Basophil Activation Test Predicts Pediatric Wheezing Prognosis
Although asthma is a common chronic airway inflammatory disease in children, the natural history of asthma remains unknown. It is difficult to diagnose asthma in children aged under five years because of the complexity of wheezing phenotypes at that age. More...20 Jan 2021
Increased Serum Neurofilament Light Portend Worse Prognosis in COVID-19
There is emerging evidence for multifarious neurological manifestations of COVID‐19, while little is known whether they reflect structural damage to the nervous system. The most commonly reported neurological manifestations of COVID-19 were myalgia, headache, altered sensorium, hyposmia, and hypogeusia. More...19 Jan 2021

Immunohistological Detection of Small Particles of Echinococcus Species Evaluated
Echinococcosis, also known as Hydatid Disease, is a life-threatening disease in humans that is caused by the larval stages of the tapeworms Echinococcus multilocularis and Echinococcus granulosus s.l. The two main types of this disease are cystic echinococcosis (CE) and alveolar echinococcosis (AE). More...18 Jan 2021

Serum Pentosidine Levels Measured in Systemic Lupus Erythematosus
Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), is the most common type of lupus. SLE is an autoimmune disease in which the immune system attacks its own tissues, causing widespread inflammation and tissue damage in the affected organs. It can affect the joints, skin, brain, lungs, kidneys, and blood vessels. More...14 Jan 2021

Angiopoietin-Like 2 Is a Biomarker for Diabetic Foot Patients
Diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs) are one of the common complications in type 2 diabetes mellitus patients and are chartered by lower extremity vascular obstructions, persistent foot infections, ulcers, and deep tissue destruction. More...14 Jan 2021

Combination Urinary Biomarker Panel Detects Pancreatic Cancer Earlier
Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is one of the deadliest cancers, with only around 9% of patients surviving more than 5 years. Asymptomatic in its initial stages, PDAC is mostly diagnosed late, when already a locally advanced or metastatic disease, as there are no useful biomarkers for detection in its early stages, when surgery can be curative. More...11 Jan 2021

Chitotriosidase Expression in Sarcoidosis Limited by Gene Expression
Sarcoidosis is a multisystem granulomatous disease which affects individuals worldwide of all ages irrespective of ethnicity or race. It is often recognized accidentally when a routine chest radiographic picture shows bilateral hilar lymphadenopathy. More...06 Jan 2021
