Novel Tool Developed to Detect and Identify Pathogens
Pathogens in clinical or wildlife settings samples of blood or saliva, for example, are particularly challenging to isolate, since they can easily make up less than one one-millionth of a sample, especially in early stages of an infection, when concentrations are still low and detection is most critical for patients.

Gut Bacteria Are Possible Indicators of Colon Cancer Risk
Colorectal cancer (CRC), also known as bowel cancer, colon cancer, or rectal cancer, is the development of cancer from the colon or rectum. Signs and symptoms may include blood in the stool, a change in bowel movements, weight loss, and fatigue. More...28 Sep 2021
Certest Offers Real-Time PCR Assays for Fast Detection of MDR Bacterial Infections
CerTest Biotec (Zaragoza, Spain; www.certest.es) has joined the fight against multidrug resistant strains (MDR) bacterial infections by developing real-time PCR assays for the fast detection of genes or punctual mutations that confer resistance to antibiotics from both Gram-positive and Gram-negative pathogens. More...23 Sep 2021
Blood Testing Distinguishes Benign Tumors from Precancerous Condition
The leading cause of mortality for patients with the neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) cancer predisposition syndrome is the development of malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumor (MPNST), an aggressive soft tissue sarcoma. In the setting of NF1, this cancer type frequently arises from within its common and benign precursor, plexiform neurofibroma (PN). More...15 Sep 2021
Microbiological Features of Mucormycosis Determined in Critically Ill Patients
Mucormycosis is a rare invasive fungal infection with high mortality in patients with severe underlying predisposing factors causing immunosuppression. The exact incidence of mucormycosis and the optimal therapeutic approach is difficult to determine, especially in severe cases, due to the rarity of the disease. More...08 Sep 2021
Dengue Patients’ Hemoglobin Concentrations Compared by POC and CBC
Dengue is a mosquito-borne viral infection that is mainly found in tropical and sub-tropical climates. The natural history of dengue has the unique characteristic of plasma leakage that results in hemoconcentration as well as vasculopathy and thrombocytopenia that result in bleeding.
