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.

Rare Inflammatory Disease Identified in Children
A rare, deadly inflammatory disease among young children, known as otulipenia has been discovered, and it is caused by the malfunction of OTULIN, a gene on chromosome 5 that regulates the development of new blood vessels and the mobilization of infection-fighting cells and proteins.

Triage Colorectal Cancer Screening Test Should Reduce Colonoscopy Referral
The most frequently used first line screening test for colorectal cancer across Europe is the fecal immunochemical test (FIT) and patients with a positive score following FIT tests are then referred for colonoscopy. More...20 Sep 2016
Sensitive Clinical Marker Defined for Ulcerative Colitis Evolution
The two main subtypes of inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD), Crohn’s disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC) are characterized by episodes of inflammatory activity and remission and determination of disease activity remains challenging, with most clinical scores correlating poorly with the inflammatory state.
