An accurate method for preoperative diagnosis of pancreatic solid pseudopapillary tumor

Solid pseudopapillary tumor of the pancreas is a very rare pancreatic tumor with a reported frequency of less than 1 percent of all pancreatic diseases. In most patients, the tumor follows an indolent clinical course and complete resection is often curative. Researchers confirmed that endoscopy ultrasound guided fine-needle aspiration cytology is an accurate method for preoperative diagnosis of SPTP.

   01-14-2008 · EurekAlert!
   A rapid and accurate DHPLC assay for determination of apolipoprotein E genotypes has been developed by researchers from the Department of Medical Genetics, School of Basic Medical Sciences, Southern Medical University, Guangzhou, China. This assay combines PCR and DHPLC and can be used to conduct efficient genotyping of the human population, which in turn will help in the diagnosis and treatment of Alzheimer’s disease. A description of the assay has been published this month in the Journal of Alzheimer's Disease.

4. Measuring the density of ultra-pure water
   12-18-2007 · EurekAlert!
   For the description of ocean currents accurate measurements of the density of sea water are of great importance. For this purpose, measuring instruments are needed which reach a small uncertainty. To be able to calibrate these measuring instruments, ultra-pure water is required as a reference fluid -- the density of which can now be measured with the required accuracy over a large temperature range by means of a method which has been further developed at PTB.

   Researchers at The University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston can identify and quantify specific protein markers in human saliva to provide an early, non-invasive diagnosis of breast cancer, according to a study appearing today in the journal Cancer Investigation. The study is being applied to "lab-on-a-chip" technology that may bring this type of diagnostic test -- capable of detecting the presence of cancer before a tumor forms -- into everyday use.

7. Blood pressure drugs could help halt pancreatic cancer spread, Jefferson researchers find
   12-07-2006 · EurekAlert!
   Common blood pressure medications might help block the spread of pancreatic cancer, researchers have found. The scientists showed in laboratory studies that two types of pressure-lowering drugs -- ACE inhibitors and AT1R blockers -- may help reduce the development of tumor-feeding blood vessels, a process called angiogenesis. Such drugs, they say, may become part of a novel strategy to control the growth and spread of cancer.

   01-10-2008 · EurekAlert!
   A protein that helps prevent a woman's body from rejecting a fetus may also play an important role in enabling pancreatic cancer cells to evade detection by the immune system, allowing them to spread in the body. Researchers found that the metastatic pancreatic cancer cells in the lymph nodes produce enough of the protein, IDO, to wall-off the immune system's T-cells and recruit cells that suppress the immune response to the tumor.
