Immunoglobulin Levels Investigated in Adults with IgG Subclass Deficiency
Immunoglobulin G (IgG) subclass deficiency (IgGSD) is characterized by frequent or severe upper or lower respiratory tract infection, one or more subnormal IgG subclass level(s) unexplained by other causes, and decreased IgG response to pneumococcal polysaccharide vaccination (PPSV).

Biomarker p-120 Catenin Distinguishes Conventional Urothelial Carcinoma from Variants
Plasmacytoid urothelial carcinoma (PC-UC) is an infrequent and clinically aggressive variant of urothelial carcinoma (UC). Initially, PC-UC was identified based on morphology as a potential mimicker of malignant plasma cell and lymphoid neoplasms and is characterized by loss of E-cadherin (E-Cad)–mediated intercellular adhesion.

Automated Assays Evaluated For High-Sensitivity Thyroglobulin Measurement
Thyroglobulin (Tg) is a tumor marker for differentiated thyroid carcinoma (DTC) originating from thyroid follicular cell and is an important tumor marker for therapy control. Over the past decade, assays for highly sensitive Tg measurement have become increasingly established. More...12 Aug 2021


Multitarget Fecal Immunochemical Test Validated for Colorectal Cancer
Colorectal cancer (CRC) starts in the colon or the rectum. These cancers can also be called colon cancer or rectal cancer, depending on where they start. Colon cancer and rectal cancer are often grouped together because they have many features in common. More...08 Aug 2021

Urinary Epidermal Growth Factor Investigated for Diabetes Nephropathy
Type 1 diabetes mellitus is an auto-immune metabolic disease with chronic hyperglycemia. For many patients with type 1 diabetes (T1DM), it is challenging to maintain near-normal glucose blood levels and to reduce the risk of both acute (hypoglycemia, ketoacidosis) and chronic microvascular (retinopathy, neuropathy and nephropathy) and macrovascular complications.
