Lymphocyte Count Correlated to Comorbid Diabetes and COVID-19
The coronavirus disease (COVID-19) that erupted in China since December 2019 and has gradually spread throughout the world. At present, it has caused tens of thousands of deaths, and the efficacy of certain antiviral drugs is still under review. More...03 Sep 2020
Biomarkers Evaluated for Severity of Diabetic Kidney Disease
Type 2 diabetic mellitus (T2DM) is a chronic metabolic disorder with multiple complications, including diabetic retinopathy, diabetic neuropathy, diabetic kidney disease (DKD) as well as cardiovascular diseases. T2DM is related to an exacerbated systematic inflammation. More...24 Aug 2020
Nanoparticle System Captures Heart-Disease Biomarker From Blood
Physicians currently use an antibody-based test called enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) to help diagnose heart attacks based on elevated levels of cardiac troponin I (cTnI) in the patient's blood sample. While the ELISA test is sensitive, patients can have high levels of cTnI in the blood without having heart disease, which can lead to expensive and unnecessary treatments for patients.

High Blood Glucose Tied to Cardiovascular Risk in Diabetes
Glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) is a measure of an overall picture of what the average blood sugar levels have been over a period of weeks/months. If the blood sugar levels have been high over recent weeks, the hemoglobinA1c test will be higher. More...14 Aug 2020
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
