A blood test that could identify millions of people who spread tuberculosis unknowingly is close to being developed, scientists have said.
By comparing proteins found in the blood of people with active TB to those in healthy people and patients with lung infections, researchers from the University of Southampton discovered a group of six biological markers that are found in high levels among infectious patients.
And if successful, a blood test that detects these proteins in the bloodstream could help identify the estimated three million cases of the disease which were missed last year, mostly in developing countries, according to…
UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. — The human body harbors approximately 30 trillion microbes, known collectively as the microbiota. These microorganisms influence various bodily functions, including digestion and metabolism to immune response, according to Pak Kin Wong, Penn State professor of biomedical engineering and of mechanical engineering. Analysis of microbiota holds potential for informing disease diagnosis, prognosis predictions and treatment, Wong said, but has yet to be adopted into clinical decision-making.
Penn State News spoke to Wong about his recent paper, published in Nature Reviews Bioengineeringthat discusses the methods available for incorporating microbiota analysis into clinical decision-making, the challenges of doing so…

Biernbaum, chief medical officer for WellNow Urgent Care, told CBS News. “Instead of seeing end stage breast cancer, end stage colon cancer, we would catch them…
