Chemical Analysis of Blood Samples Diagnoses Brain Tumors

 Brain tumors tend to have ambiguous symptoms, such as headache or memory problems, and a brain scan is currently the only reliable way of diagnosing them. In recent years, the use of infrared (IR) spectroscopy to analyze disease state in biofluids has been largely employed with promising results. More...

Confidence with the press of a button
The Magnis NGS Prep System is a walkaway automated solution comprised of a benchtop instrument that self-detects and tunes, pre-aliquoted reagents, and pre-set protocols for library preparation that requires minimal staff and NGS expertise. Register here to attend webinar.

Novel Nanosensing Technologies Developed for Exosome Detection and Profiling

Exosomes are extracellular vesicles (EVs) that are produced in the endosomal compartment of most eukaryotic cells. Liquid biopsy technologies have been developed to do high-throughput exosome protein profiling and point-of-care (POC) exosome analysis. More...

Routine Blood Parameters Predict Invasive Aspergillosis Prognosis

Aspergillosis occurs in chronic or acute forms which are clinically very distinct. Most cases of acute aspergillosis occur in patients with severely compromised immune systems, e.g. those undergoing bone marrow transplantation. Symptoms include fever, chills, shock, delirium, seizures, and blood clots. More...

Hematological Ratios Associated with Mortality in Pediatric Trauma Patients

Trauma-related injury as a potential cause of death affects millions of people worldwide, especially in less developed countries and furthermore, it is the leading cause of mortality in pediatric trauma patients. More...

Reliable detection of Aspergillus antigen
The Aspergillus Antigen ELISA provides quantitative determination of Aspergillus-specific galactomannoprotein in patient serum or bronchoalveolar lavage fluid for the diagnosis of invasive aspergillosis.

Increased HbA1c Identifies Rapid Kidney Function Deterioration in Diabetics

Among adults with multiple hospital admissions, those with type 2 diabetes were more likely to have worsening renal function compared with those without diabetes. The association between glycemic status prior to the first hospital presentation with developing adverse renal outcomes overtime in patients with multiple hospital re-admissions has been assessed. More...

Cardiac Biomarkers Identify High-Risk Kidney Disease Patients

Cardiovascular disease (CVD) claims more lives in people with chronic kidney disease (CKD) than complications of kidney disease and this can be explained in part by shared common risk factors including hypertension, diabetes, hyperlipidemia, smoking, and obesity. More...

High Levels of Blood Hormones Raise Prostate Cancer Risk

Men with higher levels of 'free' testosterone and a growth hormone in their blood are more likely to be diagnosed with prostate cancer. Other factors such as older age, ethnicity and a family history of the disease are already known to increase a man's risk of developing prostate cancer. More...
