Anti-Müllerian Hormone Linked to Lipid Levels in Midlife Women
Throughout the period before, during and after menopause, also known as the menopause transition, midlife women are at a heightened risk for cardiovascular disease with changes in their lipid levels, such as a sharp increase in low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C). More...20 Dec 2022

Simple Blood Test Can Detect Predictive Biomarker for Cognitive Impairment and Dementia
A new study has revealed that low levels of ergothioneine (ET) in blood plasma may predict an increased risk of cognitive impairment and dementia, suggesting possible therapeutic or early screening measures for cognitive impairment and dementia in the elderly. More...20 Dec 2022

CSF Glucose Unaltered in Patients With Dementia
A plethora of the pathological processes of many dementia disorders begin several years before the clinical expression of the diseases, and for that reason it is important to discover new biomarkers and methods to detect these processes at an early stage. More...14 Dec 2022

Ground-Breaking New Method for Multi-Cancer Early Detection Is More Practical and Cheaper
Researchers have developed a new method for Multi-Cancer Early Detection (MCED) that is based on human metabolism. The results uncover new opportunities for cheaper and more effective cancer screening. More...08 Dec 2022

CHI3L1 Protein Differentially Expressed in Appendicitis and Appendix Carcinomas
Appendicitis is inflammation of the appendix. Symptoms commonly include right lower abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, and decreased appetite. However, approximately 40% of people do not have these typical symptoms. Adenocarcinoma of the appendix is an epithelial cancer of the appendix. More...06 Dec 2022
