Blood Test Could Predict Multiple Sclerosis Progression
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is an immune-mediated neurodegenerative disease of the central nervous system (CNS), with a highly variable inter-individual disease course. As a result, even if using existing clinical prognostic factors, the forecasting of long-term prognosis is often unreliable and imprecise. More...01 Jul 2020
Diagnostic Assay Developed for Unclassified Severe Combined Immune Deficiency
Severe combined immune deficiency (SCID) is a group of rare hereditary genetic disorders, and is characterized by a total absence of immune system function, including an absence of T-lymphocytes, the white blood cells that play a crucial role in the body's immune defense. More...30 Jun 2020

Detection Rate of Monoclonal Gammopathy of Undetermined Significance Determined
Multiple myeloma (MM) is a clonal plasma cell malignancy that accounts for approximately 2% of all malignancies. Plasma cells help you fight infections by making antibodies that recognize and attack pathogens. Multiple myeloma causes cancer cells to accumulate in the bone marrow, where they displace healthy blood cells. More...30 Jun 2020

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
