New Method Rapidly Monitors Sickle Cell Disease
Sickle cell disease (SCD) is a hereditary disorder that affects red blood cells, distorting their natural disc shape into a crescent moon or "sickle" shape. Normal red blood cells move freely through small vessels throughout the body to deliver oxygen. With sickle cell disease, the misshapen red blood cells become hard and sticky, making it difficult for them to move through blood vessels. More...26 Jun 2019
Rapid Tests Assessed for Chronic Chagas Disease
Chagas disease (CD) is a parasitic disease that can affect seriously the health status of affected individuals. People with CD, mainly living in remote areas of Latin America, often face major barriers to the disease recognition, diagnosis and treatment. In the U.S., there are estimated to be at least 300,000 cases of chronic Chagas disease among people originally from countries of Latin America where Chagas disease is endemic. More...24 Jun 2019
Automated Hematology Analyzer Assessed for Malaria Diagnosis
Malaria remains a major cause of morbidity and mortality around the world. Sub-Saharan Africa is most affected with Plasmodium falciparum accounting for 99% of estimated cases. Timely and accurate diagnosis of malaria is essential for disease management and control. More...11 Jun 2019
Airway Microbiome Altered in Severe Asthma Linked to Neutrophils
Patients with mild-to-moderate asthma can experience difficulty breathing and it is especially difficult for those with Severe Asthma where symptoms can be life threatening. In either case, patients cannot participate in daily activities if their disease is uncontrolled. More...06 Jun 2019
Neutrophil-Lymphocyte Ratio Proves Possible Biomarker for ED
Erectile dysfunction is described as the impotency to obtain or sustain an erection sufficiently in order to enable convincing sexual intercourse. Erectile dysfunction (ED) is estimated to affect about 75% of men over the age of 75 and 20% of men over the age of 20. More...30 May 2019
Stem Cell Transplantation Increases Risk of Infection-Related Mortality
Allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) is a potentially curative therapeutic modality for various malignant and nonmalignant hematological conditions. The best results of allogeneic HSCT were obtained when the stem cells from a human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-matched sibling were used, such a donor can only be found for approximately 30% of patients.
