Impact of Preanalytical Factors on Calprotectin Concentration in Stool
In inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), fecal calprotectin measurement is increasingly important in selecting patients for diagnostic endoscopy, monitoring of disease activity, and evaluation of treatment response. More...29 Dec 2022
Antiphospholipid Antibodies in Patients With Unexplained Articular Manifestations
Joint pain is the most common chronic pain making it one of the largest causes of disabilities in the world. Arthritis is a frequent condition that causes edema, redness, heat, loss of function and pain. It can affect one or more joints and there exist more than 100 different types. More...21 Dec 2022
CSF Immunoassays Aid Diagnosis of Early Alzheimer’s Disease
The pathological processes underlying Alzheimer’s disease (AD) begin many years before clinical presentation. Ongoing drug discovery efforts in AD focus on developing disease-modifying treatments aiming to delay onset or progression of dementia and must be initiated early in the disease process. More...21 Dec 2022
Autoimmunity-Associated T Cell Receptors Recognize HLA-Variant-Bound Peptides
The immune response in autoimmune disease recapitulates that of responses directed against infection, except that self-antigens are, or become, the target of the adaptive immune system. These self-antigens may drive a process that is localized within a specific organ, such as the thyroid gland (Grave’s disease, Hashimoto’s thyroiditis) or brain (multiple sclerosis). More...13 Dec 2022
Blood Test for Myocarditis Detects Heart Inflammation
Myocarditis is a difficult condition to diagnose. Symptoms include a temperature, fatigue, chest pain and shortness of breath, which can all be easily mistaken for other conditions. The gold standard method for diagnosis is a heart biopsy, an expensive, invasive, and risky procedure which can sometimes still miss signs of the condition. More...05 Dec 2022
Interleukins and Vitamin D Evaluated in Women With Graves' Disease
Graves' disease (GD), an autoimmune disorder specific to the thyroid, is the leading cause of hyperthyroidism due to an enlarged and hyperactive thyroid gland, associated with extra-thyroidal manifestations, such as orbitopathy and pretibial myxedema. More...23 Nov 2022
