Better adenoma detection using a molecular marker for fluorescent imaging
Detecting adenomas by colonoscopy remains one of the main preventative measures for colorectal cancer (CRC). Unfortunately, using white-light colonoscopy without probing for a particular molecular marker of adenomas can lead to 30% of lesions going undetected.
Tracking lung macrophages with lipophilic fluorescent dyes
Pulmonary macrophages are a heterogeneous population of immune cells that patrol the lungs, ingesting particulates and microbes, and activating inflammation when necessary. During homeostasis, two main subsets of macrophages coexist: resident alveolar macrophages (AMs) and bone marrow (BM)-derived macrophages. Identifying and characterizing these subsets during lung inflammation is challenging due to altered expression of cell surface markers.
Study: GPs managing more skin cancer cases as cost of treatment climbs in Australia
Patients, especially men, living in regional and rural areas are increasingly presenting to GPs for skin cancer and related conditions, according to a national survey conducted by the Daffodil Center.
Diagnosing neurocysticercosis
The pork tapeworm (Taenia solium) can grow to be more than 20 feet long inside the human intestine, where it attaches to the intestinal wall using the 4 suckers on its scolex, which is only 1 millimeter in diameter. The scolex looks somewhat like a head, but the organism has no mouth or digestive tract and simply absorbs nutrients through its body covering.
Clinicians must look beyond physical symptoms to care for people with deep-seated trauma, say researchers
Child protection experts are imploring clinicians to broaden their duty of care to ensure that patients’ hidden trauma is not overlooked by more obvious physical symptoms and illnesses.
