Urine Test Allows for Rapid Preeclampsia Diagnosis

Hypertensive disorders affect 15% of pregnancies and account for one quarter of the antenatal admissions. Preeclampsia (PE) is a multisystem disorder specific to human pregnancy, and its incidence varies from 5% to 60% of gestations, depending on maternal co-morbidities. More...

Reformulated Influenza Rapid Test Made Available

Influenza is a viral infection of the upper respiratory system, which includes the nose, bronchial tubes, and lungs. Influenza can make people of any age ill. Although most people, including children, are ill with influenza for less than a week, some have a much more serious illness and may need to be hospitalized. Influenza may also lead to pneumonia or death. More...

New Microfluidics Device Detects Cancer Cells in Blood

The ability to successfully isolate cancer cells is a crucial step in enabling liquid biopsy where cancer could be detected through a simple blood draw. This would eliminate the discomfort and cost of tissue biopsies, which use needles or surgical procedures as part of cancer diagnosis. More...
