Cardiac Troponins Assessed for Acute Heart Failure

Heart failure (HF) is a clinical syndrome characterized by dyspnea, peripheral edema and fatigue. Diagnosing HF can be difficult due to overlapping symptoms with other conditions, and the phenotype of HF varies due to a broad spectrum of underlying pathophysiology. More...

Biomarker Protein Investigated in Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis

Juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) is the most common pediatric rheumatologic disease that may persist into adulthood and impact quality of life. The diagnosis is mainly based on clinical assessment rather than relying on laboratory testing. More...

Immune Response to Insulin Identifies Risk of Juvenile-Diabetes

Type 1 diabetes (T1D), also known as juvenile diabetes, is a form of diabetes in which very little or no insulin is produced by the islets of Langerhans (containing β-cells) in the pancreas. Insulin is a hormone required for the body to use blood sugar. More...

Fibrinogen to Albumin Ratio Reflects ANCA‐Associated Vasculitis Activity

Microscopic polyangiitis (MPA), granulomatosis with polyangiitis (GPA) and eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis (EGPA) belong to a group of anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA)‐associated vasculitis (AAV). More...

Rh Alloimmunization Explored in Chronically Transfused Thalassemia Patients

Chronic life-long transfusions are often required for patients with severe thalassemia to provide normal red blood cells and to suppress the patients’ own ineffective erythropoiesis. Cumulative exposure increases the risk for red cell alloimmunization and subsequent delayed hemolytic transfusion reactions (DHTRs). More...

Blood Biomarker Predicts Dementia in Cerebral Small Vessel Disease

Cerebral small vessel disease (SVD) is a highly prevalent condition, which causes lacunar stroke, vascular cognitive impairment and vascular dementia. Few treatments have been shown to delay disease progression. More...

Urinary Antigen Test Kit Evaluated for Diagnosing Legionella Pneumonia

Legionellosis is caused by bacteria called Legionella. The disease has two different forms. Legionnaires’ disease is the more severe form of infection that causes pneumonia. Pontiac fever is caused by the same bacteria, but is a milder illness without pneumonia. More...
