"A medical technology company in Australia is aiming for a world-first: it wants to launch a blood test for endometriosis (sometimes called 'endo' for short) within the first half of this year [2025].
In a recent peer-reviewed trial, its novel test proved 99.7 percent accurate at distinguishing severe cases of endometriosis from patients without the disease but with similar symptoms.
Even in the early stages of the disease, when blood markers may be harder to pick out, the test's accuracy remained over 85 percent.
The company behind the patent, Proteomics International, says it is currently adapting the method "for use in a clinical environment," with a target launch date in Australia for the second quarter of this year [2025].
The test is called PromarkerEndo.
"This advancement marks a significant step toward non-invasive, personalized care for a condition that has long been underserved by current medical approaches," managing director of Proteomics International Richard Lipscombe said in a press release from December 30.
Endometriosis is a common inflammatory disease that occurs when tissue similar to the lining of the uterus grows in other parts of the body, forming lesions. The disease can be very painful, and yet the average patient often suffers debilitating symptoms for up to seven years before they are properly diagnosed.
While there are numerous reasons for such a long delay, symptoms of endometriosis are often highly variable, unpredictable, difficult to measure or describe, and dismissed or overlooked by doctors.
Today, the only definitive way to diagnose endometriosis is via keyhole surgery called a laparoscopy, which is expensive, invasive, and carries risks.
Proteomics International is hoping to change that.
In collaboration with researchers at the University of Melbourne and the Royal Women's Hospital, the company compared the bloodwork data from 749 participants of mostly European descent.
Some had endometriosis and others had symptoms that were similar to endo but without the lesions. All participants had a laparoscopy to confirm the presence or absence of the disease.
Sifting through the bloodwork, researchers ran several different algorithms to figure out which proteins in the blood were best at predicting endometriosis of varying stages.
Building on previous research, a panel of 10 proteins showed a "clear association" with endometriosis.
For years now, scientists have investigated possible blood biomarkers of endometriosis to see if they could differentiate between those who have endo and those who do not. Similar to cancerous tumors, endo lesions can establish their own blood supply, and if cervical cancer can be diagnosed via a blood test, it seemed possible that endometriosis could be, too...
Proteomics International claims patents for PromarkerEndo are "pending in all major jurisdictions," starting first in Australia.
It remains to be seen if the company's blood test lives up to the hype and is approved by the Australian Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA). But that's not outside the realm of possibility.
In November of 2023, some researchers predicted that a "reliable non-invasive biomarker for endometriosis is highly likely in the coming years."
Perhaps this is the year."
-via ScienceAlert, January 9, 2025
--
Note: As someone with endometriosis, let me say that this is a HUGE deal. The condition is incredibly common, incredibly understudied, and incredibly often dismissed. Massive sexism at work here.
I got very lucky and got diagnosed after about 6 months of chronic pain (and extra extra lucky, because my pain went away with medication). But as the article says, the average time to diagnosis is seven years.
Being able to confirm endometriosis diagnoses/rates without invasive surgery will also lead to huge progress in studying/creating treatments for endo.
And fyi: If you have a period that is so painful that you can't stand up, or have to go home from school/work, or vomit, or anything else debilitating (or if any of those things apply if you forget to take pain meds), that is NOT NORMAL, and you should talk to a competent gynecologist asap.

Scientists have figured out a non-invasive way to determine if a transplanted organ is failing to take in a patient – no matter if it's a kidney, liver, lung, or heart. It's the first time that biomarkers of dysfunction have matched across multiple types of transplanted organs, and it hints at the possibility of a blood test that can diagnose early rejection in all transplant scenarios – a tool that doesn't yet exist. If more research is done, the newly identified biomarkers could even be used to differentiate between various types of organ rejection, including immune issues, inadequate blood supply, or maladaptive repairs.

The proteome content of blood clots observed under different conditions: successful role in predicting clot amyloid(ogenicity) - Preprint Posted Dec 3, 2024
A preprint I'll be keeping my eye on: What do Covid and Sepsis have in common? More than you think or is comfortable. Could lead to better treatment, though.
