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...07 Apr 2020
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...02 Apr 2020
Factors Associated with ARDS in COVID-19 Identified
Patients with COVID-19 present primarily with fever, myalgia or fatigue, and dry cough. Although most patients are thought to have a favorable prognosis, older patients and those with chronic underlying conditions may have worse outcomes. More...30 Mar 2020
Prognostic Values of Platelet Parameters in Gynecological Tumors Patients
Gynecologic cancers often involve the uterus, ovaries, cervix, vulva, vagina, fallopian tubes, or the peritoneum. The most common gynecologic cancer in the USA is endometrial cancer, followed by ovarian cancer. Many gynecologic cancers manifest as pelvic masses. More...24 Mar 2020
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...23 Mar 2020
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...19 Mar 2020
