Blood-Based Biomarkers Detectable by Simple Blood Test Could Simplify Diagnosis of Alzheimer's
A new study has demonstrated that blood-based biomarkers for amyloid and tau are highly correlated with the established biomarkers used for Alzheimer's diagnosis. These blood-based biomarkers have also shown great diagnostic accuracy in distinguishing between normal and non-normal levels of amyloid and tau biomarkers. More...06 Apr 2023

Smartphone-Based Readerless System Measures Blood Glucose for Early Detection of Prediabetes
Screening for prediabetes typically involves laboratory testing at a healthcare facility or using a portable glucometer for at-home testing. Unfortunately, access and cost may limit widespread screening. Now, researchers have discovered an optimal approach to enhance early detection of prediabetes. More...

First-Ever Rapid-Result Hematology Analyzer Measures Disease and Infection at POC
Sepsis is a severe medical emergency that occurs when the body reacts strongly to an infection. Now, a new rapid-result hematology system comes with the capability to count immature infection-fighting granulocytes, one of the earliest markers for sepsis. More...31 Mar 2023

POC Test Detects Genetic Blood Disorders with High Accuracy
Sickle cell disease (SCD) and beta thalassemia are genetic blood disorders that affect over 7% of the global population. In the US, SCD is estimated to affect 100,000 people, with up to 8% of African-Americans being carriers, and can reduce life expectancy by up to 20 years. Now, an affordable sickle cell and beta thalassemia test that is currently used in 27 countries seeks to replicate its international success and expand into the U.S. More...31 Mar 2023

Simple Blood Test Could Help Doctors Diagnose Heart Disease in Physician's Office
In the largest analysis of blood RNA from patients with angiographically confirmed coronary artery disease (CAD), researchers have demonstrated how RNA biomarkers could be utilized to confirm heart disease. More...30 Mar 2023

Sepsis Host-Response PCR Test Enables Early Targeted Therapies
Sepsis is a leading cause of hospital deaths. Now, a new host (patient) immune response test can identify 19 mRNA biomarkers of infection, sepsis and septic shock, and can also be used to monitor patient response to treatment. More...29 Mar 2023