Abstract A recent analysis compared the proteome of (i) blood clots seen in two diseases – sepsis and long COVID – when blood was known to have clotted into an amyloid microclot form (as judged by staining with the fluorogenic amyloid stain thioflavin T) with (ii) that of those non-amy-loid clots considered to have formed normally. Such fibrinaloid microclots are also relatively resistant to fibrinolysis. The proteins that the amyloid microclots contained differed markedly both from the soluble proteome of typical plasma and that of normal clots, and also between the disease studies (an acute syndrome in the form of sepsis in an ITU and a chronic disease represented by Long COVID). Many proteins in the amyloid microclots were low in concentration in plasma and were effectively accumulated into the fibres, whereas many other abundant plasma proteins were excluded. The proteins found in the microclots associated with the diseases also tended to be themselves amyloidogenic. We here ask effectively the inverse question. This is: can the clot proteome tell us whether the clots associated with a particular disease contained proteins that are observed uniquely (or are highly over-represented) in known amyloid clots relative to normal clots, and thus were in fact amyloid in nature? The answer is in the affirmative in a variety of major coagulopathies, viz. venous thromboembolism, pulmonary embolism, deep vein thrombosis, various cardiac issues, and ischaemic stroke. Galectin-3-binding protein and thrombospondin-1 seem to be especially widely associated with amyloid-type clots, and the latter has indeed been shown to be incorporated into growing fibrin fibres. These may consequently provide useful biomarkers with a mechanistic basis.

Can’t believe I have to say this but birth control cannot give you PCOS. PCOS has genetic and environmental factors that have nothing to do w BC. Researchers can predict the later development of PCOS from biomarkers present when you’re a baby. If you went on birth control as a teenager and then just recently went off it as an adult and started having PCOS symptoms it’s bc birth control is often used to treat PCOS. It was just masking the PCOS that whole time, and you were relatively young when you first started taking it, so your symptoms hadn’t become obvious yet.
Not that hormones can’t have a huge impact on health, but you should be wary when any woman starts talking about how birth control “ruined her body” bc even if she’s telling the truth there’s a good chance that she actually has a serious underlying health condition that became more apparent by either stopping or starting birth control. It does not mean birth control itself is evil. The problem is the lack of research into health conditions that affect women and how they affect women. It’s not that your woman-body is so wild and unpredictable that there’s no telling what some mysterious female hormones could do to you.
Also not all hormonal birth control is going to affect your body the same anyway. People tend to have very different reactions to high estrogen and low estrogen pills respectively, for example (including myself). It’s completely understandable to be wary of how stopping/starting the pill could affect your body, but keep in mind that most of the changes actually triggered by that would be a. temporary and b. could be managed by switching to another form of birth control or adding a separate medication or treatment to manage symptoms if you really need to be on that specific form of it.
#like medical science has absolutely failed women & people w ovaries uteruses etc#but you also shouldn’t give in to anti-science logic about how your body works#don’t do their job for them. you deserve better. you deserve concrete information and a robust understanding of your biology.#birth control#PCOS

The study titled, Hypothesis: ultrasonography can document dynamic in vivo rouleaux formation due to mobile phone exposure, was recently published in Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine:
Carrying a cellphone against the body has become commonplace in our world replete with smartphones. Acute and chronic health effects caused by these devices emitting radiofrequency radiation from multiple antennas have not been well evaluated. In this study, the popliteal vein of a healthy volunteer was imaged with ultrasonography prior to and following the placement of an idle, but active smartphone against her knee for 5 min [Apple iPhone XR smartphone operating on the AT&T mobile network—Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and cellular data antennas were all turned on, but the phone was otherwise inactive and idle.]. Pre-exposure longitudinal sonographic images demonstrate a normal anechoic lumen to the popliteal vein. Images obtained 5 min after direct skin exposure to the smartphone demonstrate a dramatic change in the acoustic appearance of the vessel. The interior of the vessel became coarsely hypoechoic with sluggish flow seen in real-time images, a typical sonographic appearance for rouleaux formation. A follow up examination performed 5 min after the subject walked around yielded continued rouleaux formation in the popliteal vein, albeit less dramatic than that observed immediately post exposure. This revolutionary in vivo method to assess radiofrequency radiation induced rouleaux formation should be further pursued in the general population to determine its prevalence and if its occurrence provides a unique biomarker of exposure that may predict morbidity.
