Serological Markers of RA Determined in Patients with aβ2GPI-IgA

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic and systemic autoimmune disease. It is characterized by synovial inflammation that can lead to irreversible joint damage and disability when not managed. Biomarkers of RA available for routine clinical use are rheumatoid factors (RF) and anti-cyclic citrullinated peptides (CCP-Ab). More...

Serum Vimentin Predicts Mortality in Pediatric Severe Sepsis

Sepsis is defined as a life-threatening organ dysfunction caused by a dysregulated host response to infection. It is a leading cause of death worldwide in the pediatric population. Vascular hyperpermeability by loss of endothelial barrier integrity is a hallmark of sepsis. More...
