In the early stages of colon cancer, patients may experience changes in stool shapes, abnormal bowel habits or hemafecia. Many people think that is just a common digestive problem, or mistaken for hemorrhoids, and fail to have examined and treated in time.

After the age of 50, the risk of colorectal tumors begins to rise, thus it is not difficult to understand that the over 50 age group is the “key focus group” of colorectal cancer. However, in recent years, it has been founded that the incidence of colorectal cancer among young people is gradually increasing.

IBD conditions tend to fluctuate and require regular follow-up evaluations. Although endoscopy examination is the most accurate assessment method, but frequent use of this invasive and more expensive measurement is difficult for patients to accept.

Fecal calprotectin levels can be measured to determine when one is suspected of having IBD or when need to monitor IBD patients.

Calprotectin belongs to the S100 protein family and is a heterozygous calcium-binding protein with a molecular weight of 36kDa.

Calprotectin testing has been being used gradually in clinical application in the field of functional gastrointestinal disorders (FGIDs).

Calprotectin, a protein found in the feces, is emerging as a valuable tool in the field of pediatric inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). A recent study has shown that measuring calprotectin levels in children can aid in the diagnosis and monitoring of IBD, including Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis.

Calprotectin testing is proving a great value in the field of pediatric gastroenteritis, specifically in the differentiation of bacterial and viral causes. A recent study highlights the application value of calprotectin testing in distinguishing between bacterial and viral gastroenteritis in children.

Rotavirus is one of the common causes of diarrhea in the children, mainly through droplet and contact transmission. Here are what we have to do to prevent from rotavirus:

Studies have shown that the combined detection of rotavirus and adenovirus has a high diagnostic value in diagnosing for children diarrhea, and to a certain extent, it improves the positive rate of detection, and is worth further promotion in clinical practice.
