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
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.
