Presepsin Concentrations Correlate with Kidney Function Decline

Sepsis is an important public health problem with more than 750,000 patients reported yearly in the USA with similar figures in Europe. Sepsis continues to be a challenge for practitioners, as sepsis mortality rates are still high despite new antimicrobial and resuscitation agents. More...

Immune Processes Linked to Multiple Sclerosis Genetics

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is an autoimmune inflammatory degenerative disease of the central nervous system that often starts in young adulthood and affects 2.3 million individuals worldwide. While prior genetic studies have implicated the adaptive immune system in the disease, in particular T cells, much of the genetic architecture of MS has remained unknown. More...

Specific Cytokines Are Significant Biomarkers for AML

Acute myeloid leukemia is a hematopoietic neoplasm derived from early progenitor myeloid cells; it is characterized by clonal expansion of myeloblasts, which are immature myeloid progenitors that accumulate in the bone marrow (BM). More...

Blood Monocyte Functions Altered in Parkinson's Disease

Parkinson's disease is characterized by the slow degeneration of the neurons in brain due to the abnormal accumulation of a protein called alpha-synuclein. This leads to the patients shaking and then to the slow, stiff movements which many people associate with the disease. More...

Molecular Changes Associated with Treating Lymphatic Filariasis

Lymphatic filariasis (LF) is a disabling neglected tropical disease that is caused by the mosquito-borne filarial parasites Wuchereria bancrofti, Brugia malayi and B. timori. Adult worms live in the human host’s lymphatic system and release larval parasites (microfilariae or Mf) that circulate in the blood. More...

Immunochromatographic Strip Test Developed for Rift Valley Fever

Rift Valley fever (RVF) is an emerging mosquito-borne disease that affects a wide range of animals and human beings in Africa and the Arabian Peninsula. A rapid and specific test for RVF diagnosis at the site of a suspected outbreak is crucial for the implementation of control measures. More...

RT-PCR Evaluated for Diagnosis of Imported Schistosomiasis

Schistosomiasis is one of the most important human parasitic neglected tropical diseases. It is a major source of morbidity and mortality in Africa but also in South America, the Caribbean, the Middle East, and Asia. More...
