Anti-Treponema Immunohistochemistry Cross-Reactivity Reported with Non-Treponema Spirochetes
Syphilis has different histopathologic presentations, and it can mimic a significant number of entities while human intestinal spirochetosis is characterized by the presence of a layer of spirochetes adherent to the apical epithelial surface of the colorectal mucosa. More...12 Oct 2016
Increased Serum Cytokine Concentrations Reported in Guillain-Barré Syndrome
Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS) is an acquired demyelinating peripheral neuropathy and it has been shown that macrophage activation contribute to the pathogenesis of GBS. Therefore macrophage-mediated factors could be the potential markers for disease diagnosis and status of GBS. More...05 Oct 2016
Effectiveness of PD-L1 Tests Compared for Non-Small-Cell Lung Cancer
In a recent study, clinical researchers compared performance of the 4 available assays for the tumor-promoting protein PD-L1 as a biomarker for assessing non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). They found that one assay failed to result in comparable levels of PD-L1, while the three other assays resulted in comparable levels. More...04 Oct 2016
Screening for Latent Tuberculosis Infection Recommended
Tuberculosis remains an important preventable disease, including active tuberculosis infection, which may be infectious and latent infection (LTBI), which is asymptomatic and not infectious, but can later reactivate and progress to active disease. More...29 Sep 2016
Method Developed Predicts Disease Activity in Multiple Sclerosis
Multiple sclerosis, or MS, is an inflammatory disease of the central nervous system that mainly affects young adults and it is not currently possible to know which individuals with multiple sclerosis, a life-long condition, risk developing severe disease. More...28 Sep 2016
Novel Turbidimetric Immunoassay Evaluated for Fecal Calprotectin
Calprotectin is a multifunctional protein that plays an important role in the diagnosis and follow-up of inflammatory bowel disease and high levels of calprotectin in stool samples are associated with inflammation of the intestinal tract. More...28 Sep 2016
Optimal Rule-Out Biomarker Strategy Developed for Acute MI
Assessment of patients presenting to the Emergency Department (ED) with symptoms suggestive of acute coronary syndrome (ACS) represents a major clinical challenge, since the majority of patients do not have a final diagnosis of acute myocardial infarction (AMI). More...27 Sep 2016
