The test aims to speed the detection of lung cancer, which often isn’t found until the later stages.UK scientists have developed a new test to speed up the detection of lung cancer – by finding “zombie cells” in people’s urine. Lung cancer, the deadliest type of cancer worldwide, killed nearly 227,000 people in the European Union in 2021. It often isn’t diagnosed until later stages when symptoms appear or it has spread to other parts of the body, making it more difficult to treat. The new tool, which uses an injectable sensor to test urine samples, aims to help...

Researchers have developed a nanoscale sensor to detect lung cancer by analyzing isoprene levels in breath, achieving high sensitivity and accuracy. The sensor, based on platinum-enhanced indium oxide nanoflakes, was integrated into a portable device that effectively distinguished lung cancer patients from healthy individuals in small tests. Detecting early-stage lung cancer may become easier thanks to an innovative approach that analyzes exhaled breath. Researchers developed an ultrasensitive nanoscale sensor capable of detecting isoprene levels in breath, a biomarker for lung cancer. By incorporating platinum-based nanoclusters, the Pt@InNiOx sensor achieved high sensitivity, with a detection threshold of just 2 parts per...

On October 5, a 4.5 magnitude earthquake struck near Semnan, Iran, raising online suspicions of a nuclear test amid escalating tensions with Israel. While some claim this could be related to Iran’s nuclear program, there is no concrete evidence to support the theory. Iran’s nuclear ambitions date back to the 1950s, with its current capacity to build a bomb under scrutiny.

A team of health and nutrition specialists has found that people on a ketogenic diet may experience an increase in LDL cholesterol levels, higher apolipoprotein B levels and reductions in certain gut bacteria. In their study, volunteers went on a ketogenic diet for a month so the researchers could study its impact on their bodies. A ketogenic diet consists of a drastic reduction in consumption of carbohydrates, replacing them with fats. In this new effort, the research team suspected that the diet may also lead to increases in LDL cholesterol levels and possibly other problems. To find out if that...

The traditional lipid panel may not give the full picture of cholesterol-related heart disease risk for many Americans, according to a study. There are different types of cholesterol particles that can cause heart disease, including low-density lipoproteins (LDL), very low-density lipoproteins (VLDL), and intermediate-density lipoproteins (IDL). LDL-C is a measure of the weight of cholesterol in LDL particles and is one of the most common tests people use to measure cholesterol risk. Every LDL, VLDL, and IDL particle has a single protein on its surface called apolipoprotein B (apoB). Prior research has shown that the number of "bad" cholesterol particles,...

The results of routine blood tests could be used to speed up cancer diagnosis among people with stomach pain or bloating, suggests a study. The study looked at data from more than 400,000 people aged 30 or older in the UK who had visited a GP due to stomach pain and more than 50,000 who had visited their GP due to bloating. Two thirds of this group had blood tests following their appointment. In the new study, the researchers found that people aged 60 or over who had gone to the GP with either stomach pain or bloating had a...

Monday, during an appearance on FNC’s “Hannity,” Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) praised former President Donald Trump as the Republican presidential nominee, particularly for his foreign policy achievements during his presidency. However, he also questioned incumbent President Joe Biden’s shortcomings and said Biden would not cognitive test “because he would fail it.” “[I]t’s good to have a Republican nominee for president, Donald Trump, who’s ready to go on day one, can straighten out the world pretty quickly,” Graham said. “But here’s what I worry about, the whole world is watching. They saw the interview. They saw the debate, and how does...

First Lady Jill Biden’s ex-husband said he is getting “even more worried” about the state of the country after watching President Joe Biden’s interview with ABC’s George Stephanopoulos. “I wish he would have the cognitive test,” Bill Stevenson, who was married to Jill Biden from 1970 to 1975, told The Post Saturday. “George asked him about three or four times. It’s what the whole world is thinking about. I feel badly that this guy is someone who now can’t make a decision in the middle of the night.” “Watching…it was clear Joe Biden has deeper issues,” Stevenson added. “He was...

New urine-based test looks at 18 genes and was specifically developed to pick out those cancers that need immediate treatment over the slow-growing type. Researchers at the University of Michigan Rogel Cancer Center have developed a new urine-based test that addresses a major problem in prostate cancer: how to separate the slow-growing form of the disease unlikely to cause harm from more aggressive cancer that needs immediate treatment. The test, called MyProstateScore2.0, or MPS2, looks at 18 different genes linked to high-grade prostate cancer. In multiple tests using urine and tissue samples from men with prostate cancer, it successfully identified...

President Joe Biden “passes a cognitive test every day” due to the rigors of the job, said White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre on Wednesday, as she attempted to fend off reporters’ questions about Biden’s mental fitness. Jean-Pierre presided over a White House press briefing just hours after the president returned from his annual physical. She said that a cognitive test was not part of the annual checkup, despite concerns about Biden’s acuity. “If you look at what this president — he passes a cognitive test every day, every day, as he moves from one topic to another topic, understanding...

Former Rep. Adam Kinzinger (R-Ill.) said the expected floor vote for Speaker designate Rep. Mike Johnson (R-La.) will be a “good test” for the House GOP conference as it wrangles with intense division in the wake of former Speaker Kevin McCarthy’s (R-Calif.) historic ousting earlier this month. The Republican conference nominated Johnson as its Speaker designate on Tuesday night, just hours after House Majority Whip Tom Emmer (R-Minn.) withdrew his Speakership bid amid opposition.
