Sometimes a medical test gives a false-positive result. Sometimes medical tests result in a false-negative result.

2009-06-08 Fertility Tests: Michigan scientists fine-tune reproduction Detroit Free PressSo colleagues in his department have developed a womb-like environment in a tiny well on a device the size of a credit card. In it, the growing embryo gets a continuous flow of fresh nutrients. And fertility specialists at U-M see embryos grown in the device act and look more like naturally formed embryos than those grown in Petri dishes. Mouse embryos implant better when grown in the device, he said. Armant and Dr. Anthony Imudia, an obstetrics and gynecology resident at Wayne State University, have also found that the number of trophoblasts shed into the cervix during early pregnancy could predict problems. Imudia has developed a Pap smear-like test that allows them to count the placental cells. Too few, said Armant, and there may be trouble ahead.
2009-06-08 Mineral Test: Article - "Treatment Updates From the Miami Breast Cancer Conference"Several bisphosphonates, drugs that strengthen bone tissue, are approved for osteoporosis. And because aromatase inhibitors, a common treatment for hormone-positive breast cancer, can lower bone mineral density and increase the risk of fracture, studies have been done to assess whether bisphosphonates can protect bone tissue in patients undergoing these therapies. Several studies have shown the surprising result that these agents can actually lower recurrence risk, possibly due to direct tumor growth-inhibiting effects. For 25 years, surgical and medical oncologists have gathered in sunny Miami to discuss the latest strategies in breast cancer management. At this year and rsquo;s meeting in March, a wide variety of topics, including new methods for treating inflammatory breast cancer and whether radiation therapy carries more benefit than risk for patients with small, invasive tumors, captured the interest of more than 1000 researchers and doctors.

2009-06-08 Rheumatoid Arthritis Test: Topic of the week: arthritis The Courier-MailTHERE are two main types of arthritis: osteoarthritis, which is the most common and affects almost everyone with advancing age, and rheumatoid arthritis, which is less common but tends to be more debilitating. The most useful strategy for any type of arthritis is to encourage movement. A sedentary lifestyle reduces circulation and promotes weight gain, both of which aggravate musculoskeletal problems. Exercise improves muscle strength and maintains mobility. Some medication might be purely for pain relief (analgesia) or to reduce inflammation (anti-inflammatories), while others may be to specifically target the underlying disease (anti-rheumatoid medication).
