Certain Cytokines Not Associated with Severity of COVID-19 Symptoms
The pandemic outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is sharply spreading all over the world. The severity of a viral disease usually is positive association with immune-mediated inflammatory responses. The aggressive and persistent inflammatory response leads to high risk of multiorgan failure and death. More...24 Jun 2020
Presepsin Values Evaluated as Sepsis Severity Markers
Sepsis is a life-threatening condition, with poor and highly variable clinical manifestations, difficult to identify and diagnose. Sepsis has remained a real diagnostic challenge to clinicians, causing millions of death worldwide each year. Early recognition of sepsis is crucial for better disease outcome. More...23 Jun 2020
Biomarkers Evaluated for Lung Disease Severity in Cystic Fibrosis
Cystic fibrosis (CF) is one of the most common life-shortening monogenic disorders amongst European-derived populations currently affecting more than 85,000 patients worldwide. The diagnosis of CF is based on consensus clinical and laboratory criteria. More...22 Jun 2020
Two Serodiagnostic Tests Compared for Loiasis in Non-Endemic Area
Loiasis, the disease caused by the infection with the filarial nematode Loa loa, is transmitted through the bite of tabanid flies of the genus Chrysops. It is endemic in Central and West Africa where, according to the most recent estimates, about 10 million people are infected. More...18 Jun 2020
Increasingly Efficient Serological Tests Developed with Electrochemiluminescence
Diagnostic markers, or biomarkers, are biomolecules (e.g., enzymes, proteins, peptides, and hormones) that can be measured accurately and reproducibly and can precisely predict relevant clinical outcomes or diseases in various populations. More...17 Jun 2020
Tumor Mutation and Immune Microenvironment Revealed in Colorectal Cancer
Most colorectal cancers are due to old age and lifestyle factors, with only a small number of cases due to underlying genetic disorders. Other risk factors include diet, obesity, smoking, and lack of physical activity. Dietary factors that increase the risk include red meat, processed meat, and alcohol. More...10 Jun 2020
Serological Exposure Markers Developed for Vivax Malaria
Plasmodium vivax is the most widespread malaria parasite worldwide, with up to two billion people at risk of infection. As well as causing illness and death in its 'active' stage of infection, the parasite can hide as hypnozoites, a dormant stage, in the liver, and is a significant cause of 'relapsing' malaria. More...10 Jun 2020
