Saliva-based Test Detects Infectious Subclinical Malaria
Low-density subclinical infection with Plasmodium falciparum among defined population subsets has been shown to be an important but cryptic facet of malaria transmission. Typically, these individuals are not readily detected by currently available point-of-need (PON) rapid diagnostic tests (RDTs) or microscopy. More...27 Feb 2019
Direct Blood PCR Detects Thromboembolism-Associated Mutations
Routine genetic testing is recommended in several clinical circumstances, particularly in patients with venous thrombosis at younger age, a strong family history of thrombotic disease, or in women with a history of venous thrombosis during pregnancy. More...11 Feb 2019
Infant HIV Near Point-of-Care Test Field Evaluated
Perinatal human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection contributes to an increase in morbidity and mortality among children in their first years of life, and lack of antiretroviral treatment (ART) and late ART initiation has seen more than half of the infants infected with HIV die before their second birthday. More...30 Jan 2019
Genetic Methods Rapidly Diagnoses Huntington's Disease
People with Huntington's disease suffer from jerky body movements and decreasing mental abilities. The condition usually leads to death 15 to 20 years after diagnosis. The cause of the disease is a region in the Huntingtin gene (HTT) that is absent in healthy people. More...23 Jan 2019
Urinary Detection Method Developed for Prostate Cancer
Prostate cancer (PCa) is one of the most common types of malignancy worldwide and is the second leading cause of cancer death among men. This cancer tends to be asymptomatic and slow growing, often with onset in young men, but usually not detected until the age of 40 to 50 years. More...22 Jan 2019
