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...

Quick Test Detects Inflammation in Diabetic Patients

A new kit has been developed that will allow doctors to find out within minutes if diabetic patients are suffering from inflammation. Current procedures require patients to wait for several hours for the results obtained from the conventional full blood count test. More...

Anti-Treponema Immunohistochemistry Cross-Reactivity Reported with Non-Treponema Spirochetes

Syphilis has different histopathologic presentations, and it can mimic a significant number of entities while human intestinal spirochetosis is characterized by the presence of a layer of spirochetes adherent to the apical epithelial surface of the colorectal mucosa. More...

Increased Serum Cytokine Concentrations Reported in Guillain-Barré Syndrome

Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS) is an acquired demyelinating peripheral neuropathy and it has been shown that macrophage activation contribute to the pathogenesis of GBS. Therefore macrophage-mediated factors could be the potential markers for disease diagnosis and status of GBS. More...

Effectiveness of PD-L1 Tests Compared for Non-Small-Cell Lung Cancer

In a recent study, clinical researchers compared performance of the 4 available assays for the tumor-promoting protein PD-L1 as a biomarker for assessing non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). They found that one assay failed to result in comparable levels of PD-L1, while the three other assays resulted in comparable levels. More...

Screening for Latent Tuberculosis Infection Recommended

Tuberculosis remains an important preventable disease, including active tuberculosis infection, which may be infectious and latent infection (LTBI), which is asymptomatic and not infectious, but can later reactivate and progress to active disease. More...

Method Developed Predicts Disease Activity in Multiple Sclerosis

Multiple sclerosis, or MS, is an inflammatory disease of the central nervous system that mainly affects young adults and it is not currently possible to know which individuals with multiple sclerosis, a life-long condition, risk developing severe disease. More...
