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
Enhanced Immunoassay Validated for NGAL

Blood Test Predicts Onset of Huntington's Disease
Huntington's disease (HD) is a fatal genetic neurological disease. It usually develops in adulthood and causes abnormal involuntary movements, psychiatric symptoms and dementia and approximately 10,000 people in the UK have HD with around 25,000 at risk. More...21 Jun 2017
Blood Test Offers Improved Breast Cancer Detection
Breast cancer is predicted to be the second leading cause of cancer deaths in the USA women. Approximately 232,000 cases of invasive breast cancer and 60,000 cases of ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) are diagnosed and 40,000 deaths occur annually. More...16 Jun 2017
New Test Accurately Detects Latent HIV
The ability of the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) to lie dormant in a "reservoir" of CD4 cells has been the main obstacle to finding a cure; once a patient starts antiretroviral therapy, it becomes very important to measure the level of viremia, and whether the virus can replicate. More...14 Jun 2017
