Complete Blood Count Parameters Associated With Pancreatic Beta-Cell Function
The pathophysiology of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) involves insulin resistance (IR) and progressive deterioration of beta-cell function (BCF). Estimation of IR and BCF is essential for screening subjects at a high risk of T2DM and making treatment plans in clinical practice. More...19 May 2022
Lipid Measurements Show Potential as Alzheimer’s Disease Biomarkers
Brain changes accompanying ageing are varied and can include pathologies that lead to cognitive impairment, the commonest of which is Alzheimer’s disease (AD). Identifying blood-based signatures of brain health and preclinical pathology may offer insights into early disease mechanisms and highlight avenues for intervention. More...17 May 2022

Biomarker Proenkephalin Investigated in Diagnosis of Acute Kidney Injury
Liver transplantation (LT) is the only treatment available for patients with end-stage liver disease, such as liver cancer or acute and subacute liver failure. Among the various types of postoperative organ damage, acute kidney injury (AKI) is particularly prevalent, developing in 5% to 20% of patients undergoing major non-cardiac surgery. More...12 May 2022
Tear-Based Method Detects Breast Cancer
With advances in screening techniques, and adjustment of recommended screening guidelines, mortality rates due to breast cancer continue to decline. Despite the estimated waning in mortality rates, breast cancer still remains the highest cancer diagnosis of women globally. More...11 May 2022
Proteins Linked to COVID-19-Associated Inflammatory Syndromes
COVID-19 associated acute respiratory distress syndrome (COVID-19 ARDS) is one of the major manifestations of the severe cases, characterized by hypoxemic respiratory failure with bilateral lung infiltrate, as well as multi-organ dysfunction and extensive microthrombus formation. More...10 May 2022
Biochemical Abnormalities Among Celiac Disease Patients Referred for Antibody Testing
Celiac disease (CD) is a chronic disease occurring in all age groups and affecting approximately 1% of the population, although many cases of CD remain undiagnosed. This condition is caused by an abnormal immune response in genetically susceptible individuals triggered by the ingestion of gluten proteins from wheat, rye and barley. More...09 May 2022
