Characteristic Chemical Signature Identified for Chronic Fatigue Syndrome
Chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) is a multisystem disease that causes long-term pain and disability and it is difficult to diagnose because of its protean symptoms and the lack of a diagnostic laboratory test. More...15 Sep 2016





Prognostic Biomarkers Predict Dengue Shock and Organ Failure
There are presently no biomarkers that can predict the incidence of dengue shock and/or organ failure, although the early identification of risk factors is important in determining appropriate management to reduce mortality. More...07 Sep 2016

Serum Albumin Levels Associated with Mortality in Hemodialysis Patients
Serum albumin is commonly used as a proxy for nutritional status, as well as a marker of inflammation and a low serum albumin concentration is not only indicative of protein energy wasting in dialysis patients, but it is also a powerful predictor of the mortality risk in this population.