To illustrate this study in an easy-to-understand diagram, I created the following graphic:

Astronauts' eyes weaken during long space missions, raising concerns for Mars travel
The low levels of gravity (microgravity) in space cause significant changes in astronauts' eyes and vision after six to 12 months aboard the International Space Station (ISS), according to a study published in the IEEE Open Journal of Engineering in Medicine and Biology.
Université de Montréal ophthalmologist Santiago Costantino found that at least 70% of astronauts on the ISS have been affected by spaceflight-associated neuro-ocular syndrome, or SANS.
In the biophotonics research unit he runs at the UdeM-affiliated Maisonneuve-Rosemont Hospital, Costantino assembled a group of researchers to identify the biomechanical changes responsible for this disorder.
They analyzed data collected by the Canadian team at NASA on 13 astronauts who spent between 157 and 186 days on the ISS.
The subjects had an average age of 48 and came from the U.S., European, Japanese and Canadian space agencies; 31% were women; eight were on their first mission.
Three parameters involved
The researchers compared three ocular parameters before and after the astronauts' space missions: ocular rigidity, intraocular pressure, and ocular pulse amplitude.
They measured ocular rigidity using optical coherence tomography with a customized video module to improve the quality of images of the choroid. The other two parameters, intraocular pressure and ocular pulse amplitude, were measured using tonometry.
The study found significant changes in the biomechanical properties of the astronauts' eyes: a 33% decrease in ocular rigidity, an 11% decrease in intraocular pressure, and a 25% reduction in ocular pulse amplitude.
These changes were accompanied by symptoms including reduced eye size, altered focal field and, in some cases, optic nerve edema and retinal folds.
The researchers also found that five astronauts had a choroidal thickness greater than 400 micrometers, which was not correlated with age, gender or previous space experience.
"Weightlessness alters the distribution of blood in the body, increasing blood flow to the head and slowing venous circulation in the eye," explained Costantino. "This is probably what causes the expansion of the choroid, the vascular layer that nourishes the retina."
Long-lasting changes
According to the researchers, the expansion of the choroid during weightlessness could stretch the collagen in the sclera, the white outer layer of the eye, causing long-lasting changes in the eye's mechanical properties.
They also believe that blood pulsations under microgravity can create a water-hammer effect in which sudden changes in blood-flow-pressure cause a mechanical shock to the eye, leading to significant tissue remodeling.
Eyes return to normal
According to the researchers, these ocular changes are generally not cause for concern when the space mission lasts six to 12 months. Although 80% of the astronauts they studied developed at least one symptom, their eyes returned to normal once back on Earth.
In most cases, wearing corrective eyeglasses was sufficient to correct the symptoms developed aboard the ISS.
However, the research community and international space agencies are cautious about the consequences of longer missions, such as a flight to Mars. The eye-health effects of prolonged exposure to microgravity remain unknown, and no preventive or palliative measures now exist.
The Maisonneuve-Rosemont research team is waiting for more data from NASA to continue its investigations.
"The observed changes in the mechanical properties of the eye could serve as biomarkers to predict the development of SANS (spaceflight-associated neuro-ocular syndrome)," said Costantino.
"This would help identify at-risk astronauts before they develop serious eye problems during long-duration missions."

How AI is Being Used to Predict Diseases from Genomic Data
Introduction
Ever wonder if science fiction got one thing right about the future of healthcare? Turns out, it might be the idea that computers will one day predict diseases before they strike. Thanks to Artificial Intelligence (AI) and genomics, we’re well on our way to making that a reality. From decoding the human genome at lightning speeds to spotting hidden disease patterns that even experts can’t see, AI-powered genomics is revolutionizing preventative care.
This article explores how AI is applied to genomic data, why it matters for the future of medicine, and what breakthroughs are on the horizon. Whether you’re a tech enthusiast, a healthcare professional, or simply curious about the potential of your own DNA, keep reading to find out how AI is rewriting the rules for disease prediction.
1. The Genomic Data Boom
In 2003, scientists completed the Human Genome Project, mapping out 3.2 billion base pairs in our DNA. Since then, genomic sequencing has become faster and more affordable, creating a flood of genetic data. However, sifting through that data by hand to predict diseases is nearly impossible. Enter machine learning—a key subset of AI that excels at identifying patterns in massive, complex datasets.
