Genetic Mutations Linked to Rare Multiple Bowel Tumors
Most people with colorectal cancer will develop one primary tumor, which may then multiply and spread; however, in around 2% to 5% of colorectal cancer (CRC) cases, two primary tumors will originate and develop independently, known as synchronous colorectal cancer. More...28 Jul 2016
New Methods Detect Early Onset of Alzheimer's Disease
New methods to examine the brain and spinal fluid heighten the chance of early diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease and this may have important implications for early detection of the disease, the choice of drug treatment and the inclusion of patients in clinical trials. More...28 Jul 2016

Bacterial Infection Identified as Cause of Overactive Bladder Syndrome
Overactive Bladder (OAB) is currently characterized by symptoms of urgency, with or without urgency incontinence, with increased frequency, and nocturia, and in some cases pain, in the absence of urinary tract infection (UTI) or other defined underlying pathology. More...28 Jul 2016

Simple Method Developed to Characterize Immune Cells in Tumors
Despite recent achievements in the development of cancer immunotherapies, only a small group of patients typically respond to them and therefore predictive markers of disease course and response to immunotherapy are urgently needed. More...27 Jul 2016

New Genetic Mutation Linked to Osteonecrosis of the Hip
Osteonecrosis or 'bone death' of the femoral head is a disease caused by interruption of blood flow in the hip bone and patients, many of whom are under the age of 25, experience pain and the bone and surrounding joint collapse. More...27 Jul 2016


Aggressive Breast Cancer Identified with Fluorescent Technique
Ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) of the breast is the most common type of non-invasive breast cancer and in DCIS, epithelial cells proliferate within ducts, which are surrounded by a double layer of myoepithelial cells and basement membranes. More...21 Jul 2016
