Immune System Altered in Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

 Myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS) is a severe, chronic, and debilitating disease that can cause a range of symptoms including pain, severe exhaustion, cognitive impairment, and post-exertional malaise, the worsening of symptoms after physical or mental activity. More...

Circulating Trophoblast-Based Noninvasive Prenatal Testing Are Feasible

 Circulating cells from the fetus or placenta in a pregnant woman’s blood, primarily trophoblasts and nucleated fetal red blood cells (fnRBCs), have long been appreciated as potential targets for noninvasive prenatal testing (NIPT) and diagnosis. More...

Multiple Sclerosis Linked to Variant of Common Herpes Virus

 Multiple sclerosis, MS, is an autoimmune disease that affects the central nervous system. The cause of the disease is unclear, but one plausible explanation is a virus deceives the immune system to attack the body's own tissue. More...

Diagnosis and Monitoring of Patients with Hepatitis C Virus

 The global prevalence of people with hepatitis C virus (HCV) antibodies (anti-HCV-positive) is estimated to be 115 million, and 80 million of them have an active infection (anti-HCV-positive and HCV-RNA-positive). More...

Image: HbA1c Advanced Clinical Chemistry Diabetes Assay: to diagnose maturity-onset diabetes of the young (MODY), screening for at least three autoantibodies and HbA1c testing should takes place in all youth at the time of diabetes diagnosis (Photo courtesy of Beckman Coulter)

Three Factors Distinguish MODY, a Rare Diabetes, in Youth

 Identifying maturity-onset diabetes of the young (MODY) in pediatric populations close to diabetes diagnosis is difficult. Misdiagnosis and unnecessary insulin treatment are common. MODY is a monogenic, dominantly inherited form of diabetes that typically arises in adolescence or young adulthood, and accounts for 1%-4% of cases of pediatric diabetes. More...
