Tissue-Imaging Technology Enables Real-Time Diagnostics

A new microscope system can image living tissue in real time and in molecular detail, without any chemicals or dyes. The system is called simultaneous label-free autofluorescence multi-harmonic microscopy (SLAM). More...

Method Identifies Cancer in Early Onset Diabetics

It is unclear how long pancreatic ductal adenocarcinomas (PDACs) are present before diagnosis. Patients with PDAC usually develop hyperglycemia and diabetes before the tumor is identified. More...

Fine-Scale Histologic Features Estimated at Low Magnification

Whole-slide imaging has ushered in a new era of technology that has fostered the use of computational image analysis for diagnostic support and has begun to transfer the act of analyzing a slide to computer monitors. More...

Vitamin D Levels Linked to Colorectal Cancer Risk

Experimental and epidemiological studies suggest a protective role for vitamin D in colorectal carcinogenesis, but evidence is inconclusive. Circulating 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25(OH)D) concentrations that minimize risk are unknown. More...

Vaginal Bacteria Linked to Cervical Cancer

High-risk human papillomavirus (HPV) infection is a well-established risk factor for cervical cancer, but there are likely other factors within the local microenvironment that contribute to cervical carcinogenesis. More...

Biochip Developed to Detect Prostate Cancer Cells

In men with prostate cancer, some tumor cells exit the prostate gland and circulate in the blood. Detecting these cells could enable diagnosis at an earlier stage or help doctors assess whether treatment is effective. More...

Image: Mycobacterium chimaera colonies growing on agar; the infections can cause serious injury, including pneumonia and death. Of particular concern is that patients infected with M. chimaera may not develop symptoms and signs of infection for months to years after initial exposure, making the infections difficult to detect and diagnose (Photo courtesy of the CDC).

Post-Cardiac Surgery Infection Associated with Different Diseases

Mycobacterium chimaera infection following cardiac surgery, due to contaminated cardiopulmonary bypass heater-cooler units (HCUs), has been reported worldwide. However, the spectrum of clinical disease remains poorly understood. More...
