LAMP-Kit Diagnoses Non-Falciparum Malaria
Malaria incidence has recently been declining globally, although in many African countries it is still one of the top health problems and the efforts to control and eradicate malaria will still need a strong diagnostic capacity, which allows any parasitaemic patient to be detected and treated sooner.

Next-Generation Blood Test for Latent TB Submitted to FDA
QuantiFERON-TB Gold Plus, launched in 2016 in over 60 countries worldwide and used to test for tuberculosis (TB) infection in over 600,000 people to date, has now been submitted to the US Food & Drug Administration (FDA) for pre-market approval (PMA). More...24 Jan 2017
Dysbiosis of Urinary Microbiota Positively Correlated with Diabetes
Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) accounts for 90% of diabetes, and T2DM is not due to insufficient use of insulin but due to insufficient insulin secretion and insufficient insulin action. Hospitalization rate for urinary tract infection (UTI) caused by diabetes is over twice as much as those caused by other factors. More...19 Jan 2017
Procalcitonin Screening Helps Provide Early Identification of Sepsis
In a retrospective study of a large and diverse population of critically ill patients, researchers have found that screening for sepsis by procalcitonin (PCT) testing at admission to intensive care unit (ICU) notably reduced the hospitalization length-of-stay and total cost of care. The study clearly suggests that PCT screening on the first day of ICU admission is a potentially important diagnostic tool. More...17 Jan 2017
