The presence of certain bacteria in the gut microbiota, and fluctuations in a person’s metabolism, have been identified as potential biomarkers for type 2 diabetes years before its onset.
AI models can now assess breast cancer risk directly from changes in screening mammograms over time, a new study shows. This opens the door to a new era of dynamic breast cancer risk assessment.
Invasive fungal infections are silent, fast-moving, and notoriously hard to catch in time. The FUJIFILM Wako β-D-Glucan Test on the LIMUSAVE MT-7500 gives clinical laboratories a quantitative, LAL-based tool to detect (1→3)-β-D-glucan in serum or plasma – enabling earlier diagnosis where it matters most.
A simple, affordable urine test could detect early signs of lung cancer months, or even years, before symptoms appear, as well as monitor whether treatment is working and identify potential relapse.
Pancreas lesions are of diagnostic concern, as they may evolve into pancreatic cancer – but many never do. New research findings help explain how the transformation into a malignant state works.
Researchers have developed an electrochemical sensor that can detect pancreatic cancer in its early stages. The device offers a simpler, more affordable alternative to conventional tests, which are less accessible.
The incidence of colorectal cancer is rising among younger individuals, sometimes as early as their thirties. The research also shows the challenge of late diagnoses and calls for increased awareness.
New models help identify cardiovascular disease risk even before symptoms appear. The researcher's findings also indicate that the risk of heart failure is not evenly distributed across Europe.
By combining two specific markers from a standard cardiac CT scan, researchers were able to identify patients at the highest risk for future heart failure and death.
Not all precancerous lesions will develop into tumours, yet the majority are treated as if they were already breast cancer. A new marker could help identify the relevant cases and avoid overtreatment.
A compact LED module pairs UV-A, green and IR light with a matched photodiode to detect AGE autofluorescence — bringing biochemical risk screening to wearables and point of care testing.
Earlier detection, better outcomes: A new blood test for bowel cancer screening is designed to transform cancer outcomes by moving away from invasive or unpleasant methods.
Prostate cancer screening compares favourably to screening for breast cancer in identifying significant cancers, reducing mortality and avoiding unnecessary harms, says new research.
Pancreatic cancer remains a diagnostic challenge, due to unspecific early symptoms and lack of effective screening tools. A novel AI metabolomics platform could help overcome these issues.
To better distinguish between healthy and diseased gut microbiomes, scientists have created an index that tracks microbial behavior and signals conditions such as colorectal cancer.
Using machine learning, researchers have trained an electronic nose to detect early signs of ovarian cancer in the blood. The method could eventually be used to find many different cancers.
A new study shows that analyzing bacteria from vaginal swab samples taken at delivery could help predict the risk of neonatal sepsis.
Researchers report on decisive steps towards an early diagnosis of Parkinson’s disease: a newly discovered biomarker in the blood could open a window of opportunity for future treatment.
An advanced imaging method that uses the natural glow of tissues could help detect subtle differences in the tissue’s biochemistry, offering a way to earlier detect colorectal cancer via endoscopy.
