Proinflammatory T Cell Polarization Investigated in Early Knee Osteoarthritis

In osteoarthritis (OA), the cartilage in the knee joint gradually wears away. As the cartilage wears away, it becomes frayed and rough, and the protective space between the bones decreases. This can result in bone rubbing on bone, and produce painful bone spurs. Osteoarthritis develops slowly and the pain it causes worsens over time. More...

Alzheimer's Progression Tracked with Blood Biomarkers

Alzheimer disease (AD) is a neurodegenerative disorder characterized by the accumulation of amyloid-β (Aβ) plaques and neurofibrillary tangles of hyperphosphorylated tau in the brain. These neuropathological changes are believed to take part in a cascade of events that result in a characteristic neurodegeneration pattern followed by progressive cognitive impairment. More...

Early Differences in Cytokine Production Distinguish Severity of COVID-19

Most COVID-19 patients experience asymptomatic/mild symptoms, but some suffer critical symptoms requiring intensive care. It is important to determine how asymptomatic/mild patients react to SARS-CoV-2 infection and suppress virus spread. More...

Mismatch Repair/Microsatellite Instability Evaluated Using Cytology Effusion Specimens

DNA mismatch repair (MMR) status is routinely assessed in colorectal and endometrial carcinoma as a method of cancer prevention, surveillance in patients with Lynch syndrome and their families, and for prognostic, predictive, and therapeutic implications. More...

Tryptophan Metabolism Is Dysregulated in Individuals with Fanconi Anemia

Fanconi anemia (FA) is a complex genetic disorder frequently associated with progressive marrow failure and a strong predisposition to early malignancies, particularly squamous cell carcinomas and hepatocellular carcinomas. More...

Basophil Activation Test Predicts Pediatric Wheezing Prognosis

Although asthma is a common chronic airway inflammatory disease in children, the natural history of asthma remains unknown. It is difficult to diagnose asthma in children aged under five years because of the complexity of wheezing phenotypes at that age. More...

Increased Serum Neurofilament Light Portend Worse Prognosis in COVID-19

There is emerging evidence for multifarious neurological manifestations of COVID‐19, while little is known whether they reflect structural damage to the nervous system. The most commonly reported neurological manifestations of COVID-19 were myalgia, headache, altered sensorium, hyposmia, and hypogeusia. More...
