New Technique Predicts Preterm Births in High Risk Women
Globally, preterm birth is the leading cause of death in children under 5 years with 15 million babies being born before 37 weeks’ gestation each year. Spontaneous preterm birth is a syndrome, which can be precipitated by a variety of factors. More...14 Aug 2020
Dolichol Biomarker Evaluated for Congenital Disorders of Glycosylation
A congenital disorder of glycosylation (CDG; previously called carbohydrate-deficient glycoprotein syndrome) is one of several rare inborn errors of metabolism in which glycosylation of a variety of tissue proteins and/or lipids is deficient or defective. More...14 Aug 2020
Simple Urine Test Significantly Improves Detection of Adrenal Cancer
Prognosis for patients discovered to have an adrenal cortical carcinoma (ACC), a cancerous adrenal mass, is poor, and a cure is only achievable through early detection and surgery. The incidental discovery of an adrenal mass often triggers additional scans to determine whether the mass is cancerous. More...06 Aug 2020
Lipocalin 2 Proposed as Biomarker for Bacterial Meningitis
Central nervous system (CNS) infections cause significant mortality and morbidity worldwide. Common CNS infections include bacterial meningitis (BM) other than tuberculosis, viral encephalitis, tuberculous meningitis (TBM) and cryptococcal meningitis, but there are more than 100 documented infectious causes of CNS infections. More...05 Aug 2020
Protracted Ketonemia Reported in Hyperglycemic COVID-19 Emergencies
Diabetes is a major contributor to disease severity and mortality in patients with COVID-19; with an estimated 3.5-times increase in risk of death during hospital admission for patients with type 1 diabetes, and 2.03-times for those with type 2 diabetes. More...03 Aug 2020
Plasma Lipidome Investigated in Hereditary Hemochromatosis
Hereditary hemochromatosis (HH) is an autosomal recessive genetic disorder with increased intestinal iron absorption which leads to iron overload and consequently to tissue damage and functional impairment of organs like liver, pancreas, and heart. More...28 Jul 2020
