Urine Test Detects River Blindness Filarial Worm

River blindness is a filarial disease, like elephantiasis, and occurs when the parasitic worm Onchocerca volvulus takes up residence in the skin. Adult worms deposit microfilaria at an alarming rate, which are ultimately re-spread by blackfly bites. More...

Biomarker Low Predictive Power Validated for eGFR Decline

Glomerular filtration rate (GFR) is a measure of the function of the kidneys. This test measures the level of creatinine in the blood and uses the result in a formula to calculate a number that reflects how well the kidneys are functioning, called the estimated GFR or eGFR. More...

Inflammation Biomarkers Identified as Risk of Polyneuropathy

Polyneuropathy is one of the most common complications in people with diabetes. First symptoms are often pins-and-needles sensations in the feet. Although polyneuropathy is present in about 30% of people with diabetes, it often remains undiagnosed. More...

Analysis of Nasal Polyps Suggests Mechanisms of Inflammation

Allergic inflammation can develop from persistent activation of type 2 immunity in the upper airway, resulting in chronic rhinosinusitis, which ranges in severity from rhinitis to severe nasal polyps. More...

Methods Discriminate Dengue Severity during Acute Infection

Dengue is the most widely distributed mosquito-borne human viral disease and represents a major public health burden globally. An estimated 390 million infections occur each year, of which around 100 million are symptomatic. More...

Serum S-100β Elevated in Septic Shock Patients with Delirium

A high prevalence of delirium is observed in sepsis, yet specific markers for this brain dysfunction in sedated patients are still lacking. Cytoplasmic low molecular weight calcium-binding protein, S-100β, is a commonly used nonspecific marker for brain injury. More...

POC Blood Test Can Help Prevent Toxoplasmosis

Toxoplasma gondii gains access to human hosts when they eat undercooked contaminated meat or are exposed to material contaminated by feces from an acutely infected cat, which usually goes unrecognized. More...
