Low-Cost Genetic Test Can Distinguish Bacterial from Viral Infections
Upon identifying a set of seven relevant genes, a breakthrough rapid blood test has been developed that, with further development and testing, may soon enable physicians to determine if a patient has a bacterial or viral infection. More...19 Jul 2016
New Technique May Provide Low-Cost Pathogen Testing
Researchers are developing a rapid pyrogen-detection stick-test for detecting presence of pathogens and allergens. The test has potential applications in clinical diagnostics as well as in food, pharmaceutical, and hospital environment testing. More...12 Jul 2016
Cardiac Biomarker Increase Associated with Higher Risk of Heart Disease
High-sensitivity cardiac troponin T (hs-cTnT), a protein that can be measured via a blood test, is a biomarker of cardiovascular risk and cardiac troponin is critical to the clinical diagnosis of heart attack, particularly among symptomatic persons with chest pain. More...30 Jun 2016
Testosterone Reference Ranges Vary Widely in Medical Laboratories
The evaluation and management of male hypogonadism should be based on symptoms and on serum testosterone levels and diagnostically this relies on accurate testing and reference values. This circumstance not only affects how clinicians determine treatment, but also whether insurers approve therapy for men with low testosterone levels. More...30 Jun 2016
