Unnecessary Endoscopies Could Be Avoided with Fecal Blood Test
The majority of primary care patients referred for bowel endoscopy do not have significant colorectal disease (SCD), and are unnecessarily exposed to a small but realistic risk of severe endoscopy-associated complications. More...14 Oct 2016
Changes in Eye Tissue May Enable Early Detection of Brain Diseases
Research with mouse models has shown that at least some diseases of the central nervous system (CNS) manifest as pathological changes in the retina of the eye and that these changes may be detected earlier than brain changes. The findings suggest that eye examination could be used for minimally invasive screening for these diseases. More...11 Oct 2016

Genomic Fingerprinting Helps Predict Prostate Tumor Aggressiveness
Next-generation sequencing is revealing genomic heterogeneity in localized prostate cancer (CaP), but incomplete sampling of CaP multiclonality has limited the implications for molecular subtyping, stratification, and systemic treatment. More...06 Oct 2016

Genetic Cause Deciphered for Inherited Nerve Damage Afflicting Older Adults
An international team of researchers has identified a gene, MME, with a causative link to late-onset autosomal dominant axonal polyneuropathies. Patients initially develop loss of sensation and pain, then the illness can advance rapidly and lead to paralysis, inability to walk, and wheelchair dependency. More...05 Oct 2016
