Genetic Variant Identified As Better Marker for CV Disease
A newly identified subset of a known genetic variant found primarily in individuals of South Asian descent may be a better marker for carriers of heart dysfunction in this population and that individuals with this genetic variant are more likely to develop early signs of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy.

Amyloid Blood Biomarker Detects Alzheimer's Disease
There is, as yet, no cure for Alzheimer's disease. It is often argued that progress in drug research has been hampered by the fact that the disease can only be diagnosed when it is too late for an effective intervention. Alzheimer's disease is thought to begin long before patients show typical symptoms like memory loss. More...17 Apr 2018
Confocal Fluorescence Microscopy Used for Rapid Tissue Evaluation
Optical imaging techniques are currently available for imaging tissues without the need for any type of extensive tissue preparation. There are several applications for their potential use in surgical pathology practice. More...16 Apr 2018
Sampling Device Increases Detection of Barrett’s Esophagus
Esophageal adenocarcinoma, one of the most fatal and fastest growing cancers in the USA, can be prevented if detected at a precancerous stage. In Barrett’s esophagus (BE), esophageal squamous mucosa is replaced by metaplastic columnar mucosa predisposed to developing esophageal adenocarcinoma (EAC). More...12 Apr 2018
Aggressive Meningioma Linked to Transcription Factor Activity
Meningioma, a cancer of the cerebral and spinal meninges, is the most common primary CNS tumor in the USA. Meningioma is the most common primary intracranial tumor, but the molecular drivers of aggressive meningioma are incompletely understood. More...12 Apr 2018
Gut Microbiome Analysis Predicts Hospitalizations in Cirrhosis
Cirrhosis is a leading cause of mortality and healthcare expenditure due to hospitalizations worldwide. Bacterial products such as endotoxin play a key role in the development of a proinflammatory milieu and disease progression in cirrhosis. More...11 Apr 2018
