Circulating Trophoblast-Based Noninvasive Prenatal Testing Are Feasible
Circulating cells from the fetus or placenta in a pregnant woman’s blood, primarily trophoblasts and nucleated fetal red blood cells (fnRBCs), have long been appreciated as potential targets for noninvasive prenatal testing (NIPT) and diagnosis. More...26 Dec 2019
A Rapid Method for Isolating Viral DNA-enriched Salivary Exosomes for Diagnosis and Monitoring of Oropharyngeal Cancer
A novel method, based on the combination of microfluidics and acoustics, for concentrating exosomes containing viral DNA from the saliva of oropharyngeal cancer patients was found to be 15 times more sensitive than the current gold standard differential centrifugation method. More...24 Dec 2019
High Performance of Rapid Influenza Diagnostic Test Validated
Influenza is a leading infectious cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Annually, about 5% to 10% of adults and 20% to 30% of children have symptoms of influenza-like illness (ILI), and approximately 650,000 deaths secondary to influenza occur each epidemic season. More...19 Dec 2019
Implement Diagnostics System Improves Infectious Disease Testing
A team of scientists recently began using machine-learning tools and assessed them in a prospective clinical trial to determine whether artificial intelligence could perform better than specialists in clinical test interpretation. More...17 Dec 2019
Vaginitis Tests Offer Improvements Over Gold Standard Methods
Gynecologist visits in the USA are motivated by an inflammation of the vagina called vaginitis. Infectious vaginitis due to bacterial vaginosis (BV), vulvovaginal candidiasis (VVC), and Trichomonas vaginalis accounts for a significant proportion of all gynecologic visits in the USA. More...16 Dec 2019
