Helicobacter Pylori Immunoassays Evaluated for Efficacy
Helicobacter pylori are curved gram negative bacilli and have been etiologically associated with several pathogenic conditions of the stomach ranging from gastritis to gastric cancer. Prevalence of H. pylori infection varies based on several factors globally and in developing countries more than 80% of the population is infected with H. pylori. More...19 Mar 2018
Biological Markers in Tears May Diagnose PD
Parkinson's disease is a progressive disorder that kills brain cells that produce dopamine, which is a chemical messenger important for the control of movement. The main symptoms of Parkinson's include slowness of movement, tremors, rigidity, and difficulty maintaining balance and coordination. More...15 Mar 2018
Immunoassay Monitors Parasite Persistence in Chagas Disease
The Trypanosoma cruzi parasite is the causative agent of Chagas disease, and infects about six million individuals in more than 20 countries. Monitoring parasite persistence in infected individuals is of utmost importance to develop and evaluate treatments to control the disease. More...01 Mar 2018
Novel Saliva-Based PCR Assay Detects HIV Antibodies Earlier
An oral fluid-based test for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) shows promise as a population-based screening tool. According to its developers, the test is easier to collect than blood but yields results that are just as reliable. More...28 Feb 2018
Immune Signature Predicts Asthma Susceptibility
Asthma is a chronic inflammatory disease driven by the interplay of genetics, environmental factors and a diverse cast of immune cells. A subset of T cells has been identified whose frequency serves as early childhood immune signature that predicts the risk of developing asthma later on. More...27 Feb 2018
