New Guidelines Suggest Reduced Screening of Urine Cultures
Newly released diagnostic guidelines argue against antibiotic treatment of asymptomatic bacteriuria, which the guidelines consider to be an important opportunity for decreasing inappropriate antimicrobial use that promotes development of resistance by pathogens. More...01 Apr 2019
Methods Compared to Diagnose Schistosomiasis Japonica
Zoonotic schistosomiasis in Asia, caused by Schistosoma japonicum, remains a major public health concern in China and the Philippines. If left untreated, it will develop into a chronic condition characterized by hepatosplenic disease and impaired physical and cognitive development. More...28 Mar 2019
Genetically Encoded Sensor Isolates Hidden Leukemic Stem Cells
All stem cells can multiply, proliferate and differentiate and because of these qualities, and leukemic stem cells are the most malignant of all leukemic cells. Understanding how leukemic stem cells are regulated has become an important area of cancer studies. More...26 Mar 2019
Oral Bacteria Linked to More Aggressive Tumors
Pancreatic cystic neoplasms (PCN) are increasingly detected in the general population. They comprise a clinically challenging entity with potential to progress to invasive cancer. The disease is often discovered late, which means that in most cases the prognosis is poor. More...26 Mar 2019
