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
Circulating Cell-Free Nucleosomes Biomarkers Confirmed for Cancer Blood Tests
Studies have shown substantially improved overall survival among individuals screened for colorectal cancer (CRC), which is explained by diagnosis of early stages and prevention of CRC by endoscopic removal of precancerous lesions. More...30 Jun 2016
Noninvasive Test May Predict Severity of Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension
Researchers report that rising blood levels of the hematoma derived growth factor (HDGF) protein are linked to increasing severity of pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH). Their results, using a newly developed ELISA test, showed a dose-response critical for demonstrating preliminary, proof-of-principle research, and could lead to a noninvasive, more specific test for PAH.
