Novel Blood Tests Predict Progression of Parkinson's Disease
It is well established that the cumulative incidence of dementia associated with Parkinson’s disease (PD) is approaching 80% and individuals with PD are five to six times more likely to develop cognitive impairment than age-matched controls. More...25 Feb 2020
Rapid Antigenic Diagnostic Test Validated for Ebola Virus Disease
Hemorrhagic fever outbreaks are difficult to diagnose and control in part because of a lack of low-cost and easily accessible diagnostic structures in countries where etiologic agents are present. Initial clinical symptoms are common and shared with other endemic diseases such as malaria or typhoid fever. More...13 Feb 2020
Novel Reliable Assay for Tuberculosis and LTBI Tested
Tuberculosis (TB), caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB) complex organisms, is still one of the most prevalent human infections worldwide estimated in 2018 with 1.2 million deaths among human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-negative people and an additional 251,000 deaths from TB among HIV-positive people. More...12 Feb 2020
Two Chikungunya Virus IgM Enzyme-Linked Immunoassays Evaluated
Chikungunya virus (CHIKV) is an alphavirus transmitted by Aedes (Stegomyia) spp. mosquitoes. Transmission was initially restricted to small outbreaks and sporadic cases in Africa and Asia, but since early 2000s the virus has caused large outbreaks in India and Southeast Asia. More...11 Feb 2020
Diagnostic Efficacy of Immunomarkers in Fungal Bloodstream Infection
Fungemia is the presence of fungi or yeasts in the blood and is a life‐threatening condition with the global mortality rate surging more than fivefold in the past decade. It has been reported that the outcome depends on early and targeted treatment; thus, prompt diagnosis is essential at the early stage of infection. More...05 Feb 2020
