Fecal Zonulin Elevated in Crohn’s Disease and Smokers
Human zonulin is a protein that increases permeability in the epithelial layer of the small intestine by reversibly modulating the intercellular tight junctions. There is not sufficient information available about zonulin's participation in inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD). More...20 Nov 2017
High Thyroid Hormone Levels Associated with Arterial Disease
Atherosclerosis is the process of progressive thickening and hardening of the walls of arteries from fat deposits on their inner lining. Atherosclerosis progresses insidiously from a subclinical condition to the clinical onset of vascular events to death. More...15 Nov 2017
Autoimmune Disease Discovered Causes Kidney Failure
An insidious new autoimmune disease that causes kidney failure has been discovered. The condition causes a build-up of waste products in the blood and makes it difficult for kidneys to maintain adequate balance of fluid in the body. More...15 Nov 2017
Potential Autoantigen Identified in Aggressive Kidney Disease
Fibrillary glomerulonephritis (FGN) is an aggressive kidney disease, and nearly half of patients become dependent on dialysis within several years of diagnosis. No unique clinical markers of FGN have been identified to help diagnose FGN, and current tests involve time-consuming analyses with light microscopy, immunofluorescence, and electron microscopy. More...13 Nov 2017
Blood Test Can Effectively Rule Out Breast Cancer
Breast density is associated with reduced imaging resolution in the detection of breast cancer. Breast density is a radiologic phenomenon that is not discernable by palpation; it is a radiologist’s assessment. Imaging rays permeate dense breast tissue in a more opaque manner, thereby reducing image resolution. More...07 Nov 2017
