A New Blood Test Can Now Detect 20 Types of Cancer
A new blood test could detect more than 20 types of cancer, allowing the detection of cancer in the earlier stages.
The Blood test spots changes in the genes, as cancer develops. This would allow early screening of cancer, according to scientists allowing sooner treatment.
The New Blood test for cancer has 99.4% accuracy meaning just 0.6% of cases were misdiagnoses of healthy patients. The test was able to detect one-third of patients with cancer in the first stage, and three-quarters of those with stage two disease.
Scientists have pledged...

Antibiotic resistance
Widespread antibiotic use is largely to blame for the emergence of antibiotic resistant bacteria, which is currently one of the biggest threats to global health. Not only does antibiotic resistance already cause an estimated 700,000 deaths a year, it’s also made numerous infections, including pneumonia, tuberculosis, and gonorrhoea, harder to treat. Without knowing how to stop bacteria from developing antibiotic resistance, it’s predicted that preventable diseases could cause 10m deaths a yearby 2050.

I’m standing in a doctor’s waiting room. A few
distressed-looking people are seated on chairs lining the walls. I turn
around to see a man blocking the entrance behind me. Suddenly, I hear
the receptionist exclaim as several paper slips are blown by a fan into

World's first three-organoid system opens doors for medical research and diagnosis
Imagine trying to paint a forest when all the
artist has is a leaf and a piece of bark versus having a living,
growing tree as a model. Seeing how the parts fit together can make all
the difference.
That's the level of advancement in organoid science that researchers
at Cincinnati Children's have achieved with findings published today in
the journal Nature. Instead of growing mini human organs
independently in separate lab dishes, a team led by Takanori Takebe, MD,
succeeded at growing a connected set of three organs: the liver,
pancreas...

Albert stain: principle, procedure, results and uses
Albert stain is a type of differential stain used for staining the volutin granules also known as Metachromatic granules or food granules found in Corynebacterium diphtheriae. It is named as metachromatic because of its property of changing colour i.e when stained with blue stain they appear red in colour. When grown in Loffler’s slopes, C. diphtheriae produces large number of granules
Principle of Albert Staining:
Albert stain is basically made up of two stains that is Toluidine blue’ O’ and Malachite green both of which are basic dyes with...
