Circulating Cell-Free DNA Predicts Gastric Cancer Patients Prognosis

Gastric cancer is the second most common cancer and the fourth leading cause of cancer death and the most significant prognostic indicator is TNM Classification of Malignant Tumors (TNM) staging. More...

Gram-Negative Bacterial Molecules Associated with Alzheimer Disease Pathology

Scientists have known for some time that infections can increase the risk of Alzheimer's. However, now for the first time it has been found increased levels of Gram-negative bacteria antigens in Alzheimer's disease brains and bacterial molecules associated with the disease pathology. More...

Image: A Petri dish culture plate that contains Cycloserine Cefoxitin Fructose Agar (CCFA), which had been inoculated with a Clostridium difficile bacterial culture. The plate had been illuminated using long-wave UV irradiation, hence, the bacterial colonies emitted a yellow-green, or chartreuse fluorescent glow (Photo courtesy of James Gathany).

Antibiotics Prevent Common Hospital-Acquired Infection in Transplant Patients

Clostridium difficile infection, more commonly known as C. diff, causes diarrhea and can lead to severe inflammation of the bowel and these infections can be not only extremely uncomfortable, but can lead to other severe medical complications. More...

Prognostic Factors Evaluated for Synchronous Multifocal Necrotizing Fasciitis

Necrotizing fasciitis is an infection caused by bacteria and it can destroy skin, fat, and the tissue covering the muscles within a very short time. The disease sometimes is called flesh-eating bacteria and when it occurs on the genitals, it is called Fournier gangrene. More...

Blood Test Could Predict Best Treatment for Lung Cancer

A blood test could predict how well small-cell lung cancer (SCLC) patients will respond to treatment. In most patients with SCLC, a metastatic, aggressive disease, the condition is initially chemosensitive, but then relapses with acquired chemoresistance. More...

A, p15 expression in a benign intradermal nevus and B, antibody control C, co-immunofluorescence of p15 and Melan-A in a representative intradermal benign nevus. D, nevus melanocytes express p15, whereas non- nevus melanocytes (white arrows) are p15-negative (Photo courtesy of University of Pennsylvania).

Specific Gene Expression Differentiates Moles from Melanoma

Most melanomas are driven by mutations that spur out-of-control cell replication, while nevi which are moles composed of non-cancerous cells at the skin surface, that harbor the same mutations do not grow wildly. More...

Diagnostic Tool Designed for Familial Mediterranean Fever

A tool has been developed to diagnose Familial Mediterranean Fever (FMF) which is particularly common among populations originating from around Mediterranean Sea and this genetic disease is characterized by inflammation, fever and severe pain. More...
