Parkinson’s Gene Mutation Linked to Higher Risk of Leukemia
Parkinson's disease is a progressive nervous system disorder that affects movement. Symptoms start gradually, sometimes starting with a barely noticeable tremor in just one hand. Tremors are common, but the disorder also commonly causes stiffness or slowing of movement. More...10 Oct 2019


Hematological Parameters Detect Patients with Acute VTE
Venous thromboembolism (VTE) encompasses deep venous thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolism (PE). VTE causes cardiovascular death and disability and the risk of PE‐associated mortality and morbidity extends far beyond the acute phase of the disease. More...08 Oct 2019


Biomarker in Adolescence Linked to Early Mortality
Inflammation is part of the complex biological response of body tissues to harmful stimuli, such as pathogens, damaged cells, or irritants, and is a protective response involving immune cells, blood vessels, and molecular mediators. More...27 Sep 2019

Next-Gen Sequencing Matches Blood Group Antigens for Transfusion
Transfusion is the procedure of introducing donor material with unknown blood cell antigens into the recipient’s circulatory system. The recipient’s immune system recognizes foreign antigens, produces specific antibodies and sensitization (alloimmunization) occurs. More...26 Sep 2019

Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia Linked with Higher Melanoma Risk
Melanoma, also known as malignant melanoma, is a type of cancer that develops from the pigment-containing cells known as melanocytes. Chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) is a type of cancer that starts from white blood cells (called lymphocytes) in the bone marrow. More...19 Sep 2019
