New proteomic method to detect inflammation in amniotic fluid

A score that measures the proteomic profile of amniotic fluid may predict inflammation before delivery. Researchers from Yale University assess whether scores set on protein markers closely associated with inflammation in the amniotic fluid -- the "Mass Restricted" (MR) score -- are associated with the outcome of pregnancy; the presence of infection in the placenta, and severe infection in the newborn baby.

3. Method shows promise for early detection of pancreatic cancer
   08-01-2007 · EurekAlert!
   Optical technology developed by a Northwestern University biomedical engineer shown to be effective in the early detection of colon cancer now appears promising for detecting pancreatic cancer. A team of Northwestern researchers and Evanston Northwestern Healthcare physicians found they could detect both early- and advanced-stage pancreatic cancer without touching or imaging the pancreas. The new technology could lead to the first screening method for pancreatic cancer in asymptomatic patients.

4. Purdue researchers develop technology to detect cancer by scanning surface veins
   09-04-2007 · EurekAlert!
   Researchers have developed technology to detect tumor cells within the human body. By shining a laser on surface veins, such as those on the wrist and inside the cheek, researchers are able to reveal and count circulating tumor cells. The new detection method is able to evaluate a much larger volume of blood than what can be drawn from a patient for analysis, said Philip Low, Purdue's Ralph C. Corley Distinguished Professor of Chemistry.

10. Sheffield scientists light up bacteria
    03-12-2007 · EurekAlert!
    Researchers from the University of Sheffield have received joint funding from the Engineering and Physical Science Research Council (EPSRC) and the Ministry of Defense (MoD) to develop an innovative sensor to detect bacteria. The new method will use a polymer which will give a fluorescent signal when it encounters bacteria, allowing scientists to easily identify infected wounds much earlier than using conventional methodologies.
