Molecular Test Developed for Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma

The prevalence of nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) is higher in Southeast Asia than other parts of the world, around 35 cases per 100,000. Five-year survival rate of the disease is as high as 95% when it is detected early, but drops to 60% if detected at later stage. Most patients are asymptomatic, and so 80% are diagnosed with advanced disease. More...

RT-PCR Assay Developed to Detect Bloodstream Infections

Rapid detection and identification of a causative pathogen is essential in the treatment of critically ill patients with blood stream infection (BSI), since timely initiation of adequate antibiotic treatment is associated with decreased morbidity, mortality, and possibly reduced healthcare costs. More...

Assay Detects CP Risk in Premature Babies

MicroRNA sequencing has been used for early diagnosis of premature babies with abnormal muscle tone and/or intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH) - symptoms that are considered to be indicators for risk of cerebral palsy. More...

Leprosy Neural Impairment Diagnosis Evaluated by Tests

Leprosy is a chronic infectious disease caused by Mycobacterium leprae, an obligate intracellular parasite with a predilection for infecting peripheral nerves and skin. Leprosy is a current and challenging disease, because it still represents a problem for public health in developing countries. More...

Link Found Between Alcohol, Genes and Heart Failure

Alcoholic cardiomyopathy (ACM) is caused by chronic and excessive alcohol intake. Although moderate levels of alcohol consumption may have some beneficial cardiovascular effects, prolonged and excessive consumption can lead to deleterious consequences including cardiac arrhythmias and a dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) phenotype.

Chromosome Study Leads to Counseling Pregnant Women

Fetuses with a so-called new balanced chromosomal aberration have a higher risk of developing brain disorders such as autism and mental retardation than previously anticipated and the risk is 20% for fetuses with these types of aberrations. More...

Mutations Missed in Congenital Disease Screening

A type of genetic aberration has been identified as the cause of certain neurodevelopmental disorders and congenital diseases, such as autism and congenital heart disease, which are undetectable by conventional genetic testing. More...
