Researchers have been working on an experimental blood test that could point out autism in children. So far, the test is 98 percent accurate in children ages 3 to 10 in diagnosing if they have autism.
“The test was able to predict autism, regardless of where on the spectrum an individual was,” according to study co-author Juergen Hahn in the MedlinePlus article. The test was also able to indicate the severity of the autism-related condition with good accuracy.
This new test is a stark contrast to the current approach of diagnosing autism, which entails a consensus from a group of medical professionals. The blood test, on the other hand, looks for key metabolism markers in the child.
The study was small, with less than 200 participants, so more research is planned to follow-up on the claims.

*Upgrade complete: 8:48am

The Isché Library is pleased to host the National Library of Medicine/National Institutes of Health display: Pictures of Nursing: the Zwerdling Postcard Collection, which explores the relationship of nursing to events in 20th-century life and how nursing was perceived. For more information on the exhibit, visit the NLM exhibition page.
The exhibit will be in the Library Commons from Monday, March 24th through Friday April 21st.
We are pleased to announce that The Developing Human: Clinically Oriented Embryology, 10th edition, is now available in an Ebook format.
From the record in the library catalog, click on the link for EBSCOhost Ebooks. We have 3 “copies” available, so we are allowed 3 concurrent online users.
The print edition is on reserve for ANAT 100 – Gross Anatomy and ANAT 101 – Human Prenatal Development. But we think you’ll find the electronic edition to be much lighter.
Prosthetics & orthotics in clinical practice, by Bella J. May, is now available in print on the Isché Library Reserve shelves, Call Number: WE 172 M45 2011.
As mentioned in a previous post, due to high demand this book is also available online: https://www.lsuhsc.edu/library/news/?p=11484.
This book is required for course PHTH 7234 – Prosthetics and Orthotics in Physical Therapy. We hope this additional access will be helpful!

We are currently having trouble with off-campus access and journals we receive from Oxford University Press, so these titles will be available on-campus only until the problem is fixed. You will see a note indicating on-campus only restrictions for these journals displayed in links from the Library Catalog, A to Z List, and link resolver. As soon as the issue is resolved, we will restore off-campus access.
If you need assistance when off-campus in retrieving articles from Oxford journals, please contact us.
