Vascular Disease Plasma Marker Confirmed in Diabetes Patients

Pre-kallikrein has previously been suggested as a marker for diabetic vascular disease of the kidneys, but a new study supports the idea that increased plasma PK levels are an independent risk factor for whole-body diabetic vascular disease, similar to the risks of high triglycerides or high blood pressure in heart disease.  More...

Oral HPVs Associated with Risk of Incident Head and Neck Cancers

A prospective study suggests that detection in the oral cavity of certain human papillomavirus types is associated with higher risk of incident head and neck squamous cell carcinoma, suggesting that the role of HPV in HNSCC may be even more important than currently recognized.  More...
