Emerging Aid in Oral Cancer Diagnosis

Neural autoantibody clusters aid diagnosis of cancer.

PURPOSE Clustering of neural autoantibodies in patients with paraneoplastic neurologic disorders may predict tumor type. A mathematical analysis of neural autoantibody clusters was performed in 78,889 patients undergoing evaluation for a suspected paraneoplastic autoimmune neurologic disorder. Tumor predictive autoantibody profiles were confirmed in sera from patients with histologically proven...

Calretinin Immunohistochemistery: An Aid in the Diagnosis of Hirschsprung’s Disease

Objective(s) Definite diagnosis of Hirschsprung’s disease (HD) is based on histopathological study, but there are limitations associated with standard histology and histochemistry in this regard. The aim of this study was to investigate calretinin immunostaining patterns in both ganglionic and aganglionic HD intestinal specimens and to compare them with control specimens. Materials and Method...

Genetic diagnosis of cancer: diagnosis of mutations in BRCA1 and BRCA2 in breast cancer

During the last two decays the tremendous success in molecular biology and genetics which has surprised the entire world. So that today the sequencing of whole genome has been possible for each human individual to estimate its being affected with cardiovascular and cancer diseases. However, these achievements have some important limitations and deep ethical issues which might be ignored. Geneti...

The Changing Aetiology of Oral Cancer and the Role of Novel Biomarkers to Aid in Early Diagnosis

Biomimetic nanocrystalline apatites: Emerging perspectives in cancer diagnosis and treatment.

Nanocrystalline calcium phosphate apatites constitute the mineral part of hard tissues, and the synthesis of biomimetic analogs is now well-mastered at the lab-scale. Recent advances in the fine physico-chemical characterization of these phases enable one to envision original applications in the medical field along with a better understanding of the underlying chemistry and related pharmacologi...
