Simple Bile Acid Blood Test Predicts Stillbirth Risk
Intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy (ICP) is caused by a build-up of bile acids in the blood, and symptoms include pruritus. ICP is a liver disorder affecting approximately 5,300 pregnancies annually in the UK, more than 14 every day. More...25 Feb 2019
HDL Cholesterol Measurement Unaffected by Serum Amyloid A
High-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL) is known as the anti-atherogenic lipoprotein. Epidemiological studies have shown that low plasma concentrations of HDL are associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular events. More...25 Feb 2019
Markers in Male Reproductive Impairments Causing Miscarriages
Recurrent pregnancy loss, (RPL) affecting 1% to 2% of couples, is defined as ≥3 consecutive pregnancy losses before 20-week' gestation. Women with RPL are routinely screened for etiological factors, but routine screening of male partners is not currently recommended. More...21 Feb 2019
Sweat Chloride Quantified Using Capillary Electrophoresis
Cystic fibrosis (CF) is the less rare and severe genetic disease among the European population. Biochemical diagnosis of CF is based on the demonstration of increased chloride concentration in sweat samples, obtained during the sweat test (ST). More...18 Feb 2019
HDL Subclasses Linked to Mortality in Heart Failure Patients
Heart failure (HF) is a frequent cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide and is defined by the as an abnormality of the cardiac structure and function, resulting in a diminished ability of the heart to maintain optimal perfusion of metabolizing tissues. More...11 Feb 2019
