New Blood Test Approach Helps Identify or Rule-Out Heart Attack
Two new studies have suggested that modified algorithms using the high-sensitivity cardiac troponin I (hs-CTrop-I) assay could help more quickly identify or exclude the diagnosis of a heart attack for patients reporting to an emergency department (ED) with suspected cardiac chest pain.

New Skin Test Developed For Tuberculosis Infection
A new skin test for tuberculosis infection has been tested and has proven safe, easy to administer and accurate in two Phase III clinical trials. The test is administered like a tuberculin skin test (TST), and results are interpreted by measuring the size of the skin induration two or three days later. More...02 Jun 2016
Early-Detection Urine Test Is Effective for Lyme Disease
Prompt antibiotic treatment of early stage Lyme Borreliosis (LB) prevents progression to severe multisystem disease and there is a clinical need to improve the diagnostic specificity of early stage Lyme assays in the period prior to the mounting of a robust serology response. More...01 Jun 2016
Dengue Rapid Diagnostic Tests Recycled For Serotyping
Dengue virus infection causes major public health problems in tropical and subtropical areas, but in many endemic areas, inadequate access to laboratory facilities is a major obstacle to surveillance and study of dengue epidemiology. More...25 May 2016
Potential Noninvasive Biomarker of EoE Disease Activity Identified
Researchers have identified a potential blood-based marker of disease activity for the severe and often painful food allergic disease eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) – possibly leading to a blood test, which could spare EoE patients, often children, the discomfort and risk of the currently used invasive endoscopic monitoring procedures.
