Neonatal Vitamin D Status Linked to Schizophrenia Risk
Schizophrenia is a poorly understood group of brain disorders characterized by impairments in cognition, perception and affect, with a lifetime prevalence of 0.7%. People with schizophrenia may seem like they have lost touch with reality. More...18 Dec 2018
Tau Blood Test Developed for Alzheimer's Disease
Presently, the only way to definitively diagnose Alzheimer's disease in life is through brain scans and tests of cerebrospinal fluid that must be collected via lumbar puncture. Though cumbersome and expensive, such tests provide the most accurate diagnoses for patients. More...17 Dec 2018
Diabetic Retinopathy Linked to Glycemic Variability in Type 2-Diabetes
Latent autoimmune diabetes in adults (LADA) refers to adult diabetes patients who are initially non‐insulin requiring, but have type 1 diabetes mellitus‐associated autoantibodies and who often progress to insulin dependency. More...13 Dec 2018
Potential Biomarkers Found for Acute Aortic Dissection
An aortic dissection is a serious condition in which the inner layer of the aorta, the large blood vessel branching off the heart, tears. Blood surges through the tear, causing the inner and middle layers of the aorta to separate (dissect). More...10 Dec 2018
Routine Vitamin B12 Screening May Prevent Irreversible Nerve Damage
The increasing incidence of type-2 diabetes is a serious health issue worldwide. Its prevalence is associated with poor diet and unhealthy lifestyle choices, and it is characterized by high blood glucose levels that need to be controlled by medication. More...05 Dec 2018
Commercial Fully Automated Procalcitonin Immunoassay Compared
Procalcitonin (PCT), a 13-kDa peptide precursor of calcitonin, has gained widespread acceptance as an early and specific biomarker for the presence of systemic bacterial infection. In particular, PCT monitoring has demonstrated value in guiding antibiotic use for bacterial infections. More...04 Dec 2018
Plasma Human Proteins Associated with Acute Pediatric Malaria
Severe malaria caused by Plasmodium falciparum continues to be one of the leading infectious causes of morbidity and mortality in children worldwide. The intimate interaction between the pathophysiology of the human host and the biology of the P. falciparum parasite results in a wide spectrum of disease outcomes in malaria. More...27 Nov 2018
