Simple Test Improves Treatment for Colon Cancer Patients
Colorectal cancer is the fourth most common cancer in the USA and the second deadliest. There are four primary stages of colon cancer. Generally, with stage 2, the cancer has not spread to nearby lymph nodes or distant organs but has grown into or through the wall of the colon. More...06 Jul 2017
Combined Molecular Test Distinguishes Benign Pancreatic Lesions
When performed in tandem, two molecular biology laboratory tests distinguish, with near certainty, pancreatic lesions that mimic early signs of cancer but are completely benign. Serous cystic neoplasms (SCNs) have no malignant potential, but can mimic the following premalignant mucinous cystic lesions: mucinous cystic neoplasm and intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm (IPMN). More...05 Jul 2017
Immunoassay Developed for Acute Typhoid Fever
Salmonelloses are a group of potentially fatal bacteremias caused by different serovars of Salmonella enterica. Typhoid fever (TF) caused by the human-specific serovar S. typhi, is a global health problem, especially in developing countries. More...05 Jul 2017
Reliable Test Sought for Anti-Phospholipid Antibody Syndrome
Using patient-derived antibodies, researchers have succeeded to identify a peptide motif in the protein B2GP1 recognized by antibodies characteristic of the autoimmune disease anti-phospholipid antibody syndrome (APLAS). This is enabling the researchers to develop a more accurate diagnostic assay for patients with this disease, and could also lead to better treatment options. More...04 Jul 2017
Immunoassay Used to Diagnose Polycystic Ovary Syndrome
An enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) has been developed to detect autoantibodies in polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), a method that could pave the way for a quicker, more efficient way to diagnose this elusive condition, where the etiology is unclear. More...30 Jun 2017
Cytokine Profile Differentiates Hantaviral Infections
Hantavirus infection is an acute zoonosis clinically manifesting in two forms: Hemorrhagic Fever with Renal Syndrome (HFRS), caused by Old World hantaviruses, and Hantavirus pulmonary syndrome (HPS), caused by New World hantaviruses. More...29 Jun 2017
