A Rapid Pupillometric Test for Glaucoma
This technology provides a rapid and objective means of testing for the presence of glaucoma. It also provides a quick and reliable means of assessing the progress of the disease in confirmed cases of existing glaucoma. It is well established that glaucoma affecting a given eye has a strong tendency to affect certain areas of the retina. These affected...

Molecular Prognosis of Carcinomas In Situ
Current methods for identifying and studying circulating tumor cells (CTC) have been problematic, as they require complex cell isolation procedures, comprising many technical challenges which limit utility in clinical medicine. BC200 RNA is a small non-protein-coding RNA normally restricted to neuronal expression. The dramatic exception to this...

Saliva MicroRNA-Based Diagnosis of Children With Autism
A panel of 14 miRNA biomarkers in saliva that are 91% accurate in diagnosing autism in children aged 4-13 (both the false positive and false negative rates are less than 10%). Analysis of the saliva sample can be done using next generation sequencing or qPCR. Because the current gold standard autism spectrum disorder diagnostic is a questionaire which...
