T-Cells with CD20 Protein Marker May Drive Early Multiple Sclerosis

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a condition that can affect the brain and spinal cord, causing a wide range of potential symptoms, including problems with vision, arm or leg movement, sensation or balance. It's a lifelong condition that can sometimes cause serious disability, although it can occasionally be mild. 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...
