A home test to help patients manage long covid at home has been developed and is available to download. The test can be done by anyone with symptoms of autonomic dysfunction in conditions such as long covid, chronic fatigue syndrome, fibromyalgia, and diabetes 1 and 2 where people get feelings such as dizziness or blackouts.

Researchers at the National Institutes of Health have found that a novel blood test can be used to easily evaluate disease severity in patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension and predict survivability.

Researchers have deciphered a mechanism in mice and patients that leads to ANCA-associated vasculitis, in which excessive inflammatory reactions lead to pulmonary hemorrhages.

According to a study, the diagnosis of autism could be improved by considering the differences between how women and men experience and act upon their emotions.

Researchers have developed a new quantitative RT-qPCR assay that is able to detect the Omicron variant of SARS-CoV-2 in wastewater.

High-throughput testing has been used to study neurodegenerative diseases for the first time and has identified novel risk genes for dementia.

Researchers have successfully engineered human immune cells to model an infection common among immunocompromised children in a breakthrough discovery, paving the way for new drug testing and treatments.

A new prenatal test developed by researchers at Columbia University Fertility Center can determine if a fetus or embryo has the right number of chromosomes at a fraction of the time and cost of currently available clinical genetic tests.

An easy-to-use diagnostic test for COVID infection has been created that is more sensitive than the commonly used at-home antigen tests, and that also allows for the rapid and specific detection of SARS-CoV-2 variants in point-of-care settings.
