Can a new blood test really detect ME/CFS? An expert unpacks new research
New blood test for ME/CFS: exciting but early days Researchers in the United Kingdom say they have developed a blood test that might diagnose myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS) with about 96% overall accuracy. If validated in larger groups, this could be the first objective tool to support the long, often frustrating process of ME/CFS…

Autism Isn’t a Single Condition: Scientists Explain
Autism Is Not a Single Condition For decades, autism has often been treated as a single diagnosis with a single cause. A growing body of research now argues otherwise: autism is a spectrum of conditions with multiple roots. Scientists across neuroscience, genetics, and psychology emphasize that there is no one culprit that explains all cases.…

Rheumatoid arthritis may begin years before symptoms: can it be prevented?
Understanding the hidden start of rheumatoid arthritis Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a systemic autoimmune disease that causes inflammation and can progressively damage joints. New research suggests that the disease often begins long before the first pains are felt, with a hidden phase that can last many years. A large seven-year study tracked individuals at elevated…

Early Signs of Multiple Sclerosis Identified Up to 5 Years Before Diagnosis
Understanding Multiple Sclerosis Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic neurological disease with no known cure. Early diagnosis is crucial for slowing disease progression and minimizing disability risks. Recent extensive studies have shed light on a range of early symptoms that may present itself years before a definitive diagnosis, giving healthcare providers a chance to intervene…

Transforming Alzheimer’s Disease Diagnosis with Biomarkers
The New Era of Alzheimer’s Disease Diagnosis Recent advances in medical research are reshaping how Alzheimer’s disease is diagnosed. Traditionally, the diagnosis relied heavily on clinical assessments and imaging scans, often leading to delays and inaccuracies. However, a new pathway integrating blood and brain biomarkers shows promise in delivering faster and more equitable diagnoses. Understanding…