Why It Matters:
Reduced analysis time: Machine learning algorithms can sort through billions of base pairs in a fraction of the time it would take humans.
Actionable insights: Pinpointing which genes are associated with certain illnesses can lead to early diagnoses and personalized treatments.
2. AI’s Role in Early Disease Detection
Cancer: Imagine detecting cancerous changes in cells before a single tumor forms. By analyzing subtle genomic variants, AI can flag the earliest indicators of diseases such as breast, lung, or prostate cancer. Neurodegenerative Disorders: Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s often remain undiagnosed until noticeable symptoms appear. AI tools scour genetic data to highlight risk factors and potentially allow for interventions years before traditional symptom-based diagnoses. Rare Diseases: Genetic disorders like Cystic Fibrosis or Huntington’s disease can be complex to diagnose. AI helps identify critical gene mutations, speeding up the path to diagnosis and paving the way for more targeted treatments.
Real-World Impact:
A patient’s entire genomic sequence is analyzed alongside millions of others, spotting tiny “red flags” for diseases.
Doctors can then focus on prevention: lifestyle changes, close monitoring, or early intervention.
3. The Magic of Machine Learning in Genomics
Supervised Learning: Models are fed labeled data—genomic profiles of patients who have certain diseases and those who do not. The AI learns patterns in the DNA that correlate with the disease.
Unsupervised Learning: This is where AI digs into unlabeled data, discovering hidden clusters and relationships. This can reveal brand-new biomarkers or gene mutations nobody suspected were relevant.
Deep Learning: Think of this as AI with “layers”—neural networks that continuously refine their understanding of gene sequences. They’re especially good at pinpointing complex, non-obvious patterns.
4. Personalized Medicine: The Future is Now
We often talk about “one-size-fits-all” medicine, but that approach ignores unique differences in our genes. Precision Medicine flips that on its head by tailoring treatments to your genetic profile, making therapies more effective and reducing side effects. By identifying which treatments you’re likely to respond to, AI can save time, money, and—most importantly—lives.
Pharmacogenomics (the study of how genes affect a person’s response to drugs) is one area booming with potential. Predictive AI models can identify drug-gene interactions, guiding doctors to prescribe the right medication at the right dose the first time.
5. Breaking Down Barriers and Ethical Considerations
1. Data Privacy
Genomic data is incredibly personal. AI companies and healthcare providers must ensure compliance with regulations like HIPAA and GDPR to keep that data safe.
2. Algorithmic Bias
AI is only as good as the data it trains on. Lack of diversity in genomic datasets can lead to inaccuracies or inequalities in healthcare outcomes.
3. Cost and Accessibility
While the price of DNA sequencing has dropped significantly, integrating AI-driven genomic testing into mainstream healthcare systems still faces cost and infrastructure challenges.
6. What’s Next?
Realtime Genomic Tracking: We can imagine a future where your genome is part of your regular health check-up—analyzed continuously by AI to catch new mutations as they develop.
Wider Disease Scope: AI’s role will likely expand beyond predicting just one or two types of conditions. Cardiovascular diseases, autoimmune disorders, and metabolic syndromes are all on the list of potential AI breakthroughs.
Collaborative Ecosystems: Tech giants, pharmaceutical companies, and healthcare providers are increasingly partnering to pool resources and data, accelerating the path to life-changing genomic discoveries.
7. Why You Should Care
This isn’t just about futuristic research; it’s a glimpse of tomorrow’s medicine. The more we rely on AI for genomic analysis, the more proactive we can be about our health. From drastically reducing the time to diagnose rare diseases to providing tailor-made treatments for common ones, AI is reshaping how we prevent and treat illnesses on a global scale.
Final Thoughts: Shaping the Future of Genomic Healthcare
AI’s impact on disease prediction through genomic data isn’t just a high-tech novelty—it’s a turning point in how we approach healthcare. Early detection, faster diagnosis, personalized treatment—these are no longer mere dreams but tangible realities thanks to the synergy of big data and cutting-edge machine learning.
As we address challenges like data privacy and algorithmic bias, one thing’s certain: the future of healthcare will be defined by how well we harness the power of our own genetic codes. If you’re as excited as we are about this transformative journey, share this post, spark discussions, and help spread the word about the life-changing possibilities of AI-driven genomics.
