Immunoassays Could Predict Drug Failure in Arthritis Patients
Biologic drugs have dramatically improved the long-term health of people with severe rheumatoid arthritis reducing symptoms as well as joint damage and disability, but in about one in five patients the treatment stops working after a few months limiting their effectiveness. More...20 Jul 2015
Measurement of Calcium-Binding Protein Diagnoses Intracranial Hemorrhage
Cranial computed tomography scans and hospital admission are increasingly performed to rule out intracranial hemorrhage in patients after minor head injury, particularly in older patients and in those receiving antiplatelet therapy. More...19 Jul 2015
Blood Test Biomarker Differentiates Early Stage Pancreatic Cancer
A new biomarker that successfully differentiated patients with pancreatic cancer from those with another pancreatic disease could lead to a blood test that detects pancreatic cancer early enough for curative surgery to be feasible. More...13 Jul 2015
Powerful Innovations in Diagnostics Unveiled at EuroMedLab 2015
New systems presented by Roche include a new standard for immunology testing, an integrated platform for hematology diagnostics, and a high-throughput analyzer to perform HbA1c tests for blood glucose management. Also, evidence was presented for a high-sensitivity cardiac troponin test to provide earlier and more accurate diagnosis of heart attacks. More...30 Jun 2015
