
Efficacy Investigated for Electrochemiluminescence Immunoassay
Syphilis caused by Treponema pallidum is a chronic bacterial infection. T. pallidum cannot be cultured in vitro, and new molecular tests for syphilis are unlikely to replace serology in the short term because they are fairly expensive and require sophisticated equipment. More...20 Mar 2019
Recurrent Miscarriage Patients Show Activated Immune System
Recurrent loss of pregnancy is an important reproductive health issue, affecting 2% to 5% of couples. Almost half of the cases remain unexplained and are treated empirically, using progesterone supplementation, anticoagulation, and/or immunomodulatory approaches. More...19 Mar 2019
