Highly Accurate Method Developed Predicts Postpartum Diabetes
Gestational diabetes is defined as glucose intolerance that is first identified during pregnancy and it occurs in 3% to 13% of all pregnant women, and increases a woman's risk of developing type 2 diabetes by 20% to 50% percent within five years after pregnancy. More...06 Jul 2016
Cardiac Biomarker Increase Associated with Higher Risk of Heart Disease
High-sensitivity cardiac troponin T (hs-cTnT), a protein that can be measured via a blood test, is a biomarker of cardiovascular risk and cardiac troponin is critical to the clinical diagnosis of heart attack, particularly among symptomatic persons with chest pain. More...30 Jun 2016
Testosterone Reference Ranges Vary Widely in Medical Laboratories
The evaluation and management of male hypogonadism should be based on symptoms and on serum testosterone levels and diagnostically this relies on accurate testing and reference values. This circumstance not only affects how clinicians determine treatment, but also whether insurers approve therapy for men with low testosterone levels. More...30 Jun 2016
Urinary Round Cells Predict Need For Hemodialysis
Urinalysis is a safe, easy, and cost-effective diagnostic tool, and sediments are indicative of nephron condition, therefore, it can be considered as a virtual renal biopsy and is useful for the differential diagnosis of acute kidney injury and chronic kidney disease. More...28 Jun 2016
Breath Analysis Aims To Reduce Unnecessary Antibiotic Prescriptions
A number of multiresistant pathogens including Acinetobacter baumannii place a heavy burden on ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) patients in intensive care units (ICU), and it is critically important to differentiate between bacterial infection and colonization to avoid prescribing unnecessary antibiotics. More...23 Jun 2016
