Researchers have identified inflammatory biomarkers which can be used to develop a test that can help detect whether the brain has suffered injury in the first hour of accident.

While researchers at four clinical sites in the United States took part, the project included hundreds of children across the country.

Scientists have developed a new probability model that has shown 70 percent accuracy in predicting patients, who are at greatest risk of having their first psychotic episode within 12 months, compared with the 28 percent accuracy of the current criteria.

In a major step towards development of a blood test for Alzheimer's disease, researchers have discovered a set of biomarkers (indicators of disease) that predicted whether or not a given individual would develop the debilitating disorder that impairs memory.

Researchers at University of New South Wales, Australia and the University of Oxford believe the research opens up new avenues for understanding why the HIV virus persists in some patients and remains dormant and undetectable in others.
