New Biomarker Panel Could Accelerate Autism Diagnoses
Autism Spectrum Disorder is characterized by core symptoms of altered social communication and repetitive behaviors or circumscribed interests and has a prevalence of 1:59 children in the USA. Affected individuals vary enormously in the severity of their autistic characteristics as well as in the occurrence of many co-morbid conditions. More...17 Sep 2018
Prognostic Biomarkers Identified for Aggressive Breast Cancer
The rarest, but also the most aggressive and hard to treat, form of breast cancer, is known as triple negative. For this type of cancer, oncologists have so far been unable to identify markers that can classify patients by prognosis or probability of responding to different treatments. More...11 Sep 2018
Biomarker Low Predictive Power Validated for eGFR Decline
Glomerular filtration rate (GFR) is a measure of the function of the kidneys. This test measures the level of creatinine in the blood and uses the result in a formula to calculate a number that reflects how well the kidneys are functioning, called the estimated GFR or eGFR. More...06 Sep 2018
Inflammation Biomarkers Identified as Risk of Polyneuropathy
Polyneuropathy is one of the most common complications in people with diabetes. First symptoms are often pins-and-needles sensations in the feet. Although polyneuropathy is present in about 30% of people with diabetes, it often remains undiagnosed. More...05 Sep 2018
Serum S-100β Elevated in Septic Shock Patients with Delirium
A high prevalence of delirium is observed in sepsis, yet specific markers for this brain dysfunction in sedated patients are still lacking. Cytoplasmic low molecular weight calcium-binding protein, S-100β, is a commonly used nonspecific marker for brain injury. More...30 Aug 2018
