Unconventional Cells Trigger Cytokine Production in Spondyloarthritis
Spondyloarthritides (SpA) refers to a cluster of inflammatory rheumatic diseases with a significant social-economic burden, affecting nearly 1% to 2% of the Western population. It is a complex disease with a diverse range of disease manifestations including spinal and peripheral joint inflammation. More...22 Jan 2019
CD69 Biomarker Expression Predicts Atherosclerosis Risk
Atherosclerosis is a disease characterized by the accumulation of lipid deposits in the artery wall, but the disease is usually not detected until after it has caused a clinical event such as a myocardial infarction or stroke. More...22 Jan 2019
Rapid Diagnostic Tests Evaluated for HIV/Syphilis
Sexually transmitted infections, such as human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and syphilis, are among the major health care problems worldwide, especially in low- and middle-income countries. HIV screening programs have been widely used for many years. More...22 Jan 2019
Persistent Fatigue Induced by Interferon-Alpha
Chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS), or myalgic encephalomyelitis (ME), is a mysterious condition. The main symptom of CFS is extreme and often unrelenting fatigue; others include muscle and joint pain, sleep issues, and flu-like symptoms. More...21 Jan 2019
Genetic Mutation Identified for TB Vulnerability
About one in five people worldwide are infected with Mycobacterium tuberculosis, the bacterium that causes tuberculosis. Of those, only 10%, at most, will show symptoms, because most immune systems have tools to fight the microbe. When these tools are absent or dysfunctional, however, the infection can damage the lungs and other organs, and even cause death. More...15 Jan 2019
Calprotectin Independently Predicts Relapse in Treated RA
Calprotectin is a biomarker of disease activity in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and psoriatic arthritis (PsA) and predicts relapse in juvenile idiopathic arthritis. Higher drug trough serum levels are associated with a good response in patients treated with tumor necrosis factor inhibitors (TNFi). More...14 Jan 2019
Urinary Biomarkers Associated with Kidney Disease Risk Factors
The improved life expectancy among treated human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-positive patients has been tempered by the excess burden of age-related non-infectious co-morbidities, including chronic kidney disease (CKD). More...14 Jan 2019
