Prostate Cancer Diagnosed Better Using Artificial Intelligence
Prostate cancer is a frequently occurring type of cancer, but not always aggressive: more men die with prostate cancer than from prostate cancer. However, its treatment has many consequences for the quality of life of patients, so determining aggressiveness is an important step in choosing a treatment. More...22 Jan 2020


Dual Nucleic Acid Template Assay Developed for Cancer
Massive parallel sequencing or massively parallel sequencing is any of several high-throughput approaches to DNA sequencing using the concept of massively parallel processing; it is also called next-generation sequencing or second-generation sequencing. More...16 Jan 2020

Rapid Diagnostic Tests for Chagas Disease Field Evaluated
Chagas disease, caused by infection with the protozoan parasite Trypanosoma cruzi, is the neglected tropical disease exerting a highest burden in the Western hemisphere. It is estimated that there are around seven million people affected worldwide, the majority of them living in Latin America where the insect vectors that transmit the infection are endemic.

Fast and Inexpensive Device Captures and Identifies Viruses
Currently, virologists estimate that 1.67 million unknown viruses are in animals, a number of which can be transmitted to humans. Known viruses, such as H5N1, Zika and Ebola have caused widespread illness and death. Early detection could halt virus spread by enabling rapid deployment of countermeasures. More...07 Jan 2020

Paper-Based Test Could Diagnose Lyme Disease at Early Stages
Caused by the tick-borne spirochete Borrelia burgdorferi, Lyme disease (LD) is the most common vector-borne infectious disease in North America and Europe and timely diagnosis and treatment are effective in preventing disease progression. More...01 Jan 2020
