Novel Method Developed to Diagnose Buruli Ulcer
A Buruli ulcer is a subcutaneous skin disease listed among the neglected tropical diseases, and early case detection and management is very important to reduce morbidity and the accompanied characteristic disfiguring nature of the disease. More...09 Nov 2016

New Technology Could Help Diagnose Sepsis in Hours
Researchers have developed a microfluidics chip that detected mock-sepsis conditions within a few hours, instead of at least two days by currently used methods. As sepsis left untreated can be fatal in as little as two days, a rapid blood test would provide medical professionals with a critical window of time in which to begin early antibiotics treatment of diagnosed patients.
