Automated Fluorescent Microbial Cell Counter Detects Urinary Tract Infection
Urinary tract infections (UTI) accounted for around 400,000 hospitalizations, resulting in an estimated cost burden of approximately USD 2.8 billion in the USA. Between 50% and 60% of adult women will have at least one UTI in their life, and close to 10% of postmenopausal women indicate that they had a UTI in the previous year. More...15 Jul 2020
Geochemistry Test Identifies Osteoporosis Earlier Than Standard Method
In the USA, around 10 million people have osteoporosis and 44 million have low bone density. Osteoporosis affects the bones of around 22 million people in the EU and about 85% of these people are women. It has a huge financial impact, which will increase as the population ages. Osteoporosis can be treated, but early diagnosis is important. More...07 Jul 2020
Diagnostic Assay Developed for Unclassified Severe Combined Immune Deficiency
Severe combined immune deficiency (SCID) is a group of rare hereditary genetic disorders, and is characterized by a total absence of immune system function, including an absence of T-lymphocytes, the white blood cells that play a crucial role in the body's immune defense. More...30 Jun 2020
Increasingly Efficient Serological Tests Developed with Electrochemiluminescence
Diagnostic markers, or biomarkers, are biomolecules (e.g., enzymes, proteins, peptides, and hormones) that can be measured accurately and reproducibly and can precisely predict relevant clinical outcomes or diseases in various populations. More...17 Jun 2020
Fidget Spinner Rapidly Detects Urinary Tract Infections
More than half of all women experience at least one episode of urinary tract infection (UTI) in their lifetime, with men also facing increasing risks of infection as they age. Current detection of UTIs relies on patients reporting symptoms followed by a laboratory culture of the urine for known bacterial culprits, which typically takes a few days. More...16 Jun 2020
