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

Protein Particle Parameters Help Differentiate Acute Kawasaki Disease
Kawasaki disease (KD) is a self-limited vasculitis that typically presents in young children as an acute illness with fever and mucocutaneous changes. If KD is incorrectly diagnosed or left untreated, coronary artery aneurysms (CAA) may develop, predisposing KD patients to long-term cardiovascular complications including myocardial ischemia and infarction.
