14 New Biomarkers Identified
( Source: MEDICA.de )
[09/10/2012] A German research team has identified 14 novel biomarkers for type 2 diabetes. They can become the basis for new methods of treatment and prevention. Furthermore, they can also be used to determine diabetes risk very early and to shed more light on the mechanisms of the disease. 14 New Biomarkers Identified - Read more
“The risk of patients dying from sepsis increases the longer the diagnosis takes”
( Source: MEDICA.de )
[01/02/2012] On the website of the German Sepsis Society (Deutsche Sepsis-Gesellschaft) you can find the following definition for the disease called sepsis: A modern definition of sepsis was published in 1989 by Bone. He wrote: Sepsis is defined as an invasion of microorganisms and / or their toxins into the blood stream along with the reaction of the organism to the invasion. “The risk of patients dying from sepsis increases the longer the diagnosis takes” - Read more
