QIAGEN Launches Novel Product Enabling Non-Invasive Prenatal Diagnostics And Cancer Detection
QIAGEN announced the launch of a novel product for extraction of free circulating fragments of tumor- and fetal-derived nucleic acids as well as viral nucleic acids in human blood. Scientists consider these DNA and RNA fragments to have great potential for the highly sensitive and non-invasive diagnosis of a wide range of diseases, including congenital disorders, malignancies such as colon and lung cancer, and infections. The new QIAamp Circulating Nucleic Acid Kit is expected to significantly facilitate the corresponding biomarker research and the introduction of novel molecular tests in prenatal diagnostics which can replace risky, invasive procedures such as amniocentesis.

More Community Health Care Now, That's The Remedy For Our Ailing Hospitals, Australia

In response to the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare (AIHW) report on hospitals, Australian Nursing Federation (ANF) said the best remedy for Australia"s hospitals is to keep people out of them. "Hospital waiting lists will continue to blow out unless governments act now to give Australians access to quick and effective health care in their communities," ANF Federal Secretary Ged Kearney said. The ANF want community health centres expanded to all areas of Australia. "Let"s get working on building community health centres where people can get quick and effective health care from a range of health professionals, appropriate to the needs of each community," Ms Kearney said. "If there is a young community with lots of new families emphasise maternity services and maternal and child health care, if it is older have more aged care services." We need community health care centres that will not only treat illnesses but can also keep people healthy through: - Community health and lifestyle programs; - Managing chronic disease; and - Targeted health services. The report shows that 9% of hospital admissions are preventable, keeping people out of hospital is the thing that will reduce the pressure. The ANF, with 170,000 members, is the professional and industrial voice for nurses and midwives in Australia. Australian Nursing Federation
