Disease diagnosis, biodefense among UH chemical research projects
With 33 presentations of original research that showcase applications ranging from early-stage disease diagnosis to fuel cells and batteries, the University of Houston will be well represented at the 229th National Meeting of the American Chemical Society (ACS), March 13 to 17 in San Diego. Founded in 1876, the ACS is a nonprofit, scientific and educational organization and the largest sci...Owl genomics presents a HEPATOCHIP for diagnosis of non-alcoholic steatohepatitis
OWL Genomics, biotechnological company, has presented at the CIC bioGUNE hold at the Bizkaia Technological Park (Derio), the first DNA chip concerning diagnosis and prognosis of non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), allowing the discrimination between normal, steatosis and NASH predisposed subjects. Non alcoholic steatohepatitis is a progressive disease of the liver of unknown etiology, ch...Disease diagnosis, bioengineering covered at state nano summit
Research into the evolution of protein design by a University of Houston professor will be featured among nearly 20 presentations at the 2005 Nano Summit Research Conference July 28. Sponsored by the Nanotechnology Found...New mitochondrial DNA gene chip may be early cancer diagnosis tool
A pilot study at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), in support of the National Cancer Institute's Early Detection Research Network (EDRN), has validated the measurement accuracy of new techniques that use mitochondrial DNA as an early indicator for certain types of cancer. Additional results suggest that a relatively simple diagnostic test using a DNA microarray "chip" cou...Neurotransmitters signal aggressive cancer, offer potential for early diagnosis
Nerves talk to each other using chemicals called neurotransmitters. One of those "communication chemicals," aptly named GABA (gamma amino butyric acid), shows up in unusually high amounts in some aggressive tumors, according to a new study from Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis. The researchers investigated metastatic neuroendocrine tumors, which include aggressive type...PCR Diagnosis-Bacteria Identification Kit from BioChain
Description:This kit consists of universal lysis buffer, PCR mix, DNA polymerase and universal control primers for 100 25 l volume PCR reactions. This system can detect different types of Gram negative or positive rod and coccus bacteria, such as Escherichia Coli, Klebsiella Pneumoniae, Bacillus Cereus, Staphylococcus Aureus, Streptococcus Agalactiae, and etc. With the powerful Universal lysis buffer, the se...The use of the Mastercycler gradient for single-cell PCR and preimplantation diagnosis
Karen Sermon, M.D., PhD Center for Medical Genetics, University Hospital and Medical School of the Dutch-speaking Brussels Free University, Laarbeeklaan 101, 1090 Brussels, Belgium Preimplantation diagnosi...Combined scan gives exact cancer diagnosis
A new device makes detection more easier. A combined scanner detects more lesions in cervical and ovarian cancer than the conventional method. It is notoriously difficult to get an accurate picture of ovarian and cervical tumours,// because the tissue is dense and so it's not always possible to detect the border between malignant and normal areas. Doctors at the University of Texas now say that c...Quit smoking after cancer diagnosis
According to a new study it is observed that motivating people to give up smoking, after a cancer diagnosis, is not necessarily more effective than just ordering them to quit. When someone is diagnosed with cancer,// they may well be more responsive than ever before to the idea of giving up smoking. Researchers at the Royal Adelaide Hospital Cancer Centre, in Melbourne, have been considering at t...Screening Test For Early Diagnosis Of Colorectal Cancer
Colorectal cancer is the second leading cause of cancer death in the United States, partly because it is often detected at advanced stages. // Screening reduces death by detecting cancers earlier when they are more curable. A new study shows primary care providers do not screen all eligible patients for colorectal cancer. Researchers attribute the limited use of these tests to four fact...Early Diagnosis Of Lung Cancer
Diagnosing lung cancer before it’s in a more advanced stage is key to survival of patients say researchers based on findings of a recent study.// While a CT scan can detect early lung cancer, researchers wanted to determine if it is a cost-effective option. A new study conducted by researchers who wanted to look at the cost-effectiveness of a CT scan for high-risk patients. The research...Essentials of Diagnosis and Treatment 2nd Edition for PDA
Description:Information on diagnosis and management of 500 common or important medical and surgical disorders....Essentials of Diagnosis & Treatment in Surgery
Description:This book includes orthopedic, reproductive, renal, cardiovascular, GI, and respiratory problems; and other common conditions....Essentials of Diagnosis & Treatment in Cardiology
Description:Essentials of Diagnosis & Treatment in Cardiology provides the essential information needed to diagnose and manage patients with cardiac diseases. Summarizes the diagnosis and treatment of 200 cardiac diseases, each reviewed with discussion of the only the most pertinent information including: differential diagnosis, treatment, and a clinical pearl....Manual of Cardiovascular Diagnosis and Therapy, Fifth Edition
Description:On the wards, on rounds, or at the bedside, clinicians can instantly access authoritative, up-to-date, practical guidelines for the immediate and long-term medical and surgical management of all cardiovascular disorders....
