A new blood test that uses atomic force microscopy technology appears to be effective as an Alzheimer's diagnostic test.
Researchers have developed a new and innovative surgery that involves the transfer of nerves to help restore movement to children suffering paralysis as a result of contracting AFM.
Researchers detected immunological remnants of enterovirus in the nervous systems of more than 12 patients with acute flaccid myelitis (AFM). The findings provide the strongest evidence to date that AFM is caused by a virus. The discovery could lead to improved diagnostics for the condition and the development of a vaccine for AFM.
