A team of researchers from Massachusetts General Hospital, trawling through hospital admission data, may have found a simple blood-based biomarker that can help doctors assess those patients most at risk of suffering the worst effects of COVID-19.
-
An international team of researchers has used machine learning to produce a novel blood test that can predict a young person’s risk of developing a psychotic disorder, such as schizophrenia, years before the condition develops.
-
A test detecting metabolites in urine can effectively measure not only the quality of one’s nutritional intake but whether they're on the best diet for their specific metabolism. The test could help clinicians generate personalized dietary advice.
-
A new blood test is promising a non-invasive way for clinicians to diagnose and classify brain tumors. The test will need further verification before it is available but it points to a novel way to detect brain cancer without needing tissue biopsies.
-
New research is suggesting high levels of a certain blood-based biomarker may serve as an early warning sign of Alzheimer’s disease, two years before symptoms develop. The preliminary study has yet to be verified in larger cohorts of patients.
-
Two new studies are demonstrating the development of diagnostic tests to detect prostate cancer. The research presents a urine test that can detect the disease in its early stages and a blood test that may catch the cancer as it begins to metastasize.
-
A new blood test has been developed that promises to be able to effectively track the progression of breast cancer at its earliest stages. It is suggested the blood test could track the efficacy of drug therapies better than current imaging techniques and prevent unnecessary surgical procedures.
-
A new research breakthrough uncovering the very earliest inflammatory mechanism triggered in celiac sufferers after consuming gluten could lead to be novel blood test making it substantially easier for clinicians to diagnose the disease.
-
As part of a decade-long research project a newly published study has revealed the development of a blood test that can purportedly identify patients most at risk of developing post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and possibly even predict future psychiatric hospitalizations.
-
ScienceAn international team of researchers, from Imperial College London and the University of Melbourne in Australia, has demonstrated a new AI system that can effectively predict survival rates from ovarian cancer better than any current conventional method available to doctors.
-
Scientists have developed a small handheld device that can scan for biomarkers to quickly and easily diagnose people with certain diseases and illnesses. Inspired (as always) by Star Trek’s tricorder, the new “multicorder” is designed to help doctors track illness from just about anywhere.
-
In an attempt to establish a less invasive method of detecting prostate cancer and preserve the quality of life for many suffers, Finnish researchers have developed an electronic nose capable of sniffing the patient's urine sample to distinguish between prostate cancer and benign disease.
