Colonoscopy May Detect Curable Cancer in Elderly: Study

May 22, 2012
TUESDAY, May 22 (HealthDay News) -- Colonoscopies helped doctors detect a high rate of curable cancer in elderly people who had the screening for the first time, a new study indicates. The findings suggest that screenings should be made available to otherwise healthy elderly people who have never been ...

New study shows how nanotechnology can help detect disease earlier

May 22, 2012
LEXINGTON, KY. (May 21, 2012) A new study led by University of Kentucky researchers shows a new way to precisely detect a single chemical at extremely low concentrations and high contamination. The study, published online for ACS Nano, was carried out in the laboratory of ...

Polarization Gating Spectroscopy may detect pancreatic cancer

High-throughput sequencing can detect early signs of leukemia relapse

May 17, 2012
A study led by researchers at Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center has found that a next-generation, high-speed DNA-decoding technology called high-throughput sequencing can detect the earliest signs of potential relapse in nearly twice the number of leukemia patients as compared to flow cytometry, the current gold standard for detecting minimal ...

Younger And At-Risk Men Benefit From PSA Screening To Detect Prostate Cancer

May 8, 2012
Screening younger men and men at risk of prostate cancer can be beneficial in reducing metastatic cancer and deaths and should not be abandoned, states an article published in CMAJ (Canadian Medical Association Journal). The United States Preventive Services Task Force, which last issued prostate screening guidelines in 2008, recently ...

NOAA discovers way to detect low-level exposure to seafood toxin in marine animals

May 4, 2012
NOAA scientists and their colleagues have discovered a biological marker in the blood of laboratory zebrafish and marine mammals that shows when they have been repeatedly exposed to low levels of domoic acid, which is potentially toxic at high levels. While little is known about how ...

Rapid Test Strips Detect Bacterial Contamination In Swimming Water

May 2, 2012
Urban beach closures due to coliform outbreaks have become disturbing signs of summer, yet water-testing technology has never been fast enough to keep up with changing conditions, nor accessible enough to check all waters. Now, researchers at McMaster University have developed a rapid testing method using a simple paper strip ...
