Genetic Mutation Identified for Childhood Kidney Cancer

The underlying mechanism that causes aneuploidy might be important in understanding cancer risk and not solely having the wrong number of chromosomes in a cell. It is an important development that provides valuable information about the fundamental biology of cancer. More...

Rapid Molecular Test Diagnoses Multiple Sclerosis

A pioneering blood test has been introduced that speeds up multiple sclerosis (MS) diagnosis to just seven days. Current testing methods such as magnetic resonance imaging scans take much longer to reach a diagnosis because they rely on measuring the progress of irreversible neurological damage. More...

Molecular Test Rapidly Diagnoses Sepsis

Rapid diagnosis of sepsis in hospitalized patients is crucial because in severe cases, there is an average 7.6% decrease in survival rate per hour from the onset of low blood pressure without effective antimicrobial treatment. More...

Rare Infection in Transplant Recipients Linked to Donors

The way in which heart and lung transplant recipients acquired a specific species of bacteria, Mycoplasma hominis, had been previously undefined, and the bacterium was difficult to test for and detect. Originally, this bacterium was considered to reside exclusively in, and be a potential pathogen of the area of the reproductive and urinary organs. More...

Biomarkers Revealed for Cognitive Impairment in PD

Biomarkers have been identified that could predict the cognitive impairment typical of Parkinson's Disease (PD), a neurodegenerative disease that affects about half a million people in the USA, with approximately 50,000 people receive a PD diagnosis every year. More...

Untethered Proteins Could Help Diagnose MKD

Mevalonate Kinase Deficiency (MKD), also known as HIDS (hyper IgD syndrome), is a rare genetic condition that affects approximately 200 individuals worldwide. It is a spectrum of disease, with complications that range from mild to severe. MKD is one of more than 8,000 known rare and genetic conditions, which, although individually uncommon, collectively affect up to 10% of the population. More...

Haptoglobin Genotyping Test Enables Key Diabetes Treatment

A breakthrough ELISA kit, based on the Haptoglobin 2-2 (Hp 2-2) protein marker, can identify diabetes patients at higher risk of developing lethal cardiovascular disease or renal failure, thereby enabling them to take Vitamin E, a nutritional supplement shown to be of great benefit to them but posing harm to the remaining non HP 2-2 diabetic population. A CE mark application for the test is currently in progress, with FDA certification planned for the US market. More...
