Blood Test May Help Predict Confusion Post-Surgery

Many people experience an extended period of confusion when they awake after surgery and this acute confusional state, called delirium, particularly affects older adults and poses an important clinical challenge as it can lead to greater postoperative complications and may extend hospitalization.

Enterovirus Infections Linked with Autoimmunity Leading to Diabetes

Type 1 diabetes is caused by an immune-mediated process that damages insulin-producing beta cells in the pancreas and the subclinical phase of the disease can be identified by detecting autoantibodies. More...

Blood Test for Gut Bacteria Predicts Cardiovascular Events

The bacteria that inhabit the gut digest food and produce metabolites that can have a marked effect on the heart and blood vessels. A molecule called trimethylamine N-oxide (TMAO) could predict this risk not only in the short-term but also the risk of death in the longer term. More...

New Index Generated for Diagnosing Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease

Based on clinical data, researchers have generated a new fatty liver index (FLI) that can predict the presence of fatty liver disease (FLD) with high accuracy, enabling development of an extended, more effective diagnostic index for nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NA-FLD), which has become an epidemic in industrialized countries.
