New Blood Test a Strong Predictor of Heart Disease. (cover story)Focuses on a research by doctors on heart disease-predicting capability of high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP). Comparison between women with the highest hs-CRP levels with those with the lowest levels; Warning of Dr. ...
In early detection of disease, combinations of biomarkers promise improved discrimination over diagnostic tests based on single markers. An example of this... R Etzioni,C Kooperberg,M Pepe,... - 《Biostat》 被引量: 158发表: 2003年 The Thessaly test for detection of meniscal tears: validation...
He shares a breakthrough technique that looks for small signals of cancer's presence via a simple blood test, detecting the recurrence of some forms of the disease 100 days earlier than traditional methods. It could be a ray of hope in a fight where early detection makes all the difference...
Researchers at UCL and University Medical Center Goettingen have created an AI-based blood test that predicts Parkinson’s disease up to seven years before symptoms start, using eight biomarkers. This breakthrough, published in Nature Communications, offers hope for early diagnosis and treatment, ...
By measuring for atherosclerosis, a new device could enable early identification of people at risk for heart disease or stroke.The noninvasive test device, which looks like a blood-pressure cuff, allows doctors to gauge artery stiffness by measuring blood volume in the leg. Early detection could...

Looking for a great blood pressure watch? These blood pressure watches are our top choice for measuring blood pressure on the go.
Introduction Blood speckle imaging (BSI) is a new speckle-tracking-based technique for blood flow study. Flows assessment is particularly challenging in Congenital heart diseases (CHDs), where a profound distortion in cardiac anatomy gives reason of alteration in fluid mechanics. Up until now doppler...
Among the many signals for B-type natriuretic peptide release is myocardial stretch. From animal studies, myocardial induction and secretion of B-type natriuretic peptides in such situations is rapid, with detectable levels in the blood soon thereafter, making it a candidate tool for the re...
New alternatives to reduce glucose synthesis in the liver “Our study reveals that GDF15 inhibits glucose synthesis in the liver. This pathway plays a decisive role in the generation of hyperglycaemia (increased blood glucose levels) in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus,” says Professor Manuel...
