The present subject matter provides, inter alia, compositions, systems, kits, and methods for diagnosing and treating small vessel diseases (SVDs).

Blood and bodily fluid reader systems, including circulating biomarkers involving multiple mitochondrial releasates for providing real-time, at-the-scene objective indicia of individuals sustaining mild TBI.

The present disclosure discloses a method for preparation of derivatives of gram-positive bacteria surface capsular polysaccharide, and belongs to the field of carbohydrate chemistry. The present disclosure takes glucose as a glycosyl donor to obtain a target β-glucosidic bond, then successfully synthesizes a disaccharide building block through a method of redox of a glucose C-2 site, and then takes the disaccharide building block as a repeat unit to synthesize a target oligosaccharide structure such as a derivative [.fwdarw.3)-α-D-Manp-(1.fwdarw.4)-β-D-Rhap-(1.fwdarw.].sub.5-Linker of gram-positive bacteria cell wall capsular polysaccharide. A reduction end of decose is linked with a linker to be linked with a protein to make glycoconjugates for immunological studies. The method provided by the present disclosure is simple, time-saving, labor-saving and low-cost, and the resultant derivatives of the gram-positive bacteria surface capsular polysaccharide may be used for development and preparation of medicine related to autism.

The present invention is directed to polymerized products and compositions useful for the treatment and prevention of amyloid disease in a subject. The invention further relates to isolated antibodies that recognize a common conformational epitope of amyloidogenic proteins or peptides that are useful for the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of amyloid disease.

The present invention relates to an antibody for detecting acetylation of COX2 protein, and uses thereof, and more specifically, to an antibody that specifically recognizes the acetylation of S565 residue of the COX2 protein; and uses thereof for diagnosing neurodegenerative diseases or inflammatory diseases. An antibody or a functional fragment thereof according to the present invention specifically binds to an acetylated residue of COX2 protein, and can thus be very effectively used for diagnosing neurodegenerative diseases, inflammatory diseases, and the like in which the degree of acetylation of S565 residue of the COX2 protein is reduced.

Disclosed herein are methods and compositions for the detection of biomarkers for cardiac diseases. Disclosed herein are sample collection devices comprising detection devices for heart failure. Disclosed herein are methods of detecting, monitoring, preventing, or treating heart failure.

Featured are biomarkers for, e.g., diagnosis and prognosis of spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) as well as identification of responders to treatment of SMA. Also provided are methods of treating subjects with SMA.

Epileptic seizures are difficult to diagnose and are often difficult to distinguish from several conditions with similar presentations, and therefore, diagnosis of seizures is often a long, expensive, and unreliable process. This invention provides biomarkers for identifying seizures and epilepsy, assays for measuring and assessing biomarker concentration, predictive models based on biomarkers and computer systems for detecting, assessing and diagnosing phasic and tonic changes associated with seizures and epilepsy in all clinical and healthcare settings. Diagnostic methods, kits and predictive models provided herein provide quantitative and/or qualitative assessment in order to allow patients to proceed immediately to diagnostic and/or treatment protocols, and assess therapeutic treatment effectiveness.

The invention relates to antibodies and antigen-binding fragments that specifically bind to microtubule-associated protein tau. The invention also relates to diagnostic, prophylactic and therapeutic methods using anti-tau antibodies.

Provided are methods of mitigating, reversing or eliminating in a subject one or more symptoms associated with cognitive impairment associated with amyloid deposits in the brain (e.g., olfactory dysfunction as a risk factor of dementia, mild cognitive impairment, Alzheimer's Disease) by detecting and targeting gram negative bacteria in the brain.
