Recent Patents on Biomarkers (Discontinued) - Volume 4, Issue 3, 2014

Only in the last year, over 100 reports were published focusing on innovative dressing for hard to heal wounds. Complex technologies were developed to tackle the intricate mechanisms of wound healing and moreover to overcome the chronic status of the wound. The essential wound management recommendations include compression and moist wound environment maintanance. In clinical practice semi-occlusive/oc Read More

The prevalence of cancer in our days remains at high level all over the world. Implementing and improving tools for better diagnostics and prognostics is a very active field of research aimed towards giving the patients the best possible management of their disease. Since the discovery of the presence of cell-free circulating DNA (ccfDNA) in the blood of cancer patients, it has been proposed as a tool for tumor diagnosis, Read More

Objectives: Pronounced wound healing responses induced by phenytoin in inflamed gingivae have potential for matrix regeneration in this context. It enhances matrix formation in tissues and impairs their breakdown. The matrixregenerative responses of human periosteal fibroblasts to phenytoin and histamine were studied using the metabolite 5 alpha- dihydrotestosterone (DHT) as a marker of inflammatory wound rep Read More

Electromagnetic interference (EMI) is a phenomenon that may occur when an electronic device is exposed to an electromagnetic (EM) field. The aim of this study was to investigate whether the CC could be interfered by exposure to the 900MHz cell phones in the laboratory. In addition, a review of the recent patents in electromagnetic interference is also presented. Human whole blood samples were collected from 20 hea Read More

Previously, preliminary results of our researches showed that, mobile phone radiofrequency radiation does not affect human serum in an in vitro immunoenzymometric assay. However, we stated that the results should be confirmed in a larger series and employing different exposure doses on a specific hormone. Considering this statement, the aim of this study was to investigate whether the exposure from a 900MHz cell phon Read More
