A 2022 statement from the World Health Organization (WHO), defines the term this way: “Disease X is [used] to indicate an unknown pathogen that could cause a serious international epidemic.”
Disease X is a term that was created years ago, and the World Health Organization started including it on its list of priority diseases in 2017 alongside familiar diseases like Zika and Ebola. It ...
The WHO says 406 cases of the disease have been recorded and that more than half of those who died were children younger than 5. Mysterious illness, dubbed "disease X," has killed dozens in Congo ...
Colored scanning electron microscope (SEM) image of SARS-CoV-2, speculated in 2020 as being the first virus to create Disease X [1] [2] [3]. Disease X is a placeholder name that was adopted by the World Health Organization (WHO) in February 2018 on their shortlist of blueprint priority diseases to represent a hypothetical, unknown pathogen.
The mean epigenetic age of the five pure Syndrome X subjects was 6.7 years (standard error=1.0) which is not significantly different from the mean chronological age of 6.3 years (standard error=1.8). Notably, the oldest pure Syndrome X case had an epigenetic age of 14.5 years which was 3.2 years older than her true chronological age.
Five-year relative survival rates describe the percentage of patients with a disease alive five years after the disease is diagnosed, divided by the percentage of the general population of corresponding sex and age alive after five years. Typically, cancer five-year relative survival rates are well below 100%, reflecting excess mortality among ...
In 2018, the World Health Organization coined the term “Disease X” to represent a potential or hypothetical pathogen that could cause human disease in a population that has no prior immunity ...
[5] Advances in big data analysis allowed for the new types of "aging clocks" to be developed. The epigenetic clock is a promising biomarker of aging and can accurately predict human chronological age. [6] Basic blood biochemistry and cell counts can also be used to accurately predict the chronological age. [7]
