COVID-19 (SARS-CoV-2): information about the new virus variant

The new variant transmits more easily than the previous one but there is no evidence that it is more likely to cause severe disease or mortality. Main points Data from whole genome sequencing, epidemiology and modelling suggest the new variant ‘VUI – 202012/01’ (the first Variant Under Investigation in December 2020) transmits more easily than […]

Diagnostic antibodies and antigens for Hypertension testing: aldosterone (RAA/Aldo)

High blood pressure (hypertension) is a common disorder. it may eventually cause health problems, such as heart disease. Subgroups of the patients have been identified on the basis of their responses to hormonal and biologic stimuli. These subgroups include low-renin hypertensives and nonmodulators. Aldosterone, the principal human mineralocorticoid, which control blood pressure by holding onto […]
