Activity levels of four genes related to severity diagnosis of pediatric appendicitis
Credit: Pixabay/CC0 Public Domain A multi-institutional team of medical researchers has discovered that measuring the activity of four specific genes in pediatric patients with suspected appendicitis can predict whether the disease is simple or perforated.among them studyreported in the magazine JAMA PediatricsThe research group studied gene expression signatures in children diagnosed with appendicitis and took […]
Activity of four genes could be key to rapid diagnosis of appendicitis
Doctors could use different patterns of gene activity in blood to more quickly diagnose and treat children with life-threatening diseases appendicitisnew research suggests. These genetic measurements could help doctors distinguish between so-called simple and complicated appendicitis in the early stages of the disease, the researchers say, published Monday (February 19) in the journal It was […]
