Genetic blood tests can expose cancer


Genetic blood test might expose different types of cancer at early stage,
the blood test discovered blood from DNA fragments released by cancerous tumours.

Examining DNA fragments for mutations found in cancer- causing genes leads to the discovery of blood of many early stage cancers. It exposed colon, breast, lung and ovarian cancers.

Early detection of cancers can leads to effective treatment from onset and save many lives, the test can screen out people without cancer. Genetic blood test for cancer must expose DNA mutations linked to cancer and ignore harmless mutations that is always present in healthy humans.

Exposing cancer and early treatment is the most important aspect of the discovery, differentiating deadly cancers that will hurt people from cancers that may not is very important for the success of the blood test.

Facts about Zika virus


Zika virus is a mosquito- borne illness that is spread by the Aedes species of mosquito.

Aedes albopictus, known as the Asian tiger mosquito, and the Aedes Aegyptus, known as the yellow fever mosquito are responsible for Zika virus.

The Zika virus was first identified in monkeys, in Uganda in 1947. The first human cases were detected in Uganda and the United Republic of Tanzania in 1952.

Presently, there is no treatment for the virus. Avoiding mosquito bites is the major prevention method against Zika virus.

Signs and symptoms of Zika virus are vague and can last for up to 1 week. Diagnosis of the virus is typically confirmed with a blood test.

Major Zika virus cases occur in tropical regions, such as Brazil, Colombia, Paraguay, Suriname, Venezuela, and French Guiana.

Currently, there is no treatment for  Zika. People living with the virus must
increase their body fluid to prevent
dehydration, relieving pain and fever with acetaminophen.

 CDC advised pregnant women who are diagnosed with Zika to go for monitoring of fetal growth and anatomy program every 3-4 weeks.
