Portable Blood Ammonia Detector Developed

Ammonia is a natural product of digestion that is usually processed into urea by the liver and passed out of the body in urine. Too much ammonia in the blood can cause mental and physical dysfunction and is a concern for people with liver disease or genetic conditions that hinder ammonia metabolism. More...

Micro-Lab on a Chip Detects Blood Type Within Minutes

Blood transfusion, if performed promptly, is a potentially life-saving intervention for someone losing a lot of blood. However, blood comes in several types, some of which are incompatible with others. Transfusing an incompatible blood type can severely harm a patient. More...

Methods Compared Classifying Intensity of Soil-Transmitted Helminth Infections

Soil-transmitted helminths (Ascaris lumbricoides, Trichuris trichiura) and the hookworms, Necator americanus and Ancylostoma duodenale affect one quarter of the world population, and are responsible for the loss of more than three million disability-adjusted life years (DALYs). More...

Automated Fluorescent Microbial Cell Counter Detects Urinary Tract Infection

Urinary tract infections (UTI) accounted for around 400,000 hospitalizations, resulting in an estimated cost burden of approximately USD 2.8 billion in the USA. Between 50% and 60% of adult women will have at least one UTI in their life, and close to 10% of postmenopausal women indicate that they had a UTI in the previous year. More...

Geochemistry Test Identifies Osteoporosis Earlier Than Standard Method

In the USA, around 10 million people have osteoporosis and 44 million have low bone density. Osteoporosis affects the bones of around 22 million people in the EU and about 85% of these people are women. It has a huge financial impact, which will increase as the population ages. Osteoporosis can be treated, but early diagnosis is important. More...

Diagnostic Assay Developed for Unclassified Severe Combined Immune Deficiency

Severe combined immune deficiency (SCID) is a group of rare hereditary genetic disorders, and is characterized by a total absence of immune system function, including an absence of T-lymphocytes, the white blood cells that play a crucial role in the body's immune defense. More...
