Rapid Hepatitis C Testing Helps Screen Young Adults
Hepatitis C (HCV) is a viral infection that affects the liver and an estimated 3.2 million people in the USA are infected with HCV, and most do not feel ill or know that they are infected. Since 2010, acute cases of HCV have more than doubled, with new cases predominantly among young, white individuals with a history of injection drug use. More...04 Oct 2017
New Markers Revealed for Severe Multiple Sclerosis
Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is a chronic condition that affects an estimated 2.3 million people worldwide. In MS, the sheath covering nerve fibers in the brain and spinal cord becomes damaged, slowing or blocking electrical signals from the brain reaching the eyes, muscles, and other parts of the body.

Pancreatic Proteins Increase Sensitivity of Type 1 Diabetes Tests
There are approximately 29.1 million people living with diabetes and about 18,000 children in the USA are diagnosed with type 1 diabetes, with diagnoses peaking around the age of 14. The disease is controllable with insulin injections, pumps and constant blood sugar testing. More...27 Sep 2017
Low-Volume Aldosterone Immunoassay Validated for Small Samples
Heart failure is a severe cardiovascular disease in adults and children and is characterized by structural or functional abnormalities of the heart. Heart failure leads to an inappropriate blood circulation and subsequently to an undersupply of metabolizing tissues with oxygen and nutrients. More...26 Sep 2017
IBS Colon Reacts Differently to Bacteria
Irritable bowel syndrome disturbs bowel function and the condition leads to repeated episodes of abdominal pain, and usually gives rise to constipation or diarrhea. Around 10% of people in Sweden suffer from IBS, and it is twice as common among women as among men. More...21 Sep 2017
Blood Inflammatory Molecules Increased in ALS
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), also known as Lou Gehrig’s disease, is a fatal neurodegenerative disease characterized by the degeneration of motor neurons in brain and spinal cord. Only 5% to 10% of ALS cases are explained by a genetic mutation, while 90% to 95% of cases are sporadic, with no known cause. More...06 Sep 2017
