New Easy to Use Malaria Test Kit (LAMP) Detects Low Level of Parasite in Blood

A new test, to detect malaria called LAMP (Loop-Mediated Isothermal Amplification) and was tested by researchers in UK and Switzerland in two studies was found to be easier and more accurate. This is a simple test that can be performed by a non-specialist health workers. Read more; Clinician On Net: New Easy to Use Malaria […]

Catheter Ablation for Rhythm Disorder of Heart made easier through 3D Technology

The research team used the new 3-D mapping technology on 49 patients between 2012 and 2013 and compared them with nearly 200 patients with similar conditions who received conventional treatment during that same time period. About one year after catheter ablation, nearly 79% of patients who had the 3-D procedure were free of their atrial […]

Air Pollution Linked to Increased Cardiovascular Diseases

Higher long-term PM2.5 exposures may be associated with an acceleration of vascular pathologies over time. While, there is no clear-cut explanation for association of air pollution with progression of atherosclerosis,it has been proposed that several factors are generated in the tissue of lungs in response to the particulate matter may have key roles to play. […]

Fasting in a Module can Help Patients of Type II Diabetes Mellitus and CVD

A British researcher says existing research indicates intermittent fasting may help those with diabetes and cardiovascular disease, alongside with weight loss. Fasting can be intermittent, on a given number of consecutive or alternate days. The basic format of intermittent fasting is to alternate days eating “normally” with days when calorie consumption is restricted. This can […]

How to Proceed where Conventional Investigations fail to Diagnose Cause of Raised Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate (ESR)

After use of conventional investigations like ultra sonogram, CT, X-Rays, MRIs and routine blood tests, if no diagnosis is forthcoming, they suggest FDG/PET/CT. In this way, they have established diagnosis of Large vessel vasculitis like Giant Cell Arteritis, malignancy and autoimmune diseases in otherwise undiagnosed cases of raised ESR.
