tb gold test :: Article Creator Scientists Develop A TB Test & Find A Genetic Vulnerability In Resistant Strains A rapid diagnostic test for tuberculosis (TB) has been approved for the first time by the World Health Organization (WHO). The assay can identify the tuberculosis-causing pathogen Mycobacterium tuberculosis in sputum samples within a few hours. Tuberculosis is a primary cause of death by infectious disease worldwide.

malignant neoplasm of lung :: Article Creator An Overview Of The Types Of Lung Cancer The two main types of lung cancer are small cell lung cancer (SCLC) and non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).

most common cause of pulmonary embolism :: Article Creator Pulmonary Embolism Content Doctors usually treat pulmonary embolism with medicines called anticoagulants. They are often called blood thinners, but they don't really thin the blood. They help prevent new clots and keep existing clots from growing. Most people take a blood thinner for a few months. People at high risk for blood clots may take it for the rest of their lives. If symptoms are severe and life-threatening, "clot-busting" drugs called thrombolytics may be used. These medicines can dissolve clots quickly, but they increase the risk of serious bleeding. Another option is surgery or a less invasive procedure to remove the clot (embolectomy). Some people may have a filter put into the large vein (vena cava) that carries blood from the lower body to the heart. A vena cava filter helps keep blood clots from reaching the lungs. This filter might be used if you have...
