Dengue Virus IgM Serotyped by ELISA
Dengue virus (DENV) is an arthropod-borne flavivirus that is endemic in tropical and subtropical regions, causing hundreds of millions of infections annually. It is subdivided into four serotypes, DENV-1–4. After infection, patients have lifelong immunity against the homologous serotype but remain susceptible to infections with the others.

Genetic and Epigenetic Features Found in Glioma Tumors
Neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) is a multisystem genetic disorder that is characterized by cutaneous findings, most notably café-au-lait spots and axillary freckling, by skeletal dysplasias, and by the growth of both benign and malignant nervous system tumors, most notably benign neurofibromas.

Urinary Biomarkers for Tuberculosis Explored
The gold standard for tuberculosis (TB) diagnosis is the isolation in culture of Mycobacterium tuberculosis in biological samples. However, culture is time consuming and does not accomplish the need of quickly and properly starting treatment, it is not always feasible in extra-pulmonary TB and it is difficult to carry out in resource-limited settings. More...25 Dec 2018
Vitamin D Measured in Patients with Diabetic Foot
Peripheral artery disease (PAD) is the underlying predisposing factor in the etiology of the majority of diabetic feet. Vitamin D plays a role in calcium and bone metabolism and it is known to be an important immune modulator agent. More...19 Dec 2018
Inflammatory Bowel Disease Linked to Prostate Cancer
About one million men have inflammatory bowel disease in the USA, a common chronic condition that includes Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis. Epidemiologic studies have noted an association between chronic inflammation and prostate cancer. More...18 Dec 2018
Tau Blood Test Developed for Alzheimer's Disease
Presently, the only way to definitively diagnose Alzheimer's disease in life is through brain scans and tests of cerebrospinal fluid that must be collected via lumbar puncture. Though cumbersome and expensive, such tests provide the most accurate diagnoses for patients. More...17 Dec 2018
Strongyloidiasis Antibodies Found in Transplant Donors
Strongyloidiasis is a neglected tropical disease caused by a parasite, which is endemic in most parts of the world. It can cause a life-threatening disease among immunosuppressed individuals and can be transmitted from solid organ transplant (SOT) donors to recipients. More...10 Dec 2018
