Biomarker Panel For - Articles

A Rapid, Peripheral Blood Gene Expression Biomarker Panel for Diagnosis of Acute Ischemic Stroke by nih.gov Posted Sun 19 Sep 2010 5:00pm of a set of nine genes may be used as biomarkers for diagnosis of AIS as well as outcome prediction. These biomarkers may be rapidly identified using peripheral whole blood and may... in the course of treatment, this panel may also help to better characterize stroke subtype, and identify new pathways for stroke treatment. This is important as the only FDA approved Read on »
Panel Calls for Biomarkers in Routine Clinical Alzheimer's Disease Diagnosis by Bob DeMarco Patient Expert Posted Thu 14 Oct 2010 5:00pm Criteria for the Diagnosis of Alzheimer's Disease. The panel wrote: "This reliable identification of Alzheimer's disease biomarkers supports a major change... By Bob DeMarco Alzheimer's Reading Room Clinicians should try to incorporate biomarker data in their diagnosis of patients with Alzheimer's disease or conditions Read on »
A Collaborative Effort to Find Biological Markers by The Myelin Repair Foundation Posted Wed 18 Aug 2010 8:00am Neil Buckholtz, chief of the Dementias of Aging Branch at the National Institute of Aging, in the National Institutes of Health. The New York Times reports on a successful collaboration , the Alzheimer’s Disease Neuroimaging Initiative, which created a platform for sharing data on the biological markers (or biomarkers) of Alzheimer Read on »
biologic markers can change after metastasis by Donna Peach Patient Expert Posted Mon 20 Sep 2010 12:00am Researchers note that the three biologic markers in breast cancer (estrogen, progesterone and HER2) may change when breast cancer metastasizes, particularly with liver metastases. The conclusion, thus, is that, in cases of liver mets, it may be a good idea … Continue reading → Read on »
Alzheimer's Disease, Biological Markers, and the Collaboration of Mankind by Bob DeMarco Patient Expert Posted Fri 13 Aug 2010 7:26am emission tomography (PET), other biological markers, and clinical and neuropsychological assessment can be combined to measure the progression of mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and early Alzheimer’s disease (AD). In other words, to learn more about Alzheimer's disease, how it unfolds in the brain, and to discover biological markers that indicate probable Read on »
Clinic Notes: A Biological Marker for Autism? by Dr. Gary B. Doctor of Philosophy Posted Fri 15 Jul 2011 11:36am One big problem in conducting studies on the causes of autism is reliable diagnosis. There are no biological markers of autism so autism is inferred from the child's behavior. The problem arises then that there such obvious variably from one child with autism to another that a "spectrum" is required to "explain" this variability. So is autism Read on »
Researchers Discover Possible Biological Marker For Depression by Jeremiah D. Doctor of Philosophy Posted Fri 03 Oct 2008 12:52pm This article reviews a recent finding that there may be a quick way to biologically assess whether an individual has depression, and (possibly more importantly), whether a particular antidepressant treatment is the "right fit" for that particular individual.  Money quote: "We discovered that in depressed individuals a signaling protein is ...

Molecular Markers During Surgery Light Up Tumors and Show Surgeons Where the Cancer Is And Secondly Where the Nerves Are Located by Medical Quack Patient ExpertHealth Maven Posted Tue 13 Dec 2011 6:00pm You can see in the video that the fluorescence was not contained only in the cancer, but in adjacent areas as well. This is fascinating and explains how the pathology process works during surgery and she does a great job in describing how reports come back later, after surgery that find cancer tissue and then the treatment process continues fr ...
