High Cholesterol Linked to Risk of Tendinopathy

People with genetically determined very high cholesterol levels, as in familial hypercholesterolaemia, seem to be at greater risk of tendon pain, but it is not clear if those with lower, but still high levels might also be vulnerable to tendon injuries.   More...

Quick Test Minimizes Unnecessary Primary Care Antibiotic Prescribing

C-reactive protein is a biomarker in blood which indicates the presence of inflammation, and the amount of CRP in the body gives an indication of the severity of an infection. Low levels of CRP are indicative of viral or self-limiting bacterial infections, and high levels indicate serious infection.   More...
