A simple asthma blood test may be in the works

A new study offers promise that a simpler test for asthma may soon be available.

Note: Dr Faoud Ishmael attended St. Margaret’s, Camp Street. Georgetown. Guyana.

Up until now, there hasn’t been any easy way to diagnose asthma, but a new discovery may help scientists create a blood test for the breathing condition.

Penn State researchers previously showed that chemicals in the lungs and blood called microRNAs — miRNAs for short — which may regulate proteins involved in allergic inflammation, could be used as asthma biomarkers. But the researchers didn’t know if people with asthma have different miRNA compared with people who have other related conditions, so they took a deeper look.    Continue reading →

The Secret Shame of Middle-Class Americans

Nearly half of Americans would have trouble finding $400 to pay for an emergency. I’m one of them.

Since 2013, the federal reserve board has conducted a survey to “monitor the financial and economic status of American consumers.” Most of the data in the latest survey, frankly, are less than earth-shattering: 49 percent of part-time workers would prefer to work more hours at their current wage; 29 percent of Americans expect to earn a higher income in the coming year; 43 percent of homeowners who have owned their home for at least a year believe its value has increased.

But the answer to one question was astonishing. The Fed asked respondents how they would pay for a $400 emergency. The answer: 47 percent of respondents said that either they would cover the expense by borrowing or selling something, or they would not be able to come up with the $400 at all. Four hundred dollars! Who knew?
