Our findings align to those reported in other studies and point towards pathways that potentially contribute toward pathogenesis in DM1. However, the currently available data is not sufficient for these miRNAs to be made DM1-specific biomarkers because they seem to be common to many muscle pathologi

The results show a low DM1 prevalence in Malaysia with the possibility of underdiagnosis and demonstrates the feasibility of using a clinical and TP-PCR-based approach for rapid and cost-effective DM1 diagnosis in developing countries.

Probiotics comprise a large group of microorganisms, which have different properties and thus confer different benefits. The use of probiotics has shown promising results in the management of diarrheal diseases. While the availability of probiotic products has flourished in the marketplace, there is

High blood pressure (BP) is dubbed the silent killer as symptoms are uncommon in the initial stages. This results in many people left undiagnosed and untreated. Some people experience the coincidental occurrence of certain symptoms such as headaches, nosebleed and fatigue.

High blood pressure causes | My Health My Life

When you first wake up in the morning, blood pressure (BP) increases due to the bodys normal circadian rhythm. Circadian rhythm is a daily 24-hour activity cycle that affects our sleep/wake patterns. In the morning, the body releases certain hormones such as adrenaline and noradrenaline.
