Urinary Lipoarabinomannan Assay Screens for Active Tuberculosis

Symptom-based screening misses approximately one-quarter of active tuberculosis (TB) cases among human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-infected adults, and a more recent study suggested this might be as high as 76% of active TB cases in western South Africa. More...

New Technology Could Help Diagnose Sepsis in Hours

Researchers have developed a microfluidics chip that detected mock-sepsis conditions within a few hours, instead of at least two days by currently used methods. As sepsis left untreated can be fatal in as little as two days, a rapid blood test would provide medical professionals with a critical window of time in which to begin early antibiotics treatment of diagnosed patients.
