A urine test for appendicitis?
Appendicitis is the most common childhood surgical emergency, but the diagnosis can be challenging, especially in children, often leading to either unnecessary surgery in children without appendicitis, or a ruptured appendix and serious complications when the condition is missed. view more (2009-06-23)
Role for proteomics in identifying hematologic malignancies
Scientists have identified a set of biomarkers that could help clinicians identify a group of hematologic malignancies known as myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS), which affect approximately 300,000 individuals worldwide and often progress to acute myeloid leukemia. view more (2007-01-11)
U of T researchers create microchip that can detect type and severity of cancer
U of T researchers have used nanomaterials to develop a microchip sensitive enough to quickly determine the type and severity of a patient's cancer so that the disease can be detected earlier for more effective treatment. view more (2009-09-28)
Improved predictive value of biomarkers in HF makes earlier diagnosis and better management possible
With an ever ageing population and more people surviving a heart attack, heart failure is now the world's most prevalent chronic cardiovascular disease. Yet despite improvements in its diagnosis and management, heart failure remains a stubbornly incurable condition with a poor prognosis, largely amenable to little more than palliative therapy. view more (2009-03-30)
Breakthrough in Alzheimer's research
A combination of proteins in the cerebrospinal fluid can reliably identify which patients with early symptoms of dementia will subsequently develop full-blown Alzheimer's disease, a research team at the University of Gothenburg, Sweden, has found in a major international study. view more (2009-08-12)
Biomarkers predict brain tumor's response to therapy
A report in Cancer Research, a journal of the American Association for Cancer Research, highlights a new biomarker that may be useful in identifying patients with recurrent glioblastoma, or brain tumors, who would respond better to anti-vascular endothelial growth factor therapy, specifically cediranib. view more (2009-06-24)
Malignant tumor or benign cyst?
The results of a study presented today at the Society of Gynecologic Oncology's 39th Annual Meeting on Women's Cancer offer a promising development on the path toward better management of ovarian cancer. view more (2008-03-11)
Proteomic profiling shown more accurate than traditional biomarkers in identifying liver cancer
As the incidence of liver cancer continues to grow-- fueled in large part, by rising rates of hepatitis C infections - so too does the need for tests to help diagnose the disease at an earlier stage. view more (2008-01-15)
March Issue of JADA Explores Saliva
A University of Kentucky research study featured on the cover of the March issue of the Journal of American Dental Association could help change the diagnosis and treatment of periodontal disease. view more (2006-04-07)
Study shows our ancestors survived 'Snowball Earth'
It has been 2.3 billion years since Earth's atmosphere became infused with enough oxygen to support life as we know it. About the same time, the planet became encased in ice that some scientists speculate was more than a half-mile deep. view more (2006-06-07)
Green tea may affect prostate cancer progression
According to results of a study published in Cancer Prevention Research, a journal of the American Association for Cancer Research, men with prostate cancer who consumed the active compounds in green tea demonstrated a significant reduction in serum markers predictive of prostate cancer progression. view more (2009-06-19)
Researchers identify another potential biomarker
Researchers from Boston University School of Medicine (BUSM) have demonstrated that a recently discovered class of molecule called microRNA (miRNAs), regulate the gene expression changes in airway cells that occur with smoking and lung cancer. view more (2009-01-14)
Fossil steroids record the advent of earliest known animals
Using compounds preserved in sedimentary rocks more than 635 million years old, researchers have found some of the earliest evidence for the existence of animals. view more (2009-02-05)
2 software tools that improve identification of cancer biomarkers earn certification
The explosive growth of genomic and proteomic data has ushered in a new era of molecular medicine in which cancer detection, diagnosis and treatment are tailored to each individual's molecular profile. view more (2009-08-18)
Brain holds clues to bipolar disorder
Looking into the brain is yielding vital clues to understanding, diagnosing and treating bipolar disorder, according to findings being presented today at the Seventh International Conference on Bipolar Disorder. view more (2007-06-08)
Meconium: Baby's first stool may provide clues to fetal alcohol exposure
Researchers have found that the presence of certain fatty acid ethyl esters (FAEEs) in meconium may provide a dependable biomarker of fetal alcohol exposure. view more (2006-06-26)
AVN944 inhibits IMPDH & induces apoptosis-related biomarkers in patients with hematologic cancers
Avalon Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NASDAQ and NYSE Arca: AVRX), presented a poster detailing the effect of AVN944 on a comprehensive set of genetic and biochemical biomarkers at the American Society of Hematology 48th Annual Meeting. view more (2006-12-11)
Major cancer study aims to identify protein markers for early-stage disease
A team led by Bay Area scientists is one of five nationwide to receive a major grant from the National Cancer Institute (NCI) to refine and standardize the technologies for identifying biomarkers in the blood - specific proteins, and the patterns they make - for the early detection of cancer. view more (2006-09-29)
Biomarker May Be an Early Predictor of Advanced Breast Cancer
Researchers have identified a molecule that may be more accurate than existing biological signposts used to predict which breast cancers will develop into advanced forms of the disease. view more (2007-11-06)
Laser light may be able to detect diseases on the breath
A team of scientists at JILA, a joint institute of the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and the University of Colorado (CU) at Boulder, has shown that by sampling a person's breath with laser light they can detect molecules in the breath that may be markers for diseases like asthma or cancer. view more (2008-02-19)
