Immune Regulators Predict Severity of Plasmodium vivax Malaria

Cytokines and chemokines are immune response molecules that display diverse functions, such as inflammation and immune regulation. In Plasmodium vivax infections, the uncontrolled production of these molecules is thought to contribute to pathogenesis and has been proposed as a possible predictor for disease complications.

MRSA/SA PCR Rapid Test Quickly Diagnoses Methicillin Resistance at Point of Care

A new test for the quick diagnosis of methicillin-resistant (MRSA) at the point of the care not only provides rapid RT-PCR results in 53 minutes but differentiates whether the bacterial strain is MRSA or methicillin-sensitive (MSAA) which promotes targeted therapy. More...

Elevated Antibody Levels Identified in Chronic Fatigue Syndrome Patients

Patients with myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS) experience a lingering fatigue that can drastically impair their social and work life. ME/CFS affects approximately 1% of the population, appearing as a heterogeneous disease, with its etiology and pathogenesis still remaining elusive. More...
