Blood Gas Analyzers for POC Validated
Several aspects of pH and blood gas analysis are unique in laboratory analysis, and furthermore, no other test results have such a great and immediate impact on patient care. In addition, it is now possible to carry out further vital biological assays on the same sample. More...15 Jan 2018



Protein Signature Associated with Outcome in Metastatic Melanoma
Clinical results in metastatic melanoma with the antibodies nivolumab and pembrolizumab to anti– programmed cell death protein 1 (PD-1) have led to clinically and statistically significant improvements in progression-free and overall survival compared to alternative first- and second-line therapies.

Lipid Biomarker Concentrations Associated with CVD Risk
Circulating concentrations of lipid biomarkers are consistently associated with cardiovascular disease (CVD) events and thus are considered major indicators of metabolic health, but the evidence for a relationship with cancer risk, however, is not entirely consistent. More...08 Jan 2018

Comprehensive Metabolic Profiling Assessed for Chronic Inflammation
Inflammation is a corporeal response to damaging stimuli associated with the activation of various molecular mechanisms. Both the local and systemic responses initiated by an inflammatory process indicate an imbalance in metabolism in the tissues affected. More...08 Jan 2018
