COVID-19 Lung Damage Caused by Persistence of Abnormal Cells
Several uncertainties still relate to the involvement of other organs in COVID-19. Besides indirect multi-organ injury, a few reports have suggested the possibility of direct injury caused by viral replication in brain, heart and kidney. More...19 Nov 2020


CRP Tracking Predicts Potential Outcome for Hospitalized COVID-19 Patients
By tracking the increase in circulating levels of the inflammatory biomarker C-reactive protein, doctors are able to predict whether newly hospitalized COVID-19 patients will suffer respiratory deterioration with the possible need for intubation. More...16 Nov 2020

Blood Cell Mutations Underlie Severe Autoinflammatory Disease
Severe adult-onset autoinflammatory disorders often manifest with overlapping clinical features. Affected individuals may develop episodes of high, spiking fevers, a pink or salmon colored rash, joint pain, muscle pain, a sore throat and other symptoms associated with systemic inflammatory disease. More...12 Nov 2020


Molecular Blood Test Kit Detects Gastric Cancer Early
Gastric cancer (GC) is the fifth most common cancer and the third-leading cause of cancer deaths worldwide. GC mortality is high due to late presentation. In most countries, mass screening is neither feasible nor cost-effective because such screening methods are costly and invasive, with poor compliance. More...09 Nov 2020
