Complete Blood Count Predicts Asymptomatic Preterm Birth

Preterm birth (PTB), defined as birth before 37 complete weeks of gestation, is a very serious obstetric problem worldwide. It affects 5% to 18% of all deliveries in the world and represents an enormous health care burden. More...

sTNFR2 Revealed as a Novel Diagnostic Biomarker for Acute ATL

Adult T-cell leukemia/lymphoma (ATL) is a mature T-cell neoplasm associated with human T-cell leukemia virus type 1 (HTLV-1). Although only about 5% of HTLV-1 carriers progress to ATL, early diagnosis is challenging because of the lack of ATL biomarkers. Soluble tumor necrosis factor 2 (sTNFR2) is a novel and promising diagnostic biomarker for acute ATL. More...

Molecule in Lymphatic System Implicated in Autoimmune Diseases

A healthy immune system defends the body against diseases and infection. When someone has an autoimmune disease, the immune system malfunctions and the body mistakenly attacks healthy cells, tissues and organs. Rheumatoid arthritis, lupus and scleroderma are examples of autoimmune diseases. More...

Fibrinogen-Albumin Ratio Correlated to Ankylosing Spondylitis Disease Activity

 Ankylosing spondylitis (AS) is a systematic inflammatory autoimmune disease that primarily involves the spine and sacroiliac joints. Typically the joints where the spine joins the pelvis are also affected and occasionally other joints such as the shoulders or hips are involved. Back pain is a characteristic symptom of AS, and it often comes and goes. More...

NGS Identifies Genomic Characteristics of Pediatric Leukemia

 Pediatric leukemias have a diverse genomic landscape associated with complex structural variants, including gene fusions, insertions and deletions, and single nucleotide variants. Routine karyotype and fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) techniques lack sensitivity for smaller genomic alternations. More...
