Biomarkers Correlated with Idiopathic Inflammatory Myopathy

Patients with idiopathic inflammatory myositis (IIM) typically present with muscle weakness, myalgia and in case of dermatomyositis (DM) also skin involvement. Arthralgia is often present, but the articular manifestations are usually mild and non-destructive. More...

Novel Biomarkers Predict CV Events in Type 2 Diabetes

Cardiovascular disease generally refers to conditions that involve narrowed or blocked blood vessels that can lead to a heart attack, chest pain (angina) or stroke. Cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk prediction represents an increasing clinical challenge in the treatment of diabetes. More...

Diagnostic Techniques Evaluated for Cystic Echinococcosis

Cystic echinococcosis (CE) is one of the most widespread helminthic zoonoses and is caused by the tapeworm Echinococcus granulosus complex. CE diagnosis and monitoring primarily rely on imaging techniques, complemented by serology. More...

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...
