Biomarkers For Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome

Biomarkers For Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome

The study suggesting that the postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome; or POTS, is an autoimmune disorder, and may help pave the way for a simple blood test; that could help physicians diagnose the condition. POTS is characterized by large increases in heart rate and sometimes decreases in blood pressure when standing up. That can cause lightheadedness,…

Immunological Signatures Biomarkers For Detecting Malaria

Immunological Signatures Biomarkers For Detecting Malaria

Researchers identifying biomarkers to predict that if someone infecting with malaria will get sick; Immunological signatures can predict whether malaria-infected children will develop fever or other symptoms; Surprisingly, activation of the well-known tumor-suppressor protein p53 is associated with enhanced protection against malaria fever and increasing p53 in human immune cells and in mice results in a…

Developing A CYP2C19 Genotype Guided Strategy For Testing

Developing A CYP2C19 Genotype Guided Strategy For Testing

According to the study this finding and developing a CYP2C19 genotype guided strategy; in which patients with no loss of function of allele were treating with clopidogrel and those with the allele were giving ticagrelor or prasugrel. These patients are at risk for stent thrombosis but also spontaneous myocardial infarction. therefore treated, most of the…

Challenges Of Consistently Diagnosing Child Blood Samples

Challenges Of Consistently Diagnosing Child Blood Samples

According to the study, researchers investigating challenges of testing children’s blood; were highlighting the challenges of consistently diagnosing child blood samples; and sourcing healthy samples for research. As the study saying that laboratories test whether levels of blood biomarkers (like sodium and potassium) are within a normal range but defining normal can be difficult, especially…

Methylation Of MicroRNA As A Powerful Biomarker For Cancer

Methylation Of MicroRNA As A Powerful Biomarker For Cancer

The study identifying that methylation of microRNA may be a new powerful biomarker for cancer; were individuals with early pancreatic cancer from healthy controls, representing a promising new metric in cancer diagnosis. Levels of molecules associated with genetic function, such as microRNA, can be an important indicator of abnormal activity associated with cancer. However, little…
