What happens in physiotherapy assessment?
Physiotherapy is a process wherein the professionals known as physiotherapists provide a series of physical therapy to restore or improve a patient's physical health. Now to prescribe a plan to start the treatment, a physical examination or assessment is done to understand the best course of treatment and help keep a track of the progress. Also, physiotherapy assessment is done to evaluate ...

Focal Molography, A Guide Inside Cellular Pathways
Focal Molography, a Guide Inside Cellular Pathways There are billions of cells in our bodies, each with their own characteristics and functions. To function together, cells need to communicate; during the evolution of multi-cellular organisms, cells have developed communication systems of exceptional complexity. These systems govern every level of communication, and together they dictate cell ...

From Predicting Adherence to Health Outcomes – The Power of Predictive Insights
Clinical researchers have begun adopting predictive analytics to anticipate a patient’s engagement in a clinical trial, including if and how a patient will adhere to their treatment plan. As these models are fed more patient-level audio and visual data, they have the potential to open up a whole new world of a patient’s lived experience – from how a patient will respond to their ...

Single-Cell RNA Sequencing in Drug Discovery and Development
What Are the Advantages of Single-Cell RNA Sequencing? One of the significant advantages of scRNA-seq in drug discovery is its impact on target identification. By allowing researchers to dissect complex tissues and diseases at the cellular level, scRNA-seq enables the identification of distinct cell subtypes and their gene expression profiles. This information can lead to a better understanding ...

What Is Metabolomics?
Metabolism is the assembly of biochemical reactions in living organisms, the material basis for life maintenance of living organisms, and an important basis for the study of life activities. Metabolomics studies the endogenous metabolic activities of life under the influence of the internal and external environments, including the detection and analysis of metabolite types and quantities and ...

A study of e-discussion within a domain of uncertainty: the case of Tourette’s Syndrome
The growing popularity of the internet has made it easier and faster to find health information on rare and poorly understood disease topics. Much of this information is valuable, though the internet also allows the rapid and widespread distribution of false and misleading information, especially through peer-based networks. Providers frequently advise that it is important for health consumers to ...

New and diverse sources of multiple disease resistance in Wheat
Tan spot (caused by Pyrenophora tritici-repentis) and Stagonospora nodorum blotch (SNB), (caused by Phaeosphaeria nodorum) are destructive diseases of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.). The majority of currently grown wheat varieties are susceptible to both diseases, presumably because of high pathogenic variability occurring in these fungi or narrow genetic background for resistance in wheat ...

Enzymes for Disease Diagnosis: An Overview
Enzymes are protein molecules that catalyze chemical reactions in living organisms. They are involved in many metabolic processes and play a critical role in maintaining the health of the body. In recent years, enzymes have been widely used in disease diagnosis, providing a quick and accurate way to detect and monitor diseases. Enzymes for disease diagnosis can be divided into two categories: ...

The Structure of Key Proteins in Parkinson`s Disease Solved
Australian researchers have recently solved a multi-year mystery about Parkinson's disease. They solved the structure of a key protein that is expected to rapidly treat this incurable disease. The findings appear in Nature. For the first time, the researchers took a "live" shot of a protein called PINK1. The findings explain how this protein is activated in cells, thereby initiating the ...

Whatever Happens, the Patient Has to be at the Center
In honor of World Cancer Day, we sat down with two Adapters to understand how their personal experiences with cancer intersect with their work at Adaptive. Kathy Thompson (Key Account Manager, clonoSEQ sales) is a stage 1 colorectal cancer survivor. Shannon Fatigante (Talent Acquisition Senior Program Manager) has a father currently fighting chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL). Shannon: ...

Navigating the Bioinformatics Workflow for Whole Exome Sequencing: A Step-by-Step Guide
Next-generation sequencing (NGS), which makes millions to billions of sequence reads at a fast rate, has greatly sped up genomics research. At the moment, Illumina, Ion Torrent/Life Technologies, 454/Roche, Pacific Bioscience, Nanopore, and GenapSys are all NGS platforms that can be used. They can produce reads of 100–10,000 bp in length, enabling sufficient coverage of the genome at a ...
