Abstract Objective Hypophosphatasia (HPP) is a rare disease characterized by incomplete or defective bone mineralization due to a mutation in the alkaline phosphatase (ALP) gene causing low levels of ALP. Disease presentation is heterogeneous and can present as a chronic pain syndrome like...

Composite reference standards are used to evaluate the accuracy of a new test in the absence of a perfect reference test. A composite reference standard defines a fixed, transparent rule to classify subjects into disease positive and disease negative groups based on existing imperfect tests. The...

Abstract Background Myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS) is a multifaceted condition that affects most body systems. There is currently no known diagnostic biomarker; instead, diagnosis is dependent on application of symptom-based case criteria following exclusion of any...

One of the difficulties in studying and treating long COVID is that we don’t currently have a definitive way to diagnose it. And without a diagnostic test, the condition becomes much harder to manage or study. Eva Higginbotham spoke to Danny Altmann, an immunologist from Imperial College London...

Hi everyone, I’m keen to know if any forum members have knowledge – or personal experience – of the role of peripheral nervous system tests in ME/CFS diagnosis and in symptom-specific treatments (examples: electromyography and nerve conduction studies; skin biopsy to evaluate epidermal nerve...

Nanoelectric device could lead to a diagnostic blood test for ME/CFS Last week, Dr Ron Davis’s team published a pilot study showing remarkable results for their nanoneedle device. Strikingly, there was no overlap between the results for 20 ME/CFS patients and those for 20 healthy controls...
