Automating Blood Smears Developed for Easier Malaria Diagnosis

Blood smears are used in diagnosis for a variety of hematological disorders, such as anemia and leukemia. They are also the preferred method of diagnosis of parasitic infections, such as malaria and filariasis in developing world laboratories. More...

High-Speed Fluorescence Image-Enabled Cell Sorting Tested

Cell sorting through flow cytometry is a technique that enables scientists to identify and sort individual cells based on specific characteristics of each cell in order to study them in more detail, evaluate how each cell may react to a new drug or perform other single cell studies. More...

Immuno-CRISPR Assay Helps Diagnose Early Kidney Transplant Rejection

When a patient receives a kidney transplant, doctors carefully monitor them for signs of rejection in several ways, including biopsy. However, this procedure is invasive and can only detect issues at a late stage. More...

MCDA-LFB Assay Developed for Rapid Detection of Legionnaires’ Disease

Legionella pneumophila is an opportunistic waterborne pathogen of significant public health problems, which can cause serious human respiratory diseases (Legionnaires’ disease). Legionnaires’ disease is characterized by severe lung infection symptoms, including severe pneumonia with a high fatality rate. More...

Nomograms Including Rapid Antigen Test Detects Primary Bladder Cancer

Urinary bladder cancer (BC) is the tenth most prevalent cancer affecting mainly the elderly and men. The suspicion of BC often arises after the detection of microscopic or macroscopic (gross) hematuria during a patient’s examination. More...

3D Imaging Method Determines Prostate Cancer Aggressiveness

Prostate cancer is the most common cancer for men and, for men in the USA, and it is the second leading cause of death. Prostate cancer treatment planning is largely dependent upon examination of core-needle biopsies. The microscopic architecture of the prostate glands forms the basis for prognostic grading by pathologists. More...
