Giemsa Stain Outperforms Urease Test for Helicobacter Pylori Diagnosis

More than 50% of the worldwide population is infected by Helicobacter pylori which is harbored in their upper gastrointestinal tract. Despite having chronic gastritis, most people infected by H. pylori are asymptomatic and have no specific clinical signs and symptoms. More...

Ultra-Fast Cycling for Multiplexed Cellular Fluorescence Imaging

In the treatment of tumors, microenvironment plays an important role. It often contains immune cells that are so changed that they promote tumor growth. Until now, analyses of these dynamic changes with conventional biopsies and tissue sections could take days to weeks, or not occur at all prior to treatment. More...

Novel Rapid Test Developed for Detecting Carbapenemase

As a potent β-lactamase, carbapenemase can degrade almost all β-lactam antimicrobial drugs, including the carbapenems, regarded as the last line of therapy for many life-threatening infections. If uncontrolled, the spread of these carbapenemases is expected to increase therapeutic failure and leave many patients with no effective treatment options. More...

Novel Method Developed to Estimate LDL Particle Size

Premature atherosclerotic disease commonly occurs in individuals with atherogenic dyslipidemia who share a phenotype characterized by centripetal obesity, insulin resistance, and physical inactivity. Cardiovascular diseases (CVD) are the leading cause of mortality in the Western World being subclinical atherosclerosis the triggering factor for most of these events. More...

Hybrid Liquid Biopsy Platform Enables Tracking and Monitoring of Circulating Tumor Cells

By creating a hybrid microfluidic liquid biopsy platform that incorporates atomic force microscopy (AFM), cancer researchers have captured and characterized circulating tumor cells (CTCs), a technique which should prove useful in the diagnosis and prognosis of prostate cancer as well as other forms of cancer. More...

Novel Nanofluidic Device Traps and Concentrates Pathogenic Bacteria

 A nanofluidic device containing stacked magnetic beads of different sizes has been developed to efficiently trap, concentrate, and retrieve Escherichia coli (E. coli) bacteria from liquid suspensions. More...

EGFR Mutation Assay Cartridges Evaluated

 Lung cancer remains the leading cause of cancer deaths. The management of lung cancer has been aided by the better understanding of molecular mechanisms involved in its initiation and progression and increased usage of molecular testing. More...
