Rapid Diagnostic Tests Evaluated for Chronic Chagas Disease Patients
Chagas is a disease caused by the parasite Trypanosoma cruzi, and is one of the most important public health concerns affecting the population of Latin America. This disease presents an acute phase that generally goes undiagnosed and a chronic phase with cardiac manifests principally, is diagnosed through serological tests that are generally not available.

Selux Diagnostics, Inc.’s (Boston, MA, USA) Next Generation Phenotyping (NGP) platform has received Breakthrough Device Designation from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for positive blood culture and sterile body fluid samples. More...05 Oct 2021
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.

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
