The study find that the cancer often turns out to be a very slow-growing tumor that could have well been left alone, even while some patients suffer complications from the biopsy and/or surgery. This could all change with a new simple but highly accurate blood test that actually detects prostate cancers which need treatment, and…
The study find that the inherited bleeding disorder of hemophilia, and 418,000 of those have a severe version of the mostly undiagnosed disease, says a new study led by McMaster University researchers. This is three times what is previously know. Only 400,000 people globally are estimated to have the disorder which is cause by a…
The study find that the leukaemic Stem Cell group of the Josep Carreras Leukaemia Research Institute. This group investigates Acute Myeloid Leukaemia (AML) and the cell population responsible for the disease spreading; persisting, and if it has been treated and overcome, reappear. AML is one of leukemia with the worst prognosis. Its treatment with chemotherapy…
The researches find that the elevated urate in the blood (hyperuricemia) is a precursor of gout, which is the most common form of inflammatory arthritis worldwide. A study published in Arthritis & Rheumatology that included 14,624 U.S. adults found that four modifiable risk factors body mass index, diet, alcohol consumption, and diuretic use each have important…
The researches find that the sepsis and septic shock are severe inflammatory conditions related to high morbidity and mortality. They performed a systematic review with meta-analysis of randomized trials to assess whether extracorporeal blood purification reduces mortality in this setting. sepsis remains one of the main causes of morbidity and mortality in the intensive care…
The researches find that the Children’s Research Institute study has highlighted the challenges of consistently diagnosing child blood samples and sourcing healthy samples for research. Published in Clinical Chemistry, the research paper; “Pediatric reference intervals across 5 analyzers,” used the blood samples of 616 healthy children and found that results from different laboratories were not…
The new cases of leukemia will be diagnose in the United States this year; with some 2,000 cases in New Jersey, according to the American Cancer Society. Although leukemias are thought to occur in childhood, they can actually present at any age in both children and adults. However, not all leukemias are create equal. There are…
T-cell ProLymphocytic leukemia (T-PLL) is the most aggressive of all known forms of leukemia. Although many cancer drugs are now available, therapeutic success is limited for T-PLL patients. Until now, no international studies have conduct and stand-alone studies are hardly comparable with each other, since they use different diagnostic and treatment response assessment criteria. T-cell…

Joanna Blocka, M.D., from the University Hospital of Heidelberg in Germany, and colleagues performed…
The study find that the body for mechanical stimuli such as touch, bladder fullness, and blood pressure. The discovery is a feat of basic science that also opens up many new paths of investigation into the roles of Piezo proteins in human diseases and potential new therapeutic strategies. But In the study, published Aug. 21…
The researches find that the experimental multiple myeloma treatment has shown a meaningful response in patients that have run out of three previous treatment options, in a boost for the British drugmaker’s cancer drug business. Two doses of belantamab mafodotin helped subdue the disease in adults who had received three prior treatments for multiple myeloma;…
researchers has developed a new computer model that simulates the way red blood cells become misshapen by sickle cell disease. The model, described in a paper publish in Science Advances, could be useful in the preclinical evaluation of drugs aimed at preventing the sickling process. Therefore There are currently only two drugs approve by the…
