The histopathologic changes indicate the presence of Aspergillus sp. fungal organisms. Note the branching hyphae amongst the lung tissue (Photo courtesy of the Armed Forces Institute of Pathology).

Routine Blood Parameters Predict Invasive Aspergillosis Prognosis

Aspergillosis occurs in chronic or acute forms which are clinically very distinct. Most cases of acute aspergillosis occur in patients with severely compromised immune systems, e.g. those undergoing bone marrow transplantation. Symptoms include fever, chills, shock, delirium, seizures, and blood clots. More...

Hematological Ratios Associated with Mortality in Pediatric Trauma Patients

Trauma-related injury as a potential cause of death affects millions of people worldwide, especially in less developed countries and furthermore, it is the leading cause of mortality in pediatric trauma patients. More...

Increased HbA1c Identifies Rapid Kidney Function Deterioration in Diabetics

Among adults with multiple hospital admissions, those with type 2 diabetes were more likely to have worsening renal function compared with those without diabetes. The association between glycemic status prior to the first hospital presentation with developing adverse renal outcomes overtime in patients with multiple hospital re-admissions has been assessed. More...

Cardiac Biomarkers Identify High-Risk Kidney Disease Patients

Cardiovascular disease (CVD) claims more lives in people with chronic kidney disease (CKD) than complications of kidney disease and this can be explained in part by shared common risk factors including hypertension, diabetes, hyperlipidemia, smoking, and obesity. More...

Reliable detection of Aspergillus antigen
The Aspergillus Antigen ELISA provides quantitative determination of Aspergillus-specific galactomannoprotein in patient serum or bronchoalveolar lavage fluid for the diagnosis of invasive aspergillosis.

High Levels of Blood Hormones Raise Prostate Cancer Risk

Men with higher levels of 'free' testosterone and a growth hormone in their blood are more likely to be diagnosed with prostate cancer. Other factors such as older age, ethnicity and a family history of the disease are already known to increase a man's risk of developing prostate cancer. More...

Diagnostic Values of Serum STAT4 and sEng Analyzed in Preeclampsia

Preeclampsia is a pregnancy complication characterized by high blood pressure and signs of damage to another organ system, most often the liver and kidneys. Preeclampsia usually begins after 20 weeks of pregnancy in women whose blood pressure had been normal. More...

Vitamin D Deficiency Associated with Impaired Muscle Strength

Maintaining muscle mass and function throughout life is a crucial component of successful ageing. The progressive loss of skeletal muscle mass, accompanied by a loss of muscle strength or performance, in aging, is a feature of primary sarcopenia. More...
