Method Developed Predicts Disease Activity in Multiple Sclerosis
Multiple sclerosis, or MS, is an inflammatory disease of the central nervous system that mainly affects young adults and it is not currently possible to know which individuals with multiple sclerosis, a life-long condition, risk developing severe disease. More...28 Sep 2016
Novel Turbidimetric Immunoassay Evaluated for Fecal Calprotectin
Calprotectin is a multifunctional protein that plays an important role in the diagnosis and follow-up of inflammatory bowel disease and high levels of calprotectin in stool samples are associated with inflammation of the intestinal tract. More...28 Sep 2016
Optimal Rule-Out Biomarker Strategy Developed for Acute MI
Assessment of patients presenting to the Emergency Department (ED) with symptoms suggestive of acute coronary syndrome (ACS) represents a major clinical challenge, since the majority of patients do not have a final diagnosis of acute myocardial infarction (AMI). More...27 Sep 2016
Field Performance for Rapid Detection of Influenza Virus Analyzed
Clinical differentiation of influenza A virus from infections caused by influenza B virus and the other viruses is unreliable, however effective antiviral treatment is only available for influenza A virus infections and must be administered early in the course of disease to be effective. More...27 Sep 2016
POC Diagnostic Tool Introduced for Allergic Disorder Biomarker
Identifying patients with uncontrolled asthma mediated by immunoglobulin E remains an area of high unmet need and it is estimated that in Europe, more than 30 million people are affected by asthma, and approximately half of patients remain uncontrolled. More...20 Sep 2016
Sensitive Clinical Marker Defined for Ulcerative Colitis Evolution
The two main subtypes of inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD), Crohn’s disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC) are characterized by episodes of inflammatory activity and remission and determination of disease activity remains challenging, with most clinical scores correlating poorly with the inflammatory state. More...20 Sep 2016
Combined Use of Assays Identifies Cancer Patient Response to Crizotinib
In screening of a large cohort for anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) fusions through both fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) and immunohistochemistry (IHC) assays, researchers found many non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients who had negative and atypical FISH patterns accompanied with positive IHC results, who showed response to crizotinib treatment. More...19 Sep 2016
