Lung cancer is hard to detect. Only 15 percent of lung cancer cases are detected in their early stages. Because of late detection, survival from this disease is a low percentage situation. By the time of discovery, the cancer has already spread making it hard to cure.

But there is a new method that can supplement the detection of lung cancer on its early stages. It is called LC Detect. It is a novel blood test which measures the HAAH in serum. Although this method is not conclusive if taken alone, the diagnostic information it provides when taken together with the results of imaging technology procedures can be an effective method of determining the presence of lung cancer.

Male infants born prematurely are twice as likely to die as female infants within their first three days. This fact has puzzled medical experts for years, until recent results of research done in the UK revealed the cause: male infants are more vulnerable to cardiovascular complications. Specifically, male babies born prematurely and with low blood pressure and small blood vessels were less able to regulate their blood flow than the female babies, even if the female premature babies exhibited the same symptoms.

Further research will hopefully reveal the best way to help the male infants control their small vessel blood flow.
