Pathogenic Germline Variants Found in Breast Cancer Patients
There is still considerable debate on the value of multigene panel testing for inherited cancer in patients with breast cancer, based on both the prevalence of pathogenic/likely pathogenic (P/LP) variants and any therapeutic implications from genetic test results. More...18 Sep 2019
Gut Bacteria Linked to High Blood Pressure and Depression
The microbiome is the genetic material of all the microbes, bacteria, fungi, protozoa and viruses that live on and inside the human body. The number of genes in all the microbes in one person's microbiome is 200 times the number of genes in the human genome. More...17 Sep 2019
Vaping Illness Characterized by Lipid-Laden Cells in Lungs
Lung scans from patients with vaping illness look like a serious viral or bacterial pneumonia, but those tests come back negative. Instead, diagnosis has been based on exclusion of known causes of similar respiratory illnesses combined with knowing the patient has a history of vaping. More...17 Sep 2019
New Blood Test Helps Detect Brain Injury in Minutes
After traumatic brain injury (TBI), plasma concentration of glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) correlates with intracranial injury visible on computerized axial tomography (CT) scan. Some patients with suspected TBI with normal CT findings show pathology on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). More...11 Sep 2019
CTC Purification Enables Identification of Cancer-Linked Genetic Arrangements
The use of circulating tumor cells (CTCs) as a surrogate tumor source for molecular profiling of disease offers a potential noninvasive diagnostic solution for understanding underlying tumor biology, guiding treatment interventions, and monitoring disease progression. More...29 Aug 2019
