Novel Serum Biomarker Investigated for Early Gastric Cancer Diagnosis

Gastric cancer (GC) is one of the most common causes of cancer-related death worldwide. More importantly, most reported GC cases are in developing countries. The high mortality of GC is often due to its nonspecific symptoms and delayed diagnosis. More...

Immune Chemokines Biomarkers Explored for Pediatric Tuberculosis Diagnosis

Diagnosis of active tuberculosis (TB) in children provides a key challenge, because most of the clinical symptoms of TB in children are non-specific with signs and symptoms that resemble common pediatric illnesses, including pneumonia and malnutrition and therefore clinical diagnosis is unreliable. More...

Inflammation Associated with Heart Failure in Rheumatoid Arthritis

Heart failure is a major cause of morbidity and mortality in Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA), but data for the subtypes of heart failure, with preserved ejection fraction versus reduced ejection fraction, have been sparse. More...

Osteopontin Biomarker Evaluated for COVID-19 Severity and MIS-C

Multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children (MIS-C) is a serious condition that appears to be linked to coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). Most children who become infected with the COVID-19 virus have only a mild illness. More...

Low Anti-SARS-CoV-2 S Antibody Levels Predict Increased Mortality

Anti-SARS-CoV-2 spike (S) antibodies bind to multiple domains in this viral protein. Host antibodies directed at the receptor binding domain (RBD) mediate inhibition of viral attachment to cell surface receptors. More...
