Simple Test Improves Treatment for Colon Cancer Patients

Colorectal cancer is the fourth most common cancer in the USA and the second deadliest. There are four primary stages of colon cancer. Generally, with stage 2, the cancer has not spread to nearby lymph nodes or distant organs but has grown into or through the wall of the colon. More...

Combined Molecular Test Distinguishes Benign Pancreatic Lesions

When performed in tandem, two molecular biology laboratory tests distinguish, with near certainty, pancreatic lesions that mimic early signs of cancer but are completely benign. Serous cystic neoplasms (SCNs) have no malignant potential, but can mimic the following premalignant mucinous cystic lesions: mucinous cystic neoplasm and intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm (IPMN). More...

Immunoassay Developed for Acute Typhoid Fever

Salmonelloses are a group of potentially fatal bacteremias caused by different serovars of Salmonella enterica. Typhoid fever (TF) caused by the human-specific serovar S. typhi, is a global health problem, especially in developing countries. More...

Image: In autoimmune diseases, the immune system wrongly identifies its “enemy,” and produces antibodies that attack the patient’s own cells. One of these diseases, the anti-phospholipid antibody syndrome (APS), is still poorly understood, even though it can have serious consequences (Photo courtesy of the University of Geneva).

Reliable Test Sought for Anti-Phospholipid Antibody Syndrome

Using patient-derived antibodies, researchers have succeeded to identify a peptide motif in the protein B2GP1 recognized by antibodies characteristic of the autoimmune disease anti-phospholipid antibody syndrome (APLAS). This is enabling the researchers to develop a more accurate diagnostic assay for patients with this disease, and could also lead to better treatment options. More...

Immunoassay Used to Diagnose Polycystic Ovary Syndrome

An enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) has been developed to detect autoantibodies in polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), a method that could pave the way for a quicker, more efficient way to diagnose this elusive condition, where the etiology is unclear. More...

Cytokine Profile Differentiates Hantaviral Infections

Hantavirus infection is an acute zoonosis clinically manifesting in two forms: Hemorrhagic Fever with Renal Syndrome (HFRS), caused by Old World hantaviruses, and Hantavirus pulmonary syndrome (HPS), caused by New World hantaviruses. More...

Image: The Gentian NGAL Immunoassay is a new particle-enhanced turbidimetric immunoassay (PETIA) for in vitro diagnostic testing of neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL) in human urine and plasma samples (Photo courtesy of Gentian).

Enhanced Immunoassay Validated for NGAL

The ectopic expression of Neutrophil Gelatinase-Associated Lipocalin (NGAL) has been reported in patients with various malignancies such as kidney, colorectal, gastric, pancreatobiliary, hepatic, breast, gynecological and hematologic cancers. More...
