Recombinant Capture Molecule Used for Viral Disease Diagnosis
Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever (CCHF) is an infectious disease endemic in a variety of countries in southeastern Europe, the Middle East, Asia, and Africa. The virus (CCHFV) transmission occurs via the bite of an infected tick and also by close contact with body fluids of infected persons or livestock. More...17 Apr 2019
TB Interferon-Gamma Release Assay Assessed in Children
Pediatric tuberculosis (TB) remains a major public health issue with at least one million children newly identified with TB each year, representing 10% to 11% of all TB cases. It was recently reported an estimate of 250,000 deaths among pediatric TB cases, of whom an estimated 50,000 were children living with HIV infection. More...16 Apr 2019
Immune Signature Drives Leukemia Relapse after Transplantation
Transplantation of hematopoietic cells from a healthy individual (allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (allo-HCT)) demonstrates that adoptive immunotherapy can cure blood cancers: still, post-transplantation relapses remain frequent. More...11 Apr 2019

Haptoglobin Expression Linked to Newborn Outcomes
Proteomics has facilitated discovery of biomarkers to better understand the pathophysiology of early-onset neonatal sepsis with the goal of identifying as early as possible the newborns more likely to die or develop significant morbidity. More...09 Apr 2019

Storage Conditions Affect Urinary Albumin and Creatinine
Moderately increased urinary albumin excretion, formerly known as microalbuminuria, has been established as a risk factor for diabetic kidney disease. Increasing albumin to creatinine ratio (ACR) within the normal range is a risk factor for cardiovascular disease in the general population. More...09 Apr 2019

EBV-DNA Measured in Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma Patients
Nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) is one of the head and neck epithelial cancers and is a serious threat to human health. According to the latest statistics, about 80% of patients with NPC were observed in Asia, especially in Southeast Asia and south China. More...08 Apr 2019
Immune Relationship to Lung Tumor Evolution Characterized
Non-small-cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC) is any type of epithelial lung cancer other than small cell lung carcinoma (SCLC). NSCLC accounts for about 85% of all lung cancers. As a class, NSCLCs are relatively insensitive to chemotherapy, compared to small cell carcinoma. More...04 Apr 2019
