In-Situ Hybridization; a Lab Procedure that Helps Locate Position of Specific DNA/RNA Sequences

 



  In-Situ Hybridization (ISH) is a laboratory technique used to label complementary DNA, RNA, or modified nucleic acids strands. ISH helps localize specific DNA or RNA sequences in a small cross-section of tissues or an entire tissue. There are two types of in-situ hybridization, such as chromogenic in-situ hybridization (CISH) and fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH), which are used to identify the position of genes. FISH is a laboratory-based test that can reveal the genetic makeup of cancer.

  Fluorescence in-situ hybridization test can detect genetic abnormalities associated with cancer, and thus, it is useful for diagnosing some types of the disease. Thus, with the rising incidence of cancer worldwide, the demand for in-situ hybridization is also increasing at a rapid pace. Cancer is one of the leading causes of morbidity and mortality across the globe. For example, according to the American Cancer Society, in 2021, there will be an estimated 1.9 million new cancer cases diagnosed and 608,570 cancer deaths in the United States.

  In-situ hybridization is often used to identify certain genes or tumors. It has been used for many years to diagnose cancer. It is often helpful to identify the cause of cancer and its progress. It is an important technique for genetic analysis, especially in research on prenatal development. The spatial information obtained from in-situ hybridization is useful for a number of research topics, including the study of gene expression and the determination of disease risk. It is highly sensitive and can identify mutations in samples.

  In-situ hybridization technique expands the potential to meet any medical need and enable a new diagnostic, treatment application for those suffering from chronic diseases, such as cancer. FISH helps analyze several targets in the same sample and helps to detect a number of copies of the gene in the sample, the presence of a particular gene, and mutation analysis. Whereas, CISH helps gain genetic information in the terms of tissue morphology and is generally applicable in the case of molecular pathology diagnostics.

Total Disc Replacement complete details Of Competitive Landscape Executive Summary Development in next decade

Image
    Total disc replacement is a type of back/spine surgery in which an artificial replacement device is used to replace a damaged or degenerated disc in the lumbar or cervical region. A disc replacement, also known as an artificial disc, is a device implanted in the spine that performs the same function as a normal disc in the human body. A total disc replacement , as the name implies, is a procedure that involves the complete or partial exclusion of the disc tissue in order to implant a replacement device into the space between the vertebrae. The prostheses help to maintain spinal curvature and flexibility while reducing or possibly eliminating pain.   Cervical total disc replacement (CTDR) surgery is used to treat patients with degenerative disc disease (DDD). The most common cause of DDD in the cervical region of the spine is neck pain. For the treatment of DDD, a cervical disc replacement procedure is performed in which the degenerated disc is surgically removed and...

Dengue Vaccines development and progress towards vaccine has increased over the past few years

Image
    Dengue fever is a tropical disease spread by mosquitos that are caused by the dengue virus. 3 to 14 days after infection, symptoms appear. A high fever, headache, vomiting, muscle, and joint pains, and a distinct skin rash are all potential symptoms. In most cases, recovery takes two to seven days. In a small percentage of cases, the disease progresses to dengue hemorrhagic fever, which causes bleeding, low levels of blood platelets, and blood plasma leakage, or to dengue shock syndrome, which causes dangerously low blood pressure.   Dengue is spread by several Aides genus female mosquitoes, most notably Aides. The virus has five serotypes; infection with one type usually results in lifelong immunity to that type but only temporary immunity to the others. Subsequent infection with a different type raises the possibility of severe complications. . Dengue vaccines are a vaccine used to protect humans from dengue fever to confirm the diagnosis, a number of tests are ava...

Elbow Sleeves Are Worn By Athletes to Avoid Muscle Soreness and Improve Blood Circulation, Which Is Essential For Reducing Pain and Fast Recovery

Image
  Elbow Sleeves Market  There are several benefits to using elbow sleeves, including the fact that they provide more compression and can reduce the risk of injury. The most important feature of an elbow sleeve is that it provides support and comfort to the wearer. The sleeves are made from soft and pliable neoprene and provide warmth and support for the elbow joint. Fortunately, there are several excellent options available.   Elbow sleeves provide support and compression to the elbow joint. They also promote healthy circulation, which supports faster recovery from injuries. Finally, they are made from a higher grade of neoprene than other elbow sleeves , which makes them more flexible and allows for an increased range of motion. These sleeves are often adjustable and can be worn on or off the elbow.   Elbow sleeves can be worn on the forearm and the elbow. Their main purpose is to provide compression and support to the elbow joint. These sleeves prevent sprains and ...
