Portable Device Rapidly Detects Measles and Rubella

Serosurveys are useful for assessing population susceptibility to vaccine-preventable disease outbreaks. Many point-of-care diagnostics rely on lateral flow assays or microfluidics; however, these methods generally cannot test multiple samples simultaneously. More...

Leprosy Neural Impairment Diagnosis Evaluated by Tests

Leprosy is a chronic infectious disease caused by Mycobacterium leprae, an obligate intracellular parasite with a predilection for infecting peripheral nerves and skin. Leprosy is a current and challenging disease, because it still represents a problem for public health in developing countries. More...

New Test Predicts Risk of Preterm Birth

A test has been developed to predict a woman's risk of preterm birth when she is between 15 and 20 weeks pregnant, which may enable doctors to treat them early and prevent severe complications later in the pregnancy. More...

Specific Biomarker Discovered for Rheumatoid Arthritis

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is an autoimmune disorder that occurs when the immune system mistakenly attacks the body's tissues. Unlike the wear-and-tear damage of osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis affects the lining of the joints, causing painful swelling that can eventually result in bone erosion and joint deformity.

Image: A histopathology of classic Mycosis fungoides. This skin biopsy specimen demonstrates an atypical lymphocytic infiltrate going up into the epidermis (epidermotropism) in the absence of epidermal edema (spongiosis). The collection of atypical lymphocytes surrounding a Langerhans cell is a Pautrier microabcess, the hallmark of classic MF (Photo courtesy of the University of Pennsylvania).

Tool Predicts Deadly Form of Mycosis Fungoides

Mycosis fungoides (MF), the most common cutaneous T cell lymphoma (CTCL) is a malignancy of skin-tropic memory T cells. Most MF cases present as early stage (stage I A/B, limited to the skin), and these patients typically have a chronic, indolent clinical course. More...
