Immunochromatographic Test Evaluated to Diagnose Schistosomiasis

The Kato-Katz stool smear is the standard test for the diagnosis of Schistosoma mansoni infection but suffers from low sensitivity when infections intensities are moderate to low and therefore, misdiagnosed individuals remain untreated and contribute to the disease transmission.  More...

New Approach to Aid in Diagnosing Lower Back Pain Revealed

In a clinical study, scientists have identified a potential new method, based on biochemical profiling of serum for circulating cytokines, that may assist in refining personalized diagnoses of disc diseases and possibly even in distinguishing between severe and mild conditions.   More...

Reduced PSA Screening May Delay Treatment for Earlier Onset Prostate Cancers

The number of prostate needle biopsies has been reduced and patients who do undergo the procedure are significantly more likely to be diagnosed with high risk disease, suggesting that over-diagnosis and overtreatment may have been reduced.  More...
