Highly Accurate Test "Fishes" For Respiratory Viruses Using DNA as Bait
A new test uses single strands of DNA as ‘bait’ to ‘fish’ for multiple respiratory viruses at once and delivers accurate results in less than an hour. The new approach tests for multiple viruses at once, allowing the right treatment to be administered quickly to the patients and minimizing the unwarranted use of antibiotics. More...17 Jan 2023
Cheap, Easy Blood Test Detects Cancer by Identifying Broken DNA
Researchers have reported progress on a blood test that is capable of detecting multiple cancers in a relatively simpler and less expensive way as compared to other "multi-cancer" early detection tests currently under development. More...16 Jan 2023
Simple Blood Test Could Screen for Common and Dangerous Pregnancy Complications
Scientists have discovered that short-chain fatty acids in blood can be used as biomarkers in testing for dangerous pregnancy complications, including pre-eclampsia, gestational diabetes and intrahepatic cholestasis which are associated with significant morbidity and mortality. More...13 Jan 2023
Genetic Test Improves Ovarian Cancer Treatment
The new PARP inhibitors as maintenance treatment for ovarian cancer after surgery and cytostatic therapy in newly-diagnosed ovarian cancer have demonstrated excellent results. However, the therapy can also cause serious side-effects, making it vital to target it to only those patients who stand to benefit the most from the treatment. Now, a new genetic test can identify ovarian cancer patients who can benefit from PARP inhibitors. More...12 Jan 2023
Blood Test Could Detect Alzheimer's 10 Years Before Symptoms Show
Early diagnosis of Alzheimer disease can enable the right treatment to be started without delay. Now, a new study on an inherited form of Alzheimer disease has shown that a protein called GFAP is a potential biomarker for very early stages of the disease and could allow for its earlier detection. More...12 Jan 2023
